A FLUSH COMMENCEMENT. UNE is the commencement season in our Ameri- J can academies, colleges and universities. At that scason former graduates make pilgrimage to their alma mater, to meet again and renew their college days by mingling with their successors of a It is a season of sentiment, of younger generation. reminiscence and of pleasure. A great majority of the schools of academic grade, and above, in this country are limited in their useful- ness by lack of endowment. Their original founda- tion was adapted to the then present demand, but the growth of the country has caused such an increase in the demand upon them that their income is insufficient for the work they are expected to perform. This is true of the State institutions as well as of the private foundations. In the public land States the universities had landed endowments which if retained until now would have furnished an abundant capital. But the lands were sold at a low valie and all of those insti- tutions are pinched for money and have to be borne by the taxpayers as a burden which many resent. The State University of California is an example of this profligate waste of a landed endowment, which if held until it acquired its real value would have produced AR is actually on between Venezuela and { One strong continental power would do | It certainly is to be hoped that the | about fifteen millions of dollars. In this strait and stringency it is gratifying that pri- vate citizens are rallying to the support of higher edu- cation. Last June, the commencement season, was made memorable by the donation of nearly thirteen millions of dollars to twenty-four academies, colleges and universities in this country. -It was a glad season to preseat students and past graduates, and one of especial cheer to the members of the faculties and financial officers who have to struggle to make both ends meet. In the list of amounts Washington University, St. Louis, leads with gifts to its endowment amounting to $5,000,000. Brown University, Rhode Island, is second with $2,000,000 added to her endowment. Yale is third with $1,667,000, for buildings and schol- arships, and Harvard is fourth with $1,462,075, all for two buildings for the medical and architectural depart- ments. It is gratifying that of the total amount so much was added directly to endowments. In addition te the seven millions given for that purpose to Washing- ton and Brown, Milliken University received $150,000, | Smith College $101,000, Beloit $350,000, and Syracuse | $75,000, making a grand total of $7,676,000 added to scholastic endowments. The importance of this is that the income of that sum goes into the general fund of the fortunate insti- tutions, and will enable the paying. of better salaries to the professors, tutors and teachers. For this titere is a crying need. The call upon the higher schools of America is louder every year. The demand for well equipped teachers therein is beyond the supply, and the supply is short because the pay is poor. We have seen the average income of the teachers in our acade- mies, colleges and universities stated at $1200 per an- num, excluding the salaries of president. At that rate entering upon a professorial career is accepting gen- teel poverty at the beginning of a career, with no prospect of improvement in one’s condition. This is not saying that a fit teacher should make money the first consideration and the enlightenment of mankind 1<:condary. But teachers and professors marry, they | rear families, and their work is apt to wear them out | early in life, and everywhere may be found their wid- | ows and children just on the edge of indigence. It is fi a distressing condition that ought not to be, and those who have observed it will rejoice that last June was a flush commencement, and that so large a part of the golden shower was added to endowments to increase appreciably the salaries of the men and women whose devotion and genius make our higher schools as ex- cellent as they are. This is a subject that comes home to the rich men and women of California. Our State university has |an endowment notoriously insufficient. The pinch | hurts along the salary nerve of the institution. The { members ofthe faculty, who are admirably fitted for their work, are poorly paid, and as they pass away their | places may not be as well filled, because professors | must live decently and not leave their families to pov- erty. Under such circumstances we may witness a de- | cadence in the institution. Millions should be added | to the endowment. Let us hope that coming Junes | may see a flush commencement at Berkeley. — | In the Oklahoma town of Lawton the authorities | are lenient toward gambling, but have placed an ab- §<olu!e prohibition upon the use of cigarettes.

We put his statement in this form: “That personal property pays its tribute to real prop- | erty, therefore realty should pay all the taxes and personalty should be exempt.” In a letter irom Mr. Purdy, which we publish, ex- i ception is taken to this form of statement of his prop- | osition. We took our statement of his position from [an address delivered by him to the merchants and manufacturers of Detroit, Mich., on the 28th of last April. In that address he said: “Where you have | once exempted from taxation any class of property { which is the product of labor, or the evidence of the | ownership of the property, you will never recede. To extend encouragement to manufacturing industries lwithout showing any partiality or favoritism, without conferring a special privilege, you must exempt ma- | chinery, merchandise, credits and money. Personal property must always pay a tribute to the owner of real property, and that tribute will be high where the advantages of doing business are great.” We think that our condensed statement of his posi- tion was correct, since there is no other inference possible than that realty should pay all the tax. When the products of labor, and machinery, manufactures, icredits and money are exempted, there are left but | two sources from which to derive taxes for the sup- port of government, franchises and real estate. We observe that in the membership of the Tax Reform Association, of which Mr. Purdy is secretary, are D. O. Mills; Dodd, Mead & Co.; Phelps, Dodge & Co.; J. Pierpont Morgan & Co.; W. R. Grace & Co.: {Lord & Taylor; R. H. Macy & Co.; Steinway & Sons; Oelrichs & Co., Bradley Martin and a large | number of the bankers and millionaire firms of New York. What Mr. Purdy says about a land mortgage tax |is perfectly correct. If the realty of California is worth a billion dollars, and a billion dollar mortgage | is put upon it, there is no more property in Califor- nia than there was before. Therefore to tax the land at a valuation of a billion and the mortgage at a bil- lion is to assume that the property of the State has been doubled by mortgaging it. Our mortgage tax 1 is no benefit to the borrower, since he pays the tax ' HE CALL recently reviewed the position taken { in the form of interest, but it does prevent double taxation. Mr. Purdy leaves our question unanswered. We asked what tribute realty in San, Francisco would get from Mr. Carnegie, if he established his legal resi- dence here, to balance his exemption from a tax of three millions, which would be due on his fortune of three hundred millions? The theory upon which Mr. Purdy and the single taxers proceed is that moneys, credits, the product »f labor and all personalty pay a tribute to realty, which it really passes on as tax to the public treasury. If that theory can be demon- strated, the real estate owner appears merely as a tax collector, and. that method of taking taxes has the great merit of economy and simplicity. But we want to know in what form and how Mr. Carnegie would pay a tribute of three millions to realty in this city. Mr. Purdy must see that if his theory is correct the term “exemption” as applied to personalty is mis- used, since the personalty is not exempt becatse it is taxed in the form of tribute to realty. It is evident, too, upon reading his Detroit address carefully, that the tribute to realty paid by personalty is reduced by the amount of tax levied directly upon personalty, and that realty will gain in tribute just the amount of direct tax that is taken off personalty, but will pass it on to the public treasury. . Mr. J. Pierpont Moigan may hold the bondds whic] represent the value of the billion dollar steel trust. He is coming here as a temporary resident. If his residence became permanent, and his personalty therefore became taxable here, by what plan can realty exact from him tribute equal to the tax his billion of personalty should pay? We ask in the spirit of in- quiry. Henry George's theory having got into the distinguished company of the New York millionaires, we desire to see whether it gains anything by that association. A Chicago man says he finds that life is joy living without a stomach. He must have been a steady cus- tomer of the restaurants of the Windy City. A another to the many lessons the people of Cali- fornia have already received on the urgent need of establishing a comprehensive system of forest protection. Fire after fire breaks out, and, while most of them are promptly extinguished, a consid- erable number sweep on until they do damage enough MORE COSTLY LESSONS. T this season of the year almost every day adds | to constitute an important item in the news of the day. During the present week two stories of far-reaching forest fires have been reported. A dispatch of the 12th inst. from Redding announced: “One of the fiercest and most destructive forest fires in the his- tory of Shasta County has raged for four days along the headwaters of Stillwater, ten miles north of this city. * * * Seven farmhouses have been destroyed and the loss of fencing will be great. * * * The fire is still rushing southward. It has burned over an area more than twenty miles long and five miles wide.” b A day later came this dispatch from Chico: “The about fourteen miles east of Chico for the past four days last night reached proportions that alarm the entire populace from the west branch of Feather River to Butte Creek.” The report went on to give an account of residences and farm buildings destroyed by the flames, and closed by saying: “The firc is sweep- be destroyed within a few hours. up into the thousands.” How many more lessons of that kind will the peo- ple of California have to receive before they learn wisdom from the successive losses? The cost which the maintcnance of an effective system of forest pro- tection would entail would be much less than the annual loss from fires, and therefore there would be a saving to the people in that way without counting other benefits which would result from forest con- servation. The loss will run It is a foregone conclusion that in the end we shall have to undertake the work, and its beginning can- not be much longer postponed. Our forests are vast, but not so vast but what waste and fire can destroy them. The alternative is a plain one—either we are to have forest protection or a barren land. THE RECIPROCITY TREATIES. ESPITE the assurances that have been given D from time to time that the supporters in the Senate of genuine protection are sufficiently strong to defeat the reciprocity treaties now before that body, it appears the matter is not one of cer- tainty. Washington correspondents of several of the leading papers in the East announce that it is under- stood at the capital that while Babcock’s scheme ‘for revising the tariff will receive little or no support, a strong effort will be made to procure the ratification of the treaties. One of the most notable of these reports is that Senator Cullom will probably be chairman of the Sen- declared himsclf in favor of the treaties that in itself would increase the chances of ratification. The Presi- dent himself is reported to be inclined to urge the approval of the treaties as a means of “allaying com- mercial irritation and preventing threatened European retaliation by the mutual concessions provided for in the treaties.” The report so far as it relates to the President does not seem to be well founded, for about the only treaty affecting Europe that is now before the Senate is that with France, agd the ratification of that could hardly | have the effect of allaying any irritation that may be felt by commercial interests in Germany, Russia and | Austria, the only countries where there has been talk | of retaliation. While the reports may be exaggerated and to some extent unreliable, it will not do for California and | other States whose industries are threatened by the treaties to ignore them. The very fact that they are repeated so often shows that the advocates of the treaties have by no means given up the contest. Such Republicans as favor them will of course have the support of the free trade element in Congress and in the country, for the free traders now perceive that if reciprocity of the kind contained in those schemes can be carried out it will be a comparatively easy task to undermine the whole protective system by reci- procity methods. The supporters of a comprehensive system of pro- tection should be prepared to make on this issue a straight fight and without compromise. The Repub- Jican party has in its platform declared for a reci- procity that is not inimical to protection, and has d>fined it. To that declaration every member of Con- gress who calls himself a Republican should remain true. The people have a right to demand such fidel- ity and should make the demand known in no uncer- tain terms. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 415, 1901.

ORIENTAL DIPLOMAT TAKES A RIDE AROUND THE “LOOP THE LOOP.” £ things quite plain to him, he recklessly risks his august person in his desire to find out “just how it feels.” With this laudable desire he has been trying the “Loop-the-Loop” at Connecticut avenue and the Broadwalk. It is just back of the Rudolf, where ‘Wu is staying. The rush of the cars, as they make the fatal flop, is frequently audible above the roar of the breakers on the beach. Wu had, of course, asked what the weird thing was, and how it worked. He was anxious to try it. but a little shy of going it alone. So a party was made up and Minister Wu was taken over to see the wheels go round, and to go round himself, if he would. At first he merely looked on and asked questions, plenty of questions, so many questions that the manager, who under- stood the theory as well as the practice of the “loop,” had to be brought out to elucidate. Still he watched the cars and their hu- man freight whirling around the big circle, and still he did not understand why they did not drop out. He ap- pealed to his own party. Had any of them ever done it? ;Several of them had. Did they like it? “Immensely!” This with enthusiastic conviction from Miss Blanche Heck, who has the “loop” habit pretty well developed. Wait, and she'd show him. So Minister Wu watched Miss Heek fly around and land laughing, but unhurt, at his feet again. And he decided that what | didn’t fease an ordinary American girl | ought not to be too much for a Chinese mandarin and Minister. So Wu climbed in. He settled his cap more squarely on his | head, hesitated whether to put his goggles | on or off, hid his fan somewhere in the | voluminous folds of his gown and braced | himself for what was to come. And it came! Very gently at first. It al- | ways does, you know. Smooth, easy sail- | ing it is until you reach the top of the | semi-circle, making for the loop. Then! Minister Wu held his breath—held it | tight.

They | had swung around to the top of the in- cline, and Minister Wu found his breath | again. ! He asked the attendant in an anxious | tone whether they went through the | agony again, and seemed relieved at the assurance that it was all over. ‘When the car stopped he was asked | what he thought of it, and his answer | was a politely evasive comment on the | greatness of the American people.

PLATS OF LAND—S, City. The Gov- ernment does not issue a general map showing what are public untaken lands, but land officers are authorized to furnist 4 plats or dlagrams showing what lands are vacant and what lands are taken. The charges allowed by law are: For plat showing what land is public and what is entered, $1; one showing entrles ana names of claimants, $2; one showing en- tries, names, number and character of land, $3; one showing entries, names, number, character and date of entry, to- gether with topography, $4.

The law which gives certain rights n the matter of taking up a homestead to those who have been soldiers or sailors in the army and navy of the United States dur ing the recent war says that such are en- titled to have deducted from the time rs- quired to perfect title the time theyr served In either branch of the service when steps are taken for final proof. The advantages which such soldiers or sailors have over ordinary citizens are: The privilege of filing a declaration with the register or recelver, which will hold a tract, selected in person or by agent, for six months without entry, residence or cultivation, and the right to make flnal proof before the usual time of five years. WEDDING INVITATIONS—Ignorance, City. Invitations to a wedding are sent out from the bride’s family, no mat- ter whether they are personally acquaint- ed with the friends of the groom or not. In case both parents are living, the invi- tation should be in the following form: Mr. and Mrs. John Smith request the pleasure of your attendance at the marriage of their daughter to Mr. William Brown, Wednesday evening, August 14, 1901, at Church, 8 o’clock. If but one parent is living the invita- tion is in the name of that parent. If the wedding is to be at home, substitute lo- cation of the home for the church. FRECKELS—Subscriber, Stockton, Cal. There are a great many preparations that are recommended for the removal of freckles, but all are of a nature that cause the outer skin to peel off, and the use of such ought not to be attempted except under instructions of a competent physi- clan. “New Remedies” gives the follow- from a German medical journal. Of its efficacy this de partment knows nothing: Sulphocarbo- late of zinc, 2 parts; glycerine, 24 parts; rose water, 2 parts; spirits, § parts; dis- solve and mix. The freckled skin is to be anointed twice a day with the prepar: tion, which is to be allowed to remain on from half to one hour and then washed off with cold water. Anaemic persons should also take a mild ferruginous tonic. In the sunlight a dark veil should be worn. — 1 | Cholce candies, Townsend's, Palace Hotel* ———— Cal. glace fruit 50c per lv at Townsend's.*® —_——— Special information supplied daily to | business houses and public men by the Press Clipping Bureau (Allen’'s), 510 Mont- gomery street.
