on land, and in little time there will
be neither houses, orchards nor vine-
yards in the country. A few days ago
the HERALD published "a thoughtful
and well written article on taxation,
by Judge THOMPSON of this city, in
which position directly opposite to
that of the Post is taken. The Judge
proposes to raise the government rev.
enue by taxing the consumer. The
farmers land is untaxed, but those
who consume the products of the farm
pay the revenue. There is good deal
of the old free trade element in this if
looked at from one point of view. 1t
has the appearance OF adaptation
to the fitness of things. The farmer
pays q heavy tax on everything he
consumes outside Of the products of
his farm. What we are pleased to call
protection to our manufacturers is SIM
ply tax on the consumer of the arti-
cles these factories place on the market.
The immunity from taxation on his
land would be a protection to the
farmer while the tax on his products
would come from the consumers. To
make Judge THoMPsoN's plan work
well heavy tariff duty on foreign po-
tatoes and beans would be an absolute
necessity. There are number of new
and many practical suggestions in
Judge THoMPsoN's paper which Will
set the people to thinking, and this is
what is needed. 1t would be better
for the country if our Legislators
woul d devote more time and attention
to how to make taxation equal on all
than how to make the revenue meet
the expenses.

Going Ahead.

Yesterday grading commenced on
the Los Angeles and Independence
Railroad, between this city and Trux-
ton, and we are informed by Chief
Engineer CRAWFORD that the road
bed will be completed and ready for
the ties and iron from the water to
within about four miles of
this city within a month or six weeks
from this date. A large force is blast
ing out the road bed through Cajon
Pass, and the number of men en-
ployed on that part of the road will be
increased to the utmost number that
can be used in a short time. Another
party of one hundred Cinnamon has
been ordered from San Francisco and
will be on hand in a few days. The
contract for the lumber and piles to
build the wharf at Truxton has been
closed with San Francisco firm and
the first cargoes will arrive in short
time. These evidences of progress in
the work are gratifying to the citizens
of this valley.

Sacramento Union VS.. Los Angeles Star.

EDITOR HERALD: There is rich
specimen of unintelligible eloquence
to be found in the Los Angeles Star of
the oath inst, rejoicing in what it is
pleased to call " the downfall of the
Sacramento UnioR.n After reading
two and half columns of this lick
spittle eloquence, we gathered the
prominent ideas of the Star editor, viz:
popular voice of the people and the
government of the country in which
we live; that it has made us what we
are, and we must submit to its rule in
all things; and any editor or man that
dares to utter word against it's die
tum, must go down like the Sacra-
mento Union. This article fixes be-
yond doubt the constellation in
which the Los Angeles Star is to re-
volve in future. Perhaps the Star
editor may not be apprised of the fact
that the Sacramento Union accom-
plished more in obtaining means to
build the Central Pacific Railroad than
all the other journals on the coast
combined. Not only SO, it has always
acknowledged the great advantage we
have derived from that road; but it
has, in mastery manner, denounced
the manipulators of that road for in-
terfering in the politics of our govern
ment, contending that it was built by
the Government, and therefore should
not assume the control of its creator.
If for this great crime it has offended
public opinion and hastened its own
destruction, there are thousands of the
best journals on the continent follow
ing in its wake. But we presume the
Star is safe; it will never ago DOWN.
for any such crime. The true inter
probation of the case is about this: The
Sacramento Union was a powerful
organ and always welded in behalf Of
the people, and, being popular with
the masses, it could and did thwart
many of the political schemes of the
manipulators of the Central Pacific
Company. That company found it
cheaper to buy it out than to endure
its opposition. JUSTICE.

The Taxation Question.

The San Francisco Post has theory
or rather hobby, which it rides with
zeal and earnestness that would do
much in the way of advancing prac-
tical proposition. 1t wants to tax
lands and lands alone. 1t believes that
land should be so heavily taxed that
no one could afford to own it and no
one would occupy it longer than its
use enabled him to make profit over
the cost of taxation. This would
throw the burden of taxation on the
tillers of the soil. From them would
be collected every branch Of the reve-
nue. required to support the Govern
ment, while those who lived in cities,
owned fine houses and held a large
bank account would be as exempt from
taxation as the editor of the. Post or
the inmates of a poer-house. One Pc
cular feature would be developed by
the adoption of the Post plan of rails
Ing revenue-there would be no houses
In the country. A farmer might plow
and SOW piece of land, but he would
not be silly enough to build house on
farm which the next Increase of
taxeswould compel him to abandon.
The farmers would become nomads
ana i've In tents, which they could
fold and steal away at the approach of
the tax-collector. Place all taxation

From San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 24th.-
The investigation into the affairs of
the Tax Collectors Office, by the FL
nance Committee of the Board of Su-
perviors was continued yesterday. No
evidence was adduced throwing any
new light on the matter, though a
number of witnesses were examined.
Mr.. Austin made an extended state
ment, explaining the difficulty OF
avoiding errors on the books when
crowded with business, especially in
regard to poll taxes. Mr.. Ashbury,
the Auditor, testified confirming the
statement. of Austin. The investiga-
tion will Probably be completed this
week.
In the Probate Court yesterday, the
petition of Emma A. Milliken, ,daugh-
ter of t. j. Milliken, late prominent
wholesale merchant of Sacramento,
for the revocation of letters of admin
istration granted upon the estate OF
her father to G. N. Stratton, came up.
The letters were granted to Stratton
upon the request of Kate p. Pearson, a
mulatto woman who represents her
self to be the widow of Milliken. The
case excites much interest on account
of the notoriety attached to the liason
of Milliken with the colored woman,
resulting in the obtaining of divorce
by his wife and his marriage to Kate
Pearson the next day, and his subse-
quent death. The point sought to be
made by the petitioner is that the mar
riage was null and void on account OF
the woman being a mulatto. The
case was continued to Friday, March
5th, when the question of Jurisdiction
and whether a mulatto under the
| Constitution of the United States il
prohibited from marrying white
man, will be argued.

Progressing.

AL Average VI bllIO6 SledLleIS pei
week land at Wilmington on the down
trip from San Francisco. Each of
these steamers bring us about one
hundred and fifty passengers. AT
least three-fourths of these passengers
are people who come into the valley
to remain. What becomes of them?
At first glance we are apt to be inn
pressed with the notion that our pop
ulation is not increasing as rapidly as
these figures would seem to warrant.
Yet on refiecti on and investigation we
reach different conclusion. A care
fully taken census would show a very
large increase in the number of resi-
dents in this city and valley over that
of two or even one year ago. This is q
large valley and its almost universal
fertility makes it an abiding place for
vast number of people without an
apparent density of population. They,
the thousands of new comers, are
scattered over this and San Bernar-
dino counties. They are locating on
the rich lands that make up such a
large area of both counties, and in a
little time the wealth and improve
ments resulting from their labor will
be more apparent than now. There
are not perhaps to exceed thirty thou
sand people in this county to-day; yet
Los Angeles valley is capable of sup
porting million people, and the day
will come when her population will
equal that number. In the steady and
regular increase of numbers we are
liable to overlook the fact that our
population is rapidly increasing; still
when we look over the valley in detail
We find towns, villages and settle
ments where year ago the sheep
were grazing. San Fernando is the
creation of less than a year. Where
now we find quite a little town, one
year ago there was not a house. Ana
helm has almost doubled in population
and more than doubled her wealth
within that period. Los Nietos did
not exist one year ago; now We speak
of it as a town, while around it
for miles the farming population has
more than doubled and the agricultur-
al industries more than trebled.
This is also true of the Monte and
Spadra and vicinity. The same in
crease in numbers and wealth is no.
ticeable along the railroad from this
city to Wilmington. Los Angeles has
moved forward with rapid strides.
She has built many fine business
houses and private dwellings, and it
seems to us that there are one-fourth
more people here now than ten
months ago. But it is in the agricul-
tural interests that we have made the
greatest advances. The number of
new farms that have been made in
this valley within a year, could they
be Immediately known, would aston
ish the old settlers. The process of
cutting up large tracts into small
farms has been going on steadily, and
this alone has added many hundred
families to our farming population. 1t
is fact that cannot be denied that
Los Angeles valley is improving more
rapidly than any other portion of the
State.
