U t a hs approach to dispensing liquor worked reasonably well until recent years and can be made to function well again with some able assistance from the Legislature, he said. Unlike the proposal now being petitioned for, whose language is frozen, the opponents of that proposal are not bound by any specific proposal, Mr. Van Winkle said. Severl different bills may be proposed, and all of them could be debated and altered any number of times before the Legislature votes on them, he middle-of-the-ro- k said. He pointed out that the prolaw posed cannot bf altered before going Monday, an examination showed. You cant imagine the hectic week weve spent over this, Mrs. Haines said this morning.

Mr. Van Winkle said his organization recognizes that pres-sen- t liquor laws are Inadequate, we are convinced that but Utah Can have an adequate and enforceable liquor control law without going to the extreme of liquor by the drink, and there are good reasons for taking this stand. Among other things, he said, is that liquor by the drink could be tremendously costly. Replying to Mr. Van Winkle, Gerald Cannon, a member of the committee sponsoring the petition, said it is indeed true that their proposal cannot be altered before going on the ballot. However, he said, it could be amended by the Legislature course, missing a front teeth. $213. By CLARENCE BARKER S. Deseret News Staff Writer collections tax for the last quarter showed a 7 per cent increase over Sales last year, Gov. Calvin L. Rampton reported today. He said the quarterly collection shows a remarkable strength, considering the fact the state is just beginning to recover from the Kenneoott copper strike. For the last nine months, sales tax collections are 4.3 per cent ahead of the previous year, which is only 1.7 per cent below the pre-strik- e and, of estimate, according to Herbert couple of F.

Meanwhile, Salt Lake County Clerk Sterling W. Evans reported that 37 petitions containing about 125 signatures each had been processed as of Monday evening and sent to the secretary of state.

On March 1, 1968, I remarried, and my pension stopped. But my husband left the day after we were married and I am having the marriage annulled. Ilow can I reapply for my pension? I understand I can get it hack if the marriage is annuled. Is this so? How long will it take? Will I receive the back payments? I have nothing to live on, so would appreciate any information you can give me. Mrs. M.N., Salt Lake City. Reapply to Veterans Administration, 125 S. State St., Salt Lake City, and include a copy of the court order of the annulment. If VA rules you are eligible, your payments would be resumed as of the date of the annulment, but you would receive no payments for that period from the date of your marriage to the date of the annulment. VA makes a careful investigation of circumstances before restoring benefits, because sometimes applications for annulments have been made simply to have pension benefits restored. Too Many Light Poles We have a corner lot and a sidewalk is being inttallcd. While we were out of town, the light poles were moved and now we have two on onr corner. Cant something be done to have at least one moved? H.J.M., Salt Lake City. Case of the second pole being needed, too. Comer was cut back, and it now takes two poles to do the work originally done by one. Lots of similar situations around. Only Fair To Charge Deposit We cannot get a telephone installed unless we put up a deposit. We have had a bad time financially, so we turned all our bills over to an attorney, rather than go into bankruptcy. We need the telephone badly and feel we are being discriminated against. Mrs. C.T., Tooele. $50 Individual paying habits of past customers often indicate a need to collect a guarantee deposit to insure payment of the bill. It took approximately a year lor the telephone company to collect money you owed them from a previous bill after you moved, so the company felt justified in establishing the deposit to protect itself from possible future loss. The company also requires a deposit if it has no record of a customers financial status. These policies may seem difficult to the person who has to pay the deposit to get service, but it is the only fair thing to do. The customer who pays his bills promptly should not have to subsidize the person who is slow or who does not pay at all.
