Measures proposing salary increases in-creases to the state auditor, treasurer, treas-urer, court reporters and a resolution reso-lution urging the governor to raise salaries of all state employes have received approval of the lower house which, at the same time, exhibited a tendency of opposition to any attempt at-tempt to reduce the heavy tax load on the great mass of citizens of the state. Legislation granting a $600 annual an-nual increase to court reporters was passed by the house as an emergency measure and will restore the reporters to their old salary of $2400 in 1945. The attitude of the house members mem-bers can best be illustrated by the remark of Representative James L. Nielson, R., Sanpete, who said, "I oppose this bill to increase court reporters' salaries because I thought economy was to be the keynote of this legislature, but I am rapidly being forced to change my mind." Two income tax measures were pummeled by the legislators. The first by Representative S. W. Els-wood, Els-wood, D., Weber, to repeal the entire en-tire state individual income tax law, was killed, and the second measure to raise personal exemptions by Republicans Quaple Cannon Jr., and Prank Mozley, both of Salt Lake, was defeated but brought back before be-fore the house on Cannon's motion mo-tion to reconsider. This bill now lies on the house table while its sponsors await a more opportune time to bring It before the body for consideration. During debate on the income tax measures an antieconomy note was sounded by Representative J. W. Reed, D., Salt Lake, member of the appropriations committee, who said the committee already was searching search-ing for additional sources of revenue reve-nue to meet state needs. Roll call on the income tax measure meas-ure to increase exemptions showed the following representatives voting in the negative: Anderson, D., Utah; Brinkerhoff, R., Wayne; Christensen, R, Sanpete; San-pete; Durham, D., Salt Lake; Du-vall, Du-vall, D., Salt Lake; Elliott, D.; Utah; Frost, ;, R., , Kane; Gardner, Washingtonr Grotcgut.

Absent and not voting: Greenwood, Green-wood, D., Salt Lake; Nielson, R., Sanpete; Paxton, R., Millard, and Stringham, R-, Uintah (excused) Representative Cannon changed his vote to "No" to enable him to move for a reconsideration of the bill. Members of the house farm bloc were joshed several days later dur ing debate on their measure to relieve re-lieve formers of sales tax on agri cultural products which have been processed and returned to the pro ducer, following their earlier stand on the tax bill to increase income exemptions in which they contended contend-ed ' that it should be a privilege to pay taxes. H. B. 66 to grant owners of homes and homesteads a $1000 exemption where the said home or homestead is occupied by the owner was introduced in-troduced in. the house during the week. With bills offering both property and income tax relief in the house gristmill, there probably will be plenty of " "back of the scenes horse-trading" before the house members vote on either measure again. And speaking of horses, S. B. 98 to legalize horse racing and pari-mutuel pari-mutuel betting in Utah was reported re-ported back on the floor of the senate by the agriculture committee commit-tee without recommendation and its chances for final passage were considered practically nil. However, Senator June Kendall, D., Juab, professes to see a bright future for his bill, but one suspects that while he is wholeheartedly backing- the measure, he has tongue In cheek when predicting success. He stated: "I think this would be a good thing for the state. It would promote agricultural ag-ricultural interests and as for the provision of betting, well, I think it is better for people to wager money on a fine sport like horse racing than to squander it in pin-ball pin-ball machines and on other Tacketf concessions at our carnivals and fairs. We may not like people gambling, but we know they're going go-ing to do it" Five bills vitally affecting the state's mining industry w ere acted upon or introduced to the senate during the past week. Three of the measures by Senators Lynn S. Richards, D., Salt Lake, and Mitchell Mitch-ell Melich, R., Grand, would encourage encour-age mine leasing in Utah, while the other two, also by Richards and Melich, would permit women to work "above ground" hi mines and smelters ai:d would repeal the "collar-to-collar" 'mine law. The first three bills have already passed the senate and are in the house. These measures would relieve re-lieve mine lessors of the burden of paying charges assessed for social so-cial security benefits, workman's compensation and occupational disease dis-ease disability insurance.

He made a bee-line bee-line for the kitchen. Pop was al- ; ready sitting at the table, reading the paper, while Mom held the handle han-dle of the frying-pan over the stove. Small Joe came close and sniffed the delicious smoke, wriggling all over with early-morning joy. "Better be thankful for them while you can still get them." One glance at Mom's face told ?mall Joe this was one of her tight-lipped days. "Not a drop of coffee in the house, and no sugar left to put in it if there was. Some war!" Small Joe kept Still. "Letter for you, son," Pop said in his quiet voice. Small Joe made a leap for his place at table. There it was, a private personal letter for him alone, propped against his milk glass "Hey, Pop! It's from brother!" Small Joe was pulling the envelope apart and diving into the contents. "Hey, look what he sent me." He passed over an oblong of thick, crinkly paper while, he leaned over the sheet of writing-paper. "A twenty-five dollar War Bond," Pop said slowly. Mom turned and looked at it over Pop's shoulder, with the frying-pan in her hand. 1 "Listen what he says. 'How are you doing, kid? Hurry and grow up so you can, help me slap the Japs. Aren't you most big enough to get intoMhe.Afmy,Here'4 something for you in your name. Let's the whole family gang up and help to win this war.' Pop and Mom were silent. But small Joe didn't notice that. He was full of his letter and his War Bond. "Gee, Pop, in six years I could get into the Army, couldn't I, Pop? Gee, Pop, I want to be a soldier like brother and fight in this war. Gee, isn't that bond nifty? Look, it was issued in Honolulu. It's mine." But Pop was looking at Mom and Mom was looking at Pop. There were tears in- Mom's eyes. She shook her head sharply. Pop reached out and patted her hand gently. "Well, can't let our soldier boy beat us to buying War Bonds, can we, old lady?" was aH'he said. She shook her head again. "I guess if he can give up his job and . . . and go off to war I can do some fighting back at home," she said in a queer voice. Small Joe looked up at her in surprise. She saw him looking at her and spoke sharply. "Well, Joe. We're about ready to eat. Say grace." Small Joe folded his hands and bent his head as he had been taught. "Oh Lord, we thank thee for this food and all thy bountiful gifts . . ." "Amen," Pop said. "Amen," Mom said. "Now eal your good sausages."

Packers complain that such operators bid far in excess ex-cess of what they can afford to pay for cattle in the face of their ceiling ceil-ing prices. Receipts on the Los Angeles market mar-ket were somewhat curtailed last week by unfavorable weather conditions. con-ditions. Prices are generally steady with the previous week. No strictly finished steers such as sold as high as $13 per cwt. arrived on the Los Angeles market during the past week. Medium to fairly good steers cleared at $14.50 to $15.50, and common grades moved at $12 to $13.50. Common and medium heifers are quoted at $12 to , $14.50 and strictly good, fed heifers are considered con-sidered quotable to $15.50, perhaps better. Common and medium cows are selling at $10 to $12, and good flashy cows are selling up to $1250 and $13; canners and cutters at $755 to $8.50. Bulls are bringing $10 to $1255. The bulk of good and choice 200 to 240-lb. hogs moved late in the week at $15.75 to $16.10, latter price being the practical top. Heavy hogs, weighing around 350 lbs., brought $15.50, good and choice sows $14.50 to $15 and extremely heavy sows $14 a cwt. Good and choice wooled lambs are quoted at $15 to $1555, common lambs at $12.50 to $13.50; good ewes $8 to $855; common and medium ewes at $4.50 to $6.50. Home Food Supply To Be Strongly Stressed Every eligible boy and girl in rural areas of the state between the ages of 10 and 21 are being called upon during these final days of national 4-H mobilization week ending February 14 to Join with this largest of rural youth, organizations organi-zations to mobilize for the 1943 wartime farm program, according to Miss Fern Shipley and David Sharp Jr., assistant state 4-H leaders. lead-ers. - Heralded by proclamation from President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Governor Herbert B. Maw, the Utah mobilization campaign has been going forward this week with community meetings, radio programs pro-grams and exhibits. Miss Shipley stated that 4-H groups throughout the state have been reaffirming their goals for produtcion and conservation con-servation as well as enlisting new members to Join their efforts under the 4-H banner. Highlight of the national 4-H program was the presentation of an ambulance to the U. S. army on February 6. This ambulance and another presented to the American Red Cross at the national club congress con-gress in Chicago last December were financed entirely by contributions from club members. In addition to the army and Red Cross ambulances which cost $1600 and $1500, respectively, respec-tively, the 4-H clubs of the country coun-try also contributed $450 to the Red Cross to purchase 450 soldiers sol-diers comfort kits. Utah 4-H members, together with those of all the 48 states raised the majority of these funds through the collection of scrapt metal, phonograph records and rubber, thus making a "double-barreled" contribution to the war effort, explained ex-plained Miss Shipley. Other activities participated in by 4-H members last year which are being planned on an even larger scale for 1943 are the following projects: Clothing, home furnishings, furnish-ings, food, dairy, beef, swine, sheep, poultry, crops, gardens, forestry,, home grounds improvement, rural electrification and insect control. In addition they are planning special spe-cial wartime activities, such as buying buy-ing war stamps and bonds, collecting scrap, and, protecting property against fire and other hazards. With the cooperation of the parents, par-ents, club leaders and county agents throughout the state, we feel sure that the 4-H clubs in Utah will be able to contribute even more to the war effort during 1943," is the statement issued Jointly by the two state 4-H leaders. Leather Care Advocated By College Engineer All Utah farmers should start now to take special care of tiieir harnesses because of an Impending limitation of leather supplies, A. C. Jacquot, agricultural engineer- at the Utah State Agricultural college warned this week. ; ' One of the reasons for the shrink ing supply of farm needs is that the armed forces are getting the bulk of the leather for gun covers and other equipment, Mr. Jacquot stated. At the same time, an in creased demand for harness ma terials is expected as tractors and tractor parts decrease or run out. Mr. Jacquot therefore urged farmers to consider the use of replacement re-placement parts before ordering a new harness, but if a new outfit is needed it should be ordered as early as possible. Care of the harness Is of great importance, Mr. Jacquot declared. A careful inspection for breaks or weak places two or three times a year will help to avoid breaking and costly delays during the busy season. - . : He recommended taking the harness har-ness apart for cleaning, repairing and oiling. The harness should be soaked in washing soda water for 10 to 15 minutes, each piece scrubbed ' until clean, and then rinsed well. Worn straps should be repaired or replaced. When the harness is nearly, but not wholly dry, rub edge blacking on parts where needed and apply warm neat's foot oil or a good commercial com-mercial harness oil, Mr. Jacquot suggested. sug-gested. The oil should be rubbed thoroughly thor-oughly into the leather and allowed to dry slowly. It is sometimes best to rub the straps after they dry with a lather made of harness soap to remove excess grease. Too much oil will take the hair off the horse. Such an overhauling should be made at least once a year, Mr. Jacquot advised. fiff rtt ' " d til yi'ft pa b- a,- n f. -a m if " S-j Livestock Prices Holding Firm On L. A. Market nn.

Few of the Southern California Cali-fornia packers in January were abel to meet their civilian quotas of 70 per cent of the meat deliveries of the same period In 1941. The result re-sult has been that many meat shops have failed to receive as much as 50 per cent of their normal requirements require-ments and many shops have received re-ceived far less than that. However, some relief to civlians Is anticipated antici-pated as packers make up their quotas during February and March. The most serious problem confronting con-fronting the legitimate packers on the Pacific coast is in widely publicized publi-cized "black market."
