Official church support became apparent with the public involvement of the presiding bishop and the church president, Heber J. Grant, in the affairs of the Associated Industries, the primary sponsor of Utah's American Plan.
While the Mormon Church president, Heber J. Grant, was without question opposed to compulsory unionism, it fell to a member of the church's Quorum of Twelve Apostles, Joseph F. Merrill, to take a strong public position against compulsory unionism in the general conferences of the church.

 TIME Magazine Archive Article -- Lee's Defeat -- Sep. 24, 1956
Seeking the G.O.P. nomination for an unprecedented third term as governor, Utah's bumptious J. Bracken Lee was unexpectedly—and unceremoniously—trounced in last week's bitter Republican primary.
Chief architect of Lee's defeat was Utah's senior Senator, Arthur V. Watkins, who has feuded with Maverick Lee because of the latter's zany antics in opposing aid for public education, the federal income tax, and the Eisenhower Administration.
Watkins denounced Lee as "the most disruptive influence in the whole Republican Party." If Kingmaker Watkins is successful in smoothing the ruffled feathers of Lee's followers by November, Clyde should win handily over Democratic Nominee Lorenzo Clark Romney in nominally Republican Utah.

Back in the late 1950s, a prescient and deeply reactionary man named J. Bracken Lee - a former governor of Utah - had an interesting notion.
He would try to get three fourths of the states to pass what he termed "The Ultimate Resolution," which would dissolve the federal government in the event that the national debt ever reached $6 trillion.
All federal employees - from the president to Supreme Court justices to Senators to janitors at the IRS - would be fired immediately, and each of the states would become - as Lee asserted they were in the first place - sovereign nations.

Chodorov, who was editor of the conservative-libertarian weekly, Human Events, when it was more libertarian than conservative, made the case against the income tax by focusing on the "original meaning" of America, namely a nation where government was supposed to protect the people's property rights.
Even the Foreword to Chodorov's The Income Tax: Root of All Evil, written by Utah governor J. Bracken Lee, contains gems that would never be uttered by any state chief executive today, demonstrating how contemporary government officials from both major political parties have embraced big government.

 Utah State Bird California Gull Larus californicus
It was a long way from 1848 but, over 100 years later, a bill was introduced in the Utah House of Representatives by Richard C. Howe promoting the California gull as the official state bird.
The bill was approved by the Utah Legislature and Governor J. Bracken Lee signed the legislation adopting the California gull as the official state bird on February 14, 1955.
We are puzzled by the lack of consistency between the statute that identifies the state bird as a "sea gull" and the Utah web site that consistently identifies the state bird as a California gull.
