Show GOOD ROADS MORE ESSENTIAL THAN A CAPITOL. The .Morning Examiner .declares country Utah will defeat the capitol tax because the "federal bunch," whatever that Is, defeated the appropriation ap-propriation of $50,000 for good reads in the country districts. The Examiner Ex-aminer says; The head of our state government, during the last session of the legislature, legisla-ture, vetoed measures for the improvement improve-ment of the roads in the country districts dis-tricts of Utah, giving as a reason the necessity for retrenchment in state expenditures, but today the same forces are attempting to persuade the people of Utah country Utah that while .roads may be needed, the greater great-er need is for a beautiful mansion in Salt Lake City, which travelers can Ec-e from the car windows as they gaze eastward from the railroad trains In the direction of Capitol Hill In Salt Lake City. Country roads, over which the farm produce," which make's existence In Utah possible, must bo hauled, can remain impassable in stormy weather, but the federal bunch in Zion must be palatlally housed or Utah will be everlastingly ever-lastingly disgraced. Fifty thousand dollars for highways Is- a luxury to be deferred to some more propitious times, but a structure ot marble and onyx, in which the governor gov-ernor can spit In cuspidors made of nickel, and read under the soft light of candelabra screened with prismatic globes, is a necesbity calling for a special election and an amendmenc to tho constitution, providing for an assessing of the people for extra taxation tax-ation for a period of fifteen years! |
