EDITOR Sun:

Morris, Mimi, February 10, 1891.
EDITOR Sun:
In the issue of THE Sun of Feb
ruary 5th, taxpayer asks the follow
ing question; II see there is a bill
introduced in the Legislature by Mr..
Setterlund giving the, Village of
Morris power to issue bonds not to
exceed $4,000 to take up the floating
indebtedness of the village. Why is
it that the village during the last
three years has incurred this addi'
tional enormous d.bt? We are al.
ready bonded for $4,000. will the
council please eXblain." In the
issue of THE Sun of February 18th,
w. J. Mnnro attemps to give an ex-
PLANTATION, but he lodges the question.
He says, sin your last issue a tax
payer asks for information as to the
necessity of an issue of bonds by the
village This is not to the point.
He goes on little farther in this and
gives a general idea of floating in.
debtedness of some $4,000, which
later Investigation proves TO be about
IS, 400 and interest, stating in a gen
eral way how this Indebtedness was
incurred, also that there is a 81 900
past due bond. He next informs US
that the income or revenue has been
about sufficient to meet current ex-
penses. He further says, "Of course
there will be taxes etc. collected
during the year sufficient to more
than meet the expenses of the past
year"
Would it not been just as we'll for
MIR. Munro, as long as he undertook
the job, to have given us an idea of
the income or revenues during the
past three years, but as he has not, l
have taken the paips to look the
matter up. The following are the

Why don the council publish their
proceedings in the newspapers? If
the dOings of our conncil were pre-
pared for the newspapers, l candidly
believe they would publish them
merely as matter of news, certainly
for very nominal consideration.
The taxpayers demand where this
money has gone. We demand an &C
counting from the council. In Mr..
Munro's answer he has stated that
some $1,000 was paid out for engine,
hose, ETC., and there is yet $3.50
| and interest unpaid on 1T.
Mr.. Munro kindly invited the
BUSINESS MEN to meet with the
coucil last Saturday night and confer
with it regarding the financial stand
ing of the village of Morris. APP
parentlY there is a great regard for
the BUSINESS MEN. There is no
doubt they are worthy of regard, but
why were not the taxpayers generally
invited to this conference? Have
they no voice regarding the use OF
the village funds, but pay theil
money and say nothing! No choice!
Have the taxpayers anything to Say
regarding the issuance of bonds! Mr.
Munro says, sit was deemed advis

of bonds.

SIGNIFICANT WORDS.

The remark of Mayor SCOTT at the last
meeting of the city council was signifi-
cant one. He said that sit might be better,
in view of the city's finances, to sell the
springs, particularly if the city did not
meet with success in selling its bonds"
These words were no surprise to US and
we did not speak Of them at the time of the
meeting; but certain citizens have been
wanting to know what they mean. We
shall explain.
1t appears, in the first place, that the city
government is in such straits for money as
TO contemplate the sale of the Warm
springs, piece of valuable property
for which the former council re
fused some very generous offers,
for sale, lease, or rent. We are Informed
that at least one bid was made, which the
present council did not make public at
all, for some unknown reason. This was a
foolish action on the part of the council, as
it exposes that body, perhaps unworthily,
to the suspicion of jobbery.
The other tale told by this casual remark
of the mayor is that the city has not yet
sold its bonds. Time was when the city
found no difficulty in disposing of its bonds,
which were always hitherto regarded as
safe and profitable investment.
The next city council will have an
elephant on its hands. The treasury
empty, the credit of the city seriously in
jured, and every available piece of city pro
perty sold-this will be the condition that
must confront the council that is to take
charge as soon as the tax ridden people can
kick out the present crowd OF boys.

feed the Indians than to fight them" In
the first place it is cheaper, it is more hui
name; it would accord more with
the honor and dignity Of great
nation, to say nothing of Christian one.
The second proposition is worthy of the
first acredly keep all treaty stipulations
with them" Had such a policy been
adopted and faithfully adhered to by the
government, there would have been no
Indian wars, no CUSTER massacre, no cl0ts
OF Indian blood upon the escutcheon of our
country. Whatever of weakness, or super
sutton, or folly men may see in Mormon
Ism, they will look in vain for it to become
disturbing element in the government or
In society. The peace and good order
maintained during the last five or six years
in this territory, under every provocation
to resort to mob violence which has been
given them, their quiet submission to
what they justly regarded as a
cruel, oppressive law, demonstrate that
whatever controversy the Mormons may
engage in, it will be conducted within law
full lines. and by lawful methods. Their
cause is not so desperate that they feel the
need of melting the shattered tribes of rag
ged Indians into hostile demonstrations
against the government. Whatever faults
Mormons may have they are neither insane
nor fools; and their very interest and
sympathy for the Indians would restrain
them from urging them to take course
that must lead to their extinction.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-01-23

press assaults and batteries, riots, routs,
ARRAYS and instructions.
These general warrants and vast pow
ers of United States marshals seem to be
very similar to those of which the colonists
complained
The reason given for this treatment OF
the people of Utah was that some of the
people had violated certain law; and
there was no liberation of such ideas as
that only actual violators of the law should
be punished, for it was held necessary to
punish the whole people in this way be-
cause they sympathized with the law
breakers, or at least had not expressly re-
pudiated the unlawful practice.
Now that formal and solemn renuncia-
ton OF the practice of polygamy has been
made, however, sudden desire to disfran-
chise and outlaw all members of the Nor
mon church has seized numerous Republi-
can journals. To them it makes nc
difference how strict life a Mormon
may live, or how well he upholds the law
for this very attachment to law and order
which has always characterized the Nor
mons in general, and now does in every
particular, though manifested for life
time, is held to be a mere cover for some
deep lnfamy hidden away in their minds
which may at some time or other break
forth
Polygamy included, the Mormons have
always been as law abiding people as any
other community on this continent. AS q
people, at the present time, we feel safe in
asserting that they violate the laws less
frequently than any other community OF
equal numbers in this country.
The proposition, therefore, to disfran-
chise these people for what some hungry
politicians allege that they may do in the
future, we can only view with horror, and
we marvel that the statesmen of this re-
public can listen to such reasonable sug
gestiop.
If the people of Utah are entitled to the
constitutional rights of Americans, IT is
unquestionable that in these particulars
their rights are invaded while the propo-
sition now under discussion, namely, to dis
franchise them for what their thoughts are
supposed to be, would be- if accomplished,
crime of the gravest magnitude and ma
tlonal disgrace forever.
