His budget message will be received the following week. Key Rule Changes In Major rule changes may be in the offing in the State House of Representatives as a result of events during and since the Legislature was in session about a year ago. Speaker Richard C. Howe, and Minority Floor Leader Lorin N. Pace, Lake, said they have agreed that more restraints must be placed on lobbying. These activities reportedly grew so flagrant during the last session that lobbyists actually were going up and down the aisles telling representatives how to vote, according to Pace. They acted like they owned the place. Howe said he knew of instances where they stood in lt Utah House ble doorway of the chamber and signalled to legislators. The thinking of the two leaders is that lobbyists should be kept out of the chamber (except when called in to testify) and also out of the hallways where they have sometimes lurked and buttonholed lawmakers as they headed for the washrooms. The speaker suggested that pehaps a room with desks and telephone could be provided We dont want for lobbyists. to crimp their legitimate he added. activities, The House also must adopt rules governing the new pushbutton voting system. to be Among questions decided is how long an inter-- val is to be allowed for everyone to vote after the speaker has called for a vote. Also, there is the question of whether the display boards will be adjusted to show the progress of the vote or whether they will remain blank until the total vote is Hashed. The representatives also must decide whether they will d still permit the time-honoie- practice votes. of Tight Fiscal Beit, Growing Waistline as that faced by the average Utah family every nay dy, House Speaker Richard C. said today. Howe, This is, how to make income stretch to cover necessary expenses. Howe, a veteran of five previous terms in the House noted that each time the Legislature meets, someone comments that the new session will have the toughest problems to face of any session. Tliis year is no exception. the speaker said, but while the problems are hard, they are for the most part, not new. They are the old problems of making the states income stretch far enough to cover its many needs. He predicted the House w ill he able to move its business along a little faster this session because of the installa tion of an electronic roll-casystem. No longer will the eerk need to call the roll of the 69 ll explaining In the past, representatives have had a convenient opportunity to do this when their names were called as the chief clerk took a roll-call vote. With the new electronic the-- e will be no need to call out representatives names. The speaker will merely ask for a voice vote on whether the body is ready to vote on a piece of legislation. Then he will unlock the sys- tern and the representatives will have a stipulated time, such as 30 seconds or a minute to push the yes or no button on their desks. setup, however, The principal problem facing the 39th session of the Legislature will be the same j members to ascertain their Now, in vote, he explained. 30 seconds, each person can vote by pushing a button and his or her vote will be flashed upon a herd, and the totals will be had instantly. Howe said stress will he given this session to maintaining order and decorum in the chamber by restricting entrance of outsiders to the chamber, adjoining halls and rooms. Employes will be counseled to he efficient and dedicated in serving the membership. Ore innovation will be that for the first time in a regular session, all members of the House will serve on the Joint Appropriation Committee, he This will permit evadded. eryone to take part in the appropriation process which is the heart of the Legislatures work.
