It was understood that Mr. Roosevelt's compromise plan was a provision mat prevailing wages would be paid on all work which came into direct competition with private industry.

Legislator Resents Aspersions On Holisc By Senators SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, .Mmeh 1 HJ.R Warfare be-tv.ven be-tv.ven the house and senate of the I'tah legislature be-" came a possibility today when Rep-. Charles W. Spence, D., Salt Lake City, threatened to lead a revolt against every measure that came before the house for final action. Spcnce took exception to remarks re-marks made m the senate Thursday Thurs-day when that body refused to concur- in house amendments to the-personal income tax measure. Huggins Critical Senator Ira Huggins, D., Og-den, Og-den, pointed out that the senate had considered the bill three days before arriving at a decision on the bill The house, he said, apparently ap-parently intended to kill all senate sen-ate amendments, and did so with about 15 minutes consideration. He added that many members of the house were not taxpayers, while all those in the senate werti, and should know more about tax measures. The disputed provision was for a S50 property tax offset which the house deleted from the bill. Spenee. speaking- on personal ! privilege told the house that: Tins is the 47th day of the legislative session, and it is apparent ap-parent that the senate had no intention of passing any farm or labor bills. .The senate amended a house measure regulating working hours m underground mines and conference confer-ence committees were unable to agree. which apparently, has killed the bill "If that is to be the attitude of the house." Spence contintleM, "then I serve notice now that i will attempt to have killed every senate measure that appears be-t'o-e the house. I think we are not getting a square deal from the senate. I take exception to remarks that we are a bunch of radicals who never pay taxes. As a matter mat-ter of fact, there isn't a person in the state of I'tah who doesn't pay taxes of some sort " A. F.

BEVERLY HILLS, taL, Feb. '.J8. Quite a few of our writer are wondering why J. P. Morgan is selling hi paintings. He is getting more for 'em than he give. That might be a small possible clue. Headline in paper says he is "letting his miniatures go." Then I guess he is letting that midget go. Did you ever see pictures in the paper where a fellow had left his wife for another woman, that the wife he left wasent better looking than the new one? All you read about Washington is, how are they going to spend that four billions. There hasent been even one suggestion as to where it was to come from. It must be marvelous to just belong to some legislative body and just pick money out of the air. Yours, ft !. UcMturU Sriit. la. |
