Members and committees of both the house and the senate are showing signs of speed and are rapidly clearing clear-ing the legislative decks of accumulated accumu-lated bills. In keeping with the proposal propos-al of Representative Pembroke that all bills be presented in the first forty-five days, members have thrown the peak load on the decks, and except for necessary nec-essary changes under special order new bills have not been received. Confidence is expressed that it will not be necessary to take advantage of "stopping the clock" and the Utah Pettit of Carbon, and Shelley of Utah county favored the bill and Brewer of Ogden opposed it It was passed by a vote of 41 ayes, 7 nays and 7 absent The joint appropriations committee of the Fifteenth legislature submitted to the lower house its report on the budget bill as submitted by Governor Mabey, providing for the support of the state government for the period beginning April 1, 1923, and continuing continu-ing until March 31, 1925. The report also included supplementary budgets Nos. 1 and 2. The main budget emerged from the committee with many revisions. Supplement No. 1 was favorably recommended without changes and No. 2 was stricken. INTRODUCED HOUSE II.

Solons are hoping that the present session will end promptly in the sixty days. A bill which, while adopting some features fea-tures of the Standish bill, for which it is 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, the bill bears every indication that the foes of that bill were at least very much in evidence, evi-dence, 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-temped at-temped literal enforcement of the H.

The bill amends the Southwick law to as to permit the sale of cigarets legally in the state, instead of requir- lng persons who would follow the let- i ter of the law and still smoke tobacco In this form to send out of the state 1 for the commodity. But before a mer- i chant may sell cigarets he must take i out a license at an annual fee in no instance less than $25,, and in Salt Lake running as high as $100. This ' license fee schedule is much higher than that carried in the Standish bill; while at the same time the penalty for Illegal selling of cigarets is increased from a fine of $100 to one of $299. Naturally, it is argued, the effect will be that persons who operate under the law and take out a license will support sup-port all efforts to prevent illegal sale of cigarets by competitors who do not have such 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 losit'g it by the sale of cigarets to minirs. Whereas a Wyoming or Colorado dealer receiving an order through the mail will not inquire, nor be able to ascertain as-certain whether his patron is a minor or not, a licensed Utah dealer will have opportunity of knowing, and will be slow to yield to the temptation of making the sale. The bill also out-Southwicks Southwick South-wick in that it provides that tobacco in any form shall not be advertised in the state. The present law permits the advertising of smoking tobscco or chewing tobacco, or tobacco in any other form except cigarets. The amendment to this law is more stringent strin-gent in that particular. - , The bill docs make some concessions in a modification of section 4 of the Southwick act, which affects the use of tobacco in what are defined therein as "enclosed public places." However, a scanning of this provision will show that in many instances the restaurateur restaura-teur will be unable to comply with this provision without going to lengths which will make him hesitate before he undertakes to alter his premises so . as to permit smoking" therein. There was much debate when House bill 65, by Cannon, relative to storage goods, came up for consideration. Mr. Cannon explained that it was merely a matter of marking eggs and butter and other products just what they are. He pointed out that in many other states when goods are in storage thirty days they cease to be labeled fresh, but that in Utah thr-y may be marked fresh and sold as fresh after having been in cold storage ninety reauon.
