DIOCESE FAVORED
FOR SACRAMENTO
Episcopal Convocation to Memo-
riaIize Convention at Gncin=
natl for Change
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


SANTA ROSA. Sept. 21.-At the after
noon session today of the thirty-sixth
annual convocation of the Sacramento
district of the Episcopal church, being
held in the Church of Incarnation in
this city. 1t was voted unanimously to
organize the diocese of Sacramento, a
self-sustaining diocese. The convoca-
ton will memorable the general con-
vention of the house of lords which
meets in Cincinnati next month for ad-
mfttance to the convention as diocese
of the American Episcopal church.
The election of officers for the new
diocese will take place tomorrow at the
closing session. This action, while hav-
ing heen rather anticipated, marks one
of the epochs of the church in Califor-
MIA.
Bishop Moreland, who will without
doubt be elected the first bishop of the
new diocese, in his annual address last
night laid great stress upon the lay
mans place in church work. In dwell
ing upon the man trained for Christian
work he declared that such training
must begin in the home. "A simple, God
fearing home life, with less bridge
less social functions and fewer theaters,
is a universal need"
The sessions today have been de-
voted to routine business and the hear
ing of reports. These were practically
cleared UP during the afternoon, and

cred and the business of the Whoie
In signing the last river and har-
Dor bill, which had many OF the
characteristics of previous bills ana
was subject to the criticism that
many items were contained therein
dicated to congress that the passage
of another bill of that character
would merit veto
Until this fundamental reform is
put into effect the improvement OF
our rivers and inland waterways
will be chiefly important because OF
the local advantage of the money
expended and not because or the
betterment of our transportation.
The evil in the corrupt control or
a congress or a legislature by pri-
vate interests is manifest and al
ways calls for condemnation But
there is another kind of legislative
abuse-as dangerous to public veal
in certain of its aspects as corrup-
tion and that is the selfish combina-
tion Of representatives of the ma
jority of the constituencies to ex-
pend the money of the government
or with little benefit to the whole.
1t is the duty of the majority and
the minority to legislate always for
the benefit of the whole people and
any enactments that look to the sell
fish exploitation of less than the
whole is a species of legislative
that comes very near corruption in
it's effectiveness. perhaps more dan
gerous than corruption because
those who support such a combina-
tion are generally bold in it's de-
fense.
The days of the pork barrel should
be numbered. The country is reused
against corporate or corrupt control
of legislative agencies. but it is
doubtful whether the constituencies
as yet are able to perceive the high
er obligation on the part of them
'selves and their representatives, not
to use their votes in combination to
appropriate to a part that which be-
longs to the whole.
