HIGH SCHOOL VETO HURTS

OF GROSS PERFIDY.
HIGH SCHOOL VETO HURTS
Especial to The IIeraldJ


Manti March 26.-An expression has
been given by number of the leading
Republicans and Democrats OF this city
regarding the veto of Governor Spry Of
the liquor bill and other important mat
tcrS which did not seem to conform to
their ideas, and your correspondent has
taken the liberty TO send them to The
lterald that its readers may know what
Mantt people think of the newly-elected
governors actions.
Representative p. P. Dyreng. a mem
her Of the house, said: Am indeed very
much disappointed with the action of our
governor on both the liquor and the High
school bills. and in view of the campaign
made last fall, in which the people We're
given TO understand that he favored state
aid for high schools, ! feel that he has
not made good. knowing as I do that
the high school situation was placed
clearly and squarsly before him. il would
appear that ne is EillIng to sacrifice our
high school interests and give prefer
ence to matters of much less importance
TO the state of Utah. Personally, ! have
no complaint to make and l suffer no
disappointment, because 7 have asked for
nothing. But for the defeat os the princi-
pies ! represented and for which I worked
earnestly, l must confess I am disap-
pointed"
Mayor William b. Lowry. a Republican.
and delegate 10 the Prohibition League
meeting held in Salt Lake City some time
ago. said: The governor may be con-
scientiOus in his course. but I must con-
fess it seems very selfish on his part
IN not allowing the country districts state
aid. The appropriations for the univer-
sity and the Agricultural College prob
ably help hundreds to q higher education.
hut If an appropriation had been made
for the high schools throughout the state
II would have been the means OF giving
thousands high school education. where
now they are deprived of anything fur
Their than grade school education. Every
part OF the state should have its proper
and Just proportion of all money apprO-
priated for the public good that all citi-
zens might share alike. I think that our
governor could have very easily shaved
a number Of the appropriations made to
the other institutions without Gripping
them"
Republicans Are Disappointed.
L. D. Woolley, treasurer OF the Repub-
Hcan county committee. said II am
greatly disappointed that the governor
should have vetoed the appropriation for
the benefit of the high schools Of the
state, and the measure for strict regua-
ton of the liquor traffic
+. d. SOTensOn, secretary of the Re
publican county committee. gave the fol-
lowing; by VetOing the Badger liquor
bill and cutting out the sppTopria ton for
high schools. Governor Spry certainly was
unkind 10 the -ast majority Of the peo-
PIE OF the state"
Alfred Alder. city chairman of the Re
publican committee Of MSnti and door
keeper in the lower house OF the legisla-
ture said: II was certainly shocked
when 7 head the news that the governor
had vetoed tire appropriation for high
school aid 7 cannot understand, after
taking the stand that ne did in cam
Darnipg last fall. and in view of the
noble stand taken by both houses Of the
legislature on this important question.
how the governor can justify his action
I'm throwing both high school measures
overheard. tt is a blow below the belt
for the Republican party Of Utah"
Calls II Gross Perfidy.
Daniel II. Robson. principal Of the
Mant High school. also candidate on the
Democratic state ticket for state super
intendent of schools said; Il have very
little respect for a man who sacrifices
at one stroke the high school interests
Of the state, and by such prostitution IF
his official power stands guilty of the
grOssest perfidy. 7 dislike to charge his
exeellency with perfidy, but what other
term can SO accurately describe one who
acts as he has acted? Previous to the
election he visited the schools and prom
ised to do all in his power for them, and
he posed as an especial friend of the
high school measures. How do his off
cial acts in this regard compoTt with his
professions"
Many Are Disguised.
J. C Madsen. Republican city council
man II Manti, said: Am simply dis
gusted with the actions Of the governor
on number of important matters which
have recently been passed up TO him by
the legislature for his consideration.
]. b. jacobson, school trustee Of this
city, said: Il am one of the original Re
publicans Of Utah. and have always stood
l.y the party organization. | am con
WINGED that the acts of the governor are
not Republican

member of che Republican organization Of
Manti said. Thank God, I didn't help
