The first paragraph of Maws bill outlining a policy of encouraging men reaching the age of 65 to retire from work on a pension of $30 per month and make way for employment of unemployed younger men, was the bone of contention that brought prompt challenge from some of the senators, brought a compromise amendment from the author and sent the bill to" third reading calendar where It is to rest until finance bills directly and Indirectly related to it are considered. - r Senator Conrad Frlschknecht of Centerfleld started the ball rolling when he moved to strike the first or policy paragraph of the bill de-ll those with health, strength and ability to work to retire on a pension and he thought this a bad policy to establish. Senator Maw, who had called Senator Daniel Stevens of Fillmore to the chair, defended the statement of policy, saying the real Issue was whether the legislature should tell administrative officers the spirit In which the act was to be Interpreted. Senator Will R. Holmes of Box Elder, Senator J. W. Thornton of Provo, In spirited talks f defended the policy as outlined by language of the bllL senators, asserted they (original the old age pension in some were , opposed to such a broad statement of policy as contained in the bill. Senators Ira A. Huggins of Weber, Ward C. Holbrook of Davis and Eldred M. Royle of Utah raised objections on this point and supported the motion of Frlschknecht to strike the paragraph. Senator Huggins was of the opinion that the bill as drawn, could break the state and while he voted to send the bill as amended, to 3rd reading calendar, he Indicated that he would oppose It on final passage unless its terms were still further narrowed. Senator Holmes offered an amendment to permit any taxpayer to inspect pension records, Senator Royle supported it and it was adopted. The Issue on policy was herd over to a second day of debate when Mr. Maw offered a compromise amendment deleting the 1st paragraph and adding to the second a statement of policy to the effect that no person who retired from work at 65 shall be deprived, because of such retirement, from the benefits of the act Senator Frisch-knecaccepted this amendment. The debate then turned to liens on property of pensioners, which are prohibited in the bill. Senator Royle proposed an . amendment which would require liens on property in excess of $2,000 for a single person and $3,000 for married cou-- I pies. Senator Holmes strenuously , opposed this and it did not prevail. Senator Royle moved to send the I bill to third reading calendar and there was no opposing vote though i Huggins .said there would have to be material change in the measure before he would support it on final passage. Senator Snow of Par-owsaid he would not favor the bill on final passage unless he could see where the money was coming from. Senator Holbrook and Senator Royle both indicated some other changes would have to be made before they would vote for final ht an FUNERAL RITES HONOR ABRAHAM COOK MONDAY .
