Many large delegations pledged by eastern cities tortlte be conducted in Salt Lake next June. lldvifijliad it! men: tn the military service of the United States, Mt. Pleas'- Another Effort Being Made by Salt Lake Representative to Secure an ; Increase in Salary of Member - 1 of the Legislature. tn Salt Lake City. A large grist of legislation was turned out on February 25, the most important measure to pass the housfe being the Dern inheritance tax bill, which has now passed both houses and which will, therefore go to the go ernor for his consideration-. The bill was only slightly amended, the general provisions regarding the amounts of the inheritance taxes to be collected on estates remaining the same as approved by the upper house. The ax descended with, a resounding blow upon Representative Cardons resolution asking congress to return the railroads to private ownership. Even the Republican-member- s of the bouse voted down this resolution, the author being the only one to register in its favor. An insurance , measure , by J. W. Knight, providing for reciprocal insurance- contracts between individuals, was passed, but before passing it the house eliminated a workingmens compensation feature that the senate had approved. The Dern Bill, elating to farm loans, was passed in the house, but the measure by the same senator, an extension of time on payments for state lands, was killed for the second time after having been recalled .when, it was last rejected. T'be bouse refused to approve of the submission of a constitutional amendment cutting ilowti the municipal b.ond-- ; ' f , Ing limit. ( The, iouse is working down its long calendar rapidly, and promises to be standing by for the senate when the final days are reached, g ,v 1 Salt Lake City. Two measures of importance were introduced in; the lower house of the legislature on February 24, House bill No. 142, by Representative I. H. Masters of Provo, proposed an ineoAie tax' on all earnings pf individuals and corporations in the state on a graduated scale. ; The bill is ' largely a' reproduction, the now in force author stated, of the-on- e in Wisconsin. He estimates that the measure, if enacted, Will raise a revenue of $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 an. , nually ', y The other measure was a joint resolution by Representative F. E. Morris of Salt .Lake, calling upon the people to vote an increase in the salaries of members of the legislature.' This will be submitted1' as a' constitutional amendment' tit th'e next general election if the legislature passes the restriction. It permits the legislature' to fix the' salaries of its members, but' provides that the salary of a member must not exceed $G00 for a sixty-da- y session. The 'present compensation is only $250 s for ,d, sixty-day- . f session. The Utah'; stilte senate spent' the greater fait hr the afterhoon on February 21' on workmens compensation questions, but liad not at the close Of the afternoon decided a single one of the several big questions that are involved in the bills now before That body. The main part of the afternoon wasspenj in' fconsidering arguments pro and eon i or a proposal to make the state .insurance fund i exclusive," as one side calls it, or 'monopolistic," as " it Is known to the other side. 4 I . f Assessment - t of metalliferous .mines not to exceed three times their net proceeds was the verdict of a majority of the senate at the conclusion, on February 21, of the third days battle over the mine taxation measures before the upper house ' of the'legislature. e Establishment of part-timschools for the benefit of children who nave not 'completed high school and who leave school before they are 18 years of age is provided for in house bill No. 4:1, which was passed In the lower house of the legislature on February 21.

The president said he would return to Paris immediately after March 4, and was positive that he would not call an extraordinary session of congress until he returns, Senator Martin He did not state the date of said. his return, nor did he authorize me to quote him in respect to that point, but my personal opinion and judgment is that there is no reasonable expectation of his being back prior to June ' ' 1. Senator Martin was accompanied trt the White House by Senator Simmons of, North Carolina, chairman bf the finance committee. They conferred for nearly an hour with the executive, discussing in detail the congestion of legislation in congress.
