MK
VOTERS USE NEW WEAPONS.
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
