Show "CARPET DAGGERS," The following editorial from the Sprlngvillo ludopondent Is so upplk. ablo to the howl of thu local g. o. p. orgun that wo reproduce it In full. Tho Independent says; "This Journal docs not agree with tho Enquirer In Iho wisdom exhibited by that'papor In its continued thrusts at the right of new comers to Utah to aspire to ulllco, or that only taxpayers should bo eligible to olllce. If a new comer passes tho ordeal or Ids or hi r party convention und Is found capable and quiilllied that should be sufllciont. No one Is In a position lop.iss upon the pormanonoy of any one's resilience here. It Is brains and Intelligence that Is nocded, .vhellier It'bo found In tho person of a native born Utonlnn or an enilgvauU Ono Is an Individual who knows no other conditions, and the other doej, and hs neighbors believe the now comor can pf rliani secure better bet-ter and greater results to the peoplo for that reason; ono is a resident by accident ac-cident of birth, nnd follows tho proco-dents, proco-dents, good anil bad 111 results to tho prople, that havo been handed down from tho early days, while the othor Is a lcsldont by choice after a knowledge has been ncqulred of nt least one other State. If a largo percentage of the youth of Utah contltiii" to im out in all tho other States to ceok their forluno and aro not contented with the quiet rural seclusivcncss of ovorv city and settlement of ihls Smto, surely no ono eajj, reasonably object If tho outsiders como hero and assist In tho upbuilding of this commonwealth, when thoy como with willing hands, with n pride In ilielr country, and a respect for tho laws of tho State. Thoy should not be abused nor dcrldod If they aro not on the rolls as taxpayers. There are ninny who have lived hero for years who nro not public contributors, many too who have been helped to come hero who havo not been interviewed by an assessor. asses-sor. There Is plenty of room for nil. Utah county alouo can support luxuriously ovory inhabitant of this Stale. How to secure this result has not asyct been discovered, but It will be. This Stato has modes of living In settlements and not on farms which differs from all tho others. Here and there Iho other methods are being adopted, but what will be tho llnal outcome no one knows. The ehnnges will como by contact with outsiders, or after the return of Utah's youths nnd tho application of their recoiumcndatlous In part or In their entirety." |
