WHAT CAN BE DONE.

The Taxpayers of this city are now cast
ing about for some means of resisting the
attack of the State Board of Equalization
upon their property. The Chronicle, which
Is as well satisfied with this way as another
to cinch the Taxpayers, declares in effect
that tile attack cannot be resisted. ''Who"
il asks, will undertake the formidable and
costly task of resisting the tax levy, even
with the unjust addition made TO ii by the
State BOard?' The poor man cannot afford
to, and the veteran bOOdler proceeds to
show that the rich man, whose property has
been assessed below its real value, eau
stand the increased assessment in view of
the slight reduction in the State levy The
Record Union approaches the subject in
more candid spirit Referring to the sug-
geslion OF The CALL, that as the Board
cannot raise individual assessments within
county, it can only raise the entire assess
ment when found below the average, the
Record Union says the Board has the in
heTent power to raise the totals of rolls in
order 10 compel local equalization. The
exercise Of the power our Sacramento con-
temporary recognizes the Board to possess is
simply the exercise of the power To punish.
Twenty thousand assessments may be found
to be fair, but if there are 100 that may be
considered too low the Board may add an
indefinite amount to the 10000 just assess
ments. The law never cOntemplates in
justice. 1t could never purposely empower
the State Board to add to the just assess
ments of 10000 property-holders as means
Of furnishing them for a failure on the part
of officials to perform their duty. If we ex-
anime the action Of the Board in the light
of the purpose OF its creation the recent
raise becomes a clear violation of the law
under which the Board is created. The
purpose of the constitutional provision
authorizing the creation of the Board was
beyond question to provide tribunal to
equalize assessments throughout the State
The necessity of such a tribunal is ap-
parent. AS tile State levy is the same for
each and all counties, if the property in one
county is assessed lower that in the average.
such county escapes paying its fair share of
the burdens of State Government. The
State Board shold examine the assessment
roll of each county, and when it finds one
that is assessed below the average 1t should
add TO the assessment. The Chronicle con-
tends that under the law the State Board
has properly the power to equalize assess

WHAT DOES MIR. HEARST WANT?

We presume the public generally under
stand the objects of the proprietor of the
Examiner in permitting the columns Of that
journal to be used to make seurrilous at
tacks upon those persons who believe they
can spend their money more advantageously
than in publishing advertisements in that
paper 1t is simply an effort to browbeat
business men into patronizing a journal
which they do not believe will essentially
benefit them. While the late Mr.. Hearst
was alive, money was furnished freely to
the young man who now has charge of it. to
run his paper. He did not lack means, so
far as the public could see. Mr.. Hearst
died leaving large fortune to his widow,
but none to the son, but it does not appear
as if the son was cramped for means, as he
can afford to own steam yacht which cost
fifty or one hundred thousand dollars. lie
also has means sufficient to lavish upon
persons who are not in every instance con-
sidered worthy. The attacks which are
made upon THE CALL by the Examiner we
can surmount, but we sometimes think that
young Mr.. Hearst allows his paper to be
used by man whom The CALL once dis
charged from its service for dereliction Of
duty. The latest case, which seems almost
like a wish to blackmail. is the attack upon
Mr.. Favin; and only a short time since
run was caused upon San Francisco saw
ings bank for a similar reason. If Mr..
Hearst has means sufficient to publish his
paper, why does he not do so in reputable
manner-not permit the scandalous stuff
which malicious hireling inditeS to appear
in print?

ONLY A BABY'S LAUGH.
But 1t Seemed to Make the Sun Shine o
That Foggy Morning.

But 1t Seemed to Make the Sun Shine on
That FOggy Morning.
1t was one of those muggy, SoIden morn
ings that the clerk of the weather seems 10
have delighted III dealing out to jewellers on
the bay OF late. The broad gauge boat had
been a little late, and it was a cross-lOOkiag,
down-haarted, fog-ridden lot of people th at
hurried for the SacramentO-street cable-car.
The car was soon filled. Everybody was out
OF scrts and felt crowded, whether he was
or not. The conductor looked forbidding;
the gripman was IL picture of sullrn discon-
tent, seen family through the fog bedImmed
windows. In fact every man felt as If his
neighbor had injured him, and every woman
knew her bang had Strengthened out to that
irremedIabe degree which Is the acme Of
unbecoMlngneSS.
In the midst OF this dismal assemblage
there suddenly burst from far corner OF
the car a peal Of laughter. Everybody
looked i'll that direction. There was
funny, dimpled, SHow-white, bald-headed
little human yeariIng, dancing in her meth
er's arms and laughing out as conIentedly
as if every body in the car was making
every effort to amuse her
1t was magical, the effect of that laugh.
Tie bilious looking man iii the opposite
corner laid down his paper and looked up
cheerfully. The dude next him took his
cane out OF his mouth and actually smiled.
The anxious lines fled from tue brow of the
maiden with the fallen bang. The MORN
ING CALLER was aroused from dreams Of
copy TO be evolved from the fog and at
once began thinking pleasant thoughts.
Each looked at his nelghbor in new light
aud seemed TO remember that they all were
once such tuddling mites and laughed even
as merrly, ere the cares of this world en-
folded them aud the fog crept into their
hearts. 1t was a touch of pure, wholesome
rs the passengers Il, ked at each other aud
smiled, a tiny blade OF sunlight came dart
Ing in at the window through rift in the
fog. The uptown business streets began to
be reached, but no one left the car that
morning without nOd and a smile for the
wee passenger vino had lightened the load
for every one of its fellow-traveers, and for
that one day at least had brought CLEAN

Murder.
The trial of DR.. Samuel Il. Hall, accused
OF the murder of Ida ShaddOck, was COM
menced yesterday morning before Judge
Murphy When the doctor was brought
into court he was affectionately greeted by
his young wife. who remained by his side
throughout the day, watching with intense
interest every step of the proceedings.
George A. Knight is defending the prisoner.
A conspicuous factor in the prosecution is
John McCarville. who was Miss Shaddock's
betr0thed, and whose interest in the trial is
not even second to the District Attorneys.
The impaneling Of the jury consumed the
entire DAY, resulting in the selection of the
following twelve men:
Alfred Bear, Edward Bare, Thomas j.
Ceary, NJ. Won Hagen, j. McMullen, j. j.

Replies to Attacks Made by the
Examiner and Report.

1 have heard men libeing their host with the
wine still dripping from their rascally lips.-Byron
Editor Morning Call: The open attacks
made directly against the undersigned
through the San Francisco Examiner and
Daily Evening Report (editorally) have,
perhaps, no parallel in the history of Jour-
nalism. 1t is not only a personal attack,
but an attack upon the standing and integ-
rity of a merchant who has been doing an
honorable business in this city for the past
twenty-one years; merchant who has sup
ported them; one who has put into circu-
latiOn not less than quarter of million of
dollars in advertising The outrage posi-
bly, has no parallel, as stated above in
Journalism. To reach apparently their own
end the papers referred 10 above hesitate at
nothing-not even the destruction Of mer-
chants credit who has been patron of
theirs for years. The Examiner people
have but to examine the columns of
their paper running back years, and they
will find our advertisements page after
page. We have advertised most extensively
in the San Francisco CALL and the Evening
Bulletin, and want to state right here that
we are more than fully satisfied with all ar
engagements made by them in the shape of
advertising, aud state further that 1t was
not cheap advertising, as stated by the
papers who make the attack upon the un-
dersigned. We will publish, If it is neces-
sary, the prices paid the Examiner and the
Evening Report fer square, and this will
prove positively that in advertising in the
San Francisco CALL and Bulletin it was not
a question of rates, but question of bene-
tit and circulation.
AS stated by the papers above mentioned,
they claim that our doors were closed be-
cause we advertised in The CALL. 1t is
hardly necessary to state that We have ad-
vertioed in The CALL, and that further
more we propose doing SO; for instead of
proving an Improbable business it has
proved a most profitable one. When we
commenced advertising in The MORNING
CALL our capital amounted to $3.50, and it
has increased until it now, our assets,
amount to 100000 That ends the matter
so far as THE CALL is concerned.

ments within county. But this work IS
clearly imposed upon County Boards. II
the authority to revise the work OF fifty
three County Boards were given to the State
Board, the magnitude of the work would
render revision imperfect The plain duty
of the State Board is to make such an ex-
animation and revision Of the assessment
rolls of the several counties as will ensure
equality between counties. Its assumption
of power TO raise 5000 assessments because
100 other assessments were found too low
should be tested in the courts.
