Blood among legislators, reflected, as it is, from throughout the state in expressions of regard and esteem, has never been more apparent than during the pats several days of the current session. The B1 ood influence, graciously exerted, was on view in the prompt and unquestioned passage by both house and senate of the measure suggested governors that would make $750,000 available for state uses without resort to additional tax levies. The Holbrook bill making it nossibl" to refund the $2,000,000 bond issue floated in 1033 at lower interest rates and with the time for first payment extended to 1940, carried out the chief executives ideas. Ad incidentally, the governors suggestion will go far toward saving Utah much embarrassment in case the legislature fa.ls to enact important revenue-raisin- g legislation through havat least mad" ing of a million dollars available for governmental purposes.
