ASSESSOR EXPLAINS TAX AMENDMENT;
REALTY BOARD SUBMITS ARGUMENTS
Campaign Committee of State Organization Upholds Measure,
But Official Declares It Unjust Because It Would Place
Corporations in Class with Limited Rate
The Herald this morning in a spirit of fairness to both sides in tho
controversy over the proposed tax amendment No. 1, to be voted on at
the election tomorrow, publishes the views of City Assessor Mallard, who
argues against the amendment, nnd of the campaign committee of the
Associated Realty Board of California, which upholds the measure. City
Assessor Mallard's statement holds that the proposed amendment is unjust
for the reason that it ploces corporations in a class with a limited tax
rate and releases them from taxation when their income stops. The cam
paign committee of the roalty board favors the proposed amendment,
attacks Assessor Mallard's figures and declares that by the new system the
state will receive from the corporations more taxes than they now pay.
The statements of Assessor Mallard and the realty board follow:
City Assessor Mallard's figures on
the proposed tax amendment No 1 are,
in part, as follows:
The direct tax levy on the people
of this state is about seven and a
quarter millions xtt dollars. Prof.
Carl C. Plehn, to prove that the
corporations will pay enough money
into the state treasury to counter
balance this seven and a quarter
millions, makes this statement:
"On the contrary, the amendment
will increase the taxes of the cor
poration affected by three and one
half million dollarlV'
In other words, his claim Is that
this proposed law will double the
taxes on these corporations.
Following is a fair example of
what effect tax amendment No. 1
will have on corporations:
FIGURES 1"KOM COKI-ORATIONS
For the Information of the public,
I have carefully compiled the fol
lowing figures. In making up this
statement I have taken the official
tax roll to show exactly how much
taxes these seven corporations will
pay this year. 1 have taken 'their
sworn statements as to their gross
incomes, and calculated at the rates
provided for in this proposed .sec
tion, and deducted the interest and
sinking fund. The result shows
that these seven corporations will
pay this year tajccs amounting to
$1,197,056.08, and that if senate
constitutional amendment Xo. 1
was in force at the present time
they would pay to the state $44«,
--692.46. In other words, the state
would receive from them $750,
--360.63 less than they are now paying
by the ad valorem system. How
ever, this statement of the propo
nents of this bill that they will raise
the taxes of the corporations of this
state is as unfounded as all the
other statements they have been
making to the people.

corporations
would pay to

In addition to the $446,892.45 these
seven corporations would pay into
. the interest and sinking fund ac
counts of the >ocal governments
$234,000, making a total tax which
they would have to pay of |680,
--fiM.45. This, deducted from the
'$1,197,036.08, which they will pay this
year, would give $r,16.3G3.63 net
profit in one year to these seven
corporations.
This proposition which is being
offered to the public to vote on
next Tuesday, la unjust for the
reason that it places the corpora
tions in a class with a limited tax
rate, and releases them from taxa
tion when their income stops. For
instance, if the corporations were
tied up with strikes, the general
taxpayer, who would have an un
limited tax rate, would be com
pelled to pay the taxes to maintain
the local city and county govern
ment, pay for police protection for
the corporations and then pay to
the state the taxes which the cor
porations did not pay.

The campaign committee of the i
Associated Realty board of California j
replies to Assessor Mallard in i art as i
follows:
It had been confidently expected
that City Assessor Mallard's prom
ised analysis of the proposed tax
ation amendment would be as frank
and as fairly stated as have been
the facts and figures propounded by
the taxation commission, of which
Professor Carl C. Plehn of the
chair of economics of the Universi
ty is the expert secretary.
That Mr. Mallard has not kept
the faith is profoundly disappoint
ing. His "summary" in the Ex
press of Friday evening, Nov. 4,
is wholly misleading and bo far
from the truth that his perversion
of the facts gives rise to grave
suspicion that the city assessor is
willfully attempting to deceive the
taxpayers of this city and couniy.
That this is not surmise, but is
founded on Indisputable evidence,
let any unprejudiced person de
cide after reading the incontrover
tible testimony, based on sworn
statements on file, which are here
offered in refutation of Mr. Mal
lard's deceptive figures:
ARGUMENT BASED OX INQUIRY
No "wild statements" have been
disseminated as he alleges, in sup
port of Constitutional Amendment
No. 1. All the arguments and the
statistics in proof are the result
of the most careful and searching
inquiry, avoiding all guesswork.
The high standing of Professor
Plehn as a tax expert is, in itself,
enough to controvert Mr. Mallard's
unworthy inuendo in this regard.
To the contrary, the only "wild
statements" noted are those he
himself has made and in evidence
ot this let the 'tided parallel
table speak. Mr. Mallard 'lenie's
that the proposed amendment will
raise the taxes of corporations,
and, in alleged substantiation, ha
states that under the new "gross
earning" system the leading local
public utility companies would
pay to the state as follws:
State tax.
l«ns Anpreles Railway $112,765.04
Home Telephone Co 14,660.31
Pacific Tel. & Tel. Co 12,153.01

COMPANIES' GROSS RECEIPTS
What are the facts? From
sworn statements of several corpo
rations it Is shown that the goss
"receipts"that Is, every do lar
these companies receive, from any
source whatever, must pay its pro
portion of the tax to the state—
for the fiscal year, in city and
county, in round figures, was as
follows:
State tax.
L. A. Railway, J4,600.000®4pct $180,000

Total $734,175
Mallard's figure! 446,(i52
Actual difference ignored $287,483
What is one to argue for the re
mainder of Mr. Mallard's equally
disingenuous "analysis?" Having
Juggled the figures in these in
stanc i it is fair to presume that
the city assessor has been quite
as "careless" In other directions.
That he has been remarkably in
different to the facts is demon
strated by his preposterous state
ment that the new system, had it
been in force, would have resulted
in 1908, when the rate was 40 cents,
in a deficiency of revenue equal
to ten per cent of the state needs,
which in Los Angeles county would
amount to $531,400 on its $531,400550
of assessed valuation. Mr. Mal
lard asserts that when the propon
ents of the measure were "cor
nered" regarding this they admit
ted that the general tax'ayrs
would have to make up the differ- v
ence to meet the state's current
expenses. The proponents of the
measure never admitted there
would be any .such deficiency. This
is another of Mr. Mallard's "straw
men." I
This is best answered by review-
Ing the gross income of the corpo
rations. Based on their t ital re
ceipts in 1909, the taxes they would
have paid into the state treasury
would have yielded a surplus of
about half a million dollars.
Instruction to Voters
How to Vote a Split Ticket :
If you desire to vote for any or all of the candidates indorsed
by the Good Government organization, or for any other candi
dates wttose names are found in the column headed "Independent
Nominal ion-," the only safe course is to stamp a cross (X) oppo
site the name of each candidate of your choice FOR EACH OF
FICE ON Till-. BALLOT.
It is not safe to stamp a cross l'N ANY PARTY CIRCLE if
you wish to vote for candidates whose names are found in the "in
dependent" column. It is better to be safe than to be sorry.
How to Vote for Judges:
There are three judges of the superior court to be elected for
the full term, one judge of the superior court to be elected for the
unexpired term, ami <>iv- judj,re of the district court of appeal for
the unexpired term. If you do not wish to vote your party ticket
straight stamp the cross (X) opposite the names of three candi
dates for 'he superior court, full term, and one candidate for the
superior court, unexpired term, and one candidate for tljp district
court of appeal, unexpired term.
The law has many complications. Your will can be best regis
tered and the counting of your ballot best assured if you use the
STA.MI' OPPOSITE THE NAME OF EVERY CANDIDATE
WHOM YOU DESIRE TO SEE ELECTED, totally disregard
ing the party circle.
GOOD GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION,
i ieorge B. Anderson,
Secretary.
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 7, 1910.
Chairman Russ Avery One of Many Republicans
Who Urged Woolwine to Become Can
didate for District Attorney
Another evidence of the fact that Thomas Lee Woolwine, the Good Government nominee
for district attorney, is the choice of no faction but is supported generally by all advocates of
decent government and honest administration of the people's affairs, is found in the letter from
scores of prominent citizens of all parties which was presented to Mr. Woolwine before the
primaries as a request that he become a candidate for district attorney. Among the signers
of that letter are Russ Avery, chairman of the Republican county central committee, several
other members of that committee and many men, who, laying aside party lines and prejudices,
demanded that Mr. Woolwine enter the race. Following is the letter urging Mr. Woolwine to
become a candidate and a list of those who signed the request
To Thomas Lee Woolwine, Esq.: • »
We, the undersigned citizens of Los Angeles county, earnestly urge that you become a can
didate for the office of district attorney at the coming election.
We are convinced that the present crisis in public affairs demands in this official a high
degree of courage and ability, coupled with an absolute devotion to the public interests, and
that in his selection party politics should be wholly disregarded.
Your fearless exposure of official wrong-doing, your determined and unwavering battle
against the powerful and corrupt influences controlling many public officials, demonstrate your
fitness for this most important office. . ;*S
We therefore cast party considerations aside and join in this request.

Votes
(Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.—With
both sides claiming victory, the Demo
crats and Republicans rested today.
Theodore A. Bell, Democratic stand
ard bearer, issued a statement today
in which he said he would win from
Hiram W. Johnson, his Republican
opponent, by 20.000 votes, and that the
ticket behind him would capture a
sweeping victory.
Hiram Johnson iind the managers or
his campaign were in a particularly
optimistic mood, giving it as their
best judgment that the state would
go Republican by at least 30,000 votes.
The Democrats laitn a solid party
front, with the added strength of large
defections from the Republican "regu-
Johnson continues favorite In the
betting, although the wagering at 2
to 1 against Bell was eased to 10 to 6
today. Betting at even money that
Bell carries San Francisco finds little
P Johnson passed the day quietly at his
home. He will address a meeting to
morrow night in San Francisco as the
closing feature of his campaign.
Bell's Sunday was passed with his
nged parents on their farm at St.
Helena. He will cfbse the fight at
Napa tomorrow.

FIRST AMERICAN BRAND
OPERA WILL BE STAGED
Joe Redding's Libretto of Santa
Barbara Plot Meets Suc
cess in the East
Announcement has been received in
this city that the Redding-Herbert
grand opera, "Natoma," the scene of
which is laid in Santa Barbara, and
some of the characters in which are
members of noted Southern California
families, ia to be given its first pro
duction in Philadelphia February 6
by the Dippel opera company. Joseph
Redding, author of the libretto, is well
Iknown socially in this city, having
been a frequent guest at clubs here.
He Is a member of the Bohemian club
of San Francisco and was noted as a
bon vivant in that city. Recently he
moved to Chicago.
"Natoma" was originally to have
been produced last January by Hara
merstein, but this was interfered with
by the grand opera manager with
drawing from his old field of endeavor.
It is claimed for "Natoma" that it
is the first real American grand opera
written. It is a tragedy. The first
act is on the Island of Santa Barbara,
the second the mission plaza, and the
closing act the interior of the Santa
Barbara mission. The libretto is by
Joseph Redding, and Victor Herbert
has composed the music. The scenery,
as well as costumes, were all designed
by Alexander Harmer, the Santa Bar
bara artist. Mr. Harmer is undoubt
edly the best qualified artist for this
work, as for twenty yeare he has de
voted himself almost entirely to old
Spanish and mission day subjects. As
the time of the opera is 1830, the pos
sibilities for picturesque effects and
settings are apparent.

ROOSEVELT ROME
TO END CAMPAIGN
Col. Will Make Seven Speeches
as Windup to the New
York Fight
(Associated Press)
OYSTER BAY, N. V., Nov. 6.—After
a week of traveling, in which he cov
ered more than 3000 miles and made
speeches in New York. Maryland, Ohio,
Indiana and lowa, Theodore Roose
velt returned to Oyster Bay today for
a brief rest before plunging into poli
tics again.
Beginnig early tomorrow lie will
make seven open air speeches of ten I
minutes each—five of them before 10
o'clock, then visit his office for a con
ference and luncheon, and dash out
again for two speeches in the after
,noon.
Mr. Stimson, candidate for governor,
whom Roosevelt is supporting, will
speak twice tomorrow. In the evening
both Roosevelt and Stimson will be
guests of the Hungarian Republican i
club on the east side, where both will
speak.
The colonel reached New York from
Cleveland this morning, and after vis
iting a physician to have his throat
treated came to Oyster Bay by auto- :
mobile.
When the colonel finishes his speech I
tomorrow night he will have finished
one of the hardest fights of his polit
ical career.
It was a fight into which he has said (
from the first he was drawn unwil
lingly, and which he took up, he main
tains, only because he believed cir
cumstances had made it necessary for
him first to "lick the bosses" in his
own party and then to take up the
fight for the ticket which he had
helped to select.
In all his speeches Col. Roosevelt
asserted the main issue before the peo
ple of New York was whether they
would accept a corrupt alliance be
tween Tammany and Wall street.
Charges that he was seeking to make
himself dictator he characterized as
"twaddle."
Nevertheless, the attacks made upon
him by John A. Dix, the Democratic
candidate for governor, and by Former
Judge Alton B. Parker, wlio once ran
against him for president, grew so
severe that he retorted In kind.
Now the fight is nearly over. It is
generally admitted that its result will
go beyond the confines of the. state
and reach as far ahead as 1912, but
what the result will be is a matter in
which the colonel professes to take
only an impersonal interest.
ROOSEVELT MAKES FINAL
APPEAL TO N. Y. VOTERS
Colonel Joins Stimson in State
ment About Election
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—Theodore
Roosevelt joined the Republican can

"As a citizen of this state, jealous
of its honor and its good name and
earnestly solicitous of the welfare .of
all its peopie, I wish to make a final
appeal to all my fellow citizens to
stand for Henry L. otlmson in this
fight which he is waging so gillantly
for clean and honest politics, and for
genuine popular rule.
"I regard this as far more than a
mere party contest. I appeal not only
to Republicans, for I feel that in this
contest we have the right to appeal
just as strongly to all upright andi
far-sighted men, Democrats and In
dependents, no less than Republ'crms.
"The election next Tuesday turns on
vital moral questions affecting the
whole future of this state and of our
people, and therefore it is our right
and our duty to appeal to tin: whole
body of honest citizens irrespective of
party ties. Tho powerful and crooked!
political organization against which
we are pitted Is now working hand In

tereiti of crooked finance, the breath
of whose nostrils is special privil
