I 1 can remil recall with entire accuracy the fact about this matter matte r but last year the senator benator I 1 may imay remember was referred ato to hlll hiti committee there was some bome difficulty about the ter ri tories not having made mado appropriations 1 to pay for legal legai a th they e are ordinarily bound todo to do a and n d yin in order to correct that suggested suggested that twit th the w which ch congress usually made mAda for the legislative expenses should be upon the contingency that thi thebe these ese ebe judicial expenses expensed might be paid out of that fund mr EDMUNDS has haa the fiena ilena senator the statute before him mr MOR billi of maine 1 I 1 have the law reads for legislative expenses namely for compensation arid mileage of members of the legislative assembly officers clerks and others and this appropriation may be used under the direction of the Depatt department maent of justice to defray the judicial expenses expense of the supreme me and district courts of said territory ra r ri 1 f mr that being the state of the law as L thought it was as to this particular territory the only one in which any difficulty appears to occur I 1 wish to inquire of the chirman chairman of the committee whether the sum appropriated by the act which he has read has been used for that purpose or whether therit it has been used djon jur paying the legislative expenses of the territory so that in id result we pay the legi legislative e epen expenses ses of the territory and als mis also goa 6 pa pay y jor a administering their local law mr MORRILL LI of maine maino 11 aine alne we have used sa so mach and want io much J 1 mr EDMUNDS if the senator Is that then we are right except that we ought to impose a tax upon the people veople of that T territory arri i to make malse at it up mr i tarm tarn aria arla sure tha that t the legisla legislature reuse ta re receive cei cel 9 any pay they thoy refused to themselves any pay and they hey i 1 served without it mr EDMUNDS of couse course for fox aught van I 1 can s see e this appropriation must ba bel made but the resul is that in this territory ii as distin fiona frona the other territories s of the united states we contribute the sum bf for mr this last span spar j ear eai as a deficiency toward paying payin g expense a of the ideal administration odthe law gut out of the treasury odthe of the united states wbk winch ch we we do not dato da to ather mr SARGENT thi thib this ta Is for fon prosecution a under states laws by U bompers and before selected under A liar jury law which we have applied to U utah tah and to which they hw objected mr EDMUNDS S that at isper As per factly true because found wo we could not have a in utah ufah which would do anything without it buethe bul but the keiu result Is exactly the he same and abd that ie the local ideal law of ufa uta utah ufah ih in the way that congress believed it ought to be administered by this b means nie aris alis instead of the people bearing the expense as they da in the other territories the treasury of the united states to that extent in addition ila to p haye appropriated their for fbi their legislative expenses Is to bear it mr SARGENT it it grows out of the anomalous condition of utah unquestionably mr edmundso St that does not make it any better betle r ia in point of taxing the people of the united states for it mr sir sargent I 1 admit admi t it JS s very bad bid the PRESIDE PRESIDENT nr tempore the question ia is on the tho amendment of the committee combi comba fttie lttie the
