It did, however, receive some assurance of future action when $25,000 was appropriated for a study of occupational diseases, and partial compensation in the miners hospital treatment measure. A check-u- p of enacted legislation shows that 171 measures of varied classification were passed by both legislative branches. Six hundred were introduced. Governor Henry II. Blood had signed 46, including five resolutions and memorials, up to Saturday night. He had 116 in his office awaiting approval or disapproval. He had vetoed one measure, not repassed and approved. Eight resolutions require no gubernatorial action. The legislature asked the national congress for federal assistance in preventing further erosion on Colorado river tributaries in Utah and enactment of farm credit liberalization laws. It indorsed national bills for federal aid to education, stabilization of silver at $1 per ounce, the Pittman silver purchase act and the rearmament program, and opposed reduction in tariffs on Cuban sugar.
