While the only major measures passed by both houses were the liberalization of the workman's compensation act and the occupational disease act introduction of the governor's post war planning and construction bills and virtual completion of the new school financing measures bring into legislative view almost all the important controversial legisproposals the twenty-sixt- h lature is expected to deal with. The senate and house had one of their to be expected altercations when the house demanded the upper body rescind its action in naming a sifting committee and the senate figuratively thumbed its nose at the house for suggesting such a thing. So the senate sifting committee of seven, headed by Lorenzo E. lt Lake) will hereElggren after have complete say as to what bills are brought to the floor of the senate whether those be house or senate measures. Many a well intentioned proposal will have its head lopped off right there. (The editor of The Press knows E. L. Elgigren personally and well, and he is a man of high character and purpose, and may be depended on to safeguard the interests of the majority of the people of this commonwealth. We are fortunate to have a man of his calibre to head this important sifting committee. There is no more strategic position in the state senate.) And as the house has a hundred more bills before it now than it had two years ago at this stage of the proceedings there's certain to be some wailing and gnashing of teeth. The Governor's postwar bills which would enable counties and municipalities to share in possible state and federal funds for planning and construction, permit the state publicity and industrial development commission to assist communities in setting up small manufacturing and industrial enterprises met with rather cordial response in most quarters. His suggested appropriation of to the state board of examiners for these construction and planning activities may strike some snags. Pension and pay measures for public employees are numerous and far reaching, embracing everybody on the state payroll from the governor to the school janitor. It's too early to predict what will happen to them but if the usual economy bloc starts doing much arithmetic the more social minded legislators are in for some difficulties, because all of the bills call for some state as well as individual contributions. The house set up a uniform salary committo tee, Jos. L. Newey harmonize such measures.

Some of the Governor's major nominees for state Jobs are now known to be under very close scrutiny and furthermore, the results of the last selection where Governor Maw dropped so far behind his ticket, have induced the party to a more determined attitude in patronage matters. A reconstruction of the current methods of providing funds for the state's educational system is seen in the series of five bills that will be introduced this week by the Governor's committee on school finance headed by speaker of the house Rulon White. The measures will provide a more equitable method of apportioning the funds, a simplification of the present formulae tinder which funds are distributed and likewise provide a committee to continue a study of Utah's entire system of taxation with a view to providing the next legislature with a groundwork for legislative action. big-wi- gs |
