HOW TO ENCOURAGE CERTAIN
VITAL INDUSTRIES.

No citizen will antagonize this propo-
sition, to wit. California should encour-
age, not handicap the growth of orchards.
So, too, all will agree that the cultivation
of nut bearing trees should be stimulated.
Likewise it is the policy of wisdom to
promote the setting out and fostering of
vineyards.
But do we encourage or discourage
these industries by our present system
Of the belief that we discourage them
has been born the proposition embodied
in Assembly Constitutional Amendment
No. Seven. being number three in the
Governors proclamation.
The proposal to the voters of California
is that they shall approve the desired
amendment, providing that fruit and nut
bearing trees under four years of age
from the time of planting, when in or
chard form, and grapevines under three
years Of age shall be exempt from taxa
tion. To this proposition there ought to
be unanimous assent for obvious reasons
reasons which assert themselves in the
very statements with which we have
opened this article.
The man who puts out fruit or nut trees
or grapevines, is, OF course, compelled to
wait from three to four years, aud often a
longer time, for them to come into bear
ing and determine themselves as Sim
proyements." 1t is an investment OF
dead cost that he must carry without the
slightest hope of return within the
periods named. It is more than that,
besides investing in the trees and vines,
and giving up acreage to non-production
for time, he must incur new liabilities
each year in necessary cultivation. Be-
fore the limit suggested is reached the
scheme may prove complete failure.
Excessive humidity, pest blight and
other causes may destroy the investment.
Why then should such men be taxed
for endeavor to promote industries which
are now and must remain the foremost of
all in the agricultural realm? They pay
the tax upon their land thus given over
to the enterprise. but until success in
bringing the trees and vines to bearing is
attained neither tree nor vine is an i'm
provement absolutely, or value worthy
of taxation. They are values prospect
lively, but not in the present, and it is not
or should not be the policy to tax that in
horticulture and viticulture which can
have no real value until after a period of
n-productive years has elapsed.
1t is not therefore discrimination. it is
not favoritism, nor is it in anywise un-
just and unequal in the scheme of taxa
ton to exempt human effort to produce
such assessable values. On the contrary,
such exemption is encouragement to culti-
vators to augment the material wealth of
the State, to better the conditions of the
industry of cultivation of the soil, and,
in sense, to subsidize the very thing all
the people desire shall have the greatest
possible encouragement, since in the tree
and the vine California's greatest pro-
ductive interests reside.

A DISTINGUISHED English actress has
taken the San Francisco press to task.
She tells us that it is not only unapprecia-
tive, but is vicious and nasty, and that it
will not. even if it has the capacity, fairly
criticise the worth of the stage. Gem
orally. she thinks the metropolitan press
unclean, cruel and reckless. Why did
not the actress discourse upon some SUBJ
ject less trite, and upon which an issue
might be joined. She has really told US
nothing new.

THE CONTEST FOR SHERIFF..

The local campaign is about to close.
Men must now make up their minds for
whom they will vote. In settling the
question as to the shrievalty our advice
to them is to vote for the Republican
nominee, Frank T. Johnson. The rea-
sons are that he is the Republican choice:
that, boy and man. he has been a Sacra-
mentan all his useful, reputable life; that
he is not influenced by prejudices, sub
ject to the passions of an hour, or likely
to be found wanting should the time come
demanding decision, energy and clear
perception of duty and courage to do it.
Every man knows that with such Sher-
if last summer the city would have been
spared injury and humiliation, and hum
dreds of men, hard working and skillful.
would to-day be free from distress and
care, and the people of the State would
have been spared q deal of the stress of
the hard times. while disorder and un-
rest would have been so slight that it
would not materially have affected u.s.
Men who are sensible know that the lack
of backbone and good judgment in the
Office of Sheriff was the cause of more
than two-thirds of all our troubles last
summer, and none realize this more than
the men who were most involved and in
terested. Mr.. Johnson has served the
county well. He has been faithful and
competent official. He is young, vigor-
Gus, has fine business training, and his
integrity stands unchallenged. We are
confident that he viii be elected. All the
indications and expressions warrant that
forecast. But it is fitting that his majority
be made large; that it shall be splendid
vindicatioa of manliness, tolerance, ca
pacity, law-abiding and fearlessness.

tiCe Target Shooting on Sunday.
Charles o Cedarquist, privato, Com.
pany A, Second infantry, stationed at
Omaha. has been found guilty uf dis
obeying his superior officer in refusing
because of religious scruples to attend
target practice ON Sunday and sentenced
to be confined at hard labor for d period
Of six months and to forfeit to the Unit
ed States $40 per month Of his pay for
the same period. This is the first time
such q case has arisen in the annals OF
the army, and the decision and finding
Of the court martial established d prec-
edent for future cases of a similar ma
ture. The case has attracted q great
deal of attention in army and religious
circles
The defense was practically limited
to the contention that the order, in re-
spect of which disobedience was charg-
ed, was an unlawful one In that--hrst,
1t enjoined a duty to be performed ON
Sunday in violation of orders and regu-
lations limiting Sunday labor in Che
army to the measure of strict necessity,
and, second, that the act required TO be
done would have been d violation Of
section 241 of the criminal code of Ne
braska. The decision says:
That q commanding officer has d dis.
erection under existing orders to require
target practice by his command on Sun
day in a . Of necessity Is u~ndoubted.
The evidence in this case fails TO fix up
ON the commanding officer amy abuse of
discretion in the issue OF the order COM
planned of by the accused. The legality
of that order and the obligation of the
accused to obey it when duly transmit
ted to him cannot be questioned. 1t was
not for him to judge of the necessity for
the issuance of the order. The discre-
tion pertained to his commanding Off
Ger as to whether one existed, and,
whether enormously or not, it was the
duty Of the accused to obey. 1t is conced-
ed that soldiers stationed at Belleview
rifle range, Nebraska, who, % indiyid-
uals, engage in hunting and shooting
on Sunday, would be within the provi-
sio,1s of the sections referred to and ia-
BILE to its penalties, but after careful
consideration the reviewing authority
is of the opinion that the state could
not make, nor has it by this section or
any other legislation to which his at
tention has been called. attempted to
