in the united states has had thrown the people and the papers of this country upon their F elf eif the way many are defending themselves is by people after the common fashion of cry ing youre another consequently we see in the papers labored attempts and careful raking over of history for example examples 3 to prove that there has been official corruption in high places in other nations and in former times the crimes of others b 0 wever are but a poor justification fi of ones own and the fact that in english french or german history instances may b bs found wherein high off meers officers of the state forgot the dignity and honor thereto due line and took bribes to their itching palms is a lame apology for such vile transactions in in this day in the greatest republic and the foremost country in the world that there is a lamentable lack jack of integrity and true honor in american public life lire of today to day is is a fact so abundantly proved as to be be yond vond ond

between five and six 6 ix thousand thy busand dollars each annually payments due monthly for fon their legislative servIces but the members of the utah legislature were forbidden any pay either by congress or the territory not withstanding this stingy treatment however the legislators of this territory at their late session very generously voted per annum for court purposes this was the more generous on their part for the reason that this money meney Is to be expended not by territorial but by federal officers a very anomalous arrangement for which however the territorial legislature is not responsible the courts of or this territory are held under united states laws and all the direct n officials conce concerned ined in them are united states |
