Show written for this paper BOUNTY OR BONUS SALT LAKE CITY oct 26 1893 I 1 notice t that bat the logan journal aou taini the follo following definition of tile the difference between bonus and bounty bon A man owns a hundred sores abrea of land on the outa outskirts kirts of logan city he offers to give ve away forty acres of it in pieces of five acres each to persons who will locate and build homes upon it he Re judges that by so doing the remaining sixty acres will be worth wore more than the original one hundred acres would have been without settlers his so ao ion is perfectly proper and way may turn out to be profi profitable to him this Is ia bonus benus another man owns a hundred acres similarly situated he likewise desires money invested upon it but he goes into the legislature and gets a law passed offering to any settler enough money from the public treasury to buy five acres of such land as he has for pale cale he thus gets settlers settlors sett lors lere upon hl his land without himself giving the bonus the pub jio ito gives given the bonus in this case and the gilt gift is then called a bounty very few of the public receive any benefit from it the man who receives the benefit ought to pay the bonus it never should be paid from the public treasury A bonus la in all right a bounty is all wrong while I 1 do not question the truthfulness of this definition I 1 am somewhat Inter interested ersted irk in the application ul of either term of practical things thin go and readily see aee how the application of the wrong term mey do great injury in the education ot of the people I 1 am pleased that the definition ha has 8 bedou made and have no doubt that it will be generously received by poll because I 1 deafly see gee that the word r eds bounty P
