Show " 1M " As to the "legislation pending, of which tha" governor speaks, ;Miere art already several Mis before the legislature which might contribute, If they or any of them pass. The house has bills before it to abolish the public utilities commission, for which $50,890 is appropriated in the budget; and the state securities commission, which is, however, a source of revenue to the state general fund, contributing to it a surplus over its expenses from the fees taken in There is another bill in the house which would require that the expenses of the state industrial commission be paid out of the state insurance fund. The buderet total for CLE BILL RECEIVED SENATOR PETERS INTRODUCES MEASURE CHANGING LICENSE FEE AND GASOLINE TAX amendment to the The ati te nvtor vehicle laws, including the ganoline tax law,, was introduced Thursday in the senate by Senator J. W Peters of Boxe.lder county. The gasoline tax bill is about as a r i :j ii y announced as the recommendation of the state commission on revision of taxation, except that the cents rate earned is two and one-haa fill on, instead of two cents advocate ! by some, and three cents advocated by others. Licensing of "dealers in motor vehicle fuels is carried in the bill, an) provision is made for collec-tro- n of the tax from the distributors, wh Mj.y, of course, pass the tax the consumer. afore ,. The proceeds of the tax, estimated rouKhly at $625,000, are to be covered into the state treasury by the secre- taty of state, who collects the tax, and are to go into the state highway maintenance fund, after the interest and sinking fund of state road bonds are cared for annually. Remittances are to1 be made the fifteenth of each month. Motor vehicle fuel for export from the statu is excluded from the tax. The second of the bills amends various features in the present law regulating motor vehicle licenses and their collection. Solid tires are any kind that does not depend wholly on confined air for the support of the load. A dealer may handle secondhand automobiles as well as new ones. A chauffeur is "any person who operates a motor vehicle in the transportation of persons or property, and who receives any compensation for such service in wages, commission or otherwise, paid directly or indirectly, or who, as owner or employee, operates a motor vehicle carrying passengers or property for hire. Alterations are made in the provisions covering the size of license plates, so as-- to parmitof better with the manufacturers of uch provision Is' made for eliminating the vexatious charges of the past two years, when an owner changes his tar midseasons. Transfer of the licenses will cost but $1. The new schedule of license fees is changed by a reduction of approxid for the passenger mately cars and the smaller trucks. A horsepower of not more than 25 charges a foe of $5; the charge is $7.50 for a horse power of 25 to 40; $10 for 40 to 50 horsepower and $12.50 for all above 60. A half ton truck wouldpay $5 per truck $7.50 annum, a three-quartand a ton truck $10, and a one and truck $20, other truck licenses remaining as they are. A el trailer for the camper is exempted from the trailer provisions of the present law. The traffic regulations are altered as regards signs, so that cars shall be equipped with provision for hand and arm signal, or else mechanical devices. Trucks are required to carry long-expect- lf bar-Kini- one-thir- this commission is $91,570. Senator C. L. Furrk of Cache county is studying economy and reduction of expenses. He introduced a hill in the senate which would require that all officers and employees of the state should be entitled to free transportation, intrastate, subject to restrictions laid down by the state board of examiners. This would serve to reduce the state's travel bill considerably. The Cache senator also proposes a bill to limit the state supreme court to three members, instead of the present five. This would be accomplished by the expedient of electing justices in the future only for six-yeterms, Thus the membership would trradually be reeduced, first to four members and then to three. Publishers of newspaper in rural communit;es had many defenders in the house of representatives, when a proposal to reduce the legal printing rate was hotly opposed by several members. The prop6sal was contained in House Bill No. 17, by Representa tive Shelley. It sought to change the present law governing the printing rate to be charged in towns of less than 25,000 population from 10 cents a line for each insertion to 10 cents a l'ne for the first insertion of les-a- l ad vertising and 5 cents a line for subThe bill was desequent inrertions. feated after considerable debate by a vote of 31 nays to 28 yeas. The author of the measure and Rep resentative Stookey and Jorgensen were the principal speakers in favor of its passage. Each said that the rate now established is excesive, and that publishers received in payment for le gal advertisment out of proportion to space consumed. Representatives Hollenbeck, Wilkins, Judd and Jonee opposed the bill in debate. The tenor of their defense was to the effect that publishers of small newspapers realize little profit from such advertis'm;, even at the present rate, and to reduce it would be to deal a severe blow to them. The mainten ance of small community newspapers, each said, is necessary to the welfare or the communities, and that in con sideration of the service they render the public, they are entitled to all they are receiving as payment for legal -- er one-half-t- on two-whe- mirrors. Tax levies on livestock are to be ma terially Increased for the purpose of providing funds with which to pay bounties on predatory animals, though the bounties, in some instances, have been removed and for all animals they have been lowered A levy of 4 mills on the dollars for all sheep and goata is, proposed in the place of the levy.

With the budget came the draft of the gen-'-a- l appropriate bill, which was introduced In the house, and also a lM.er from Governor Mabey, transmit? the budget. The governor's letter calls attention ti the excess of the budget over the states estimated revenues, but adds that the enactment of pending legislation tr.ay serve to save the $107,000 in expenses. The governor adds that the president of the board of the Utah f Agricultural college asserts that it will tba impossible, to maintain the Branch Agricultural eollegt at Cedar City on tie amount stipulated the budget 'if a ar x advertising. For six hours Tuesday afternoon and evening members of the legislature and their friends studied problems and equipment of the University of Utah. As President Thomas E. McKay of the senate said during a talk, they found at least that three department of the university are in good working order, those of athletics, music and domestic science. The visitors saw a basketball game between varsity r.nd a picked 'earn, heard various programs of music under the direction of Professor Thomas E. Giles, and were served a most sumptuous turkey dinner under the direction of Miss Lucy Van Cott, dean of women. The fact that such an elaborate din ner, beeinning with a soup and ending with cake, ice cream, candy and coffee for those who wanted it, could be served to a crowd of 200 or more in the cafeteria, in such prompt order. and with victuals so well cooked and served in such appetizing manner, was a tribute of itself to the management of the cafeteria. It is likely that a special joint committee; ronistimr of members" of the senate and the house will be selected to visit and inspect the Branch Arri cultural college at Cedar City. Representative Jorgensen. chairman of the house appropriations committee., said that thi-- e had been some misunder standing concerning who should in vestigate conditions at the college, and made a motion that Speaker Seeg-milland two other members of the house constitute a committee to confer with n committee from tb senat con sisting of President McKay and two sppatcs, relative to the ap:)o;n'.nint of the investigating committee. The motion was carried and representatives Jon? nnl Openshaw were appointed by the speaker to serve with him 'n conjunction with the sna?., committee. I.en "tv and ardent debate on the prop.xi'd snlary of the s'a'e game commissioner took place in thi lower house r.f the legislature. The discussion ensued when a majority and a minority report on house bill No. 30, by Representative Robert B. White of Reaver county, were submitted by the committee on fish and gsn-e- . The measure presents an ent;rely new set of laws pertaining to the protection of fish and game of the state, the duties of the fish and game commissioner and his salary. Repeal of the present laws is sought by house bill No. 40, by the same author. Consideration of the proposed new laws has been under way by the committee since January 20. Several amendments are proposed by the committee, to which all mem- bers agree, with the exeept.on to a change proposed by the the minority report, which would redact the salary of the comnWsioner from 1 1000 a as provided for In the bill, to $3800 a I year.
