Show "MORE HOMES FOR MORE PEOPLE IN TREMONTON" BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER NUMBER TREMONTON CITY, UTAH, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1935 'OLUME X FRED MAX KLOERIG Hinder !!i igpig LEGISLATURE IS MAKING MUCH VISIBLE PROGRESS Elder Legislators Vote Differently Enacted Measures ing for inspection of gasoline used for motor fuel. Bills to be considered soon in the upper house are the income and corporation franchise tax increase, tobacco products tax, underground mine work, and the advertising dentist measures. Measures passed or adopted in the house were: S. B. 8, clarifying the law with reference to the time in which a creditor may file an action in court; H. B. 3, enabling county commissioners to lease for cash or goods lands acquired through auditors' tax deeds; H. B. 11, increasing by one mill the annual tax levy of cities for contingent expenses and providing for four additional civic administration tax levies; H. B. 17, increasing legal container weights for small fruits; H. B. 22 and H. B. 23, regulating and licensing trading stamps to the point of practically putting them out of business; H. B. 26, providing for statements of ingredients in commercial feedstuff s; S. J. R. 1, the child labor resolution; H. C. M. 1, memorializing congress to establish a Navajo national park in San Juan county, and H. C. M. 2, doing the same for a national park in Wayne county. Early action is expected in the house on the Stevens bill enabling the fish and game commission to borrow money from the state land board, the bill limiting power of the governor in calling out the militia in case of labor troubles, and the bill establishing a legislature in Utah. Senator Albert E. Holmgren of Bear River City voted no on the bill diverting 10 per cent of gasoline tax monies to city streets and yes on all other measures acted on in the sen- (By U. S. P. A. Service) With three weeks of lawmaking work behind them, members of the twenty-firUtah Legislature are now engaged in proposed enactment into statutes of approximately 230 already introduced measures. Checking up on tangible results of their activities for the first 15 work days of the session, the legislators found that visible progress if not statistical had been made in the consideration of the three subjects of e greatest interest to the liquor, taxation and social relations. The current week is expected to show much more in the way of actual accomplishment results as measured in finished business. Concrete lawmaking matters ac tually closed was represented in the final passage and adoption by both house and senate since the session opened of three bills and one senate joint resolution, and the killing by the senate of one bill. Two house concurrent resolutions were also jointly adopted one offering condolences to a bereaved fellow legislator and the other congratulating President Roosevelt on his birthday. Five bills were withdrawn. The most tax action was seen in the adoption by the upper house unanimously of a joint resolution paving the way for exemption from taxation of homesteads up to $2000 in value. Ten new tax bills were introduced. Most important of these is the administration bill increasing individual income taxes. It substitutes for S. B. 2, the only material change being in the setting up of a system of deductions against taxes paid. Tax rates remain the same. Exemptions are greater. Liquor control had its innings in public hearings during which both state control and private licensing system were strongly advocated. A plan to hold public joint sessions this week will undoubtedly be carried out. The Holmes compromises providing for state control of wholesale distribution through state warehouses and retail sales under a local government licenses is viewed favorably in many quarters. Social relations-we- re in the forefront with the adoption by the house after an initial defeat of the resolution providing for ratification by Utah of the - proposed child labor amendment to the federal constitution. The second reconsideration vote was 32 to 28. The senate having previously adopted the resolution by a 19 to 4 vote, Utah becomes the twenty-secon- d state to ratify. Passage by the senate of the Bamberger traffic safety bill was a legislative high spot last week. It increases the state auto speed limit to 50 miles per hour; makes it legal to turn right against a red light at intersections; restores the old three-wa- y arm and hand signals; makes drivers liable to 299 days imprisonment; holds drivers of livestock on roads liable in case of accident, and limits overall length of trucks to 35 feet and height of load to 12J feet. Measures acted on in the senate last week were: S. B. 28, enabling the state fish and game commission to borrow money from the state land board for public works projects; S. H. 18, permitting the federal government to buy lands for flood and erosion control; S. B. 15, the traffic safety bill, and S. J. R. 2, the homestead tax exemption resolution. S. B. 22, diverting 10 per cent of the state gasoline tak funds to city streets, was defeated by a 6 to 15 vote. Rural commun'ties and small cities and towns opp'od it. eemed certain to pass In Measure is week include a measthe senate ure fixing specifications and provid st public-at-larg- far-reachi- one-hou- The Box Elder county senator supported the homestead tax exemption resolution, declaring it to be the only safe way of reducing taxes on tangible property. He favored postponing action on the gas tax diversion bill for perhaps 10 years, when state highways might be completed and thought be given to street construction. He fought against use of automobile spotlights as "death traps" and opposed raising the speed limit from the present 45 miles per hour. Representative Will R. Holmes of Brigham City stepped into the legislative spotlight in no uncertain manner last week through his advocation of a compromise liquor control bill and by changing his vote from no to yes on the child labor resolution. His was one of the two changed votes on reconsideration that made it possible for the adoption of the resolution. In explaining his change in sentiment Mr. Holmes declared investigation had proved to him that eastern states needed the assistance of Utah in abolishing child labor in sweatshops. The compromise amendments to the liquor bills offered by Mr. Holmes may serve to solve the problem and bring state stores and retail dispensing advocates together in the enactment of a liquor control bill satisfactory to all opposing elements. Most of the Holmes amendments are said to have won approval of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce bill adherents. Mr. Holmes voted yes on all other house legislation enacted during the past week except H. B. 3 and H. B. 26. He was absent and not voting on these measures. Representative E. H. Cornwall of Tremonton voted no twice on the child labor amendment and yes on all other house enacted measures except S. B. 8 and H. B. 3. He was absent and not voting on H. B. 3. Mr. Holmes introduced a bill allowing a grace period in shutting off water for failure to pay costs, but leaving it to cities and towns to do so for cause.
