and debasing environment of the slums,
The State does assuredly owe something
to every child born to it, and the greatest
part of the debt is removal from influ-
ences antagonistic to good citizenship
and decent living. But the child owes as
much to the State. 1t owes it industry,
cleanliness and self-support, and if it
does not pay the debt it is more the fault
of society than of the debtor.
The fact that in some Of the greater
cities this whole subject has been brought
to the front by proposed ordinances pro-
hibiting the erection and maintenance OF
buildings for occupation by the poor
which are unsanitary in location, man
ner of construction or fittings; that lack
for air. light or good drainage and meth
dds of filth disposal; that provide under
ground living apartments, damp Sleep
ing-rooms, or insufficient area in any
rooms.
That municipalities may thus provide
in the exercise of their power to set up
and enforce police regulations has been
affirmed so often by tribunals of law that
it is no longer disputed. In short. the
text Of modern municipal preaching is
this: ''It shall be unlawful to be un-
cleanly,"

aple cltlzens OF sacramento, that a signal vic
tory Tor law and order will be achieved in this
instance. In this connection, the reflection
oDtrudeS itself that il Sacramento had been
less tolerant of lawlessness during the disor-
ders OF last summer she would have less law
Iessness on her hands at the present time.
OF that there can be no doubt. Quies-
cence under lawlessness, excusing viola
ton Of the rights Of property and person,
failure to enforce the laws because in a
particular instance some influence de-
mands their suspension, always bring
their harvest Of regret and punishment.
1t is not at all surprising that the lawless
element has felt encouragement in Sacra-
mento because the officers of the law last
summer failed of their duty and kow-
towed before lawlessness more distinct
and offensive to good order than any
thing now complained of.

EXPENSES OF STATE GOVERN
MENT.

The present Legislature has before it a
difficult task, one possibly requiring he
rolc treatment. 1t is hidden to reduce
The expenses of State government, which
far exceed the sum that reason would
Justify. 1t is not creditable to us.-eyen
admitting that we are and for many years
have been in the business of setting up
state institutions incident to new State
development. and which work and cost
will presently cease-that here tax-eating
1s so greatly larger than in older and far
more populous States. There must be
deep cutting and new Limitations applied
to our expense account; the people have
certainly instructed the Legislature to
that effect.
we may not expect. however, that this
1s to be done completely at one session.
IL VIII take California at least four years
to get her civil list and her cost bill into
the shape they ought to take. The people
expect much from the present Legislat-
ure, but not too much must be looked
for. The errors of the past have in sew
eral respects so far committed the State
that it is scarcely possible to free it at one
swoop.
There are some State institutions that
1t will be wise to close up and effect con-
solidations in their disposal; there are
some others that might be we'll aban-
doned once for all. There are commits
sions that should be abolished and others
the expenses of which may be materially
reduced without impairing their effi-
cheney.
= The State pays too much rent, and her
institutions are too greatly scattered
There are no two opinions in the older
states about the unwisdom of playing to
the vanity of localities, by locating State
institutions here and there, and regarding
them of more local than State concern.
The State expends an unreasonable sum
upon the INDECENT, whereas such burdens
should be brought more closely to the
people by making these benefactions
county charges, in the main.
But while it is conceded that there
should be retrenchment-very large re-
ductions-it will not be the part of wis
dom to proceed with too great haste.
Whatever is done in the directi on of
reforming our annual cost bill should be
done with very cool deliberation and
after careful weighing of all factors in
every case. Ruthless cutting might work
great hardships upon taxpayers, but that
there must be material retrenchment
goes now without saying.

RECLAINIING THE SLUMs,

A writer in the ReUieS Of ReUielcS says
it is the plain duty of society to take
scientific hold of the slums, precisely as
farmer would set about to drain low
and swampy piece of ground and re-
claim it to good use. Upon this text the
Los Angeles Times discourses ably and
wisely.
That idea of the text is not new. Gem
eral Booth of the Salvation Army sug-
gested it long ago, and has worked upon
that line for ten years and more In all
his tenement house reforms "cleanIi-
ness'' is the keynote. He believes that
abject misery and slum conditions can
not exist where cleanliness is enforced,
precisely as communities enforce sani-
tary laws and regulations.
fit is the business of society to see that
a street is broad enough that it is severed
and graded. that noxious pools are filled
and garbage heaps rendered innocuous,
and that offensive factories do not poison
the air of settled neighborhoods, why
should it not upon the same lines make
them light, air and the elevatng infiu-
ences of cleanliness? There is no poverty
SO dire that it excuses living in the
midst of filth. Society in its socialistic
advances has the power and the right to
compel landlords to afford even the
meanest tenement the benefit of the re-
moval of filth. It is just as reasonable
and proper to close low, damp cellars
against occupation by human beingsi as
it is TO abate any other nuisance that is
dangerous to and imposes cost upon a
community.
These matters are no longer theoretical,
they are practical and assertive. Commun-
tiles are as much bound in duty to them
selves to abolish slums as to conserve
any other order of cleanliness. But in
doing this they must provide ways and
means for the inhabitants of the cutters
to come up into the light of decency. IT
would be folly to dash water on fire for
it's extinguishment while another stood
by pouring in oil. If the slums are to be
abolished, enforced occupation for the
denizens of the slums must be the rule.
They must not be permanently pauper-
lied. or made the objects of a sickly
charity.
II children are born to the slums they
must not be permitted when taken out Of
them to become dependents. any more
than to remain in idleness In the criminal

The recent organization of actors to
work the exclusion of the melodeon eie-
ment from the stage is commendable.
The question is, Who is to fix the stand
ard of morality? Who among those now
on the stage and claiming to be worthy
is prepared to take the punishment that
will follow any effort to sift the chaff
from the wheat? The new union will
fail. Reformation of the stage will be ef-
fected, if ever, by outside influences, not
by the actor class for these simple rea-
sons: 1t lacks the moral courage, and it
is in abject slavery to the managers,
whose standard of propriety is mobile
and fashioned by the dollars in the box
office. no matter what the attraction that
draws them there.

The Vallejo Chronicle saws:

ANY movement to get rid of a lawless ele-
ment is commendable, but isn't it quite prob
able that Sacramento is pursuing a course
which, If successful. Will result only in sad
ding an intiiction upon some neighboring
town? We think Sacramento should dispose
OF its lawiess element by enforcing the laws of
the State relative to such cases. That county
is rich enough and ugly enough 10 keep its
own.
But the difficulty, neighbor, is that
these undesirable elements are not our
own. They came to us recently, and
quite in bunch, and not few of them
possibly from Solano County. But what
How did you find it out? We had thought
