Show IIOWC! sent NEW mBASUKES CONTINUE TO FLOOD BOTH HOUSES. MVEIt ?, IACi HOLDS SPOTLIGHT. "h"Vl crcat porta Aftei fialtinsr the Agricultural Col- Op lege at Logan, Monday, and seeing tho their Ins and outs of how successful farm- assui ers are nadc, the Utah assembly op- nccej encd tho third week of its so3s!on Tues- cost day. New bills onrl measures as woll the 1 as amendments and repeals of present cisioi laws arc pouring into the legislative inato hopper. Many are killed in committee bo j and others more fortunate continue court their journey through tho legislative Tw mills to become laws. havi Tho Colorado River pact, wide Uro izen bill, state firo marshal, repeal of pub- housi tic utilities act held the spotlight dur- wore fag tho week. lister Representative Ivcrson proposes to punis givo a new set of teeth to the bank- sault ing laws in a bill introduced to tho robb( house. The measuro has been pre- term pared with great care, and tho intent convi is to protect the depositor in every An way possible. All books and records Colli: are to be kept in accord with the rules less I and regulations laid down by the state aY bank commissioner. Severe penalties any arc provided in tho law and violation dcatt f them menns a fine of $1000 to $5000 or imprisonment of from one to ten IN1 years, or both fine and imprisonment. S. Restrictions placed on pledging tho counl bank's assets to depositors or cred- m'"c I itors so as to allow a banker or bank S. I to qualify as depository for United agem I States deposits, postal savings funds and 1 I or other public funds, by deposit of S. I securities required by law as set tmeri j forth in the present law are changed. 'n c( I It is provided that commercial banks classi may borrow money for temporary 'n A purposes and may plcdgo assets of n J tho bank not exceeding CO per cent frro in amount of the money borrowed as S. collateral security. Indus Two bills, tho purpose of which is. tno s to clarify tho law pertaining to inhcr- on. Itance taxes, were introduced in the S. . house. The laws of 1917 say that the indua appraisers shall receive n per diem w"h nnd bo paid oi't of tho 3tato trcas- cnga; ury. tho same as other state officers Ora"e are paid, while tho laws of 1919 pro- Prtc vide that all costs aro chargcablo to Indus tho cstato when such estate is sub- calcn jeet to tax. S. Senator II. E. Jenkins an.l J.opicsn- 'day tativo E. R. Caliistcr, both of Salt fi' Lake, each presented in their respec- S. tlvo houses petitions signed by some d-tos 2G5 pcaco officers and men similarly 'cc employed asking repeal of tho inde- & terminate sentence law. ny "Whereas," runs the petition, "crime anot' has increased the last few years and thoro appears to be a crimo wave niakl weeping over the country each win- stock tor, it is evident from the practice of S. tho past few years that tho operation 'aw 1 of tho indeterminate scntenco law is not what was contemplated on its cro- (suhi atlon." Rola' Tho petition asks for tho re-enact- stck mcnt of tho law fixintr a maximum and Port minimum sentence for each crime, and secr assorts that the trial judge is better . able to determine the proper sentence Indus than is tho stato board of pardons. It notes adds: S. "Unless now evidence is furnished, rc' the board of pardons should have no jurisdiction in the cases, and greater "ons caro should bo exercised in tho grant- col'nl ing paroles, as experience, has shown that the greater percentage of crimes cc"s: cleared up were committed by ex- . convicts or parolo violators." tionn Establishment of the office of state dcjJa firo marshal is tho object of House Bill No. 47, the author of which is mcn Representative Iverson. It provides den 1 that tho commissioner of insurance of tho sUito shall bo ex officio marshal, tat: and proscribes as his duties tho en- CTJ' forccment of all laws and ordinances relating to tho prevention of fires, the storage nnd use of explosives, the ""n maintenance nnd rcgu'ation of fire es-capes, es-capes, tho adequacy of exits in fac- crat torics, asylums, hospitals, churches, Sl schools, halls, theatres and public places the ipprcssion and punishment of arson and fraudulent practices in sl" connection with fire losses, and all s other duties pcrta'ning to prevention v'w of fires nnd regulations pertaining. Tho proposed act specifies tho po.vors in which tho marshal may have and pre- s ecribes methods of procedure in all ln(5' cases comins under his or his depu-. depu-. ties' supervision. nilLit Whether or not the law compelling -the uso of wide-tired wagons on the J. roads and highways of Utah should bo repealed was the subject of lengthy ra"K discussion in tho house of rcpresenta- 5 tivcH Thursday and constituted nearly " all the business of the h.ouso in regu- non lar session. Tho cause, of tho discus- -ion was Senate bill No. 19, by Sena- coun tor Ilintch', wh'ch came before the , houso on third rondlng. The b!ll was passed, but not without considerable s opposition. The moasuro caused a "re widor div0"-pnce of op'nion and moro S. scattered vat'ng than any other so far fees coming btfore the representatives. The S. vote rutrultcd in twenty-nins yeas, 18 do I nays, w'th cifcht absent, there belns s, just ono voto more than is re-quired by for the constitut'onal majority. Rupresen- Cnt tstttve Wood, who opposed the bill in jj debate, announced that he won'd vote j,et! in its favor, nnd that ho desired to jj give notV.e n a motion to reconsider. fad( Tho biennial chiropractic bill was M, !flrohicP'l in t'i senate by Senator II. C Tebhs of Garfield. The bill is the 0 attempt or the practitioners of chiro- : Ptnctlc lo bo permitted to practice le- , Rlly in 1'tah without having to un- solt Airca the. regular examination for s r house of the logislaturo to pro- fal their contentions. The occasion SIj a public hearing by the commit- en n House Dill No. 30, by Repreicn- e Hollenbeck of Duchesno county, an bill proposes repeal of the act coi ang the commission and all laws lining to the organization. da iponents of the commission based arguments principally upon the mption that the board is an un- ssary stato department; that the tic of its maintenance is in excess of coi benefits Its confers; that its de- tic tis aro unsatisfactory and dlscrlm- iry, and that its functions could tic performed satisfactorily by tho pr ts and by jury verdicts. a! to measures that it Is believed will tlo the approval of about every cit- of tho state were passed by the ln 0 late Wednesday afternoon. They qu the bills of Representative Cal- co r which provide for more severe jhment for bandits who make as- us ; for tho purposn of committinlg co; sry. Tho bills provide that long s of imprisonment shall follow ini iction. in, lothcr measuro of Representative stcr provides for a term of not fic than five years or tho death pen- or. for persons who sell or givo away tei intoxicating liquors which cause tci i, blindness or paralysis. va rUODUCED IN TOE SENATE B.
