writing to a salt lake paper C L christens jn n of san juan county sas if tho white men and mexicans would let the indians alone quit bothering tho tile squaws and selling liquor to and gambling with tho the males the tile aiutes of southern utah would bo be good rood citizens yes it is like scaring a friendly dog then calling him mad and killing lim because he is said to be mad who in thunder get mad at constant cheating and grafting C governor governor spry siry has during the week vetoed practically every road appropriation bill passed by the late legislature including bills introduced to improve tho the roads from price and helper to the reservation as well as the bill to erect a bridge across tho price river at woodside unless the people of carbon county vote the bond issue at the election to be held april carbon county is going to be without roads for several years when we hive irive so wise a governor as spry it appears to the news a piece of foolishness to hold a legislative session every two years even if bills desired by the people are passed by the house and senate unless they meet the unqualified approval of mr spry and hi his coterie of cronies the governor assassinates them with his veto lets abolish either the legislature or mr spry fre ni t lit lc l c more road the fact that the governor has vetoed all road appropriation bills makes it absolutely necessary that carbon county vote bonds to tike take care of its roads and build new now one ones the county commissioners on request of a large number of taxpayer taxpayers have called for april 12 an election to let the tile people decade whether or not the county chall be bonded in tho the sum of for road building buil dine and re pairs the lord knows we need the roads and wo we know wo we c annot pay for them this year or next so it appear to the news tho the only sensible thing to do in ill to issue bonds pa payable able in from ten to twenty years by the time the bonds become due much more property will be plying paying taxes and the burden will fall lightly on each individual this road voik might eventually be paid out of the general fund und f were it not for the tile fact that carbon county has ha something like in debts that must be paid out of tho the general fund this bear car lets pa our debts and build some roads that will make it pos possible to travel from one precinct to another alic governor and his little veto tho the news that governor spry has vetoed the wootton prohibition bi bill 11 was yas received in lit this city with mixed emotions th the saloon keepers and those who think people cannot be prosperous without consuming a eer atin amount of liquor wore were of course greatly pleased but there are ure many other people who were disappointed in the governor especially since they had read in the salt lake papers that the governor had said he lie would return the bill to the legislature before that body adjourned had he be vetoed tho the bill in time for the legislature to net act on it again nobody could with reason censure the governor but there are many people including the writer who bel belieu le f that the governor has set ill himself up as a having more judgment than the forty members of the house and the fourteen members of the tbs senate who voted for the slaughtered bill both houses of the leti legislature slature bad passed by big majori majorities tiesa 1 bill providing for the initiative and referendum by means mean of which the people could pass new laws or crepea repeal I 1 existing laws this law would have made it possible for the people of utah to pass the wootton or some other prohibition bill if a majority were in favor thereof but the gov arnor was so sun sure that the people of utah did not want prohibition that on tuesday of this week he stuck a knife into this law also all that is left for those who wanted prohibition li is the old local option law and many people who would hare have voted for wide prohibition will not accept local option great are the governor and his veto governor spry was no doubt subjected to considerable pressure to induce him to kill the tho wootton bill and he has shown by his action that he fie had not the stamina to withstand the pressure he may believe he has bus aved saved hia his state frow a foolish move but the tile people will rota retaliate liate by retiring him to private life then he lie can look to hie his friends on the other side of the fence for his future sustenance he ile has made his bed and the news predicts ts it will till no noi be
