Regardless of the United States naval program, the Japanese program requires completion of the eight battleship and eight cruiser unit, said Vice Admiral Kato, minister of the navy, in responding on January 30 to an interpellation by Lieutenant General Ushara, chief of staff, as to Japans view of Senator Borah's resolution concerning a cessation of warship construction. v Japans naval construction plan, however, he safd, need not be carried ont with the United States as an imaginary enemy. He said Japan would adhere to a world curtailment of construction plans. He declared Japans naval program was inaugurated a decade ago and was born of imperative necessity. Even if completed, he said, a wide margin would remain between the naval strength of Japan and other powers. War Minister Tanaka said Japans forces hfcd been organized to insure the safety of her territorial rights. It as he declared, neither Russia nor China could now menace Japan. Ap y effective plan of defense, however, he added, must presuppose the necessity of operations beyond Japans " frontiers. , i The biennial appropriation bill, the measure which provides the funds on which the state of Utah must carry on the varied phases of its state government for the coming two years, reached the state legislature January 31. It was introduced in the senate by Joseph Quinney, Jr. The lawmakers are asked to appropriate the total sum Of $4,339,035.16. It is estimated that the revenues of the state in the next two years will be $4,120,000. If the legislature wishes to jay off the indebtedness of the state of Utah and to place it on a cash basis during the' coming biennium it will either have to cut the appropriation bill below the amount determined by the governor in the budget or it will have to increase the revenues of the state in some manner. The Utah senate completed the work before it In about forty-fiv- e minutes on January 31. Three new bills were placed on the calendar during the day. The governors budget was received In the house on Monday and given to the appropriations committee, but the chairman of this committee failed to introduce It during the period when introduction of bills was in order, so it had to go over until Tuesday. Seven new bills and one memorial were Introduced in the house on January 31, five of the new bills relating to the juvenile court, one to airplane landing fields and one an appropriation bill for relief for Abin&dl Olson, who was injured in a road construction camp and who eannot secure relief by court actfpn. The memorial provides for a request to congress to wi$ira, terUuWiri.u gia.c.f.g land ns such and open them to homestead entry. ( The reapportionment bill introduced by Senator Peters now has a chance of becoming a law. This measure is to again come before the senate. In the form in which the bill will reach the senate, it is proposed that the state senate of 1923 and thereafter shall consist of twenty members, in- stead of the present eighteen, and the house of fifty-fiv- e representatives, Instead of the present forty-seveAt the close of the twenty-firs- t day of the present session there had been bills presented in the senate fifty-on- e and six resolutions or memorials, makmeasures to ing a total of fifty-seve- n be presented by senate members or committees. The house had sent oer In the three weeks of the session nineteen bills and four resolutions, 'which brought the total number of measures to be formally before the senate up to eighty. While the house had passed twenty-on- e house bills and three house resolutions, it had also passed three senate bills and two senate resolutions, or a measures in all. total of twenty-nin- e The senate had, in the same three weeks, passed a total of six senate bills and four senate resolutions, but treated house measures about as well as those introduced in the senate, having returned to the house seven bills and two resolutions. There is at least one member of the Utah legislature who believes the lawmaker is worthy of his hire. Senator Dem on January 28 introduced a proposed constitutional amendment raising the wage of the legislators from $4 to $8 per day, or just double their present salary. The amendment would not, if it were ratified by the people in November, 1922, affect the salaries received, by any of the present members of the legislature for the terms for which they were elected. Perhaps the feature of the senate session of January 28 was the unanimous decision to send back to the senate agricultural committee House bill No. 13, by Day, which provides that the state board of health shall be the state dairy and food bureau, and that the state health commissioner shall be state dairy and food commissioner. Senator Rufus Adams of Layton says that the cost of living Is coming down, and for that reason he believes that the state bank examiner can manage to get along now on $3000 a year. He introduced a bill in tlie senate to fix the salary of tlie offUe at $3000 a year instead of $3600. The bill of Representative Thorne, fo authorize the state engineer to designate roads for the movement of In to and from ynter ranges was defeated. n. , 1 |
