Show S0L0N-F1ECT GIVES IDEAS ON POSSIBLE LEGISLATIVE ACTS ASKS TO BE POSTED ON VIEWPOINT OF CITIZENS OF COUNTY At the regular meeting of the Lions club, held Wednesday at the Milford Hotel, it was asked by Representative-elect George Jefferson, that at the next meeting of the club, members make it a point to mention matters of possible legislation and to state their viewpoint to Mr. Jefferson. Problems which, may come before the solons at the state legislature this winter were mentioned by Mr. Jefferson Jeffer-son and will likely include action upon a classification property tax, income tax and other things affecting affect-ing the public pocketbook. A state bond issue for a building program will call for nine million dollars which will be spent to move the state penitentiary peni-tentiary and improving our state schools. Of local interest, he said, will be the tax levies on mining proper; ties. Of prime importance to our welfare, wel-fare, Mr. Jefferson said the subject of railroad -taxation will hold first place. It is not to our interest, he said, to further the building of roads and the commercial growth of truck and bus lines at such a heavy expense to the railroads. The welfare of the entire county was his trust, he said, the east side as well as the west side. He touched upon the fact that he heard inklings of a rumor that the Puffer Lake road as well as our highway west to Nevada, Nev-ada, were to be excluded from state aid, and he hoped to be able to prevent pre-vent this by obtaining an all-south Utah protest if the time came. Public Christmas Tree A Christmas tree committee consists con-sists of L. G. Clay, S. C. Ruschmeier and M. H. Pool. These men will work with a committee from the Union Pacific empolyes, with L. Bain, station sta-tion agent as chairman, to develop plans for a municipal Christmas tree. The central committee will have full authority to ask the aid of other members mem-bers for sub-committee work. Telephone Line to Flats Dr. C. R. Parrish said that the telephone line is being built to the country and connections will be made In about ten days. To Hold Dance No club meeting of Lions will be held next week, the next luncheon, and the last one of the year, will be December 26.

In substance, the motion stated that the Lions in realization of the un-justness un-justness of railroad taxation and the use of the monies so raised in maintenance main-tenance of competition to railroads, offered their full co-operation in whatever way possible same may be needed in the railroad fight upon bus and truck lines and other forms of illegitimate competition. o Mrs- D.
