PLATFORM.
We, the Democracy of Los An
geles county in Convention assem-
bled, declare that the delegates to
the Convention to frame u new
Constitution for California should
be graded by the following princi-
Piles and rules of conduct, viz:
The State shall control all non
political corporations existing or to
exist within its limits and shall
never abandon or relinquish the
right to regulate and control fares,
freights, tolls, wharfage or other
compensation levied by railroad,
steamboat, gas, water or other
similar corporations.
Discrimination in any form
in favor of or against any
persun or locality shall be ex-
pressly prohibited in the Constitu-
tion.
Monopoly of the soil should be
discouraged as being fraught with
peril to the masses of the people.
The acquisition, cultivation and
improvement of small farms should
be fostered, and that these objects
may be effectually reached a
just and equitable system of taxa
tion should be provided for which
will force the uncultlvated and un-
improved territory of the monopo-
list to bear its proper portion of the
public expense, and such unim-
proved land shall be assessed at the
same rate as improved prop
erty ofa similar quality. Improve
ments shall be assessed separate
ly from real estate. Taxation shall
be based upon actual value. No
one shall be assessed for his debts;
oil shall pay taxes upon what they
are truly worth.
The welfare of the masses and
the demands of morality and good
government require that the Chi
nese immigration shall cease and
that those Mongolians who are now
among us shall depart, and we
therefore declare that the right to
enact and enforce rigid sanitary
and police regulations, not in con-
fiict with the Constitution of the
United States or the laws made In
pursuance thereof, shall be ex-
pressly asserted to exist in our
ta anuatu an1 fnu,n nnvarp-
