The regular meeting of the Utah Roman's Press Club,, was held at the office of the Woman's Exponent, March 31, 1896, E. B. Wells presiding. Ojieued with prayer by C C.R, Wells,. Roll call answered by sentiments. The Secretary read the Jiinutes .which wereLapprovedMiscelLiii,-eoubusiness was next in order, and the name of Miss S. L. '.Monroe was presented and unanimously accepted as a member of the Club. A letter ::i iheTtah' Federa-- ' then read tion of Woman's Clul" w the topic Ur the Annual Meeting, the subject Unu' 'jA ut. some clubs in the "The Proident explained the iYcrcnr.;":vo origin and object, for the - lienefit f the :mv members.-- An invitation was read from Mr. L. S. Dickiu-- . scn to the Club, to hold their next meeting at her residence. It v.h moved and carried that we accept the. invitation with thanks. DrY Curtis then recited an original poem in-very pleasing manner; this poem to the ladies of the U. W. ?. C. This was followed by a paper, ''George on Jefferson," by Henry George, relating to the Single Tax. This was followed by an interesting discussion in which the mem " be rs took part. Pres. E. B. Well .gave her idea on the single tax question, saying, it is a tax on land according to its value, it is growing in faVor and may, perhaps, eventually prevail; but it does not constitute all the knowledgeof politics we need. Lanre land owners object to'single tax lands valued by their location, and not by their . buildings. The one permaueuTidea is to cx;mpt labor and put the burden on the wealthy land owners, because the present status 'shows the small land owners to be at the mercy of those who own large sections of land. Single tax prevents the former class evading taxation.-PresidenBrigham Young's idea was for every one to own a small amount of land and cultivate the small buildings.' The one question-arises"Is. single tax unconstituti;. onal?" The Secrttary then read a chapter on parliamentar' law, followed by discussion. Mrs.'Ella W. Hyde made amotion which wa carried, that the President appoint the delegate to the federation . The President then appointed Dr. Ellis R. Shipp to represent the Utah W. P. C. and to report the yearns - work. Laura Hyde, Pearl Rus sell Olea Shipp and Edith Rossiter to serve on the committee for refreshment and decorations. The appointment of the lady to give the paper at the Federation was postponed till, the business meeting on the; ' 15th of April. Adjournment was next in order; benediction was pronounced by Maria W. Wilcox. -. 1 .Ellis R, Shipp, Sec. : - .. s S ,as-signir- g art-doin-g rat.i . a being-dedicate- d ; There is no, doubt but all those who. in the past interested in silk, are been have aware of the fact that a bill for the estab- hshment ot sericulture in U.tan, was passed by the last Legislature, and will make themselves familiar .with the provisions o the bill. The Commission appointed are very anxious to have just as much work on for this - yea 1. lone raising cocoons is now upon us, and we have decided the most we will be able to do this year, will be to publish in . the Woman's Exponent, some instructions to those wishing fo commence work at once. We are also prepared to furnish a limited amount of eggs to those who wish them. Persons desiring to obtain eggs from, the 'Commission, will write at once to' Mar-ga- r t A. Caine, 732 S., 5th East, Salt Lake City, and state the number of trees,, and-agof the trees from which they can obtain leaves; also the number of persons they expect to have assist them in the work. If you are not a subscriber for the Woman '$ Exponent, we will send you the papers containing information which' will be of use to you. The establishment of this industry will j also bring a new work for the Horticulturists, as the raising of the best varity of mulT berry trees will in the future be a very important matter. For the present old trees should be well trimmed to cause the leaves to gro w thicker upon the branches, and contain much more of the essential properties, than by letting them remain ihHhe old bushy state.
