BOUNTY ON CANAIGRE.
The committee on agriculture and ir-
rigation reported back, with favorable
recommendation, H. B. q, to give a
bounty on canaigre root.
Moore presented the following minor
ity report:
Mr.. Speaker: The undersigned. a
member of your committee on agricult-
ure and irrigation, begs leave to present
this minority report in the matter of H.
B. q, entitled bill for an act to en-
courage the production of canaigre and
the manufacture of leather in the terri
tory of Utah
THE majority of said committee on
agriculture and irrigation having pre-
sented a report recommending the pas
sage of said H. B. q. 1 respectfully
present the following reasons why l dis
sent from their views:
'Ffrst-According to statements made
before your committee by the author
las | UNDERSTOOD of the bill, the canal
gre plant grows wild and in such pro-
fusion in the localities where it is pos
sible for it to grow that it has become
a nuisance to the farmer, gardener and
horticulturist; that enterprising men
from Europe have come to New Mexico
and have purchased 1000 acres of land
in PiPcS IlpU and have rNlantad tho
same with the canaigre root; that it is
said to be a profitable investment; that
5000 acres of land are to be planted
with canaigre in the state of Texas;
that the demand for the canaigre root,
on account of its wonder tannic acid
properties, is steadily increasing, and
that the demand cannot be supplied
that reliable authority shows that the
acids contained in the root could be
placed in Salt Lake city for about SO
per cent. less than the imported article
that the root commands the price of
$40 per ton in Vienna, delivered there by
water transportation.
''Second-That in view Of the present
and prospective depleted condition of
the territorial treasury, as shown by
the territorial auditors report which is
before us, regardless of the question OF
the lawfulness and business of divert
proper channels, l submit, Mr.. Speaker
that it is at least unwise to so appro-
pirate the moneys of the territory
thereby charging the deficits and plac-
ing the territory on the verge of bank
ruptcy.
'Third-The auditors report, dated
Dec. 81, 1893, shows the following
alarming deficit at and on March Is,
1890, and their increase since that date;
March Is, 1890, excess of liabilities
above resources. ..................Sl7 SIT, 1856 Oh
December 81, 1891, increase of de-
felt during. biennial term. 1903, 1856 81
December 81, 1893, increase of de-
felt during biennial term. 258,543 6S
December 81, 1893, total deficit. $780, 99 o.
'In conclusion let me say, with all
due respect to the majority of your
committee, that with the foregoing
facts laid before us, when foreigners
living a distance of from 5000 to 1000
miles from us, can come here, pur-
chase our land and grow rich upon
that which is a nuisance to our own
people without governmental aid, it
seems to me that it would be a very
unwise course for us to adopt, that is
to appropriate from the territorial
funds the amount asked for in H. B.
81, namely, $4,000, and 1 earnestly ask
that the majority report of your COM
rnittee may not be adopted. but that
the minority report may be adopted
and that said H. B. 81 do not pass
JOHN MOORE"
