ABOUT REDUCING SALARIES

The Portland Telegram has taken up the matter Of
ducing expenses of running the state few weeks ago
when this subec first broached following the pass
ing of the six per cent tax limitation law the Capital
Journal called attention to the fact that the first persons
whose salaries would be cut would be the janors those
who took care of the state house lawns the clerks under
the smallest pay and the senographers That is where
the Telegram suggests the savings should be made The
proposal is to take from $40 5 month off the salaries
of those who can least afford to lose it, and make no cuts
in salaries of those who could stand reduction We are
not advocating reduction Of salaries anywhere but If
they are to be cut it strikes that the saving of few
dollars that could be made in this way would not prove
of any material benefit to the taxpayers We do not
know how many small saaried clerks and stenographers
there are around the capitol but let suppose there
rs and their salaries should be cut average of Is dol
year. Secretary Ocott says the state get along un-
der the law and il can it can certainly get along
without taking its savings out Of the pay envelopes al
ready small enough The saving of $4,000 year will go
but short distance toward meeting the $l5O0O decl-
ency that is worrying the state treasurer and the gov
ernor 1t might be possible if those who really want to
save the state something worth while would examine into
the boards and commissions with which the state is
abundanty best they could by the simple process OF
elimination and consolidation make saving that would
amount to something IL salaries to be pruned 1T
would be well to commence at the top rather than the
bottom If an employe getting 5000 year can stand
reduction of 20 per cent why can't the empoye getting
$4,000 or $4,000 do the thing? We are not suggest
ing that this be done but if cuts to be made 1t is
evident those employees with the larger salaries can
stand it with the greater ease.

LIBELLING THE ANTIQUE

The supreme court of Washington has solemnly de-
cded that the publishing of matter liable to dead
person to be thought lily Of holding such an up
contempt libel and consequently that the who
published matter refectng the habits of George
Washington guilty of publishing libel, and he must
therefore languish in jail for several months
Conceding that it is wrong to speak i'll Of anyone
especially of the dead it looks though the Washington
supreme court savng public sentiment rather than
interpreting the law However the supreme court has
so decided it behooves all of us to be bit careful in
speaking of those old fellows who passed away in the
long ago. We confess now with due humility that we
have been guilty of libel though unwittingly We have
spoken lightly of Cleopatra and made insinuauons
to the character of good queen Bess otherwise Eliza
beth of England We remember also once jestng about
Semiramis and induging in remarks about Poti-
phars wife that distinctly belous since they might
if taken seriously have held the parties up to contempt
and rdcue We have deliberately criticised the costume
of ancestress, Eve and this in spite of the
fact that she has many descendants who could if they
felt that way, take oense at the fppancy displayed in
speaking of the first lady of the land
We can understand now after the matter has been
passed upon by supreme court, why it that Mark
Twain wept at the tomb of Adam; why so many had
their ancestors in the Mayfower; and why is
arstocrat 1t is that innate veneration of the dead
which by the way, might bring one within reach of the
decision Of the Washington supreme court should he say
anything liable hold it its members up to ridcue
If it not for that would be tempted to comment
on the courts decision.
