The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-06-20

Some proper steps should be taken TO stop this
more than needless expense OF two sets of as
SCISSORS. two sets of tax collectors, two sets of
treasurers found in so many counties in the
State. Scarcely State in this Union has its
real estate assessed more than once in two
years. Ohio only once i'll five years. This prac-
tce entails enormous extra expense to our tax
payers.
You should instruci.youT Legislature to cease
the pernicious practice Of making their differ
ent approximation bills Immediately ayailable.
1t is this kind Of legislation that depletes the
money In the treasury, for 1t anticipates the
levy and collection OF taxes that should natur-
ally cover the appropriations made in them.
You should demand OF them to turn over a new
leaf and stop the unwarranted practice OF throw.
ing the money Of the people away by making
useless places for political supporters while the
Legislature is in session and compel them TO re-
duce many useless expenses so commonly prac-
ticed by legislative bodies.
am not speaking in personal complaining
manner of our Legislatures. Far from il. But
call attention 10 il at this time because my ex.
perence has taught me that our State Legisla-
ture is of much greater Importance than most
Of our people imagine.
But enough OF this. Gentlemen OF The con.
vention, you have great and important work
before you and l hare every confidence that
you VIII tuiOW tH ScluSDUcsS dSlUe ana give Us
ticket that will command the respect Of every
honest citizen in this State. have no pets and
no candidates for any place. but after you have
designated them every one OF them shall be my
candidate from then until the votes declare
them elected on the 9Th day of November next.
Let me beseech you to take time enough to do
your work well. An extra day is nothing when
compared with the Importance of the work you
have in hand. You owe it to yourselves, you
owe 1t to your party. and above all to the cltI-
zens of this State to give us a good ticket,
and If you do we VIII sweep the State like cy-
clone.
at the conclusion of the Governor g
speech a photograph of the convention
was taken from the rear of the hall, a
rather awkward arrangement for the dele
gates, who had to crane their heads
around. After this important record for
the dim ages of the future Chairman
Knight announced the various commit
tees as follows:
