Show SHOULD MEMORIALIZE CONGRESS ; The suggestion is made by the Mormon Mor-mon press that copies of all the bills vetoed by Governor Murray should be sent on to Washington and laid before Congress,' and that before adjourning the Legislature should adopt a memorial asking ask-ing Congress to givey, this Territory such relief as, under; the.ircu.mstances, may in the wisdom of' that body Jibe :deemed necessary. " . '. ' " ;- ' It is to be hoped that the suggestion will be acted upon. , Before the bills are sent on to . Washington, the brethren should not forget to attach copies of the veto messages, for obvious reasons. And as" to " memorializing Congress for relief, that is something which should be done by all means. The new Edmunds bill still remains in the hands of the House Judiciary Committee, and a memorial from the Utah Legislature would un-I un-I doubtedly resolve the committee to report re-port it instanter and the IIou3e to pass it with a rush. " The members.of both houses of Congress Con-gress are just now in an excellent humor to consider memorials from a Mormon Legislature, and it is our solemn belief that if the proper representations are now made' in Washington, the Saints will not only get all the legislation they want, but a good deal . more than even they have the assurance to ask for. Oh, by all means, send on a memorial ! |
