Show " Utah Legislative Roundup (By SAM TAYLOR) ing spent on the Utar school In one of the most surprising moves of the current session, the Utah House of Representatives voted Tuesday in favor of the establishment of a junior college in the vicinity cf Roosevelt. By an almost unheard-o- f vote of 60-House members booted the Uintah Basin junior college bill on to system. In the Senate, an amended proposal to exempt teachers salaries from annual publication was approved Thursday. The measure, designated HB 48, was passed originally by the House and amended by the Senate on third reading. With well over half of the 1959 session over, major education bills were still in the background. They will without a doubt constitute the bulk of legislative debate in closing days. Sunday Closing Progresses Efforts to recall and defeat the Sunday Closing bill in the House failed Monday when opponents were able to gain only 6 representatives to bring their total to 28. The measure went to Gov. George D. Clyde Tuesday, but the Governor immediately passed the bill on to the Attorney Generals office without arriving at a decision. Attorney General E. R. received the law for legal advice. The Governor stated that he was concerned about possible constitutional ramifications of the bill. On Thursday, Rep. Ernest I. Wilson who led the unsuccessful House at 1, the State Senate for further consideration. Among other junior college considerations before the legislature this session, but as yet not acted on, is one which n would give Richfield a lower-divisio- college. The biggest problem of the year involving the states school system, the proposed increase of classroom'unit appropriation from $$4800 to $5700, was tabled by the House Tuesday shortly after passage of the Roosevelt college bill. The school appropriation bill was reported out of committee with a $5300 recommendation, but was tabled until a measure to provide emergency school building funds had reached the calendar. The committee recommendation, while lower than the figure asked by school officials, shows a substantial increase over money now be Cal-iist- er (D-Jua- Utah's School Share Will Increase $12,1 Million -- J! during next biennium, if Utahs 1959 Legislature adopts the program recommended by the House Education Committee. to calculations According made by Uah Foundation, the State would be required to furnish $73.0 million during the next two years for local school operations under the $5,300 program recommended Committee. by the House Constitution cf the present $4,800 school program would cost the State $60.9 million during the next bienniuc.

Observers had at first believed the Sabbath prohibition would be attached as an amendment to tre original Sunday Closing bill but, the house passed it without amendment. Rep. Wilsons proposal, if approved by the House, Senate and Governor, would become effective March 15. Local Option Tax Only three votes were cast, in the Senate against the proposal to provide for a local option increase in the sales tax. The measure, introduced by Senate President Sherman Lloyd, provides legal means for counties and cities to add a per cent to the present two per cent sales tax. The per cent, whichwould be collected by the State Tax Commission, would be refunded to the areas authorizing its collection for use in county and municipal governments. Many of the Senators who voted in favor of the measure indicated that their own areas did not need the extra revenue and hoped they would not yield to the temptation to collect the tax. The local option provisions, howerer, made the bill palatable to many who would have ordinarily voted against an increase in sales cne-ha- The Payson Chronicle, Payson, Utah Nellie Finch, and Julet Bigler.

Fertilizers Help Boost Sugar Beets 5 tons an Acre (SsS) How difficult it is to persuade a man to reason against his interest; though he is convinced that equity is against him. John Trusler 66 ffl 99 takes JxJpmen gen fertilizers. USS Nitrogen Fertilizers really boosted our yields. Thats the statement of O. J. Hansen, who farms near Elsinore, Utah, with his sons, James and Havolyn. I figure we increased sugar beet yields about 5 tons an acre with proper fertilization and also increased our barley yields substantially. On our silage com, we got about a 5 ton increase, Mr. Hansen says. Increased yields mean added profits and USS Nitrogen Fertilizers are fertilizers that' will help you achieve higher yields. It takes N, Men-U- SS Nitrogen Fertilizers for profits. Order USS Ammonium Nitrate, USS Ammonium Sulfate or USS Anhydrous Ammonia from your local fertilizer dealer now.
