Mrs. Dee Sanford and Mrs. Ann Hales will toe host-esses. HARRY MARLOWE The Utah Legislature passed the quarter mark in its y 1951 session this week without the sligh test indication of what direction it intends to take in the matter of state spending. This might be due largely to the "economy" attitude of Gov. J. Bra-cken Lee, who definitely will have the fina. say on legislative activi-ties with .. "veto" power that is'ih no apparent danger of overrides. He has 30 Republicans in the House of Representatives to match 30 Democrats and fair support $300 to $500 on dependents. In his opening message to the Legislature, the chief executive re-commended the tax reductions and that further reductions be made in costs of department operations to fit his "economy" program. This week he continued his prun ing efforts in a proposed cost slash ing budget. It was presented along with a message in which he em-phasized that "our primary oblig-ation is not to certain individuals or pressure groups, but rather to the people as a whole, including the heavily-burdene- d taxpayer." . among the Democrats who hold a 15-- 8 majority in the Senate. Already two Democrats, Sen. M. D. Gibson and Clar -- ence L. Ashton have joined three Republicans so spon-sor two bills sent up by the gov-ernor to exempt most food and prescription drugs from sales tax and to provide income tax relief by raising personal income tax exemptions. The governor proposes exempt-ions be raised from $600 to $750 on single persons, from $1200 to $1500 on married couples and from He recommended that "we pro-vide some measure of tax relief to the people and then fit ap-propriations to expected revenues." In this regard, he presented a pro-posed budget 'in which he fitted department and institutional ap -- propriations to an estimated gen-eral fund, including surplus from 1949-5- 1 of $15,058,000. This meant slashing down requests of $25,248, 00, including some $14,880,00 asked by vocational schools and institut-ions of higher learning. While the governor was seeking a cut in general fund spending, in-cluding a cut of $1000,000 in ap-propriation to the State Depart-ment of Public Instruction, to ef-fect the propsed tax reduction, however, lawmakers proposed in another measure introduced at the close of the second week an in-crease in basic public school reven-ues that may mean a hike in the property tax over the state. The latter measure, introduced in the Senate by ten members of the body, would Nraise the operat-ion and maintenance cost of a classroom unit per year from $33 to $38 thousand. With a total of 5754 classroom units in the state, this would mean that another $2, 877,000 would have to be raised to cover the uniform school fund cost. An additional increase from $675,00 to $1,000,000 for transpora-tio- n of school children is sought, and that would extend the income and corporation and 'franchise tax collections, the land board collect-ions on school property' and sur-pluses are counted up each year and that after that, the remain-ing amount necessary to finance the basic school program comes from a combined state-distri- pro-perty tax levy, uniform over the state. It should be noted that Governor Lee, in his plea for income tax re-duction, said a geenral fund sur-plus could be tossed into the sch- - ool fund to eliminate necessity o. a property tax increase - - at the present rate of $3300 per classroom unit. Meanwhile, in action so far, the legislature has looked to the rural areas by passing a measure to per-mit creation of fire protection dis-tricts within and between counties. It also passed a bill to raise pay of lawmakers from $300 to $500 a year. In addition to taxation matters, the problem of reapportionment ap peared likely to present itself. One bill already has appeared in the Senate. That would provide 'tor two senators from each of the pre-sently constituted 15 Senatorial dis tricts and a realignment of repres-entatives on the basis of one for each 10,000 inhabitants as in the present law. This would decrease Salt Lake County representatives in the Sen-ate from seven to two, would leave Utah and Weber at two each and increase alb other districts from one to two, with the membership increasing from 23 to 30. House membership would jump from 60 to 76, with sale Lake Coun ty the big gainer, going from 19 to 28 members. Eleven senators sponsored the bill, which is one less than a maj-ority. Senator Gibson was the only senator outside of Salt Lake, Utah a.nd Weber Counties not on the measure. It is generally conceded that Carbon County representation will hold the key to the entire re-apportionment problem. Famies Hold Annual Meeting Each year farm families, who have been assisted by the Farm-ers Home Administration to pur-chase or develop their farms, meet to analyze their past year's achi-evements and to discuss methods to improve their farm and home practices. County Supervisor, Tharol Larson reported that $153,900.00 has been spent through the Delta office to assist 17 families to obtain family type farms. $44,643.00 has been re-paid on the principal of . these loans, which is $25000 more than the scheduled repayments. This in-dicates that these loans are in a very good financial condition. Mr. Boyd Murray of the Soil Con-versation Service, Mrs. Sarah Niel-son, county Home Demonstration Agent, Mr. Henry PeterBon, Farm Management Specialist of the state office, Clark Allred, State Field Representative of the State Office and Mr. Reid Robison, As-sistant County Supervisor, assisted in the discussion at the Saturday meeting.

Now is a good time to schedule it for a power overhaul. Let us install an A-- C Motor Kit, the factory-mad- e repair package for a complete renewal of the "power zone" of your tractor engine. It contains cylinder liners, pistons and rings. Because these parts wear together, they should all be replaced at the same time to give new engine performance. These kits are made of the same materials and to the same specifications as the original parts in your Allis-Chalme- rs tractor. The sure way to renew rs performance is with genuine Allis-Chalme- rs parts and service.

PHILA., PA. 4-- H Program For Coming Year Is Outlined The program for the coming year will include several new fields. In addition to the usual beef, sheep, swine and dairy and poultry, we are starting clubs in tractor maintenance and soil con-servation. We have been missing many opportunities to gain awards, trips and scholarships by neglecting to sign up for the club projects, even though we have met many of the requirements and completed the projects other than the record book completion. In other cases members who have been signed up in club work, particularly in garden, poultry, dairy have not been getting the awards and recognition that they have earned by neglecting to com- - them in to receive their awards. In almost every field of activ-ity there are gold or silver me-dals of honor to go to the best project in that field in the coun-ty which everyone is eligible to compete for. Winners in the county are eli-gible to compete for state awards which include trips to Chicago and other national contests. We have leaders in almost every community in the county to help out members who wish to sign up in club work. I'f you don't know the leader in your commun-ity, kindly call at the county of-fice and we will gladly help you. and Mrs. Guy Sheriff here. Miss Gladys Banks came down with them.
