An Unexplained Move.

The Southern Pacific has taken action
which, while evidently leveled at the Atch-
ison road, is difficult for railroad men In
Chicago to understand. 1t has line into
San Diego, and has issued a circular say
ing that hereafter IL will not honor any
San Diego tickets over the Southern Cali
fornia because of the s. arbitrary rate de-
manded. The thing virtually amounts to
any terms. Why II should voluntarily
throw away any business without any COM
pensating return is a question. There is
unquestiOnably something behind the move,
but railroad men say that they do not

without undertaking in the lcast the posi-

me that the officials who administer our city

that we are therefore entitled to equal Ruaran-

amendment to our city charter which would
provide that all candidates for municipal offices
