IT is not at all surprising that the new
Chilean Government refuses to pay for
the cost of pursuing the Itata, and OF
bringing her back to California. Yet our
Government is certainly justified in ask
ing payment as condition precedent to
the discharge of the vessel. She was at
the time of her departure from San
Diego without clearance papers, the ship
of an unrecognized party; the United
States could look only to the fact of her
offense. That she should pay the fine for
it, is reasonable. But it is said that she
took arms to the rebels fighting against a
power with which we were at peace.
Whether the arms were taken within or
without the jurisdictional limit is not yet
officially determined. If for that we pur-
sued and hold her, and if for the con-
sequent expense in that matter we
now ask the Chilean Government to pay,
we must expect it to enter a protest.
There is good deal of strength in the re-
PAy thoV w pay a pOud1Iy WOuAu DS dIl
admission that the Government de facto
cannot afford to make, since it has claimed
the pursuit of the Itata to have been ille-
gal. Yet, if we had the right to capture
the Itata, then by the Government in ex-
istence in Chile and seated, we have the
right to be made whole in the matter OF
expense. Clearly this is question with
two strong sides, and one that is not to
be decided off-hand. The thought occurs
that the expense bill being small, rather
than to cultivate unfriendly relations
with Chile the United States can we'll
afford to pocket the loss. What it did
was done in defense of the neutrality
laws, and in the keeping of our obliga-
tions with treaty power as well as in
maintenance of doctrine we advanced
at time when it was of vital importance
to US.

In raising the assessment of San Fran
Cisco 80 per cent. the Board of Equaliza-
ton attempted to punish the capitalists
who have been hiding their property,
but its action will not have that result.
The poor man, with his little homestead
and small amount of personal property,
which had already been fully assessed, is
the one who suffers. He is compelled to
pay taxes on 30 per cent. more property
than he owns, while the capitalist who
had only given in 20 per cent. of his prop
erty. still only has to pay on one-half of
its true value, and besides gets the benefit
of the reduction in the rate. 1t is evident
that the present system of equalization is
failure, and the fundamental law on the
subject ought to be amended

certain city was so situated that IT
could be entirely flooded and destroyed
by water. In that city dwelt many good,
honest and law-abiding citizens, but there
were few rich people who were dishon-
est and who did not obey the laws. So
the ruler of the country decided he would
punish these wicked people, and he
turned loose the waters upon the city
Then he discovered that all these rich
and wicked people owned boats and they
sailed away in safety, while the poor but
honest people were drowned. The State
