n NE of the most impressive features
- of the remarkable growth of Los
~ Angeles has been the change from
the bare, undivided piece of farm land
lying perhaps in the outskirts of the
city, yet within easy distance by troll
ley, to the subdivided, highly improved
tract with it's scores of comfortable
new homes, store, school and perhaps
church. This change, remarkable as it
often is in view of it's rapidity, has
ceased to be a marvel in Los Angeles;
there are notable illustrations of it,
however, that possess more than ordi-
nary interest. Manchester Heights
may be cited as one of the best and
most typical transitions of the kind
that has taken place in recent years

Want to Spend and Spend.

=, Much that has been said with respect to the
condition of the state treasury has proved more befud
ding than enlghtenng Unfortunately for the infor-
nation of the masses-the axpayers-who have a right
10 know the exact condition of the public funds
political turn has been given to the discussion each
side endeavoring to make capital for itself at the
expense of the other
Meanwhile, the Savannah News points out
two facts stand out prominently. They are first that
The treasury's condition is not good as might be
wished and second that the responsibility rests upon
the legislature, and not upon the chief executive
1t Is true, as our contemporary also says that
she governor is expected to keep an eye upon the
states finances and advise the legislature with respect
10 them but the governor has power of initiative
IN the raising or distribution of revenues The gov
ernor cannot put cent of money into the
ury, or take one cent out, of his volition. He
must have authority and that authority vested in
the legislature solely And with authority goes the
responsibility 1t is customary of course to say that
this or that administration did thus and so with the
state finances giving credit to placing the blame
upon the man who occupied the governors chair at
The time. But that doesn't alter the fact that the
governor is merely the chief executive officer must
follow on the line marked for him by the legs-
1sture
Apparently there great many of our legis-
lators who introduce and for appropriation bills
without ever giving thought to the matter of where
the money is to come from They do not seem to think
there is any bottom to the treasury that the funds
may be exhausted Having to do with public funds,
they want to spend and spend and keep on spending
When ways and means suggested they get some
what impatient-and vote another appropriation or
create office"
