Queer Leyisiati1n

The legislative halls of State OF Nation
are, of course, the places where dema-
gogues might we'll be successfully sought
for. The American people are said to
dearly delight in being humbugged, and
politics affords just the arena to do this
finely. The wage winner is too often se-
lected as the victim of this operation,
and the latest case to come to the surface
is bill introduced in the State Senate
the other day. 1t is bill "to provide
for the safety of persons against danger
from machinery" etc., etc. Here are a
few of the provisions of the proposed
law:
No machinery, other than steam engines, in
factory or building shall be cleaned while
running.
The openings of all hatchways, elevators, and
well-holes upon every floor of factories, work
shops mercantile or other buildings yhere per-
sons are employed or doing business, shall be
protected by good, kufiicien trap,doors or self
closing matches and safety catches. or such
other safeguards as the Commissioner of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics or his duly author
lied representative shall direct.
In every manufacturing establishment where
machinery is used, communication shall be
provided between each room where such ma
chinery is placed, and the room where the en-.
giueer or person operating said machinery is
BELLS or such other means as shall be Sdtisfdc-
tory tc the Commissioner Of Ike Bureau Of Labor
Statistics or his duly authorized representative.
The doors of all workshops or factories in
which twenty or more operatives are employed
must open outwardiy, if the Commissioner of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics or his duly au-
thorized representative shall so direct.
1t shall be the duty of the Commissioner of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics or his duly au-
thorjzed representative to enforce the pro-
visions of this act.
When this bill came up for passage
Senator White, Of Los Angeles voted no,
and explained why he did so in these
pertinent words:
vote against the bill because 1t seeks to con-
fer upon whoever may be Labor Commissioner
the power, without hearing or legal trial, to
condemn and thereby destroy the use of prop
erty, and makes it criminal to decline Obedi-
ence to the order of such Commissioner, who is
knowledge of the subject upon which he is
called upon to give final judgment.
The sympathy Of all people whose
mind is properly balanced goes out to
the laborer in his hard toll for liveli-
hood, and for his helpless wife and
family who would be left destitute by the
death or disability of the bread-winner.
But such Legislation as that proposed in
this bill Injuries no one SO much as the
laborer, for it renders enterprise i'm.
possible, and therefore closes all avenues
of gaining livelihood. The demagogue
does not deceive the voter as often as he
imagines he does.

once wore the Roads.

The HERALD has taken the trouble to
look into the matter of road taxes for
several years past, in order to ascertain
just what has been expended for that
purpose. Four years is pretty fair
period to take. In 1885 and 1886 Mr..
Bilderrain was Assessor. His valuations
for these years, respectively, were in round
numbers, $32, 100000 and $40, 800, 900.
The rates for road purposes in these years
were twenty-five and twenty cents on the
500. About forty-five per cent. OF the
total levy pays taxes for road purposes,
and, therefore, for this the sums raised
in these years was nearly $4,000.
Previous to these years the sum
raised for road purposes had not
been half that amount. In 1887 and 1888
Mr.. Mason's assessments were nearly
500, 900 900, and over $lO0, 100000. The
rates were twenty-five cents on the
800, and twenty cents on the 500.
The gross sum for these two years for
road purposes was nearly the same
amount, or nearly 100000. There are
expenditures carried over from one year
to another, of course; but these sums
will be fourd in the main to balan ce
each other. Then there is one more
source of revenue for road purposes
which the HERALD has not hitherto dwell
upon. That is the poll tax paid by those
who live outside OF corporate towns. 1t is
$3.50 a year for each adult
male, and, from the population of the
county, at present amounts to about
SAC, 900 year. Formerly this did no
come to half that sum. Here is nearly
$3.50, 1000 year collected for the purposes
OF road-making, yet the highways of the
county are living disgrace to all of US
No one yet has answered the HERALD'l
question as to where all this money goe'
to. Attempts to explain it have beer
made. One reached this office yesterday
couched in the vulgar language of {
scurrilous blackguard. 1t came from
Fruitland, and bore the signature
of fellow named Bell. Blu
that. answer did not cover th'
questions of the HERALD. The HERALl
has had nothing to say about this fel
low Bell, nor about any of his kith o
kin. 1t han stated, on the authority q
the people of that district, and of it
commissioner, that the roads there wer
bad, very bad. We believe they are bad
very bad. They ought to be good
There is money enough levied to max
them good. Why are they not good
Good roads are a necessity of this sec
ton at this time. We pay taxes enougl
to have good roads. That is all the in
terest We have in the matter. 1t is tn
interest of the public, and we propose
keep up this agitation until we find VIII
it is that we expend 100000 a year t
get the worst roads in the Union, whel
we ought to have the best.

A Dangerous Woman Let Loose.

CHICAGO, January 30.-Mrs. Meckie
Rawson, wife of the millionaire banker,
who in open court shot her husbands
lawyer, was acquitted in short order to-
night when the case went to the jury,
the verdict being that she was tempo
rarily insane at the time the deed was
committed. Mrs. Rawson was at once
formally discharged, and received the
congratulations of many friends.
The jurymen came in for
their share of the thanks. Sud-
denly Mrs. Rawson's eye lit on State
Attorney Elliott, who had been especially
bitter in his speeches during the trial.
"How much did Rawson pay you ?" she
asked him. The States Attorney laughed
and said nothing. Mrs. Rawson said it
was not the last he had heard Of her; she
would hold him responsible for the
shameful abuse he had heaped upon her.
Friends interfered and led her away.

Our correspondent at the State Capital
writes, in letter which appears in the
HERALD this morning, that the bills
hacking this county in pieces are not
likely to pass, and that their authors are
in gloomy mood regarding them. 1t
will not be we'll to trust too much to this
phase of the matter. Let us not be
lulled into false security in regard tc
the question. The friends of division
may pretend despair so as to put theil
enemies to sleep. The friends of the

As special pleader Prince Bismarck
may reasonably claim that he is entitled
to 60 up head. In his letter to the Ger
man Minister at Washington, a
translation of which was submitted
by the President to Congress, and which
appears elsewhere, he represents himself
as being only interested in maintaining
the rights of German subjects and as
seeking vengeance for the Germans who
were killed and wounded by the murder
ous Samoans, who have an unaccountable
objection to the deportation of their
rightful King and the practical occupa-
tion of their country by Germany. Per
contra, Capt. Mullan, of the United
States war vessel, the Nipsic,
takes a different view of matters
and things in Samoan waters, and
gives his personal guarantee that
the Germans fred on boat carrying the
American flag. Capt. Mullan seems to
be typical Jack Tar, of the kind who
would have been dear to the hearts of
Lord Nelson and Commodore Perry, for
he announces it to be his purpose, on the
slightest repetition of the outrages on
American lives and property, to land q
force to protect both. He calls for ad-
ditional vessels to be sent to Apia, and
he has all the airs of man who will
make his diplomacy short. sharp and
decisive. The pinching point will
be shortly reached in this embroglio,
and we notice that some of our San
Francisco contemporaries are busily
engaged in speculating upon the
chances of the Golden Gate escaping a
bombardmentfrom the German navy. San
Pedro and San Diego, to say nothing of
Redondo Beach and Santa Monica, might
As we'll start in to take stock of the situa-
tion. On their way up the coast the
German vessels of war, charged with the
demolition of San Francisco, might stop
to throw in few shells at those promis-
ing ports. However, the German navy
is quite small, and it probably is not
scattered along the Pacific to an extent
TO cause serious present alarm. AS
matter of precaution, though, it might
perhaps be well to take steps to convert
Capt. Banning's new and handsome
steamer into an armed cruiser. The gal

plans

BorH Senators Dolph and Reagan in
dulged in some real war talk in the
United States Senate yesterday. Mr..
Reagan struck a chord which will be
responded to all over the United States
when he said that even war would be
preferable to the degradation of the
American name. The present discus
sion will unquestionably have the result
of stimulating the United States in in
creasing its naval armaments.o Admiral
Porter, in late article in the North
american Reuiesc, says that the American
navy is apt to advance at more rapid
rate than our facilities to provide ord
nance of the modern standard. About a
year ago another distinguished officer
of the United States Navy contrib
uted carefully considered article
to the same magazine in which he as
serted that it would take five years to
construct the plant needed to turn out
the ordnance now entering into the
equipment of the leading iron-clads of
the world. So much talk about war has
lately been fashionable that the people
of New York and other Eastern seaport
towns must have taken seriously to con-
sidering the advisability Of moving their
money-bags into the interior. The
wretched old guns which guard the Mar.
rows would afford very scant protection
against even German fleet. But, even
at the best, war is never pleasant, and
the heavily mort gagged people of the West
might endure scare in Wall street with
some equanimity.

Does Fruit.Growing Pay.

Captain L. L. Adams, OF TuStin, tells
us that if the fruit-growers Of Southern
California would give three-fourths Of
the attention TO their orchards that the
Eastern farmers do to their grain fields
and then economic in managing their
properties, the aggregate Of profits from
fruit culture would be unparalleled in the
whole world. The Captain has had a
crop of English walnuts for four ears
from his fcrty trees, and says he has
never sold any crop for less than $475.
He recently sold his last crop of the wal
nuts for exactly $531. He watches his
trees as carefully as a merchant would
his ledgers; he knows all about them
in fact he makes thorough business OF
fruit culture. The average proceeds
from each walnut tree on his place this
season has been 1927. The crop was
not very good one either.
Besides his walnut trees, he has l ZOO
Navel orange trees, which he looks after
with unusual care, and last week he was
given standing offer, for two weeks, OF
s., ,280 for the crop on the trees. He
| sold last years crop for So 900 cash down
| without picking an orange himself. He
has also four acres of prune trees that
have borne for three years. Last Sep.
tember he sold the whole crop for 1896.
He will plant more walnut and orange
trees this season. He has spent but
$130 for labor during the past twelve
months.
| Now here is still another practical
illustration OF what twenty-acre farm
in Southern California in this locality
will do under the management Of
an efficient, wide-awake man. We
venture the statement that no land.
owner or farmer or hortculturist east Of
the Rocky Mountains has made such
profits from the soil of 20 acre piece Of
property at any time since the war. And
yet there are some people who will sit
about the grocery steps or whittle ur
dry-goods boxes for hours at time, and
dolefully tell you that there is no money
in fruit culture in Southern California
We insist that there is if the orchardisl
attends to his business. .-[Pomona
