time devoted by any of them to the public service the pay is very liberal, and they have ample time to devote to their own private business. Did the duties of the office require all their time the case would be different.
 Without doubt the very un- necessary liberality shown the officials of Santa Cruz county has its effect in making them over liberal, also, in dealing out the peoples money to others. Men who have enjoyed healthy raises in their own salaries can hardly be expected to scrutinize the accounts and salaries of others. To do so would lay themselves open to charges of greed and self seeking under which the average man and official is not strongly desirous of resting. Looking at the subject from that point of view it is readily discernible that the public expen- ditures have been easily and naturally increased in all direc- tions by a set of officials who could not very we'll help being easy simply because the law had conveniently and easily dealt with them in granting unnecessary in- creases of salaries which the tax payers could not we'll afford.
 Having pointed out the causes and reasons for the heavy increase of taxation to which Santa Cruz county has been subjected, and the patent fact staring all in the face that the school year has been cut from nine months to six or seven, it does not require much sdbe to show how to go to work to effect re- trenchment. Economy in all pub lie expenditures must be the
 watchword. Elect to office men pledged to economy and with de finite ideas how to accomplish economy. First of all they must
 be pledged to accept their offices with the understanding and agree
 ment that the economy demanded shall begin in their own official emoluments. They must go into office with the understanding and
 pledge that their own salaries are
 to be restored to the former figure. Themselves feeling the force of the
 necessity for economy, they will be
 in a proper frame of mind to insist
 upon its application in the couuty's
 dealings with others. And they
 will be more apt to keep in their
 minds eye at one and the same
 time both fair price for public service, of any kind and a reduced
 tax rate.
 With member of the legislature elected upon pledge to restore , salaries to the former figure, lei there be elected men to fill the county offices pledged to discharge the duties thereof at the salaries ; that were paid before the raise o1 1901, and pledged also to retrench- ment and economy in all county , expenditures. Upon that basis the county can be eventually brought out of the drag in which it Is now Heretofore there has been toe ! much Iaxity and disregard fol I public interests in the county affairs. The taxpayers have had tC

A request was once made to the Hu-
thorities OF one of the colleges at Cam
bridge that room might be found on
the spacious lawns of their garden for
the lady students of Girton college to

Guessing clearly enough what would
be the result of the admission of these
students of the fairer sex among the

that it was ordered i'm the statutes of
the college that the gardens must be
