StjiA §riiftttf Bftalcl WEDNESDAY, DEC EM B KB 10,1878 The DAILY HERALD has nearly DOUBLE the Circu lation of either contempo rary paper published in Los Angeles. As an advertising medium It Is consequently of DOUBLE their value. The Senatorial Question. Governor Booth stands to-day the leading figure in the popular move* uient. Whatever doubts there may have been about his statesmanship, his Piatt's Hall speech dispelled them. His bold and vigorous speeches during Ihe whole campaign were a succession of triumph" in what seemed to old pol iticians a desperate cause. He gave form and shape to the People's reform movement, which led to the triumph of McKinetry. He had a conscious regard for the public welfare that in clined him to break his party chains for the public good. His resolute will and high purpose carried him to the front of tho contest. His logic con vinced and his eloquence captivated the people. He created, organized and led. He went to the people with a sincere open heart. He was earnest in their cause and pointed out the rem edy for their wrongs. They believe In him, love him, bet on him, and •wear by him. We pity the members who cannot recognize his status in the public mind. Woe to the Democrats and Republicans who undertake to harttr together to defeat him. The people have had enough of treachery, of political combination and trailing for office. The Democrat who is not willing under these circumstances to unite on Booth for the long term nnd on au honest man of his own party for the short term, Is weak in judgment or unsound In principle. The people are watching this contest. The Gran gers ere looking on. No factious fight, for a long period, with a view of post poning the election will be tolerated. The people are rising, speaking and acting in their majesty, and he who does not heed the people's voice in this batter had better never return to his constituency, be it in what county it may. Governor Booth's recent message has more than ever proved high qual ifications for the high position, it is a Stato paper of unsurpassed force, ability and clearness. California's Share in Tariff Leg islation. We are glad to see a prospect for uni ted action In favor of a modification of the tariff*, so far as it affects our west* e.rn Intends. The tariff" as it now stands is a great and nnnecessary bur den upon the Industry of this coast. Pennsylvania and New England, by united and untiring effort have always succeeded in building up and fostering their manufactories at the expense of the whole country, and it is time that wther localities look out for their own particular Interest I *, The Mississippi valley State* are gradually waking up to tho tact that they have been imposed upon. The Pacific States should be ready to act with them for such changes tire de manded by tho common good, and with aueh an accession, the free trade oolainn will be strong enough to over come the scheming monopolists who . hare ao long laid the farmers of the west under contribution. And while our Granger friends are so busy light ing monopolies, it would be a good Idea to give some attention to the greatest of all monopolies, a high tar iff for class protection. Tho tariff falls on California farmers with crushing weight The tax on jute and bagging alone abstracts a heavy sum from their earnings every year. Over lt>,000,(W) grain bags are used In ft siugl j year, and the number Is increasing. Not only Is a tax levied on the new bags, but after being filled with wheat ami exported, the old bags must, again go through the Custom House and pay duty. Tho people of the State feol this burden and desire its removal. The only way to accomplish such a reform Is to follow the example of New Eng land, and work for the desired end in aeason and out of season, subordina-; ting all other matters to this import ohjeet, and smothering all minor quar rels which impair our strength and iufloenee. While the press is felicitating it self upon the great improvement in public morals as indicated by the con viction of Tweed, would it not be well to call attention to the marked differ ence In the treatment of the rich man and the poor one, when the law by some unaccoutable blunder consigns them to the same prison? A starving and freezing wretch steals a pair of boots, or a morsel of food, and virtuous New York sends him up for twenty yuan' hard labor, making shoes. Tweed plunders the public of millions mid demoralises a whole community, and gets a situation as hospital order ly for twelve years, while Stokes, for murder, Is appointed a clerk at Sing *!lng for four years. Verily, not only before the courts, but even in the con demned cell gilded rascality is at a premium. Tii have triumphal in Pennsylvania. A decision i\ at ren dered on Friday by tho Pennsylvania Supreme Court, that the Constitu tional Convention had usurped powers when it called an election, and passed an erder restraining its commissioners tfcatr pewe"n. Governor Booth on the Railroad Problem. The following in tho portion of the I Governor 1 * message thnt refers to freights nn<l fares. PerhajH the question of regulating the rates of railroad transportation has been clouded by unnecessary difficulty. Railroads are public highways in pri vate ownership. In their construct ion they invoke the highest attribute of the State's sovereignty—the right of taking private property for public use. Their owners are common carriers with special privileges. If the State has not the power to regulate their charges, she may renounce her claims to sovereignty. The maximum rates in California—ten cents per mile for passengers, and fifteen cents per ton freight—were fixed at a time when prices and profits were so much higher than now, it seems to belong to a dif ferent age. Practically, it is no limi tation, affording so wide a margin as to allow a railroad company to dis criminate between places, between in dividuals, to reward friends and pun ish enemies, and to build up or ruin the business of any man that depends upon railroad transportation. This maxnnim is not in the nature of a legislative contract, or vested right, the Constitution reserving to the Leg islature the right to alter or repeal the laws under which corporations are created. These things should he kept in view in establishing rates: There should be a fair compensation. Discrimination between individuals should be pre vented by penalties. Discrimination bet ween places should be prevented by prohibiting a railroad from charging a higher price over any portion of the road than is charged for the same or ti shorter distance of similar or heavier grades in any other portion. The rates and classifications should be published and posted up at all depots, as the own ners of toll bridges and ferries are com pelled to post their rates; and public notice should be given of any contem plated change. Any express or trans portation company should be entitled to the MBit terms, for the same busi ness, in speed, and price, as any other. If a fair maximum is established, and uniformity between individuals, and over distances and grades is com pelled by penalties, the question of classification may be in a great meas ure determined by the necessities of business. It may not prove necessary for tho law to schedule articles in classes. Maximum rates can be fixed for as many classes as are required, and the companies can make and pub lish the schedules of each class. It easily suggests itself that the result of such legislation may possibly be one schedule, one class, and the maximum rate for every article transported. I do not think so. But if tho experience of the ensuing two years should de monstrate that railroad companies, with fair opportunities to construct and operate a just tariff of rates of transportation, failing to recognize les sons already taught, and pursuing an established' policy of strong-handed defiance, have neglected or refused to perform their duties, the next Legisla- I ture, exercising the strong and un doubted powers of government, can , reach them and their operations in i minute detail, forbid free passes, sched ule every article of freight, establish ; minimum as well as maximum rates, , prohibit tho consolidation of com pet ing lines, permit them to own no land not necessary for their actual use, for bid employes to furnish supplies to the corporations, regulate their sys tems of accounts, and compel them by clear enactments to recognize their true position, their real obligations, and their prescribed privileges. No law is perfect. Under the operation of the wisest, some eases of hardship and inconvenience may occur. That is the best which aims at substantial justice. There is no local competition between railroads; there is but one best route between two points. Besides, in rail road capital does not compete—it combines. Not to compel fairness and uniformity by law is to tolerate the abuses aim oppressions of arbitrary power. Compulsory Education. Otir State Superintendent iveom niends compulsory education, and Governor Rooth while not exactly en dorsing his arguments in Its flavor, yet gives the weight of his official influ eneo in its favor. In the main we like the ideas advanced in the Governor's late Message, but the idea of compell ing the attendance of our youth at the public schools, however forcible the arguments in its favor may seem, do not appear to us to be consistent with his other professions. The Governor and the reformers generally seem to be impressed to some extent at least, with tho great truth that we are governed too much. Our Government is get ting altogether too paternal, and is sticking its noso into many things that are none of its business. The people are beginning to realize this. They want change, and instead of going still further, and invading even the sacred 'precincts of the family, to carry out some Utopian scheme of uni versal education, they ask that the State Hhall relax its hold upon their domestic affairs, and leave them some thing to attend to without Govern ment interference. Govkrxor Rootii may well call attention to the abuse of special legis lation. The State of Illinois found that such intolerable evils flowed from the practice, that in its new constitu tion special legislation WM cut off at one fell swoop, and yet we are follow ing right on In her abandoned path. Of six hundred and thirty-seven acts passed at the last session of our legis ture, only ono hundred and fifty-two were of a general character, and many of these could have been dispensed with, if a general law covering their scope had been adopted The only safety lies in a rigid exclusion of spe cial legislation from our statute books. San Francisco papers are congrat ulating themselves, because Sheriff Adams stole thirty-odd thousand dol lars Ies 1 * than his predecessors in office. If tho sheriffs keep improving at that rate for a few more terms, they'll get a man after awhile who will astonish the world by paying all the people's money into the Treasury. The Governor makes one excellent recommendiitlon—that the law should prohibit The carrying of concealed wwepeas Land Monopoly and Taxation. Kditoi: Herald: Among the many remedies for the evils of land mon opoly, the latest is foreshadowed In a paragraph in Governor Booth's mes sage, In which it is recommended that taxes shall only be levied on land, while the improvements thereon, and personal property are exempt. It is urgedthat this will throw the burden of taxation upon the owners of unim proved lands and town lots, and com pel them to throw their possesions into market. The chief objection to this plan is that it violates the plain, honest principle of equality before the law. All property being entitled t<> equal protection should bear an equal proportion of the burden of taxation, and any plan l»y which a certain class of property is made to pay more than its legitimate share, is simply dis guised confiscation. There can be little doubt that the unimproved lands of the State, have in many instances, escaped paying their fair share of the taxes, by reason of under-valuation, and would-be reformers would show more wisdom in striving for the reme dies within their reach and withal strictly just, than by seeking to over turn toe whole system of taxation. If all the property in the State were as sessed at a fair cash value in the mar ket, taxes would not only be equally apportioned, but incidentally, the di vision and sale of our largo landed es tates would be encouraged. If indeed confiscation in any form is to be practised, let us go at it boldly, and after prohibiting any one person from holding more than say <>40 acres of land, condemn to tlie public use all in excess of this amount held by any one owner. By this means the State would become the owner of the sur plus land by purchase and the exercise of sovereignty, and no one could com plain of unequal taxation, or confisca tion. It is generally conceded that no Individual lias the right to monopo lize the waters of the State, and is water more important than land? If the State has the right to restrict the quantity of water that an individual shall appropriate to his exclusive use, why has it not the same right to limit the area of land that he shall absorb? Possibly the people of the State are not ready for such a radical change in the policy that has obtained of allow ing every one to grab all that he can, but we are sure that very few will ob ject to a just and equitable valuation of all property, and a thorough system of taxation that will not allow any species of wealth to escape its just share of flic expenses of the State. The Alto proposes to demolish the Grangers by having tho Republican party grant them all they ask for, and thinks that this plan,by leaving them nothing to stand on, will effectually disjKise of the new party. But what will become of the Republicans if they follow the Alta's advioe? That party is essentially a monopolist's party,and if it should yield to all the demands of the reformers, there would be nothing for it to do but curl up and die. Till: LAST Argus literally spreads itself over the at tractions and advan tages of San Bernardino county. The citizensof that fine valley ought to cir culate thousands of that number of the Argm in the east, and pay the enter* prising publishers well for their trou ble. The gubernatorial chair of Nebraska seems to have a demoralizing effect upon Its incumbents. Governor But ler was impeached for theft, and now Governor James has been indicted for the same offence.
