FOR AND AGAINST.

The Beard OF Election Commissioners
may have imagined that the determination
Of the question whether the Non-Partisan
organization should be allowed a party des-
ign alton on the official ticket rested with
them. But ii is already apparent that the
vote in the board was a mere formality.
The law Of the case is now being set forth
liz the daily papers, and without doubt
judicial decision will be invoked. Ex-JuS-
tice Cuuey took the ground entirely away
from the Election Commission on Thurs
day, and Charles j. Swift showed the next
day why the law should be construed as
Justice Currey Construed it. Mr.. Swift
tersely says: "a constitution that does not
permit heading to the Non Partisans on
the official ballot abridges the rights Of the
electors who wish to vote for the candidates
of that party. 1t is plain that
the action Of the Election Commissioners
in Withholding heading from the Nom
Partisan party is intended TO place them at
disadvantage"
the action Of the Election Commission
was taken with the admission that the law
was not clear on that point; that while 1t
did not declare that a ticket nominated by
petitions should be entitled to a heading, ii
did not declare on the other hand that it
should not. Mr.. Swift quotes two maxims
Of Jurisprudence which throw light on this
point One is that 1.-THE law respects form
less than substance; another. that IAN

NATURAL TRADE AREA.

The Record Union says: I'VE have re-
as natural trade area for any commercial
CENTER" Under the rule Of the Southern
Pacific there would not be IL the public
submitted TO its exactions There is no
area that may not be taken from CONNER
cial center by system Of determinations
on the part OF common carriers II the pso-
pie do not defend themselves. When trans
portation companies carry freight from one
point 800 miles for the same charge they
make against a competing point for 200
miles, the commercial center Disseminated
against will have no trade area unless 1t
takes cares Of itself. 1t has no advantages
which artificial conditions may not over
come. The natural trade area of CON-
mercial center extends as far In any direc-
ton as. in the absence Of discrimination. it
can compete successfully with any other
commercial center. IL there were an i'm
passible barrier across the Golden Gate San
Francisco would have no natural trade
area. That is there would be no area of
territory that could be supplied more
cheapl ~ from San Francisco than from some
other distributing point. But as there Is DO
impossible barrier across the Golden Gate
San Franchises natural trade area is the
territory it can supply with goods received
by water routes at more favorable rates than
other distributing points can afford. There

THREE TIcKETs IN THE FIELD.

The Chronicle is quite certain that the
Third-street firm has nominated only good
men on the local ticket. Boss Kelly is I'M
derstood to entei tain a like opinion. AS
there is not name on the ticket he did not
put on it would be strange If he were not
satisfied. Turning to the Democrats wa
find the Examiner fairly well satisfied with
the Sullivan-Dwyer ticket. So it is pre-
sumed are Sullivan and Dryer. The Dem
oeraiic bosses were quite as despotic as the
Republican bosses. One trouble with the
nominees on these two tickets is that they
cannot be better than the men that give
them nominations. They are put on their
respective tickets for purpose. The heads
of departments will preside over a service
that will be controlled by Kelly on the one
side and Sullivan on the other. The bosses
will fill the departments with their strikers
and take part of the salaries of the COM
paratively few men who will be put in to do
the work. II either the Kelly Board Of Su-
pervisors should be elected or the Sullivan
board they will be expected to receive in-
structions from that one OF the bosses to
whom they owe their nomination. That is
what they are nominated for. The Republi-
can Legislative ticket is understood to have
YOung's absurd desire to be Senator. The
Southern Pacific Company appears TO have
concluded that De Young viii answer its
purpose. and that 1t is better to let him have
the Office in the event of Republican Leg
islature than to risk antagonism. No Re-
publican is likely, therefore, to vote the
Third-street Legislative ticket who would
not vote for DE Young ii the Office of United
States Senator were subject TO election by
the people.
Against the two tickets presented by Kelly
and Sullivan is that nominated by the Nom
Partisan. There was no boss in this con-
vention TO direct who should be nominated.
No man was put in the convention except
as the choice Of majority Of the delegates
composing the convention. Before making
nominations the convention bound its men,
bers not to ask favors for themselves or
friends al the hands of officials who might
be elected on the ticket. If the Non-PaItisan
Board Of Supervisors is elected it will
have no excuse for any failure to act for
the people. There will be no boss behind
them reminding them of ante-elscton prom
ises. THE CALL believes that this Non
Partisan ticket holds cut to the people Of
this city the best chance they have had in
many years to secure an honest and capable
municipal government. We have assumed
all along that il such an opportunity was
offered the voters they would eagerly seize
it, We may add that at the present time
there are both Republicans and Democrats
In the city who predict that the Non-Partisan
ticket will receive more votes in November
than the TWO old parties tickets combined.

the south, bat neither could reach to our
doors unless by neglect to use the advantages
nature has given US. The area which we
could supply ON terms more favorable TO
consumers than other distributing points
would be our natural trade area. San Fran
cisco has lost trade area by negecting to
use IFS natural advantages. Il has permitted
the Southern Pacific Company to do all our
hauling from the East at its own price. 1t
has permitted that company TO bride steam
ship companies to keep freight rates up to
the railroad standard. 1t has even per-
mitted the Southern Pacific Company to
threaten San Francisco merchants with a
refusal to haul such goods as merchants
might want to ship by rail unless all its
shipments were made through the company.
The present movement in San Francisco is
to reassert our rights. Oar merchants pro-
pose to get goods from the East by the
cheapest route and to distribute them over
as wide an area as possible. They consider
that territory natural area which they can
supply on better terms to consumers than
the merchants of any other distributing
