T legislative policy dormant is expected during the war years of to be revived by this session This policy the Utah Legislature. Is that cf junkets to the various state institutions where the lawmakers can see for themselves what is needed and what should be done in the way of legislation. The attitude of the legislators was expressed during the past week when they recessed both houses from Thursday afternoon until Monday afternoon, spendstate ing all da." Friday visiting was This institutions in Ogden. the first junket in four years. Two years ago the Senators and representatives toured the Geneva Steel plant and during the special session last August they inspected Bushnell General hospital at Brigham City. Other t'aan these trips, visits to state institutions since 1943 have been limited to the membership of committees only. Meanwhile, both houses have moved rather slowly and cautiously, with some senators expressing concern over the slow pace adopted in the upper house. It was pointed out during debate over whether or not to make the Ogden junket, that 173 measures, Including 149 bills and 24 memorials and resolutions, had been introduced in the first three of the session, weeks, and that only 17 measures had received action on the floor. Between 40 and 50 bills were on the second reading list. Legislation to pass both houses during the third week was headed by a bill by Senate Pres. Alon-z- o F. Hopkins to appro Ccn- to the Utah $861,500 priate tennial Commission. Only dissenting vote in the Senate was cast by Sen. Mitchell Melich who was turned down in an attempt to amend the bill so that the return on a $500,000 A one-thir- d h) revolving fund, included in the a appropriation, would go toDisfund. Board Water State senting votes cast in the House came from Reps. Keith Browne Lake), Merril K. Davis lt Lake) and S. Wayne Clark Of considerable Interest was the House vote on two senate bills to repeal the governor's emergency powers in regard to state finances and the emergency relief fund. The 21 Democrats demonstrated their power as a minority group by voting as a unit against one of the measures, consequently eliminating an emergency clause to make the act effective upon approval, which requires a majority, indicating that the House may not override the governor's veto should he so act on for things.

Dexter Farr and bills to allow banks to remain closed on Saturdays, measures strongly opposed by Sen. J. Francis Fowles (D Weber). In addition, the upper house passed and sent to the lower house measures to extend the retirement system for municipal employes to 2nd and third class cities and towns, and a bill permitting the state fish and game department to acquire additional game bird refuge In Box Elder county.

Labor leaders and their friends, including Gov. Herbert G. Maw, continue to insist that there is no logic in attempting to curb labor in view of the peace Utah has known. Sens. Warwick C. Lamoreaux Lake), H. Grant Vest and Rue L. Clegg lt Lake) and supporters of their bills insist, however .that now is the time to take steps against jurisdictional strikes, secondary boycotts and other practices they would outlaw with their bills.
