Show THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1933 THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1939 THE LEHI SUN, LEHI, UTAH One more week and the twenty-third twenty-third Utah state legislature becomes statute-recorded history. The curtain spelling finis to lawmaking law-making activities for another two years Is due to fall next Thursday. It will unless the often-used device of "turning back the clock" Is again resorted to In order to gain additional addi-tional hours for legislative action. That Father Time will be "halted Is almost certain If the lawmakers hope to find opportunities to consider con-sider even a small fraction of the new laws proposed In the multitude of measures introduced. Such ac- j tion will bring the session's close to a week from Saturday in toe opinion of legislative experts. Last week's highlighted activities centered largely in the passage by either the senate or lower house of several controversial bills a modified modi-fied homestead tax exemption and income tax raising acts by the house, and low cost housing and public-owned utilities financing bills by the senate. These are believed due for "rough-sledding" in further fur-ther consideration by branches still to pass upon them. The homestead tax exemption bill passed by the house lowers the proposed pro-posed $2000 In value exemption to $500. Tax raising measures aiming to restore revenues lost by the exemption ex-emption propose to lower exemptions exemp-tions in individual income taxes from $600 to $400 for single persons; per-sons; from $1200 to $800 for married mar-ried persons, and from $300 to $200 for dependents. The first 1 per cent of the tax on the first net taxable income Is placed at $500 instead in-stead of $1000 as at present. Rates are carried up to a maximum of 6 per cent Instead of the current 5 per cent. The Income tax bill also taxes the incomes of non-residents, exempting stocks, bonds and notes against corporations cor-porations outside the state, but which might be held in trust in Utah. Passage of the tax measure was followed by defeat of a bill proposing to divert $360,000 a year from liquor sales profits to the state high school fund. The senate by a close vote passed the controversial bill under which cities and counties of the state with more than 3000 population may set up housing authorities and undertake un-dertake slum clearance and low cost housing projects in cooperation with the federal government. Any such authority in a first class city must be composed of two members of the Utah Apartment House Owners Own-ers Association, a banker, a business busi-ness man, and a representative of labor. No one with an income in excess 01 $ho a year can rent a project dwelling. The senate also passed the agricultural agri-cultural fair trade practices bill already approved by the lower house. It exempted livestock products from the bill's provisions. As it stands the measure seeks stabilization of the price of farm products at a min imum of cost of production plus 6 per cent. It outlaws certain unfair un-fair practices as well. Another controversial measure removing the tax from oleomargarine oleomargar-ine made from domestic fats and oils and doubling the levy on that made from imported products was passed by the senate. Earlier in the week the senate killed H. B. No. 50, a measure aiming to simplify pro cedure for financing publicly-owned utilities, and passed S. B. No. 107, which according to its sponsors tends to curb municipal officers from undertaking un-dertaking projects before the cost is known. The house passed a bill banning fireworks and prohibiting the firing of toy pistols, etc. using explosives. It also approved a measure pro hibiting any person holding a gov-; ernmental Job paying $1000 or more j annually from holding office in anv I political party. The latter Is ex- ' it.

The lower house relegated to oblivion ob-livion two measures which had passed the Senate after much debate. de-bate. It killed an amendment to the present anti-syndicalism an act which would have liberalized the law in respect to labor meetings. It also defeated S. B. 13, under which a person failing to settle a judgment for personal Injury or property damage following an automobile accident ac-cident would be deprived of his driver's dri-ver's license and registration plates until the claim had been adjusted I or financial responsibility shown by taking out of liability insurance or posting of a real estate bond. The legislators began their next to last week's deliberations Monday with approximately 500 bills still to be considered. It is certain that a major portion of these will die in sifting committees. These powerful committees now have before them all but about a score of measures, only four remaining on the house calendar board and approximately a dozen on the senate calendar. In the hands of these committees are such important bills as those pertaining to payment of compensation compensa-tion for occupational disease victims, vic-tims, the wages and hours regulation regula-tion bill, bills amending the direct primary law and providing for a non-partisan judiciary, natural gas, patent medicine and occupation tax bills, old age assistance bills, appropriation approp-riation bills, and many others. Governor Henry H. Blood has signed 29 measures and vetoed one. A total of 585 measures, exclusive of resolutions and memorials, have been introduced. Thirteen bills have been passed by both houses and as yet unsigned by the governor. Eighteen Eigh-teen have been killed. Many have been passed by one house, but unacted un-acted upon by the other. , Seventh district legislators at last week's sessions of the twenty-third Utah state legislature varied their votes on important and controversial measures up for final action. Senator Francis S. Lundell voted yes on H. B. 59, simplifying procedure pro-cedure In the financing of publicly-owned publicly-owned utilities, which was killed in the senate after passing the house. He voted against S. B. 107, curbing municipal officers in 1 undertaking utility projects before their cost was ascertained. Senator Arthur O. El-lett El-lett voted likewise on these measures. Senator Lundell voted against S. B. 66, enabling cities and counties to undertake slum clearance and low cost housing projects in association with the federal government. Sen ator taiett was for the bill. Both voted against a bill removing the tax from oleomargarine made from domestic fats and oils. All seventh district representatives joined in introducing H. C. M. 4, asking the reclamation bureau and contractors to give preference to Utah labor on the Deer Creek reservoir reser-voir project. Representative Burton H. Adams cosponsored H. B. 293, raising registration fees on heavy trailers and semi-trailers and Including In-cluding pole trailers In the registration registra-tion act. All district representatives excepting except-ing Selvoy J. Boyer voted for H. B. 13, the homestead tax exemption act. All excepting T. Earl Foote, who was absent and not voting on the bill, voted against S. B. 30, amending and liberalizing the state syndicalism and sabotage law. All voted for H. B. 28. prohibiting public pub-lic office holders earning $1000 or more from occupying positions in political parties. Representatives Adams. Mrs. Maud B. Jacob and Glen E. Davis voted for H. B. 139, raising income taxes and lowering exemDtinns. Mr nnv er voted against this measure. Mr. Font tU nhcnt f Mrs. Jacob's bill divert! . OCCASION w AN APPOLNTJIENT- Anderson The Livestock Situation LOS ANGELES UNION STOCK YARDS, Feb. 20, Increased supplies of pork are anticipated In the United States during the present year due to increased hog production. Some ! observers believe that by the middle of 1940, U. S. hog production will be equal to the period Just prior to the years of drouth and governmental govern-mental control measure. There Is much encouragement fo hog producers and feeders in the present market situation. There appears ap-pears to be a very broad consumer demand for pork products, and as a result, reports Indicate that very little pork is going into storage, and that the market Is on a "fresh pork" basis. The market price structure is being well maintained. Each decline de-cline in price during recent months has been followed by a broad surge of buying, bringing prices back into line. Here on the Pacific Coast, hog prices reflect very satisfactory returns re-turns on feeding costs. While the top price of hogs has now and then dropped below 8c a pound, strong buying demand has in each instance carried the top back to 84 cents to 9 cents a pound. At this writing, the better grades of butchers are selling as high as last November. Increased pork supplies offer increasing in-creasing competition to beef, a situation sit-uation which may materially effect the cattle market during the re mainder of the year, as increased supplies of grain-fed beef become available in most sections. Here on the Pacific Coast, pork Is moving very satisfactorily, while there is admittedly much consumer resistance resist-ance to prevailing beef prices. The quota of beef imports from Canada to Mexico was pretty well filled early In 1939, with the result that U. S. cattle feeders may have less competition from imported beef during the balance of the quarter. Cattle prices on the Los Angeles market are the strongest In some time, and the urgent demand and shortage of supplies Is in sharp contrast con-trast to a year ago. Cows are especially scarce on the market, with the result that many range and dairy cows are bringing $6 to $7.25 cwt. Short-fed steers are bringing $8.50 to $9.50 and strictly choice long-fed long-fed steers are considered quotable well above $10 a cwt. ROMANCE IN MANHATTAN !

MOME (Continued from pate one) Biographical Sketch of William A. Wilson William A. Wilson, the son of Lawson G. Wilson and Elmira Green Wilson, was born April 11, 1883 In Grover, North Carolina. At the age of eight his parents, being Latter-Day Saints, moved' to North Ogden In Utah; and in the fall of the same year, to Lehi, where William spent the major part of his life. About the age of ten he was baptized bap-tized Into the church and later received re-ceived the Aaronic Priesthood. Will was somewhat reserved in his nature, not pushing himself forward for-ward at any time; yet pleasant and agreeable with all his associates. Those who knew him best loved him most. He loved life and his fellow men. His early life was spent in helping help-ing his father on the farm. But being a natural born designer and carpenter, he devoted the rest of his life to this work; planning and building many homes, both in Lehi and in numerous other cities. At the time of his death he was busy remodeling a large home In Salt Lake City, where he has lived for the past five years. In early life he met and married Maud Roberts. To this union was born one son and five daughters. They are as follows: Elmo Wilson, of Ophir; Mrs. Zeldon Katzer and Mrs. Katherine Collins of Reno, Nevada; Ne-vada; Wilma Wilson of San Francisco, Fran-cisco, California; Mrs. Zedith Reese and Mrs. Donna Weber, also of California; Cali-fornia; also seven grandchildren. He is also survived by the following fol-lowing brothers and sisters: Mrs. Elisha Peck, Lehi; Mrs. Mary Lee Myers, Highland, Utah; Mrs. Geneva Ge-neva Sullivan and Mrs. Lucy Peter- Ison, Salt Lake City; Mrs. Sarah Erickson, California; Alma Wilson, Salt Lake City; Monroe and Joseph Wilson, Inglewood, California. "He Is not dead, this friend; not dead, But, In the path we mortals tread, Gone some few trifling steps ahead. And near to the end; So that you, too, once past the bend, Shall meet again, as face to face, this friend You fancy dead. Original Poem By Elisha II. Peck When I first met Bill He was but a lad, Who had Jut Come from the Sunny South - "V . - With his loved ones and his Dad. And when he grew with years Bill planned Just what to do; He built a lot of lovely homes Had a wife and children too. And he was just as happy As a king upon his throne; For no man was more proud Of his children and his home. And when his hard day's work was done And the sun had sank in the West, You'd see dear Bill a hurrying home To the ones he loved the best. But time makes many changes His loved ones moved away. And dear Bill was left alone To do the best he may. But he Just went on building To make all others glad While there in his own bosom His heart seemed ever sad. Sometimes he hummed a hymn Or whistled something gay; I knew he only did it To pass the time away. One day the beloved Shepherd Went hunting for a lamb; He found dear lonesome Bill And took him by the hand. He took him back to loved ones Upon that blissful shore And Bill is now as happy Ae he was in days of yore. I know an Angel was waiting, All clothed In dazzling white; And oh how glad that mother was To have Bill again in her sight. So dear Bill is landed In his Heavenly Home; Happy there with loved ones Never more to roam.

Barrows, home furnishing specialist with the Utah State Agricultural college extension service. After all needed repairs have been made for protection, one may consider those repairs and improvements im-provements which are desirable and convenient, but which can wait without injury to the structure. A good plan is to make a systematic syste-matic Inspection of the home at least once each year, and during the winter Is a good time, Mrs. Barrows Bar-rows advises. In the first list of urgent repair needs should come those repairs which will check deterioration: First, the chimney. Is it solid or loose and wobbly, imposing fire hazards? The roofs. Are there any leaks, broken shingles or flashing pulled loose? Sometimes a house settles a little. This may show around the chimney. Chinks must be filled up with mortar or roofing cement and flashing nailed tightly in place. On the outside walls a few nails will tighten loose siding and prevent serious damage. Gutters Gut-ters and down-spouts will last longer long-er if they are cleaned and painted, Mrs. Barrows says. On the foundation of the house bricks may be loosened or timbers rotted. Repairs to the foundation are important and cannot be permitted per-mitted to wait. Window frames can be made firm, solid, and rain proof. Outside steps are often weather-rotted weather-rotted but are easily repaired. Outside painting is one of the maintenance Jobs that gives considerable con-siderable weather protection as well as improvement in appearance. Wood trip on door frames, window frames, porch floors, and roofs require re-quire painting.
