CITY UTAH march ath 1892 hon W S king president of the legislative council sipi return C J M no 2 without my approval I 1 infer from the tone of some portions of it that my my approval was not expected I 1 concur inmany in many facts set out ont in the memorial in the statements as to the prosperity productions population wealth and prospective wealth of our territory that new conditions have honestly come that the future is secure and retrogression is impossible As e early arly as october 1890 in a supplemental report unpublished I 1 substantially recognized the sincerity of the people and the honesty of shenew the new conditions then approaching pro aching and I 1 have never retracted the opinion perhaps some who approve this memorial were more tardy in their recognition or at a least later in expressing it yet I 1 cannot think the memorial is happily conceived or that it will serve any usef useful ua purpose or to be of any benefit no to the p ople of the territory of utah to whom in hi some soine e respects it ii does scanty justi justice ce it states pome things and implies others which are a full justification of the course of the government in the past and some facts which seem at variance with the impatient assertions sert ions made and put the people in the false position ot of denouncing all the past instead of looking solely to the pre ent and future any lengthy statement of my reasons for withholding approval oval is ia not necessary because the time is approaching pro aching perhaps is near when discussions of past differences will be useless and all can unite in looking to the future the memorial shows the great prosperity of utah but i fails to show how this was reached under the dire oppressions oppress ions of federal control so vividly set forth the prosperity is a fact and that feet fact may induce a belief abroad that there may be some imagination in the conception of the oppression the memorial states that utah in the feelings of her aple people has been lifted from her humiliation and d 11 in justice to the pa people of utah it should be stated that their own good sense lifted them from what is harshly called humiliation and disgrace ye yet t we cannot forget that what the memorial calls the distant appointing power made laws and appointed officer 3 to exercise an influence which called the attention of the he people to the fact that they needed lifting and that it was under tinder those laws and offices that the people reached the prosperity ro and the now new conditions condition 4 set IOU alorth and the memorial is unjust to the people in assuming that they desire to absolutely condemn all the measures and agencies of the pat past the memorial says concerning utah in the midat of her wonderful material progress her people have recently turned their attention to the sudy study of questions of government and legitimate politics and in espousing the the cause of one or the other of the political parties this statement does not do full justice io 0 o the people as they are better acquainted acqua ined with the matters or of government overn ment and politics than it implies tut but with such a statement made it woula would not be strange if this distant appointing appo ining power might think it well to await unil un il a lew few elementary lessons were taken in those subjects before c all the measures of the past part and demanding possession of the future the people of utah who do not hold or want office might well inquire whether this memorial is the eta statement lement of friends and whether po soon ver the arrival of the new conditions conditions they should be put in the position of denouncing all the measures which have aided i hem to 10 attain the new conditions and of finding fault because legislation does not pace with their own changes of opinion ache length of time during which the contesa was in progress in utah is well known it covers more years than the number of months which have elapsed since the new conditions were inaugurated men can not always change their opinions instants instantly and governmental changes ir come slowly while I 1 believe the new conditions have honestly come and that the people of utah are more worthy than the implications of the memorial represent still I 1 lam am unwilling nor do I 1 think it right to utterly condemn all the men and measures of the past or to put the people in the attitude of impatient fault find ers era I 1 am willing to give those who are not so well convinced of the fiew new con dilious a little time to adopt now new opinions A little patience is not unbecoming to a people who are prosperous in view of the past history of the territory if dela delay is necessary it will enable them to get tetter better fitted in the new conditions and to better decide what they want next and also to convince the people of the united states of the honesty of the new conditions this distant appointing fi power 0 W er represents more than sixty million of people with whom the people of utah must be affiliated affiliated in governmental affairs and it is as worth a little patience and delay to convince them so they may sand ready to cheerfully welcome the people of to the equal and honorable alliance which statehood implies without looking backward with a fear lest some slip may occur in the lifting process which the memorial mentions personally I 1 have no such fear yet I 1 can not unjust condemnation of those who have it will in the end be more just and grateful to the people of utah to be called and welcomed to the association of states than to be received on probation and with a partial confidence grudgingly given I 1 believe that in due time this will come and in the meantime I 1 consider the faulkner bill objectionable in every way it to is not known the people want it and no provi provision tion to is made for submitting i to their vote it is bellev believed by many of them to be the work of scheming men whose mcives are suspected it puts on tho the people the expense of statehood without representation withholds from the people eople the confidence of the nation and arands brands them witha suspicion of disloyalty it crystallizes crysta lizes into legislation the hesitation oftie people of this nation to repose confidence in the new conditions and this legislation cannot be changed as speedily as the opinions of the people of the nation will change when they are convinced convince dof of the sincerity of the people of utah in the new departure I 1 have no BO objection to slate statehood hood when the question is presented in the usual way and in the meantime I 1 do not urge statehood hood until such time as the nation cank can give ive full confidence to the people of btag utah if that is tomorrow lot let it be so but if the nation asks delay until it can attain the necessary 8 ary 11 feeling of confidence in utah I 1 am content to wait and in the meantime to rely on the justice and beneficent intentions of the people and government of the united states toward atah utah and her people eople I 1 am very res rea L THOMAS governor
