e from the i governor governor was received state of utah executive office salt lake city march 9 1896 to the president and gentlemen of the senate I 1 have the honor to inform you that I 1 have this day ar approved proved and filed with the secretary of state S B no 79 entitled an act relative to the heritable rights of the issue of polygamous marriages I 1 understand that the purpose of this act is to reenact re enact end make clear the laws already in operation and that it entitles the issue of polygamous marriages born previous to march 3 1888 to inherit or to be entitled to any distributive share in the estate of the father of such issue I 1 believe that this legislation is proper and right and it appears to me in view of fact that conditions that called forth congressional legislation on this subject are settled and that the past has been condoned that it would be in the interest of public policy and for the welfare of the state to remove whatever ban may aist i 8 against the issue 01 polygamous up to one the amnesty proclamation of the president or what would be better in in my y jud judgment 0 ment up to the date of the admission of the state I 1 am convinced th that at such legislation would not onla be in the interest of the state but the children themselves affected thereby would be better citizens citi ens in the knowledg knowledge e that they are entitled to all the legal rights and privileges leea of their fellows legislators will not forget th that at while the manifesto was final with the great majority of the people it signaled the immediate surrender of what had for a lifetime been held as a vital religious sacrament and some hearts cannot alian change ein in a day very respectfully HEBER M WELLS governor mr air sutherland
