Our laws have been constructed very
carefully until / doubt If another state

UTAH EXTRAvAGANT.
In the development Of the states re-
sources Utah is eXtrdyagant With its
experimental farms and school Of
mines and horticultural board and
arid farms, vast sums have been cX-
pended. ] find that for these together
with the development of the artistic

incident to the experimental develop
ment Of our various resources we eN-
pended I'm 1904 the vast sum of $l3S6l0.
This sum for experiments alone, as

We have experimental farms and are
looking for sites for two more Thous-
ands Of dollars for these, but say,
what amount are we expanding for the
development OF citizenship.
In the fertile Salt Lake valley where
the green and gold make a waving
paradise. and the lake an everlasting
sea of blue and haze where an en-
pire Of the great west Is building and
like a magnet drawing to itself the
Drawn and muscle, wealth and love Of
other lands; where the multitude IN
prosperity live in the Joy Of the hills
guided by the great sentinels OF purity
which tower with diamond whiteness
10 the blue above. With the flowing
streams of water needing only TO be
guided through the orchards and over
fields, development OF resources by ma

zenship by great schools and uniVersl-

ARID CITIZENSHIP,
But the arid regions. We are In
tcrested I'm these at the moment far
greater than all else. TO reclaim the
desert TO battle with the soil where
heat withers and water disappears, !
see an item tor the past year OF Sl5,l5J
expended for arid farms. Have we eN-
pended as "a state, our quota for the
arid citizenship?
In the incidents l have related of
arid homes. of arid surroundings, has
not your minds pictured an Arid FARM,
the which means a thousand fold more
10 the future greatness of Utah than
the changing Of sage brush to waving
grain.
A farm. a farm where boys who, COM
Ing into our courts because OF their
bad environment, because they are
sinned against, by parents, and by So
riety. shall the state OF Utah sin
against them more? shall we not have
place for the unfortunates, a place
for the boy, the one boy Joseph who,
kicked about, with a mother who, car
ing little for his whereabouts let him
I wander IN the streets, sleeping In barns
and cumming with vicious men be-
come seemingly worthless boy?
GOVERN BY LOVE
TO love Utah, it's laws must be blessed
ones The merclful side must be to-
ward the sunlight not hiding the night
OF confusion and ignorance. To love
utah, may we take Joe by the hand and
lead him 10 the foot of the black Rocky
mountain, and pointing up 70 its whit
ened crest, cleaning so pure IN the rays
Of a western sun, say, See Joe, these
rocks are like your poor misunderstood
life. your hard trials and troubled, love-
less days, but see Joe, the snow Is our
love and our protection, and we shall so
cover all your boyhood mistakes, all
your misunderstood bellevings Of life
and all your dark nights with this our
care, our interests and our wealth, The
state loves you, Joe. You are worth
more than the desert, 20 reclaim you,
| TO save YOU to the citizenship is Utah's
| frat and greatest mission Utah has
given YOU a home, Joe, and our white
| love covers your rocks of misfortune.
! Utah will not be famed for It's land II
Il is DETAINED because Of its citizens;
| let IL be famed for both for In it's
| care and protection Of its children does
| Utah meet It's mountain tops, the SHOWS
| of which are an everlasting prophesy
| Of greatness.
