AMENDMENT ONE.

The voters will consider the constitu-
tional amendments in the order in which
they are presented. The Assembly Con-
stitutional Amendment No. 81 will there
fore be referred to as amendment 1. II
proposes to amend section of article II
so as to prohibit persons who cannot read
the constitution in English and write their
name from exercising the franchise. Per.
sons now voting, persons prevented by
physical disability from complying with
the conditions, and men 60 years of age
and over are excepted from the provisions
of the amendment. This amendment has
already been favorably commented upon
by The CALL.

TARIFF NOT A MUNICIPAL ISSUE.

There is no greater issue in the United
States than the tariff, but it has nothing
whatever to do with the approaching
municipal election. A contemporary that
is apt to lose its head when fight begins
TO go against it is trying to make voters
think that because it is in favor of pro-
tective tariff its candidates for municipal
office should be elected. Saudwiched be-
tween praises of candidates nominated at
the Burns convention are assertions that
the country enjoyed great prosperity for
years under Republican rule. That is true.
but it Is no reason why the party should
be made the stalking-horse to carry gang
of boss nominees into municipal offices.

ELLERT FOR MAYOR.

San Francisco is at present governed
under the provisions of the consolidation
act. This act has been amended by acts
of the Legislature, and has been variously
interpreted by the Supreme Court. The
consequence is that Mayor who has not
given the act especial study would find
himself unable to oppose schemes that
might be coneocted to rob the public.
Mr.. Ebert has had excellent opportunities
to study the organic law of the city. Dur
ing mis- first term in the board he was a
spectator of the proceedings or ring and
watched 1t closely. During his second
term he was chairman of the Finance Com
mitiee. and consequently the leader of the
board. A term as Mayor has completed
his education in municipal affairs. viii
the voters allow this able and competent
Official to be set aside by the Southern
Pacific Company?

AMENDMENT FIVE.

This is Senate constitutional amend.
ment IT, 1t amends section 7 oil
article XI so as to provide for the CONSOLE
datiOn of city and county government:
under general laws with one set of officers.
1t strikes out the provision requiring
cities of more than 100000 inhabitants 10
maintain two Boards of Supervisors, or
two legislative chambers composing one
legislative body. AS San Francisco, the
only city in the State with 100, 900 inhabi-
tants. has never complied with the con-
stitutional provision requiring two legis-
lative chambers, the adoption of the
amendment would refer this question of a
double chamber to the freeholders in
forming a new charter.

KODAKS.

Two years ago the army of suffers wa.
demoralizsd by the appearance of kodaks
at the scene of final action. As Salem
Scudder said years ago. the machine can
not lie. When the sunlight stamps a face
upon canvas the lines are so accurate that
the face cannot deny its identity. The
Kodak will be brought into action again
next Tuesday. When suffer casts a
ballot his features will be taken and pre-
served to determine his identity when he
is brought into court under charge of lille
gal voting. The wisest thing the stuffer
can do under the circumstances is not to
stuff

AMENDMENT SEVEN.

This is Senate constitutional amend
ment 16. 1t amends section of article
XIII SO as to exempt free public libraries
and free museums from taxation. The
amendment is advocated on the same
principle as the exemption of public
schools from taxation. To seek TO draw a
revenue from institutions The public support
is like taking money from one pocket and
putting it into the other, and paying on.
of the fund the cost of transfer. But there
does not seem to be any necessity for this
amendment, for all the kinds OF property
proposed to be exempted are already ex-
empted

HAS BEEN TRIED.

The Burns organs necessarily assure the
people that municipal issues cannot be
separated from national politics These
organs forget that during several years
after the disbanding of the vigilance COM
mittee Of 1856 peoples party organiza-
ton gave San Francisco the best municipal
government of any city in the United
States. Mayors, heads of departments
and Boards of Supervisors and Education
were elected on the record of candidates
or individuals. The absorbing national
issues arising out of the Civil War enabled
politicians to gain control of the affairs of
the city. OF recent years our municipal
government has been expensive and ineffi-
Gent. The success of the bipartisan
ticket this year will re-establish the prin-
ciple Of non-partisanship in municipal
government.

AMENDMENT NINE,

This is Senate constitutional amendment
20. 1t amends section 90 of article ".
increasing the pay of members of the
Legislature to $1,000 per session. Under
the present law the pay of members of the
Legislature is limited to a sixty days
session at SIS per day. with liberal
allowance for mileage. This limit has
not prevented the Introduction of use
less bills and mischievous bills, but re-
moval of this limit would add to the oppor-
tunities for such work not now possessed.
The work of the session can be done In
sixty days and less ii the members will
attend to business.

"those who most loudly clamor for the
Government 10 take the Central Pacific
Railroad If its debt is not paid at maturity
wholly ignore the fact that there is a mort
gage prior to that of the Government
which, if foreclosed, leaves the Govern

let the Government take nothing. The
men who have nsed the earnings Of the

allowed to continue TO profit at the ex-
pense of the people. Let the rich rascals

McNAB FOR SHERIFF.

The statement has often been made that
the bosses of both parties would move
heaven and earth to prevent McNab from
being elected Sheriff. To saw nothing of
the secrets entrusted to the office of which
a record is kept, the loss of the power to
summons jurors is one the bosses cannot
permit to pass out of their hands. McNab,
the Non-Partisan candidate, has become so
formidable within the past few days that
the bosses have combined on Whelan as
the one of the two boss candidates toward
whom the largest vote may be thrown.
Ruddick is considered little lame. He is
willing enough. but his record as pledge
breaker is against him.

AMENDMENT EIGHT.

This is Assembly constitutional amend
ment 81. 1t amends section of ar
ticle TX, increasing the State Board of
Education by adding thereto the president
and professor of pedagogics of the State
University. 1t is perhaps just that the
University should be represented in the
State Board of Education, though there is
no just complaint that the University Is
not pretty we'll cared for now. An amend
ment to give the primary and gramna
schools a representative in the S tat,
Board would perhaps receive larger
vote.

WHAT'S IN A NAME.

In time of great danger the ordinary
rules Of action are set aside. For example,
Buckley holds that Democrats should vote
for such Democrats as he dominates and
Burns holds that Republicans should vote
for such Republicans as he nominates.
But these two great men are great enough
TO sink principle when an emergency
arises. In the imminent danger that a
straight Non-Partisan ticket will be elected
the obligation to vote TOR party candidates
gives way. Thus. the word has gone out
that Democrats may vote for certain Re.
publicans and that Republicans may vote

THE BURNS GAME.

The Burns morning organ admits that its
twelve candidates for Supervisors are not
twelve angels. 1t asserts, however, that
they are twelve men to whose care the cit
liens of San Francisco may entrust their
last dollar. At the same time it is consid-
cred prudent TO require even Burns Su-
pervisors to give bonds not to play the
Burns game as played In Sacramento,
