State Lawmakers Get Down To Real Work After Four Weeks By William The lawmakers really went to' work making laws this fourth week of the twenty-sixth legislature. legis-lature. While the only major measures passed by both houses were the liberalization of the workmen's compensation act and the occupational disease act introduction of the governor's post war planning and construc tion bills and virtual completion of the new school financing measures bring into legislative view almost all of the important controversial proposals the twen ty-sixth legislature is expected to deal with. The senate and house had one of their to be expected alterca tions when the house demanded the upper body rescind its action ac-tion In naming a sifting commit tee and the senate figuratively thumbed its nose at the house for suggesting such a thing. So the Senate sifting commit tee of seven, headed by Lorenzo E. Elggren (D-Salt Lake) will hereafter have complete say as to what bills are brought to the floor of the senate whether those be house or senate measures. Many a well lntentioned proposal will have its head lopped off right there. And inasmuch as the house has a hundred more bills before it now than It did two years ago at this stage of the proceedings there's certain to be some wailing wail-ing and gnashing of teeth. The Governor's post war bills which would enable counties and municipalities to share in possible poss-ible state and federal funds for planning and construction, per mit the state publicity and in dustrial development commis sion to assist communities in set ting up small manufacturing and industrial enterprises, met ..with rather cordial response In most quarters. His suggested appropriation approp-riation of $2,000,000 to the state board of examiners for these construction and planning activities acti-vities may strike some snags. Pension and pay measures for public employees are numerous and far reaching embracing everybody on the state payroll from the governor to the school janitor. It's too early to predict what will happen to them but if the usual economy bloc starts doing much arithmetic the more social minded legislators are in for some difficulties, because all of the bills call for some state as well as Individual contributions. contribu-tions. The house set up a uniform uni-form salary committee, Jos. L. Newey (D-Ogden) to harmonize such measures. Senator Grant Macfarlane (D-Salt (D-Salt Lake) succeeded in having the senate pass his bill for a poleomyelitis hospital with a half million dollar appropriation, the largest to get by either house so far. Of course requested appropriations ap-propriations exceed by far estimated esti-mated revenues and the Governor Govern-or suggested budget. How to bring these all Into line is the more nearly sixty-four millions -WATCHES- Ladies' and Gents' Wrist Watches Ladies' 9 and 17 Jewel WATCHES from 24.75 and up We have RINGS, LOCKETS, IDENTIFICATION BRACELETS and many other Swell Gifts too numerous to mention. E. N. WEBB JEWELER & OPTOMETRIST Main Street Lehi T. Iglehcart dollar question confronting the joint budget committee now in the throes of daily sessions. They have appointed sub-committees to examine all proposals and some of those reports are beginning begin-ning to sift back to the whole committee. While partisan politics hasn't been much In evidence on the floor of the houses unmistakable evidence of the interest of party organization in the doings of the legislature is seen in the frequent appearance in the cap-- liol halls of Roscoe Boden the Democratic state chieftain and his Republican opponent Vernon Romney. It is more than a guess that their current interest centers cent-ers more In the appointments Governor Maw is recommending to the senate for confirmation than in most of the actual legislation. legis-lation. Some of the povernor's major nominees for state jobs are now known to be under very close scrutiny and furthermore, the results of the last election where Governor Maw dropped so far behind his ticket, have induced the party big-wigs to a more determined de-termined attitude in patronage matters. A reconstitution of the current methods of providing funds for the state's educational system is seen in the series of five bills that will be introduced this week by the Governor's committee on school finance headed by speaker speak-er of the house Rulon R. White. The measures will provide a more equitable method of ap portioning funds, a simplification simplifica-tion of the present formulas under which funds are distributed distribut-ed and likewise provide a committee com-mittee to continue a study of Utah's entire system of taxation with a view to providing the next legislature with a groundwork for legislative action. Basketball Game Here Friday Night Basketball fans will have a chance to witness a game on the local gym Friday, when Lehl and Lincoln tangle in a league game.

The sophomore game will begin be-gin at 7 p. m., and the main event Is scheduled for 8 p. m. Reserved Reserv-ed seats are now on sale at the high school. Tuesday evening the Pioneers met the Provo Bulldogs at Provo, and were defeated 43-30. The local team put up a good fight until the last quarter, when their opponents chalked up more points than they could cover.
