The retail liquor dealers in reference to
the license tax, have passed these resolu-
tions THAT the liquor dealers of San
Francisco look with distrust upon the ac
ton OF the civic authorities in attempting
| to curtail the constitutional rights OF Amer.
can citizens to earn living for themselves
and families. That we will resist to the
utmost any further unfair and unequal en-.

we, as good citizens, are ever willing to
submit to all necessary and just regulations
and laws, We will cease no legal efforts to
resist unjust discrimination against US,
such as we consider the local licenses to be.
To further this end all liquor dealers are
invited to join this Association and assist

The Immigration Association has held its
semi annual meeting. The Presidents re.
port states that the contributing members
number l24 firms, with an aggregate
monthly income of $685. 81. The total
sum received is SO, 500 Is, and disburse-
ments So, 299 81. The unsettled condition
of affairs in regard to the Chinese question
influenced the subscription list. So far the
income has been sufficient to carry on the
work without mourning debt. Salaries
have not been commensurate with the SER
vice rendered. Ten thousand copies Of
pamphlets in English, and five thousand in
German, were distributed, the preparation
and translation both being done in the
office. The Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad Company also printed from the
stereotyped plates %, 900 copies without
cost to the Association. The plats of Gov
eminent lands in Mendocino, two volumes
San Luis Obispo, two volumes Lake and
Sonoma, each one volume are completed
Shasta county, two volumes Santa Cruz,
eleven volumes, are nearly finished. In
these counties the records show about
2 365, 600 acres of surveyed Government
land open to entry and settlement. AL
ready about $50 600 acres have been per-
sonally examined, and the Association pos
sesses sufficient information to locate prob
. ably LOCO families, giving to each l60
acres. Late reports from the land officer
in the field are most encouraging. Organ
izations working in connection with the
Association, but depending on local contri.
buttons, have been formed in Shasta and
Lassen counties, and San Luis Obispo and
San Diego, and are moving in the same
direction. Information through letters and
newspapers has been received from SO out
of the 50 counties. Applications for homes
have been numerous, AIS personally, and
429 by letter. Owing to the lack of organ.
lied effort, California has not received her
quota of immigrants, but this can be re-.
medied, especially as immigrant rates from
Europe will probably be reduced. But
something must be done in the meantime.
The continued heavy influx of immigrants
leaves no doubt that the arrivals from Eu.
rope the present year will be the largest on
record, and we are receiving comparatively
none.
