ANOTHER SAN FRANCISCO COM
PLANT.

The San Francisco Bulletin and Call
have another grievance to voice for San
Francisco, in illustration Of the tyrannous
character those journals seek to attach
TO the railway transportation system Of
the State. In brief, it amounts to this,
that Los Angeles enjoys the advantages
of her relation to a seaport, and can,
therefore, sell goods in Bakersfield
cheaper than can San Francisco, which
claims that valley town to be within her
natural trade area; that is to say, her
prey.
We have repeatedly shown that there
is no such thing as a natural trade area
for any commercial center. Consumers
are privileged to buy where they can buy
to best advantage, and that city has the
best right to sell to any class of con-
sumers that can best serve them. But
there is no fixed and unalterable right
vested in any depot of supply to exclus-
lively serve any consumer.
This latest complaint of San Francisco,
which the Bulletin prefers with quin-
tuple headlines and flaming type, is that
nails are sold by Los Angeles merchants
IN Bakersfield for less than San Fran
cisco merchants can offer them. This,
because nails can be shipped by sea and
delivered in Los Angeles for 25 cents per
I00pounds; the rail transportation thence
to Bakersfield, 16S miles, costing so cents,
the total thus being 81 05 for 100 pounds
of nails carried. The cost by rail direct
from San Francisco for carrying 100
pounds of nails to Bakersfield, 314 miles,
is 81 20.
That is to say, nails are carried from
Los Angeles to Bakersfield, which Los
Angeles merchants may or may not have
purchased in San Francisco, or st. Louis
or Chicago, for a little over AZ cents
pound, while the same kind of goods are
carried almost twice the distance from
San Francisco to the same point for a
little over .3S cents pound. But the
haul between Los Angeles and Bakers
fieldeis over long, steep grade, and for a
long distance over road locally proftless
and difficult of maintenance.
However, so far from San Francisco
having any complaint that she is dis
eliminated against, the truth is that Los
Angeles has far greater reason to claim
Bakersfield to be within her natural"
trade area, and that she should not for
any competitive or other reason be de-
prived of the monopoly of selling goods
to Bakersfield.
What the whole matter of the BulEeti7e'S
complaint amounts to, therefore, is this,
that San Francisco protests against the
advantage Los Angeles enjoys by reason
of her relation to aseaport. The railroad
really cut no figure in the case. 1t gives
to San Francisco an equitable rate to
Bakersfield, which is not related to a sea-
port, or to any competitive condition.
Los Angeles is a competitor with San
Francisco for the trade of Bakersfield,
and that is the sum and substance of the
whole matter. That San Francisco de-
Inands that railway carriers shall give her
equal standing with Los Angeles in the
Bakersfield trade is clear, notwithstand-
ing the fact that that town is nearly twice
from its commercial rival Los Angeles.

invoke authority for the seizure of sup
plies at fair prices, but it may come to
that if dealers insist upon such outrage
ously high rates. AS it is, they now make
about 1l5 per cent. profit, and as the de-
mand augments the prices will probably
be still further advanced. Should the
cholera become very virulent in this
country this high price business may
very seriously affect sanitary conditions
and add to the sum of human misery and
of death, and when the public realize
that it may have consequences that viii
not be fiattering to our credit as a law
abiding people.
The record-union., 1892-09-19

TT is perhaps natural that in the gen
eral clean up now going on disinfectants
and germicides should have risen in price.
Sudden heavy demands upon limited
supplies always causes an advance in
prices. But that in San Francisco the
rates should have jumped up 100 per
cent. in few days all around, as the
Chronicle of that city asserts, is out of all
reason. 1t means that the owners of the
supply have cornered the public and pro-
pose to sweat them. The advance is SO
great that it will debar the poor, to con-
siderable extent, from using these purify
ing agents as freely as they ought to and
thus complete disinfection of thickly
settled parts may not be effected. Of
course, no way is seen for avoidance of
this sxtortion; it is not possible now to

WE are never surprised when our
evening contemporary the Bee attempts
to be witty, since that is the province of
a newspaper, with which no other than
itself is concerned. But there are times
when it's intellectual attempts cause gray
matter to curdle and the brain to reel, and
these out of common compassion must be
given some attention. We cannot find
it in our heart to pass on without extend
ing our sympathy and coincidence to our
neighbor when it really suffers and needs
human commiseration. When, there
fore, it editorially advises the public that
it has discovered an invaluable means of
preventing the cholera, and that this
consists in the simple observance of the
monition "don't catch it," our emotion is
divided between lively sympathy for our
neighbor for it's labor pains in giving
brain-birth to the discovery, and in
admiration for its heroic self-sacrifice in
refusing to keep it a close monopoly by
patent right.

IF we are to Judge by the expressions of
the press of the State, the mere fact that the
Trustees have ordered an election to de-
termine the issuance Of bonds to improve
our levee defenses, has benefited the
city. On all sides the action of the Trus-
tees is commended and confidence is ex-
pressed in a people who have the cour-
age to confess that they need to defend
against assault and the resolution to meet
and defeat it. Actually city credit has
been improved by the mere ordering of
the election. What splendid tribute it
would be by our people to the city of
their homes; what magnificent express
sion Of confidence it would be, if every
vote at the approaching election should
be affirmative. However, we can scarcely
expect that, for the order of retrogession-
lists is never extinct We do expect, how
ever, such an overwhelmingly large af1ir-
native vote that it will not be worth while
to mention the negative.
