Show i t J A A s lv v Volume 5 fvVVA V (Py ' LKV v K No. 38 SAUNA, UTAH, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1923 Salina Commercial Club Sow, Whafs the Delay t Plans Year Activities the fifteenth legislature When reached the halfway point of its labors Tuesday there had been introduced in the house a total of 101 bills and three resolutions Wd memorials.. Compared with the work of the fourteentn legislature, the volume of measures is not so large. On the thirtieth day of the preceding session 113 bills had been presented in the lower house and sixteen resolutions and memorials had received attention. There 'remain only ten days more for the offering of bills, and it is anticipated that there will be a heavy increase in the daily introductions from now on. Representative Stookey of Tooele county submitted his first measure. It is bill No. 98 and extends the responsibilities of railroads in the fencing off of lands contiguous to railway The present statute requires the fencing of right of ways and crossings through private lands. Mr. lines. only Stookeys bill, amending section 1253, laws of 1917, would require the building of fences along railroad tracks, whether through private or public lands, when commissioners of any county may deem it necessary for the public good. Furthermore, when culverts or other openings pass under tracks and are large enough to permit the passage of livestock the openings are not to be fenced off, but the fence is to be built up to and over the culvert or opening. The house banking committee proposes to make building and loan associations subject to the power of the state bank commissioner, in the approval of articles of incorporation of such organizations. The committee, to attain this object, has introduced bill No. 100, which amends section 1105, laws of 1917, and adds section 1100X, relating to the organization and supervision of building and loan associations. The bank examiner shall have power to call for special reports from the associations, domestic or foreign, whenever he believes it necessary. In the event incorporators feel themselves aggrieved by any decision of the bank commission, they may appeal the decision to the board of examiners, the decision of which shall be final. Expressions of delight at the entertainment afforded them at Cedar City were heard on all sides among the committees from the house and the senate which visited that city and the Branch Agricultural college maintained by the state there. As to the main purpose of the trip, it appeared that the committee .is decided that the college is rendering a service well worth while to the state, and that it should be continued, with the policy being kept in mind that it should gradually cease preparatory or high school work and become more and more, during the next few years, a junior college, giving perhaps the equivalent of the freshman and sophomore collegiate courses. move toward lessening Another taxes took place in the house of representatives when the bill prepared by the senate committee on agriculture The bill proposes to was indorsed. eliminate tax payments on feeder livestock. A similar measure was originally prepared by Senator Candland and the one passed yesterday was a Its principal object is to substitute. encourage the feeding of sheep and cattle in the state. Consumption of Utahs surplus hay and other stock foods will be increased because of the advantages vouchsafed by the measure, according to its supporters. Lacking a constitutional majority by two votes, the Hollenbeck measure repealing the act and the laws governing the public utilities commission, was killed in the lower house of the legisvotes lature. There were twenty-si- x cast in favor of the measure and a similar number against it. Three members of the house were absent during the roll call. The death of the bill, which was No. 36, does not by any means end present session legislation In which the commission is concerned. Debate preceding the voting was practically a repetition of the arguments already presented in the house and before the judiciary committee in public hearings. While ardent opposition against the repeal of the utilities act was offered, it was apparent that the prevailing sentiment of the house is not in harmony with the commission and the laws governing it, and that changes in the statutes and limination of the powers of the board are desired. With few exceptions, opponents of the Hollenbeck bill declarde their disapproval of the prerogatives of the board and indicated their willingness to indorse certain changes. Representative Callister, chairman judiciary committee, said that the committee had spent ten days the repeal bill. Mr. Callister of the con-lideri- (Continued on page five) Salina opera lovers greeted the operetta, Polished Pebbles, given last Saturday night by the pupils of the eigth grade school of Salina. The operetta was under the supervision of Glenn Hansen, musical director of the Salina schools. Not alone did the pupils of the eight grade present the play but they did clever work when they painted the scenery used in the stage settings. The chorus, which sang of churning, hoeng, milking, and sewing, was composed of sunbonnet girls and overall boys. This group especially pleased the large number of spectators present. Although the voices of the soloists were small, the leads showed careful training in their singing dancing and acting. Pearl Jensen, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C Jensen, and Allen Barnard, the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Barnard, were the comedians of the operetta, and were unusually free from natural for amateurs.

Mr. Mattssons death was very sudden and he apparently was in splendid health. He was about the home when suddenly he was stricken and before medical aid could be sumhe died. Mr. Mattsson, a convert to the L. D. S. church, was born November 15, 1843, in Upland, Sweden. He emigrat. ed to Utah in 1880. For a period of six weeks he resided in Gunnison, .after which he ,and his family moved to Salina, where they have since remoned sided.

MARRIED AT RICHFIELD May Miller and Gary Bates, both well known in Salina, gave their friends a surprise when they went to Richfield last Monday and were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Only the most intimate friends were advised of the program and when the announcement was made public the bride and groom were showered with congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. Gates will make their home in Salina for the present. PATRIOTIC PROGRAM The Ladies Literary club has planned a patriotic program which will be given to commemorate the anniversary of George Washington.

With much enthusiasm and interest in the several projects that are to be sponsored by the local club and with the possibility of more than doubling the membership the organization launches out with brighter prospects than ever be- In the selection of officers, which will serve for the ensueing year, the following were named: President, Dr. F. O. Max Cohen; Bullock; secretary, A. J. Lewis; treas. urer, Max Cohen. H. B.. Crandall acted as chairman of the meeting and in a short address urged the business men to get squarely back of the club and Salina and implied that cooperation should be first in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the city. n The Pikes Peak and the in Salina highway, paving road between Salina and Redmond and the matter of asking aid for the building of housing quarters at the summit of the transcontinental highway just east of Salina, were among the important matters that were discussed and that will be taken up by the Commercial club. The members of the club declared themselves solidly back of the county commissioners in the paving projects for Sevier county and all declared themselves as eager to work for the paving through the city. The practicability of having a cabin, supplied with food and. bedding and other comforts, erected at the summit, will be another important matter that will be worked on. It has been estimated that the house and other necessary conveniences for the comfort of the travelers can be established at a small cost and to further this end outside aid will be solicited. The trail coming into Salina from the east is the only one open during the winter months and has been proving a big boon to winter travelers going to the coast. The extreme severe storms, however, have caused some delay to travelers, but generally speaking very little trouble has been experienced. If the comforts can be provided and should an unexpected severe storm occur and block the traffic for a brief time, the house will prevent suffering. A membership drive la now being staged and every business man and Salina booster is being asked to join the club. The membership committee reports encouraging results. . A weekly luncheon is being advocated and is beng met with favor. It is proposed to have the luncheons and at the gatherings important matters will be discussed. The regular meeting of the club will be held monthly, the first Thursday of the month having been designated. The membership fee, which heretofore has been $2 50 has been raised to $3.50. t |
