Show THE LEADER. Lost Time UNDER The CAPITOL DOME at Thte Rate? d J be an increase in the supplemental school aid allocation first passed in 1951. Or unless there could be a special session to take up school problems. There does not appear to be much hope right now for a special session. For one thing, the governor has made it clear that he has made no committments to call such a session, even though he has considered such an action. The second, and probably the most potent reason now indicated to forestall a special session, is the apparent breach between the governor and his Republican dominated legislature over money matters. The Legislative Council, for which the governor has high regard, is studying the school problem. It is nearly certain the council will recommend a special session to implement most, if not all, of the 25 legislative suggestions contained in the re public school port of the survey commission But whether or not the governor will call such a session still remains to be seen. The school survey commission has recommended that more state aid be given the schools. Here again, the governor differs fundamentally with the theory of the commission. It is the Lee philosophy that aid to schools must come from the local level. Getting back to taxes, the governor backed up his income tax reduction with vetoes of twin measures which would have added a one cent per gallon tax to both gasoline and special fuels, with the proceeds going to aid the state highway system. The governor's reasoning in turning thumbs down on this pair of bills was that he could not consistently, act to approve tax cuts in one field and back tax increases in another. The Lee veto so far has stood unchallenged. This in the fact of near unanimous passage in! both houses of the bills original-- ; ly.

J. Bracken Lee still sticking by his economy but with his Repubprogram lican legislature seemingly no more economy-mindethan their Democratic predecessors. The Governor got through his tax cuts promised in his camAnd, by paign for means of vetoes and threat of veto, he has managed to keep state expenditures down to a point where some of the savings may still go to the taxpayers. Also successful were the chief executive's efforts to steer away from a state property tax levy for school purposes. This was accomplished by transfer of funds from sales tax revenue to make up the missing iunas. lo make up the deficit, the governor had to call on all of his carefully nurtured surplusses from his previous four years on Capitol hill. The governor's success in this maneuver is apparent when one considers the fact that no bill passed this session to up the minimum school program which would necessitate a state levy. And, on the subject of schools, it became apparent as the legislature came into its closing week there would be hope for help to Thursday, March 12, 1953 Tremonlon, Utah attached vetoes to six bills, and on only one Sunday closing has his action been contested. The Senate upheld this veto, and the House, where all the bills originated, have not tried to match strength with the gover-no- t again. It is just as likely that any future vetoes will be upheld. The governor has had long talks with GOP members of both the House and Senate during the closing days of last week, and now says he is closer to accord with the legislature than at any time during the session. But there are some bills which stand in dire danger of veto. One is the record $61,500,000 appropriations bill, which includes $20,000,000 in expenditure from the general fund. A pair of others are, the educational television bill, including of $250,000 an appropriation above the big budget bill, and a proposal to give the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers a parking lot, to the tune of $100,000. Then there is the hospital for alcoholics, with a $5,000 appropriation on top of $50,000 already allocated. The hospital and parking lot bills passed the Senate, and the television proposal received a House okeh. The Legislature also disappointed the governor with a bill to up salaries of all elective officials, including city and county officers. Part of this program the governor approves the idea of raising pay of state commissioners. But he is against the proposition to hike wages of elective state officers. The trouble is, the two types of salary hikes are tied into one bill, and to veto the measure would be to assure commissioners no pay raise. No matter what the events of the closing few days of this session 1953 Legislature will be marked as the one which cut income taxes. And unless the governor loses complete control of the it will be also legislators marked as a legislature which practiced to a goodly measure the economy preached by the chief executive. But that will mainlv be be cause Gov. Lee is not a man to back down even to Repub lican legislators who haven't economy in mind. 1 Published by the CSUS ! 1 M if I I I 1 nit !
