Show e ell failure of tho the senate and house home of representatives of tho the current log legislature to agree upon vastly important legislation has brought about a lawmaking deadlock which threatens unless broken to effectively prevent the he enact enactment men of n new w statutes ta and changes in existing ones doomed deemed vitally necessary t to 0 the states welfare with only 10 days ot of the session left legislators at the beginning ot of the eighth week found themselves faced with serious impasses in regard to at least two of the most moat far reaching of tax legislation proposals the individual income and corporation franchise taxation measures other measures regarded by largo large groups as of prime import were threatened with similar deadlocks what might happen to these controversial trover sial bills la Is seen in the fate of H B 5 6 the bill providing an 8 hour day tor for underground mine workers it died a lingering death when three conference committees tailed failed to agree upon senate amendments A like fate may be in store tor for other controversial measures unless the legislators of upper and lower houses become more agreeable to compromise at the beginning ot of the eighth session week the two tax measures were in the hands ot of compromise committees known as conferees those these committees were appointed after both houses had refused to recede from their positions regarding property tax offsets and personal exemptions in the income tax bill and offsets in the corporation tran fran chise tax measure indications are that both houses will refuse to yield with bitter ending resulting in the killing of both bills in the meantime while conferees are conferees charges and counter charges are the order of tho the day these heated verbal exchanges tend to keep agreement waters much ril ed widening the rift between house bouse and senate apparent almost from the beginning of the session with tho the lower house bouse favoring leftist legislation and the upper house veering more to the conservative almost equally as controversial as the much debated tax measures are such bills as H B 4 effecting material changes in the present state industrial act through increasing and otherwise altering work mens compensation pensa tion in case of accident and il II B 16 levying a tax of 4 cents per 1000 cubic feet on natural gas both passed the house perhaps not so controversial among house passed measures moa but certain of senatorial amendment are the produce dealers license and control and truck bills all are important and how they can wend their way through the devious channels of amendments concur ronce conferees and final agreement is puzzling even the most sanguine legislators the strong influence exerted by governor henry 11 blood among legislators reflected as aa it Is from throughout the state in expressions of regard and esteem has never been mor apparent than during daring the past several days of the current eoas ion the blood influence Int luence graciously exerted was on view in the prompt and unquestioned passage by both house and senate ot of the governors go suggested measure that would make available tor for state stata uses without resort to additional tax lovles lovies tho the holbrook bill malting making it possible to refund the bond issue floated in 1931 1933 at lower interest raise and with the time for or first payment extended to 1910 1940 carried out the chief executives ideas and incidentally the governors bUg suggestion will go eo far toward saving utah much embarrassment in case the legislature falls to enact important revenue raising legislation thru having made at least three quarters of a million dollars available for or governmental ern mental purposes speedy passage of bills making it possible tor for cities to participate in water projects all urged by governor blood was evidence of the confidence reposed in the states ex head they unquestionably saved the deer creek utah lake ten million dollar project tor for utah hence salt bait lake city and the vast territory to be served by the giant project may well thank governor blood for hla his keen interest and decisive action in these matters all of which carries out this col aumua predictions that the governor would emerge from current legislative activities the strongest man in utah lie ile Is doing more ho he la Is indeed proving himself the balance choel ot of the state the right man on the biggest job a beehive state governor over ever handled again speaking ot of the governor ile he clearly proved hla his wisdom and acumen by appointing monte witson as his legislative advisor the man to delve into and sense the inside of legislation as it Is proposed and enacted on capitol hill monte as he Is familiarly known 0 everybody who has haa had to do with irate affairs and newspaper work in atah knows more about the real inide of legislative and governmental aings on than perhaps any other individual in the state he ha has been associated with them as a salt lako lake tribune capitol and legislative reporter tor for many years and during this time he has commanded the respect and regard ot of every legislator and departmental executive ask monte he knows has been the advice tendered everyone wanting information anent this or that in governmental affairs attal rs he la Is a veritable encyclopedia of 0 information relative to state government but above all a reliable one ills his capitol astor les ies have commanded widespread attention and revealed a fund ot of tactual factual dope valuable to newspaper paper and ad state alike and so governor blood will have at his elbow an advisor who knows what it is all about an invaluable aid in passing upon legislative and matters the appointment Is but another evidence ot of the chief executives desire to know and to do what Is best beat tor for his bis state III 0 bills that may yet see the light ot of day via the legislative hoppers include several af it more than one la Is necessary giving governor blood power to coordinate social security program with that of the federal government such measures are deemed necessary in view of the tact fact that the current legislature will very likely not be in a position to enact the proper legislation because of 0 the federal program being as yet undecided the bills will probably set up means whereby tho the state can cooperate with washington after the twenty first session has become history another bill talked of and likely to be introduced Is one demanding an invest investigation gation of special funds held by the university of utah in alleged defiance of orders from the state auditors office tor for their restoration to to the state such a measure may be sponsored in the senate this week approximately la Is said to be involved talking of bills it Is deemed practically certain that many perhaps two or three hundred may never emerge from committees dozens will likely never reach the tha sitting sifting committees while scores of others will die with the sif sitters |
