A NEW POLICY FOR SAN FRANCISCO
The business people Of the city of San
Francisco who for twenty years stood in
the way of their own prosperity, and by
an iiIiberaI policy toward the interior, and
! especially toward transportation interests,
have seriously injured the State and re-
tarded its development, have at last
awakened to The error Of their ways The
Chamber of Commerce the Board of Trade
and thc Manufacturers Association. have
held Joint meeting and appointed num-
Der Of committees, which may well be
termed Salvation Committees, to consider
and report upon the best means to revive
trade Augment immigration, reduce port
charges, encourage transportation interests
and enlarge the now marrow bounds of San
Franciscos trade area.
IL IL Il "INt Hl"Ft!HtIIl' ana ne reports OF
these committees will be awaited with
profound interest It may not be con
siicred impcrtinent tn suggest that the
spcediest way to arrive at a remedy for an
evil is TO seek out its cause These COM
nittceS, therefore, can not do better than

the consequences, the true cause Of the
slagnation of business in the metropolis.

cisco has at last awakened to a realization
of the fact that she has not, and never had,
mortgage upon the commerce of the
coast. nor ha, she ever been. or can She
ever be- u trade dictator. When She ap-
parently occupied such q relation to the
Pacific coast and adjacent territories She
was deceived. A broader spirit and more
liberal policy must eltar,ct,rizo The moi, ot
