Off den cccd to study it and adapt it to our problem. After general discussion of the various features of the Snow plan, the commission adjourned and the Legislative committee decided to hold a meeting Saturday the 29th, at 10 a. m., to have Mr. Snow explain to its members the salient features of his pioposal. Dr. Lutz was in attendance and gave the committee much valuable information as to what other states have attempted along the line of taxing banks and business franchises so as to conform to the provisions of the federal statute governing the taxation of national banks by the states. This being cne of the knotty problems confronting the several states, drew extended discussion from the members of the committee. Time did not permit them to go into the intricacies of the matter to their satisfaction, and, inasmuch as four other plans had been submitted, and it was stated that others would shortly be presented, the Legislative committee voted to advise the tax commission that it believed the Snow is worthy of consideration but that equal consideration should be given the plans submitted by the Utah State Realty association, J. S. Feyeatt of the D. & R. G. W. R. R., John P. Cahoon, A. P. Bigelow and T. C. Winn, together with such as may be sent in before July 15, which is the date of the next regular meeting of the legislative Tax committee. The committee felt it would be unwise to adopt any plan without due consideration and without giving the public an opportunity to be prisent so that all interested parties may have . pio-pos- al tart in the discussions. It was fet that precipitate action on th? r.rt of the commission ar.d committee in recommending the adoption of any plan at this time would result in destroying the confidence the citizens have that every angle of the tax situation will be given duo consideration before attempting to fit any plan to our con-to ditions or changing our conditions fit a plan The commission was fuithcr instructed to give notice through the pres3 that all parties who contemplate submitting plans for tax revision should do so forthwith, and that at the next regular meeting on Monday. July 15, plans will be made to hold public hearings at which the several all plans will be discussed as well ai to the subject. relating questions GTiO.

Thu commissioners took the matter under advisement. Workers reported at the Wednesday meeting that citizens generally are in sympathy with the efforts of the rlintnber of commerce to appraise the traveling public of the scenic features of the Ogden region. The plans of the chamber to promote more places and attractions for tourists also meet with public approval. It was suggested at the meeting that subscribers should have their subscriptions ready when the workers rail, ns their time is limited. If the suhiciibers will do this, it will help materially.
