of the mortgage we should now be

Starting with the assumption that tho
expenditure cost Isabelle $40, he
adds interest compounded every six

ton lists are in the hands of the members
of the executive committee, who are
quietly circulating them among the
wealthy business men Of the city.
This enterprise is one that not only APP
peals to the merchants and producers but
also to the owners of real estate. The
business man, when the oppression be-
comes too great, can dispose of his stock
and seek new and more agreeable fields,
but the landowner must remain.
This condition of affairs will continue
until relief is secured by the aid of com.
peting lines. and it is certainly the duty of
those whose investments are in real estate
to assist in this enterprise which will so
greatly benefit those who rent their
property.
II is not the intention of the Traffic
Association TO seek aid from the people of
the San Joaquin Valley until the citizens
of San Francisco have subscribed sum
sufficient to guarantee q success. The
amount required is not large, and with a
united effort can be quickly secured.
The enterprise being under the control
of the Traffic Association is guarantee in
itself TO the people that il is an honest
effort in their behalf. and will be conducted
by men of integrity and high standing.
The League of Progress, an organization
capable of accomplishing vast amount
of good, has rallied to the support Of the
Traffic Association. The league an
nounces that hereafter it Intends to assist
in every possible manner the fight that is
being made to secure equitable freight
rates. and with that object in view it has
offered to aiG in securing subscriptions TO
tie capital stock Of the valley road.
the manner in which the canvass for
subscriptions will be made in the valley
has not been fully agreed upon, but it is
now expected that each county will look
after its own contributions. A committee
of prominent citizens will be selected by
the people of each county, whose duty it
will be 10 receive subscriptions and repre-
sent the contributors until the time az
rives to elect board of trustees.
In this manner the people will know
that their money is used for the purpose
for which it was given. and there will be
no transportation of funds. which so
frequently occurs in the construction of
railroads.
Then the plan to place tn 9 entire capital
stock in the control of trustees, with a con-
tract to maintain it as competing line, is
another guarantee that the people are not
going to be deceived. The Traffic Asso-
citation will pl' dge itself to honestly con-
struct and operate the road. but it also pur-
poses to place around it all the safeguards
that the people can desire.

made an attempt 10 charter the Resale.
The Dayie Company, however, was given
the preference and secured the boat. the
railroads offer being ignored. NJ. F..
Lowenstein again called the members
attention 10 the attempts of the railroad 10
secure Goat Island as terminus for their
road. BE said that as the Southern Paclhc
is the only transcontinentai road In Call
fornia, he supposed that the scheme was
that the monopoly should have exclusive
control OF the island in case the Federal
Government turned it over for railroad
purposes.
NJ D. Macarthur said that if the State
controlled the property then other roads
might use the island also as terminal
grounds.
Mr. Lowenstein thought that the South
ern Pacific would take It's choice OF .loca-
ton and choose the side nearest Oakland,
leaving its possible competitor 30 reach
the other side under difficulties.
The Stockton and Bakersfield ROAD was
then discussed. but not at length. Ii was
decided TO give the road all possible sup
port and to draft a series of resolutions TO
be forwarded TO the Traffic Association.
assuring that body that the league was in
favor of the projected line, neart and soul,
of the organization.
Mr.. Moss sadded by way of a finale that
the league would go before the Traffic
Association at the special conference to be
held on July s. with the idea that it will
help to carry out the plans of the valley
line and do all in its power to secure sub
scriptionS 10 the stock of the same.
