AUTOISTS TO GIVE
$1 EACH TO WIDOW
rloward Huntington Suggests
That Owners of Cars Save
Home of Mrs. Vidal
BRALY THINKS ALL WILL HELP
Two Daughters of Widow Earn
$12 a Week-Family Has
No Other Income
Howard Huntington suggested yes
terday contributions of a dollar each
from enough automobillsts in Los An
geles to pay off the lien against the
home of Mrs. Dolores Vidal, a widow.
•who lives at 626 Mission road and
■whose only income is j rovlded by two
daughters who v.ork for small wagei.
He contributed his dollar as the owner
Of a car. Other eutomobilifrts said:
Joseph F. Radforrl—A dollar from the
owners of automobiles would hardly be
felt by nny of them and would cer
tainly not be too much for us to givo
to save the home of a widow nnd her
children. I trust every man who owns
a c.ir will contribute. .
Roland Bishoi Surely the autoists
of Los Angeles ought to help Mrs Vl
dal The men of the city should take
care of the poor when they can, nnd a«
the automobilista will reap large ben
efits from any street improvements it
peems but lair that they should help
in this case.
E. S. Rowley—Of course I think tlie
autoists of the city ought to want to
help Mrs. Vldal. It seems a little
thing to us and if it means her home I
am sure all the men in town will feel
the same way.
TV X Dunn—Tt will be a *rlennVl
thing for the autoists to volunteer aid
for Mrs. Vidal. It is a pitiful case
end surely we, who will get so much
Rood from the new rond, can well af
ford to help the helpl^s-. I certainly
hope that every tiutolst in Los Angeles
■will come through. «
CAN AFFORD TO IIF-I-P
J. H. Braly— Every one who has a
little extra money that he is not al
ready spending on charity ought to
help a case like this. But it seems
rather a nice idea to me to have the
nutomobile men especially volunteer,
'■••because street improvements mean so
much to them, even if it isn't a regular
automobile thoroughfare. And I be
lieve -we men ■who own machines can
pretty generally afford to help.
Unwhitewashed and here is the three
roomed house occupied by Mrs. Vidal.
3t is attractive in its ;.crupulous clean
liness and pathetic in its lack of ne
cessities. The wornout window cur
tains in the "parlor" shade the room
from the sun all day long purely from
nn inability to be raised or lowered.
The bare floors attest by their spot
lessness that Mrs. Vidal is a tireless
worker in her home, though she is well
along in her sixties and frail.
The only wage earners of this nome
—the only supporters of this aged
woman—are her two daughters, Lena
and Theresa. They contribute $6 a
week apiece and on this sum the
women live and maintain their home.
On July last the lien on the property
was Bold because out of these wages
they had failed to save more than $400
With which to meet assessments for
street work. Paralyzed with fear at
the thought of losing her home, Mrs.
Vidal knew of no way to earn the re
quired sum. Finally, when it had
crown to over $500, she appealel to the
mayor for help. Since the public ap.
peal In her behalf she personally has
received $3.

KNOX PLEADS FOR
G.O.P. IN OHIO
Secretary Fears Democratic Suc
cess in Taft's State a
Blow to Whole Party
(Associated Prts.«)
COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. B.—Declaring
the issue in Ohio is President Taft and
his administration, and affirming that
recent progressive agitation has done
more to confirm the Republican party
as "a party of constructive progress
than any body of substantiative law
since Lincoln's death," Secretary of
State Knox appealed to the Republi
cans of Ohio tonight to indorse the
achievements of their native sou at the
polls next Tuesday,
"However much you may be assured
that the great issues In this campaign
are local," said Secretary Knox, "it is
not so. They are national. However
much the Democratic party may desire
victory in other states, it is nothing
compared with their frantic hopes to
defeat the Republican ticket in Ohio
and thus arm themselves for 1912 with
the cry that Ohio has condemned the
Taft administration, has repudiated
her own son.
"However the case may be elsewhere,
the line of cleavage is the president,
his policies and his success, and intelli
gent and honest purpose In working
thorn out."
In discussing the Payne tariff law
Secretary Knox said:
"When the new basis of our tariff
legislation was established there were
not wanting friendly Jeremiahs of the
opposition who began their lamenta
tions. They were oppressed by the
fear that tariff wars would be the re
sult and they made distressing proph
esies of the calamities that were sure
to follow.
"Notwithstanding these distressful
prophecies there have been no tariff
wars under the Payne-Aldrich law, nor
will there be any. American goods
have not been shut out from foreign
countries. On tlu contrary, wider
markets have been obtained.
"Nor have there been advanced du
ties for consumers in the United Btatea,
due to the Imposition of the maximum
tariff, as it was predicted there would
be. Instead the fade currents have
flowed smoothly. Under the lower du
ties and the enlarged free list provided
by the Payne-Aldvlch bill our imports
have continued to grow and no burden
has been placed upon the consumer."

CLAIMS VICTORY
Taft Makes Public Letter of Rep
resentative William B.
McKinley
TAKES RUDDY VIEW OF FIGHT
Fredicts All Signs Point to Con
trol of 62d Congress by
Republicans
(Associated Frrss)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—President
Taft today mado public n letter from ;
"William B. McKinley, chairman of the.
Republican congressional committee, in
which lie takes a roseate view of tho
Republican chances at the next Tues
day's election!.
The publication of this letter, it is
officially announced, will he the last
act of the president in the campaign.
"It gives me groat pleasure to In- t
form you that every sign points to Re- I
publican control of the house of repre
sentatives in the sixty-second con
gress." wrote Mr. McKinley from Chi
coga. October 28.
"This Information is based upon what
T believe to be reliable reports from'
practically every one of the so-called
■doubtful' districts. We hnve made and
are making substantial gains in dis
tricts Which were lost in the election
two years ago by a narrow margin.
"Three months ago pessimistic Re
publieaiiF nnd optimistic Democrats ex
pressed the belief that this was a Dem
ocratlc year. Their preditcion was not
shared by yourself or others charged
with the responsibility for carrying!
forward tho Republican campaign. I j
am pleased to advi3e that there has l
been a decided change in sentiment
in the last few weeks.
LAID* ADMINISTRATION
"Democratic hopes are fading and
Republicans generally are now enthu
siastic In their belief that, while this
may have been a Democratic year in
July, it is a Republican year In No
vember.
"In your letter to me of August 20,
1910, you state that the question was
not what complexion of Republicanism
one prefers, but whether it is better
for the country to have the Republican
party control the legislation for the
next two years and further redeem its
promises, or to enable a Democratic
majority in the house either to inter
pose a veto to Republican measures
or to formulate and pass bills to carry
out Democratic principles.
"Tour clear and just analysis of Re
publican principles and your brief out
line of the great work to which your
administration is committed was adopt
ed by the Republican congressional
committee as the slogan of this cam
paign. The differences in the party
which were manifested during the two
sessions of the present congress have
been composed on the basis of your
letter and a militant and united party
is approaching- the biennial election
with confidence rf deserved victory.
"As you well predicted, the party as
a whole is showing itself practical and
patriotic in subordinating Individual
opinion In order to secure real pro
gress.
"I' take this opportunity to thank
you for your valuable co-operation with
the committee in this campaign. We
ha\e made a clean, straightforward
fight for the great principles of the Re
publican party and I am looking with
the greatest possible confidence to the
result."

MAY DRAW COLOR LINE
IN NEW MEXICO SCHOOLS
Constitutional Conference Leans
Toward Segregation
SANTA FE, N. M., Nov. 2.—That
the people of any school district in
New Mexico may establish separate
schools for negroes by a vote of two
thirds of tho legal voters of such dis
trict was decided this afternoon by a
conference of the Republican members
of the constitutional conference.
Segregation of negroes and whites
in public schools has been one of the
big questions before tho delegates. It
is believed, however, that the finding
of the committee will be adopted by a
vote of at least 75 to 26.
Many of the delegates in the conven
tion, both Republicans and Democrats,
arc from southern states. These mem
bers, it is understood, will stand as a
unit for segregation.
A thirty-minute session of the con
vention was held today, the principal
business being the presentation of
numerous petitions for state-wide pro
hibition.
PLEHN CHAMPIONS
AMENDMENT NO. I
Professor of Economics, Univer
sity of California- De
fends Measure
Carl C. Plehn, the state's expert on
revenue and taxation, professor of eco
| nomics at the University of California,
! and in a large measure the author of
i constitutional amendment No. 1, which
will come before the voters next Tues
day, yesterday afternoon at the Hotel
Alexandria dictated a detailed reply to
the resolutions framed by City Assess
or Milliard, and adopted by the coun
! oil. in opposition to the measure.
Prof. Plehn declared that Mr. Mal
lard was wrong in saying the city
would lose a million dollars by the rati
fication of the amendment. Ho con
tends that the city would save approx
imately $270,000, and that the owners
of small homes would find their taxes
reduced 15 cents on the dollar. He
said:
"The council seems to have been
misled by Mr. Mallard's statement, and
Mr. Mallurd seems to be unduly fright
ened at the supposed effect of senate
amendment No. 1 upon taxpayers of
Los Angeles county. The facts are that
instead of losing a million dollars, the
taxpayers In Los Angeles city will save
$270,000, and thus in the county at
largo approximately $-120,000. Mr. Mal
lard has presumably failed to take into
consideration that in return for the
taxes to be levied upon the corpora
tions and their exemption from local
taxation the state will remove the en
the burden of state taxation now im
posed upon the property in general.

"The exact figures for taxpayers in
side Los Angeles city are given below,
and have ben taken directly from the
city assessment roll and the county
assessment roll for the year 1909.

Net saving to taxpayers In los

Raised 40 per cent by state board of equal
ization.
Continuing, Prof. Plehn said:
"It will yield the state an income of
eight and a half million dollars, which
is more than the state has been spend
ing on the average from the taxes j
which these new revenues will replace.
"The .'iniendment will increase th*
taxes of various classes of corporations
affected by three and a half million
dollars. The increase would be larger
but for the fact that the state board
of equalisation anticipated the amend
ment, and already imposes taxes upon
the railroads at a rate practically
equal to that imposed by the amend
ment; but the telegraph companies,
which now pay hardly anything, the
express companies, the telephone com
panies, the great light, heat and power
companies, the banks and the insur
l ance companies will all pay a very con
-1 fciderabk' amount more.
•■lf State taxation Is removed the
•us fur keeping the valuations
down will he removed, and It will be
! quite simple and proper in every way
to raise tli«> valuations even to a basis
of dollar for dollar. In that case the
valuation of property in Los Angeles
I city can easily be doubled and ample
lundH ran be obtained under a dollar
tax limit.
"There Ik no reason why the working
man should pay 1 per cent, as he does
iniw, upon his home, and all his in
vestmenta and upon his savings in the
savings banks, while the national
banks, the express companies, the tel
egraph and telephone companies, the
i car companies and other great public
service corporations are "ot paying at
the same rate. The amendment does
in.t make invidious class distinctions,
but destroys them."

KAISER WRITING BIOGRAPHY
OF FREDERICK THE GREAT
BERLIN, Nov. 2.—lt Is stated that
a considerable part of the biography
of Frederick the Great, which the
kaispr is reported to be writing, al
naily is completed.
The kaiser is credited with treating
his subject with strict impartiality.
notwithstanding his enthusiastic ad
miration for his ancestor. One evi
dence of this is his whole hearted con
demnation of Frederick's infidelity and
his enthusiasm for Voltaire.
His majesty ia said to contemplate
a series of visits to all of Frederick's
battlefields before completing the work.
