A !M UNO I PAL eloetion hold Tuesday in 8nn Knuipiseo - is interesting in that the people were called upon to use the three new weapons that populist io polities have given them, the referendum, the initiative and the recall. Over (K),00() citizens wore interested sufficiently to vote. People weie asked to approve, or reject tin art of the ad ministration, adopt or reject sin ordinance cutting the rates of a public service corporation, and virtually try a judge for his judicial acts. By a vote of two to one the street railroad agreement submitted to the people by the supervisors was ratified. It extends the municipally owned Geary street railway to the ferries and does away with the ancient horse car, and makes other changes. The ordinance initiated by tho Telephone Users' asso ciation, was adopted by three thousand majority. It cuts the rates charged by the telephone companies and marks the entrance of the grafter into the initiative legislative business. The association is fathered by a politician who formerly fattened off legislatures or corporations affected by pending legislation, and who has discovered in the new regime opportunity to wax fat at public expense. This "association" hired agents and obtained contracts "with thousands of business men to the effect that if rates were reduced through the effort of the association, it should receive ti certain percentage of the reduction. The peo ple voted the reduction, therefore the enterprising grafter gets the people to pay him for what they have made pos sible by their own votes. The recall movement was also successful, Judge Charles Weller being recalled and Wiley Crist, candidate of tho Woman's Recall League being elected by 877 ma jority. Tt is a triumph of women in politics and disproves me on repeated story mat me iair sex are nor uucrcsictt enough in public questions to vote. The recall grew out of Judge Weller's action in reducing the bail of a man who criminally assaulted a girl, thus allowing the assail ant to escape. The bail had been set sit frlOOO by one judge and Judge Weller reduced it to $1000. which was fur nished, the accused man disappearing stud forfeiting the bsiil. The campaign was waged on morsil lines, and as si result, courts will not be so lenient with this clsiss of de generates. The initiative, referendum and recall are evidently Jtppreciutcd by the people of California siutl have come to stsiy. JOHNSON'S PROTEST. T Tis hard to uudersistnd why California's proposed smti - alien law should be considered a matter of such inter national importance thsit Secretary of State .Bryan must be sent across the continent sis special envoy of the presi dent to discuss its terms. But perhaps instead of being offended at the attention attrsicted, Clovernor Johnson should be flattered at the consideration shown California. Says the governer: Much has been said of the dignity of Japan. We would not willingly affront the dignity or Japan, nor offend Its pride. Hut what shall ho said of tho proposition that a great state, Itself an empire of possibilities greater than those of most natlous. shall bo halted from tho mere consideration of a legislative act. admittedly within its jurisdiction, by the protest of a foreign power which has Itself enacted even more stringent regulations on the same subject? What of the dignity of California? The governor points out that California has an unques tioned right to pass sin alien land bill; that the United States has determined who are eligible to citizenship and who are not; that the Japanese are among the ineligible races; that the constitution of California since 1879 has de clared the " presence of foreigners ineligible to citizenship dangerous to thet well-being of the state;" that Washington and Arizona hind Jaws prevent ineligibles from owning land in those commonwealths, and that no protest lifts ever been made except in the ease of California, which alone among the states, suffers from the invasion of ineligible races. . California will undoubtedly pass the anti-alien land bill. If the legislature is talked out of it, it will bo initiated, and there seems little ground for Japan to protest, when her own laws are similar. President Wilson at first admitted all these points and refused to interfere. It would be interesting to know what caused the change in policy. GUTTING LIVING QOST. IT is estimated by Congressman Underwood that $300, 000,000 and more annually will be sliced off the cost of living by the new tariff, now under consideration. Eventually it will cut off half a billion. 15 von with this prospect, there is no panic smd the familiar and over worked bogey of Jmrd times docs not scare the people. The general sontimont is that if it takes a panic to smash the trusts and reduce the tariff, the quicker it comes, the belter. The deficiency in tariff revenues is expected to bo made up by the incomo tax and the inheritance tax. These two sire expected in the future to provide the government's principal source of revenue. Every dollar saved in tar iff amounts to five or six dollars in the final retail prices paid by the consumer. This is because the msiny middle men who handle an article from the stage of raw material to that of finished product each assesses sis profit si cer tain percentage of the value of the commodity he handles, lint in assessing this profit he includes the tariff in the value of the commodity, Thus the people pay not only the tariff but also pay profits on the tariff. Although no income below $4000 will bo taxed, less than one per cent of the population is affected. This speaks for itself for the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few. Prolmblv the bulk of the income taxa tion will come from ten per cent of the one per cent tnxed.j Topographic Maps I'or teaching tho ucournph) of tho United States In tho puhllo xrlionW and colleges a strong effort Is boln inmlo by thu United States lloololcul Surxoy to foster the use of the gov ernment topographic maps.
