There; is no reason in the world why the board should make' a i»ift of a valuable franchise in the city's leading thoroughfare to the United Railroads unless adequate consideration therefor is given. In return for this privilege of extending the Suiter street (rollcy line to the ferry llie corporation offers nothing at all. The protest of the Public Ownership association and other civic bodies against this grant or gift is well founded, ft is demanded that the corporation in rfcttjni for the. proposed franchise shall give the city the right to use its tracks /or a municipal rail way in lower Market street. It is a reasonable and just demand, and the plea on which the United Railroads, refuses is nonsense. The managers pretend that the bond holders would not agree to the concession. Everybody knows that the bond holders would have no standing in objection to a legitimate bargain of a business character made between the city and the corporation with due consideration given on both sides. This sham objection is quite in character with the settled policy of the United Railroads in dealing with the city. It is in line with the practice of running horsecars on the Sutter street extension to the ferry when this imposition on the traveling public could be so easily and naturally avoided by switching the Sutter street cars to the central tracks. All this is part of the policy of trickery and deceit which maintains a dummy corporation in nominal ownership of the Sutter street line. The relations maintained by the United Rail roads with the city are everywhere characterized by chicanery. The corporation employs political agents to "work up a spurious public sentiment among civic bodies for the purpose of bringing influence to bear on the municipal governing body in the hope oi getting franchises and concessions without any sort of fair If the supervisors make this grant as • "~~<c<l on terms of unconditional surrender to the corporation ]:\u25a0 Ui2 public; will know what to think about them. THE country lias become accustomed to regard the Panama canal as a costly enterprise. It is quite willing to spend a matter of $400,000,000 or even 55 00,000,000 if that sum is required to make the canal ?. commercial and strategic factor, but the people will not acquiesce in plans to put superfluous frills on the project merely to fatten some of the official departments. It. appears now that an expensive scheme of fortifications is afoot. Says the Uoston Transcript : The general impression has boon that the government pimply * con templated fortifying the canal entrances and approaches but it the Army and Xavy Journal; usually exceedingly well informed, is correct, the plans the board is expected to work out involve defending the entire zone. Xol alone i* the canal to be made invulnerable from the «ca. but from land as<auhs as wrll. The Journal maintains that the "real necessity" at Panama is the fortification of the 21 mires . of frontier on each ,«ide of the zone, which mean? defense by a mobile army. This i< an editorial opinion, 'but it is so linked with statements that the government has been inspired by the consideration of the po««ibility of war with Mexico, that even it" we deem it simply otic of iho:-e "war clouds'* which military circles >ec when expenses arc to be justified, it is ftill worth watching. • Xo serious discussion of this absurd war scare is needed. It is merely a sample of the customary merchandise of department lobbyists in pursuit of appropriations. Mexico. 'having neither £hips nor balloons in stock, could not get within 900 .miles of the canal without marching across the whole length of the Central American republics. Regarded in another sense this lobbyist's plea is an insult to a good neighbor, wholly unjustified by' anything' that Mexico has done or contemplates doing. Gratuitous Insult Offered To Mexico THE Canadian "tinpqt navy,"' as its enemies in the dominion like to call it. is already a cause of war before the first keel is laidT Indeed, the scheme is denounced in a parliamentary " way as treason, and. therefore, foul. In the parliament at Ottawa Sir Wilfrid Laurier is named as the traitor secretly plot* ting to deliver his country from British rule. j Curiously enough, this appears to be regarded as a crime in certain Canadian circles, and R. L. •Borden, a member of parliament, has discovered the. treason and is prepared to nip it in the bud. Thus Borden : Having regard to some of the provision < of this bill, and in view of the rumors that have reached us from certain sources, it seems to me that this measure is held out as an important step to that independence which was once the aspiration of the leader of the. other side. The government made no answer to this imputation and its silence served to promote the suspicions of the opposition. It is not impossible that Sir Wilfrid may cherish some such aspiration, but why it -should be regarded as treason in Canada or .elsewhere is nut very clear. Possibly Mr. Borden was merely "doing politics." as we say on this side of the line. The politician can always bring his blood to a boil when he .fixes a prophetic eve on the polls'. Sir Wilfrid doubtless understood the situation and went on to define; his position, using, by way of example, the dispute between England .and the United Stales in 1861 over the Mason and Slidell incident, lie explained: •'- If war was undertaken by Kngland under similar circumstances ! 'would hesitate much before, giving my consent to Canada's taking part ,in ; such a war as thai. However, if war was now declared between Kngland and Russia. Canada's first duty would be to protect British Columbia from attack on the Pacific. - This, of course, was worse treason and -'.more of it. Here was a flat declaration of independence that harrowed up the souls of Declaration of Canadian Independence WHAT arc the uses and design of a county forestry board as created and authorized by act of the legislature, assuming that the legislature 'of California has designs? , Alamcda county has constituted a.board.of thisdescrip'-" tion and its members arc now out to pursue and run down their functions, which evade capture and , will not stand still to be hitched. ]\\ furtherance of this official chase the Alameda county board of supervisors asked District Attorney Donahue to. say just what a county board of forestry might legally do. The learned gentleman's response, .as far as a mere layman may interpret it, is that a board of forestry may give vgood advice — that and nothing more. The foresters may tell the citizen how or where to saw oft a limb, but he dares not plant a tree by the wayside except at his own proper peril.. Moreover, it seems that the board of • supervisors can not legally. authorize the forestry department of the county to plant any trees on the roads. So much is gathered out of this extract from Mr. Donahue's opinion: . Section- 4041. subdivision .36. of the political code •\u25a0provides., that boards of supervisor? shall have power to "encourage," under such'regu lations asthey may adopt, the planting and; preservation of shade and ornamental^trccs on the public roads and highway?, and : on and 'about' the public grounds and buildings' of the county, and; to pay., to- persons planting living trees thus- planted, at the age "of four year*, a sum -not . exceeding $1." . . " It appears, then, to be. a question of m'6ral> support distributed by the way side and supplemented after four y ears ?by- an optional dollar a tree. The board of forestry is denied/even this form of "encouragement" King; ... The. law creating the board appears to be a- son oi legislative '•'excursion ; in the clouds. ' A Legislative Puzzle in JAlameda EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE CALL WHEN TEDDY COMES MARCHING HOME THE suburban citizen will note with ' sonic surprise that District Attorney Bullock of San Mateo county has discovered . the penal code of California. There had been sonic reasonably . •well grounded suspicion that this was an I obsolete body of jurisprudence in that county, but it appears thgt these lapses of continuity -in the reign of law were due to the fact \u25a0 that Mr. Bullock had. not completed his legal education. With all the enthusiasm of a. new convert he now announces that he has discovered section 412. which forbids prize fights. Whether 412 is to be San Matco's steady company for the future, or merely^ a bright particular star and transient visitor like comet A. no man who is not endowed with the gift of prophecy may say. Mr. .Bullock's announcement makes an interesting coincidence with the return of the native fresh from his thrilling ride across oceans and continents bearing tidings of great joy about the heroes and demigods of the prize ring who arc headed for the peninsula of San Francisco. IfMr. Coffroth— for it was he — should find that the penal code runs in San Mateo county, possibly owing to the untimely activity of an uncomfortable grand jury, it might be awkward for what the sporting editor delights to cail "fightdom." That interesting sphere of influence might find itself sorely limited. Cut possibly the "authorities" in San Francisco will be found more plastic to the promoter's fis.t. Otherwise the outlook might be dark indeed, for one learns from the historian of the day in San Mateo that "the Coffroth contingent was taken by £torm by the avalanche that they had caused." It appears, then, that the announcement by Mr. Bullock of his intention to obey the law takes on the aspect of an avalanche. In the meantime one learns from Xcw York that Mr. jack Johnson of heavy weight renown has been indicted for felcfnious assault for '"beating up" somebody not known toY fame, and if convicted may have to go to jail for -a period that would preclude his prospective celebration of the fourth of July somewhere on this peninsula. So with penal codes; in active operation on two sides of the continent the outlook in '-'fightdom" is darfc and glooniy. Bullock's Discovery of The Pe^nal Code SECRETARY WILSOX of the department of agriculture puts the blame for high prices on the retailer. Ills annual report contains an elaborate argument on this proposition, and pro \u25a0"\u25a0"-"I claims some unexpected doctrine that, if valid, would upset the -whole science of political economy as it has been taught. v It is the first axiom of economic science •\u25a0• that competition lowers prices. Secretary rVilson declares that competition raises prices. vWc quote his rcason ng on this point :.: . 'Flic lower tlic grade <»f beef the greater, the percentage -[of ; gross proiit. In 'Boston.- 'for illustration, the- rate of gross profit is -nearly twice as great for beef costing S cents at wholesalers for beef costing' '. 11 and lly". cents. ' Low priced beef is marked up nearly twice as-much \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0relatively 'as. high' priced beef, hi: other words, perhaps it is a >ate in ference that the. poor people pay nearly, twice' as much profit as the well to do. people pay. The* retailer's delivery service is costly, however, and the retail ' buj-iiVes^is overdone The multiplication of sfnalj shops is a burden to consumers and no source of riches to the small shop keepers. When twenty or, more small.Shops divide the. retail business within an area that could be served by one large shop.the expenses of .the: many ?hops for labor, horse-^rent and other' things that arc;in excess.of what would .be suf •'icient for:thc - one shop must^go into-the retail prices, of the-meat sold. Furthermore.; customers choose the higher priced cuts of jncat. Steals 'and roasts are r the preferences, and these must :'..havc names that arc re j garded as respectable^ Consequently, ione-rfiftli .of 'the carcass is bought at the highest 'price-— porterhouse^ [steaks at. prices" 'as' high' a* 25 and 30 \u25a0 cents a pound, sirloin at : 2o to 25 cents and rib roasts at 20 cents. ; AH. this i^ very interesting,; and ~\vould-bc; more convincing, did not the secretary contradict himself in the short space'of two para graphs. \u25a0;*Thc:l6werHhc grade ;of beef." 'he says, "the greater the percentage of gross; profit.'' - In the next paragraph he say's the peo ple, want on iy V- ; thc higher priced cuts of meat.''
