THE CHARITIES BILL.

The bill for the reorganization OF the State
charities system, finally agreed upon and intro
duced yesterday in the legislature by Senator
Ellsworth, contains the essential features Of the
reform proposed by Governor OdeIl. His plan
was more radical than many of the people in
terested in the present management and in
spection Of the institutions thought wise, and
fl is fortunate that it has been possible to har-
monize the differing views and secure agree
ment on plan for systematic business admin
istration of the State charities as a whole
without changing the character of the State
Board of Charities. This body performs a
double function, and part of its work might
have been sacrificed by any legislation trans
forming it into administrative department
It is not only the inspector Of State institutions
but also the inspector Of private charitable
establishments, and large extension of its execu-
tive powers might make it less efficient in its
work OF supervising private institutions It is

time the way is prepared for n definite policy

place Of the old lack Of sycem which made in
situations rivals in log rolling and extravaganza.
The most important features of the proposed
law are provisions creating a fiscal supervision

years the separate institutions have been run
