OFFICE-HOLDERS' VESTED
RIGHTS.

No reform is harder to carry
into effect than the reduction of
public expenditures. Once an
office is created, once salary is
fixed, they become vested rights.
To abolish even sinecures or at
tack extravaganza in the pay
roll is as heinous a crime as the
confisuation of property. A de-
partment whose clerks are over
paid by comparison with those
of other departments is entitled
to retain forever all the advan-
tages it enjoys, and any attempt
to adjust its special rates of pay
to general standards call for a
civil instruction.
The difficulties faced by the
city administration in equalizing
salaries would never have arisen
if it had not been a matter of
raising the lower salaries to the
level Of the higher. No class of
public employees threatens to
rebel at the prospect of an in
crease in pay, however unWar-
ranted by the State of the public
finances. The sacrifices demand
ed of the taxpayers and the Grip

ping of the public service in
other directions excite no violent
protests on the part Of those who
look to profit directly by the
padding of payrolls.
Retrenchment requires cour-
age in those who exercise con-
troll over public expenditures.
1t cannot be effected without
touching the pocket nerves of
individuals accustomed to regard
themselves in preferred positions
of security. But if habits of
waste are never to be checked
in the public interest, beca use
any change would affect the COM
fort or convenience of certain
persons, what hope can there be
for the city government in the
future except to plunge further
into financial troubles?-New

that this is Just the time the pallets
