Show iLW POINT bcf yet wnIllMB OP DILLS PRESENTED bol nOES NOT EQUAL RECOIID OP lou D0M 1921 SESSION ihfl vot " ape w,.n ths fifteenth legislature the a the halfway point of its lnboro "1 rt v there had been Introduced In I the f ewS. I toUl o I" bills and three J kill tttTon memorial.. Compared of h th wo" of the fourteenth leCL-1 ner r," th volume of measures is not cor WVm On the thirtieth day of thai fa! Ceding lewlon fl3 bills had been .qui entcd in the lower house and six-1 mo uo resolutions and memorials had ; ma Reived attention. Thero remain only leg Says more for the offerins of bills, Re. .rid it is anticipated that there will be me "heavy Increase in the dally introduc- cv( tlons from now on. dei Representative Stookcy of Tooelo tht county submitted his first measure. ' It is bill No. 98 and extends the re- hai aponsibllitlcs of railroads in tho fene- ins ing off of lands contiguous to railway kit lines. The present statute requires enl only the fencing of right of ways and ma crossings through private lands. Mr. sld Btookcy's bill, amending section 1253, br( laws of 1917, would require tho build- 1 ing of fences along railroad tracks, dei whether through privato or public tie lands, when commissioners of any Th county may deem it necessary for tho coi public good. Furthermore, when cul- enl verls or other openings pass under th tracks and are largo enough to permit coi the passage of livestock tho openings thi are not to be fenced off, but the fenco pei is to be built up to and over tho cul- i vert or opening. I The house banking committee pro- sul poses to make building and loan nsso- the cktions subject to tho power of tho I state bank commissioner, in the ap- thi proval of articles of incorporation of Sir such organizations. The committee, to 2 attain this object, has introduced bill cui No. 100, which amends section 1105, J laws of 1917, and adds section 1100X, an relating to the organization and super- ! vision of building and loan assocla- tions. The bank examiner shall have (si power to call for special reports from Dr tho associations, domestic or foreign, whenever ho believes it necessary. In coi the event incorporators feel them- j selves aggrieved by any decision of the po: bank commission, they may appeal tho j decision to tho board of examiners, tho j decision of which shall be final. stc Expressions of delight at tho enter- tainment afforded them at Cedar City ad were heard on all sides among the ; committees from tho house and the aic lenate -which visited that city and ta: the Branch Agricultural college main- ; Mnid by the state there. As to the ta: naln purpose of tho trip, it appeared foi that the committee is decided that the j :ollcgo Is rendering a service well coi worth while to tho state, and that it Re should be continued, with tho policy coi being kept in mind that it should grad- i lally cease preparatory or high school an work and become more and more, dur- CI ing the next few years, a junior col- pa lege, giving perhaps the equivalent of thi the freshman and sophomore collcgiato courses. com Another move toward lessening jeni taxes took place in the house of repre- 1 scntatives when tho bill prepared by wat tho senate committee on ngrlculture g was indorsed. The bill proposes to cou eliminate tax payments on feeder live- at ( stock. A similar measure was orig- Inally prepared by Senator Candlarid sta and the one passed yesterday was a l. substitute. Its principal object is to encourage the feeding of sheep and for cattle in tho state. Consumption of hoi Utah's surplus hay and other stock Ay foods will be increased because of the advantages vouchsafed by the meas- coi arc, according to its supporters. Lacking a constitutional majority by s two votes, the Hollenbeck measure re- tjor pealing tho act and the laws govern- 8en Ins the public utilities commission, was killed in tho' lower house of tho legis- Fo, lature. There were twenty-six votes caat in favor of tho measure and a I j similar number against it. Three mem-1 1G bers of the house wcro absent during I 1 the roll call. Tho death of the biil,'m which was J'o. 30, docs not by ony'aj,. means end present session legislation g in which the commission is concerned. 0j j Debate preceding tho voting was prac- g tically a repetition of tho arguments 'jta already presented in the house and bo-1 jj fore the judiciary committeo in public 1 cert bearings. Whllo ardent opposition against tho jer jepeal of the utilities act was offered, j,, " was apparent that the prevailing i , entlment of the house is not in har- ' wony with the commission and the I 11 aws governing it, and that changes the statutes and limlnatlon of tho Am Vowers of the board are desired. With weeptIons, opponents of the Hol-,nt rk bi dedardo their disapproval I I " the prerogatives of tho board and catcd their willingness to indorse pr "rtain changes.

Che Hollenbeck measure repealing ! i utilities commission act, which was : led in the houso Wednesday because the lack of two votes, was very irly resuscitated. A motion to re- c isidcr tho action of Wednesday r led by ono vote to obtain tho re-ircd re-ircd constitutional majority. The c tlon to reconsider the voto was 0 ,de by representative Bailey. Tho c nlity of tho motion attacked by prcscntatlve Calllster nnd other F mbers. Speaker Secgmiller, how- t sr, ruled that the motion was in or- c because Mr. Bailey had voted with c s majority Wednesday, rhe contention was set up that thero i been no majority, tho vote hav- c ; been a tie. Since the bill was led tho speaker ruled that oppon- 1 ts of tho measure consltutcd the ijority. On their wish for n rccon- s oration. One more vote would have c ught the bill to life.
