As if it make up for the listless Thursday, the Senate went into executive ex-ecutive session the following day and not only rejected the interim appointment of Wendell Grover to the State Public Welfare Commission, Commis-sion, but approved a revision of the second reading calendar to throw several important measures dealing with state government up front for early consideration this week. They left two anti-racial discrimination measures at the head of second reading, largely because they result from interim committee action, and listed under them bills concerning control of public welfare funds; repealing the property tax through which counties coun-ties provide 15 per cent of the welfare fund; eliminating the Publicity Pub-licity and Industrial Development Department in its present form; providing a basic budget for institutions in-stitutions of higher learning and setting up the State Water Board. . Soon after announcing its rejection rejec-tion of Mr. Grover, the . Senate received re-ceived a communication from Gov. Herbert B. Maw appointing Heber Bennion Jr., Manila wool grower and member of the State Tax Commission, Com-mission, to the State Finance Com mission in place of Gordon Taylor Hyde, chairman. Mr. Hyde was not expected to be reappointed, but the presentation of Mr. Ben nion s name came as a surprise. It proved popular on first impression impres-sion and observers began speculat ing that Arthur McFarlane would be appointed to the tax commis- sion. . - Mr. Grover 's -interim ' appoint ment runs out on March lr-and Senate action in his case indicates that, another new name will ap pear, for appointment; to the six- year term beginning on that date Senate action during the fourth week continued to concern minor measures as a rule, although it set up some important matters for final consideration this week. Among them are fish and game bills, one of which would raise the residence hunting and fishing license li-cense fees. Hunting licenses for residents would be upped from $4 to $5, fishing for men andwomr en will go to $3 from $2 for men and $1 for women, and non-resident fishing fees would be boosted to $5, the same license fee to be charged for all hunting save deer, in which case the fee would be $30. Meanwhile, one of the 22 new bills introduced in the Senate during dur-ing the week would provide for payment of damages caused by game animals to fields and farms out of fish and game funds, with the district courts to determine the damages. i SPOTLIGHTING UTAH and 218 for 1946- The ten vear two points From Oct. 1 to Feb. 1 at the Cave Camp 16.78 Inches of precipitation fell, with 24.43 inches at the Divide; compared to 9.25 and 15.42 for last year, and a ten year average, of 9.26 and 16.57.
