abused by the officers, and soon n

Az ERA OF LAYISHNESS

How much the wholesome lesson of economy
which Mr.. odell intends TO enforce upon the
State is needed becomes evident the moment
an appeal is made in these days TO ANYBODY
connected with State enterprise to consider
The comparative cost of any two propositions
before him. Almost every one Of the COM
missions which swarm about Albany considers
1t entirely beneath its dignity to think Of saving
a lew thousand dollars AT the sacrifice of some
lad or fancy. We do not mean 10 say that
these commissioners are not honest and
patriotic men. The greater part of Them are

These Hospital Commissioners also show fine

showed in creating Versailles. Other sites may

They are simply following the habit engendered
by a bad method. We need more systematic
oversight OF expenditures, a consolidation of ad-
ministering bodies, Capitalization OF control
over State institutions, putting an end to the
custom of running asylums, hospitals and
schools with a view TO erecting as big build
ings possible and spending as much money
as can be logrolled out of the treasury to puff
up local pride and enrich local tradesmen. There
is room for a sweeping reform in this direc-
ton, and the people are in a temper 10 support

OUR SAYINGS BANKS ARE STRONG.

The savings banks in this city and State are
almost without exception in sound condition.
and foolish listeners TO senseless rumor could
hardly have found time when there was less
cause for anxiety with regard TO these admir-
able institutions. 1t is generally believed that
the run upon the Harlem bank is over. 1t never
had reason or excuse. New-York is proud OF
the management of its savings banks. The re-
ports filed at Albany full and trustworthy,
and are published often enough to reassure the
most timid. Official figures exhibiting the de
tails of the operations of these banks for the
first half year of 1900 were set forth in the
daily newspapers soon after they had been
compiled. and they were of nature to con-
found sensation mongers and TO silence pur-
veyors of injurious gossip.
The laws in this State are so precise in re-
stricting the investments of savings bank funds
that trustees and other officers can bring no
serious losses upon the depositors unless they
are deliberate criminals who make up their
minds TO violate the plain provisions of the
statutes. 1t is conceded everywhere that the
men who handle the money deposited are in
nearly all instances faithful 10 their trust and
their number includes many of the most
hOnored of citizens Most Of the savings
banks in this State are strong fortreSses of
finance. Even a Wall Street panic cannot i'm
pair their solidity. Their reports show that
they are gaining in every way year after year.
Their funds are securely invested. they cannot
under the present acts engage in rash enter
prises, and their managers keep a safe margin
of surplus reserve. The hundreds of mill
ions of dollars which they hold in charge for
the frugal masses of our people are judiciously
cared for
In the early seventies the statute as to the
investment OF savings bank funds was not
nearly so strict as it is now and many specula-
tive schemers founded new banks or procured
election TO the boards of trustees OF several
then in existence. Some of the worst rascals of
the Tweed era succeeded in obtaining control of
the deposits in a number of such institutions,
and quickly squandered the hand earnings OF
the poor. OF course, failures followed The
bankruptcies of the Mutual Benefit, Sixpenny
and Peoples savings banks of a quarter of a
century ago were especially disgraceful. Those
calamities created for a time feeling OF dis
trust OF savings banks generally. But the
Legislature passed laws TO remedy the evils
which were then so harmful. A better day
came and for n couple Of decades, and espe-
cially in the nineties, now ending, the savings
banks have earned a full measure Of public
confidence. They are now stronger than ever
before, and they are doing excellent service for
the industrious and far sighted millions among
our wage earners.

sons; but even Germany has a larger House and
a smaller ratio than we. II from foreign coun-
tries we turn 10 our own States and their lesis-
latures for examples the same rule holds good
though IT'S application greatly varies New
York has a ratio Of $4,000. Connecticut has
Representative for each $500 persons. Pennsyl-
vania one for each 81 coo, New-Jersey one for
each 81 600 and so on. II is 10 be observed
however that in these States the numbers or
legislative Representatives are fixed by constl-
tutional enactment. and are not varied with
each reapporuonment
Undoubtedly Il is desirable for representation
ip State legislatures to be based on much
smaller ratio than in Congress. Ii would be
absurd 10 send 10 Washington such an army OF
Representatives as the Nation would have on
the Connecticut basis or even on that Of New
York. II is doubtful even if it is desirable to
swell our Congress 10 the numerical size OF
those OF Europe. The British Parliament needs

nearer 10 the people" than our Congress, be-
cause IL largely fulhls the functions Of Con

may be said Of the French and German houses.
The experience of the latter two countries has
been that larger houses apt TO be unwieldy
and Ineffective. if not riOtous. Such consider
a1ions will doubtless be entertained at Wash
ington. 1t may be deemed best slightly to
increase the number of Representatives; but
the ratio will probably be still more increased.
To enlarge the House in proportion with the
growth OF the Nation would be impracticable.
