Strange, isn't it, tiis difference in
men! The stoop-shouldered light
weight with frail physique, who is
refused a policy after undergoing the
life insurance company $ test, is
with pneumonia or fever, and
after a long siege pulls through and
resumes his vocational duties for
wears, while the famous athlete, sup
posed to he a perfect specimen Of
physical manhood, after an illness of
a few days turns his face to the wall
and is known no more in the world
forever. Here was Ralph Rose, the
Californian, % years old, known as
the perfect man. He was feet

pounds, and was the champion shot
putter Of the world. He helped Amer
lea win the championship in three
Olympic contests. He died from ty
phoid fever after an Illness of a few
days. 1t seems to happen frequently
that these big, strong, fullblooded mel
are easier victims for the germs THAI
the apparent weaklings.

DORMITORY BILL
IS ALL BUT DEAD

Barnes OF Salt Lake averted the doom
OF house bill No. 43 yesterday when he
gave notice Of motion for reconsidera-
tlon after an adverse report had been
adopted. House bill No. 4S is the bill
presented by Mrs. Cannon OF Salt Lake
appropriating $50. 900 for a womnns dor
mtory at the university.
A majority report OF the education
committee recommended the passage Of
the bin with an amendment providing
that the state should be put to no eX-
pense for lighting or heating apparatus.
An advance report was returned by a
minority of the committee. When the
motion was made to adopt the majority
report an amendment was made that the
minority, or adverse, report be adopted.
The adoption OF an adverse report kills
a bill
In this case tho minority report was
adopted. 25 TO Il. The bill was declared
rejected.
Later, Barnes arose to give notice that
he would move to reconsider the vote
today. There was a long argument as to
the rule on the question. The speaker
family decided that a reconsideration
might be moved by Barnes today, which
Will probably be done. Mr.. Barnes de-
clared that the members did not under
stand the bill or It's object and that the
adoption OF the minority report had been
q hasty action.

PUBLIC UTILITIES TAX
UNDER consideration
Representatives of Public
Service Corporations Meet
With Committee.

The Joint committee on revenue and
taxation at its meeting yesterday
forenoon discussed the proposed tax on
public utilities rs recommended by the
board of commissioners on revenue and
taxation. Representatives of public
service corporations met with the COM
mittee and discussed the provisions OF
this feature Of the bill, No particular
objection was made by the public utili.
ties companies to the provisions Of
the bill, the representatives Of the conf
panics being present for the purpose
of giving the committee such informa-
tion as it might desire relative to the
proposed plan.
The meeting was attended by tho FIVE
members of the joint committee, the
board of commissioners on revenue and
taxation, and j. e. Evans, tax agent
for the Oregon Short Line railway;
J. j. Thomas. tax agent for the Den
yer & Rio Cirande railroad; w. w.
Brown, tax agent for the Utah Light
& Railway company, and II. r. Smoot,
tax agent for the Mountain States
Telephone 6 Telegraph com pany.
Much OF the session of the commit
tee was devoted to discussion of
| the amount of taxes now paid by the
crease that would result from the pas
sage Of the proposed bill. The tax
agents urged that provision be made
for deducting the bonded and floating
Indebtedness from the amount of the
assessment made On the property OF
the public service corporations.
Mr.. Brown, representing the street
railway company, objected to the pro
vision which compels public service
corporations using the public thorough
fares to pay their portion of the specia
taxes levied for the purpose Of I'M
proving the streets. Mr. Brown saic
that at present the street car company
paid for the paving of that portion
OF the street where tho track was laid
and that there was no more reason why
the company should pay for other i'm
provements than the corporation who's,
teams Travelled on the streets should
be forced to pay this tax. Mr.
Brown suggested that the teams coult
be driven where the tracks were ant
the street car company could not com
pei them even to get out of the wa
of street cars. Representative Emo
Bennion suggested that if the team
did not get out Of the way the stree
car usually bumped into them.
Another meeting OF the committe
will be held tonight in the office Of tb
, state auditor. The committee vii
consider the changes proposed b.
the bills in the tax on banking inst
tutjons and in the levying OF the in
heritance tax,

DEMOCRATS FOUND
ASLEEP At SWITCH
They Permit Killing of In
come Tax Ratification Reso-
luton in House.

The usually alert and watchful Demo
cratic minority membership OF the
house went to sleep yesterday, and per
mitted, without protest, the encompass
ing of the death of the income tax
amendment ratification resolution. In
fact, the Democrats voted for its death,
manifestly not knowing what they
were voting on.
The matter came before the house
on an adverse report by the commit
tee on resolutions on Senator Smith 5
senate Joint resolution No. l, which put
Utah S legislature in line with other
states as ratIfyiug the income tax
amendment. The adverse report was
adopted without a dissenting voice.
Afterwards, Democratic members de-
clared they did not realize what they
were voting on when they supported
tho motion to adopt the adverse re-
port. Under ruling of Speaker Seely
made yesterday in another matter, a
reconsideration may be asked today,
and if the Democrats take adranta ge
Of the opportunity they, at least, may
90 on record as favoring the income
tax.
A resolution for ratification was iu-
troduced in the house early in the ses
sion. That resolution was killed Mon
day on adverse report, the idea being
that the matter would again come uI
when Senator Smith g resolution should
be reported out Yesterday Senator
Smith s resolution was reported out
and killed, thus ending income ta1
ratification unless later action is taken

ANT|-POOLSELL|NG
BILL IS NOT LOST
Measure May Be Amended,
However, Before 1t
Reaches Governor.

There was some comment among
terday in regard to Il rumored 'mys-
terious disappearance of house bill
No "a, the Mabey -poolselliDg and
anti-bookmaking bill. This bill was
passed by both house and senate and
was returned to the house by the en-.
crossing committee Tuesday. The
mysterious disappearance - consisted
Of the discovery that it had not been
sent to the governor. Rumors added
the information that as result Of the
disclosure the bill would be
FASTENED to the governor with extraord'
mary expedition. Rumor was wrong IN
each instance,
'.As matter of fact, - said Speaker
Seely last night, ''tbe Mabey bill has
not yet gone to the governor, and there
is possibility that it will be again
presented to the house for amendment
before it is finally disposed of.
"Thus far three bills have been re-
ceived from the engrossipg committee,
one of which was the Mabey bill. They
came to ME Tuesday afternoon and
were not sent to the governor that
sion, and today there arose the con
tingency Of possible amendment.
"That amendment. which was dis
cussed with Mr., Mabey, relates to the
time when the act is to take effect
1t appears that a number of Davis
county men have contracts with the
Lagoon race track people for the sup
plying of feed and things of that
kind. 1t seems as though there is de-
sire that opportunity be gwen to full
fill the terms of those contracts, which
] understand, run to about the first OF
July.
"However, before I would permit the
recall of the bill for this amendment
or any other, would have TO be as
sured that the bill would be passed
without material change from the form
it has passed. Under no circumstance
would I permit the bill to 60 back i:
that assurance were not positively
| forthcoming.
eff it appears tomorrow, in tht
judgment of Mr.. Mabey,. that there i
no great necessity for extending tn,
time when the Jaw takes effect, the bill
| will likely 90 to the governor -
