morality, but even the basis of that ex-

The special commission on reduction of State expenditures have made an important report, recommending biennial sessions of leg islature; reductions in judges salaries; in state appropriations to schools; and in the militia force (to 20O0 men). When the report is print ed we can judge better of the details of this plan, but some of the proposed reductions do not strike us favsrably. The present salaries of judges are not too high for good judges i; any salary is too high for poor judge We never shall have good judiciary SO long as judges are chosen by the legislature. They should be appointed by the governor, or elect ed by the people the former is the best mode of appointment, but the latter isinfnitely pref erable to the present plan.
 One of the proposed reductions simply changes the burden from state to town treasu- ry. It makes little difference to the taxpayer whether the state contributes much or little to- wards the support of schools. Towns must make up the deficiency. Whether it is wise to reduce our militia force is another doubtful question. It is now in excellent condition $ and the developments of 1877 show that an effective militia force, not too small, is . nec- essity of our times
 Some of the recommendations of the com mission strike us as excellent and when the full text of this important report is before us we shall probably find occasion for further comment.

The bill introduced, last week, regarding the taxation of married women's separate prop erty, is needed to carry out the Legislation of last year. A section of our present statutes requires husbands to pay the taxes on their wives property, which is entirely proper when the husband holds under the old law a life interest in his wife's property. Where, under the new law, the wife controls her own property, she should of course pay the taxes on it, the husband having no taxable interest ini it.
