HEN first The - Call exposed and de- nounced the corporation scheme embodied V ' in Assembly constitutional amendment No. #8 it declared a conviction that the schemers would | Bot attempt to defend the amendment before the peo- ple, but would work secretly and silently to bring about its adoption by the votes of such follow g as the corporation bosses can control. That conclusion was based upon the secret and tricky method em- ployed in getting the amendment through the Legis- lature. trengthened by the fact that notwith- standing The Call repeatedly denounced the scheme and challenged its supporters to defend it, only one paper, the Evening Post, did so, angd even that paper was silent after but one article. Final confirmation is given to the statement that trickery would be used to carry the amendment by the information published in The Call yesterday that five large corporations have raised the sum of $250,000 to promote the suc- cess of the scheme. . The viciousness of the measure is evident from the fact that no one appears in public to advocate it. The State conventions of both parties denounced it in their platforms. Many county conventions have de- nounced it. The legislative bodies of various coun- ties and cities have denounced it. The California League of Municipalities has denounced it. As a rule the press of the State has denounced it. In fact, with the single exception noted, every one who has spoken publicly concerning it has denounced it. The only campaign that is being made for it is a secret canvass in which the argument used is not reason but coin. The universal condemnation of the scheme is due to the fact that if carried through it will place all pub- Jic utilities and well nigh all large corporations out- side the pale of local government. A board of five Commissioners to be appointed by the Governor will have sole control and supervision over all our larger corporaticn activities. The people and the local au- thorities of no community in California will have any control whatever over even such strictly local matters as the supply of water, gas and electricity. The whole system of local self-government in such mat- ters will be swept away and a central board will rule all. | The manner in which the Board of Commissioners is to be constituted is one of the most vicious fea- tures of the whole vicious scheme. There are to be ! five members of the board, one to hold office for two | years, one for four years, a third for six years, the fourth for eight years and the fiith for ten years. Three members will constitute a majority of the board, and thus for six years to come the board will be under the control of men not one of whom was elected by the people. Should the banded corpora- tions be zble before the six years are over to pro- «ure the election of a tool of their own to the board to fill either of the vacancies that occur in that time they will prolong their power; and, in fact, they may be able to keep a pliant majority on the board con- tinuously, and thus the people will have no redress whatever for any kind of wrong committed by a corporation controlling even an article of such neces- sity as water or light. X It is tc be borne in mind, furthermore, that the board is given authority by the amendment itself to appoint deputies and clerks in every county and mu- nicipality in the State. There is no limit to the num- ber of such appointments. The board may appoint | as many as it chooses and just where it chooses. Here is a chance for jobbery on a large scale and an | enormous increase in the number of tax-eaters, for of course each and 3ll of the deputies and clerks are to be paid by the State out of taxes levied on the people. The plan of the corporations is to make a secret canvass for votes for the amendment. They carried it through the Legislature by trickery, and they hope to carry it by the same tactics on election day. De- spite the strength of public sentiment against it, there is danger that a good many voters will neglect to vote ngainst it, while the corporation following will be carefully instructed to vote for it. Thus it is possible the corporations may win. Their one chance of suc- cess, however, i$ to avoid public discussion. What- ever directs popular attention to the measure tends to defeat it. For that reason all good citizens should It w | for the forest is the timber. 1 PROGRESS IN FORESTRY. HE CALL has long advocated a proper forest- T ing of the Government timber reserves. Such foresting requires that, after the fallen leaves have served their purpose as a forest floor by holding ithe moisture in the rainy season, they should be | cleared off by burning. This conservative use of fire is necessary to prevent the destructive effects of fire in forest conflagration. 1f allowed to accumulate Iyeav— after year the faflen leaves and limbs and bark form a thick duff, which in the dry season is not only exceedingly inflammable itself, but makes a fire that reaches the lower limbs of small trees, which in | turn ‘réach’ the lower limbs of large trees and serve as a torch to set on fire the whole forest, which burns from the ground to the tops of the tallest timber. ! We have frequently described the method by o | Which the Indians preserved the great forests of this continent, which - were their home and hunting- ground. They used fire in the spring on the dry spots as they appeared, and when they did the for- csting a general forest fire was unknown. It has | been objected that this conservative use of fire de- stroys the annual placts, flowering and others. But this is incorrect, since all testimony bearing on the primitive condition of our forests joins in proving the great abundance and beauty of the wild ferns and flowering plants and grass and other forage found in the virgin forests. The official and expert reports on the destruction of timber by forest fires in the State of Washington show a loss in that State alone amounting to more than thirty millions of dollars. This loss is estimated cnly on the merchantable value of the timber de- stroyed, and does not include the losses that follow to agriculture, horticulture and navigation as the re- sult of stripping off the forest. When the losses in Oregon 2nd California are added to that in Washing- ton it will be demonstrated that in these three States enough potential wealth has been destroyed by for- est fires to buy, at a reasonable valuation, every acre of standing timber in the United States and subject it all to such control and to such conservative for- esting as would preserve it forever as a forest do- ain sufficient to supply the country with timber and lumber perpetually. The forest reserves of the Federal Government have not escaped the destructive effects of fire. From the reservations in Southern California comes the complaint that these reservations are rapidly be- coming ugeless for the purposes for which they were set apart by reason of the impossibility of protecting them from fire by the means furnished by the Gov- ernment. Congress at its last session cut down the appropriation for ranging, guarding and protecting the forest reserves to $300,000, a sum totally inade- quate for the purpose. This renders necessary the dismissal of a large number of forest guards and practically condemns the reservations to destruc- tion. 3 The frequent fires in the Yosemite Park reserva- tion have admonished the military superintendent, and he makes the proper recommendation of a rem- edy in line with the policy persistently advocated by The Call. In his report to the Secretary of the In- terior he recommends that stricter regulations for the control of tourists and campers be made and en- forced, and that fallen trees, pine needles, cones, limbs and leaves be systematically burned every year. This, we believe, is the first official recommen- dation of that absolutely necessary policy. In Soutkern California, where exposure of the watersheds by burning the forests is drying up the artesian wells and ‘destroying the means of irriga- tion, it is proposed, propeily, that the administra- tion of the forest reservations be transferred to the Agricultural Department, where there is a well equipped Bureau of Forestry' under the superin- tendency of Mr. Gifford Pinchot. The relation of the forests to the conservation of moisture, and of this to the fertility of the soil and to agriculture, make it clear that the Agricultural Department is the proper place from which to administer the forests. The recommendations of the superintendent of the Yosemite Park and the transfer of the reservations to the Agricultural Department will mean that pro- fessional foresters, trained men, and a sufficient num- ber of them, will be employed in preserving the for- ests of the country. What use to carp at the cost! The merchantable timber destroyed on this coast in one summer Tep- resents a sum that will take care of every trée on the continent for a half century. If all forests were in Government control and carefully administered the economic output of timber and lumber would not be decreased. It would rather increase with the growing needs of the country. The only use millmen have They don’t want and don’t use the land when it is stripped. Their business would go on just the same if they paid stumpage to the Government and harvested merchantable and ripe timber under the supervision of experienced foresters. The Government has jurisdiction of har- bors and navigable waters, to preserve their potential wealth. Without the forests and their direct and in- direct relation to the wealth of the country navigable waters and harbors would be useless. New York people are so puffed up with pride over their big hotels and clubhouses that they no longer look for rivalry on earth, and the New York Trib- une asks with cold hauteur, “What are they doing in Mars to excel us?”’ S — l party that can bring from the Eastern extreme of the republic an advocate of its principles who pre- MR.

Mr. Littlefield’s speech on Wednesday eveding at the Pavilion had a magnificent audience and deserved it. Throughout it was an eloquent, powerful, plain statement of principles, with their illustrative application to con- ditions which affect the welfare of the people and the interests of ail the country. The Congressional candidates in the two districts in this city indorsed by the Democracy have heated themselves by a campaign of personal nagging, de- traction, abuse, belittlement and bluster. Especially has this policy been pursued toward Mr. Kahn by his high-topsy-turvy opponent, whose picture appears by the yard in his organ nearly every morning. He has attempted to impeach Mr. Kahn's fidelity on the Chinese question in the last session. Turning to the report of the proceedings of the House on the Ghi- found that two great speeches were made for the House bill, one by a Republican, Mr. Kahn, and the bear the matter in mind 2nd taik of it to their friends. | other by 2 Democrat and a leader of his party, Mr. Let the scheme be voted down by 2 majority big | Champ Clark of Missouri. Kahn and Clark stood enough to crush it forever. shoulder to shoulder through the whole fight for the nese bill, as reported in the daily press, it will be { House bill. No Democrat in the United States can give more reliable testimony as to Kahn's course than Clark can give. In his speech Mr. Littlefield read a telegrat from Champ Clark, of a recent date, saying to Kahn, "You did your full duty on the Chi- nese bill.” . It was balm to the Republicans and a bomb to the parctic Examiner camp. That paper and its para- noiac candidate must now prove that Clark—Champ Clark, Missouri Democrat, and chosen by his party in the House to represent it in the anti-Chinese fight —is a falsifier if they continue to attempt the im- peachment of Mr. Kahn. This interesting episode and the whole tone of . Littlefield's speech made it memorable in our politi- cal history. It brings into strong relief the painful position of the California Democracy, which is not able to put forward a man who can rise to the high level of the Maine statesman nor attempt to match his calm and convincing statement of principles.

There is now sick in New York a man who is said to be the, wickedest man in the United States. He is 70 years old, has been tried sixty-eight times for various offenses ranging from gambling to murder, but has never been convicted. His cleverness has been always too much for the detectives, and while they have had strong evidence against him any num- ber of times they have never been able to make it stick. General Bragg having been-removed from service in Cuba because he said the Cubans afe unfit for seli- government, is to be sent to China, where he will doubtless have occasion to make the same kind of statement, but the Chinese won't kick. Now that the Grand Army enmlfipment at Wash- ington is over some complaints are heard against the Kansas men because they carried to the meeting several carloads of corn and rye in the form of grain instead of taking it in bottles. 4 The State campaign in New York has reached the point where Bird Coler, Democratic candidate for Governor, is gencrally spoken of by his opponents as “the Coler, bird,” and within a week or two he will ! doubtless be known as a jay: o THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1902, ASTRONOMERS TRYING TO LOST SIXTEENTH IND A SECON e | FRENCH ASTRONOMER MAKING OBSERVATIONS FOR THE TRACING OF THE LOST FRACTION OF A SEC- OND, WHICH IS THE DISCREPANCY OF TIME BETWEEN THE GREENWICH AND PARIS MERIDIANS, AND HAS BEEN WORRYING THE SCIENTISTS.FOR YEARS. second could be so valuable that a score of eminent scholars would devote years in searching for it is sur- prising, says a contributor to the North American.

It by the question is meant a son borm to American parents while traveling through a foreign country or to Ameri- can parents while the father was in the diplomatic or other service of the United States, the answer is that while such a child is a citizen of the United States, there has never been any judicial deter- mination as to whether such a child when he attains the proper age would be eligible to the Presidency under the constitution, which declares that the candidate must be “a natural born eiti- zen.” The point will never be determined until passed upon by the Supreme Court of the United States. —_———— Prunes stuffed with apricots.
