Tho author ot 'U tho measure, Representative Seegmtl- ,1 lor, said that It wns anticipated that ,H It would lucrenso tho motor vehicle ,S llcenso receipts to some extent this , ;fl year, but nothing in comparison to ' 'H what tho Increase would bo next year, jS when every car owner would bo re- ''H quired to pay the higher fees. It was 'H expected, he said, to ndd approximate- j H ly $000,000 to tho annual revenues of tho state. H A measure hns been presented by H S. W. Morrison which provides that 'H any voluntary association of seven or H moro members may sue and bu sued In -H tho name of tho association, nnd that tS service of process upon any officer, fl mnnnger or mannglng agent of such )H association shall constitute service ;H upon tho association. Tho bill would mnko any organization, especially ;H labor unions, Ilnblo for suit, nnd It H would, according to lln language make H the members liable also. 4H Tho Southwlck Income tax measure H was tho subject of lengthy debato dur- "'H Ing n hearing beforo the committee, the measure being declared Impractical by -H some of those who nppenred before the H committee. H Representative Day has Introduced n H new bill providing for exnmlnlng nnd H regulating of chiropractors. The new H measure varies only nllghtly from the H original bill for such purpose, Intro- H duced by Day. M Another nttempt to regulate the bust- M ness of production nnd sale of Iniltn- jH tlon milk Is to bo mndc, Representative M Parker having Introduced n bill for ,B that purpose. Two years ago such n jkB measure appeared In the legislature, but It failed of enaction, H Rcpresentntlvo Clawson has Intro- ..' duced n bill to Increase tho hours of lM labor for female help. It goes further ," than the Qulnncy bill, killed In tho '' senate Inst week, for It would Increase ,M tho working dny from eight to eight H nnd onc-hnlf hours, nnd It would delete H that provision In tho existing statute H which would provldo thnt more than eight hours mny be worked "In cases jH of emergency where Hfo or property H Is In Imminent danger." JH Governor Mnbey's proposal for a JH stato bond Issue of $1,500,000 for stnto H road purposes, took concrete form on .H February 10 In tho nhnpo of n bill IH providing for such nn Indebtedness. jH Tlie mensuro wns Introduced In tho jH house by Rcpresentntlvo Dny. The jH bill would nuthorlzn tho state land IH commission to provide for nnd negotl- ,JH nte us needed for the purposes of the jH measure, loans aggregating $1,500,000, 'jH the bonds to bear n rato of Interest to jH be fixed by tho land board, but nut to 'H exceed rl& per cent, H Funds for tho printing of tho bonds nnd other nccessnry preparations for H the issue nre provided for In tho bill. H They would bo taken from the motor H vehicle registration fund, nnd theso ,H funds nlsn would bu used to pay tho 'H Interest on tho bonds. H As n companion bill to the proposed ' road bond Issue, Representative Day H Introduced n hill which would repeal oH the nction of tho legislature of 1010, H which called for a bond Issue nf $1,. H 000,000 for the Utnh soldier settlement H fund. The measure simply prnvldoi H for tho repeal of the soldier settlement H H When tho stnte senate ndjourncd H Saturday, It was with tho understand- fl Ing thnt tlie senntors would not meet H nguln until Wednesday morning. Tho !H members of t,ho houso decided to hold fl a session on Monday. V Dy unanimous consent, ono bill wni H Introduced In tho sennto February 10. H Tho bill Is tho uniform law prepared Xm by tho National Farm Durcau assocU 19 atlon for co-operntlvo markotlng of lm agricultural products. 1 1 With tho slgnlnir by Governor Mnbov li I on Februnry 18, of eight bills relating 1 I to tho establishment of u stnto ilopnrt- ' "n 1 ment of flnunco nnd purchnse, tho llrst t big step toward carrying Into effect: fif 1 tho program of reorganizing tho Rtnto J I government on n more buslnuss-l'.ku i j basis was put Into effect.
