Legislative Doings.
The Legislature seems determined on
adopting policy of extending the
powers of the counties most radically,
and are trimming the, appropriation
bills to that end. The idea seems to
be to turn over to the various Boards
of Supervisors great deal of the pub
lie work now conducted by the Terri
torial officials. allowing the counties
the greater part of the public revenues
| to work on.
Theoretically, it is best to allow the
! taxpayers directly concerned to carry
out the public improvements desired
| with their own money. on the SUPPOSE
! ton that when spending their own
money under their own supervision
! there viii be less waste and extrava-
! ganee. How theory will conform with
| practise. in view of the incompetence
| of the majority of the Supervisors in
| the majority of the boards, remains to
be seen. From past performances of
| the county politicians, the extension
/ of the county power seems to be an
invitation for the indulgence of riot
Gus profligacy, appointments of politi-
cal pets IN many cases incompetent,
and a general squandering of the pub
! lie S money. The fact that the county
officials will have greatly-increased
| spending powers may induce the more
responsible portion of the electorate TO
| take an interest in county politics, but
! it is certain, also, TO induce the poll
tieians to fight still harder for the
! reins of power.
