A CAPITAL QUESTION TEST.

A citizen of Alameda, Mr.. H. P. Liver
more, has seen fit to bring the question
of the lawfulness of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment for a removal of
the seat of government before the courts.
Mr.. Livermore has acted on his own
motion, as he had the right to do. Sooner
or later the question had to be passed
upon by judicial tribunals; perhaps the
sooner the better. The preliminary
question is one of remedy. Whether Mr..
Livermore's procedure in asking for a
restraining order is the proper method to
be employed in getting the question be-
fore the courts or not, remains to be seen.
If the proper method of procedure to get
a footing in court is that which Mr.. Liver
more has pursued, then he has not acted
proper remedy, then all other methods
remain open. For it is folly for the two
places, Sacramento and San Jose, to ex-
pend their energies and means in a cam
paign that at best is not conducive to the
public good or the fair name of the State,
upon basis that has no legal support
1t is better for all concerned that the mat
ter of legality of the legislative proceed
ing be settled early, therefore. The
RECoRD-UNIoN in its first issue after the
coup d'etat of the Legislature, declared
that the whole proceeding by the Legis-
lature was void and of no effect, and we
set forth as the reasons for such conclu-
sion the same grounds now relied upon
in the main in the Livermore action.
We have never faltered from the judg-
ment we originally formed; we are
stronger in it to-day than ever. Beyond
all question, as matter of law, the Leg
islature did not proceed in the matter of
changing the seat of government as the
Constitution prescribes. Ifit shall be de-
termined that the method Mr.. Livermore
has chosen in his action is not the proper
one, there is nothing done that will pre-
vent any other citizen proceeding through
any other avenues. In some way the
legal questions involved must be got be-
fore the courts. and on that all are
agreed.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres Of
land in the heart of Teha21a County, Tor the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, TO
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 100, $50 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above Indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, a. which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF i've equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is 10 be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre.
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es.
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body OF land was the breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its set
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
TO diligent husbandry.

and exposed? At the very outset
the RECoRD-UNIoN asked this pub
lie officer the privilege of making
such investigation as would enable it to
determine in calm, judicial way, how
the system was conducted, and by what
devices land attorneys were enabled to
locate all the lieu. 1t will not be denied
by Mr.. Reichert, or any one else, that
this practice has been in vogue for years,
and that the actual settler has not been a
beneficiary of the land system of Califor-
MIA. We simply asked the privilege on
behalf of the paper of investigating the
whole system and of giving the public
our conclusions. More than this, we
proposed to incur whatever expense was
necessary for the purpose of presenting
to the public the data upon which our
conclusions were based, so that all men
could draw their own conclusions. We
were refused this privilege and we so
stand refused to-day.
Opening the doors of safe and expos
ing the envelopes in which lot of papers
are filed is not giving the public access
to their contents; it is a mere subterfuge.
But beyond all this, the confessed condi-
ton of things, that these papers
are placed in the safe at all, that
public officer becomes their
custodian, under an agreement with
the people who file them there, that their
contents are not to be exposed, is of itself
the admission of reprehensible act. 1t
is also admitted that the owners of these
papers open envelopes and withdraw the
applications. Mr.. Reichert appeals to his
twenty years experience in the admins
tration of public land affairs. This APP
peal is most unfortunate in the light of
recent developments. After twenty years
experience he is in doubt as to his duty
concerning the serious question as to
whether an application affecting the pub
lie property should be accepted or reject
GU etAO A0 uO1uS u SOuTL
to inform his intelligence and his con-
science on this simple subject.
We had earnestly hoped to conduct this
inquiry on behalf of the public, thereby
contributing to reform of the system,
promoting the highest intests of the State,
securing to the actual settler his legal
rights, and thus rendering an important
assistance to the Surveyor-G General with
out being forced into any line of COM
ment which would be personally dis
agreeable to any officer or any firm of
attorneys. We have assured the Sur
veyor-General repeatedly that he was not
the object of assault. He has chosen to re-
gard every effort to to obtain information
as an Impeachment of his integrity. If
he is responsible for the existing system
it is his duty to defend it; if he is not,
assault upon it is not in any respect an
Impeachment of his administration.

NOW FOR SWIFT PUNISHMENT.


The arrest of the Anarchist Eckhold, at
Long Island City, and his confession that
he is one of a band of anarchists in the
United States, covenanted with each
other to destroy life and wreck property
by the use of dynamite bombs, ought to
be made case of example-example so
swift, stern and terrible that anarchists
shall be brought to realizing sense of the
fact that their game is one at which two
terrorism. If life is to be destroyed and
property to be ruined to satisfy their in
sane desires, it must be with the clear
understanding that society will protect
itself if it can.
But when it comes to the method to be
employed, the line between the anarchist
and the organized society is clear and IN
mistakable. Society will be swift, sure,
terrible in its visitation, but it will pursue
methods recognized by the law, and those
only. Its vengeance will be all the moro
terrible because orderly and lawful. The
laws are ample already to cover the Of
fenses of the anarchists. Society permits
and orders that snakes shall have their
heads crushed by the heel of man, be-
cause the serpent has its crest raised for
ever against man. 1t is a case of self
defense. These noxious and reptilian
beings who claim to represent principle
must be taught that they have no license

The Sanitary Conference to be held in
san Francisco on the 18th ought to be
fully attended, it being a consultation of
the highest importance to the State. Sac
ramento will be represented by able men,
and it is hoped that every city in the
State will have in the body delegates of
broad views and well informed upon the
advances that sanitary science has made
in recent years. There is no more pitt
able object than the physician who adj
heres to old and exploded ideas, and who
imagines that what has been is good
enough for what is and is to be.

CERTAIN San Francisco papers are at
tempting to advise Sacramento relative to
hotel site, and one goes so far as to
threaten the people if they take site for
the location of new hotel that does not
suit the pleasure of the journalist. VIII
strangers please keep their hands off this
site matter? Presumably the capital that
puts up for new hotel will come from
the pockets of men who know enough
to come in out of the rain, and certainly
are well enough informed as to the local
conditions and needs to invest wisely for
themselves and the city of their home.
