before the people as one reason for a change the alleged fact that the session did nothing in the interests of the state l will be well for these politicians to look before they leap Such statements would havE a quality intensely boom erangish They would go all right for a time would soar away as prettily I as one could wish but the return would be something terrific In the first place the Democrats took this state when there was a deficit of 117000 in the funds of the state institutions The i former legislature did not dare to make an appropriation large enough to cover the actual needs of the colleges col-leges and other institutions of Utah and left the work to be done by its successor suc-cessor I appropriated the amount and made the appropriation large enough to support
