EBATES at the Fruit-growers’ Convention D now in session in this city furnish another proof that the fruit industries of California have reached that point in their development where the marketing of the crop becomes the chief issue the producer. There are of course many things yet to be discussed and learned as to the best means of managing orchards, selecting varieties of fruit for different localities, destroying fruit pests and increasing production, but the main effort at present is directed toward obtaining better markets or cheaper and prompter access to existing markets. It is not strange that it should be so. Compared with the fruit industries of other States those of California are yoling, but such has been the rapidity of their development that they surpass those of any other State. In a paper read at the first day of the convention it was pointed out that shipments of Cali- fornia fruits to the East have increased from 16,000 carloads in 1890 to 66,000 carloads in 1900. So huge an increase in the output in so short a time naturally gluts the existing channels of the trade. The mer- chants of the country who handle the fruit have not been able to keep up with the increase in the quan- tity offered them to handle, and consequently the producers suffer for a lack of adequate markets. A similar condition has prevailed at times in other lines of industry. In fact, the increase of produc- tiveness ir nearly all lines of American industry has made such-experiences common. At the present time the railroads themselves have been caught napping and find themselves lacking in facilities for handling fhe traffic offered them. Reports have come from manufacturing centers of establishments that have bad to refuse orders solely because they could not get cars to haul their goods. So strong has been the pressure for more rolling-stock that the orders given for cars and locomotives this year are well nigh be- yond the capacity of the car and locomotive build- ers to supply, so that the glut appears in spots all along the lines of our industrial life. Such conditions cannot be permanent. It is not for nothing that we commonly speak of trade as flowing in channels. Commerce is, in fact, governed by laws very much like those which regulate the run- ning of waters. When an obstruction stops the flow of water there is for a time a cessation of the stream, but eventually the water either finds a new channel around the obstruction or else overflows it. So it is with trade. An obstruction here or there never per- manently stops it. There is no reason to believe that the fruit supply of California is yet equal to the full needs of the American market. The trouble is that through the existing channels of trade the fruit cannot find its way to the market. Better methods of transportation and of distribution would soon put an end to every appearance of a glut. i To devise a means of reaching the whole American market expeditiously and cheaply is now the problem which engages the attention of fruit-growers and fruit-dealers alike. It is a difficult problem, but in the end it will be solved. American energy and sagacity have never yet been balked by difficulties of that kind. If nothing else avail we can imitate the Southerners, who, when they found they could not sell their cotton at a fair price, proceeded to manu- facture it at home. California can find a profit in working up into preserves, jams, jellies and confec- tions a large quantity of the fruit which she now sends East to be sold for what it will bring. ~ The present glut may therefore in the end prove to be a profitable experience for us. s before 1f our Eastern frieads needed anything more in the way of lessons to teach them the folly of arjmitting Chinese to this country they can find it by reading re- ports of the highbinder war that has just broken out in this city. It is not easy to enforce American law even in an American city where the Mongolians are permitted to live in any numbers. For a little while the Gexans have ceased de- nouncing American competition and the British war policy. The action of the Kaiser in removing from command a colonel who was respoasible for a fatal duel in his regiment has given them troubles of their own to talk about A MENACE TO ALL. Y the resolutions submitted by B Brazunhart on Monday public once more directed to the extraordinary | commission whose appointment is provided for by ! Assembly constitutional amendment No. 28, to be submitted to the voters of the State at the next elec- tion. The Call has several times pointed out the per- nicious features of the scheme, but the subject is one to which reference cannot too often be made. In fact, 2 continuous campaign of education should be carried on against it until ail citizens have been fully warned of its dangers and its defeat at the polls has been as- sured. The amendment in question provides for the cre- ation of a State Commission of five persons, who are to be clothed with powers to fix all rates and charges for transportation of passengers and freight, and all other services by all common carriers; to fix all rates and charges for water, electgic light and power and gas; to fix all rates and charges for telephone and telegraphic service; to fix all rates and charges for sleeping-car companies and corporations, and to make regulations concerning the same; to fix the rates and charges for express companies or corpora- tions and all express service, and also to make regu- lations concerning them. With respect to the powers.prescribed the com- mission is to be the successor to the Bank Commis- gioners, the Insurance Commission, Boards of Super- visors, City Councils and other governing bodies of counties, cities and towns in the State: In-fact, so far as regards fixing rates and making regulations for the various services stated, the commission is to be supreme, and it is also clothed with power to exact 8 license from all persons engaged in any of the speci- Bied industries. Finally, it is provided that any license fixed by the commission shall be conclusively deemed just and reasonable. A commission clothed with such extraordinary. powers would be objectionable on that ground alone were it otherwise commendable. The proposed com- mission, however, is made still more objectionable by the manner in which its members are to be chosen. It is provided in the amendment that the commis- sion shall be composed of five members—the first 'set to be appointed by the Governor for two, four, six, &ight and ten years, and aiterward they are to be elected at the general elections for terms of ten years, their salaries to be $6000 per annum, with power to appoint as many attaches as they see fit. Here, then, is a proposition to-give the Governor power to appoint a commission.which will take over to itself a considerable portion of the powers now vested in local authorities or in -existing commis- sions. Of the members thus appointed one would serve for as long as ten years, another for eight: The majority of the original appointees would serve for six years. It would have dealings with every-impor- tant corporation in the State. It would override all local authority in the regulation of many matters which concern the locality alone. In short, it would go far toward destroying local self-goversiment in af- fairs where it is of highest importance that local gov= ernment prevail. : Can it be necessary to point out to any. intelligent: citizen what would be the certain result of the adop- tion of the proposed amendment? The commission would be appointed by the Governor, but at the -dic- tation of the great corporations. It would be a Her- rin commission,” and he would hold it for six years at least. Even when the time came for the people to elect 2 member of the commission the corporations would unite to bring about the nomination of a ser- viceable tool of their own for the office. THe cor- porations could well afford to pay high for control of a commission with such extraordinary powers, and it is a foregone conclusion they would not hesitate to make the payment. The Braunhart resolution provides that the- Mayor shall appoint a committee of five to communicate with all Boards of Supervisors, City Councils and Town Trustees throughout the State for the purpose of arranging for joint action in working to defeat the scheme. The resolution has been referred to the Judiciary Committee. It is to be hoped it will * be promptly actéd upon. It is true the election is still far off, but where a campaign of education upon a new issue of such importance as this has to be car- ried out it is always wise to begin early. Supervisor attention is It is said that many of the Cubans who are in Washington to work for reciprocity are really in favor of annexation and are using the reciprocity scheme as a step in-that direction; so it would seem there is not a single reciprocity proposition now be- fore the country that hasn’t some kind of a trick in it. B ficer of the Second Uhlans, is publishing what may be called arimed essays, in which he makes a large number of German invasions of other countries and wins victories which make the laurels of Von Moltke, Waldteufel ard Unser Fritz look as if they had been'exposed to the frost. The Herr Baron in- vades the United: States and lays us prostrate at the Kaiser's feet in a few pages of active campaigning. He is good enough to say that our country is too large to be overrun territorially, but we.are to be conquered “by cutting the great arteries of exporta- tion and importation, so as to paralyze the industrial and commercial life of the United States.” He makes no note of what we will be doing while this process of cutting our.goozle string for paralytic purposes is going on, but states exactly the number of men his country will need to paralyze us, and it will be just 96,000. Against this force, which is to fall upon us as “a surprise,” by the way, he estimates that we cannot oppose more than 20,000 men. As he remarks that our troogps are still armed with the old- style muzzle-loader guns, he finds no difficulty in having our 20,000 men consumed and digested by his 96,000. After we are laid low he is not certain whether we will be incorporated as a province in the empire or ruled as a colony. Frankly, we share the uncertainty with the Herr Baron. We can’t make up our mind which we would like better, and are dis- posed to spar for time until we find out. We suppose that after .we are caught and tamed the Herr will kindly unpafalyze us, give us the use of our-limbs again and let us take the air under proper guard. A iz Now, we desire to warn the Baron that all this. busi- ness will violate the Monroe doctrine. - Has he heard of Major Monroe of our Revolutionary army? Well, the Herr Major Monroe had a doctrine, which we beg the Herr Baron to sufficiently respect, because the Herr Major Monroe is dead and cannot receive his apologies. Surely if the Herr Baron will not re- spect our muzzle-loading guns and our “great arteries | of importation and exportation,” and our other feel- | ings, he will respect the dead. et S But, alas! what can one expect from a Herr ‘BQrgn i+ GERMAN WAR TALK ARON VON EDELSHEIN, a German of- : B ( | i 5 who is a Uhlan? Probably the best we can do is to take our “great arterie¢ of importation and exporta- tion” in nights, and ring the curfew on our 20,000 men so that they can be kept off the streets and out of danger during the dark hours, and then wait, pa- tiently until our fate overtakes us. All the Bryanite papers are expressing great hopes of a fight between the President and the Republican majority in Congress, but it goes without’saying that they will be disappointed. The Republican majority in Congress is large and strong, but it will none the less have all the fighting it wishes to do in keeping the Bryanites quiet and making them behave them- selves. PROTECTION FOR LABOR., M of the President's message is the emphasis L “with which it insists upon the rights <of American labor and the duty of Congres$ to provide for its adequate protection against any unfair com- petition that tends tg/drag it down to lower levels ‘of living. To that doctrine the message returns again and again, and it is thus made evident'that it holds a foremost place in the President’s mind and is never for a moment overlooked in th¢ consideration of any issue of statecraft. In referring to, the death of McKinley the President notes particularly: that he was “one of .the strongest champions the wage-worker has ever had,”‘and goes on to say: ‘He had just been- re-elected. to- the’ Presidency ‘because the majority of our citizens, the majority of ‘dur farmers and wage-workers, believed he had faithfully upheld their - interests for four years.” In urging the creation of a Department of Commerce he states that the course proposed is ‘part of a comprehensive scheme ‘for securing our busi- ness interests on a safe basis and making firm. our new position in the international -industrial ‘world, while ‘scrupulously safeguarding the .rights of the wage-workers and capitalists, of investors and pri- vate citizens, so as;to secure equity between man and man in this republic.” % £ CHE Passing to a direct consideration of the welfare of workingmen he says: - “Not only must our labor be protected by the tariff, but it should also be protected so far as possible fraom the presence in this country of any laborers brought over by contract, or of those who coming freely represent a standard of living so dcp'resséd'thnfi‘ they can ~undersell ‘our men in the labor market and drag them to a lower fevel. I re- gard it as necéssary, with this lend. in: view, to re- enact immediately the law: excluding Chinese labor- ers and to strengthen. it wherever necessary in order to make its enfgrcement entirely effective.” - Passing -op to; the . labor ~problem generally. the President - ¢ordially commends, the organization of | labor, and says:! “Very great:-good has been accom- plished {by, ‘@ssociations, or unions, of wage-earners when managed with fcrethought and when they com- bine insjfieflc'; upon their dwn rights with law- abiding: respect for the rights of others.” He then adds: “When all is said and done the rule of broth- erhood remains as the indispensable prerequisite to success «4n the kind of” national life for which we strive.” ' The study of our immigration laws leads t him' to say“that we should exclude all persons “who | are belof¥ a certain standard of economic fitness to enter our industrial field as competitors with Ameri- can3.labor, . There should be proper proof of a ca- pacity to earn an American living and enough money to insure @ ‘decent start under American conditions. This would stop the influx of cheap labor, which gives rise to so much bitterness in American indus- trial life.” Finally, in discussing the tariff and reciprocity, the' President says: “Our first duty. is to see that the protection granted by the tariff in every case where it is needed is maintained, and that reciprocity be sought for so far as it can be: safely done without in- jury to our home incustries. Just how far this is must be determined according to the individual case, remembering always that every application of our tariff policy to meet shifting national needs must be conditioned upon the cardinal fact that the duties must never be reduced below the point that will cover the difference between the labor cost here and abroad. The well-being of - the wage-worker is the prime consideration of our entire policy of economic legislation.” ' These statements are expressions of the truest Republicanism, and it is grntifying’ to find them so clearly and emphatically asserted by the President. It is indeed a cardinal doctrine of all Republican platforms that the well-being of the wage-worker is the prime consideration of economic legislation, and it is for that reason that, despite the ravings of demagogues, the mass-of the American people re- main true to the party and support its candidates. —————— e OHRISTMAS FOR THE POOR. A French of the Salvation Army announces that in accordande with a custom pursued for many years the army is now making preparations for pro- viding .a bountiful Christmas dinner for the poor of the city, and appeals to the benevolent for assistance in the work. : The letter states that last Christmas the army gave dinners to over 2000 people in this city, and through- out the whole country to upward of 160,000. It is the aim this year to provide for fully as many, if not more, and accordingly a liberal- response from sym- pathetic' persons is desired as promptly as possible. That. there are a large number of: deserving poor in the city to whom such a gift of Christmas cheer will be necessary for an enjoyment of the great Christian festival is indisputable. ~ Despite the pre- vailing prosperity there are many who have not shared in it. Ill-health, lack of work or other inci- dents attending the life of the poor have prevented them from profiting by the general welfare of the country. To these it is only right that help should be given at all times, and particularly at the season when it is the desire of all that something of the Christmas joy should come to every man, woman and child in the community. ¥ The effectiveness of the service of the Salvation Army in caring for the welfare and the wants of the poor is well known. Any charitable work under- taken by them needs no indorsement. The record of the army, is' the guarantee. All who give to this un- dertaking .of the army may be assured that every- thing contributed for the poor will go to the poor. The contributions, there_ftjre,,shonld be both liberal and prompt.
