16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1896. SINGLE- TAXERS ON A NEW TACK, They Will Ask for an Amendment to the Con- stitution. ARTICLE XIII ATTACKED A Substitute for This Would Rev- olutionize the Collection of Revenue. TO MAKE THE TAX POSSIBLE. It ‘Will Place in the Hands of the People of the State the Power Necessary. The single-taxers of California are about to make a concerted movement to secure an amendment of the State constitution which shall place it within the power of the people of the State to institute the single tax. Ata meeting of single-tax men held in the office of Joseph Leggett this action was finaily determined upon. The amendment proposed is in the form taxation. So it is often necessary to ac- quaint a man with the law as it is before he isamenable to argument in favor of a better way. s “Show him that the State constitution requires land, improvements, personal property of every description to be taxed, with poll taxes thrown in, and also how unequally they bear heaviest on those least able to bear them, and he is then able to appreciate the simple method of the single tax on land values. Then give him a few short lessons, showing how a single tax on land values cannot be otherwise distributed equitably among the peovle in exact pro- portion as each makes use of land ana then let him go and think it out for him- seli. He will come around a sure enough single-taxer all right.” WILL FIRE A SALUTE. Various Arrangements Being Made for the Celebration of Bunker Hill Day. The Bunker Hill Association held its regular meeting last evening. The following communication was read from the War Department, Washington, D. C., relative to firing a salute: WASHINGTON. D. C., April 28, 1896. Sir: Agreeable to the wishes expressed in your letier of the Sth inst., I have directed & salute to be fired from the forts in the harbor of San Francisco, Cal., on June 17, 1896, the annivi ry of the batile of Bunker Hill. Very respectfulLy, JOSEPH B. DOE. Assistant Secretary of War. The literary committee reported having engaged a quartet of male and female voices to sing the *“‘Star-Spangled Ban- ner’’ and the “Red, White and Blue.” The committee was also instructed to se- cure the services of Joaquin Miller as poet of the day. The committee on transportation and grounds reported that the grounds at Glen Ellen will be put in fine condition, and that the pavilion will be profusely dec- orated with flags and bunting. The committee on printing issued sev- eral other large contracts, and will peti- tion the Board of Supervisors to extend a large banner across Market street. Communications were read from several other societies who will petition the Gov- ernor to make the 17th of Junea legal holiday.

All taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects within the territorial | limits ot the authority levying the tax, and | shall be levied, assessed and collected asthe Legisiature shall direct. Sec. 3. The power of taxation shall never be surrendered or suspended by any grant or contract to which the State shail be a party. | Sec. 4. Land and the improvements thereon | shall ba separately assessed. “ Land of the same | quality or similarly situated, whether used or | unused, shall be assessed at the same value. Sec. 5. All lands which have been section- ized by the United Stdtes Government shall | be assessed for the purposes of taxation by sec- | tions or fractions of sections. ‘The Legislature shall provide by law for the assessment of all lands not sectionized by the United States Government. Sec. 6. The Legislature may provide for the | payment of all taxes by installments, Sec. 7. The Legislature shall have power to enact all laws ne ary 1o carry out the pro- visions of this article. “The adoption of this amendment,” | said Mr. Leggett yesterday, “will give | to the Legislature full power over the| subject of taxation and open the way for the speedy attainment of such reformis in the mode of raising revenue as the pro- | gressive thought of the time demands. The vast number of amendments pro- posed to Article XIII of the constitntion at the two last sessions of the Legislature proves that general public dissatisfaction with the present method of mu:ing reve- nue is widespread. In 1894 amendments exempting free public libraries and free museums, fruit and nut bearing trees under the age of four years and grape- vines under the age of three years from taxation were adopted by the people by overwhelming majorities. “This fact proves that the people of this | State are beginning to perceive the folly of taxing the products of labor. The justand rational demand beginning to come from the manufacturers of California for reason- able exemptions from taxation of at leasta portion of their capital, plant and product, and a like demand from the ship-owners of 8an Francisco 1o be relieved from the bur- dens of taxation upon their shipping, prove that a more feasible and airect means of securing reform in taxation than by the slow and expensive methods of constitutional amendments hes come to be an absolute necessity. The exigencies of businessand the necessities of manufactur- ers at the present time call for prompt re- lief, and the only way in which this can be secured is by givinfi to the Legislature full jurisdiction over all matters of taxation.” James 8. Reynolds said last evening on the subject: “One of the greatest obstacles to the adoption of the single tax is the dense ignorance as to the present mode of | raising revenue. Not one man in ten can | describe, even approximately, the gro- tesque scheme of robbery which we have devieed for the bedevilment of every per- son unfortunate enough to have anything | he cannot hide, and by courtesy calleg —_— NEW TO-DAY. - FAGE RAW AND BLEEDING - My little boy was afflicted with Eczema in acute form for a year, during which we tried 'without success every known remedy, The dis- order appeared on the right cheek and was of a blistery and bloody form.

The Report That H: Was Bought Off With Patronage Indignantly Denied. Dr. Williameon of the Board of Health, who has been the friend of Superintendent Weaver of the Almshouse first, last and all the time during the efforts of the other members to oust him, is annoyed | and very indignant at the printed state- | ments that he has been coaxed by promises of patronage to desert Mr, ‘Weaver and vote for his removal. “It is a malicious falsehood,” he said last evening, “and I would give much to learn where it started. As a matter of fact it was my intention to vote for the removal of the Weavers at the next meet- in of the board, but for very different reasons than those ascribed in the articles in the evening papers, “If T do not vote for achangein the Almshouse management it will be at the special instance and request of Mr. Weaver himself. He called at my office recently in company with his wife and asked me to vote for his removal. He stated that the position I had taken in the matter had made friction in the board and made ma more or less a mark for criticism by the other members, and he desired to relieve me of this and also of the chance of being removed by the Governor to make room for some one who would act with the ma- jority in making changes. “‘Mr. Weaver said definitely that he in- tended making a fight in the courts to be reinstated as superintendent, and that he would prefer to have a friend on the board if the case ever came into court. “I was, and have always been, opposed to the taking of the matter into the courts to retain his position, because of the cer- tainty ot a greater or less loss in the way of efficiency in the management of the Almshouse during the litigation, but as long as he desired it I promised to vote for his removal, and should certainly have done so except for the manner in which the false report has been sent broadcast. “I have not given the maiter the consid- eration it deserves and do not know now just how I shall vote when the question comes up before the board. “I certainly do not care to rest under the imputation of having been bribed by patronage into doing Governor Budd’s bidding. I would not care to lose my po- sition as a member of the Board of Health, but I certainly would have allowed my- self to be removed by the Governor rather than have voted for Mr. Weaver's removyal to make a political plum for some one had got t_lée superintendent made the request e aid.” ————— THE CONSUL IS BETTER.

VINES STRUGELING WITH A NEW FOE, Some Mysterious Disease Affecting Riparia Variety. DYING BY TEOUSANDS. It Is Believed to Have Been Caused by Last Summer’s Hot Spells. NO REMEDY S0 FAR FOUND. Only Riparias Are Affected and Re. sistant Stock Has Received a Severe Setback. Vineyardists in Napa Valley are begin- ning to wonder whether they have not made a mistake in planting the riparia to protect them from phylloxera. Not that the riparia is not resistant, but it has sud- denly succumbed to a peculiar disease and condition, and as a result one-half the ri- parias from Oakville to Calistoga are dead or dying. Last August it was found that some of the riparias suddenly sickened and died, but it was by no means a general affection ; but this spring, when the wine men got ready to graft upon their resistants, they found the riparias had died by the thou- sands. It was at first thought to be the dreaded Anaheim disease, which played such havoc in the southern vineyards, but opinions were by no means certain on this point. 1In every case where the vine was affected, an investigation showed that its roots were diseased, and in some cases en- tirely dried up. ‘What caused most apprehension, how- ever, was the fact that often, in a patch in which there were both resistant ana non-resistant stock, only tke riparias were affected; they died by the wholesale alongside non-resistant vines, which were flourishing beautifully. This of course disproved another theory—that the ri- parias had lost their resisting character- istics, but the solution was as vexing and as far off as ever, nor has it yet been ex- plained with perfect satisfaction to all. The riparia is a native vine, growing growing wild in this State and along the Mississippi. The riparia from the Missis- sippi is the more satisfactory of the two, and for that reason was planted much more extensively than the California vine. 1t is more hardy and makes a vine more suitable for receiving a graft. The method employed is to plant the Tesistant cuttings or rootlings, and after two, three or four years to graft upon them the variety desired. The vine is then secure from the ravages of phyl- loxera. Why this is so is not definitely known, but it is so. When the phylioxera appeared in Napa Valley, therefore, re- sistant stock was eacerly sought, and among others the Lenoir and the Riparia were planted. The Riparia was the favor- ite because of its rapid growth, and thou- sands of acres were planted to it. The vineyards so planted and grafted were prooi against phylloxera, but this new agent of destruction which has appeared against the Riparia and its graftsonly has caused no end of anxiety. John Wheeler, executive officer for the Viticultural Commission for the Napa dis- trict and managing the California Wine- makers’ Corporation, says he has had more experience with this new visitation than probably any one else. “Ithink it isdue to the hot spells we had last summer,” he said, while speak- ing on the subject. ““The Riparia is a vine whose roots lie along the surface. Every one who has plantea them knows the way they run to surface roots. Now when we have hot weather it dries the soil, par- ticularly such soil as we have in Napa Valley—the gravelly loam—to auite a depth. This deprives the Riparia of mois- ture, and it must have moisture. As a consequence it dies out, where other vines, more deeply rooted, will live without trouble. “The Lenoir is such a vine. The Lenoir strikes its roots straight down. It has few if any surface roots, and it takes moisture from far below the upper layer which is dried by the sun. This is the only expla- nation I can give for the disease and the only one I have heard which seems even to explain it. I have started 200,000 Lenoirs this year and I think they will do well. “The Riparias began to die about last Auguet and there was quite a stir over it, but the full magnitude of the ravages of the disease was notappreciated until the vineyard men beganto graft this spring. Then they found thousands which were dead. I estimate that between Oakville and Calistoga over half the Ripasias are dead. The loss in money I cannot at- temot to estimate. “We have mistaken our conditions, I think. That is all. The soil of Napa Valley dries too easily for the Riparia, and so we must plant Lenoir. I have not heard of the Riparias being injured in clay soils, so I think our gravelly loam is toblame. My advice would be to plant Lenoir unless where the subsoil or bed- rock is close to the surface.” Professor George Hussmann discusses at some length in the St. Helena the nature of tne peculiar ailment. Professor Huss- mann held in a Missouri college the same relative - position that Professor Hiigard holds at the University of California. He was much interested, financially and other- wise, in introducing the Riparia to this State. In his communication he says: That we have a disease, especially in the upper part of the valley, attacking Riparia vines, there csn no longer be any doubt. As &ll Riparia vines here, in the lower part of the vailey and in the oldest vineyards in Sonoma County, have been perfectly healthy until now, I have been loth to believe it, but an in- vestigation and talk with Messrs. Beringer Brothers, whose vineyard has been & model of health and beauty until last August, has convinced me to the contrary. 3o far I had ascribed the failure to other causes, uncongenial soil, poor cultivation, etc. Bpt here we have a vineyard on as good u‘Rx as gan _be. found- in the valley, well cultivated and taken Care of all summer, witn splendld growth and promise, suddenly stricken in August, until about 2000 vines are already dead and a number more dying. These are facts and we cannot ignore them. Yet the vineyard of Mrs. Chabot, planted with Ripa- rias, grafted when four years old, has shown splendid results the past two years and is per. fectly healthy yet. That it is not phylloxera Mr. Beringer is firmly convinced, although the ground is full of the insect,which has destroyed @ couple of rows planted with vinifers at the seme time in the middle of the vineyard be- fore they ever eame into bearing. The most puzzling feature about it is that most vines die from the tops downward, but he has alsofound vines where the roots were dead while the tops were apparently green and healthy. * * * There are others who believe that the vines are afflicted with a real disease and people are anxiously looking for some remedy or pre- ventive. SOME' GOOD FEES. Twelve Thousand to Receiver Bennett and Sixteen Thousand to Keddy, Campbell & Metson. Judge Seawell has allowed Sanford Ben- nett, receiver of the San Mateo Electric Railway during the course of the long liti- gation over it, $12,000. His services lasted OVer Iwo years, The fee of the firm of Reddy, Campbell & Metson, the receiver's attorneys, was fixed at the sum demanded by Campbbell, $16,000. There wasnc opposition on the part of the creditors of the road to the payment of this fee. Keceiver Bennett wanted $15,000, but the bondholders ob- jected, and on Saturday last a long discus- sion took place, which resulted in the de- cision given vesterday. City and County Treasurer Widber put in a claim for com- pensation for the trouble of handling the $300.000 paid for the railroad and of pay- ing out the various sums demanded from time to time. Judge Seawell took the ap- plication under advisement, expressing some doubt as to whether he had the power to grant it. ——— - Cut With a Carving Knife.

John Gleason, a blacksmith, appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday accompanied by his ettorney, Charles G.

Gleason is an old man, who has worked hard for & living all his life, and he spoke bitterly of his treatment by Mrs. Bishop. “I roomed in her house,” he said, *‘and about & year ago I went to Mare Island, where I got a job in a blacksmith shop.

Harry Wilson was arrested last night by Policeman William Dinan on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed weapon, The complaining witness is Edward Goldenson, brother of Alec Goldenson, who was hanged several years ago for the murder of Mamie Kelly. ~ Goldenson said that he and his wife were going to_their room at 36)¢ Geary street when Wilson without any provocation struck him over the head several times with a slungshot.

" Mike discarded his water-front toga yes- terday afternoon and left on the 4 o’clock train for the capital, where he expects to convince the Republican delegates that to assist Martin Kelly to defeat the Repub- lican nominee for Governor is not party treason. Smith was one of the loudest partisans of Republican misrule during the last State campaign. He and Kelly boasted of being the cause of M. M. Estee’s defeat and of the election of Jim Budd. Now, however, they have the brazen audacity to try; to lead the Republican émrty to another de- feat by seeking to obtain control of the | party in this City. The reception which will be accorded to ““Whiskers” on his arrival in Sacramento by the iriends of Estee will be worth | noting when he makes his mission known.
