FMAKKUL nnd wonderful to tin layinan are the intra
' cies of the legal mind.
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.

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

From time nlinost immemorial It linn been the custom t6 eclebrnto
Ilnllow eve, niyMJte dae Oct. Ill In olden tlme wns tho lay the Druid
pilesta set nsldo ;for n rrent relfBlous feast or festival. It wns called
"All Hallow" because It preceded "All Saints Day."
.Most of tho old customs, especially, thosfe of rcllK-
Ions orlitln, when bunded- down to Inter generations,
lose not only tholr real slBuIflcnnce, but nro often en
tirely misconstrued. '
Tho Ilnllow Eve of modern Unifls Is nearly devoid
of iell?louB ceremony nnd Is fnst uncomlng only ti
dnv for fun nnd entertnliiment, nnd nil nuns nnd sly.es
look forward to tlm day of "fortunes nnd fakes."
The combining of llRht, fire nml cnndles innke the
expense of tho party very smnll, nnd the effect Is often
u el nl and wonderful,
.
If one Is fortunate enough to live "on n farm" tho
Ilnllow Eve pnrty tins nlmost nny possibility. Clear
out the "crops" from the ninln floor of the bis bnm
and Klve tho rillrly there. Use b(K, brlpht bonfires to
Unlit the way to the place where the "mystic nut!

fal.es and fortunes will hold forth.

and liKht when the Ktiestn liesln to arrive, Orent care
