GOVERNOR GILLETT'S proposition to bond the state for $5,000,000 in aid of the Panama-Pacific exposition will com mend itself to the business sense of / the people of California. The contemplated world's fair is a great deal more than a merely local enterprise. It is intended to bring tens of thousands of visitors to California from all parts of the world. The exposition will furnish Jhe occasion on. which Gov. Gillett' s Statesmanlike Conception will depend innumerable visits to the natural wonders and attractions of the state, and it niust result in a thorough examination of our industrial, agricultural and horticultural resources by the visitors. The fair will, in fact*, furnish the kind of advertisement that Cali fornia needs to bring increase of population and development of its vast possibilities. Of course, San Francisco has a selfish interest jn asking the voters of other parts of the state to assume a third share, or rather less than a third, of the financial burden, but this city is prepared to shoulder something more than the other two-thirds. That under taking seems fair, because, of course, this city expects to be the chief beneficiary. The rest of the state will not lose any money, and it is certain that the investment will yield large returns from the advertisement and resulting influx of population. The Call believes that there is an increasing spirit of co-opera tion among -California cities and .communities, based on the under standing that the growth and prosperity of local markets makes for the advantage of the whole commonwealth and its' individual constituents. We are bound up together, and as- one community advances so shall the others profit. It is a wise policy to foster nearby markets consuming the products on which the charges for transportation must be comparatively light. It is far better for the producers of the great interior valley and of the prosperous region south of Tehachapi to be able to market their goods within the confines of the state than to be compelled to ship them across the mountains at great expense. The proposition advanced by Governor Gillett, if it should meet the approval of the voters, will mark an important advance in this sense of state solidarity and the recognition of the fact. that the prosperity of one section makes for the good of all. In the way of promotion of good feeling among all parts of California and" the spirit of co-operation this vote by itself should mark an important advance. Outside communities will not find San Francisco back ward in the work when their turn comes to ask for favors.*. With a backing of $17,500,000 assured California will be. able to finance the greatest exposition the world has ever seen, and Governor Gillett should be given credit for a really statesmanlike conception. . ; : t - . - \u25a0 .- SECRETARY- BALLINGER will not 'resign under fire, but he will resign. The majority of the joint committee of congress will doubtless "exonerate" him fully, so that he can point with pride to his ' vindication." So much is all cut and dried and part" of the program. Ballinger will then retire and will doubtless be given as fine an assortment-of certificates of good moral and political character as the organs can Political Atmosphere. Is Clearing invent lor tne occasion. \ All this is part of the comedy of politics now in careful rehearsal under the stage direction of Senator Fixit Crane, special distributor of oil for troubled waters. When it is done President Taft will heave a sigh of relief. He does not like Mr. Ballinger a little bit, but politeness forbids harsh' measures.- The president does not work with a big stick, but he usually gets his way. Uncle joe Cannon is still cocky and still profane. He swears; he- will die fighting, because he is of the old guard that never surrenders, but the fiat has gone forth and his political finish is in sight. Nobody wishes him any ill that he has not earned, but the \»^ole country demands his political elimination. He could have been driven from the speaker's chair even in the present congress, but the thing was not worth while. Now even the "regulars" are ready to drop him. and many of them, with fear of the polls before their eyes, are pledging themselves "to their constituents that they will not support him for Speaker again. Of course, 7 the insurgent forces in congress must be materially increased in the next congress, and Mr. Cannon himself has in ho small degree contributed to this result by the silly campaign which . he made in Kansas. Aldrich is down and out, Ballinger is on the way with such consolation as "dignity" may afford, and Uncle Joe will be forcibly extnided owing to circumstances over which he has no control. There will be a clearing of the political atmosphere after November. A CERTAIN Swami Trigunatita, whose ministrations are heard and seen at the Hindu temple in this city, has prepared an elaborate article to demonstrate in his own-words that "Hindu labor is the. cheapest in the. worldl"^ Let his major premise be admitted without question. It did not need so many words for proof. The Hindu laborer is/the cheapest as- well i as the poorest article in the labor market anywhere. Queer Argument For the Hindu We do. not need the writer's testimony, that "these laborers" can. live here as cheap as $3 a month/ nor shall we dispute; his assertion that at : American wages they can save . 5,000 rupees in five -'year's^' All this may be admitted without affecting- the /situation. ' By way; of further inducement the writer holds out"the hope that "pretty soon we m ay find some of these changing their turbans, nightshirts, pajamas and slippers to Hats', coats; trousers and high shoes." Indeed, if they should "emulate' the! elegance of /"a tailor's fashion-plate we can not see how/that would Vaffect -the situation stated by the writer, who, characterizes his people^ as "the cheapest labor' in the world:" '- ;. - :* ; J' ; The Swami then rambles along-Av ith-a i superfluity .of i words about EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE CALL "the brotherhood of nations" and the opportunity of missionary endeavor and the sacred soil of India and, so forth. It is a very" curious screed, but leaves r us cold. When the writer labors/ to persuade us that Hindu labor is a good thing for this country he practically admits the whole case against himself when he" declares that it is "the cheapest in the world."/ Indeed, it shouldrbe cheap because of its quality, .but its admission -to this continent would mean destruction of the American standard of • living; - The Swami would bring us all down to the $3 a month mark. That would be a new and unwelcome: sense of the brotherhood of nations." SUCH testimony as has been given by Richard Ovee of Portland, Ore., in the damage suits against the local 'fish trust should be conclusive. If ever there was a case of conspiracy in restraint The Fish Trust Is on the Run Mr. Ovee came here with, a patented device calculated to cheapen the cost of catching' fish and with that intention met the men who have controlled the local industry and cornered the (market. He was told by them in so many words that they; did not; want to cheapen production/ They had cornered the market and controlled the ; trade. Further they told him plainly that any competitor who might have the hardihood to fight them would be crushed, and they described to him the methods of blacklisting and boycotting by which they had driven out of business one such foolhardy enterprise. — The trust people made no secret of their methods and purposes in their conferences with 1 Mr. Ovee. They believed, themselves altogether secure from attack as- vvell as superior tothe law. They might have so continued had not The Call, with the assistance of District Attorney Fickert, undertaken their- exposure. They have by this time discovered that the law has a long armi and- their money is not likely to save them from punishment* as; criminals or :from being mulcted in heavy damages in civil suits brought by men whom they have oppressed.,/ s . ||:/ ; /^PE;RSVO.N : S"-./rN--^g-E/..;N;;E^S : FRANK COX. an attorney of.

Unusual Visitor in the Marts of Finance confederate states' bill— and 6rcgg is cashier of the Crocker nationar-bank. Fads and fancies and arts, as long as they do not affect the milling on the edge of money or the portraits of our presidents on currency, do not interest Gregg as' much as a canceled postage stamp of the week before last. He has been at -the bank for 22 years,: counting money, lending money, handling money, with, such -scrupulous rcare and precision and skill that during that time he has risen in the institution to the office of. cashier, and has a ma hogany desk with a vase of roses on top of it. Gregg may or may not know that he has the vase of roses on his desk. , '\u25a0 ' While Gregg was sitting at "his mahogany desk recently, figuring «p the crude oil industry, in California and the rates of interest in the year 1924 if the crops continue, good, a small man was wafted in from Market street. He; fluttered among the. mahogany desks and finally settled lit Gregg's elbow» as perked.arid preened and fresh as a canary.. 6regg looked up. JThe appa rition was '.unusual' in the marts of commerce, but the cashier was indulgent. -;- "Ah,' Mr. Gregg," chirped the canary in melodious . cadence, "Ah, Mr. Gfegg, you have just returned from Europe, I believe?" *' ? 1* ' /"No," replied Gregg; "never was in Europe, never saw, never heard of Europe, except when we make out bills of exchange or letters of credit." "My goodness gracious!" chirped the visitor, preening his purple scarf, "then you are not interested in the venerable civilization of the old world, in the old masters?" :// / - Gregg asserted that what interested him most was interest. "I ihirik the reason I hold this job i* because I never was in Europe and never took part in the' older civilization," he stated, most explicitly. * "My good fettow," exclaimed the visitor, in a canary flutter, "but you are, Mr. Gregg, I know, interested in amateur theatricals." "Amateur theatricals {"shouted Gregg. "Good Lord! I never took part in an amateur theatrical show in my life." ' / '/ "But you are a patron of the arts, of -the .drama! of pageantry, of the graces and the merry masque/ Now, I am about to organize an amateur theatrical entertainment, and I would like to have you take the — " He got no further. A draft from Chicago swept out of an opened safe and the canarymah was wafted out of the office, out of the atmosphere of prosaic mahogany. i ' \u25a0' Gregg was left amazed and silent behind his adding machine. "What did your talkative friend want?" asked one of Gregg's colleagues. . "I don't know what he wanted," answered Gregg; "but he needed a check."/ ;/v : Gregg has now got a package of salt to put on the next canary bird that is wafted into the bank. And he wonders who sent the first one. Mother Present at Parting of Friend^ Baker was present yesterday when her son, Ray, said goodby to Mrs. Mar garet* ETrhersonMcKim on the deck of the liner Tenyo Maru.~ Mrs. McKim and -her traveling companion, the baroness de Chauboulon. sailed away to gether, and as the steamer pulled out into the stream Ray Baker and his mother stood at the end of pier 34, Ray waving his straw hat and Mrs. Baker watching Ray. Before the steamer sailed Mrs. McKim said that she was going away for a rest. She laughed at the idea of regarding Ray Baker as a serious matri monial prospect. The idea of matrimony at all seemed to amuse the pretty lady, who said she was tired to death, but didn't look it. "I will be 'back in October." she said, "and until then 1 4 want the news papers to forget me. I am going to try to forget them. I need a rest, and I am going to have it. I am going to have breakfast in bed every day until we reach Yokbjiama. I'm not going to get married. I'm not going to write a book or 'do anything of any interest to anybody. I'm just a tired girl going away to get a long rest." \u25a0 -.. . ... / THE SMART SET RODERICK MACLEAY, polo player, popular bachelor and brother of Mrs. Joseph D. Grant, who distinguished himself by winning a prize for his Scotch kilts at the Mardi Gras last year, is adding further luster to his name by a daring venture has has just embarked upon. Maclcay has gone to' sea in a motor boat. Two intrepid friends accompany him. There were once three men who went to sea in a tvb — but. the parallel is too painful to pursue further. Theirs was an untoward fate. The Macleay party left Portland last .week and are now motoring up the Japan current to Victoria, with Alaska their final .destination.

It is an oceangoing boat and well accommodate ten people. On the present voyage are a chauffeur, or whatever the driver of a motor boat is called, and several servants, besides the host and his guests, a phonograph and provisions for a month's cruise. While in England last summer Macleay motored up the Thames and became an enthusiast. On his return a short time ago he purchased a boat in New York and had it shipped to Portland, where he lives when he is not at Burlingame. In the last few weeks he has tried it out on a number of trips down the Columbia, venturing several times across the bar. The success oi these trials inspired him to attempt the Alaska tgp.
