12 THE NEW PRIMARY LAW Complications Which Must Cer tainly Arise if It Is Upheld. IT IS MARTIN KELLY'S WORK. The Dilemma of the Election Commis sion in Regard to the Primary Elections. At the suggestion of the City and County Attorney the Election Commissioners have secured* the signatures of all their em ployes to a pledge that they will not hold them personally responsible for their sal aries, i The Election Commissioners want to be on the safe side of the legal controversy being agitated at this time in regard to the powers and emoluments of their office, and their action in this instance plainly indicates the attitude they will take in re spect to the recently passed primary law. The Supreme Court was called upon la_3t Friday to issue a writ of mandate com pelling Auditor William Broderick to sign the salary warrant of James Denman, and on the result is dependent the disen tangling of one of the greatest political snarls with wnich the people of this State have yet had to deal. The court has ninety days in which to render its decision, but this will carry the issue cleat beyond the month of January, in which the new primary law lays down that the Election Commission must select thirty men who are on the assessment-roll in each of the precincts of the city and county, from which five officers of election must be selected to officiate as such at the primary without pay. less tie decision of the Supreme Court decides the new law constitutional before January 31, 1,896, the Election Com mission will not be in a position to go ahead with its work without going down into its own pocket to defray the expenses of clerical hire to select the desired 9000 available men. Judging from the stand made by Mr. Denman in his suit for sal ary, it.is not likely that he or his confreres will adopt the latter course. Should the decision of the court be in favor of Mr. Denman, it would carry with it the unconstitutionality of the primary law, which, in the judgment of the lead ing attorneys of this State must follow the result of the case at issue. Already District Attorney Ryan, of Sac ramento County has advised the Board of Supervisors of Sacramento not to act un der the primary law, as it is unconstitu tional. )t The Election Commissioners here have asked the Board of Supervisors for an ap propriation of $32,000 for the primaries, and that sum is included in the last tax levy. If the law is declared unconstitu tional after January, and the primaries are held, there wili be a clear loss of the money, which, on the basis of past prima ries, will. not be $32,000, but nearer $100,000. It is apparent from the expressions of the leading legal lights that the passage of the law by the' last Legislature was under a misapprehension. The old law provided that the counties of the State be divided into three classes. All those of over 20,000 inhabitants were first c'ass; all over 8000 and under 20,000, second class; and all below 8000, third class. Now, the general primary law refers only to first and second class counties. It is evident that the Legislature thought that the general primary law applied only to San Francisco and Los Angeies counties, which are the first and second class coun ties under the county government bill. But the lawyers now say that the county government" classification is not broad enough to take in elections. It is merely "for the purpose of regulating the com pensation of the officers of the several counties of the State therein classified." Consequently all the counties of the State which are not j roviding for primary elections by drawing the names of thirty electors from each election precinct during the month of January, to be used as a basis from which the officers of the pri mary election can be selected, are making it absolutely impossible for the political parties to hold conventions whose candi dates will be entitled to. places on the printed ballots. This is the status of course unless thai; the primary law is declared unconstitutional. Should political parties hold conven tions as the} have in the past the candi dates will be worse off than those running independently, because, in addition to their regular nomination, they will have to get out a private list in the same way as the independent candidates, who are prohibited by the general primary law from having a place on the ticket. This prohibition is stated in section 21 of the general primary law, which provides that no candidate can have his name printed on any ballot to be voted for as a candi date for public office at any general elec tion in this State unless he snail have been nominated by a convention com posed of delegates chosen as provided by that act. The convention must file its certificate of nomination of candidates with the County Clerk not less than thirty days be for the day of election. Where there is an independent candidate who gets out his separate petition he can file his petition not less than twenty days prior to the day of election. This gives the independent candidate ten days more leeway than the regular nominee. One of the strongest points, then, in favor of the independent is that he can file his petition on the last day and then get out an injunction, relying on section 21 of the primary law, and prevent the County Clerk from printing the name of the con vention candidate on the official ballot. But this is but one of the many compli cations which will be brought about unless the new law is declared unconstitutional. See, for instance, what it will do in Shasta County, where heretofore never has there been a primary held. The county's voting population is mainly at Redding, and the candidates were nominated there by the County Committee without any unneces sary expenditure of money. Now each little precinct spread ail over the county will have to be saddled with a separate pri mary, This is impracticable, just as it is in many ofjthe precincts of this City, where it is positively out of the question to gather thirty men who are on the assess ment-roll. Martin Kelly is the one who caused the new law to be drawn up, and should the Supreme Court uphold it he will have the political machine more firmly in his grasp than ever before. In the "event of his caring to join forces with Sam Rainey the pair will virtually be in control of the con ventions of the two leading parties. • Take as an instance that Kelly is known to own the Twenty-eighth District. There will therefore be no struggle there and he will be free to take his lambs into any other district in the town where there is a conflict. The law requires that there be a ballot-box in each precinct for each po litical party. That means about three. On account "of that number and the com plexity of the law the professional ward heeler will have no difficulty at all in con centrating in any precinct of any district in which the better class of citizens show any interest. The law also requires that the Election Commission designate the color of the ballots for each party. This opens up an ea?y method of buying votes, with a rea onable certaii.ty that the man bought ill deliver the goods. It is ;" the same principle over again of tbe old "tape worm" ticket. In that case the bosses did what they will be able to do again— tell by the size or the color that the voter deposits the ballot furnished him. MR. FLOURNOY'S OPINION. Disputes the Assertion of Spelling as to the Sights of People's Bauk Directors. The board of directors of the People's Home Savings Bank, in order to refute the statements recently made by T. Carl Spel ling, referred the matter to the bank's at torney and has received a litter of advice of which the following is a copy : December 19, 1895. Board of Directors of the People's Home Savings Rank— Gentlemen: I advise you as follows upon the matters stated in the communication or T. <'. Spelling concerning the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company. I— That the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company by its articles of incorporation and under the laws of California, has the right to transact such banking business as it is now doing with the People's Home Savings Bank. -That the California Sate Deposit and Trust Company is authorized by law to do just such business as it has undertaken for such de positors of the People's Home Savings Bank as have assigned their claims to it for collection. That the People's Home Savings Hank can without the least danger pay dividends to the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company as assignee of the depositors of the People's Home Savings Bank. 4— That after a careful examination of the incorporation and present condition of the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company. I am unable to find anything to warrant the conclusion, or even a suspicion, that any rights of any one connected with or interested in the People's Home Savings Bank are in any way jeopardized by the relations now existing between the People's Home Savings Bank and the California Safe Deposit and Trust Com pany. Yours very truly, John Flournoy, Attorney for People's Home Savings Bank. LETTERS FOR PRISONERS Women's State Federation Will Send 700 Christmas Missives. A Number of Important Committees Were Appointed at Yester day's Meeting. The rainy afternoon and the Christmas bargain counter were factors yesterday in ! effecting a small attendance of ladies at the regular weekly meeting of the Women's State Federation. A quorum was not obtained until quite : late in the afternoon, so an informal meet ing was called, during which the needs ! and shortcomings of the association were discussed. Some dissatisfaction has arisen among the associate members over their inability to take an active participation in the ques tions of the society by vote. It was explained that allowing an asso ciate member to vote would give to that member an equal power of decision to twenty-five and a fraction of the members of contingent organizations represented by the delegate members. The associate members consider the pay ment of their yearly dollar dues entitles them to a louder voice in the proceedings. As it is they have the privilege of discuss ing questions at issue, but are deprived of the right to vote for officers. As each delegate member represents, twenty-five and a major fraction of members of her particular society, four associate members -would equal, if the franchise were theirs, seventy-live or seventy-six represented members. It was resolved to prepare a circular fully explaining this feature of organiza tion, and the following committees were formed for future work: Prison, education, divorce, police,^public in stitutions, free baths and sanitary matters, I legislative, bill posters, sweating system and child labor, press, dives and other low resorts. Volunteers were called for to act on the several committees formed and were re sponded to as follows: Police court— S. M. X. Cummings, Mrs. L. J. dough; visiting institutions— Mrs. Flor ence Percy Matheson, Mrs. F. E. Fairbanks. Miss Wheeler. Mrs. F. F. Victor; sweating sys tem and child labor— Miss Wheeler; dives and other low resorts— Mrs. Matheson; press— Mrs. Fairbanks and Mrs. Matheson. President Mrs. Rose M. French stated I that she had been given by a representa ! tive of the England Pri-oners' Christmas letter Association 700 letters, to be dis tributed among the prisoners on Christmas I day. This organization sent out last year j over 4.000,000 letters, to be forwarded to ' prisoners all over the world. For the past i several years Chief Crowley has turned i the ietters over to Mrs. French for dis j tribution. A committee to take charge of sending i the letters was appointed, consisting of Mrs. M. Ida Benson, Mrs. J. M. Peoples, Mrs. V. S. Baker. The letters are written by ladies of the British colonies. The meeting was adjourned until the first Monday in January. Petition for Insolvency* Creditors of Rudolph Uagen have asked the Superior Court to adjudge him Insolvent on the ground that he has conveyed his business and effects to unknown persons. Mr. Hagen is proprietor of the New Louvre on O'Farrell street. The creditor-petitioners with the re spective amounts claimed are: Electrical Con struction Company, $80 75; Mark Strouse, $530 23; Charles Reiru, $01; Bass-Hueter Paint Company, $32, and Paul Seiler, $12 15.

HOW JAPAN THREATENS Facts on Her Competition to Be Collected for Congress at Once. REQUEST FROM WASHINGTON. Raw Materials, Freight Rates, Cli mate, Soil and Products to Be Reported On. A joint committee from the Chamber of Commerce and the Manufacturers' and Producers' Association met in the Mer chants' Exchange building yesterday after noon to discuss the threatened invasion of Japanese goods manufactured by cheap labor, and generally to take steps toward the collection of data showing what partic ular interests are in danger and to what extent they are threatened. - The Chamber of Commerce was repre sented by Hugh Craig of the New Zealand Insurance Company and Wakefield Baker of Baker & Hamilton; the Manufacturers' and Producers' Association by Julian Sonntag of the Giant Powder Company, and Andrea Sbarboro represented the grocers and liquor-dealers. F. H. Dingle, assistant secretary of the Manufacturers' and Producers' Association, was also present. Sub-committees were appointed to make investigations in response to the following communication from one of California's representatives in Congress. House of Representatives, U. P., \ Washington, D. ('., Dec. 10, 1895. IF. 11. Dimond, President Chamber of com merce of 8. F., San Francisco, Cal.— -Dear Sir: lv recent conversations with mem Der of Con gress 1 endeavored to call their attention to the unfair competition of Japanese manu facturers with American manufacturers. I could speak only from memory as to the prices at which the Japanese were laying down goods in San Francisco. 1 could say enough to make them realize the inevitable ruin that would come to American manufacturers unless some thing were speedily done to protect them a&alnst the cneap and under-paid labor of Japan. I v ill be pleased if your organization would send me seme data that I could use be fore committees and in Congress in defense of laws which would protect our country against this alarming invasion of America by foreign products. Ye had, as you know, great diffi culty in convincing the Eastern people of the danger of Chinese invasion because we did not commence promptly. I wish to sound the alarm at theontsetof this Japanese Invasion in the hope that the people of tha East may see that it threatens their interests as well as those of California, and stop it at the outset. The sooner you can give me these facts tho better it will be for us all. 1 address your organization because you represent merchants and manufacturers of San Francisco, and they represent the Pacific Coast. Awaiting your reply, I am very truly yours, Grove L.Johnson. The committees were instructed to work to the common purpose of obtaining exact information on Japan's production and facilities for manufacturing and exporting the following lines of goods: Textiles in cluding cotton and other fabrics, rope and jute, metals and the products of iron and steel, buttons, matches, watches, bicycles. All the raw materials used by Japan, where they are obtained and at what fig ures and how much of them are native to the country will be investigated by Wake field Baker, the local dealer in iron and steel and wooden manufactures, by J. Currier, president of the Carlson-Currier Silk Company, with works at Petaluma, and by John Rutherford of the California Cotton-mills at Oakland. This committee will ascertain what Japan's present facili ties are for manufacturing any and all products that would compete either in this country oi in some other market with goods manufactured in America. Freight rates on Japanese manufactured articles exported to markets usually sup plied by American manufacturers will be inquired into by Julian Sonntag, by W. G. Curtis of the Traffic Association and by E. L. Fitzgerald of he Labor Commission. The soil, the climate, the temperature and the agricultural and mineral possi bilities of Japan will be reported on by Andrea Sbarboro, J. P. Currier and John Rutherford. These committees will be ready to report January 6, when another meeting of the joint committee will be held to lesten to and act upon the array of facts that is ex pected to be presented by them. After the meeting the following tele gram was sent to Washington by the chair man of the joint committee: San Francisco^ Cab, Dec. 23, 1895. Grove L. Johnson, Washington, D. C: Confer ence committee Manufacturers' Association and Chamber of Commerce organized and appointed investigation committees to-day. Will send detail information earliest possible day. Hugh Craig, Chairman.. Julian Sonntag had come into the com mittee-room armed with a big package of clippings not only from the local press but from the interior press and from East ern journals that have shown great in terest in the threatened cheap compe tition from the Orient. The committee decided, however, that specific and well authenticated instances rather than gen eral expressions would be the most effec tive means of convincing Congress of the impending danger so that some, protec tive measures might be adopted to shield the American producer and manufacturer. Sonntag said it is well known l hat the enor mous amount of nine carloads of buttons is on its wav frdm Japan to supply a local firm. He also told of cheap watches, made in Japan for much less than a dollar, that would be a menace to the Ameri can watchmakers. It seems that full-jeweled watches with fine movements are made in Japan and put on the market in silver cases for $10, the movement alone being valued in New York at $20. The Japanese are able to do this by employing women and girls to make the delicate movements by the aid of microscopes and at 3 cents per day. Craig told of a St. Louis jute manufac turer named Pierce, who had gone to Man chester and then to India for the purpose of deciding the advisability of moving his whole plant to Calcutta and exporting the manufactured goods from there to the American markets. Pierce told him that while in Manchester this summer he saw a petition signed by 40,000 operatives out of employment requesting Parliament to im pose the hours of labor limit upon India itls a possession of Great Britain, in order to protect them from competition that de prived them of employment. He also told of an American who went to Japan to manufacture a patented article there by cheap labor and export it to this country. Inside of thirty days the Japan ese had copied the design and were put ting the same article on the market for a third of what he was doing it for. Pierce had visited, while in Japan, a great silk and tapestry factory that had been in operation for 260 years, and he had de clared that the best American manufac tures of such articles could not compete with the product, either in skillful work manship or cheapness. Craig added, on his own account, that there is talk of putting in a jute plant and 'a nail factory in Japan. Already, he de clared, their manufacture of cotton yarns had driven the English goods out of the market. He said that everything, from matches at twelve boxes for a cent and suits of tailor-made clothes at $8 and $10 to a first-class sailing yacht at $500, can be and is produced in Japan by means of the ridiculously low wages paid the workmen.
