However, there are other laws, citing only those of public opinion and common sense which should be invoked by a thoughtful public in order that the likelihood of a tragedy involving local children might lessened. Investigation by State Highway Patrolman Ben Lingen-feltof a Davis county school bus at Bountiful operated by John I. Hatch January 21, disclosed the fact that the bus was overloaded by 38 per cent. Sixty-nin- e children were jammed into a bus designed to accommodate 50 of school buses constantly invites Such mishaps tragedy which may visit any home in Davis county unless proper steps are taken to correct the present situation which is little short of a menace. Will the laws of public opinion and common sense be invoked? er 1 over-crowdi- ng A Threat to Our State Highways A study of Senate Bill No. 22, introduced by Senator Caldcr, and appropriately termed the Gas Tax Diversion Bill would indicate that the measure was dictated by certain of the larger cities of the state who would build up themselves at the expense of the rural territories to which they owe so much of their business and development. The bill provides that the state treasurer shall place ten of the gas tax receipts in a special fund to be used cent per for the construction and improvement of any streets situated within the corporate limits of cities and towns. So many of the roads in Utah are undeveloped at the present that it would be a fallacy to turn this money from the purposes for which it was originally intended to the upbuilding of city streets, the care and upkeep of which are rightfully the obligations of the municipalities involved. The threat contained in the present bill is serious enough, but it is almost trifling when one thinks of the consequences which may evolve as a result thereof when other interests, encouraged if the present bill passes, may seek to divert the entire gasoline tax receipts from the purposes for which they are ngutiully intended.

Service) Although many measures proposed thus far in the tweny-fir- outUtah legislature have aroused taxation prospoken opposition the keenest In particular posals sounded against are alarms being the state compensation revision bill introduced in the lower house by Representative Stanley N. Child of Salt Lake county. Opponents, after more than a week of diligent delving into the many intricacies of the bill, have brought to light several phases that are causing owners of small industries and businesses the grocer, carpenter, plumber and contractor to view it as extremely dangerous to their interests. Even the homeowner is beginning to see it as a likely menace to everyday - "(U. st living conditions. Apparently, say those concerned, it will ba most hazardous under the proposed law to give employment to individuals or small business houses, suchas electricians, plumbers and carpenters even for minor improvements and alterations in residences. This would make it dangerous for the home-ownto deal with small employers in favor of the larger institutions who are definitely carriers of workmens compensation insurance. Opponents of the bill also point out tliat it will be extremely difficult for small business firms and individuals employing one or two persons to familiarize themselves with all the state laws and rules and regulations of the industrial commission. They say that failure to do so would probably result in an act of ommission and make them liable to injured employes for amounts greatly in excess of benefits provided in the act. the opponents argue, are vitally affected by that section of the proposed law that creates a lien and preference for compensation awards ahead of everything except taxes. Under this section the possibility of such a lien having preference over existing mortgages or outstanding bonds would make it very difficult to borrow money on real property. Awards on single compensation oc currences might exceed $25,000. Other sections objected to are those delegating authority to noncommission persons to inspect places of employment to determine health, safety and welfare conditions; the making of the industrial commission more than an adminis trative body, and that depriving the state cf tax revenue on compensation premiums amounting to about er The-homeow- ner, "mu r sentative Will R. Holmes of Box Elder county Suggested a compromise control plan tending to overcome objections of both the state stores and private licensing cohorts. Mr. Holmes, following the introduction of the undeleted committee of 49 liquor bill, proposed, after a conference with senate and house leaders anxious to avoid a liquor control deadlock, legislation calling for control by the state of wholesale distribution of hard liquors and licensing for private sales. It is. believed that it will provide a common ground for settlement of the liquor problem. Probabilities that little favorable cooperation would be forthcoming from Governor Henry II. Blood and the apparent desire of legislators to speed action on important measures aided in killing talk of a special liquor control session.
