necessary to craft a resolution that avoided controversial positions To prevent an open show of discord House Republicans and Democrats held separate party caucuses to discuss their approaches to the resolution and the key phrase that provided the potential for controversy That phrase originally said "we of fer our support of the decision to use military action while fervently hoping that success will be swift and human suffering minimal" But several House Democrats did not back "the decision to use military action" They said they would sup port the president now that war was under way but still believed the decision was premature or wrong Consequently the wording was re vised to avoid conflict The compromise language stated that "we 1111Vak veringly support the use of force " while

districts and other taxing entities will require By Mike Gorrell Tribune Staff Writer When a growing Great Salt Lake overwhelmed a dike protecting Amax Magnesium Corp's mineral-extractio- n ponds in June 1986 it problem spawned a property-ta- x whose resolution likely will challenge the Legislature for the rest of this session The problem is so complex involves so many players and has such potentially widespread implications that normal partisan politics apparently will not play a significant role in achieving a solution That was reflected Thursday by the fact that Republicans and Democrats held joint caucuses in both the House and Senate to receive a briefing from legislative staff members on the ramifications of Amax Magnesium Corp vs the Utah State Tax Commission The Utah Supreme Court's ruling in favor of Amax in that lawsuit essentially nullified the property-ta- x assessment system that has been utilized in Utah and is forcing the Legislature to devise a new system

would be protected from the criminal jus- tice system which unintentionally abuses them further with its constant questioning under a proposal advanced Thursday by a Senate committee Senate Bill 44 supported by Gov Norm Bangerter and local law enforcement agencies creates a Children's Justice Center where all elements of the criminal justice and protection systems would interview setyoungster's in a ting The Senate Human Services Conunittee advanced it to the Senate on a 0 vote The concept of providing centers in Salt Lake Weber and Utah counties is the outcome of the Governor's Task Force on Sex Abuse according to task force chairwoman Grethe Pe 6-- "The criminal justice system was created for adults not children" Mrs Peterson said "Children become victims of the system" Law enforcement protective service workers and therapists would be centrally located at the justice center avoiding the duplication of efforts than now occurs she said Coordination also would reduce the number of repetitive interviews that victims of sexual abuse and serious physical abuse must go through Mrs Peterson said "One of the most important responsibilities we have in this state is the responsibility to protect our children" said SI344's sponsor Sen "to proCraig A Peterson tect those least capable of protecting themselves children who in many cases have already suffered the
