Show Under the Capitol Dome The strong influence exerted by Governor Henry H. Blood among legislators, reflected, as it is, from throughout the state in expressions expres-sions of regard and esteem, has never been more apparent than during the past several days of the current session. The Blood influence, graciously exerted, was on view in the prompt and unquestioned passage by both house and senate of the governor's suggested measure that would make $750,000 available for state uses without resort to additional tax levies. The Holbrook bill making it possible to refund the 52,000,000 bond issue floated in 1933 at lower interest rates and with the time for first payment extended to 1940, carried out the chief executive's ideas. And, incidentally, the governor's suggestion will go far toward saving sav-ing Utah much embarassment in l case the legislature fails to enact important revenue-raising legislation legisla-tion through having made at least three-quarters of a million dollars available for governmental purposes. |
