The fact that “nat “citizens” oveg forty vears of age ars now recording their American vativ at the City Hall is something of an indica- tion that while our yvellow fellow citizens do not be- lieve in delay, they also do not believe that it is ever too late to act. THE TAX-SHIRKERS @T BAY. s expected, the telephone corporation has :ced to pay the taxes which it owes to the city, and Tax Collector Scott has been com- ,.r-vc-d to resort to the courts to enforce the rights of the municipality, It is another phase of the old . people against the tax-shirkers, the law against those who violate it. It is an issue which can | have but one end. The law must be supreme. The | corporate monopolies may evade and dodge, and per- haps even defy the law for a while, but sooner or later victory must be on the side of the people, or | otherwise popular government will be a failure. | It is worth noting that at this time the aggressions of telephone companies have gone so far as to arouse resistance in all paris of the country. We have had occasion recently to direct attention to the action “aken to obtain redress fgom such aggressions in Massachiisetts and in Washington City. Now come reports of an outburst of public indignation in Phila- deiphia caused by a job put up by the telephone com- | panies in that city. It appears the corporation there | seeks to obtain the passage of an ordinance which will issue of | place it, like the telephone corporation in this city, well nigh outside of municipal control, and it is charged that corrupt means have been made use of to achieve that end. The Philadeiphia Times, in commenting on the subject, says: “It is an open secret that Councils have 4 been seen and persuaded to pass this tglephone or- carried that method of construction so far as to see | when it de- | In other words, the | icle claims to be a stalwart Republican | 8 = E | during the Street Fair can do so during the State | na! doctrine and theory.

It is worse ¢ blunder; it is 2 public crime.” The Philadelphia case is pertinent to the issue here because it shows the aggressive nature of telephone corporations. In the end a comprehensive system of tate and municipal regulation will have to be es- tablished over such corporations in order to protect public interests.

It was a credit to her enterprise and a splendid ion of the floral products and beauties of that n of the State. All California shares her p n her fruits and flowers and in the soil and sunshine from which they were produced. During the progress f s exhibition, when its gratifying succe first assured and when the time was appro £ felicita ces: ence to the State Fa ch Sacramento owes so much and which has played so portant a part in the development of our State’s resources. The Record-Union states that now Sac- ento has discovered her independence of the State to itions. That Sacramento could exist without the State Exposition is dmg;t]c:s true; she could do so without the Street Fair, and should she t of the State prise of her tion would still perpetuate her, But it does not fol- low that it would be to her advantage to lose them, nor w for her public journals to adopt a policy which would jeopardize their continued m enance. Some communities do not forget an old friend as | | soon as a new one appears, some do not deem it con- | sistent with a spirit of proper progress to abandon one resource as soon as another is attained. We be- | | lieve that the Record-Union misrepresents the enter- prising people of Sacramento, and that that commun- ity can maintain both a successful Street Fair and a State Fair, and, if necessary, a citrus fair and other | organized movements for exploiting to a wondering | world her many advantages. The recent Floral Fair was organized by friends of the State Fair and in its | aid, and the State Association lent it every assistance | and encouragement. The two exhibitions cover differ- ent fields and exist wholly without conflict. As asource | of advantage and revenue to Sacramento they are not | to be compared. The annual appropriation of from | fifteen to twenty thousand dollars for the State Fair made by the Legislature is largely locally distrib- | | uted. Many thousands of dollars are annually paid by the State Fair management for wages of labor and salaries of employes, which nearly all goes to Sacra- | mento people, while from the stables in training at the track of the association a revenue of many thou+ sands of dollars per month is derived by that city. | The advertising resulting from a State Fair and the | prestige of being the headquarters of the Agricultural | Society of the State, with the greatest possibilities in | that direction in the world, | Sacramento should not be insensible. The Record-Union further draws invidious com- parison between the moral complexions of the two | fairs, neglecting to place the responsibility upon the | city authorities, who control such matters, rather than | upon the fair management, which is not responsible for it. The same authority which enforced the law Fair. It would have been graceful for the Record- | Union to have given credit to the new executive and | police administrations of Sacramento for their present [ good work, and have expressed reasonable confidence | that they would continue it. In the course of its ex- | traordinary article the Record-Union takes occasion State Fair. Proper denunciation of this statement might be considered out of place here. This is a re- | flection upon the pranagement of the State Fair which a rollcall of its directorate, past and present, suffi- ciently rebukes. The flower of California’s industrial and social citizenship has graced our great annual State Fair by its attendance. A list of the patrons and exhibitors of that Fair since its organization would disclose nearly every name connected with the romantic history and marvelous development of Cali- fornia. As a regult largely of the lessons taught and learned at its annual agricultural exhibition this State stands at the very front of America’s progressive agri- culture, The State Fair needs no defense; it will continue to be held at some point of this State which will properly maintain and apprecigte it. That Sacra- mento is such a place we feel assured. 3 Tn 1899 her enterprising citizens by their aid to it made the State Fair of that year one of the greatest in its history, and extended its fame all over the West. We believe that they will do so again; that they ap- preciate every influence which works for their ad- vancement, and that by their support of that insti- tution they will not indorse the expressions of a journal which misrepresents the true sentiments of its city. .
