They can do nothing. They can revise practically everything about stale government. Or, they can take care of most of the pressing problems and not change present statutes too much. The recently completed 31st catethe in latter fits legislature - i Ik gory. passed the large total of measures, most of which have or will become law.

Trends come and go in Utah pol- iticsbut the one thing you can bank on is that the most of the whether Republicans or people Democrats, seem to prefer public servants with a solid, "middle of the road" program. Every legislature comes up with its share of "liberals" and "reactionaries" overworked words used to describe most politicians. The rest are "conservatives." Evnr legislature a little "lib eral" legislation gets through as well as "reactionary" legislation. But the big bulk of it, particularly the best legislation of recent years, has come as the result of some healthy, middle of the road compromises. A good many of these compromises come through the work of the Utah Legislative Council. It doesn't seem to matter who does the appointing to this group, the men appointed are, for the most slow part, earnest, to excite men given to careful pondering of facts before reaching dehard-workin- cisions. proved calf aUrUr.

They underline the importance of the hatchery program for future fishing in the face of these pressures. Survey data already compiled will make possible a more realistic stocking program in the future. This will result in greater economy and an improved fishing potential. INC Thirteen persons have had fishing andor hunting license privileges revoked during the past year by the Utah Fish and Game Commission. The revocations were made under two laws passed by Utah's legislators in 1953. One requires the commission to revoke hunting privileges for five years of anyone "negligently killing or wounding another preson during a hunting season." The other calls for a two year loss of hunting and fishing privileges for anyone who "persistently or flagrantly and knowingly violates the fish and game laws." To date 11 persons have lost all hunting license privileges for five years because of involvement in hunting accidents. Two were juveniles. Six of these accidents resulted in the death of another person. Two individuals have lost hunting and fishing rights for two years because of the above noted offense. Commission Chairman K. E. Bul Resident children under 12 years of age may possess only four fish or three pounds of game fish. This regulation is new for the 1955 angling season in Utah. This law is effective Apr. 16. Commission action in setting this ruling was taken to give a more equitable distribution of game fish to all anglers, according to Department of Fish and Game spokesmen. Resident children must be 12 years of age before being eligible to purchase and use an angling license. Through age 11 they may angle without a license but may possess only the above reduced limit as set for the 1955 season. Non-reside- i stoui: Sandy i:i:n ron 9353 So.
