THEY KNOW.

At the hearing before the Senate com
mittee on territories on Thursday, Senator
CAREY, of Wyoming, member of the com
mittee, made it plain that he was in sympa-
thy with the people who are trying to
escape from the serfdom of the territorial
government. We have thought all the time
that the Senator would do this, not from
anything he has said but because ne has
long been resident Of territory, and is
therefore familiar with the unrepub!ican,
the a6ominable system. 1t is also assumed
that his colleague, Senator WARREN, will
assume the same position and come to the
relief of the oppressed people WAR

Utah is the only territory where the
veto power of the governor is absolute.
Section 1912, title XIII, of the Revised
Statutes OF the United States, recites that
after bill passed by territorial legisla-
ture has been returned without his ap-
proval by the governor, and upon recon
sideration by both houses of the legisla-
ture, If 1t receives a two-thirds vote in
each 1t shall be a law, the governors veto
Notwithstanding. This provision remained
upon the statute book until about 1876,
wnen an exception was made in the case of
Utah, whereby the territorial legislature
was deprived of all power to pass laws in
opposition to the governors will. And
that Is the law to this day Even if the
legislative assembly be unanimous in both
branches, the governor NAV forbid the
passage of any act whatsoever. There is
20 limitation upon his complete master
dom. He is in this respect as full an
autocrat as the Car of Russia. Not only
does the governor of this territory
exercise the right to veto measures out

membership of the legislature in suggest

PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

The new city council, which will be in
augurated next week, will probably think
it proper to make q splurge upon beginning
business. The OLD council splurged a great
deal in its early months, growing tanner
and more su0dued as time passed, and
some of the members saw whittier they
were drifting. Doubtless the gentlemen
who will assume control on Tuesday have
been very busy since the election devising
schemes of a progressive" nature, TO
show that new, keen AMI live men are at
the helm. To illustrate the ideas OF at
least one of the councilmen, it may be said
that a few days before the election
neighbor approached him in regard
to proposed extension of the
sewer, saying the extension should
lot be made as there was very little de-
mand for it, the houses in the district being
scattered, aud that th e tax would greatly
Cypress good many people, some of whom
would be forced to sell their homes 10 OBJ
tain the money. The prospective council
man, swelling with Importance, said the
sewer must be extended whether or not
the people wanted it; that improvements
must be made, to show that the city was
enterprising and progressive, and that old
fogies must not be permitted to control.
We apprehend that that spirit will be
carried into the council where an eff
fort will be made 10 boom things,
and because we apprehend this, we
suggest TO the newly chosen munich
pal tarthers that there will be wisdom in
no.
for a time at least until they can look
| around them and take in the situation. The
corporation treasury is in no condition for
an indulgence in extravaganza. 1t viii re
quire the exercise of financial ability and
Judgment to prevent the collapse of the
treasury one of these days. 1t would be q
daring official who would propose an in
crease of the taxes at this time, in the face
of the fact that many property owners are
still suffering from the distress put upon
! them by the collector last year. We don't
know how much of the tax remains unpaid,
but we do know that a good deal
of the money which went to the
city and county collectors in 1891, was
borrowed and the borrowers are still pay
ing interest for it's use. Then, the out
going council has practically shut out the
incoming one SO lar as selling bonds are
concerned, by obligating the corporation
very nearly to the legal limit. Again, that
city and county building has been con-
tracted for, and TO pay for it will take
about all the cash the municipality can
spare after meeting current bills and pay
ing for such improvements as will be ab-
solutely necessary.
The outlook is one which sug-
gests the propriety of caution tc
everybody except possibly tie new
and ambitious councimen, and il
would be well for them to make haste
slowly until they get their bearings. Ii
property owners want pavements and
sidewalks and water mains and sewer ex-
tensions, let them have them, provided
they pay the bills, but don't force things
which are going to make matters worse TO,
an already tax-oppressed people, and DOM
do anything which will compel Salt Lake
to ropudiate any of her obligations.
