Beveridge Fights Statehood Split In Angered Senate Battle

The final passage vote stands 37 to 35, with heated exchanges between Beveridge Foraker and others as the chamber debates statehood strategy and anti Mormon provisions linger in the background.

Increased Pay Urged. Commissioner's Bill Opposed
Witnesses at the four district committee hearing on the education bill debated teacher pay. Mrs J M Gitterman argued that under the commissioners plan nearly one third of any increase would reach 18 cents per supervisor out of 1286 teachers, affecting graded and primary schools.
