Show UTAH ROUIiOUP LEGISLATIVE suKday closing law gains approval Clyde. Mandatory Sunday closing has been an object of discussion for many years. A bill similar to the one passed this week has been introduced in successive sessions. Due to one reason or another, however, the bill has never become a law. This year, pared down to exempt many types of business establishments from its provisions, the law is almost a reality. Introduced toy two Democrats and one 'Republican,. Sens. Alonzo t Hopkin Frank and Reed Browning Bullen the bill passed the senate by a vote of 16-- 9. In the House Thursday, where debates were carried on most of the day, the final vote was 42-2- 2. A holding motion to recall the bill for another vote Monday has little chance of upsetting its present status after the decisive '2 House vote. Items specifically mentioned as bring affected by the measure are the sale of uncooked meats, groceries, clothing, boots, or shoes. Dancing, or the sale, serving or dispensing of alcohol, other than beer, is also prohibited. An amendment in the House to include ibeer in items prohibited from being sold on Sunday was defeated in a close vote, and the measure was passed exactly as it came from the Senate. Tax Refund With four dissenting only votes, the Senate Tuesday voted in favor of a legislative veteran. The gasoline tax refund for farmers, which has been considered toy a number of legislative sessions, went on to the House for further action. Senators advocating the passage of the proposal argued that it was an unfair tax since gas-ta- x funds were used primarily and for highway construction maintenance. Those who opposed stated that their stand was based on the belief that if farmers - 42-i2- IN LOVE?

After passage by the Senate Monday, and then by the House Thursday afternoon, the authority to accept or reject the ibill as a law lies now with Gov. George D. were granted the tax relief, so users should other be granted relief. Eight WUs pertaining to the management of fishing and hunting in Utah were voted on in the Senate this week. All but one of the measures that which would create a minimum fine of $25 for re fish and game violations ceived favorable action. The hills would strengthen trespass laws, regulate color of hunting clothing, enable the Fish and Game Department to enter into reciprocal hunting and fishing agreements with surrounding states, and provide licensing for fishermen between the ages of 12 and 16 years. Bigger Sales Tax Senate President Sherman P. Lloyd this week relinquished his chair to argue merits of bills pertaining to city government from the floor. (Probably most important, at least to residents outside the metropolitan area, was a proposal to allow counties and municipalities in those coun ties, to levy an additional 1 per cent sales tax, one-ha- lf of which could be used in the area where collected. on the proposal Discussion brought a good deal of comment from other Senators, but the issue ' appeared to be gaining support SCHOOL NEWS FROM THURSDAY, FEB.
