Report of the Majority Of the Utah Com
mission with Recommendations
WASHINGTON CITY, Sept 20 -Messrs G
T.. Godfrey. A. h. Williams, and Arthur l..
Thomas, three of the five members of the
Utah commission, have submitted to the
rotary Of the interior the majority report OF
the commission on affairs in the territory
during the past ysar They renew the recon-
meDdation of the last annual report, that the
territory should not be admitted to the Union
as a state until such time as the Mormon peo-
pie shall manifest by their future acts that
they have abandoned polygamy in good faith,
and an amendment shall have been adopted
to the constitution prohihtory of polygamy.
The action of the senate and house commit
tee on the petitions asking for the admission
of Utah, the report claims. is in support of
the position taken by the majority. The SON
ate committee recommended as condition
of admission that there should be undoubted
evidence on the part of the Mormon people
of the abandonment of polygamy, and the
house recommended the adoption of the pro-
hibitory amendent to the constitution.
The report favors granting to the gov
ernor of Utah the power of appointing school
| superintendent as under the present method
| OF popular election the schools are under the
control of the Mormon church. A letter
written in June last by the president of the
church is quoted, which expresses the opin-
| ion that if the children are left to the train
| ing they receive in schools they
| will grow up entirely ignorant of
those principles of salvation for which
the Latter Day Saints have made so
many sacrifices. The Mormon people, adds
the president. generally desire to have
schools where the Bible, the Book of Nor
men and the Book of Doctrines and Cove
nants can be used as text books, and where
the principles of their religion may form
part of the teaching. The report concludes
from these circumstances that the Mormon
church favors policy, which, if successful,
will prove destructive to the public school
| system in Utah.
The commissioners also renew their rec
ommendation of last year that the governor
appoint county officers. In conclusion the
commission express the opinion that an en-
ergetic enforcement of the laws should be
continued, and also that political disabilities
