THE TAXPATER DOESN'T FEEL IT.

Every time a movement for retrench-
ment in public expenditures material
ICES to point that definite propositions
are advanced for cutting down the out
lay for particular purposes the parties
Immediately affected raise the cry that
the proposed relief is so infinitesimal
that if secured the taxpayer would not
feel 1t. This is the favorite subterfuge
urged by public employees when threat
| ened with the abolition of sinecure
offices or the equalization of their pay
with that of people similarly situated in
private business houses. Cut every
salary on the city pay roll % per cent
ana, we are told, the taxpayer will not
feel it.
Every time an effort is made to in
| crease salaries in any department of
government we meet the same argu-
ment, "the taxpayer won't feel it," OF
course If the point holds good against
retrenchment it must be equally tenable
In favor of raising the pay of public
employees. If we accept it we ought to
keep increasing salaries right along.
According to this theory, the taxpayer
is a very peculiarly constituted person.
He only feels extravaganza when in
dulged in by the other fellow. He only
appreciates relief from his burdens
when the knife strikes some other de-
partment. He can't feel little things at
all. He is sensitive only to big, hard
bumps. If you only bleed him little
at time you can take all he has and
he will never know it.
The question of retrenchment is not
question of making any particular
set of public employees bear the brunt of
hard times. 1t is the equalization of
the public burdens. The taxpayers do
not want public servants to work for
nothing or to work for less than they
earn. But they insist that if the
salaries in private employments have
gone down those in public employments
should follow. They are demanding re-
trenchment all along the line.

CUT TIE CLERKS OFE.

At the beginning OF the legislative
session the people Of Nebraska wit
messed the usual disgraceful scramble
OF the members of both houses after
places for their friends and henchmen
as doorkeepers, ianitors and clerks.
The result was just as might have been
expected. The pay rolls of both houses,
of the senate perhaps TO worse extent
than of the house, were heightened and
stuffed beyond all reasonable limits and
weighed down with supernumeraries,
male and female, whose chief work has
consisted In drawing their salary war
rants. A pretended repentance in the
senate in the early weeks prccipitated
q spasmodic attempt at economy, but 1t
flashed in the pan and the needless en-
ployes kept their places. In the house
the number of employees is something in
excess of the number of representatives
In the senate the number of employees
is three times that of the number of
senator's Each senator has practically
three other persons employed at the
The question is, Why are all these
supernumerarics retained after the
work which formed the excuse for en-
ploying them has ceased? What have
the clerks to all these committees been
doing since the time limit for the intro
duction of new bills was passed now
twenty odd days ago? Was not the ap-
pointmcnt of the sitting committees an
announcement that there was prac
tically nothing more for the standing
committees, with the exception of that
on engrossed bills, to do? The little
that the legislative committees have
been doing for week or ten days past
and that they have yet to do could all
be attended to by half dozen clerks
under instructions to render such serv-
ice as is required by any committee.
We are glad to see that the house has
taken the lead in cutting off these use

with promise of more to follow. This,
however, is but beginning. If the
house can dismiss clerks at the present

complete its work the senate can do the
same. In fact the senate could if it
would, go much further, because it has
n proportionately larger number of en-
ployes. AS the latter are employed by
the day without reference to the dura-
ton of the session they have no claim
to employment after the need of their
services has stopped. 1t is similar
to case Of the tail wagging the dog.
There is no more use for further en-
ployment of four out of five of the legis-
lative clerks than there is for n fifth

duction of the last few years, particu-
larly In this country, the estimates of
our Agricultural department having
been discredited by later and more nc-
curate information as too low. There
has recently been published by the de-
partment n statement which Is called
IAN attempt to show the worlds wheat
production for the years 1891 to 1894"
This shows n steadily increasing supply
from 1850, 10000 bushels in 1891 to
$500, 121 900 In 1894. The totals for the
world should undoubtedly be consider
ably larger than these, in view of the
fact that the Agricultural department
has underestimated the crops of the last
four years. Correcting the depart
mcnt's figures for this country in ac-
cordancc with the generally received
estimates and the totals for the world
will stand at 2,433000,000 bushels in
1891 and 2,64J,OO0,OO0 bushels in 1894,
an increase in the four years of 212,.
100000 bushels. The greatest growth
in the supply has come from South
America and Russia, the former fur
nishing iS,0O0,000 bushels of wheat in
1901 and 10i.OO0.0O0 in 1894, and the
latter 1GS, 100000 in 1891 and 100000, 900
in 1894. With these figures before them
nobody can have any difficulty in under
standing why the price OF wheat haa
declined.
1t would be somewhat hazardous to
venture prediction as to the Immediate
future of wheat. If the conditions in
Europe are as bad as represented the
price ought to improve, but it is not
wise to count too largely upon this 1t

What will the railroads of Nebraska
do toward prQyiding low rates of trans

are communities outside of the state
asking this question, and IL fair rates

settlers in our western counties. In
quiry at Des Moines revealed the fact
that the transportation rate from that
point to Perkins county Is 10 cents per
bushel of wheat offered as donation
to destitute farmers Such tariff is
absolutely prohibitory. 1t hardly stands
to reason that Nebraska roads are put
ting up such a bar to these shipments
for in doing so they stand in their own
light. The planting season will soon
have passed and gone. A bountiful
crop this season means heavy revenues
for the railways. Their managers must

And loathed his mannerisms.
She said his deferential air
