Show Volume 5 SAUNA, UTAH, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1923 Local With the opening of the second week of the fifteenth legislature, Monday, function began with a perfected organization. Heretofore the measures that have been introduced in the legislature have av raged more than 500, a large num-b- i r of which never got any further than first reading, which carried them to a committee where they were alio .ed to lay until near the close of the se ' on, and then the sifting commit-twould side track them and the en-cause would be stricken, thus k "ig the, measure. While the usual flood of bills can b" cured into the legislative mill at tins session, the conservative ele-rsay that the measures will be bdd (own to the minimum and that hills will not be allowed to die in but will have to be disposed of within the time set by the rules w'm h compel the reporting of a bill v,1 n the committee has had it for days. This, it is believed, will prevent any vicious legislation being f w p. com-mittt- ' e, fif-t.- n enacted. The intention of the leaders in both houses is not to make a record, but to so steer the legislative ship that it v dl make the voyage across the sea in the time which is pro-- v led by law, sixty days, so that there veil he no turning back of the clock Vv:in the day of adjournment arrives. The change in the rules which was on the motion of Representative P m. broke and which prevents the in-t- 1 tdnrtion of hills after forty days of the session has passed with unanimous consent is expected to expedite LuUness and thus hasten the end of the session. After deciding not to make a trip to the Utah Agricultural College at Logan the lower house decided to send a committee of six, and then, after much oratory and debate, the house i considered the motion and decided to make the trip on Monday of the thi-week. To make up for the lost day, session was held Saturday, giving six full days for the weeks bus-i- n s? instead of the usual five. The invitation to visit the college inelu s not only the members, but also the officers and employes of the hous", and is at the expense of the Chamber of Commerce of Iigan. Attack against the public utilities commission found expression in the fen,' to in a resolution to the governor sinned by public officials and business non of St. George and Washington comity. Attorney General (fluff has several amendments which lie says are needed to strengthen the present laws, and will make their appearance soon in one of Hu chambers. Interesting and instructive talks were given the Senate Committee by Dr. John A. Widstoe and R. E. Caldwell, state engineer, on the Colorado River compact, which was presented as S. B. No. 4. Dr. Widstoe, who wa in attendance at nm-- t sessions of thr commission which drew the compact urged that Utah he the first of thi c p en basin states to express her rat iliration of the compact.

The local association was organized a little more than a year ago and druing its life has closed loans to the farmers within the more o ganization, totaling slightly tl an $94,900. It must be understood, though, that while the organization was effected about a year ago, that no loans were made until late last July' and the strides the association has been making has been most remarkable. Compared in population with other similar associations the growth has exceeded any other in the southern section. The association at a recent meeting elected officers to guide its destinies for the ensuing year, as follows: A. S. Crane, Salina, president; Martin Jensen, Redmond, June Webb, Salina, secretary-treasureThe president and together with S. M. JorAnderson and W. R. Oscar J. gensen, Johnson, constitute the board of directors. During the present year the association will be one of activity. There are a number of loans to come in and many' are now being considered and it is believed that by the end of 1923 the Salina assciation will be second to none in the state. dis-tii- vice-preside- r. vice-preside- com-sist- s o, Phila-lelph- Power ISSllLXtl Coup; J ? mens c mpensation in the state, nance men numbering seventy-fiv- e r,iit.d noon Governor Charles R.

As we have marketed a sufficient portion of our production of sugar at such prices as we feel justify it, we have concluded to make another payment of 75 cents per ton to the growers who contracted their beets on the Hiding scale basis. We are, therefore, enclosing our check on which is detailed your total deliveries of beets figured at 75 cents per ton, w'hich amount will apply on the subsequent payment provided in the sliding scale contracts.
