I EXECUTIVE FROM EXPULSION COMMITTEE THREATENED FOR DISOBEDIENCE Accused Leader Vigorously Denlel Desire to Revise Policies Of Lentne; Russian Policies Changing Moscow. Leon Trotsky will not be permitted to remain on the soviet war council and is warned that a continuance of disobedience will culmin ate in his being expelled from the political bureau and the soviet executive committee. These facts became known in a semiofficial communication issued here. The communication said that at a plenary meeting of the executive committee and control commission of the Communist party, held on Friday, it was decided, almost unanimously, first, to invite Trotsky to submit effectively to party discipline; second, that his retention on the war council must be regarded as impossible; and, third, that the question of the further employment of Trotsky on the executive committee be postponed until the next party congress, with a warning that his continued disobedience would entail his removal from the political bureau and the executive committee. According to the. communication, Trotsky wrote to the committee regretting his inability, owing to his illness, to attend its session, and declaring that he had kept silence in order to spare the Communist party. He vigorously denied he favored revising Leninism or that he belittled the role of Lenino. News Notes From All Part s of UTAH Salt Lake City. Headlights in Governor Derns message to the legislature are: 1. We shall never be assured of the intelligent voting until we adopt the headless ballot. The present election machinery in regard to the form of ballot presupposes a degree of illiteracy and ignorance that we should be ashamed to admit 2. The election of the judiciary and the state superintendent of instruction a year following the presidential election, would go far toward taking these important branches of government out of politics. 8. Any expenditure that will cut down doctor bills and funeral expenses and save human lives is well spent. 4. An efficient judiciary is essential in good government. 5. The benefits of the department of finance and purchase have not been commensurate with the expense to justify its retention. 6. The state should live within its means. The chief concern should not be to seek new sources of revenue, but to decrease expenditure. 7. The accomplishments of a legislative session are not to be measured by the number of new laws enacted. 8. The most pressing question in government today is economy. 9. If the interior departments position in state lands is sustained it will leave title to all state lands in chaos. 10. The solution for compensation for victims of automobile accidents is extremely complicated. 11. I believe that every sound thinking man and woman is favorable to proper regulation of the labor of children and the only question involved is , whether regulation should be state or national.
