This cannot become effective however, before 1937. The legislature has made no effort to devise a means of revenue to substitute for these exemptions apparently feeling that they have done their part in making the exemptions possible. Helpful to Many Discriminatory Against Many Another bill just introduced in the Senate this week is apparently designed to do a double duty; to relieve property owners and to assist the county and state in the collection of back taxes. Unfortunately, it discriminates unjustly against the property owner who has kept his taxes paid, or partially so. For instance, the person who owes only for 1933 and 1931 gets a 30 per cent cut on 1931 taxes, and a 40 per cent cut on 1933 taxes, while the person who owes for 1932, or any year hack from there to 192S gets a 40 per cent cut on 1931 taxes, a 50 per cent cut on 193o taxes and a 70 per cent cut on years 1928 to 32 inclusive. Many a taxpayer, if this bill is passed, will cuss himsalf for paying 1932 taxes under hardships, thinking at the time that it was his duty, and finding now that he is penalized for it, and many a tax-p- a ei may decide to not be caught in similar circumstances, and ill wait for the next wholesale cut. Tht the bill if passed will be the means of putting many a farm or home now held by the county hack into the owners hands, and into production and at the same time bring much needed revenue into the public coffers, goes without saying. It - needs much study' however. It is highly' discriminatory against the conscientious and sets a dangerous precedent for future legislatures to overtax-paye- r, come.

The first and only real "lobby to visit the capitol thus far and to get on a legislative floor was a group of women leaders working in the interest of the child labor resolution. Most of them are prominent figures in feminine movements throughout the state. They did a good job but admitted it was a tight squeeze too tight to be comfort able. e The . lobbyist is notic able by his absence at the current legislative session. He may be heard after session hour but he is rarely seen nowadays in action near the legislative chambers. Its the busiest and hardest working legislature Utah has ev er seen in the estimation of man-- y who have had closeup views of past lawmaking bodies at work and one prone to speed up mat tera to a great degree. Anent this point of speed behooves those having an inter est in any specific legislation to shake a leg if they desire to be heard by committees or individual legislators. They may wake up to find their pet measures out ot committee and up for floor con sideration before the shaking well underway. Its a lcgisla cure for early birds only.

That the Peterson bill limiting the power of the governor in calling out the state militia in the event of riots or disorders caused by labor troubles is unconstitutional was the belief expressed Wilby Adjutant General W.

According to the general, the governor uses only the soverign power of the state when he calls out the national guard to preserve order in the event that civil authorities have thoroughly demonstrated their inability to do so. He contends that under the state constitution the chief executive must do this just as much in the case of riots and the like caused by labor troubles as in any other trouble-causinfield.
