Show t THE SAUNA SUN, SAUNA, UTAH Scenes and Persons in the Current News THE UTAH LEGISLATURE Sally Sez Intermountain News Briefly Told for Busy Readers A salt-- tax law introduced in the senate of the Utah legislature is planned ns a major effort in securing funds to aid the unemployed of Utah. The hill provides that ; From and after May 31, 1933, there is hereby levied a tax on every retail sale made within thp state equivalent to 2 per cent of the purchase price paid ; or, in case of retail sales involving the exchange of property, equivalent to 2 per cent of the consideration, Including the fair market value of Die property exchange at Die time and place of . the exchange.. ' Boxing, wrestling, and theatrical performances would be taxi'd; the malt syrup, telephones, electricity and gas are favored with a mention In this hill. . The measure provides that the term sale includes instalment and . credit sales, and the exchange of properties as well ns their sale for to 'money ; every closed transaction ' constitute a sale. Also, . every purchase of tangitde personal property or service, or product, made by a person for his personal use, or profit, shall be deemed a retail sale. The title of the bill is The Unemployment- and Tang-- . Ible Property Belief Act of 1933. 'The bill'- requires retailer and proprietors of places of amusement and entertainment to. take out ad annual license. . . . The price of the license is $2 per calendar year. If the state tax commission; which has the ariinini.stra: tion of the tux features of Die act, "so determines, It may revoke the .. cense of any person violating- - any provision of the act, and in such case no license can lie issued to t he violator for two years thereafter. Persons who engage in business without a license are subject to a ' fine of $20 to $299, and to. imprisonment up to six months for each offense. Persons selling only commodities exempt from taxation tm- der the act are not required to take out any license. The vendor of taxable commodities or service must collect the tax from the consumer and make returns to the sfanrtax commission by the fifteenth of t he following month. The tax commission has the op- tion of using the stamp tax method of collecting the tax, such ns is now used In connection with the cigaret sales tax law. It is mu Re .unluwful for any denier to advertise that lie will absorb the tax, or uny. part of It. ' Returns to Ahe tax commission are to tie kept secret, except in case of court actions involving the facts , shown in the reixirt. Money collected by the sate from this tax is to be retained by the state treasurer in an emergency relief fund. The house voted down a resolu-- . tion for submitting prohibition repeal to the v.oters of Utah. Budget Control and the code revision have been accomplished. A law allowing the governor to order bank holidays and also moratorium on auto license fees was dashed through the legislature. A move to alter the Utah income tax law is believed to be a dead issue mid tlie idea of changing the banking laws of the state is making little progress. The house lias, voted in favor of an law, sought by organized labor ; it lias considered the states incursion into the power business, as represented by the plant in I'.ogan canyon, nnd it has decided to add the Iixie college to the institutions of Utah ns a junior college. The lower house has decided to reduce interest rates on delinquent taxes and has made a slash at loan sharks. Both the house and senate approved a measure to confer on (iov. Blood the highest powers ever conferred on a Utah state executive. .Through the adoption of House Bills 197 and 290, the governor is virtually dictator of the state finances with authority to suspend appropriations made by the legislature, or to close any state department or institution for 90 days or more should an emergency arise. The plan is to permit the governor to provide emergency relief for residents of the state. lie may adopt and enforce sueli regulations as he shall deem expedient or necessary for the administration of emergency relief and is empowered to do all things reasonable and necessary to carry out the purposes of the act for the prevention of suffering and sickness among destitute residents of the state. Bills introduced in the house are to provide for greater safety in motor traffic. The hills require that a private car driver must secure a license costing 2. cents, which will lie good for three years. Persons suffering from certain physical or mental disabilities, are barred from talcing out a license, and heavy penalties nre provided for infractions of the safety motor code as provided in the hills. Motorists must have the license certificate with them at all times. The criminal code revision as approved, is based on the Wickershnin commission recommendations and Is believed to offer less possibility of thugs escaping punishment thru legal technicalities. - II-- AID AUTO OWNERS BEET CROP INCREASE PROTECT DEPOSITORS STATE LINE UNCHANGED OREGON TRAIL IMPROVED SALT LAKE CITY, UT.
