Preserving Appropriation Evils.

There Is little likelihood that this
State will get from the present Legis.
laturc n measure consolidating and
simplifying appropriation bills. The
reason for this Is not difficult to find.
The present system works directly for
the benefit of law makers who wan
unfair advantages for their own prof.
ects. They recognize that II their
demands are exposed to public criti-
cism and brought into comparison
with the requests Of others, their op-
portunities will be greatly curtailcd.
Nobody will be deceived by talk In
the SENATE and the Assembly about
the impracticability Of any Of the
schemes that have been suggested to
reform existing abuses. \ workable
system might easily he arranged un-
der which every proposed appropria.
ton could be intelligently discussed
In the Legislature and outside OF 1t.
But that discussion would eventually
lead to establishments In the way Of
economy the prospect Of which fills
with dismay the legislators accus.
toned to the practice now obtaining.
The taxpayers r bound in ignO-
rance by the methods that prevail to-
day, and that ignorance It Is the high
aim of n powerful faction Of their
law makers to pe%rpetuate.
