LEGLSLA TON AND LEGISLATORS
SHEEP MEN WIN
FIRST VICTORY
kuChIer Bill in Interest of
Northern Wool Growers,
Passes Senate.

The sheep men of northern Utah scored
their first victory yesterday in the fight
for recognition b. legislative enactment.
a bill. introduced in their interest passed
the senate yesterday by a unanimous vote.
The bill was senate hill No. 80, introduced
by Senator Rudolph Kucher of Weber. II
permits sheep being driven through the
state TO remain in a county twenty DAYS.
Under the present~1aw. the sheep men
are assessed d years taxes if the sheep
remain in any one county more than fit
teen days. Many of the sheep men of
northern Utah have a winter range on
the Nevada desert and a summer range
on the so-calied Soda Springs range in
southern Idaho. To get from the sum-
meT to the winter range the sheep are
driven across Box Elder county, one of
the largest counties in the state. To get
the sheep across this county within the
time limit necessitates heavy loss, and
the law has worked considerable hardship
on these sheep men.
The bill has aroused much interest
among the sheep men, and they are work.
ing hard for its ultimate passage.

INCREASED PAY
FOR OFFICIALS
Bill introduced in House by
Russell Provides for Ma
terial Advances.
COMMISSIONERS IN SWIM
PROPOSED TO GIVE EACH $500 A
YEAR MORE.

If a bill introduced by Russell in the

veyor is paid $500; 1t is proposed to give
him S,S00. The auditors salary is in
creased from 1850 to s. 400.
In order, perhaps. TO win d bit of good
will and needed suppOrt-at least that is
what some take it to mean-the Salt Lake
band has put little pork in the pot for
one OF two of the little counties. For in
stance. the sheriff in a class six county
is to get $500 instead of $500. In class
fourteen the commissioners are lifted
from 500 to $500. 4 reduction is made in
the office of assessor in tenth class

MAY AGREE ON PICTURE
BILL AFTER TIME

At various times during the present ses-
sion of the legislature bills have been Pre-
scented in both the house and the senate
having TO do with the prohibition of the
placing Of the pictures of persons or state
institutions upon labels for purposes Of
advertising or trade. A bill introduced
yesterday provides that if such picture
is to be used the consent of the manag-
Ing officers OF the board Of any state
institution must first be obtained Ii the
picture of a living person be used. his
written consent must first be obtained;
If of a minor, the consent Of the guar
dian; If of a person dead. that of his
heirs. Provision is made that action for
damages may lie for violation.
Agitation along this line was brought
about by the use of a picture of the Agri-
cultural college used on the label attached
to a package containing d food coffee

REVENUE BOARD
IS LOST CHORD
House Believes That State
Board of Equalization Ought
to Revise System.

The plan TO create a board to examine
into the present system of taxation and
revenues went down 20 defeat yesterday
when house bill No. "a. by MeMiilin,f was
killed. The proposed law provided for
a commission Of three qualified persons"
to study the system of taxation and reve-
nue., to make careful research into the
systems in practice in other states and
to take account of matters generally in
connection with the state revenue sys-
tenn. This board was to report to the
legislature of 1911 and was to have $4,000
annually for its actual and necessary eX-
Denses." This sum was later reduced
to S1GG90 for the two-year period.
Thompson opposed the bill, saying that
he was opposed to creating any more
boards; that the state board of eqUaliza-
ton had full power to do what was in
tended to be done by the provisions Of
the measure under consideration.
Mr. Henrie said that he, too, was OPP
posed to having any more boards, ana
called attention to the fact that the sal
aries of the members of the board OF
equalization had been raised two years
ago in order that they might give their
time to the very things which IL was
sought by this bill TO bring about.
Mr. McMillin said that instead of hav-
ing revenues from an assessment of $685.
100000 they ought to be on more than
GOO, 000. 600 He had no personal interest
I'm the matter, but he believed It would
be in the line Of wise economy to create
the board.
Mr. McCracken said that inasmuch as
Mr.. McMillin was carefully guarding the
available money in the treasury, or that
which will be there, and had concluded
that there would be only $1,000 over and
above estimated expenses, with some yet
to be heard from, he questioned the wis
dom of spending $4,000 of this for board
Of any kind.
Mr.. Holman wanted to know whether
or Mr. MpMilffO had taken account
of the $1,000 in figuring up his estimates.
Mr.. McMillin said he had not.
At the finish a motion to strike out the
enactiug clause prevailed.

MERCUR PASTOR SAYS
PROHIBITION IS GOOD

To The Salt Lake Herald:
The Herald has of late given a good
deal of space and used considerable print
ers ink (and red, too) against the pro-
hibition movement. The following is TAX

York; for Feb. II. and which l think you
might print in black or red type on the
front page of your very estimable paper:
Prohibition in Atlanta has now lasted
a year The Constitution of Atlanta re-
ports that arrests by the Atlanta police
decreased $50; the fines collected in the
recorders court fell off by $34.35o, and
the fines worked out on the street were
less by S1G,3SS. These figures do not re-
veal the whole of the change-the fam-
lies i'm which the husband came home So
Der and the father unbrutalzed; the COM
forts that many families had, and the saw

taking $4,000 out of the treasury di-
