THE MUNICIPALITIES CONVENTION.

c ECRETARY MASON'S report of the work
accomplished by the League Of Californian
- municipalities during the past year affords
ample grounds for supporting high expectations OF
even better work in the year to come The attend
ance upon the league convention has been excep-
tionally good. The gathering is not only large. but
is thoroughly representative OF the progressive NUM-
cpaites OF the State and the of the proceedings
shows earnest desire to bring about among the
cities OF the State that cordial cooperation which
essential to the best results
Every step in municipal progress under our sys-
TEN OF government has to be preceded by campaign
OF education for the purpose OF convincing the peo-
pie OF the benefits to be derived from it Not until
a majority OF the voters in any instance, and very
frequently not until two-thirds OF them, have been
brought to understand the value OF improvements
can anything OF extensive nature be undertaken
That fact renders the educational work OF municipal
politics important feature in our government and
gives high value TO whatever aids it. The work of
the League OF municipalities is distinctly beneficial
in that way. The present convention for example
even il II do more will at least have the effect OF
directing public attention to municipal problems and
thus prepare the way for better understanding OF
them when they arise in any issue OF local develop
ment
AS was we'll said by Mayor Snow of Oakland in
speaking OF the future work of the league: Less
knowledge of municipal affairs than we as officers
possess would make pessimists of us all Public
opinion is so slow to be won, misunderstanding of
the real intent of municipal legislation is so common
II is OF the greatest importance that the citizen be
informed OF the successful efforts of other cities be-
fore he gives up in despair for his own" That worJ,
OF instruction the league is carrying out with marked
success There can be no doubt that improvement in
one cit tends To
emulate the example, and when the cooperation Of
strong body OF official support is given such efforts
have a much better chance OF success than would
otherwise attend them. That support is assured
through the league, and every municipality in Cali
forna has reason to give thanks 20 the enterprsinr
and public-spirited officials who have promoted it
and are making it more and more widely useful

THE COST OF WAR.

| Ma ANY estimates have been made OF the
! economic losses of Nearly all the great
4 national debts have been created by war; So
large have many OF these debts become that the pay
ment OF the principal has been abandoned and only
the interest taken Of in the annual budget The
debt OF England is almost entirely war debt, and
every campaign adds to it. Her present aggression
against the South African republics has cost S5oooo
600, which is added to her burdens as permanent
charge upon her people, and it may easily many
times that sum before she enjoys peace with honor
in the Dark Continent All the other European ma
tons grooming under war debts and the annual
charge OF ornaments which yearly increase in their
weight and cost
The United. States is the only country that has un-
deraken 10 pay off war debt The cost OF our Civil
War left nearly two billions of debt upon US This
had steadily declined until it fell below the billion
line and its extinction seemed to be in sight But
now the national debt has turned and has risen above
that line, and how far it may go in the wrong direc-
ton foresee.
An examination of this countrys balance-sheet
will enlighten the taxpayer upon the cost of war The
total income of the United States treasury for the
fiscal year ending June go 1892 was S6IooS2 oo4 az
The total outgo for the same period was Szoo.oo3-
5o4 OF, leaving deficit of $SoIII,s5o g. which of
course must be made up by taxation
When the expenditures are dissected the war cost
comes into startling prominence. OF the whole ex-
penditure $4o3o75,2I2 81 for war including the
pension payment. This left only $zozoIS3s1 81 to be
expended for the ordinary, proper purposes of civil
government The total outstanding national debt
Is SIoS7, oo4427 o. the highest point reached since
1882 For twenty one years prior to the beginning
OF the Spanish Federal taxation had varied from,
81 so to S. so per head Of population The taxation
per capita in 1893 s. So and the expenditure
S. 90 per capita For the fiscal year ending June 20
1902 the taxation So 81 and the expenditure
s. o5 per capita.
Under the Hayes administration the per capita ex-
pendrture was from 81 % to S. 90; under Arthur it
was s. O. to s. "a; under Clevelands first term it
was s. p to s. So; under Harrison it was S. o. 20
IS y; under Clevelands second term it began at
S. 81 fell to 81 90 and closed at S. or The average
under those five Presidential terms was 81 o. This
has risen now, due to expenditures SOLELY to s. o.
in the last fiscal year, with prospect OF going still
higher before our military troubles are over
In view OF its every effort to hinder the out
break OF war should deserve the sympathy OF tax
payers in every country. The expense comes finally
out OF the substance of the people and is not Offset
as rule, by any compromising benefit.
