Here we have thirtY-two states that
have found by years of experience that
it is the best and safest policy to have
the capital removed from the metropo-
lis as against thirteen WI ose capital is
the metropolis. And among the latter
we find the state THAT burned witches,
banished Roger Williams and produced
the gentleman Mr.. Morse) from Mas
sachusetts,' and also the state that
produced and elected the sockless
Jerry to the senate, and surely our
proud aVaricious and wealthy neighbors
of the Utah metropolis would not fol-
low the example Of these states.
There are many reasons why all the
wealth of a state should not be gath
cred into the lap of one city, and why
it should be distributed. The first and
most important reason is that in time
that city, in consequence of her num-
bers and wealth, controls the com
merce, politics and legislation and every
thing in the state, and makes it i'm
possible for the balance of the state to
get proper recognition in any way.
We have forcible and ample illustra
tions of the power and odanger Of large
cities such as New York city and Chi
cago, with the capital of the state far
removed, and it is brought forclbly to
our attention right at home by the |
daily press of our own New York and
Chicago-Salt Lake city-when they
tell US that because they pay sixty five
per cent. Of the taxes of the territory
they should have the university, the
capital and any and every thing else.
What meat is this upon which our

Is it possible that our worthy and
