The occupation tax OF Texas is
legnlized inlquity and is wholly unnec-
essary. 1t exacts the same tax OF men
without reference to the amount Of bust
mess done by them. A poor contractor,
just starting In business, has to pay the
same tax that is paid by rich contrac-
tor, who is overrun with business; the
grocer or merchant, with handful Of
goods, pays as much occupation tax as
u rich wholesale grocer and merchant
A young lawyer and doctor who has a
tight squeeze to exc out living, pays
as much occupation tax as the lawyer
or doctor in full practice, and the same
holds true, throughout, Of the occupa-
tion tax. II 1t be not paid the party Is
liable to be indicted; but he is not liza
BILE to Indictment for falling to pay other
taxes. Why this difference 1t is SIM
ply indicting man for not paying n
debt claimed by the State and county,
when he probably cannot raise the
money. This tax is unequal and unjust.
1t Is a legalized oppression. 1t makes
no difference between wholesale and
retail dealers, and is oppressive to poor
men scuiiiing to keep their heads above
water. Let the people run the next
Legislature, and have laws made to suit
them, not the lawyers.

Return of Happy Hunters.

A hunting party, consisting of Geo. A.
Vignolo, j. l.. Vignes, Thos, Weiss, l..
A. Barthel and Frank HWhite returned
home last Saturday, after ten days eS.
petition, during which time they ex.
pored the principal hunting ranges of
Los Angeles and Ventura counties in
search of game. As trophies of their
craftsmanship the boys exhibited several
pair of anters and different species OF
hides, which would lead one to believe
that they had been quite successful.
Messrs. Vignolo and Nignes had the good
fortune to secure two OF the largest deer,
the one shot by Mr.. Viguolo in particu.
lar requiring the combined strength of
the whole party to TRY him. They re.
port game quite plentiful but very diff.
iicult to reach, some places in the noun.
tains requiring hours OF hard travel on
foot to accomplish, and then at the eS.
pense OF bruised feet and torn clothes,
During their sojourn in the mountain
they travelled over some beautiful
stretches of country and at night usually
camped near bubbling spring OF water,
which gave the boys new experience
and one pleasant to remember.

A Very Lively Circus.

Yesterday afternoon man who
wished to buy team with which to
haul brick, found one ut q stable on
Requena street. The owner said that
the off horse would pull the near horse
They were hilched to the brick wagon,
and. with hew harness. vera a well
matched team, of horses. The man who
was to drive them got in the wagon, also
the owner and purchaser. After about
twenty minutcs trial, the near horse
holding back, notwithstanding the lash
ing, while the off horse kicked up be-
hind, they went at dead run down
Reauena street. when the off horse
kicked over the pole, fell, and the stop
page was unpleasantly sudden. The
wagon was turned around and the
horses again put in. This time the off
horse evinced willingness to start, but
the near one was more stubborn than a
mule, repeated applications of black
snake failing to do any good. until they
again started on a dead run and turned
the acute corner into Wilmington street.
upon which thoroughfare they pro-
ceeded about fifty feet when the off
horse kicked and loosed the doublet tree
from the pole. The wild animals were
exceedingly hard to hold, but it was ac.
complished. Mac, the driver walked
them around the street about half an
hour, and hitched them up again. By
gentleness in speaking to them, they
shortly started again, and brought up on
the sidewalk. Another break landed
them in the vacant lot west of the Iron
Pipe works. That settled it. The
former owner didn't want the broncos
They were taken out and the wagon
drawn to the stable by the purchaser.
The total distance traversed in this cir
Gus was about two squares, and the time
was an hour and half. A large num-
Der of people gathered to witness this
free circus in advance OF the elephants
to arrive this week.

A Lively Saturday.

Yesterday was one of the liveliest
Saturdays on record, although some of
the croakers say it is dull. The streets
were simply iammed with vehicles of all
kinds. from the jumper TO the truck, and
all busy. Frequently it was difficult to
pass through narrow side streets. The
merchants reported good business all
day and evening, which WINS easily to
be seen by n walk through the business
streets. 1t was difficult to find street
car in any place that would hold more
than one or two more, although they
are supposed to bo made of india rubber.
The hotels had their regular custom,
and little more; but the restaurants,
although there are so many in the city,
found it rather difficult to accommodate
the crowd OF new customers and regu-
lara from oil parts Of the county. The
livery stables were filled with the rigs OF
these ruralists, who came in to exchange
produce for other necessaries, and the
streets We're crowded with pedestrians,
day and evening. The day will long be
remembered as busy Saturday.

The New Alameda Street Sewer

The new Alameda street lS-inch
sewer, was commenced on Thursday, by
Joining tho pipe below First street, and
working northward. The excavation
has been made to the south side Of the
Lankershim warehouse, but the pipe
has only been laid short distance yet.
1t is proposed to construct this new and
substantial sewer, slowly, so that it will
never be in the condi ion that the old
IA inch sewer is, adjoining on the east
side. This was found 10 be cracked and
in very bad condition, and the Conncil
at once ordered the construction of this
new sewer, which will have the same
terminus on San Fernando street, that
the present sewer has. After this one
is finished, the new pipe will be laid
south to Fourth street, after which all
the branch sewers will join it, and enter
the main sewer, which carries sewage
below the city. An excellent order in
connection with this sewer, is that all
east and west streets east OF Alameda
street, will connect with it. There never
was any connection with the present one,
because it was imperfect and too small.
