THE SUPREME COuRT
Cost of Maintaining State Government
on Wheels,

on wheels.
Woodland Daily Democrat, Feb. 3d.l
A few years ago someone suggested
that in the interest of economy and as a
matter of convenience to litigants, terms
of the Supreme Court should be in San
Francisco and Los Angeles. as well as
Sacramento. The project seemed to be a
practical one, and it was adopted without
that serious consideration which such a
radical change deserved. An experience
of thirteen years ought to convince the
taxpayers as well as the litigants that it
was bad change.
The law ought to be amended so as to
require that all sessions of the Supreme
Court of the State shall be held in Sacra-
mento. San Francisco and Los Angeles
attorneys, of course, will object, and they
viii assign as reason that the expense
of travelling to and from the State Capitol
from remote parts Of the State is so great,
that poor people will be practically barred
from taking an appeal to that body
There is nothing in this objection, as can
easily be demonstrated. Under present
arrangements, no litigants are saved the
expense of travel, except residents of
San Francisco and Los Angeles, and the
records show that in every case that has
reached the Supreme Court from these
two cities, the witnesses and attorneys
on both sides could have been furnished
transportation and board at the expense
of the State, and the cost would have
been nothing like so great as it has been
to pay the travelling expenses of the
Judges, and the rent of extra rooms and
other incidentals. The following table
will give some idea of the extra expense
incurred by holding sessions of the Su-
preme Court in San Francisco and Los
Angeles. 1t should be borne in mind
that this table does not include salaries
and the cost OF maintaining the regular
library in Sacramento. 1t includes
nothing but travelling expenses, office
rent in San Francisco and Los Angeles,
cost of maintaining extra library, etc., all
of which would be saved if all sessions of
the court were held in Sacramento:

need for the proper transaction of public
business, for the defense of the coast line,
and its treatment for the accommodation
of the commerce of the Nation. and for
the discharge of the undenied duty of the
General Government to preserve the very
few free highways of the Nation in Cali
fornia-the navigable waters of this por-
ton of the common country.
But when the argument is advanced in
resistance of claims put forward for Fed
eral appropriations for works upon Cali
fornia territory that we are making ex-
cessiye demands, it becomes perfectly
legitimate to quote statistics in refutation.
Thus Senator FELTON, shows that since
1885 Sl1, 100000 have been expended on
public works in Illinois, as against ST.
100000 in California; that two buildings
alone in New York cost the General Gov
ernment Sl9,3 900, and that in Louisiana
S4,o00,O0O were expended, while nearly
$4,000, 900 were spent upon single public
building in Massachusetts.
In the matter of river and harbor ap-
preparations there are nine States with
less coast mileage in the aggregate than
California, which from 1859 to 1892 re-
ceived for harbor work over $40, ,0O0, 900,
while up to 1882 California waters re-
ceiyed but 81, ,493, 900, and since then but
S2,300,000. For the Mississippi River
alone since 1881 S24, 100000 have been ex-
pended, whereas California rivers have
received but $726, 900, and that only for
current work, such as snagging, etc., no
been done.
Yet for the decade from 1881 to 1891
California paid into the national treasury
the sum of Sis, 900. Herein no ac-
count has been taken of the enormous
addition the mines of California have
made to the national wealth and strength,
nor any account of the beneficence to the
whole Union of the building of this State
upon the Pacificlshores of the Nation.
If those who oppose California's modest
claims for the prosecution of work in this
State by the Federal Government in its
own interest propose to base their resist
ance upon the comparative showings of
past expenditure and past contribution,
California can well meet them upon that
ground, and justify quadrupling of all
her requests. But the State has not asked
anything as such, nor for aiding the pros
ecution Of any work incumbent upon
her, nor for the expenditure within her
borders of single dollar by the General
Government, except upon the basis of
Federal obligation and economy. The
harbors, rivers and navigable bays in
California are those of the United States
Government, upon which the duty is in
cumbent to preserve them for the free
uses of all the people, and over which
waters the Federal Government always
has had jurisdiction to prevent their OBJ
struction or degradation, and to conserve
their usefulness.

1t will thus be seen that in thirteen
years we have expended $263, 104 rs for
holding sessions of the Supreme Court in
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
For the thirteen years the average an
nual expense has been S20, ,23S 81. But
the expense is gradually increasing, and
the average for the past five years has
been 81, ,S97 81.
The necessity for retrenchment in the
expense of maintaining the Supreme
Court will be more apparent after an ex-
animation of the expense in each State.
California ranks twenty-second in popu-
lation and the total expense of the Su-
preme Court is S264, ,166. New Jersey
ranks eighteenth in population, but the
total cost of maintaining her Supreme
Court is only Sl51, 800. The population of
Illinois is nearly four times that OF Cali
fornia, but the expense of the Supreme
Court is less by more than $751; 900 per
annum. New York's population is nearly
eight times that of California, but the

twice as large as that of California. And
