Show THAT BOUNTY BUSINESS THE sugar bill now before the legislature proposed pro posea to continue the bounty offered in the existing law so as aa to cover the years 1892 and 1893 we favor the measure because we believe it is for the public interest we have more than once expressed our views on this subject and we desire that they should not be misrepresented or misunderstood they are these theme on general principles principle we are opposed to kub subsidies sidles and bounties particularly when they are to promote monopolies or to enrich a few at the expense of th the many but in exceptional cases case such as aa the aid and encourage ment of a new industry which is in needful to the gen general erfil welfare which will provide labor in the production of something at home that him has heretofore been obtained from abroad and which will benefit the whole community by the retention for home circulation cu lation of money that would otherwise be sent away we think a moderate temporary bounty is a wise investment and in accordance with 80 sound und political economy econom y it should only be granted however while it IP really needful to the establishment anti and maintenance of an that is beneficial to the public and which without it could not be successfully established and maintained the opponents of the proposed sugar bou bounty nty argue that that if it to is right to grant it atall at all the bounty should be made general to all agricultural products and the question Is fe asked why not extend it to corn wheat c oats potatoes etc oto etc 09 0 9 the answer to that the raising of these theme ordinary products is an old industry that needs no BO aid of the kind and is not to be compared with a now new industry that involves the investment of large capital and a series of experiments before its financial success can be demonstrated st this sugar bounty is not to build up a monopoly it is not to enrich a few c capitalist manufacturers manufacture re it is not to a afford X ord big prices to a claw class of agri agrical cul tur turis fats ts it is to make possible the production at home of an article in universal use at rates that will be profitable to the public and will ensure the promoters the makers of the sugar and the farmers who grow the beets against actual low loss while they are working their way to anticipated success if that Is contrary to democratic doctrine so much the worse for the democratic political creed but we do not believe it is anything of the kind this thin is a local question this is a special emergency it should be considered in that light we believe sugar can be made in utah at a profit but to make its manufacture successful time labor experience and experiments are necessary and to tide over the period while these are going on the extension of the bounty is proposed we believe the measure is reasonable prudent and for the public good and any rule that is so rigid that it cannot bond bend to these considerations to is a poor rule and ought to be snapped in twain |
