cessfully anywhere only under one of
these conditions, and it is safe to say
that it never will. When told that if
he and all the owners of stock and
sheep had to pay for all the damage
they do, they would certainly do all
they could to prevent them doing dam
age could be paid for, and the farmers
Even then, they should not be allowed
to run at large, because if all the daH-
age could b paid for, and the farmers
made safe as far as he is concerned,
yet the thousands Of dollars worth OF
grain and other products that they
would destroy is out of the power q z
man to restore; therefore, an entireT
loss to the community at large Of that
much Of the blessings Of a great and
all wise creator, and this alone in my
opinion is sufficient reason that al
owners Of animals should be compelled
by law, to place them under such CON-
ditions wherein there would be
least risk of them doing this dana u
in other words, prevention as much y
possible is the only remedy. This
business reminds me of a story
once heard of a man who had trained
his dog to go in butcher shops and
take any piece of meat that he would
point out to him to his home for his
masters use. The farmer has a great
farms doing a lawful, though fear
fully dishonest and destructive bust
ness. L have noticed how this stock
question is managed in Salt Lake City,
tand [ think it is perfection-nOt an an
imal running loose on the streets can
be seen. Take, for instance tRa
grounds around the county and city
building. There are beautiful lawns
and grounds covered with hand
some flowers and ornamental shrubs
of all kinds and there is no fence
around it. How is this pleasant and
peaceful state of affairs maintained?
talked with a friend of mine of
forty-five years standing. He has
lived in the city forty years. He told
me that when the present law was
passed the people felt quite bad to
think that they could not turn COW
on the streets. If animals are found
on the streets, no matter if they are
being herded, or even being held by
their owner with a rope, they are ia
ken to the pound and fined 81 per
head, and if the owner don't get them
out as soon as put in, they are fed
and that is % cents more, and each
day they stay there adds to the cost.
He says sometimes the owners get
wrathy and talk saucy to the poiices
who tell them they will take them,
too, if they don't quit their jaw. He
says all is peace and safety now, and
the people, as a rule, would not be
willing to change the new for the old
conditions. VIII some one tell us why
our property in Payson city, and
especially on our farms around, where
hundreds of dollars worth of far
mers' crops are destroyed every year,
should not be protected in some such
way? AS I have said In other arti-
cles, and others have stated, those
counties that are essentially grazing
counties could let animals run at
large, not forgetting that it is the in
herent right of all citizens to nave
their property protected. In my opin-
ion any law that will take this right
away from him is unjust. There is
not man, woman or child that is old
enough to know right from wrong,
that does not know that it is wrong
to turn animals loose on the far
mers' crops. Then what kind of an
education is this for our children all
the time? We cannot be too careful
in anything that we teach them, both
by precept and example. There is
one thing certain, that if we get such
a crowd of men with a few honorable
exceptions) in our Legislature that we
had there last session, this curse will
be perpetuated on the farmers.
Nominations will soon be in order
for members of our legislature and all
people should be made acquainted
with the merits of this question. I
hope that we may have body of nsS
that are capable and honorable in on9
legislature, for this is the only source
of redress and reform in this matter
Hoping you will publish this in your
valuable paper, and give all your In
fluence for the right, therefore for the
good of all, L remain yours very re-
spectfully, JOHN DONE.
