GRIN PLEASURE.

III Is noted that now and then an Idaho
EDITOR plucks up courage to congratulate
Inc people on having a state government
we imagine the boast has no heart in it.
certainly 1t arouses no pleasing sensations
IN the hearts of the masses-the great ma
1ority who hold no office and simply pay
the taxes. We have heard q number of
Idaho citizens talk about the state, and we
90 not now recall one who was iubilant,
though many have said they would gladly
return to territorial condition with all its
snnoyances and abuses. 1t has always
seemed to us that our neighbor asked for
ana got little more than she really
wanted when she was admitted to the
Union and thrown upon her own resources.
The politicians were well enough pleased,
Tor they were installed in offices with sal
airy attachments. but the common folks
nave never been able to discover that the
government which is costing them SO much
more is greatly superior to the old order of
things. Time, Of course, will bring relief.
As the population increases and resources
are developed, the burden will become
lighter, when the advantages CT statehood
Will appear, but the first few years of state
government in Idaho are not likely to be
Joyous ones for the masses. The three
votes which the gem of the mountains
will cast in the electoral college will be
found to be pretty expensive ballots.

UTAll SCHOOL FINANCES.

A recent census bulletin makes an ex-
hibit OF the school finances of this territory
for the year 1890. The showing is credit
able as compared with many of the states.
notwithstanding the fact that Utah has no
school lands or other fund from which to
draw support for the cause of education.
Every dollar for school houses and ex-
penses must come from taxation. The bull
letin makes the following showing for last
year: Pupils enrolled. 1882; teachers
wages and miscellaneous. S245, 004; per
capita of pupils enrolled, 1914; total school
expenditures, s39i, 81; per capita of pupils
enrolled, s10.s5; per capita of population,
$50.
But while the exhibit for the territory is
highly creditable, we fear so much cannot
be said for some of the counties. ln the
matter of school buildings if we take out
three or four counties the others would not
make very good showing. or the S945,-
9S2 invested in school buildings and prop
erty, Salt Lake has 1916, 535, or more than
30 per cent OF the total, and of the total
expenditures, S39i,601 Salt Lake is credit
ed with STAG, 46l. or over 81 per cent.
Weber has Sic, 1897 in school buildings and
other property, Utah 1921, ESQ, Cache s53
$50. Summit SIS, 2i9, and no other county
reaches $50, 900. Utah leads Weber in the
matter of school expenditures, the total OF
tie former being s3S, 39 to S34, O44 of the
latter. Summit. with s27,37l, leads Cache
which expended s26,6l5.
tits thought that the territory will make
a much better exhibit in school matters for
1891 than for 1890. This will certainly be
the case with Salt Lake county.

THE POLICE FORCE.

IL Is probably true that more policemen
might be employed to good advantage in
tnls city. The town spreads over a good
oeal OF territory and away from the CEN
trai district the houses are not contiguous.
hundred more officers could be advan-
sageously posted about the city, and that
number in addition to the present force
might be employed to good purpose. But
the proposition is out of the question. Salt
Lake cannot afford to employ more police
men. Already the taxes are SO heavy that
lhey are burdensome, and all property
owners are groaning under the bond which
has been put upon them. To-day the
current expenses of the corporation
are IN excess of the revenue, AID
within year the income will
have to be increased in order to make
both ends meet" Interest on the growing
public debt must be met, and this should
be done without Resort to borrowing. To
ado TO the expense under the circumstances
would be alIdost criminal.
Nor is It absolutely necessary that the
police force should be increased. If the
present constabulary shall be intelligently
managed it can afford the protection de-
handed and make the city uncomfortably
warm for the thugs who infest the place.
One trouble has been that the police have
been employed largely for show purposes
The officers are permitted no sort of lati-

expected to try to enforce a respect for the
Jaw. IL is the common talk that the police
are not expected to make arrests EXCEPT for
petty onenses within their view, without
nrs' getting instructions from headquar-
ters, and some of the patrolner are cred
i.ed with saying that if they manifest a
