Tentative approval of homestead and property tax exemptions in both houses. Putting the quietus on the proposal to bar governmental employment of persons whose spouses are painfully employed. These were highlights last week of front line action at the twenty-thirsession of the Utah state legislature, which on Monday began its day and Its third to last week of law making deliberations. Pressaging interesting action to come on measures of vital interest to the state as a whole was the introducd tion of several new bills. A old age assistance bill places payments on a need basis instead of the present $30 less income basis. Another senate measure proposes that school classes up to and Including the fifth grade be taught by radio. A house bill prohibits and stay-i- n strikes, limits picketing and use of labor boycotts. Other new bills of interest propose extension of the period in which a preceding year's motor vehicle license plates could be used to April 1; authorize an appropriation of $100,000 for Utah's 1947 centenary observation, nd create a production-for-us- e program similar to the "Epic" plan proposed in California. The lower house continued to sound n economy note when it refused to approve proposed salary increases for three state officials. It did, however, grant lesser raises to two. The house of representatives emphatically rejected the proposal to liberalize state liquor laws by permitting the sale by drink or hard liquors or even light wines. The legislators show ed plainly that sentiment is decldely against any further liberalizing and that unless there are drastic changes in present-daattitudes, the present law will remain In status quo for some time to come. The homestead exemption movement was encouraged by house action making the exemption' bill and lour allied revenue measures a special order of business for Friday. Allied measures which exemption supporters d forty-secon- d senate-introduce- sit-do- y '3 figure will compensate for loss of tax revenues if homesteads up to $2000 in value are not taxed include a bill transferring occupation tax revenues to the; state high school fund, another diverting $700,000 a year in liquor sales profits to the same fund, an other raising the mine occupation tax from one to two per cent on gross proceeds in excess of $1000,000 and a fourth increasing income taxes an; lowering exemptions. In the senate a bill to exempt home furnishings up to $300 in value from taxation was advanced to third reading without a dissenting vote. This is taken to mean final adoption of the measure in the upper house. Two meausures having to do with financing municipally owned utilities brought clashes in the senate last week. Supporters of S. B. 107 declared that S. B. 59 was written by of 'municipal power plants, while those favoring the latter charged that S. B. 107 was a private power company measure. The foity-firs- t day of the current session closed Saturday with 605 house and senate bills introduceel.

Ludlow in Housekeeping why Hositse Bill his Peace Amendment No. b'.i should be written !nto the Constitution. The amendment would take away from Congress the power to declare war and give it( over to the people for safekeeping. Under the set-u- p today the people have little to say about war except to die in it and pay for its cost. Why should the war power he transferred to the people? asks Congressman Ludlow. "Because the antidote for war is democracy," he answers. "Woodrow Wilson spoke as with the voice of inspiration when he said that he had heard of governments making war on governments, but never had he known of 'peoples making war on peoples.' When the war power ceases to be centralized and becomes democratized, when those who have to da the dying and the suffering and to bear the unspeakaoie burdens and griefs of war comprise the jury that is to decide the question, we shall begin to see the end of wars;." Congressman Ludlow warns further that members of Congress are subject to "a thousand different kinds of influence and pressure" that could not conceivably be brought to bear on the nation as a whole to force us into war. And these very same members of Con gress, he continues, are more or less under the domination of a single that individual being! whoever may be at any given time the President of the United States. Congressman Ludlow also finds It deplorable that women have so tittle, so pathetically little, to say bout war. In the present Congress, the 76th, only five members are women.

The senate has passed 12 measures which are yet to acted upon in the lower house. Representatives have passed a like number which are now in the senate for action. Governor Blood has vetoed one bill, fixing fees for justices of the peace for services in criminal cases. Three bills are on the house table. The senate last week passed a bill providing for the revocation of a driver's license and registration of any motorist who fails to satisfy a judg ment leturned as damages for person- - sy al injury or property restruction.

Altogether, the livestock population, excluding goats, adds up to 184,776,000 heads and is worth a sum equivalent to about of the national debt. The 66,821,000 heads of cattle and calves outnumber horses and colts six to one, while the latter outnumber mules and mule colts better than two to one. Sheep and lambs total 53,762,000, hogs 49,011,000. Mules are the most valuable, woith on the average $118 a head. Sheep and lambs, valued at $5.75 a head, are the least precious.

This being the Literary meeting, the English novel "The Talisman." by Sir Walter Scott, was most interestingly and completely reviewed by Phyllis Waldron. The special feature for the day was the program which was furnished by the children of the grammar grades, under the direction of Catherine Maughn. The first two numbers "Win ter" and "The Song of the Bells," were given by the girls chorus. This was followed by the boys singing a humorous Negro spiritual. The boys and girls mixed chorus then sang "When the Wind Blows." The chil dren were very well trained and sang nicely. Miss Rasmussen was at the piano. The efforts of the teacher and children were very much appreciated by all. The lesson on Social Service will be given next Tuesday with Mae Dalton as supervisor. An interesting and ed ucational meeting is expected.

The Literary lesson from the "Talis man," given by Viola Cowley, was ex ceptionally interesting.

Plato. th RETAIL NEWS -- - More persons make a living in retailing than in any other business, and when a court decision cn a retail question comes along it creates a great deal of ta!k and speculation on the part of both shopkeepers and theii customers. Such a wave of conversation is now sweeping the Eart folic wing the decision a few days ago by the N. J. Supreme Court recognizing the right of consumers in legislation which affects the market basket and tends to increase the cost of living. The court ruled as illegal taxes imposed on markets by seven N. J. municipalities. Attorneys and merchants view the decision as probably setting a precedent upon which courts in other states will act in settling similar cases, and in cases involving discriminatory taxes on chain stores. On the other hand, consumers and especially the women are taking note of the fact that from the time the taxes were enacted until they were ruled out by the court the brunt d of a public campaign was carried on by emthem against battled housewives, who, to oppose them, banded together to form Emergency Consumer Tax Councils in 326 communities.
