With more than two weeks of lawmaking behind them, members of the current session on Capitol Hill have shown definite trends toward to-ward ignoring party lines in the interest of the state. The spirit, too, has reached relations re-lations of Gov. Herbert B. Maw with the Legislature in respect to the appropriations bill. After submitting sub-mitting his budget message on the eleventh day, the chief executive sent word to the joint appropriations appropria-tions committee that he would be willing to regard its requests in preparing his appropriations bill. It is reliably reported that his excellency even went so far as to say he would accept any legislative legisla-tive recommendations that might be made in the way of a contingent contin-gent fund. Two years ago, it will be remembered, the appropriations committee spent a great deal of the session debating over 'policy on the contingent fund. It finally final-ly wound up by taking the half-million-dollar fund away from the governor, placing it under the board of examiners as a supplemental supple-mental fund and submitting the appropriations bill on the final day of the session. Should the committee avoid a fight on policy this year, it may be able to introduce the bill as early as the 45th day, as provided provid-ed ni the joint rules, according to many observers. In spite of the governor's budg-etmessage, budg-etmessage, in which he outlined departmental de-partmental expenditures which were $7,000,000 under departmental departmen-tal requests, he has made it clear that there are many proposals that he supports. He explained this stand by saying that "It is the prerogative of the Legislature, not fSCOUTS o tin c-a' BUI LDIMGVnFO v.i'j iS'j W.V j' - t v-i.

Senate Sen-ate measures totaled 128 bills, 13 joint resolutions and one concur- 'rent memorial In addition to the important wa-i ter bill and the publicity depart-, ment measures, 'other important pieces of upper house legislation included numerous tax bills, two welfare measures and a sale by the drink proposal. Major tax bill was that proposed by the Utah state tax study com mittee w hich would equalize all assessments m the state on real property at 50 per cent of market ! value. This measure is part of the tax program being prepared to finance the state school program pro-gram to be effected under the recently re-cently approved constitutional amendments providing for a minimum mini-mum per school unit program of $3000. Another tax measure would fi nance a basic bud&et plan for in Farm Crop Goal Set For Coming Summer In United States Food production goals to serve as a guide to Utah farmers and ranchers in 1947, were announc ed today by J. Vern Hopkin, State Director of 'PMA. In the main these goals call for production as high If not higher than during the war. , World scarity of food, strong domestic demand and depleted reserves were given as major reasons for war-time level goals. Some goals, however, call for a decrease . in production. The surplus of potatoes from the 1946 crop and the cost to the government govern-ment to support prices have prompted the cut in goals for 1947. Other goals, such as an increase in-crease in tame hay reflects a desire de-sire to, return to peace-time production pro-duction and a better balance between be-tween soil-conserving and soil-depleting soil-depleting crops. Utah's wheat goal for 1947 is 300,000 acres and an average of 273,000 acres for the 1937-41 5-year 5-year period. The State's rye goal is 8,000 acres; 1,000 less than the 1946 indicated acreage but 1,000 acres more than the 1937-41 average. The barley goal for the State calls for 159,000 acres. The 1946 indicated was 132,000 acres and the 1937-41 average 100,000 acres. The oat goal is 48,000 acres. The 1946 indicated was 52,000 acres and the average for 1937-41, 46,000 acres. The sugar beet goal for 1947 is the same as for 1946; 50,000 acres. But this Is 4,000 acres more than the indicated planted acreage of 46,000 acres in 1946. As an inducement to get farmers to grow more beets in 1947, the Production and Marketing Administration Ad-ministration has increased the price guarantee a dollar a ton. In 1947 the average price for 16.2 extraction sugar will be $14.50 instead of the $13.50 for 1946. The State potato goal for 1947 is to be considered a maximum goal of 16,100 acres. This compares com-pares with an indicated 19,900 acres planted in 1946 and an average of 16,300 for the 5 years from 1941 to 1946. Individual farm goals will be established for producers of more than 3 acres and fanners who exceed their goals will not be eligible for price support under PMA Programs. The State dry bean goal is 7,-000 7,-000 acres; up a 1,000 acres from stitutions o fhigher learning to be financed from the uniform school fund. Schools would receive funds on a basis of $160 for each lower division student, $175 for each upper up-per division student and $200 for each graduate student. In addition, funds for maintenance and operation oper-ation would be distributed on a per square foot basis. Still other tax measures propose pro-pose to eliminate sales tax tokens, tok-ens, to drop school lunch taxes derived from liquor tax profits into in-to the general fund and to return all motor vehicle registration fees to the road commission. On welfare, a bill by Senators Ward C. Holbrook (-Davis) and Rue L. Cietrir (R-Salt Lake) would place a maximum on all grants and require liens on recipients property prop-erty other than their home and lot, while a second measure, bv Sen. Sol J. Selvin (D-Tooele) would place all welfare grants strictly on a basis of need. It would require re-quire recipients to get rid of all property other than their homes and lots the homes are on and would provide for liens of homes of recipients where welfare payments pay-ments are used in part to pay mortgages. Only bill to receive approval of both houses during the first two weeks, except for one or two resolutions, res-olutions, was IIB-2 by Rep. Maurice Mau-rice Anderson (D-Utah), which would permit the Utah Vocational School to use its dedicated credits cred-its to pav operational costs until June 30, 1947. Other House bills were introduced intro-duced by title only having been introduced previously in the Sen-! ate. Major House bills, however, would provide for establishment of a state boxing and WTestling com-: mission; would grant cities the power to build and construct, and charge for such operations, sewers sew-ers and sanitation systems; would create a state education fund to improve higher education through a 5-cent tax per ton on the state's resources and would provide for distribution to cities and counties of a portion of the state's liquor profits. the 1946 indicated and the 1937-41 1937-41 average. The tame hay goal for the State is 525,000 acres. The 1946 indicated was 510,000 acres and the 1937-41 average was 496,000 acres. Farmers will be urged to increase tame hay acreages. The State goal calls for an increase In milk production. The 1947 goal is 682,000,000 pounds compared with an indicated production pro-duction In 1946 of 680,000,000. But this will mean an increased production pro-duction per cow as the goal for dairy cows call for 110,000 cows compared with 112,000 in 1946 and an average of 9.6,000 for the 1937-41 period. The per cow goal is 6,200 pounds compared with 6,070 pounds in 1946 and an average of 5,646 pounds per cow for the 1937-41. The State goal calls for a reduction re-duction in the number of beef breeding cows. The 1947 goal is 135,000 head at the end of the year compared with an Indicated 143,000 head in 1946 and an average aver-age of 111,000 head for 1937-41. This goal calls for increased slaughter of beef cattle. The State goal for sheep is 1,-930,000 1,-930,000 at the end of the year; compared with 2,032,000 head at the end of 1946 and an average year-end total of 2,377,000 head for the 1937-41 period. The goal for pigs is stated in number of sows to farrow in the spring of 1946. The State goal is 12,000 compared with an indicated indi-cated 11,000 in 1946 and an average aver-age of 14,000 for 1937-41. The goal for chickens raised Is 2,670,000 compared with 2, 358,000 indicated in 1946 and an average for 1937-41 of 2,670,000. The turkey tur-key goal is 1,850,000 compared with 1,590,000 indicated in 1946 and an average of 739,000 for 1937-41. The State goal for bees is 55,-000 55,-000 colonies compared with 53,-000 53,-000 in 1946 and a 1941-45 average of 51,000 colonies.
