The city council desired to submit to the people an al tenialive measure to the rebondin plan at the same time, ihe Mcdynslci plan was submitted. They were, to all in tents and purposes, authorized to do this in ordinance 12-1, section VI, which reads as follews: Sect. 1.1. in nny ordinance, charter or amendment to. tho chnrtor of snld cltv shall he proposed bj Inltiuttvn petition, mild petition sball ho filed with tho recorder, nnd hi uhall trnnsnilt It to tho next session of tho coun cil, who until! then either ordain or reject tho flame, nnd If the council sball reject said proponed inl'nMhro, or Hhnll tnho no action thereon for a period of thirty dnyu nfter uuch inensiirh shall hnve been mibmltted, then tho Bald recorder shnll cause the natno to ho submitted to the peoplo ror approval or rejection nt tho next ciiniilnK election Jield In snld city. Tho council may ordain (mid ordinance or ninendment and rofer It to tho peoplo, or It may ordain mild ordinance without referendum petition In like manner n'so tho ordinance If tho council Hhnll reject nny hiicIi measure, or take no action thereon, It mny ordain a competliiK ordinance or ninendment, which shall bo hubmltted to the vote of the .people by the recorder ut the nnmo election at which mild initiative, proposal Ih submitted. Such com petltlve measure, If nny, shall bo prepared by tho council nnd ordnlned within the !I0 days allowed for its nrtlon on the nicnsuro proposed b tht initiative petition. Clearly the intent of the above is to permit the council to submit an alternative proposal to the peoplo along with the, initiative proposal. The citr attorney holds, however, that the council can not submit such an alternative after having agreed to per mit the initiative to be voted upon, ami the city council, threatened on the one hand with the recall and on tle other bound by the advice of their legal advisor, submitted the ModyrtskiYobonding amendment alone. Through the convolutions of the legal mind the people will therefore vote solely upon plunging the city hopelessly into debt with a bond issue equal to !2f per cent of the city's assessed valuation that cannot he sold at anything like par, give us the highest tax rate of any city in the country to permit well-to-do citizens and realty speculators to con tinue to buy gasoline with money they owe for property improvements. - by Careline: coe? .

WlllNEN'FiR a business, fattened upon special legis lation has an undeserved privilege cut off, loud and terrible is the resultant wail. The passage of the La Follotlo seamen's act abolishing slavery at sea has been the occasion of no small amount of "alamity howling on the part ot ship owners whoso i;rood has been many times shown in sacrifice of humanity. Shrillest of the shriekers was that Jeremiah of Pacific coast shipping, the Pacific Mail, which has shown its pat ri ot it! love for the American workman by employing Chinese crews, and predicted disaster to the American merchant marine as the result of safetv at sea. It was not known whaj tho department of commerce's interpretation of the law would be, when the Pacific Mail announced the forced abandonment of its business and the sale of its ships on account of the law. Regarding tho in torpretation, Secretary Kodl'iold has anneunced: The department iinderstnndH tho law to reiiulro tho snfeKiinrdliiK of the vessel throur.h tho ImiKuaKo lest by such menus nl such times and In such a mu'iinnr ns skull bo helpful nnd not hurtful to our maritime com uinrco und Hint It Is In no sonso Intended to bo used to ereuto ombnrrntss ment or to cniiso iiiinecossiirj expense or delay The lie to the Pacific .Mail's doleful prediction is tin letting of contracts for the construction of many new vet ..els for Pacific coast commerce and the increased tonnage already listed. Kow Secretary Rcdfiold h.i made a complete refutation of the statements made by R. P. Sehwerin of the Pacific Mail, lie shows how the seamen's law would not hao in .jurcd the Pacific Mail's business, hut helped it. lie shows that the company has boon heavily over-capitalized, and that for ten vears the deficit in profit and loss aeaount ha been between 10,000,000 and '$11,000,000, Imt that the past few years this was changed to a surplus, and that the past few months have been tio most profitable in tho com pany's histon, and that tho company has quit with more business in sight than ever. The Tact is shown that the sale of the ships of the com pany were made at fancy figures, realising a huge profit, as depreciation on the ships had been charged oft annuallv in many cast" totalling the value of tho vessels. The stock of tho company before the passage of the sea men's bill at the close of its most prosperous year, was selling at Ik, and has recently risen to :tS. Mr. Rcdfiold cencludes: It Mould uppenr to be possible that the company nfter dolus; business for 111 jonis without 11 dividend touud Hint ovMIuh eoudltloiiM gave tliom nn il portuult) ofSellliiK out n ponton of their properts nt n pilee which wouUI return them the full vuluallim of Hint roicit upon the company's books plus nt least h million dollar mute, and that a er natural dcnirc with siivh n recoul behind tin ni to .u'hluve HiIk doxtrahlo u-xult nut) in xome monNiii'C nt leant hne promoted the tuinsaitlon A company which )v ,m adverse law U foired out or a wiluiUU biclius finds i)int Us Mmk 'H more limn doubled in miIik .i- u lexiilt of tlmt iiaucactlon I AT OF I'AUIS, Oil. -M.
