1t is possible the democrats in coz

tariff bill as they did with the bill re-
pealing the Sherman law and thereby
earn obloquy. The bill should be
passed at once and go into effect at
once. That would be good politics and
business as well. The appeal OF the

receive no heed Make the bill law

Utah Legislature
in Special Session

Salt Lake City, Sept. 30.-Utahs
legislature convened in special ses-
sion at noon yesterday for the specific
purposes of providing an appropria-
ton which will enable the attorney
general of the state to enforce exist
ing laws to prevent combinations af-
fecting control of prices governing
the disposition of cold storage prod
ucts and to consider and ratify or re-
ject the proposed amendment to the
national constitution which would eX-
tend suffrage to women.
The proposed legislation, which is
expected to affect the high costs of
food stuffs in Utah, will come as a
direct result of the recent governors

legislation sought will be passed with
out delay.
National suffrage is certain to find
almost unanimous support in this
state, one of the first in the union
to grant the vote to women.

STATE MEMORIAL
Seems ASSURED
DOANE ROBINSON SAYS SENTI-
MENT is ON INCREASE
FOR 1T

Parker, Sept. S0.-Interest in the
proposed soldier-sailor memorial
building, to be erected on the state
capital grounds at Pierre, was re-
vived here this week when Doane
Robinson, state historian and a mem
Der of the state memorial committee,
visited Parker, and outlined the plans
for the memorial building.
He reported that in number OF
counties splendid work had been done
and that the memorial building was
now assured, and that as he visited
the various counties where for one
reason or another a complete canvas
had not been made, he found that
there was no county which wanted to
be left without adequate representa-
tion.
In Turner county complete can
vas was made last May at the time of
the drive, in only three precincts
Turner, Salem and Irene-with lit
ed for this apparent lack of interest
were that, as in Parker, plans were
then on foot for the soldier-sailor Gel
ebration, and that there was some
open opposition to a memorial on the
state capital grounds.
Mr.. Robinson stated that he had
found some opposition elsewhere for
the same reasons, but that that had
practically all passed away now, since
ii was a certainty that the building
was to be erected and all counties
wanted adequate representation. He
had also visited Viborg, Centeryille
and Hurley, and stated that commit
tees had been appointed there to raise
their share of the county's proper
tion
