The railroads, he said, were allowed an increase in rates of 10 per cent to cover wage adjustments.

He held that the' enactment of a temporary tariff law would require as much time as would be necessary for a permanent tariff. If the country demands, relief and an emergency law, he suggested that this be confined to a simple antidumping provision and possibly an amendment to the present law, basing rates on American rather than foreign values.

Will Continue to Defend Contention That United States Will Not Be Deprived of Any of Her Rights ' in Adjustment of Problems. Washington. The policy of the Harding administration with respect to American rights growing, out of the participation of the United States in the world war will not differ materially from thaj of the Wilson administration, it has been learned, in authoritative quarters. Adjustment of the situation growing out of the award of a mandate over the Pacific island of Yap to Japan will be insisted upon as determinedly by this administration as It was by the last, It was said, and the attitude with respect to the British mandate over Mesopotamia will be maintained, i It has been made clear that the dew administration will continue to defend the contention that the United States has not yielded and cannot be deprived of any of her rights as one- of the victors, and must be considered in the adjustment of the problems created by the war. Confidence has been expressed that an amicable adjustment of alL questions will be effected, although government officials, have not yet completed a definitive charting of the course they will follow in all cases.

The fourteenth session of the Utah state legislature cams to a close at 5:57 oclock Saturday afternoon, March 12, after having ex ceeded the time limit by two days. day session 127 During the sixty-tw- o bills were Introduced in the senate and 244 in the house. Legislation Which will revolutionize the several departments of the state has been enacted. The first of these measures is the creation of a depart- ment of finance and purchase, which turns over a number of boards and commissions and makes the one department responsible for a number of things, all purchases for the state having to be made through this department and centralizing the gov- ernment in this branch. Another creates the department of registration and in this department Is centered a number of commissions and boards, which does away with a numi ber of others.. Still another department is that of; agriculture, which was one of the new bureaus to be created and which, like the others,' takes ' over several old boards and commissions. ' Changes' have been made iu the state board of equalization and assessment, the number comprising that body being reduced from four to three. t In the state road commission the law has been completely changed, the new commission being composed of three, all of whom must be practical men, instead of the former commis- sion, .which was composed of .the secretry . of state, audltor of state,' attorney 'general and the' stale 7 engineer. In the land office the greatest change has been made. Under the law the board consisted of five members, while the new law creates a board, with all the authority which heretofore was vested in a commission of five. Authority heretofore vesting in the state board of health has been materially curtailed, wihiHe some commissions have been merged in with the board. ' Among the greater changes that have been made in departments outside of the creation of new ones, is in the office of the state superintendent of public instruction, where a number of useless offices have been abolished and the functions of the superintendent, which had been usurped, returned to him. The powers of tha state board of education have been enlarged. Changes have also been made in the motor vehicle law, new license fee provided, greatly increasing the tax placed on auto owners. Another bond issue amounting to $1,000,000 is authorized for the maintenance of the roads and to carry out existing contracts. Another bond issue of $500,000 is authorized to care for a deficiency in the general fund created under the last administration. A measure was passed which makes the senate consist of twenty senators from thirteen districts and the house to be made up of fifty-fiv- e representatives, with Salt Lake returning six senators and sixteen members of the house. While the old law providing for a bond issue of $1,000,000 was repealed, owing to the fact that the government did not provide a similar amount, a bill was passed which provides for and authorizes a bond issue for the purpose authorized in the soldier settlement act of Utah. Perhaps more freakish legislation was proposed by this legislature than any other since statehood. There were five measures presented, one in the senate, which has become a law, and four in ihe house, all of which met death. The senate measure was the one of Senator Southwick, the bill, which was passed after a stormy debate in both house and senate. Its provisions are drastic. Efforts made by the opponents of the measure to substitute another less drastic measure failed. The measure of Representative Parker of, Cache county, which would have created a blue Sunday, was another freak bill. This one prohibited ill kinds of amusement on Sunday and vvould have closed all ball parks and oicture theatres, but It was killed by :he committee to which It was t . -- , gov-,eru- one-ma- n anti-cigaret- te ' |
