territory is liable shall TJO cro atcd by said board i bee S This act shall take effect from aud i after its afer it passage Peters as in favor of adopting the report re-port of the committee save section 1 providing j pro-viding that tho legislature should appoint I the board He thought 30000 however was the correct figure Doubtless the business and raining men would contribute considerable There had been considerable talk about tho fact that tho governor would be fair in his appointments but he was of the opinion that tho governor had bad plenty of opportunity to bo fair before this time 1mEans Evans did not believe in the substitute bill because it had a tendency to bring on a political quarrel The law under which the territory Is organized makes it the province of the governor to appoint these officers He quoted from section T of the organic act in substantiation of his claim and was of the opinion that the governors prerogatives should not be infringed upon if we are going to have a creditable showing show-ing at Chicago wo must have a hearty cooperation ot all beliefs I would rather see the whole proposition lost rather than have it become a political affair Let it not be said that we have descended t the ruts of politics to discuss this question A hearty cooperation of every citizen in Utah irrespective of party or creed is needed Baskin said he would veto any bill if he were governor that infringed upon the lattera prerogatives Theres no politics in this matter and it astonishes me to hear my fellow members treat it as a political question I ask in the name of God if we are not all willing to join hands and make a creditable showing It is unnecessary to cast any slurs upon the character of the governor nor is it right to offer a gratuitous insult to him when his record would not warrant it Peters didnt think there was any partisanship par-tisanship intended The names mentioned in the bill were selected for the best inter bii ests of the territory However he was not in favor tof appointing the commissioners commis-sioners at present President King called Mr Peters to the chair and said lam in favor of the adoption of tho report of the committee I do not think that the passage of the bill would infringe upon the prerogative of the governor Under the organic act of the laws of the territory I tako it that tho governor has no right to appoint these men I take it that section 7 of this act authorizes the governor to appoint permanent officers An officer is one whose duties are more than temporary or fleeting I was always of the opinion that the auditor and treasurer were offi cers and as such the governor had the right to appoint them Former federal officials dais havo taken this view and it has been maintained by other states and territories After these facts can we say that we are infringing upon the rights of the governor McCuistou was of tho opinion that the members of the board named it the bill could not possibly be construed as being officers under tho organic law I they were then the Legislature had no right to appropriato money for roads because it was expended by people whom the governor had not named as of licials There was no desire on his part to make the matter political but the Democratic Demo-cratic party in this territory was in tho majority and as a result paid the most of the taxes this being the case they had aright a-right to be represented McCuiston did 1 not believe that the governor would say that the Legislature would do so Uaskin arose to speak The president insisted that he had spoken twice already Baskin insisted that he had not The President The gentleman will please be seated Baskin I insist that I have a right to speakI have not spoken twice Tho President there is no objection I the gentleman will be permitted to speak Baskin then went on to discuss what an I official was and said it was a man who I filled an office created by the political power of the people The members of the proposed board were officers under the law That there is a doubt is allowed by tho gentleman on the opposite side Why should they drag this in it The governor I had not been derelict in any manner in his duty he Baskinl thought a serious mistake had been made in insisting upon it He would not object however to the legislature insisting that the governor must appoint representatives from each of the political parties three from the Democratic I Demo-cratic three from the Liberal and three from the Republican II The question of the adoption of the report re-port was then put and the report was rejected re-jected j IT GOES C F 2S the Worlds fair bill then camo up on third reading and Peters moved that the amount to be appropriated be S50 000 Baskin moved an amendment making I it 75000 the amendment wus lost and Peters motion carried The chair suggested that an amendment to section G was needed BaskinI suggest that the chair confine himself to parliamentary practice ho should call someone else to tue chair and take the floor i ho desires to make an amendment The President am not making an amendment the gentleman will understand under-stand that The bill was then amended and put upon its passage Morrell said he would have to vote against the bill because he believed the governor had no light to appoint the members mem-bers of tho board and further because the I sum named was more than could be af I fordedat the present time The call of the I ayes and nays resulted Ayes Evans 1 Melville Haynes Moran Gendmning Peters naysGraves Lund Morroll McCuiston Absent Baskin who had left tho room a few seconds before the cal of the roll Baskin camo jn however a few seconds later saying he had merely stepped out to sign some documents and he asked unanimous consent that he b allowed to vote The president ruled that Baskin could vote Baskin voted aye and the bill was declared de-clared passed The Council The first business before the Council yesterday morning was the consideration of C F 88 which repeals section 9 chapter chap-ter 31 Session Laws of 1890 relating to sugar and in lieu thereof it provides that the provisions of the act shall extend through the years 189293 and the sum or 20000 bo appropriated for said bounties provided that not more than 12000 shall be drawn in 1S92 and that after the aggregate aggre-gate bounties havo been allowed by the secretary of the territory to tho amount of 520000 no further bounty shall be allowed i or paid by the territory during the term prescribed I When the question of the passage of the bill arose McCuiston said I am opposed to this measure because its un Democratic I Demo-cratic I wo pass it we I eco uize the I right of tho sugar lactory to receive the i I bounty In other words we are adopting i a Republican doctrine 1 am willing to kill i I this bill although by so doing it might injure in-jure our cause I is a principle 1 cannot I swallow I there is a bounty to be given it should be bestowed upon the beet raisers rais-ers the farmers and those that furnish the material to niche the product that call I for I bounty Let us go back to our constituency con-stituency and say we have left the bounty question alone I Peters looked at the question as a matter of advantage to the territory I Wl give 10000 for tbo year 1J2 and and S1000J in lb13 wo will do no more than justice to this industry Wb cannot afford to tie narrow in this matter I the bounty is given it will permit industry to live that bonotits tho whole territory By dividing tho appropriation ap-propriation in the two years he did nor feel that ho was encroaching upon tho principles of Democracy Baslun was opposed to sustaining private enterprises and ha was against fostering institutions that made a few rich and many poor Yet he supported the bill because he 1 believed i the sugar industry asa success it would stand next to the mining industry i as a means of benefit to the territory ter-ritory large working class employed which would bS increased manufactories would spring up stimulated by increased facilities and we would get back ten times the amount of revenue that was given for bounty Evans did not believe in giving alms to rich industries but would go as far as anybody any-body to help a struggling industry The clothing we weal the implements we use are chiefly Imported the money which we make hero is constantly going out to enrich outside industries Now if we can keep this money here in home manufactures I think we should make a big effort to do so The bill which I introduced and which was killed in the House had a tendency Indirectly Indi-rectly to add to the revenue of the territory terri-tory Tilt sugar industry is a huge one The quantity of sugar consumed in Utah is enormous and thousands of dollars are expended ex-pended in its purchase Gentlemen we Bro benefitting the territory by making a bounty I helps the farmer the mechanic the laborer We want a consuming population popu-lation What inducement is there lor a man to come to Utah i tho policy that we dont want these manufactures is pursued These industries are the very life blood of the community and let us use our common ense to the fullest extent white acting in the matter Agreat deal has been said about stabbing the industry Nothing has been done to that effect The bill killed gave additional bounty but did not repeal the law on the subject Baskin We have all the resources that if they were developed would save millions ions of dollars to the territory Pickles canned fruit brooms wo could excel in These three items alono are sufficient to employ many I want to see our people at home wake up and create a producing community com-munity Wo want a population to spiing up in tho territory that will consume what the farmer raises here is but a small market in Colorado none in Montana because be-cause these states aro selfsupporting Haynes saw no reason for delaying the passage of the bill I
