FyLER,s ATTACHMENT BILL.

Assemblyman Tyler has introduced a
bill relative to attachments, the policy of
which appears to us doubtful. 1t is to the
effect that when laborer has contracted a
debt for the necessaries of life, his creditor
NAV file an affidavit of the fact with the
laborer's employer, and on the admission
of the Justice of the claim by the debtor
the employer shall pay half the earnings
of the debtor over every payday until the
debt is discharged. The objection which
occurs to us is that such law is calculated
to encourage the extension of credit, and
thus to bring the poor under species of
enslavement, highly prejudicial to the
development of self,denial, and self-con-
troll The credit system is at the bestIa
necessary evil, and it is against public
policy to foster it by special enactment.
There can be no doubt that if it
were possible the best thing that could
happen to the masses would be the aboli-
ton of credit, and it is equally true that
such change would be to the advantage
of dealers. The machinery for the collec-
ton of debts is perhaps far from perfec-
ton, but it is by no means certain that its
deficiencies are not beneficial rather than
injurious. Whoever gives credit ought to
be made to carry the risk, for in no other
way can caution be instilled into trades
people. The reckless extension of credit
always works evil, not merely to the i'm
prudent merchant or retailer, but to the
honest poor who cannot always make cash
purchases. They suffer for the taches of
those who run in debt without meaning to
pay, but it is the dealers want of care that
encourages rogues of the latter kind. On
the whole, therefore, We are inclined to
think that Mr.. Tyler's attachment bill is
not desirable measure.

THE sTATg NoaMAL SCHOOL

An attempt is being made to secure the
removal of the State Normal School to
Berkeley. The argument in support OF
this proposition is to the effect that hith-
because the grade of instruction given in
it has been too low The BerkelegGR as
serts that the Normal School graduates
could not pass the matriculating examina-
ton at the State University; that they
learn only elementary matters that the
first-grade certificates given to them are
therefore without value; and that the
only way to utilize the Normal School is to
remove it to Berkeley and practically in
corporate it with the State University,
adding College of Pedagogics to the lat
ter for the purpose of meeting the new de-
mand for instruction in teaching. We are
not sufficiently acquainted with the course
of instruction pursued at the State Normal
School to judge concerning the soundness OF
this criticism. If it is sound, however, it is
evident that the Normal School course
stands in need of reformation, and that it
can produce no satisfactory results until a
radical reform has been introduced to it.
But it by no means follows that the school
ought to be removed to Berkeley. A Col
lege of Pedagogics sounds well, no doubt,
but the Normal School ought to be pre-
cisely that, and there is no good reason
why it should not be made that, without
moving it from its original position. The
Berkeleyan has in short advanced some ap.
parently good arguments for recognizing
the school, but none on behalf of its re,
moval which will bear examination.

should have raised them above the posi-
bility of association with such thin sophis-
tries. If the present Legislature desires to
promote the well being of this State, it will
assuredly not put upon the statute books a
revenue law which ignores equity, or
which seeks to "lessen the rate of taxa
tion " by clapping an impost upon thrift
and industry, and making wastefulness
the most prudent policy.

FOOL OR KNAvE.

There seems to be good deal OF doubt
IS to whether Acklin, of Louisiana, is a
fool or a knave. His recent conduct in
the House, when his own case was un-
der discussion, appears to favor the former
hypothesis. It is stated that when its
reference to the Judiciary Committee was
novel, he attempted to vote upon the mo-
ton himself, and that he evidently enioyed
the notoriety he had acquired. As the
reputation he has gained is that of a
drunken debauchee who insults unprotected
women in the grossost manner, it seems
scarcely possible that he would be proud
of it if he were kuave. A fool, however,
would be very apt to think it flattering,
and in fact would be likely to behave very
much as Acklin has throughout. 1t is
thought now that he viii be expelled. Not,
we presume, because his character is too
bad for Congress, but because he is too
stupid to take any pains to conceal his bad
character.

The assumption that the taxable prop
erty of the State can be increased in the
manner proposed is, moreover, delusion.
1t contemplates no increase of property.
What it contemplates is the assessment of
the same property twice. The seventy
five millions here spoken of has no ex-
istence outside the Imagination of the mi
nority When the franchise and real and
personal property of all corporations has
been assessed, every atom of actual prop
erty has been reached, and any attempt to
create new values after this must result in
taxing something a second time. The
natural and inevitable effect of such a
fiscal policy would be to drive capital out
of the combinations which make it liable
to such an unjust impost. 1t is probable
that at the end of twelvemonth it
would be impossible for the Assessor
to find that fictitious seventy-five mill
ions on which the minority base their
argument. The superstition that people
will patiently endure such grave and
fragrant determinations is one of the faI-
lacies which seem to go naturally with
propositions of this kind. But it is clear
that here the means of evasion are at least
as accessible as the means of enforcing
double taxation, and we do not think that
the effect of forcing capital and savings out
of their present active and useful employ
ments would be likely to conduce greatly
to the welfare of the State In fact, the
argument for double taxation is SO weak as
to approach puerility, and We are surprised
to find indorsing it the names of men whose
intelligence and whose habits of thought
