tit or being vetoed by ilia excellency in all probability only one item of the bill will be seriously opposed in the upper branch of the assembly and that item is the one appropriating to build and famish at deseret university the to this item if made at all will be ol 01 the most friendly character toward the university and will be directed only against the phraseology of the bill for instance councilor young of salt lake believes that this money should be specifically appropriated to the liquidation of tits debt incurred for the identical building and furnish ing contemplated by this bill when it was presented two years ago the building and furnishing have been done and this money is to pay for them and not for now build ing and furnishing DEBTS the following very important ineas I 1

against the territory should be first presented to the auditor and it a warrant will agane rable aich will be redeemed by the treas adv funds in his bands this has been iho custom and is the correct

grouth of cities and the incoming inco mink of new population a kuer appreciation of municipal pow cr is apparent at tile same time there should be the broadest possible of individual i ight and ml bority representation it to true that majorities arle in eveia part of this great nation and upon this theory municipal governments are at present based but to make this right of majorities truly democratic it should be extended to every political subdivision however small so it be within reason iii our city county and territorial governments tile con erss of the united states from the foundation of the government has beep constructed upon this principle present legislative represents lion is based upon it and we think it time that municipal matters should fallin toline progress demands it and the rights of a large class of citizens cannot be preserved without it there has heretofore been little opportunity or for majorities to be unjust or indifferent to the rights of tile minority or to be dishonest orear eless in the lion of public affairs but with tile growth and development of bitle s op port unities and temptations awl arise which under the present system of municipal representation have no check minorities and opposing political factions when con strained within reasonable bounds in every age and government been the balance wheel of the state their vigilant watchfulness of every movement of their opponents has called into active exercise the better qualities abid best judg merit of the dominant party and secured to the state a better land purer
