Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of

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 SO to $50 per acre. in subdivisions of
40, so, 100, 100 and $50 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 Tor three years, a. which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipsl is to be paid tor 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 period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,

spond between these figures.
Fhe assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing cannot be

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.

Organized labor made mistake when
it ordered strike at the Worlds Fair
grounds. 1t has found that it was in err
ror and has withdrawn, practically de-
feated, for the so-called concessions
amount to nothing at all in the conduct of
affairs on the grounds. Union and non
union labor is still to be employed on
equal terms, and the hours and the pay
are the same as they were before the
strike. True, it is claimed that conces-
sion is made in the agreement not to dis
criminate against union men, but the
employers have from the outset denied
that they have Disseminated, and they
cite the complainants to the records to
establish it. 1t was talked of two months
ago that just before the opening of the
exposition there would be great strike
in Chicago and that the employers there
would be driven into corner and com
PEELED TO accede to any demands. and thus
cool generalization was revealed. 1t turns
out very differently, however-the strike
came. and it lasted one day only, and
then the men went back to work on pre-
cisely the same basis as before.
We are too good friend of labor to be-
lieve that the mass of the workers of the
country approve the action of the labor
leaders at Chicago. The whole thing
looks like concerted plan to manifest
the power of labor organization simply
to demonstrate its strength. Had the
action Of these leaders they would have
had a score to settle with the whole peo-
| pie of the country that would have been
very unpleasant. The men have work ed
all winter on terms agreed to by them,
and with the perfect understanding of the
need for speed in the preparation for the
fair. They really have no complaint in
April that did not exist in January; they
/ have gained now nothing more than they
have all along enjoyed.
The right to strike is undeniable; the
right to cease work is human right;
complaint of unfairness to the worker is
an inalienable right also; labor is on all
lines entitled to fair pay for a fair days
work, and to such hours of rest as right,
| human need, and mental and physical
good demands. But there are moral
bonds in a case of this kind that cannot be
broken without reproach. The work
men at the fair were bound in good con-
science to see the faith of the Nation kept
and to prevent any humiliation of the
United States by reason of causeless
strike and consequent stoppage of activ-
ity at the fair grounds. That there was
no sufficient reason for the strike referred
to, the document OF settlement, as signed
practically confesses. Labor's chief need
just now is emancipation from the thral-
dom OF unwise and short-sighted leader
ship.

For Local Self Government.

It is regarded as probable that an eff
fort will be made to limit the power of
the Illinois legislature by depriving it Of
power to make and unmake Offices and
officers in cities by comforting upon
localities option as to methods of rais-
ing state and municipal taxes, and by
recognizing the principle of home rule
in the matter Of carrier franchises and
regulations regarding public streets,
health, water, buildings, schools and
lighting. Popular distrust of unbridled
legislative power has notlessened since
1874, when the people by vote of 49,
313 against 9s,05O prohibited the
legislature from passing any special
laws for changing the names of per-
sons, laying out roads. locating county
seats, providing for changes of venue
in civil or criminal cases, incorporat-
ing villages, providing for election Of
members for board of supervisors, Sc

Avenge the Outrage.

People are sometimes taken at their
words, as recently in Philadelphia
The government was looking around
that city for land on which to erect q
public building. A number of eligible
sites were found, but the owners val
ued them SO highly that tho govern
ment is still looking at sites. The city
tax assessor heard of the prices wanted
his assessment books, when he was sur
prised to find that the valuations there
were hardly drop in the bucket to
the prices asked. Naturally he con-
cluded that the books were wrong,
and he made them, as he thought,
right, by putting the values of these
sites for the purposes of taxation at the
figures their owners had asked of the
government Talk about a bear gar
den, that isn't in it with the row the
site owners have been kicking up over
1.-The outrageous action of the city as
sessor." It seems that the lands had
two Values low one for taxation and
a high one for sale to Uncle Sam. The
owners want the low one continued
by the assessors for this purpose, while
he wants the high one. The owners
say they should not be called on to pay
taxes on the high price because the
property is not bringing them in any
return" The assessor insists that that
makes no difference; that if the price
had been lower the government would
have bought the land and begun the
erection of building that would have
largely added to the beauty Of the city,
not to speak of the pile Of government
money that would thus have been diff
fused among the working people OF
Philadelphia, and through them sent
into business channels. He claims,
therefore, that they have done the city
an injury and insists on the high valu-

The Church and Hard Times.

Rev. DIR. John r. Paxton recently
preached on the present condition of
the country. He said: ''You can come
out of ship, stop off at station, or
go anywhere-to the east side or Kan
sas, or Colorado-and meet people cry
ing for bread, or milk, or cursing Gods
robber barons, the landlords, said DIR.
Paxton. "And yet there is no famine
in the land. On the contrary, too much
of all kinds of products; too much
wheat and corn and never so cheap in
price as now; too much furniture, iron,
wool and cotton goods; too much of
everything, for all the markets are
gorged with products of all sorts at
prices below cost, and even then can
not find buyers.
''Strange that hard times should
mean, not scarcity of any of the neces-
saries of life, but too much corn and
cotton, wool and iron and silver. For
we have more than we can eat, more
than we can wear, more houses than
tenants can occupy.
''Overproduction is the matter with
u.s. and overproduction is only another
name for excess of wealth. There is
more stuff and goods and furniture,
-four, and upholstery than are wanted,
or, if wanted, people in need of them
have no money.
''This is not a paterna1 government.
There is no justice in abusing land
lords for demanding their rent, for
landlords must pay the butcher and
baker, as well as other people. The
world owes fit environment to every

owe man living, it does not He must
earn it, if he can; beg it, if he can't;
steal it, if he must, if charity grows
cold and mans inhumanity to man
makes hunger desperate and drives
want to riot
The reverend doctors heart is all
right. The trouble is he has not
caught on to the fact that the existing
evils are due to unequal distribution.
There can not be overproduction SO
long as a solitary human being, who is
willing to work, in order that he may
obtain these good things, can not find
employment, and must therefore starve
because he is unable to exchange the
products of his labor for these neces-
saries which the doctor tells US exist in
such abundance.
Much of the trouble is due to the
constant attempt to tax personal prop
erty, thereby decreasing its production
and hampering its distribution, while
more potent cause is found in the
fact that some men are allowed to hold
out of use, because of ridiculously
low assessment, great natural oppor-
tunities such as city lots, farm land,
mineral land and water powers.
If the doctor would direct his efforts
to compelling such dogs in the manger
to use their land, there would be abun-
dance of employment for all, wages
would rise, distribution would be more
equal and such suffering as we note to-
day would be impossible.-A. j. Boul-
ton.
