House Passes Homestead and Personal Exemption Bills SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. 2 3. Passage of the Homestead bill for the full $2,000 exemption exemp-tion by the house of representatives representa-tives was the outstanding event of the week. This also incudes an exemption on personal property prop-erty up to $300. The measure received a fifty-one to six majority. major-ity. Another measure, the senate bill proposing certain changes in the liquor control act, also was passed by the house. The passage of the exemption bill by the full $2,000 came bs a surprise to most people since it had been thought that due to the fact that the bill won by a small majority in the vote of the people, the legislators would not place full exemption on the books. W. B Mathis, representative representa-tive from Washington county, and others placed this argument bo-fore bo-fore the house but it received little consideration. Many of the representatives, whose own counties count-ies had voted lagainst the bill, came out strong for it. Those arguing against he full exemption lointed out that in counties such as Washington, there would be lost to the gov-enment, gov-enment, most of the tax revenues. Just what the outcome will be is doubtful to many officials Blnce they point out that the exemption bill was passed before a means of replacing the lost revenues was supplied. Just whtat the Ben-ate Ben-ate will do with the bill as passed pas-sed by the house of representatives representa-tives is the paramount question in many officials minds.

Uepn-seiitativi; Walter V. Gran-i K-r of Iron who is always on! tile job when it com.es to mat-1 t.-rs d.-.sigiied to promote the welfare wel-fare of industry and business of the state, introduced in the lower house a bill designed to simplify and reduce the work of employers in making necessary reports in connection with unemployment compensation. The sponsor of the bill claims that it will save 90 per cent of the detail work in connection with reporting this data. Following Senator G. G. Lind-strom's Lind-strom's successful effort in getting get-ting junior college for Price, Utah, Representatives D. A. Tid-well Tid-well and Frank Bonacci of Car- , bon county introduced a bill In the house providing an appropriation appropri-ation of $225,000 to erect buildings, build-ings, purchase equipment and I pay operating expenses for the first year. , Representative Heber Bennion's ' resolution for an amendment raising rais-ing the pay of legislators to $S a day ran into a snag in the senate and was killed by a vota of 14 to 7. At the same time another bill was pussed in the house to pay the legislators $5 a day for 'expenses' during tile session. Representative Page of Piute declared he thought the bill morally and legally wrong. Representative Holbrook of Davis said he thought 'we are going against a mandate of the people given in the last election'. However, How-ever, the bill was passed with only seven voted against it. The .measure .meas-ure is now before the senate. Senator Holbrook's liquor control con-trol bill which prohibits sale of wine or liquor by drink and was altered by the senate to provide for a one man manager of the liquor business with two advisory commissioners, caused a flurry when it reached the house. The house judiciary committee met at S o'clock in the morning, rushed I the bill through and to the head of the calendar. But when it was taken up tor considration the lawmakers found a lengthy list of amendments on their desks which, first were thought to be scutate amendments, then house committee changes and finally were discovered to be the sale by drink provisions of the bill previously introduced in the house by Representative Wood of Weber. Mr. Wood denied knowing anything any-thing about amendments. Representative Repre-sentative Selvin of Tooele voiced the sentiments of a. number of representaives when he remarked that some one had ben trying to 'pull a fast one' on the house members. The house committee amendments were not on the desks and in the confusion over which was which and what was what in amendments Mr. Wood succeeded in getting the liquor bill tabled. At the close of the week the bill was lifted from the table and a plan to recommit the measure to committee to consider con-sider the Wood plan of sale by drinks. was set afoot. 1 The senate passed the admin-I admin-I istraticn welfare bills, but in shape to be easily amended to conform to the senate old age I pension bill, if this measure pas-I pas-I ses the house. The house passed . a memorial to congress asking Epproval of the Roosevelt plan of ' changing the supreme court af-I af-I ter a major attack on the meas- ure by Representative Milton Twitchell of Garfield and it was ' sent to the senate where it has I one to the sifting committee. Representative Page of Piute also attacked the measure indicating that the court had been packed I for a number of years by reac- tionary presidents. Senator Lawrence Nelson's state police bill was the subject of a ' bitter fight in the senate in which I the president charged the high- way patrol was used for politics.", work by the road commission and Senator Kuggins counter-charged f that the bUl was spite legisla-I legisla-I tier.. The measure was finally killed at the end c? the week. "What happened to your girl?" "She had her face lifted." "You don't say. Who do you suspect took it?" |
