Show Thursday, March 18, 1954 THE SUN-ADVOCA- Page Five Initiative and Referendum Law Used Only Twite Since Adoption in 1917 Welfare Director Addresses Although Utah has had since an initiative and referendum law whereby the electorate can initiate or repeal legislation, it has been used only twice. The Carbon College and Weber College petitions which have been certified by the secretary of state will bring the law into force for the third time. History of the referendum and initiative law in this state is included in a chapter on the legislative branch of government in a volume compiled by the Utah Foundation, The Utah Constitution was amended in the 1900 election to permit the electorate to particibut the pate in amendment was not implemented with a statute until the 1917 session of the legislature. First use of the referendum provision was in 1942 when the electorate rejected a chain store tax law which the legislature had approved the previous session. The vote was 91,271 to 40,496. Next use of tne act was in 1952 when the initiative provisions were used to submit to the elec Sunnyside Kiwanis 1917 law-maki- ng torate a proposition to repeal the welfare lien law." The repealer was voted down and the law sustained by a vote of 155,645 to 10.-31- 9. The current petitions, which will make use of the referendum provisions, deal with junior college bills passed by the last special session of the legislature. In particular, the two issues which will appear on the November ballot will place before the electorate the question of whether it will uphold the legislature in withdrawing state aid and subsequently abolishing Carbon College and the other issue is whether or not to uphold the legislative action which will turn back to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- -day Saints the plants and operation of Weber College at Ogden, Snow' College at Ephraim and Dixie College at St. George.

So- Subsistence payments to a World War Two veteran taking GI Bill farm training may be discontinued if the veteran failed to send his Veterans Administration Regional Office a report of his 1953 earnings. These reports, required of the nations 50,000 World War Two GI Bill farm trainees, were due at the VA office no later than March 1, 1954. Failure to submit the reports by that deadline, VA warned, may result in discontinuance of GI subsistence payments until such time as the reports do reach VA. Trainees who failed to get the report forms, or who have misplaced them, may obtain the forms from their instructors. The earning reports, covering only income from productive labor for the calendar year 1953, serve a double purpose. First, they are used by VA as the basis for adjusting each veterans subsistence for the current year (1954). Second,' they are part of the veterans course of instruction in farm accounting, thus giving him the chance to put into practice what he has learned in the classroom. 'Meals liaste Bette since ive began Veterans will receive assistance from their instructors in closing their books for 1953, and in pre paring the reports. The report must Include any periods of time that the trainee may have been engaged in employment outside the farming ae tivity. These reports do not apply to Korean 4GI Bill trainees, since their monthly allowances are com' puted on a different basis.
