1t will be seen from this that the
Mathews amendment contem plates the
entire dissnthrallment OF the whole
state. The construction of state trunk
line will be the signal for the construc-
ton OF countless branches and feeders
to it. go that, in the end, no part Of the

of Octopus Huntington. The people OF
California will be quick to appreciate
this. and be they ever 30 selfsh-whch
they are not-their own selfinterest
will compel them to vote for the
Mathews amendment.
That bill has nothing to fear from the
people. once it has got safely out of the
Legislature. Therein is the danger. 1t
ia possible that this legislature will
prove corruptible enough to refuse to
put tho measure before the suffragss of
the whole people. Such q contingency
is possible. but hardly probable. 1t will
mean political death to the legislator
who shall dare to vote against the
Mathews bill. Doubtless there are those
in this assembly who have no ambition
beyond the accumulation of ill-gotten
wealth, but THE HERALD will refuse to
believe, until convinced by an actual
vote, that there are sufficient number
OF boodlers in the coming Legislature to
defeat the greatest measure of relief for
a corporation-ridden people that will
come before them.
