WORK FOR THE TRAFFIC AssOCI-
ALTON.

The cuts already announced in Southern
Pacific freight rates will not severely affect
the clipper lines, but the presumption is tn at
the Southern Pacific will not rest content
with reduction which is insufficient to re-
tain traffic. The Southern Pacific can better
afford to spend million or two in trans
porting goods from New York to San Fran
cisco below cost than to lose the traffic en-
tirely. With the probability of even lower
rates than those announced, tie Traffic AS
ISOLATION should see that arrangements ara
made to supply the clipper lines with freight
at living rates for period of years. There
need be no subsidy nor guarantee bond. The
owners Of the lines only want to know that
freight will not be diverted from their lines
by temporary lower rates by the Southern
Pacific Company. This demand is reason
able. No man Is expected to fight the bat
ties OF a community at his own expense.
Merchants can well afford to forego the OBJ
portuni.y to send freight below cost to in
sure themselves against the exorbitant
charges they have been forced to submit to.
II will not take the Southern Pacific Com
pany more than a couple of years to find
out that shipping freight at less than clipper
rates is a losing business.

EOUAI.iZATiON.

The taxpayers of this city are somewhat
disturbed over reports that the State Board
of Equalization intend to raise the assess
menl Tor purposes of State taxation 30 per
cent Mr.. J. r. Hebron. member of the
board, is indignant that the board should be
charged with a purpose to make an in rease
of assessment that can only be made after
an examination Of the assessment rolls of
the several counties SHOWS that the assess
ment of San Francisco is 80 per cent under
the standard of valuation adopted in the as
sessment OF property in other counties. We
trust that Mr. Hebron will be considerable
of the apprehensiOnS of San Francisco tax
payers, in view of the fact that one increase
has been ordered without making the show
ing which Mr.. Hebron regards as neces-
sary. Nc proof has ever been submitted to
show that the increase of last year was JUS
tifiable. On the contrary, there is every
reason 10 believe that the increase was arbi-
tlary. The Board of EqualizerS uudoubt-
edly found some property that had been
assessed considerably below its market
value. Not having the power to increase
separate assessments within a county, the
State board reached the low assessments
without much consideration Of those that
had been made as high as the market
value OF the property would warrant mat
the general average of assessments in San
Francisco is as high as in the interior IS
seIf-evdent. No person acquainted with
values IN this city and IN the interior will
admit without proof that one third of the
taxable property of the State lies in San
Francisco. There is greater difference be-
tween the owners estimate OF the values of
land in the interior and its assessed value
than between the owners estimate of the
value of property in this city and its as
sessed value. For example, there will not
gem rally be more than about 10 per cent
between the owners estimate of the value
of a $1,000 house and lot and its assessed
value. But in counties in the interior land
that is held at $500 an acre will not be as
sesSed at more than about 500. The AS
SCISSOR says the SEQ an acre is a fancy prics
that while land is sold at that figure and
above, but comparatively little can be sold
at such rates. We trust Mr.. HebbrOn's ex-
PLANTATION of the purposes of the State board
will be warranted by its proceeding. If it
is there need be no fear of an increase in
the valuations for either State or city pur-
poses The assessments in particular cases
may nave been too low, but the general as
seSsment is quite high enough.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC CUT.

The Southern Pacific Company has been
charging SAT ton for freight on hardware
from New York to San Francisco and it
now proposes to do the same work for $50
per ton. This seems like sweeping re-
ductlon. but it does not meet clipper rates
by more than one half. Non-perishabIe
merchandise is being brought round Cape
Horn Tor IS per ton. What difference does
IL make to the clipper ships whether the
railroad charges $50 or SAT? But while the
ocean route was tied up the railroad COM
pany could set the rates. Ii set them ar
about six times the cost Of the service. as
demonstrated by the clipper ships. The
Southern Pacific will have to make more
and deeper cuts to disturb the owners
OF clipper ships. On non perishable
freights the water rate is much the cheapest.
1T Is quite possible that the Southern Pa
cific may make other and deeper cuts. Its
