THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 19, 1897. 7 DOING POLITICS D EQUALIZING Sidelight on the Annual Struggle Over the Assessment. ‘ Why Oakland Needs a Visit From the White House Occupant. Result of the B, Fay Mills Mission Not Ohanged by His Recent Conversion, OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,] 9.8 Broadway, July 18. Every year it is conclusively proved thst no confidence wiil be reposed in the Board of Equalization of this county un- less they succeed in establishing an assur- ance that politics are not dominating rdeiberations. This cannot be done nless the Assessor also seeks (0 establish | the same record. The criticisms on the 1oings of the board during the past week re not unexpected and have haa no effect on public opinion. It is not a ques- tion of equalizing, it is a matter of poli- tics, pure and simple. Before the elec- tion of Mr. Dalton he made large anti- corporation professions, and parucumr.y_ pledged himse.f to reduce the taxes of =mall owner. per cent by making the large corporations pay on higher assess- ments than in the past. Mr. Dalton’'s campaign may have been sincere and it may not bave been. He has now served two and a half years and the people are intelligent en tnemselves. Mr. Daiton pendent Republican, and s not in har is party. He went into office on an corporation platform and each year placed high figures on their prop- but instead of doing it unostenta- y it has always been done witha flourish of trumpsts, which is to be re- gretted, bscause Mr. Dalton is evidently sincere. Under the circumstances it is not to be supposed that his political opponents on the Board of Equalization would jump right in and help Mr. Dalton’s political That is not the way things Alameda County. Mr. Dal- r also made another error. y sought to bind candidates for the office of Supervisor to sustain his assess- ments, and the developments clearly <howed whom they found agreeable and who proposed to be independent. Under these conditions nothing tran- il_or satisiactory can be expected from the Bosrd of Equalization. Even when tue rolls were handed over to the board they were accompanied by a message referring to the just assessment of corporations and such, which Mr. Dal- ton well knew was not intended for the benefit of the Supervisors. There is no doubt that Jr. Daiton’s assessments are made with as keen an eye on their politi- cal effect as are the reductions made by was an Inde- naturally was an the board. | In the mean time neither side is mak- ing any capital politically, because the people of Alameda County have been so well schooled in the devious ways of poli- tics that they can judge every phase of the situation solely on its merits. No section of the State is more anxious to see President McKinley than Alameda County. There is a great fesling of pride 1n this county over the success ot the last general election, and there is naturally a great desire to see the man who was so loyally supported, but who has not been seen by more than one hundred out of the many thousands who showed their con- fidence in him by their votes last Novem- ber. Since Mr. Bryan’s visit to Oakland there has been an increase of the desire to see the man who beat him. Last November, when Thomas Reed was here, he effect- Iy overthrew the blatant hoves of the Fusionists, who were ciaiming everything in sight. Now it is argued that if Reed could have such an effect on one county as to develop a Republican majority that saved the State, President McKinley could exercise an influence as proportionately greater as the office of president is greater than that of speaker. Alameda County is possessed of the idea that Mr. McKinley owes them a debt for their Republican loyalty, and no stone will be left unturned to bring him to the Coast. Oakland has a well-grounded grudge against the presidential office, ana Mr. McKinley could do a gracious act of wiping it out. Some years ago Mr. Har- rison was in this city, and things not be- ing entirely to his liking he drove rapldly through the city, declinea the delicate offers of thousands of school children and others and left a bad impression behind. Everybody would like toses Mr. McKin- ley eradicate 1t. No news of a religious nature for years has caused such surprise as the news that Rev. B. Fay Mills had changed his faith and has joined the Unitarian church. When Mr, Mills was here five years ago e created a profound impression, and profess to have been converted under his ministrations. Mr. Mills was very auto- cratic in his ideas. He was not persuaded to come till a huge tabernacle had been built for the meetings. The big building proved to be as great a benefit to the city as the mission, for it has made possible the holding of several expositions and events that would not otherwise have b'en conaucted. Mr. Mills’ visit here will long be remembered, and it is interesting that news of his change of views should be received just at the time when a big industrial exposition is in progress in the building that his re- ifgious career made pos-ible.

Settlers Who Wish to Locate on Government Land in California, Arrangements Now Being Made for; Many Other Families to Follow Them. A mass-meetine, called to enlist sympa- thy in the cause of the Russian-Jewish colonists who arrived here two weeks ago, was held yesterday afternoon at B’'nai B'rith Ball. The meeting had been called by Ephraim Dnard, who brought the colonists out to California. About a hun- dred persons comprised the audience, in- cluding the colonists, some thirty-five 1n number. The colonists are mostly from Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey. Ephraim Deinard, claims to have established colonies in Palestine and elsewhere, and his plan is tolocate the colonists on Governmentland in California. The fifteen men and their families who have already arrived are but the advance guard of a larger number of colonists. At the meeting yesterday afternoon the leader of the movement made an explana- tion of the colonists’ purposes, and asked for the sympathy olp the audience for them. of avuilable Government 'and to support 50,000 people, and that negotiations were being carried on with therailroad to bring out 150 eolonists and their families. Julius Kahn, who had been requested to speak to tne colonistr, assured them that they would receive sympathy in their | undertaking. He paid a tribute to the courage with which they had endured hardsnips and with which they would face the hardships that they would inevitably meet in establishing themselves in Cali- fornia. “These people,” he concluded, “ought to be encouraged, and we should give them moral and, if possible, finan- cial support.”’ Rabbi Nieto, who had been invited to speak, gave the colonists some ver; c- tical counsel. ““Go ahead.’’ he said, “‘and show what yon can do. Refute by your actions the insinuation, often made, that the Jews are lazy and will not do manual labor. You will have to face danzer and privation, but do this, and demonstrate | that you are men worthy of the name. “But if you wait for sympathy to lift you from San Francisco to the localities | ‘where you hope to colonize you will wait long. Go ahead and don’t wait for sym- pathy, which means nothing and can be had for the asking.” Henry Kramer declared that it would take several thousand dollars to take the colonizts out of the City and suggested that an appeal for aid snould be made to the wealthy members of the various syna- gogues. After considerable discussion the meeting adjourned, withont any action having been taken, until 8 o'ctock in the evening, when the discussion was to be continued. AT SHELL MOUND.
