The bill extending the sugar bounty
over the years ls92 30 wAs, on motion
OF Evans, made the special order Tor
Friday next.
Evans desired to state for the infor-
nation Of the members present that
although n great deal had been Hlii
about the Legislature killing the sugar
bounty bill, up to date nothing had
been heard from those interested "a to
whether or not they asked for the
bounty. lie then read the bounty bill
Of the Session Laws Of 1899, showing
thai It was evidently Intended to apply
to 1872, aud said the law was clear a.
him because the sugar factory maie
no sugar IN 1890. The bounty bill
appropriated n certain amount 10 aid
not one hut many Industries, AMI the
sugar company desired the whole
amount appropriated two years ago.
They had drawn somewhere about
Sll 900, and under this net, II the fac.
tory makes sufficient sugar during the
year, they can get nearly SO, 900 more
this year, rs that IL the only
factory that claims any. At the time
the law was created, the Mckinley
act which gives bounty Of two cents
had not gone into effect, and this lat
ter bonus In addition 10 that given by
the Territory made the amount receiv-
ed by the Sugar company s81, 900.
The Legislature had also exempted
their property from taxation for Ave
years, and II II was treason TO speak
against the Industry after all these
facts were considered, he would plead |
guilty 10 the charge.
The whole matter In nutshell was:

each industry established In the Terri. !

right
Peters, Of Brigham, the author OF |
the bill, explained how he came to |
father Il, aud said that II proper |
showing was made he believed that |
every patriotic citizen would favor the
industry.
