measure other than the opening argument of the author and a short talk in its behalf by Mrs Reva Beck Bosone (D' Salt Lake) The rollcall however showed 19 aye” votes most of which came from members of the labor group Mr Lamoreaux admitted the resolution which called for 33 constitutional amendments and substitutions pro posed a drastic reform and apparently most house members considered it too drastic to even give it serious e consideration Plan Mr Lamoreaux explained that it is In almost exact duplicate of the plan adopted a year or so ago in Nebraska It has the Indorsement of many noted liberals he said including Professor chief of Raymond Moley one-tim- e the Roosevelt brain trusters The original resolution of Mr Lamoreaux contained a provision for s nonpartisan legislature but this

in the house and the senate too it is presumed which will hold out for both wholesale and retail distribution by the state In this group there is a divergence of opinion some holding for complete

places is being sponsored in the senate by the committee on trade regulations and in the house by Representatives Moses L Holbrook (D Davis) and Frank M Edman (D Utah) The bill for complete state monopoly — no sales by the drink— was brought out early in the session In the house by Mr Lamoreaux Mr Murdoch said he is willing to to his bill accept the amendments necessary to put the Holmes plan
