Show H TO THE CACHE DELEGATION. BB) .Messrs. Funk, Robinson, Funk BB' ard lllckmore ,)ou use about to entor BB' the legislature of Utah to enact such BB laws as will bo beneficial fov tho BB tt.-to; which will bring safety to pub- BB lie institutions nnd cutcrprlBCs; which BBj will protect tho people, both In all BBV tho stato and In tho county of Cncnp. BBj If yoi' nro doing your dutlos, you ure BB; particularly looking after the wclfnvj BB of Cache, both as to her educational BBi Institutions nnd the common wolf nro BB af her people. BB' In vlow of this, wo hnvo one urgent BBj request to mnko of you just before BH you assume your duties In the halls BK f this .legislature. Cncho county is BH suffering from nn unjust railroad rate BBV I discrimination. In the matter of coal BBB as this paper has pointed out, we aro BBB discriminated against to tho extent of BBV twenty-five cents per ton. Further- BBV . more, wo nre advised that the coal BBV companlos charge Cache peoplo more BBV at the mines than they charge peoplo BBV f other counties, and for no just BBV cause. Thcro Is no reason, as every; BBV 3! ono will readily admit, fur those coal BBV companies to raise tho prico of coal BH J to Cache nnd thus levy n tribute up- BBB on her. Therefore wu ask of you, In BBV behalf of tlio people of Cache county BBl J who will gladly join in our petition, BBV ' that you do not tio yourself to any BBV special Interest, but that you main BBV tain your skirts fred from them, and BBV ' especially from thu railroads who BBS I own the coal minus, thereby maintain- BBhT lug u good gilp upon thu coal throat BBV of Cncho; and that, on the other hand, BBV you work for the interests of the peo- BBV j pie, that this unjust charge of twon- BBV ty-fivu cents per ton for freight rates, BBV ; and of Increased prices for coal over BBS prices to other people, be l educed and BBS this valley put on n proper basis with BHB t other parts of this state. BBS ' We belloo that ou can exert a BBBj great Influence upon thusa railroads BBBj ,' for tho bcttormcut of tho railroad In- l J terests of this valley. Wo have fawned BBBj ! on the aallroads too long, until they BBH ,' have assumed that wo would stand BBBj for anything which they deslro to BBB impose upon us. Tho Hcpubllcnu be- BBBj lleves that now is the time to act, BBBj Now Is the time to get out tho "big BBB stick" nnd Use It for the Interests of BBfl the peoplo of Cache. And it is Incum- BBB bent upon you to wield this "big H stick" that all might go well In this BBB part of Zlon. BBB Logan should have a common point BBB the samo as Ogden and Salt Lake. It BBBj would advantage us greatly to get BBB this concession. Furthermore, we BBB must have it, if wo are to expand as BBB wo wish to do. We have many requests BBB to make of tho railroads, such uj a BBB QUt-off to thu Junction. These in- BBBj quests havo 1)0011 made time and time BBBL again, with but llttlo substantial re- BBBI suits so for. We now believe that slm- BBBj. l'lo requosts aro non-efficacious, Tho BBBj "big stick" is far better. BBBj So wu ask you legislators to get BBBj tho wenpou out; pluck up your cour- BBBj ago 'to tho sticking point; buckle on BBBj your breast-pinto for tho glory of BBBj ( Cncho; and wo predict things 'will fall BBBj f our way. BBBj Success and determination to you, BBBj gentlemen. |
