During the sessions Of the Legislature at
Olympia the committee clerkships, or at
least those which require no labor except
drawing the salary, are given as brides to
newspaper correspondents. who in return
puff the msmbers Of the committee and
gloss over their shortcomings. In Wash
ington City congressman secure the APP
polntmsnt Of their mistrssses to clerks in
the departments. The case of Congress
man Breckinridge, of Kentucky, is fresh
in the public mind. and that of Congress-
man Taulbee, killed while attacking a cor
respondent who exposed his moral rotten
ness. IL not yet forgotten. In some
states legislators have their mistresses
appointed 70 committee clerkships. In
Oregon the custom became so scandalous
. few years ago that the state protested in
dignantiy. Representative Cornelius r.

The city comptroller takes exception TO
certain statements made relative TO the
financial policy of the city in the present
emergency. IL Is gratifying to have some
member Of the administration assume re-
sponslbility for the policy Of the admins
tration and for the present condition OF
the municipal treasury. The comptroller
states that ''it Is true that my report SHOWS
the actual amount Of cash In the city
treasury 10 be s3o9. 70s.o7."
Since the comptroller Is 30 ready to
assert the amount that should be in the
city treasury according to his report, he
will doubtless be equally ready 20 tell the
public just what amount actually l. an the
city treasury subject to the control Of the city
officials.
The following statement furnished by
the city comptroller gives in detail the
condition of the different municipal funds:

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

The year promises to be prosperous
one to our city, because, on the whole,
the land will bring forth abundance. The
worlds financial troubles may make
money hard 10 get for investment, but
this does not indicate that there Is less
money, and when the financial strain is
relieved times will be better than ever
To be prepared for better times should
be the aim OF our community. Never
was there a time more auSpiciOus for the
Inauguration of needed public words than
now. The contemplation of a system OF
sewers and water works thereby securing
To our city the public health. and one Of
the necessary elements of life at mini
mum cost to the people, gives life to the
best hopes of all.
One of the draw backs of San Antonio is
the private ownership Of its water sup
ply: one of the causes that has delayed
and hampered the erection of large pub
lie buildings. is the lack of modern sewer
age. Men Of enterprise have sought our
suburban property for investment, be-
cause Of the lack of sewers; our streets
are being built up, after fashion, but no
one can calculate on the future. Our
streets have been paved, with the GER
tainty of being torn up, over and over
again. Inc IdISo neJDOuS vi Iue pdSI
must come to stand. The peoples
money must not be wasted in eNpedients'
1t is no small item that the financial
records of the city disclose four millions
of money spent in eight years. Have not
the peope-our easy going people-been
generous in their contributions to NUM-
cipal support? And now they must make
a real beginning.
When our streets are again torn uD,
everything should go under ground that
| is REQUIRED in other modern cities; this in
cludeS electric wires. The powerful cor.
porations that now disfigure every street
in our city with unSightly poles should be
required to do as they are required to dc
in other ctieS-get under ground IL these
poles are allowed to stand, tax them as
| they do in other cities. Fair warning
should be given on all these points. 1t is
useless to expect that our people will be
content with any arrangement not sane
toned by other municipalities, of equal
| Importance.
Q
City governments are instituted for the
| benefit Of the people. The people pay
the cost of their support, the people
alone should be consulted as to how a
municipal government should be run. II
| is a mistake to assume that city govern
ment is only for the benefit of few cor
porate monOpolies.
