FUBLIC UTILITY BONDS. ored to present the argument £ g i the issue of pal bonds for the purchase of public ver that argument has been pre- ed to be unanswerable. If it be business administration under t in ost by paying the principal and administra- issue and the cost of tion, and enlargement. Then the people can see t ¥ hey stand. This is impossible terest, or other items, are preci when s charged to be issued, as has been done in New York, for en- largement and betterment, and made 2 burden on the general § The w ois, Ohio and other States, includes this demand that pubiic utility bonds rest entirely upon the income of the property for which they are issued. Indeed, it is not saying too much to say that | everywhere the old and expensive plan of making such bonds or the plants which they purchase in any spect a burden on the general taxpayer is obsolete, and cities ‘like Oakland and San Francisco surely will not ipvolve themselves in a plan that is utterly discredited by experience. In Kansas City, Mo., the people are just reaping the harvest of that mistake. In 1895 that city issued bonds and took the water works. In the first year of their gperation by the municipality the income and. salaries and wages werc the same as for the previous year under private ownership, the income being $397.627 and the salaries and wages $78,298 At a aqecent meeting of the Improvement Associa- tion Judge Brumback submitted the subsequent sta- tistics which show that, in the six years since, the inccsme bhas increased only 13 per cent while salaries and wages have increased g3 per cent, and that the plant is out of repair, extensions are required and there are no carnings to make them, and more bonds must be issued to bring the supply up to the de- mand. The figures also show that there has been no de- crease in rates to the householder. To offset this, however, Mr. Reed submitted figures to prove that, while the householder has had no reduction and is paying the same rate that was exacted by the private water company, the large corporatiops, like the stockyards and packing companies, get their water at one-fourth the rate paid by the householder! Whatever comfort there is in that is the only solace of the householder. The conclusion of the meeting was that “city water management stands forth before the wvoters and taxpayers as a horrible example, warning them not to allow themselves to be misled into further muanicipal ownership experiments”; and the «ity water plant is referred to by the press of the city as “the water works elephant.” While the rate remains the same to the house- holder, his property is taxed to make good to the general fund the drain of the bonds and the excesses of city administration of the plant. Kansas City has a population of 163,752. Oakland has 80,000. It is a good time for Oakland to begin right and stay right and know what she is doing. The people of Nevada are earning our esteem and eternal gratitude. The manner in which they are harvesting our crop of escaped convicts is good to the California soul. While we regret exceedingly to let anything get away from us, even a savage human brute, it makes us glad to secure the return of what we have lost by our painstaking and courageous neighbors. It is interesting also to observe that in this strenuous work Nevada has not yet found the co-operation of the militia an essential to success. Mayor Harrison of Chicago, several times chosen zs the chief executive of the Windy City and va- riously mentioned for offices of emolument and dig- nity in the nation, has announced that at the expira- tior: of his term he will retire and seek rest. It is al- ways encouraging that when one of our office-holders determines to find quiet and peace of mind the rest oo |tration and the compensation of Republicans is te naking every public | THE MAYOR TO REPUBLICANS. HE letter of Mayor Schmitz to his friends in Tthc Republican Convention would be more re- | markable if.it were original It is the reflection | of the success of Mr. Livernash, who, by a precisely | | gimilar move, got the Democratic endorsement for | Congress while holding himself entirely free of obli- } | gations for the favor. | The Mayor proposes to be the ngminee of the 5 Union Labor party and to accept the Republican en- | dorsement, provided he is permitted to write the Re- | publican platform. It will be seen, then, that he puts a condition to | his aceeptance of Republican support and frees him- | self from all obligations for such support. \ His administration will be a Union Labor adminis- be the pleasure of supporting him. | hat is no unfair statement of the terms Mayor | Schmitz offers. It is true he says he is a Republican in national politics, but his record refutes the state- {ment. Thus he says in his letter to his “friends in | the Republican convention™ “If your platform shall be such that I can conscientiously support it, | I should not refuse a nominafion at the hands of a |party to whose declared national principles and policies I have ever given my strongest adherence.” That statement comes queerly from a maa who in | the last congressional campaign made a journey from | San Francisco to New_ York to urge the election of | | a Democratic candidaté for Congress. Does Mayor : | Schmitz really believe he was giving his “strongest | | adherence” to the declared national principles and | policies of the Republican party when he was stump- |ing the New York tenderioin for Hearst? | Setting that issue “aside for the time, the question | for the Republican party to consideg is whether it "can afford to take Mayor Schmitz on his own terms | and ribbon him with a premium at his own estimate {of his merits. A man must be quite great and in | high favor with gods and men to occupy such a 1posui0n as he claims. The Mayor has proven him- | self prudent in some situations during his term, and !of this he makes the most in his letter, by presenting | himself as the master of labor and the muzzler of its | tendency to threaten capitah This is an appeal for the support of capital by pro- | claiming a power to keep labor in the traces and Erestrain it from doing damage. Perhaps the Republican party will consider the }necd of such a high sheriff set over the element which the Mayor says he can control to be greater than its need of organi¢ vitality and individuality. If so it will take the Mayor at his own estimate and | abandon its independent function as a political party. | On the other hand there may be those in the party who will revolt at the dictation of the conditions under which they are to be permitted to vote for the Mayor. Some may not revolt at playing second fiddle, but the Mayor insists that the second fiddler must use a soaped bow. Wi few months four hunters, mistaken for hin a ver; | deer, have been shot to death by their friends. While this may seem to the compiler of mortality statistics |2 most lamentable showing, the rest of us have | taken courage and congratulation to ourselves in the | fact that State laws provide a closed season in which deer may not be hunted and human beings may not | be killed as a pastime. Noises of threatened war upon Russia are hum- ming through the cables from Japan. It would not | be uninteresting to know if the little brown man of the East takes himself seriously in these demonstra- tions of a militant spirit. A bantam rooster is an | amusing object in his fighting moods, but when one locks at his spurs and thinks of the bear one is tempted to believe that there can be something worse | than the Spanish-American war. { | S nity of his life this winter. Holding a command- : ing position among the Democratic members of | Congress it is within the reach of an able manager | af men to so control and direct them as to induce them to adopt and maintain a definite policy of ac- tion with respect to the legislation of the session. | Should he succeed in formulating a statesmanlike programme and in bringing his Democratic col- leagues into a cordial support of it, the chances are that he would go into the national conveation with a prestige above all rivals and so obtain the nomina- tion for the Presidency on a platform that would give him a reasonable chance of winning. | It is well known that Gorman is a colorless politi- |cian. He is not a free trader, he is not a high pro- tectionist. He is not a Cleveland Democrat, neither is he a Bryan Democrat. He stood with his party in 1896 and in 1900, but he did not affiliate with the | men in conwol at that time. He holds, therefore, a middle of the road position between the two fac- tions and if he be adroit enough may succeed in bringing the following of both sides over to his sup- port. Were nothing more needed than to bring the fac- tional leaders together the task would be easy to the astute Marylander, for he is a past master of the art of handling political machines. It happens, however, that something more than the machines will be need- ed in the coming campaign. Democracy demoralized and discredited must be reformed through and through before it can command the support of the consrtivc elements of the people, and without the suppdrt of a considerable percentage of that element it haé no possible chance of electing its candidate. Gorman must, therefore, form a platform which will hold together the stalwarts that have followed Bryan and at the same time win over large numbers of men of the class that made Cleveland's election possible. That is the issue before him and this winter he is to have an opportunity to meet it and solve it if he can. A moderate man himself, with no decided convic- tions one way or another, Senator Gorman naturally believes that what Democracy needs most just now is a mild and conciliatory policy with respect to every issue in sight. He appears to be especially desirous of conciliating those large combinations of capital | whose newspaper organs have displayed an open an- | tagonism to Roosevelt, and it seems he has already | succeeded to a considerable extent. The Washing- ton correspondent of the Boston Transcript in dis- cussing Gorman’s course says: “It is said that in many high finance circles he would be regarded as a THE GORMAN CAMPAIGN. ENATOR GORMAN is to have the opportu- whose renomination is assured. a Democratic candidate is unlikely, but that it would greatly lessen the usual enthusiasm of business circles for the Republican ticket and so check the flow of ‘safer man’ at the helm than the present President, |the money expended in civic stilling for one campaign some of the heaviest of their opponent’s artillery, even if it were not actually ranged on their own side.” ‘That Gorman intends to make the best use he can of his opportunity is already apparent. He has de- clared himself adverse to any factional opposition to a currency bill, he has diminished the cry for free trade down to a suggestion of tariff reform, he has declared that trusts are not an issue and has asserted the importance to Democracy of getting rid of the old issues of 1896, That he will do his uttermost to get his Democratic colleagues in Congress to accept the policy of moderation is certain. His campaign has been virtually begun and one of the most inter- esting features of the coming session will be the struggle between him and the radicals of his party: In the developments of the trial of Whitaker Wright, which is now progressing in London, it has been revealed that the losses to shareholders in one company alone were twenty-five million dollars. The manipulations of this audacious and swindling oper- ator illustrate at least one fact. If one cannot make in Jife a splendid success in playing”with other peo- ple’s money, he can make the world stand aghast at his gigantie failure. OUR FRUITS IN EUBOPE. ONSULAR Reports for August contains a ‘ report from Consul Britain of Kehl on Amer- ican dried fruits in Germany and one from Consul Ridgely of Nantes on the opening for dried fruits in France. Neither gives a detailed statement of the situation, but each contains information of interest to American fruit producers and especially to those of California. Moreover, despite their brev- ity, the reports can be read with satisfaction, for they give promise of the coming ef a time when we shall have a large and profitable market for our fruits in those countries. Of the German market Consul Britain says: "“For this part of Germany, namely, Baden and Alsace Lorraine, 1 find the outlook for increased sales most encouraging. From the leading importer in the western part of Germany I learn that California prunes and apricots are rapidly supplanting the pro- ducts of France and Germany, The California fruit is cheaper and its flesh is brighter and more solid.” Consul Ridgely says of the outlook in France: “There is a growing market in all western and north. western France for American dried fruits (the prunes of Southern California being most in request) and the demand is unusually active this year because of the almost complete failure of the French crop, * * * The merchants here are interested in California prunes, dried apricots and dried apples; they wish particularly to hear from California firms that will export those products direct to Nantes, as they do not care to do business through the middlemen at Antwerp, Hamburg and Liverpool.” A word of advice is given by Consul Britain with respect to packing and shipping. He says: “Speak- ink of the packing and drying, my informant tells me that he has no fault to find except with the man- ner in which the boxes are put together. He says there would be less breakage if the bokes were dove- tailed instead of being simply nailed. Regarding the time in transit, he says he has experienced con- siderable annoyance and some loss of trade in con- sequence of shipments being declayed en route from California. One shipment was over ten weeks on the way: the buyers think the goods were held in New York several weeks.” The suggestions deserve the attention of packers and shippers. Dovetailed boxes would probably cost more than those nailed together, but it might be found profitable to make use of them for shipments to foreign countries. The delay of goods in transit 1t New York could doubtless be overcome by the exercise of judicious prodding from this end of the line. In short the European market seems worth having, and if so then of course it is worth work- ing for. It is reported that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria entertains a serious intention of abdicating as King of Hungary. While the report is probably un- true, one could not censure the aged monarch, or anybody else who values his life, from getting as far away as possible, either in person or influence, from the bloody scenes of the Balkans. The slaughter of the Turks and of the Macedonian “liberators” fur- nishes good reading if nobody else is hurt. DUMFERLINE EXPERIMENTS. C ARNEGIE’S gift of $2,500,000 of 5 per cent bonds to Dumierline, his native town, for the purpose of “introducing sweetness and light into the monotonous lives of the toiling masses” is altogether the nearest approach to originality in the way of 2 public benefit that he has yet accom- plished. It is to be noted that the money is not de- voted to any specific form of conferring sweetness and light, nor to any particular kind of light and sweetness. Virtually the donatioff serves as an en- dowment for an experimental school of public philan- thropy. The trustees of the fund are at liberty to try whatever methods they deem best and may change them at any time. In delivering the fund to the trustees Mr. Carnegie exhorted them to not to be afraid of making mis- takes, but to go ahead trying various plans as they may be suggested from time to time. ‘“The problem before you,” he said, “involves no question but that of determining what can be done in towns to bene- fit the masses by money in the hands of the most public-spirited citizens.” He went on to say that if the experimenters could demonstrate that such help could be given successfully they would “open new fields for the use of wealth.” Thus Dumferline is to become an experimental station in philanthropy, and the world will watch with more than ordinary interest the results of the early experiments. It is to be hoped the trustees are men of original and inventive minds and will devise schemes worthy cf the attention that will be given them. It is a foregone conclusion that the tax- payers will try to get the revenues used in such a way as to lighten the burdens of taxation to some extent. The trustees will have to fight against that proposition. Next there will be the invariable rush of “grafters” seeking to get the money directed in some channel that will benefit them. Against those also the experimenters will have to contend. Again, there will be well-to-do citizens who will try to have luxuries for their : That this would | class rather than for the toiling masses; and, finally, lead to the actual identification of high finance with | there will be many of the toilers themselves who will try to get an unfair share of the donations. It is an old saying that it is harder to give money away wisely than to .earn it, and doubtless the trus- of us are sure to find it.

AUGUST 27. PARK’S VERDURE FOR THE FAIR AT ST. LOUIS pie TR 2 S8 President A. B. Spreckels of the Board of Park Commissioners has notifled the California Commissioners to the St. Louls Exposition that all the plants that are needed for the institution of a typleal collection of the characteristic growths of California to surround the California building on the exposition grounds at St. | Louis will be supplied by ~Golden Gate Park. Mr. Spreckels writes that the Park board has decided to grant the re- quest that was made for such specimens from Golden Gate Park and that Super- Intendent McLaren has been instructed to give all assistance neeessary to the St. Louis Commissioners. It is supposed that the show of Cali- fornia shrubbery and trees will make ‘a, striking appearance at St. Louis for the reason of its pecullarity and because the California buflding will be placed on a hill where it will be seen all over the ! grounds. The shrubbery and trees will also tell the truth about the climate of | San Franeisco to millions of spectators ! who will view them while the exposition | lasts. To-day a conference will take place at the University of California relative to | the preparaton of a great educational ex- | hibit at St. Louls, {llustrative of the pub- lic school system of California. Among | those who are expected ‘to attend the conference are President Wheeler of the | University of California, State Superin- | tendent Kirk, Professor James A. Barr | of Btockton, J. A. Foshay of Los An- geles, T. O. Crawford of Oakland, C. L. MeLane of Fresno, J. B. Linscott of San- | ta Cruz, Superintendent Langdon of San | Francisco, M. L. Daly of S8an Jose and F. M.

In 1902 the assessed { valuation of Alameda County was $83,899,- | 997, while this year’s returns show $105.- 874,881, an increase of §16,974,884 for the vear.

Since passage of the Stanford the constitutional amendment €alifornia residents have been exempt from the payment of registration fees. Immediately following the adoption of the amendment there was a wonderful increase in the number of students regis- tering as residents of California. As a result of this attempt tp evade the registrar the board of trustees of the uni- versity have defined what students shall be considered exempt from payment of the registration fee. President Jordan has posted the following bulletin on the sub- Ject: The board of trustees have directed that stu- dents shall be registered from the place from which they originaily enter the university; that is, a man cannot gain or lose his residence by entering a school. Only those students should be regarded as residents of California who were originally registered from that State The following is their resolution covering this matter: “That all students having lived in the State of California for at least one year before their first registration as students shall be presumed to be non-residents so long as they may remain connected with the univer- sity as students; that this regulation applies to old as weil as to new students. That the treasurer of the university shall collect the registration fees before the registration of stu- dents.” In case any injustice arises from this rull the proper remedy is to be obtained by presen ing his case in the form of a petition to board of trustees, which will consider the matter, in the case of students wishing > enter for the coming year, at its meeting on August 29. DAVID S. JORDAN, President. As a result of this definition of a Calle fornia resident student a great many stu- dents have been obliged to pay the fee this year, although they had not done so previously. Many have paid under pro- test, and their cases will be acted upon at the next meeting of the board of trus- tees.
