NEW WESTERN CONGRESSMAN
How Grove l.. johnson at Once Se-
cured Following. s2as.


(From the Stockton independently
Congressman johnson has broken a
record, as Lodge of Massachusetts did
in the Senate, by disregarding the
moldy precedent that new members
must, like little children, 'fbe seen, but
not heard" The New York Herald
of the 9Th inst. describes how Johnson
electrified the House by defying the
Speaker as well as precedent, and re-
fusing to be governed by caucus
agreement to which he was not q party
1t says he won all the new members
who think they were sent to Congress
for business and who don't want to be
mere appendages to party leaders and
that they will probably give him the
support that the old members and the
Speaker would deny him. One of the
rev members from Western State is
quoted as saying he would like to take
all the Eastern members on an excur-
sion trip across the continent that they
might learn something of the country
of which they seem to be so ignorant
as to act as if there was nothing worth
noticing west of the Allegheny range.
Johnson should be kept in Congress
until he fully inpresSes that body with
the truth that what Atlantic Coast
members regard as the West is really
the most important part of the nation
The Atlantic Coast States have thirty
Senators out of ninety, and 145 Con-
eressmen out of 357, so that what they
consider the West sends just ninety
nine more Senators and Representa-
tives to Congress than the East. The
States west of the Mississippi are rep
resented in Congress by six Senators
more than the Atlantic States have,
but they. have only ninety-three Con-
gressmen to 145 for the more populous
States of the Atlantic Coast, hence the
East, with the assistance of the Central
States, can ignore the western half OF
the nation in any matter upon which
they combine. AS the States west of
the Alleghenies are all interested in the
Improvement of rivers 1t should be COM
paratively easy for the Californians
in Congress to combine with the Rep
resentatiyes and Senators from those
States to get adequate apr=op oprlations
for all as well as for public buildings
and other purposes in which their in
terests are much alike. Mr.. Johnson
has begun well and having won the
admiration and support of the new
members he is likely to be successful,
for he is wise as he is bold and will
make still more friends by his manly
and Independent course and viii hold
tnem by his wisdom

r underpays for the skilled clerical

or underpays for the skilled clerical
service.
These are small matters it may be
said, but it is the sum Of small matters
that causes the State of California to
expend something like million dol
lars a year, if not more. than is abso-
lutely necessary to sustain the func-
tions of a State of this importance, and
that makes taxation here extravagant-
", unbearably high, and State servitors
disproportionately great in number, to
the number and ability of the taxpay-
ers.
The State is to-day paying stenog-
raphers SIS such who do not write
stenography. clerks who have not cler-
ical ability, deputies in some stations
mere than principals in others. 1t is
fleeing a lawyer for board who has
absolutely nothing to do but wear an
official title, and a Secretary for the De-
bris Commissioner whose duties. if
there are any worth mentioning, could
be performed by a clerk at $500 less
cost. While the items are SMALL they
will serve to show where. the money
goes, if it is explained why walters at
the Stockton Insane Asylum are paid
so much more than like servants at
Highland, Ulxiah, Agnews and Napa,
while the laundrymen at the Agnews,
Highland and Napa asylums receive
SO much higher salaries than those in
the very much larger establishment at
Stockton.
These are small items, to be sure, but
it should not be necessary to repeat
that the great successes of the world are
made up of small ones, and that SO. too,
are the great losses. Since we expend
nearly $450,000 a year upon outside
asylums and charities; $2S5, 600 upon
the Judicial Department; $21 600 and
upwards upon the Executive Depart
ment; nearly $150,0U0 in the matter of
State printing; S231, 900 for State-con-
Quoted charity institutions; nearly
$4,000 for the Commissioner of Pub
| lie Works and his department; Schools
of Industry $150000; nearly $4,000
| for the Railroad Commission; over
$4,000 for Normal Schools; nearly
$4,000 in beautifying, paving, fencing,
planting, grading and carrying out the
adopted plans for completion Of the
long-neglected Capitol grounds; S71S,-
600 for insane asylums; 81, 100000 for
public schools, exclusive of the Uni
versity and it's colleges; $257,00 for
State Prisons; for Mining and Road
Bureaus and works nearly $S5,U00; for
4 various charitable and dependent insti-
tutions $350,000, and so on, until the
States expenses, amount each year to
much more than five and a quarter
millions of dollars-since we expend
all this and more. we insist that the
State Board of Examiners cannot bet
ter serve the State than by discovering
how much of this expenditure might be
saved to the State under a more eco
] nonic schedule, and still the highest,
best interests of the people be served;
and this saving is to be effected quite
as much in the small as in the heavier
items.

ination Of roads, and its county meet
ings held under the law successful. The
bureau has replied. accepting the offer,
and informing the wheelmen Of its
meetings and routes. In this matter
the wheelmen can be of invaluable as
sistance. No one better knows the con-
dition Of road or street than the man
who rides over it on bicycle. No one
knows the advantages of a good road
better, for his wheeling puts him into
a train of thought and study that opens
up to him the whole subject of the
economies of the good roads gospel.
The free market proposition is rap
idly gaining friends and favor in San
Francisco Why should it not? It is
meritorious on the face of it. European
and Eastern cities long since proved
the worth of such schemes.
The record-union., 1896-01-22

1t is not at all creditab1e to the in
telligence of the press that nine out of
ter of the newspapers commenting
upon the decision of an Eastern court
that the estate of a wife is responsible
for the support of an invalided hus-
band express their surprise and an
nounce that the decision is something
new in law. The truth is, as every we'll
informed citizen ought to know, that
such always has been the law. It is
common sense; it is simple justice If the
wife becomes destitute, shall not her
husband be required by the law, he
having the ability, to provide for her?
Why, then, shall not the wife, having
money in hand, support her husband
who is incapable Of furnishing himself
with the necessities of life? 1t would
be surprising state of the law indeed
if a wife were permitted to live in
comfort or luxury and with plenty to
spare, while her husband was supported
in the Almshouse or State Asylum at
public cost. Newspapers which mani
fest surprise at the revelation" under
the recent decision simply expose their
| ignorance, and the fact that they do
not seek for the reason Of things before
reeling off opinions.

navigation and carriage of products to
market-indeed, that relate intimately
to the peopling of the State, the aug
mentation of its general wealth and the
advancement of all it's interests, is a
sectional matter? How under the sun
and stars it would have been possible to
have crowded anything about Southern
California harbors into a memorial to
Congress to prevent the destruction OF
the only navigable rivers within the
State?
Is the sectional campaign to again
open, are we to be again disgraced by
the ud-throwing and narrow minded
ness of ten years ago, when the south
was arrayed, under mistaken idea Of
the need therefor, against the rest of
the State, and vilifcation and nisrep-
resentation were the order of the day?
