Show THK KKAPPOKTIONMENT. As TliK Timks quoted yestorday the action of the senate, which will undoubtedly un-doubtedly be concurred iu by the house through its conference committee on the legislative bill, is the most important impor-tant step taken iu years for the political politi-cal and material advanco of Utah. We consider it, aud the result will prove it to be, the best thing for the reconstruction reconstruc-tion of this territory yet devised. With a fair reapportionment, such as we may expect under the new bill, tho liberal city element will come to the fore and shape the destinies of Utah, a task which by cunning and device no less than by the result of the census of 1880, was entrusted to the ignorant and reactionary country districts. We are glad the appropriation of $5000 was cut down to $1000 and we would still rather see the sum reduced to a nominal figure, since the money will bo returned anyway to the treasury treas-ury as very little, if any, of it is needed to carry out the provisions of thi law, and it was appropriated simply to ensure the passage of the bill in its present shape. Let us see if the year of our Lord 1S!)2 docs not senure to us the first liberal lib-eral legislature iu the history of Utah. |
