TENTH LEGISLATURE IN ITS LAST WEEK T his tteek will see the finish of the tenth legislative assembly. The constitutional con-stitutional period of 6o days will expire ex-pire Thursday. The house Is m a I It ion to complete Its work by that time, but the senate is loaded down with business, and the impression eems to be general that the clock will be stopped Thursday and the I eessfon continue through to Saturday. Satur-day. At that time. It is almost a certainty, cer-tainty, adjournment will be had. , whether the business Is disposed of or not. if adjournment is had Thursday, it will be an unprecedented event lu Utah legislatures, for the memory of teamen does not contain a cell which discloses the fact that any pro-vloua pro-vloua legislature has adjourned on time at least not in recent years, Tho presf.u legislature presents almost al-most a complete reversal of form when compared with preceding assemblies as-semblies This year it Is the hous which is the conservative, body, and lp. this respect occupies the place usually us-ually held by the senate. This year the senators have had many more bills to introduce than the house, a condition which has seldom If ever obtained before. The next thing on the program In the house, as well as in tho senate, is the general appropriation bill That all Important bill should be disposed dispos-ed of today or tomorrow. Once the appropriation bill is out of the way. the house can fairly fly through its work, for the eternally vexing prob-lem prob-lem of finances will not longer be present to harass the minds of tho members. Employers' Liability. One of the important bills to come up l.i the house in these lattpr days la the employers' liability act. The joint committee of the house and the senate members has labored several weeks with the bills providing for an employers' liability act. and has finally drafted a measure which Is sold to be acceptable to both employers em-ployers and employes The bill is on the calendar The bill providing for the electrocution electro-cution of condemned prisoners, which seeks to abolish the infliction of the death penalty by shooting or hanging In favor of the electric chair, is with the sifting committee. Time Coneumcrs. Last week the house killed two bills whoso predecessors In previous legislatures leg-islatures proved to be time consumers consum-ers of the first order Those bills were i he railroad and and public utilities util-ities commission bill and the measure meas-ure providing lor a change In the commission form of government The bill for the creation of a state board of eugenics was also killed The house passed the bill making an appropriation of $12,000 for the Orphans' Or-phans' Home and Day Nursery and also finally disposed of senate bill I No. 39. the "pure food" measure. The last named bill experienced a season of rough going. The adjustment of senate and house amendments re-quirod re-quirod numerous conferences, but at ; last the bill went through. The senate bill requiring Inspection j of hotels was also passed by the house The bill iB designed to make j hotel keepers observe sanitary rules and to supply clean linen and proper accommodation for their guests. 215 Bills Presented. The house haB thus far seen 215 hills introduced Twenty-five or 30 j of these have been withdrawn and a I majority of the remainder have been killed by the adoption of adverse committee reports. An event of much importance to at least one house member was the approval by I ho governor of house bill No. 146 This measure was Introduced In-troduced by Van Wagoner of Wasatch, Wa-satch, and provides a means whereby Wasatch county can be cut in twain : and a new county created. The ei-i ei-i tabllshmcnt of a new county out of the otstern portion of the present Wasatch Wa-satch county Is greatly desired by the inhabitants of both sections A divl-I divl-I slon would greatly facilitate the transaction trans-action of public business Tho new ounty will have a population of about 6000, leaving 4000 or population In the i old county. |
