Show Millard county chronicle Delta, Utah, Thurs., Jan. 18, 19S1 Kinder &Jlh BY HARRY MARLOWE The one big mystery that re-mained - - and likely never will come to light this session - - at the end of the first week in the Twenty-nint- h Utah Legislature was the identity of two Democrats actually responsible for Republi-can victory in the House speaker-ship battle. For four days the 30 Democrats and 30 Republicants wrangled over their candidates, Rep. Clifton G. M. Kerr and Rep. W. G. (Bill) Larson Democrats wanted to toss a coin and were against a secret ballot because two of their members ad- - mitted in a caucus secret ballot that they would "have to" vote for Representative Kerr if the sec-ret ballot were 'forced. Knowing of this advantage, the Republicans stuck to their guns and eventually came out with the speakership for Rep. Kerr in a "horse trade'. Chairmanship and control of four major committees, including appropriations, went to the Democrats in the deal. Rep. Clarence J. Albrecht became the "man of the hour" in breaking the deadlock. Risking criticism of some Demo-crats, which has come out in the undercurrent flowing largely from Metropolitan area delegations, the Wayne county lawmaker re-commended the deal from the floor near the close of the fourth day. After the issue had been settled, Rep. Albrecht explained that the setup being what is was, the only chance his party had to gain an "even break" was to "hbrse trade". He claimed it was obvious Rep. Larson could not be elected and that the best proposition was to get as much committee strength as possible in the deal. As a re-sult the Democrats got four com-mittees and an even break in the remainnig committees to be nam-ed. In reference to his position on Larson, Rep. Albrecht pointed out that the Republicans twice had honored forced Demoratic absences by holding back a single vote in order to retain the tie. Rep. Barlo T. Luke was away for a day because dt the death of a niece, while Rep. Wayne Hinton vacated his seat for an emergency appendectomy on Thursday morning. Rep. Albrecht said he feared that growing ani-mosity in the House would reach a point where the Republicans would take advantage of the 30-2- 9 situation and not only seat the speaker but take the committees. Earlier the two parties had ag-reed the patronage, appointing committees to name the employ-ees, and it was this spirit that seemed to carry into the final negotiation and on into the ses-sion on Friday. Rep. Larson was given the power to name all Demo crats on Committees, while speak-er Kerr will name the Republicans. Meanwhile, the Senate organ'iz-- , ed, with Sen. J. Francis Fowles (DrOgden) replacing dean of the upper house, Sen Alonzo F. Hop-ki- n as president, but action of the body was held up until the House organized. Also held up rour days was Gov. J. Bracken Lee, who was forced to postpone his opening message from Tuesday morning to Friday morning. Legislators heard from the chief executive a plea to cut taxes and balance the budget. This was a typical Lee "economy" message. In addition to his natural oppos-ition to public spending, the gov-ernor this time had war and a national emergency to fall back on pointing out that so much is need-ed nationally that we must econ-omize in the state. Prior to the session, incidentally, he told reporters that he intended to make a strong point of the nat-ional emergency in his message and that "if necessary" he would send a reminder to the lawmakers every day dl the session. Commentary on the message was quite generaly favorable on both sides. Rep. Larson, the House Dem-ocrat leader, went so far as to say it was a "fine address" and that he was in favor of a program which would reduce governmental expenditures. Like others, however, he doubted ' that expenditures could be cut very far without en-dangering necessary services. Senator Hopkin, Senate majority leader, commented that the gov-ernor is a "courageous defender of his own honest convictions." Sen. Elias L. Day lt Lake), the Senate minority leader, said the message was soundly based in fact and that the governor puts the "general welfare" first. Rep. Kerr's reaction was that it was a "typical Governor Lee message, representing a sound approach to the economy of government." Most critical was Sen. Lorenzo E. Elggren lt Lake) who said there "just too much self exoner-ation." He sad "it was a message of defeat" and "obsessed with ec--' onomy that tends to create a stand stil in our state functions and ser-vices?'' With the break in the House deadlock, a 'flood of 33 bills hit the Senate, some of them certain to cause a good deal of debate if they reach the floor. Increases from four to six cents per gallon in gas and use fuel taxes and a jump in truck license fees on a graduated scale came in from the Utah Legislative council in con-nection with a proposed highway construction program. Talk is that the gas tax in-crease may go through at one cent instead of two and that the truck registration fees will be rai-sed, but not as much as the coun-cil bill provides. Also introduced was a measure to repeal the welfare lien law, but little chance was seen of its passing. Another question which may get no action is that of re-apportion of the legislature. As yet there doesn't appear to be enough steam behind either of two propositions advanced. Iural lawmakers have claimed, however, they have a good chance o'l! get-ting over a prosposition to provide two senators from each senatorial district and reapportion the House on a population basis. mJI Camp To Meet FritSay Helen Mar Mc Cullough, DUP, will meet Friday, at 2:30 p. m. at the home of Mrs. Lu Swalberg, in Delta.
