where needed and most convenient in
the precinct, and will meet the exact de-
mands of the law and defeat its enemies
utterly.
Any gang foolhardy enough to crush in
such portable booth and destroy the bal
lot-box can more easily do such deed
if the booth is in a room where but few
can enter.
The law carefully avoids saying that
the voting shall be in room it simply
says polling ''place' shall be designated
and that the stalls or compartments shall
be so built as to screen the voter from
observation of others while marking his
ballot, and that there shall be guard
rail six feet from the stalls and the ballot
box, and that neither of the latter shall
be hidden from the view of the people
outside of the rail. That is albany car
penter can in five minutes draw the plan
of the booth with only Section 1903 before
him, and in five minutes more can name
the cost of construction. With such
booths, manned by efficient Election
Boards, the bosses cannot "bcat' the law.

DEBATING" THE LAW.

An evening contemporary has an
nounced that it has information that the
politicians who oppose the ballot reform
declare that they have evolved plan to
beat the new election law, but that they
discreetly decline to reveal it.
The RECORD UNION has known and
said from the beginning that the bosses
would stop at nothing to make the law
imperative; their enmity, too, is proof
sufficient that it is q wise law. We do
not believe that the Trustees and Auditor
viii be parties to any schemes, however,
to aid the bosses. We believe the officers
10 be sincere, but if they locate the poll
ng-places in rooms, except they are
very large, will unwittingly play into the
hands of the enemies of the law. For
only in one or two places can large rooms
be had. All others will be small with
probably a single and narrow door. This
will enable tho schemers to block the
way as they used to clog the passage TO
the voting window and even prevent
anyone but their chosen agents from
reaching the polls.
The right thing to do is to build cheap
portable open-air booths. Thus there
can be what the law contemplates, full
opportunity for the public outside of the
guardrail to freely observe the whole in
terror of the booth.
AS the ballot-box must be six feet from
the guard-rail, and the four shelf-com-
partments may be directly back of the
judges table, it will be seen that booths
of cleated rough board walls of twelve
feet each, three hooking together, the
fourth side open, save for the guard rail,
viii be cheaper than renting rooms and
building shelf compartments inside OF
them.
Such outdoor booths can, as we have
repeatedly pointed out, be stored and
used for years; they can he located just

w HEN the SJalG BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
added sos, COO, 600 to the assessment roll of
San Francisco we were disposed to think
that an injustice had been done that city.
The location of the Postoffice site, and
the disclosures incidental thereto, have
convinced us that the State Board of
Equalization did San Francisco no in
Justice. There were some eight or ten
localities competing for the Postoffice
location. It was inevitable that which
ever was accepted the others would raise
combined howl. We think it fairly
well established that the price paid for
the lot at the corner of Seventh and Mis-
sion streets was not too much. The
price was sought to be impeached by an
appeal to the assessment roll. It was
proven that the Sl,040,000 worth of
property was assessed at less than $3.50
900. The Bulletin at once declared that
the price of the property was too high
because of the disparity between its sell
ing and assessed value. The successful
syndicate Immediately proceeded to
prove that the relation between the
assessed and the selling value of the
property in other instances was about
the same as that disclosed in the trans
action relating to the corner of Seventh
and Mission.
Enough has been dug out Of this whole
situation to prove that San Francisco's IS
real estate is not assessed for an
amount exceeding thirty per cent. of its
selling price. Weare, therefore, disposed
to reconsider our first conclusion in this
matter. 1t is evident that the Auditor OF
San Francisco made perfectly one-sided
and false showing in his attempt to prove
the existence of wide disparity between
the assessed value. and real value of coun-
try property.
The Bulletin, which devotes much of its
space, time and talk 10 the question OF
streets, walks and improvements in the
city of San Francisco, was thrown into
spasms at the idea that the assessment
roll of that city should be raised. The
Bulletin believes with the Chronicle that
the interests of San Francisco are not
identical with those of the country. II
! assumed from the very outset, before the
slightest evidence was adduced, that the
| increased assessment by the State Board
of Equalization was wrong. OF course II
| was wrong. 1t touched San Francisco
| 1t increased an assessment upon the city
| If it had been right, the Bulletin would
| have denounced it, for the Bulletin has
not even an intelligent perception Of the
! State at large. 1t knows nothing beyond
the boundaries of the city. 1t is fortunate
however, that citizens of San Francisco
! in self-defense, have eventually to confess
| the truth-that the assessed value of prop
! erty in San Francisco is from thirty tc
forty per cent. of its actual selling value
The record-union., 1891-10-27
WHY RENT PoLLING-PLACEss

The officials who must prepare the
voting booths for the city election are
talking about renting rooms for voting
places.
That is error. Why pay rent for rooms
and then as much more to fit them up to
meet the requirements of the law? Why
not provide for outdoor booths as is done
in Ohio and Indiana? In that case two
simple rough board walls that hook TO
cross pieces are set up against house
wall; sloping cover excludes sun or
rain; the whole front is open, only "a
guard rail'' is across it, and two gates.
These walls, say they form room 12xl2
feet, can be unlocked and stored for use
at the next election, and the next, and so
on, just as political parties do with their
campaign rostrums. But what is paid
for rental of large rooms is uneconomic,
and a small room tends to defeat the law.
We have in Sacramento a scaffold on
which criminals have been hanged from
year TO year since 1873, the same boards
doing duty each time; cannot as simple
economy be practiced for voting?
Moreover, room will hold only few
people outside the guard rail-" and the
law says the whole booth shall be open to
view. The outdoor booth, twelve feet
wideandtwelve feet deep, will permithu
dreds to look into the booths as the law
contemplates; they are therefore best.
Let the officials use the money they
would spend for rental in making NOV
able booths, which will settle all diff
culties of location" and thereafter there
will be no expense for the polling places.
The officers who wish their administra-
ton to receive the approval of the peo-
pie will strive to make the law effective,
as they are sworn to do, and its operation
economic.

NOTHING IN COMMON.

The San Francisco Chronicle. the great
organ of the town of Little Peddlington,
otherwise known as San Francisco, in a
recent editorial declared that city and
country have nothing in common that
their interests are unlike and that no
amount of special pleading or artifcially
created expressions of sympathy and af-
fection can alter the fact. 1t declared
that the interests of San Francisco and
the country are not identical and that
they cannot be identified
San Francisco merchants are not Great
ors of commerce, and the best evidepce
that this is so is found in the statements
of the Chronicle. 'San Francisco must
work alone for the reason that her inter
country" is statement of live journal
of the coast. This is confession that
San Francisco's growth is at the expense
of the interior. The stupidity which
could have penned statement of
this kind could not have been
found outside OF San Francisco.
Nowhere else in the world would the
metropolis of a district confess through
its public journals that it had nothing in
common with the supporting territory.
Cities are necessarily the reservoirs OF
capital. The capital produced in a coun-
try is reservoired in a city which serves
1t as commercial basis. Unless the city
intends to rob the territory which sup
ports it, the interests of the city and the
territory are common. But in the ad-
missions of the Chronicle we find broad
confession that San Francisco cares
nothing for the growth Of the interior;
that San Francisco cares nothing for the
extent to which the interior may be op-
pressed by exorbitant freight rates;
that the city which owes its entire growth
to the development of the country sur
rounding it has no interest in common
with that country. The Chronicle de-
clares that tour interests are unlike and
that no amount of special pleading or
artificially created expressions of sym
pathy and affection can alter the fact"
To well-informed minds there is an
introactive relation between the metrop-
oils of district and the district itself
That introaction of interest produces
growth and prosperity in both without
wrong to either. This is true, however
only where merchants are found. When
therefore, it is confessed that San Fran
cisco has nothing in common with the in
terror, which supports it, key to the re-
tarded growth of California is found. Il
proves that the merchants of San Fran
cisco have no interest whatever in the
development of the country; it proves
that the capital accumulated at San Fran,
cisco is not in sympathy with the de
velopment of the interior which support:
it. Much of the tardiness of the growth
of the State, therefore, can be charged t.
the silurianism of its chief metropolitan
city and to the imbecility of such leading
journals as the Chronicle. That San Fran
cisco must work alone, for the reason
that her interests are not and cannot bt
identical with those of the country, is
representative and typical San Francisco
sentiment. The ChronicLe by this has
formulated San Francisco enterprise.
