WHAT THE BOYS BE A DOM
DOWN TO THE LEGISLATURE
First Aid Provision Stricken Out of Teats' Bill
Flopping of Certain Solons.

claimed Speaker Taylor; at is mot
the bill of the Hay liability COM
mission"
Then he went on to tell that
the lumber interests were really
the originators of the compulsory
idea because 1t would result in
much benefit to the employers OF
labor.
And right on top of that he
sta I'D that he opposed the first
aid clause on account of his solicit
tude for the workingmen.
But l am opposed to the first
aid clause because the laboring
people will not get as square a
deal under it as we are giving
them now" he said. Employers
have hearts, and they always take
care of their injured" And there
were enough gullable solons to
swallow this, and to strike out the
first-aid provision.
Gullable SOlOns.
Gullable solons? Yes. For here
is how Taylor showed that en-
ployers have hearts. When Ed
Wright Immediately afterward Of
fere1 an amendment to compel
employers to take care of their
sick and injured at their own ex-
pense, and not on the fees they
collect from their employees, and
made it a misdemeanor for the
violation of this obligation, Speak
err Taylor actually guffawed at the
very idea.
"Why not put us in the peni-
Tertiary for employing people at
all?" he said. And again he and
his confederates prevailed. From
then on, the rout was perfect.
All of which is very ludicrous
in view of the fact that there is
a normal majority in the house in
favor of labor measures. On the
first ballot the vot was a tie, 40
to 40. After Taylor had taken
the floor, upon reconsideration
of the amendment, large number

flopped, and first aid was killed
by a vote of SO to IS.
Those who flopped were: Alex
ander, Cameron, Ennis, Eshelman,
j. A. Miller, Moody, Phipps, Ru-
dene, Thompson and Webster.
Some tried to dodge the issue
and had absented themselves on
the first vote. On a call of the
house, the following of the abb
sentees recorded themselves
against the first aid provision:
Candy, McKenna, Moren, A. M.
Stevens. The following remained
absent: Foster, Client, Locke,
Minard, Smith.
Here are the 35 who stood by
labor and the first aid clause from
start to finish: Atkinson, Boyle,

OLYMPIA, Feb. 22.-The
house of representatives yester-
day was buffaloed by the minor
ity. Its members were fooled,
tricked, and stampeded. Speaker
Howard Taylor, employer and
capitalist, led the successful at
tack on the first provision OF
the employers compensation act
and actually had the audacity to
say that he was doing it in the
interest of the working people of
this state. And the house of rep
resentatives fell for it, notwith-
standing the fact that not single
representative of labor had asked
for he elimination of this clause.
The first aid provision in the
compensation act meant that the
state commission would take
charge of a fund contributed to
by employers and employees equal
ly for their use in time of injury.
And here is how Howard Tay-
lor, ably assisted by those stand
patters Representatives Beach of
Mason county and Representative

all employers of labor, then and
there pleaded to let them retain
their private hospitals, because il
was for the best interests of the
laboring people, they said.
1--WE have always taken care OF
our injured and SICK" they said
'"This act only takes care of those
injured, but not those who become
sick" Therefore, they contend

not get as good treatment under
the first aid provision as they re-

When Congressman Victor Muir
dock was in Spokane, speaking for
Poindexter, he got the treat of his
life. He shook hands with a man
who had as fiery hair as himself.
1t was Harve H. Phipps, who made
the Poindexter nominating speech
in the lower house. Though
Phipps is lawyer. he never made
any laws before. But he likes the
game, and he lands with both feet
and all of his red hair when he

busy when he wanted to defeat

OGDEN. Utah. July 29.-W. C. Barnes
representing President Taft and the tariff
board in checking up the information
gathered by special agents of the govern.
ment on wool and sheep industries, ar
rived in Ogden this morning after visiting
four of the largest sheep states Of the
west.
In a statement today he says that the
data obtained prove that sheep can be
raised, wool clipped and marketed and
lambs disposed of at a cost of $50 a
head. the annual revenues from which,
with wool at 13 cents, totals 1891, leaving
a profit of $1.s1 head
His figures follow:
+ Cost a head to raise sheep. all expenses
incident to grazing, herding, shearing,
dipping, lambing, freight on wool and
mutton, interest on money invested, ETC.,
$3.50.
Wool Worth 81 Cents.
Average clip of wool per head, seven
pounds, at an average of 13 cents per
pound. delivered. 81 cents.
Average price of lambs, S3.0C: average
increase being figured at about so per
cent placed on market, $40.
Total receipts. 1881.
Total net receipts. per head, S1.S1.
Mr.. Barnes says that there may be
slight variation by states in the cost of
raising sheep, and in marketable value
as to the wool clip, lambs and mutton,
but that the figures show the average in
the territory over which he has travelled.
He suggested that the cost of raising
sheep might be reduced considerably by
better business methods.
