Leo Lyman, Jr. (that "Jr." hits you in the eye, now that he is past .80) is getting a reputation for wanting his land to be right flat in all directions. On his farm west of Woodrow, he is hauling sand to fill in any low places where the water stood last year longer than other places. Talking about the 40 acres west of the overpass that now belongs to his son, the Doctor, Leo said. "When I got it there were ditches running -every way to get the water onto the high ground. And it took two weeks to water it. And it wasn't watered good either. I spent a winter leveling it flat. Now it irrigates in two days. And it grows four times the crop it ever had before." E. A. Brush, south of town, claims that his land is too steep for good irrigation. At Abraham, Raleigh Franklin had i field leveled with six tenths of a foot fall across a forty. That is about seven inches in a quarter of a mile. But he says of it, "I wish I had it leveled without so much pitch. I have my ditches and gates arranged so I can put the whole ditch full into one ter race, and put the water on in a hurry, all over. "A lot of mineral is in the soil there. With any slope the mineral comes right up. But if the ground is right flat, the mineral goes right down." Frank W. Wood said that at first it was hard to get the water then it was hard to get the soil wet. "The water ran off too fast." "I have spent a lot getting my land leveled." he said. "Now I'm starting to get it back. But before I didn't have anything from the land, not enough even to pay taxes." mother, Mrs. Blanch By Harry Marlowe bill is not clear. ig an advance plan blueprinted, The Legislative Council tax bills for the first time sincel931, by Re- : aDDeared to have the early publicans, ben.

As things now stand, the 26-county "rural" bloc has a majority of one in the Senate and two in the House. Under the legislative council plan, the urban county trio would have 11 senators, a majority of 1, but would have only 25 representatives represen-tatives in the house to 28 for the others, a majority of 3.

Lee is asking an appropriation appro-priation of $3,000,000 be made from sales tax revenue to the school fund for each of the 1952-53, 1952-53, 1953-54 fiscal years. Then, because the chief executive's execu-tive's tax reduction plans also call for elimination of state property taxes, he wants to give $4,500,00 from sales tax funds to the school fund in both the 1953-54 and 1954-55 1954-55 fiscal years. The legislative council proposals are more moderate in their tax decrease. They advocate that all exemptions be placed at $600, which increases only the exemption exemp-tion for dependents. Equitable features of federal tax laws are Included, the present short form would be repealed, and the loss to the uniform school fund would also come out of sales tax surplus should the council plan be adopted. adopt-ed. Preliminary cloak room talk has not indicated which proposal is likely to get the legislative approval appro-val or whether a compromise can be hammered out. One thing, tho, appeared certain. The Republican majority (15-8 in te Senate and 39-21 in the House) are determined determin-ed to give the governor sotne sort of tax cuts. There were, however, some indications indi-cations which might possibly pres-sage pres-sage developments when the bills come up for consideration. One of these was that in the House, some 25 Republican legislators legis-lators placed their names on the bills favored by Gov. Lee. Among them were the majority floor leader, lead-er, Rep. Charles R. Peterson R-Provo) R-Provo) and the majority whip, Rep Clair Hopkins, (R-Vernal). Only 6 more representatives would have to be found to put the bill over. In the Senate, the division of those favoring one or the other rticts in Salt Lake, Weber and Utah counties. Up until now'-' each county has been one district, witn every citizen in the county voting for all the senators, seven in the case of Salt Lake and two in the case of other counties. With the counties broken up into in-to districts, with one senator from each district, a lot of the rural objections ob-jections would be alleviated and a better distribution of representation representa-tion offered the citizens of the 3 counties. Under the new plan, Salt Lake county would be cut from 19 to 15 members in the House of Representatives, Repre-sentatives, Cache, Box Elder, Carbon Car-bon and Sanpene would each lose one representative, and Davis county would" gain one. All other counties would remain unchanged. The 21-man Senate would be reached by a redisticting in the southern and eastern sections of the state. Dnuchesne county, now i.i a senatorial district with Uintah, Uin-tah, would be added to the district now composed to Rich, Morgan, Summit, Wasatch and Daggett. Daggett count, along with Uintah, Uin-tah, Emery, Grand and San Juan counties would make up a new district. Beaver county would be split away from Millard and added to Iron and Washington to form another an-other district. Millard is added to Sanpete, making last change. This leaves Cache, Box Elder, Davis and Carbon counties as single- county districts. Utah and Weber counties coun-ties will be split to form two districts dis-tricts and Salt Lake split into seven sev-en districts. Although there are apt to be several more reapportionment bills dropped into the hopper before the session ends, council members are j hopeful this bill will meet most of j the objections.
