THE STATE A UNIT.
Stronger Love of the State as a Unit
Needed
lFrom lthe OakIand TrihnneN

(F'rom the Oakland Tribune.)
The Record Union" has a timely ar
ticle on localisms in California. Prob
ably these We're never stronger than
they are now, and never so much need
ed to be neutralized by the force of a
new public sentiment These localisms
crop out in all parts of the State. With
in certain limits, they are good. Beyond
that, they become the meanest kind of
sectionalism. There is for instance.
the local pride and interest in the town
or county where the citizen resides He
may seek for the best things with a
laudable motive. Local pride brings
about many enterprises. public build
ings, street railways, schools, and
hundred other things that go to make
town and county attractive. and are
quite within the sphere of his good in
fluence.
But when an attempt is made to stir
up sectional jealousies, to array one part
OF the State against the other, then
wrong is done to the whole common
wealth. This tendency is more prorni-
nent in Southern California than else
where. Some of the local journals seem
to have adopted the theory that the
southern part of the State had nothing
in common with the northern part. This
divisive view has been carried to such
extremes that a division of California
has been openly advocated in that quar-
ter. This open cultivation of section
alism is neither creditab BILE TO the judg-
ment nor to the patriot tism, if any ex-
lists, on the part of these sectionaHsts.
Nor is the same spirit any more
creditable when it exists in any other
part of the State. Only a short time
ago a plan was initiated to remove
the Capitol from Sacramento to San
Jose, or to some other town not far from
the Bay. Citizens of San Jose were
ready with pledges to build a Capitol
without cost to the State. II was an in
stance of rank and unwholesome sec
tionalism and altogether unworthy of
any people. The citizens of one town
were ready to injure another for selfish
purposes. The Capitol did not remove
an inch from Sacramento, and probably
never Will.
Another illustration of this sectional
feeling is noted in the tits that are
made here and there against the Uni
The record-union., 1897-01-21

versity, and especially against the Ag-
riculturaI Department. Most of them
are instigated by a sectional spirit.
The largest number have originated in
Southern California, the Herald" of
Los Angeles having led off in this i'll
advised foray, evidently for the pur-
pose of detaching the Agricultural Col
lege and establishing it as an indepen-
dent school in southerly location. No
such change will ever be brought about.
But the spirit which inspires all such
schemes is sectional and miSchievolIs.
In former times there was a great
dead of local jealousy on the part of
the mining counties. The contempt
with which many of these noun
taineers could speak of the Cow Coun-
ties still fingers in that part of the
State But this was comparatively
harmless. 1t did not culminate in any
hurtful sectionalism, although there
was a temporary clashing of interests
when the valley counties demanded
that the miners should build restraining
dams But there has been a gradual
adjustment of differences creditable
alike to both. The miner and the farmer
are both contributing to the wealth and
prosperity of the State. These inter
ests are blended in common with all
others.
What is needed Is a stronger love of
the State as a unit, and less of the
narrow spirit of sectonalism that is
perpetually fighting for a particular To-
cality and cares little as to what fOr-
tune or misfortune falls to all other
places. Good citizenship takes in the
whole commonwealth and makes COM
mon cause for prosneritY

Colusa Sun: Mr.. Dague of Ventura
publishes a proposed law ito give EN-

January 1st gives numerous commen-

has some good points about it. 1t talks
about a. county farm without having
furnished any machinery for one; 1t is
going to put men at work on the roads
without providing how they are to be
boarded or cared for. If the writer of
1t had commenced to think about how
lt would work in practice he would
have found a very expensive piece OF
machinery. To hire a Superintendent
for every man who happened to be out
OF work, to find a boarding place for
the two or the three or the five at the
right place to do profitable work on the
roads would make road work rather
expensive. There is hardly enough of.

for a law
1t is to be hoped that some one will
take up the matter of the county farm
and arrange a general plan Of govern
self-supporting, and the element of
charlty taken entirely away from them.
Under no pretext whatever should any
wages, great or small, in money be
pald TO any one working on one of
these farms. The State should never
put Itself in the position of hiring it's
cllzens simply for the purpose of fur

only when it has something profitable

wages and require just such hours as
the market commands. Opportunity to
earn bread is all the State owes to any
aple-bodied person. Every man born
into the world is entitled to that OPP
portunity, and misfortune, or even
tauIt, cannot deprive him of the right
to that opportunity.

Last Saturday was a legal holiday.
His excellency, Our Jim," so proclaim
ed and the presumption is that it was
in fact a holiday which the people de-
voted to praising God for the defeat of
the funding bill and in drinking steam
beer to the same effect. AS matter of
fact, few knew that the day was holy
and no one paid the smallest attention
to it. The proclamation was grand
stand play on the part of the Governor
with the intent Of winning applause
from the galleries. 1t was petty and
SILLY. 1t was petty because the great
State of California cannot knock off
work and waste a day for every cause,
and it was silly because the victory has
not yet been won. There has been no
final disposition of the controversy be-
tween the Government and the rail
roads. Even now the legislators are at
work on another bill. and it is extremely
likely that commission will be selected
with full power to make final adjust
ment with those companies by funding
