| Show U 0 E SPEEDS UP W FIFTY FIFTH DAY SHOWS BOTH HOUSES WORKING RAPIDLY adjournment EXPECTED WITHIN SIXTY DAY PERIOD members and committees of both tho the house and the senate are showing signs ok of speed and are rapidly clearing the legislative docks decks of accumulated bills billa in keeping with the tha proposal of representative pembroke that nil all bills be presented in the first forty five days members have thrown the peak load on the decks and except for necessary changes under special order now new bills have not been received confidence is expressed that it will not bo be necessary to take advantage of it stopping the clock and the ibe utah solons are arc hoping that the present cession will end promptly in the tha sixty days A bill which while adopting some features of the standish bill for which it Is ia a substitute would throw more stringent regulations around both the use and sale of tobacco than anything that has been accomplished under the southwick act which it amends was brought into the state senate by the committee on public affairs and was placed on the second reading calendar boosted as a compromise measure arranged between friend and foes of the standish measure tho the bill bears beara every indication that the foes of that bill were at least very much in evidence if not the controlling factor at the conferences of the committee and at times of others who assisted in reaching this solution of the problem presented to the state in the at tempee literal enforcement of the southwick act i the bill amends the southwick law to BO as to permit tho the sale of ci gareta garets legally in the state skate instead of requiring persons who would follow the letter of tho the law and still smoke tobacco in this form to send out of the state for the commodity but before a merchant may sell algare ci garets ts he must tako take out a license at an annual fee in nn less than 25 aad in salt lake running as high as this thia license fee schedule is much higher than that carried in the standish bill while at the same time the penalty for illegal selling of ci garets Is ig increased froma from a fine of to one of 1 naturally it is argued the effect will be that persons who operate under the law and take out a license will support all efforts to prevent illegal sale of ci garots by competitors who do not have tuch cuch a license and with strict enforcement of the law the license will become a thing of value and any dealer will be slow to run the risk of losing it by tho the sale of ci garets to min minors rs whereas a wyoming or colorado dealer receiving an order through the annil estil will not inquire nor hor bo be able to ascertain whether his patron is a minor oi 01 not a licensed utah dealer will have opportunity of knowing and will be alow to yield to the temptation of making the tha sale bale the bill also out south wick in that it provides that tobacco in any form shall not be advertised in the state the pres present ent law permits the advertising of smoking tobacco or chewing tobacco or tobacco in any other form except ci garets the amendment to this law is more stringent in that particular tho the bill does docs make some concessions in a modification of section 4 of the southwick aut act which at affects the use of tobacco in what are defined therein as enclosed public places however ilow ever a scanning irig of this provision will show that in many instances tho the restaurateur will be unable to comply with this provision without going to lengths len which will make hini him hesitate before lie he undertakes to alter his premises so as to permit smoking therein there was much debate when house bill 66 05 by cannon relative to storage roods s came up for consideration mr air tannon cn on
