Show Supreme Court Rejects Move to Kill Horse Betting Issue The Utah State Supreme Court this week rejected a move by opponents of the pari-mutuel betting proposal to have the measure stricken from the ballot in Tuesday's election. The measure was placed on the ballot via initiative. If approved by voteres wagering at horse races will be made legal. If it is not approved the state's present pres-ent anti-gambling laws will remain re-main "as it." In its unsigned opinion the Supreme Court said, " . .

The court noted that opponents of the measure acted too late, saying, ."an application for an injunction injunc-tion against the secretary of state should have been made before be-fore he had already accomplished accom-plished the duty imposed on him by law." The decision was expected to end the dispute. Secretary of State Lamont F. Toronto had certified petition signatures submitted to him by county clerks. The clerks had certified them to him.
