The resolutions follow: "Whereas, the probability of Bryan and Kern carrying the state of Cali fornia will be greatly increased and thereby the likelihood of their election to the presidency and vice presidency rendered more assured by the nomina tion of Democrats of ability, character and standing as candidate for con- gross, state senate, assemblymen, su pervisors and other local offices; be It "Resolved, That the Democratic league urges the election at the pri maries of able.

BOYLE HEIGHTS LEARNS REPUBLICAN SOPHISTRIES Warner Declares That Under Taft's Definition There Is No Trust. Why Pacific Coast Lacks Ship Yards Boyle Heights residents fell into line nobly last night in organizing a Bryan- Kern club with a large charter list. The gathering at 2114}j East First street was signalized by a cheering, confident concourse of Democrats and Republicans, all of one mind concerning the best standard bearer. Adam Dixon Warner, in his address, evoked applause when he said that from Mr. Taft's speech it was evident that the reported rupture between Mr. Harriman and the administration was mythical. Continuing Mr. Warner said that un der the Taft definition of a trust there is not a trust in the United States. "Not since the days of Mark Hanna have the trusts had such a special de fender as is Mr. Taft," he said. "The United States Steel company, with its assets on December 31, 1907, of $1,758, --113.1113, is not a trust under his defini tion; the Standard Oil company is not a trust. "Yet there are more than 1700 trusts and every housewife and every toiler in the land knows that everything they use and wear, and eat, is in the hands of the trust*. "Every man who toils knows that an income of $890 now is no better than an income of $611 ten years ago. In other words it now takes $8.90 to buy ■what $6.11 would buy before the Ding ley tariff and the trusts began their ■work of exploiting the American people. "The distinguished gentleman's criti cism of tjie Democratic Injunction plank is unworthy of so eminent a man. When I first began the. study of law I learned that it was elementary, that ther« was a broad distinction and dif ference between the sovereign process of the court and an order of the court. "There is this distinction: The one, the process of the court, is an integral part of the Machinery of government; the other, the injunction, Is an extra ordinary remedy to be exercised only In extraordinary cases, and is an order based upon an adjudication of a prima facie case. "The trouble -with Mr. Taft is that he was one of the first in this country to use the extraordinary remedy in only very ordinary cases, until it be came so objectionable to the American people that the liberty of every man is In danger hy reason of the abuse of the Injunction. "Upon the Philippine question Mr, Taft says. 'It is quite unlikely that the people, because of the dense ig norance of 90 per cent, will be ready for complete self-government or Inde pendence BEFORK TWO GENERA TIONS HAVE PASSED.'

"He says the election of senators by the people is not a party question. It Is not a party question for the Republi can party, because the Republican con vention absolutely ignored It; but it was made a party question by the Democratic convention, and its plat form demands the election of United States senators by the people. I know of no more important thing In the gov ernment of this country than that very question, except it be the guarantee of bank deposits demanded by the Demo cratic platform. "If the people of this coast want to get out FROM UNDER the exactions of the trusts, the domination of rail road control, the competition of Asiatic labor, and want cheaper lumber and cheaper transportation, and lower prices for the goods they are compelled to buy from the trusts, they have the opportunity now." Mr. Warner concluded by saying that the steel trust sells ship-bulldlng ma terial to Scotlsh shipyards $15 a ton less than it dops to the Union Iron works at San Francisco. If there were no steel trust there would be a ship building plant In every harbor on the Pacific coast. BRYAN AND KERN CLUB IS FORMED IN SEVENTH WARD Democrats Meet at Scott's Hall or Central Avenue and Organize for Campaign—No Lack of Enthusiasm The Seventh Ward Bryan and Kern club was organized last night in Scott's hall, 561 Central avenue. There was no lack of enthusiasm, and the new club promises to be a big factor in the campaign. The speakers of the evening were Anthony Schwamm, G. Grouch, Robert Loucks, A. Snell and C. Johnson, president of the Old Hickory Demo crtaic club. The following officers were elected: T. McKinely, president; H. J. Kera ney, vice president; J. Kean, secretary; W. Butler, treasurer. A committee was appointed to arrange for a per manent hall In which meetings wil be held twice a month. Mayor Harper will be invited to ad dress the club on the occasion of its next meeting. LOUCKS QUIZZES TAFT ON RAILROAD MANIPULATION Wants Nominee to Explain Why Gov. eminent Should Protect Holders of Watered Bonds Cover. ing High Rates Robert G. Loucks, who has made a study of the law of public service cor porations, is one of many Democrats In Los Angeles who have been left In doubt by Judge Taffs speech of ac ceptance remarks as they deal with the railroad question. * To settle this doubt Attorney Loucks last night sent to the Republican na tional nominee this letter: "Honorable William H. Taft, Cincin nati, Ohio. Dear Sir: At the time of the cre ation of the interstate commerce com mission Collis P. Huntington slated that the railroads would soon be owned by the government and that the next railroad step was to prepare for It—■ intimating that exorbitant rates by the process of watering stocks and bonds would be maintained to the limit of endurance, thereby compelling the purchase by the government of all railroad systems at the Inflated values, and in the meantime reap rich har vests from exorbitant rates. "The railroads, in most cases, were givpn millions for construction pur poses. Not satisfied with, these gifts millions more were raised by mort gaging the roads, not according to the actual value of the railroad but far beyond and upon the prospective fu ture wealth of the entire country—a method of watering stocks and bonds manipulated by the allied interests for the sole benefit of those in control, at the expense of the dear public who have to pay advanced freight and pas senger rates with each injection of water. "The doctrine is well settled and a fundamental rule, that in fixing rates of quasi-public corporations the rate should be based upon the actual pres ent cash value of the property em ployed in the public service, regard less of watered stocks and bonds. In fact, by constitution and statute, many states declare all such fictitious stocks and bonds null and void. "Now why. how and bj what means something that had and has no value can bo made valuable by mere legis lation? "A common mortgagee is not given this protection either for his mort gage on real or personal property, neither has the government ever at tempted to protect his private deal at the expense of the state or nation; therefore, why does the government insure, guarantee and protect mort gagees and bondholders of railroads, those who not only unlawfully ac quired those inflated bonds, but who still insist on applying the pumps? "On. this point the Hon. Ersklne M. ROM .>f Los Angeles, United States I circuit judge, in San Diego Land and Town company vs. National City, 74 fed. rep. 79, said: Xor can It make any difference that the complainant in the con struction of its plant and the car rying on of its work, borrowed $300,0(10, on which it pays inter est, and for which, It may be, It laBIMd its bond?. The buyer of such bonds, like the loaner of money on a mort gage upon real estate, does so with his eyes open. The loaner of money on a mortgage knows that conditions may be such as to Increase the value of his security, or they may be such as to de crease Its value. He takes the chances that everybody must take who engages in business transac tions. The buyer of bonds Issued by a water company such as the com plainant has the like knowledge, and the further knowledge that the law, which everyone Is presumed to know, prescribes that the r.ites to be charged for the water fur nished by the company shall be established and fixed by a special tribunal, subject, as all state laws are, to the paramount provisions of the constitution of the United Sates. among which is one which secures such investors against the fixing of such rates as will oper ate to deprive him of his property without Just compensation. "Ah a humble citizen Interested in the reduction and fixing of railroad upon the sain" hapis as othar rates and property are fixed, and be lieving' that the law and decisions as they now exist against the fixing of railroad rates on fictitious and inflated stocks nnd bonds are sufficient for the otlon of the public, and If en forced would materially reducs all rail road rates, I sincerely hope you will favor me with a reply as to your full meaning of the subject In your ac ceptance of yesterday. Very truly yours, ROBERT O. LOUCKS." LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, JULY SO, 1008. Dr.lyon's PERFECT Tooth Powder Cleanses, preserves and beautifies the teeth, and Purifies the breath A superior dentifrice for people of refinement Established ia 1866 by # fid. & _ <7f/7r f» <7 \ SADDLES BILLION TAXES ANNUALLY WHY REPUBLICAN POLICY IS COSTLY JOSEPH CALL REVEALS TRUE BASIS OF RATES Nothing Now In Laws to Limit Prices of Transportation Which the Railroads May De mand Joseph H. Call, known in the traffic world as an authority on the law of transportation, declares that the rail way corporations, acting: in concert, wholly regulate the commerce of the United States and fix the rates and conditions under which commerce may move. Discussing the Democratic rates and illtions under which commerce may ye. iscussing the Democratic platform, road regulation and the tariff, Mr. Call yesterday pointed out where the best interests of the people lie. He said: "The Democratic party has always been In favor of government by law instead of government by the absolute orders of men, a mere affirmation of the Democratic form of government as opposed to despotism. . "We have always opposed govern ment by Injunction because such gov ernment emanates from the orders" of individual men and fixes the status of persons after the event instead of by operation of laws before the alleged ofiense has been committed, and we likewise oppose government by cor porations, which is simply another form of personal government as dis tinguished from government by law. bNot for Courts "It should not be left for courts to determine by decrees the right of la borers as against employers, nor the | rights of employers as against labor ers, but those matters should be reg ulated wholly by law, so that the rights of each may be denned and known in advance and so that there will be no excuse for the despotic and arbitrary oaders of courts. "Likewise the regulation of com merce, including the terms, conditions and rates upon which commerce may be moved, should be regulated by law, as provided in the federal constitution, and should not be regulated by a gen eral congress of railroad presidents and traffic men, as has been (ihe practice for many years, but the » congress of railroad president traffic men, as has been (the ice for many years, but the whole matter should be one of legal regulation so that the rights of all may be known in advance. "There is no branch of government or of legislation more important than that of regulating commerce, and to day the railway corporations, acting In concert, wholly regulate the com merce of the United States and fix » concert, wholly regulate the com ■ce of the United States and fix rates and conditions under which commerce may move, ;.-■, <•.;. Violate Sherman Act "The interstate commerce commis sion has for years refused to prose cute railroads for fixing rates in com bination, although the fixing of such rates by competitive lines is in viola tion of the commerce act and also of the Sherman act. "If the United States senate were elected by the people, as demanded by the Democratic platform, neither mem bers of the commerce commission nor the United States attorneys would be agents of the railroads or trusts for the reason that the senate really se lects and appoints these officers. "No one can suggest a reason why there should be a maximum tariff for the importation of goods in the United States which does not apply to a max imum tariff for the transportation of goods within the United States, nor can an objection be made to one which is not applicable to the other. In fact, it is well known and can be verified from a comparison of the railroad tariffs and the government import tar iffs that all of the transcontinental rates within the United States fixed by railroads are wholly based upon the tariff on imports upon the respect ive commodities plus the freight from foreign countries to the United States in foreign bottoms. For Instance: Cheaper Water Freights "1. The water freight from Germany to the United States plus the import duty upon Portland cement is $5 per ton, and the railroad tariff for cement from Chicago and . Missouri river points to Los Angeles and San Fran clsso is now $5 per ton, whereas it was formerly $15 per. ton by rail. • "2. The import tariff duty on steel ingots, nails, structural Iron, boiler plate, etc., is $10 per ton and freight from England is $4 per ton; total, $14 per ton; and the railroad tariff from New York, Chicago, Missouri river and common points to San Francisco or Los Angeles on that class of freight in carload lots is $15 per ton. "3. The tariff on wheat flour is 20 per cent ad valorem, $14 per ton, and water freight from Liverpool $4; total, $18 per ton; and the railroad rate from Chicago, New York-and Missouri river points is $15 per ton on wheat flour and $16 per ton on cereals and cereal products, such as buckwheat, corn, barley, \ meal, etc. "A careful comparison of the rates from the transcontinental tariff and from the government Import duties established by the Dlngley bill will show that the railroad rates east and west and north and. south in the United- States, as to Interstate commerce, are based upon the import tariff upon the respective commodities, plus the water rates from England with this single ex ception—that where the commodity, in England Is sold at a considerably less price than maintained by , a trust in the United States this is taken into consideration by the railroad in fixing the tariff rate and works a reduction of the rate.

V vice and be among the early ones. sufficiently high to force commerce by rail. "That is the reason why we must figure on rates from foreign countries in foreign ships upon the basis of water rates in foreign bottoms as determin ing our rail rates. These rates are very low as compared with our water rates or rail rates. "For Instance, the rates on grain from New York to Liverpool. 3000 miles, are $1 per ton and from Seattle and Pan Francisco to Liverpool, 16,000 miles, the rate per ton is $3.50. "The average railroad rates from New York, Chicago, Missouri river and common points to San Francisco and Los Angeles and other terminal points averages $26 per ton. Want of Vessels "The average rates In foreign bot toms for a distance of 16,000 miles, say from New York around the Horn to Seattle, would be about $3.50 per ton, but for the want of vessels to do a legitimate coastwise trade at indepen dent prices there moves In and out of California from and to the east some thing over 3,000,000 tons of non-perish able freight a year upon which we pay about $26 per ton which ought to move by water for $5.50 per ton. "During the last ten years, or from 1898 to 1908, the railroads have in creased their net incomes from $4F.0, --000,000 to over $1,000,000,000 per year, and the net Income pfer mile of rail road from less than $2500 per mile to about $5000 per mile. "Th? total balance of trade in favor of the United States with foreign coun tries plus "he gross gold production of the United States and territories and Alaska, plus the gross silver product, does not come with $200,000,000 of rep resenting the annual net income of the railroads. Wealth of Railroads "The value of the railroads of the United States, as shown by reports of various commissions. Is not over $30,000 a mile, or a total value of about $7,500, --000,000, representing? about nne-ilx tenths of the total wraith of the United States. "The government census reports since 1870 show that the average In crease of wealth of the people of the United States has been less than $20 per capital per year, while the rail roads, with one-sixteenth of the prop erty, have a net Income of over $12 per capita per year for the entire popula tion, which Is 60 per cent of the average Increase of wealth according to popu lation. "The policy of the Republican party Is to permanently fix the capitalization of the railroads upon the present basis of stocks and bonds, the result of which would permanently fix upon the American people a tax of over a billion dollars a year. Conceal True Basis "The Inquiry has often been made before the interstate commerce com mission and in hearings before courts as to what was the basis for fixing railroad rates, but the railroad traffic men have always concealed the true basis which is here shown, and it has often been wondered why the railroads have habitually opposed a reduction of the tariff upon trust-made goods, but the reason is obvious when it ap pears that the tariff on Imports, plus freight from foreign countries, fixes the transcontinental rates In the United States. "There Is nothing in the laws of the United States limiting the prices which railroads may charge and fix for trans portation, and we may now cease to wonder why, having power to advance rates without limitation, they have not increased the rates beyond $26 per ton for the average haul between Atlantic or lake ports and Pacific ports. Secrets of Classification "The railroads classify their freight rate* arbitrarily by commodities, re gardless of the value of the goods or rlsll, because the United States import tariff classifies the import duties sep arately upon each commodity. "The railroad rate from New York and Chicago to the Pacific coast Is $15 per ton on steel and structural Iron In stead of $40 por ton because the import duty will average $10 per ton and water transportation from Europe will not exceed $5 per ton, or a total of $15 per ton. "The American merchant marine has nearly disappeared from the seas be cause the railways have combined to gether with the American ship lines to force commerce by rail and suppress commerce by water. "The railroads charge $23 per ton for carrying oranges in carload lots from Calif r.-nia to Chicago and the eaat instead of $15, which they charge for Portland cement from Chicago to Pacific terminals, because the tariff on oranges is I cent a pound, or $20 a ton and the water rate and handling are $3 from Europe, making $23 a ton, and-if the import tariff were raised to $25 per ton on oranges the railroad rate would be $2S per ton. or the sum of the import tariff and water freight." PAST EIGHTY; BUT ARDENT FOR BRYAN AZUSA RANCHER, AGED 84, WALKS TO MEETING Silas Judd Honored by Fellow Demo. crats by Election as Vice Presi. dent of Bryan-Kern Club Silas Judd, an orange grower, 84 years old, walked Into Azusa from his ranch, one and a half miles distant, to assist in organizing the Azusa Bryan-Kern club Tuesday night. Mr. Judd was one of the many en thusiastic Democrats on hand to launch the new organization. "I will in November for the fifteenth time vote for a president of the United States," said Mr. Judd yesterday. "It will be the third time I have voted for Mr. Bryan, but never since I cast my first vote for James K.
