to Circulate Petition

PROFIT TO BE LARGE
Eastern Capitalists Favor
Move if Fifty Year
Grant Is Gained
The people' of San Francisco are to
be asked what their wishes ar« regard
ing a bond Ipeuc for the purpose of
.constructing a subway system to re
lieve t!:e r-'^prit congestion of surface
traffic". For more than a- ye*r many
prominent men have been investigating
Ul«rprbject and affairs are now almost
ready for the circulation of a petition
to til* hoard of supervisors, asking for
ilie issuance of a sufficient quantity of
Lrtjids to coret the cost of such a sys
im,. or. at tlte lea*C>to xjefray the cost
•of the initial section of th«* road.
Matt 1. Sullivan and-Isidor
.la-cob? are support in c the project with
.tlip-aid of many oth»>r business and
professional raon of th» city.
1 Four million and a half dollars is the
estimated amount required to construct
the system for all practiral. neods of
th# city at present. .Th? following

In order to earn 6 per cent on an ln
stment of this size 30,000 5 cent fares

the conductors of the trains. The pres

that this number would almost be
doubled, making a large dividend.

\u25a0 Supervisor Sullivan In a letter to
Jsld'^r Jacob*, dated December 3, gives
his views of the local traffic conditions
Innd the only method of remedying
them, and he promises to take the mat
ter up with his fellow supervisors at
the first opportunity. An issuance of
.-•uiids will be asked for the building
at once of at least the first section of
ihe subway. As It is unlikely that the
board of supervisors will give consent
to tho sectional plan the circulation of
a petition among the people will fol-
The plan contemplates the building
of a subway in Market street as far
west as Valencia street, thence to
Twenty-ninth and Mission streets.
Another Fubway ie planned from Fort
Mason, along Van Ness avenue to Mar
ket street and from there to the
Potreio. As feeders of these • main
lines the projectors plan to build
an elevated line along the water front,
froxn the point where the Fort Mason
Jinc ends to the ferries, with an ex
tension to Islais creek, thence via Array
street to the main line "at Twenty
ninth and Mission streets. Another is
rontftmplated from the ferries direct
oat Mission street to the terminal of
t'j« main line.
In view of the fact that 60 per cent
Of the entire copulation of the city is
estimated to lfv« in the so called Mis
sion district, and that the locality Is
crowing fast, the proposed road would
prove profitable from the start.
>CED PERMIT FOR ALL FIRES
All persons who. thinking that the
legal season in which they may burn
refuse without a burning permit has
pasted, are warned to beware, for the
Plate forester, G. B. Lull, has announced
that under the state law there is now
no such thing as a "dry season" or a
\u25a0\u25a0net Feason" in the 6tate. Hereto
fore, under section 354 of the penal
code, a burning permit was re<Juired
only when burning was to be done
during th«s period between May 1 and
the first soaking rains of fall or win
ter, which period. was called tha "dry
season." The courts now. construe a
dry season to be any period of . the
: <»ar when a fire will spread, no mat
ter whether there have been soaking
rains or cot.

DEMOCRATIC CLUB IS
IN FAVOR OF REFORMS
Proposed Pledge for Dele
gates to State and Na
tional Conventions
j Direct primary election, constitutional
I amendments proposed by S per cent
of the voters, total exclusion of\Asiatic
labor, state rights, eight hour laws, the
election of the president by direct vote
and abolition of the tariff on trust made
articles are among: the reforms which
any delegate who goes to the next
democratic state or national conven
tion with the consent of the San
Francisco democratic, club must be
pledged to.
The San Francisco democratic club
is composed of those Bourbons "led by
Lewis Byington and kindred spirits who
are opposed first, last and all the time
to Gavin McNab's management of the
affairs of the democratic party in San
Francisco. . McNab undoubtedly will
feel that it is incumbent upon him and
his organization to see that the San
Francisco democratic club has no de
termining voice in the selection of dele
gates to either, the state or national
convention. '
The followers of Byington and Ma
honey are prepared to believe that Mc-
Nab will oppose the realization of their
good intentions. They are" accustomed
to that sort of thing. They may fail
to elect delegates, but not even Mc-
Xab can keep them from passing good
resolutions. According: to the resolu
tions adopted by the club Monday night
all delegates to; the coming state and
national conventions must pledge them
selves to" and must vote for none but
men pledged to the following principles:
Primary tickets ooiniDated ia the open, free
from boss dictation.
A constitutional amendment giving S per cent
of the Totera the ripht to propose by petition
state constitutional amendments.
A direct primary law. Including tbe selection
of UniW States senators. '.
Initiative, referendnni and recall in local, stata
I and national affairs.
The ejection of president, Tice president and
United States senators b.r direct vote of tbe i
people.
JPreservatinn of Mate and local rights fre«
frtnn federal interference.
Abolition of the tariff on all trust made good*.
Total «xr!n«ion of all Asiatic labor.
The eight hour Jaw and the law regulating tb«
use of the injunction as proposed by the Ameri
can federation of labor..
