The bill, which, it is considered likely, like-ly, "'ill K('t favorable action in lhc sen-ale sen-ale today, would allow the juibiic utilities utili-ties commission to eivc a railroad corporation cor-poration the so'.1 riejit to operate in a :,'ivcn territory, so Jony as the service it rendered was deemed sat isfaclory and sufficient. Supporters of the measure mea-sure said that for many years the project proj-ect of buildinjr a railroad into Uintah basin had l.en blocked because when one railroad announced its intention of building into the territory, threats were made by others also to build, when both knew that thft basin 's business would not support two lines. h'epresontative McKay said the. measure mea-sure was special legislation designed to favor special interests, and therelore he was opposed to it. liepre:..Mitative Holmes made the same charge against the bill. Senate Kills I'assed. , ' The house also disposed of several measures yeslerduy. At the morning "anion it passed the two senate bills as amended, increasing the penalty for steiilinir automobiles and permitting juvenile courts to hold minors to the district court for thin offense. It also approved the two senate bills requiring requir-ing cpiurlerly reports to t l:o bank commissioner com-missioner by banks in the. stale, and prescribing fees for the filing of the reports. ' M the afternoon .session, in addition to passing the bill authorizing certificates certifi-cates of necessity for railroads, the hou;..' also passed the senate bill authorizing au-thorizing county commissioners to make appropriations t'or water storage and reclamation sun eys. Representative 1. Tl. Masters of Utah county voting against the measure. The bill empowering em-powering the state land board to sell tlv Hiule project to the settlers, the bouse bill authorizing Salt Lake county coun-ty to increase its annual appropriations for widows' and orphans aid from 'J0,0OU to .-.0,U00, and a bill introduced by Representative Charles M. Croft, changing the deer-hunting season from ."November 1 to 10 to October 1.5 to 2.5.! also were approved and u.-nt to the senate. Emergency Clause Fails. Representative Croft's bill carried an emergency clause which would have made it effective this year, but tin-bill tin-bill failed to gel a two thirds majority required for an emergency clause to be effective, and therefore will not go into .ffeet until sixty days after executive execu-tive approval. Consequently it will not become a law in time to affect the deer season this year. Objection to making it effective this year was raised upon the admission by R. II. Siddowav, deputy dep-uty fish and gan:i commissioner, that some licenses for deer-hunting this year already had been issued. A statement was read into t lie records rec-ords at the request of Repre:vntarive I'. K. Morris, outlining officially Kep-resentnl Kep-resentnl i ve Arthur Welling' reasons tor withdrawing from the legislature because of the question as to his eligibility. eligi-bility. Mr. Welling 's original stal-meni stal-meni was made, verbally, ami lie desired de-sired to lie on record in the house journal jour-nal so his position might be clear in ease litigation arose on the question. The house also unanimously agreed to adjourn sine die at .5 o'clock today by .approving a resolution to that ei-feci ei-feci passed bv the senate and transmitted trans-mitted to the house. Adjournment was taken umil 10 o'clock this morning. |
