MEETING AT WHICH THE HEAD OF THE
oNosrIc socrKrr WAS LrKESEp TO A BAr-Ax
EFFORT TO SUPPRESS THE REBELLION AGAINST
MME. BL.AvArsKY's AUrHoRIrY
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-09

IT is very much to be regretted tina
the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles
is not salaried body, and it is highly
desirable that it should sit, if not con
stantly, at least six months in the year
AS the law stands now, we believe that
it is not possible for Supervisor to draw
more than IS day for his services or tc
receive more than $50 in a single month
from this per diem. As a natural conse
quence, he is subject to two temptations
viz, firstly, to neglect his duties; and
secondly, to engage in corrupt transac-
tions, involving the sacrificing OF the in
terests Of the taxpayer. 1t would have
been great thing for this county in the
past if its members had sat straight
along as a Board of Equalization, even
though they had received a salary
of $3.50 month. In that event
County Assessor Mason would prob
ably not have been allowed to make
the assessed value OF the county over
forty per cent. of that of the city and
county Of San Francisco, although in the
latter the pirated wealth of the State and
of the coast has been stored for the past
forty years. If we had paid the mem.
bers Of the Board literally, We should
have been out of pocket some ten thous-
and dollars year more than we have
paid them but then, as compensation,
We should probably have saved
at least 100000 out of the large
sam we shall be obliged to
to send to Sacramento, in few weeks,
as the contribution of Los Angeles Coun-
ty to the State Treasury. In other
words, we should have thrown out
sprat to catch whale. A properly sala.
ried Board of Supervisors would be an
excellent thing, and we hope the Legis-
lature will give US this boon. 1t is one
of the demands of the hour.

Orange Culture.

Mr.. Garnsey, who lives on West
Washington street, called at the HERALD
Office yesterday, bearing in his hand four
as fine oranges as ever grew. They
came from trees in his garden on Wash.
ington street. They are of the Bahia
or Washington Navel variety, and Of
such size as go one hundred and
twenty-five to o, hundred and fifty in a
box. This fruit is beautifully clean,
bright, of high color, and free from all
scale pests. The district Immediately
around where these oranges grew is
alive with white scale, vet on these trees
there is not sign of one. No wash has
ever been used on the trees, and no scale
has ever appeared to call for such an ap-
pllcation. Mr.. Garnsey's method ol
keeping his trees clean is simple
enough, and he says it is univer.
sally efficient. He learned the secret
years ago in Florida. 1t is only to apply
literally stable manure at the base ol
the tree from time to time, and turn il
under with spade. The ammonia in the
manure is said to kill the scale of all
sorts. This car be easily tried. Ammonia
in more concentrated form might be ap
piled. Let all orchardists try it. Il
they can not apply the pure ammonia, lei
them at least make use of the stable
ofal. Surely there ia incentive enough
to do this. Mr.. Garnsey has twenty six
trees on his place. They are only -four
years planted, yet each tree has at least
two boxes of fruit on it now. The
oranges are fine in size and
color and will sell for 81 a
box. Twenty-six trees is about
a quarter of an acre. At $8 tree this
little patch will yield 5000 worth of fruit,
or at the rate of $500 an acre. This may
sound like fable to the uninitiated, but
it is absolute fact. Mr.. Garnsey was for
years in the fruit trade in New York.
For three different seasons he visited
the Florida orange grove to buy fruit, and
each year for one five-acre orchard near
Sanford he offered $4,000 for the orange
crop. Each year he failed to eecure the
fruit for the reason that some one else bid
higher. These facts all coincide with the
views in which the HERALD perseveres.
Small orchards with great care will pro-
duce prodigious returns in orange grow

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.

AmCe.

SAN Francisco, January Sat meet
ing of the Executive Committee of the
State Board of Trade this afternoon
resolution was adopted instructing the
General Manager to communicate with
the State Board of Agriculture and ascer-
tain the intentions of that body in regard
to the holding of State exhibition of
citrus fruits.
General Manager Brown reported that
the travelling exhibition of California
products, now IN Minnesota, has been
enthusiastically received.
A communication was read from the
Oakland Board of Trade suggesting that
legislative aid for the State Board be
asked. The matter was referred back to
the Oakland Board with the State
Boards Endorsement.
Several members of the Federated
Trades we're introduced and the Chair
man of the delegation stated that he and
his colleagues had come in consequence
of certain reports that the repeal of the
Exclusion act was desired, and that there
was not enough white labor in the State
to supply the demand. The delegation
opposed this view. A general discussion
Of the subject followed, the Federated
Trades representatives stating that en-
ployment agents declared that there was
no order for white labor now which could
not be filed. The COMMITTEES adjourned
without taking definite action.

in Southern California, and notably in
Les Angeles county, at ten per
cent. net on security just as good as
twenty dollar pieces. With the op.
portunities which exist here OF turning
the nimble dollar, our people can afford
to pay such high usance. At this
stage comes in the mortgage tax, and it
makes the burden OF the borrower most
onerous.
All intelligent communities encourage
the influx of money from abroad. and
only Bnotian peoples repel it. If vote
could be had tomorrow on an amend
ment to the Constitution of California
repeating the mortgage tax, it would be
carried overwhelmingly. Such vote
would be a ballot in favor of progress
and prosperity. Our people want free
money and plenty of it. In State n
which dollar fructifes SO rapidly as
here it is a downright shame to have
laws repressive of the free movement of
money which smack of the clumsy ignor-
ance of the Middle Ages. We need
capital too much to stand over it with q
bludgeon and to take toll Of it the very
moment it makes its appearance. We
ought to give it cordial welcome and put
it where it will do the most good.
We take heart of grace and venture to
predict that the mortgage tax is doomed.
Coincidently with its disappearance will
be chronicled an influx OF Eastern capi-
tai never experienced in this State be-
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-09

THE HERALD's suggestion that the law
should be 80 amended that the pay
ment of the city and county taxes should
be separated by period of six months,
meets the hearty approval OF the Los
Angeles taxpayers. There is, besides, a
strong feeling that it would be an ex-
cellent thing to make the payment OF
taxes quarterly. This plan would have
the advantage of not making too great a
strain on the purse-strings of the citizen,
and of not locking up so much money
from circulation-both capital ideas.
This salutary change ough. to be made
by the Legislature at once.

Away With the Mortgage Tax.

The HERALD is pleased to see that the
sentiment in favor of repeating the mort
gage tag is growing very steadily, the
press quite generally favoring an amend.
ment to the Constitution of California
permitting its repeal. This journal can
claim the credit of starting the move
ment. This tax undoubtedly operates
so as to- ocurtail the introduction of capital
into this State. In region in which
foreign capital is so desirable as Califor-
MIA there ought not to be such an impe-
dlment to people of means investing
their money. There are in this State a
hundred enterprises needing the stimulus
of capital which would be most re muner.

edness. All communities noted for
growth and development welcome instead
OF repulsing money. Southern California
just now is a most inviting field to the
lender on account of the high rates of
interest which prevail here. The capital.
ist OF New York and other Eastern cities
is content with return of from three to
five per cent, on his spare cash. In
accepting these low rates of interest he is
influenced by the stable nature of the
security. The moment these people
should be made to understand that ten

annum could be had here on a security

A TELEGRAM has been received in this
city setting forth the fact that an agent
has actually left Philadelphia, bearing
with him the form of contract which tie
hotel syndicate wishes to have signed in
order that they may proceed at once
with the erection OF the great Main and
Tenth-street Hotel. The papers of this
city yesterday published telegram to
the effect that ITO rooms in the Coronado
Hotel have been reserved for the use of
a body of capitalists on the way out to
spend several weeks in this section.
Were there no hotel like the Coronado
for these people to come to, they would
not come at all. They will not go any
where unless they can find all the
comforts and luxuries they ex-
pect. Had the Main and Tenth
Street Hotel been built, these people
would have come to Los Angeles. When
such a carava nsary is opened here many
such parties will find their way to this
city. Now we do not know what the
nature of the contract is which this COM
missioner bears, but certainly no narrow
policy ought to stand in the way of secur-
ing the hotel. If it were demanded of
our citizens that the great hostelry be
completed and turned over gratis, it
would be well worth the while of the
city to meet even this proposition and
do all asked. Until we have an abso-
lutely first-class hotel-frst- t-class in all
respects-we will miss the cream of the
tourist travel.
