UDGE CAMPBELL recently decided a case (J by the flipping of a coin. The matter involved was the ownership of one silk skirt, value un- known. Here is a way out of troublesome litiga- tion. By it the jurist strengthened his claim to being 2 modern Solomon. He might have listened to a lot of testimony—about half of it perjured—and then have been as uncertain as to the truth as in the be- ginning. Was he to permit the element of doubt to cloud his decision? Not much. Judge Campbell knows that a coin tossed in the 2ir must come down with one side or the other uppermost. No proposi- tion could be more plain. So he tossed the coin and the woman who had elected to stake her for- tune on heads won the skirt. Justice was vindi- cated. Suppose that the obverse side of the coin had appeared and the other woman had secured the skirt! Then would justice have sneaked from there downcast and forlorn. But so long as the coins hold out justice does not have to do anything of the sort. She can apply to Campbell and get a fair deal every time. TAXATION EXEMPTIONS. N his address at the annual meeting of the Acad- l emy of Sciences on Monday evening Professor David Starr Jordan of Stanford University is quoted as having said in effect that with respect to taxation the constitution of California is the meanest ever devised by man. Dr. Jordan’s complaint is that the organic law provides for assessing all property alike and without regard to the purposes for which it is used. “No other State on receiving a gift,” he is reported as saying, “proceeds at once to tax it out of existence. Other civilized States meet the gen- erous giver half way and double his giit. California plunders his donation as soon as his back is turned.” Of course we understand that in referring to our respected system of taxation in this disrespectful manner Dr. Jordan is taking the Stanford Univer- sity view of the subject. The learned gentleman cannot intend that his remarks shall have general ap- plication, for to carry his theory into the constitu- tion might upset the finances of many counties in the State. Tndeed, it is not difficult to see that were Stanford University exempted from taxation a large hole would be made in the revenues of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, to say nothing of the northern counties in which its endowment is lo- cated. It would be far better for the State to re- turn the taxes collected from that institution than to take from the counties the power to assess its prop- erty. Since the adoption of the constitution in 1879 the advocates of tax exemption have carried several of their amendments. At present free public libraries and free museums, growing crops, public schools and State and municipal parks and buildings are exempt from taxation. But further than this the Legislature and people have not been willing to go. The theory maintained by the constitution is that all property should be taxed in proportion to its value, I the law were to establish a long list of exemptions not only would the orderly administration of local finances be interfered with, but the treasuries of wmany small countries might be crippled. One of the strongest arguments imaginable exists in favor of exempting ships possessing California registers from taxation. This exemption would benefit rather than injure the State, yet the Legislature has not been prevailed on to submit a constitutional amendment to that effect. . Doubtless it is unjust to tax an institution like the Stanford University. Indeed, Dr. Jordan would probably be able to give a thousand reasons why a .State which does assess such a school should be con- sizned to one of its own insane asylums. But if the property of Staniord is to be exempted, where is the line to be drawn? Other private schools and col- leges will demand a similar privilege, and finally a proposition will be broached by the demagogues to zbolish taxation altogether. We do not know but this last idea would be indorsed by the people. It is well I'nown (hat the average man no more enjoys paying taxes than Dr. Jordan enjoys paying them. The president of Stanford University is a gentle- man of infinite wit. We have great respect for his learning and ingenuity. He ought to be able to pro- pose a plan for repairing the annual damage done by the Tax Collector to his university which would obviate the introduction of more real and personal property exemptions into the constitution. If he can do so we may safely promise him the public ap- proval, but further than this it is difficult to go. Berkeley footpads explain that they recently held up a citizen in a spirit of jest, using no weapon more dangerous than a pointed finger. It was a most ex- cellent joke. but the real fun would have come in had the citizen shot, and under the impression that he was getting a pair of knaves got a pair of fools in- stead. TWO-FACED ON ANNEXATION. temper. Anger and logic are not messmates. Rage and reason are never hzx:neucd to- gether to pull the same load. In discussing annexa- tion from its spleen rather than its brain the Chron- icle discredits the intelligenee of its readers. It put in several years of fine writing to prove that white men—Anglo-Saxons—cannot survive as la_boren on the plantations of Hawaii. It led in that line a lo}lg list of newspapers in this State and elsewhere. With all the iridescent egotism of the peacock it repro- duced columns of approving editorials from these papers, from far Kentucky, cold New England an.d the near by towns and cities of California. .All t_hns was when the island planters were experimenting with white labor by introducing Germans and Scan- dinavians. On that subject the Chronicle printed volumes to prove that white labor could not endure on the islands. The hot climate enervated it. It speaks now in a tone of awe and rcspec{ of the Portuguese in Hawaii. In its former campaign to warn white labor away from the islands the Chron- icle said: “The Portuguese laborers who come from Fayal and the Cape Verde islanders bring their wives and children, but they have been brutalized by a long condition of semi-serfage and are destitute of that adjunct of Christian civilization called morals.” In tha: way it accounted for their ability to stand the climate and physical conditions of the islands, which were too hard for the Germans, Scandina- vians and Anglo-Saxons. | OL‘R neighbor, the Chronicle, should keep its | Now the Chronicle changes its tune and the change adds to the gayety of nations. In its f?rmer campaign the islands were tropical. Now it de- clares that the vertical sun is unknown in Hawaii. It must be, then, that Shah Dole and annexation have given us a new heaven and a new earth. The islands are wholly within the tropics, unless the Chronicle has moved them, and the sun is vertical there in its proper season. To follow other remarkable statements of the Chronicle in its choleric advocacy of annexation, it says: “Whites and negroes are excluded because they demand fair wages and the suffrage.” Annexa- tion “may drive the sugar barons into paying labor a decent wage and into yielding their despotism in the local politics of Hawaii to the behests of a popular majority.” “To admit the citizens of any other country, white or black, to the suffrage would be to lose those political privileges in the islands which the sugar men have monopolized for years to keep their es- tates from being adequately taxed and to provide offices under the most disgraceful system of nepot- ism which prevails anywhere for their families and hangers on.” Now when one considers that the Dole revolution was a planters’ conspiracy, as proved by admission of Minister Stevens and its subsequent history, and that the sugar barons are its sole supporters, and under it dominate the local politics of Hawaii, ex- cluding the natives from the ballot box, and that they tyrannically suppress the popular majority be- cause it is against annexation and permit only 2800 men to vote who have to first take an oath to sup- port annexation, the Chronicle statements perspire comedy. It would have us believe that Dole and the planters are seceking to deprive themselves of the privilege of paying low wages to coolies, of dominat- ing politics, of running a minority government which suppresses a majority of the people; when the fact is that Dole and the planters seek annexa- tion as the only means of perpetuating the rule they have set up, of making sure a profit on their coolie worked plantations, of depriving the majority of a voice in Hawaiian politics. . Dole must have some reason for saying: “I be- lieve the United States will give us separate laws so that we can get plantation labor.” The planters who solidly support annexation must believe it too. The President of the United States must believe it when he says in his message that “péculiar conditions and the needs of labor” will require—what? Just the separate laws demanded by Dole. In the face of all this the Chronicle gets red in the face and cries out: “No treaty could do more to emancipate labor than that which proposes to ad- mit Hawaii to the Union. Witness its object; it aims to extend the humane labor laws of the United States to a foreign country. It seeks to crush out a form of slavery and supplant it with freedom.” Don't write nor talk when you are mad, neighbor. Go seek a cooler head in the wash basin. The dead and gone treaty does none of these things, and you will know it when you refrigerate. If the treaty did this why does Shah Dole talk of “separate laws” and President McKinley of “pecu- liar conditions and the needs of labor,” for which that document makes no provision? ‘When lawyers lose a case which they have taken on a contingent they go down to the tavern and cuss the court, misrepresent the testimony and ac- quire a jag. Newspapers, which abhor contingents, should not imitate the bar when they lose a case. fl mittee of the Golden Jubilee celebration it was announced that collections are not up to the expectations of the committee. It was there- NOT UP TO EXPECTATION. T the Monday meeting of the execut‘ive com- fore resolved to put forth new efforts in the work.” The finance committee was increased by the addi- tion of several influential citizens and an active can- vass for funds will be made at once. To impress upon the minds of the business men of San Francisco the importance of making a triumphal success of the jubilee it should not be necessary to iterate and reiterate it. It is well known to every intelligent man that vast opportunities of profit are uow open to the city, and that if we make San Fran- cisco widelyattractive thiswinter we shall draw to our manufacturers and our merchants the greater part of the Alaskan outfitting trade—a trade so large that no reflecting man estimates its value at less than many millions. : To bring the great bulk of the new traffic to our city and our State we must advertise the advantages they offer. The jubilee will be an advertisement. It is to serve as introduction to the mining exposi- tion, and by the brilliancy of the one will be judged the value of the other. The jubilee must be golden, gorgeous and gloricus. Business as well as senti- ment demands - it. : The time for raising the money and making the preparations is short. What is to be done must be done at once. This is the time to show the true Californian liberality, vim, vigor and dash. San Francisco on this occasion is to do the entertaining for the State and should do it well. The announce- ment that contributions are not up to cxpectation is an evidence of a dormant public spirit somewhere, We cannot afford to fall below the expectations of the pioneers, the Native Daughters and the Native Sons in a matter where State prestige is at stake. THE DISGRACED BULLETIN. former. Only a few days ago it was glorying in the fact that in saving the city it had stoqd shoulder to shoulder with that magnificent advocate !«)f purity which tinges Mission street with vellow and makes of it a hallowed place. That it had wrought the sulvation of the city it made no secret. That its motives were high and holy it made no attempt to conceal. Nobody believed it, yet few knew that the paper thus modestly spreading the knowledge of its virtue was a daily scoundrel and an evening crime. Once the Bulletin was respectable. Three years ago it struck the downward path, and ever since its descent has been by leaps and bounds. Now it has reached the lowest depths of journalistic degrada- tion. It'is a frightful example of degeneration. For its pretense in the matter of giving news it might perhaps be forgiven, but when it schemes to swindle merchants and by the methods of the hunko world induces them to sign contracts the im- port of which is unknown to them, the time for pub- lic protest scems to have arrived. If the scheme by which it is trying to exact pay from business men for “advertising” they never knowingly contracted for is not blackmail, a curions public would like to know what it is. Nothing more contemptible was ever known in journalistic and commercial circles. Caught in the act of fraud, it hurls epithets at all who refuse to approve of its course, and threatens those who have the boldness to resist demands which have no more basis in equity than the demands of the non-journalistic gar- roter, who, knife in hand, endeavors to collect. The sulletin of to-day is a pitiable example of dishonesty in journalism. ¥ | "HE Bulletin’s favorite pose is that of a re T e Gam— THE RIGHT SPIRIT. ACRAMENTO is to be congratulated upon S the spirit which prevails among the members of her municipal administration. As ex- pressed in the speeches made at the recent gathering in the office of Mayor Land, it evinces a complete harmony of sentiment and a purpose to work to- gether for the general welfare of the community. Mr. Bently, speaking for the Trustees who will serve for the coming two years, said in the course of his address to the Mayor: “I desire to extend to you our assurances of confidence and a desire to co- operate with you in harmony, good will and a com- plete understanding in all matters affecting the pub- lic good.” He referred to the existence of rumors that the board would make exacting demands upon the Mayor and oppose his policy if the demands were not granted, and disposed of them by saying: “I desire to say on my own behalfi—and I believe I am voicing the sentiments of my colleagues—that so far 2s placing obstacles in your way by the present board is concerned, you will find that such rumors are false and unjustifiable.” If the Mayor and Trustees can firmly maintain this friendly and helpful attitude toward one an- other the coming two years will be memorable for municipal progress and improvement in Sacramento. The people have already attested the existence of a public sentiment strongly in favor of profiting by the opportunities of the new era. This was done first by the election of Mayor Land and again by the over- whelming vote in the city for the construction of the Folsom boulevard. Popular support is there- fore assured for an administration of enterprise and good government. The new officials have only to go forward in the way they have begun to accomplish much for their city and indirectly for the State at large by setting an example of what can be achieved when men in authority work together instead of wrangling over a division of the spoils and mutually knifing one another to gratify spite and avenge petty grievances. R m——— The duty of exposing a new style of fake prac- ticed by the Examiner is undertaken this morning. It had been supposed that this paper had reached the limit before and would be content with the spread- ing of bogus news and buncombe comment. No- body thought that it would deliberately try to fleece the public through its business office. It was never accused of conscience, yet policy should have for- bade. But the Examiner procured a lot of chromos and in its efforts to work them off on the public managed to swell its columns with an undetermined number of fraudulent advertisements. This course not only misled many who depended upon the ad- vertisements for information, but robbed the genuine advertisement of its value, thus swindling in two distinct ways. What the chromo is to art the Examiner is to journalism. But the natural bond of sympathy thus created is given an undue importance when recognition of it takes the form of a confidence game. The advertiser and the person who scans the advertisement in good faith are alike entitled to pro- tection against_such methods. Undertakers seem to be in distress over the clos- ing of the old City Cemetery. However, there is no need to expend sympathy in their behalf. They knew in advance that the law provided for the clos- ing, but took for granted that the law would be ig- nored. Wherein for once precedent misled them. To attempt to draw a lesson from the circumstance that a 10 year old boy at Santa Rosa killed his H vear old sister by shooting is natural, but wholly useless. To the end of time the boy of this age will go right on killing his sister. It is a matter of des- tiny, and to fret about it is a waste of effort. e gne O An Oklahoma widow who took poison because the man she loved had kissed another woman was strangely illogical. Her gatural and proper revenge would have been to hunt up another man and kiss him. i The spectacle of a School Director kicking another s0 as to render the simple act of sitting down a mat- ter of discomfort does not tend to earn respect for the board. The members of that body ought to be encouraged to sit down. Li Hung Chang is wasting the valuable time he devotes to protesting against the thieving pro- gramme of the powers. There is no probability that they went into pirate and highwayman business with an eye to winning his august approval. The rumor that Senator Platt intends to resign is less startling at second glance. It is another Platt. The New York gentleman is believed to have entirely outgrown the resignation habit. While the Kaiser has been doi/ng the talking the listening ear might have caught the sound as of a saw steadily ot work. England scems to be the owner of the saw. Anyhow Bismarck has ascertained that when his time has come to die he will make a bigger stir in'the world than many a live statesman. v GIVE ME THE SEAI OO000SO00C000C00000D00000C0O00COCOTOTO0ISDITOTOOCO0 No shore for me!
