FEW OBJECTIONS RAISED
TO PROPOSED LEGISLATION

The Kuchler child labor bill was unan-
imously passed by the senate Friday af-
ternoon. The bill is sweeping in It's pro-
visions. II compels the attendance of
children at school and requires that no
person OF school age shall be permitted
10 work except upon an employment GER
tificate issued by the superintendent OF
schools.
Some amendments were made In the bill
by the committee on education and some
minor amendments were made on the
floor Of the senate before the final pas
sage OF the measure. The bill as passed
emhodes many Of the best features OF
the statutes on this subject in several
states. II has the unanimous Endorsement
of the club women OF the state.
Before the roll call vote was taken on
the measure Senator kucher said that
the only objections to the measure were
made by persons who kept resorts where
liquor was sold and by telegraph COM
panies. One section OF the bill provides
that no glri under u shall be employed
at any resort or other place of amuse-
ment where intoXicants are sold. An
u years old shall be employed by any

MEASURE Is PASSED
FOR L0CAN's BENEFIT
Bill Designed to Enlarge
Mayors Powers Succeeds in
Lower House.

AT the conclusion OF spirited discus
sion. senate bill No; ~; by kuchler, vas
bill relates to the confirmation of ap-
pointive officers In cities Of the second
class. In reality, II permits five Repub-
lican. councilmen at Logan, the other Ave
members being Democrats, TO confirm ap-
pointments made by the mayor. who Is
a Republican.
The measure was vigorously opposed
by Page and Norris, but their opposition
house, without accomplishing anything
Mr.. Page said In substance; Cen
tlemen, the passage Of this bill will es-
1 believe viii come back to haunt you
at some future time. AS / understand 1t,
there is deadlock in the city council at
and the mayor is Republican AS ma
jorities always have ruled In city coun-
ellis, the Republicans are unable to con-
firm the appointments of the mayor. who
two political parties in Logan are unable
to settle their difficulties-the Republi-
cans cannot rule by reason of lack OF
majority-and now you gentlemen propose
override the well-established majority
rule and virtually legislate appointees OF
the mayor into office 1t is bad business.
a dangerous precedent, and you ought
not 10 do it,
Mr. Morris took the ground that the
proposed action of the house was vir-
tually giving the mayor authority to vote
upon his own appointments. and like
Mr.. Page. he regarded the precedent a
dangerous one. He said furthermore that
II would be just as reasonable to say
that the governors appointments ought
TO be confirmed. II the senate were
equally divided upon them.

SHEEP BILL PASSES
AFTER LONG DEBATE
Provides System of Assessment
on Transient Stock i'm
Various Counties.

| Somebody said sheep" in the lower
house OF the legislature Friday morning.
shortly after the opening OF the session,
and the finish was not seen until a few
| minutes after the noon hour. when house
bill No. IS, by Seely. had been passed
| by a vote OF 90 to 12
| The final outcome was something of a
surprise, The bill amends the present
| law relating to the collection of taxes
! on transient stock, and OF this transient
stock 80 per cent is sheep. A majority
ed the bill adversely and 1t was pre-
sumed that II would quickly be killed.
But not so. The sheepmen in the house
and number OF their friends rallied to
the support Of the bill and IL was passed.
despite the objections of the commit
tee.
During the consideration Of the meas
ure ringing speeches were made by Day.
Sanderson, Henrie, Seely, Thornley,, Nor
ris and others.
Under the present law, II. for example.
Davis county sheepman sent his 1ocks
TO Washington county in January the
sheep would he assessed there, and If
the owner tells the Washington county
assessor that the sheep will be grazcd
in Washington county for a period OF
thirty days OF the year the assessment
list is sent 10 Davis county. Washington
county may then collect its pro, rata
for the time the sheep are actually in
that county. for county purposes only.
while Davis county. the home county,
gets the district school tax.
Under the proposed law. il the Davis
county sheep went TO Washington county
they would be assessed there and Wash
ington county would get It's pro rata Of
all taxes. for the time the sheep were
there. II they were returned to Davis
county for thirty days, Davis county
would get only the thirty DAYS pro rata.
Another amendment provides that II
the sheep are listed at a certain number
In one county and move to another coun-
ty the assessor of the latter county may
count them and if he finds more sheep
than the owners certificate from the
other county shows the extra sheep are
all assessed In the county where the dis
crepancy is discovered, and the entire
revenue thus derived is retained.
Still another amendment relates 10
sheep from other states that may be
grazed in Utah. AT the present time II
sheep are brought into Utah from an ad-
joining state they can be assessed for a
whole year, irrespective of the time they
remain here. Under the new provision
they are only to be assessed for the time
they are actually in the state

OGDEN. March 3.-Owing to the prun-

idea of many OF those citizens Of Ogden
who have been working for several years
for commission form of government.
The bill as introduced does not include
the initiative, the referendum and recall
features, regarded as the most attrac-
tive elements OF the commission form OF
government for municipalities by cit-
zens OF Ogden who have made a study
of the operations of the cities OF the east

nicipal control.

bly, refused TO indorse the bill by popu-
lar vote before 1t was known that these

opposition among the labor unions Is

MURRAY is OPPOSED TO
COMMISSION FORM BILL.

Members of a special committee from
the Murray Commercial club. including
David Moffat, Mayor Phil Bentz. J. l..
Brown, Frank c. Howe. Archibald Brad
ford and J. w. McHenry, Thursday pre-
sented resolution to the Legislature
dealing with bills relating to the COM
mission form OF government. The reso-
luton. in three sections. sets forth that
the committee representing the Murray
Commercial club Is opposed to the adop-
ton OF the proposed act. and that the
commission form OF government should
be made optional, so that cities OF the
second class could adopt the plan by
vote at any time when II would be
deemed best. Tho committee also does
not approve of the provision for an au-
ditor or any other officers except the
commissioners. one of whom shall be
mayor, believing that the government
and responsibility is most effectively ad-
ministered by placing all the power with
the commissioners.
In asking for the optional plan Mayor
Phil Bentz says that this should apply
TO all cities OF the second class, ex-
planning that cities whore the population
does not exceed 5000 should be given the
privilege OF making the rate OF salary
for officers employed. according TO the
condition OF the treasury.
