WE AND OUR NEIGHB0RS.

Antioch, at the junction of the San
Joaquin and Sacramento rivers, prefers its
claim as the heavy freight terminus of the
valley railroad. In addition to its situa-
ton at what may be deemed the head of
navigation for deep-water ships, it urges
the possession of the neighboring Mount
Diablo coal mines as an important factor in
its claim.
Many considerations will be involved in
locating the terminus of the valley road
for either freight or passenger business.
One thing, however, is certain: the
neighborhood of cheap coal, with good
shipping facilities, should make Antioch
an important business point. The Mount
Diablo coal mines have been worked for a
generation, producing the cheapest coal
that comes to the San Francisco market.
Presumably the output could be increased
on demand. There is no good reason for
importing coal SO long as home supply is
available. On the contrary, sound policy
prescribes that we should patronize the
home product, even though not the best
in quality. For many purposes its cheap
ness may be made to offset its low grade.
1t is also possible that the construction
of the valley road may make Antioch
convenient shipping point for coal from
the newly opened Corral Hollow mines
near Livermore. This is a deposit of
higher quality, and apparently almost IN
limited quantity. A short feeder line
might be connected with the valley road
some little distance above Antioch.
Cheap coal for San Francisco industrial
and household use and the patronage of
bapoa in I1Strv nnro bina fo indroa attan-
ton to this source of supply. There is
double, or rather a multifold, benefit
within sight. We have been for years
partly attributing our manufacturing back
wardness to dear fuel, and here is cheap
supply at our doors. The development of
these mines will start the wheels of our
factories and the employees of each will
become the customers of the other. Every
new industry makes a place for another,
and so the ball will keep rolling until
California becomes a self-sustaining COM
munity.
In all things the purpose should be to
trade with our neighbors as much as pos
sible. California has remained for years
paratively poor and scant of popula-
ton because it has gone abroad for what It
could and should produce at home. There
is one of the largest straw ana MANILA
paper mills OF California in this same little
town of Antioch. 1t is running now with
half a force. Many other mills in the
State are closed down. Meantime we are
importing papers. This offends the gram
mar of business. 1t is only one instance of
many. 1t is time for change, and the

THEY ACCOMPLISHED LITTLE
THE COMMITTEE FOR THE RELIEF
OF THE UNEMPLOYED AD-
JoURN SINE DIE.
PRACTICABLE MEASURES FOR RE-
LIEvING THE NEEDY WERE
Nor AGREED UPON.

The citizens committee of twenty-one,
which was appointed by Mayor Sutro some
time ago to devise ways and means Tor the
relief of the unemployed men in the city,
held another, and its last, meeting IN
Mayor Sutro's office yesterday afternoon.
There were only seven members of the
committee present-Messrs. George K.
Fitch. James R. Kelly, 1. G. Truman,
James H. Barry, H. II. Reid, John M.
Reynolds and NJ McGlynn. The meeting
was called to order by James r. Kelly.
Mr. REYNOLDS on behalf of the commit
tee on raising funds reported thai, two
canvassers had been appointed and had
already begun Work. So far $40 had been
subscribed, the most of which had been
given by members of the committee. 1t
had be en- arranged to have letters sent out
ahead of the canvassers to persons upon
whom they would call stating the neces-
sity for assisting the deserving unem-
ployed.
Mr.. Kelly here arose and said that while
he did not wish to throw cold water upon
the movement to assist the deserving poor
he did want to say that he considered 1t
waste of time to come to the meetings.
No result had been accomplished. Fur
thermore, he said that people generally, he
understood, were saying that the present
was an inappropriate time for the move
ment; that there were fewer men out OF
employment at present than ever before,
and that it was too late in the season.
Unemployed men can be found, he said,
at all times in large cities, and he did not
think there was any distress among work
ing people in this city. He moved that the
committee adjourn sine die.
Secretary Reynolds read a protest
against the inactivity shown by certain
members of the committee and deemed
their action inhuman and disgraceful.
Mr.. Kelly expressed some indignation at
the reading of the letter and its insinua-
tions. He said lie had as good a name in
the community as Mr. Reynolds, and he
had assisted the movement in every way.
81 have contempt for such cold blooded
language" he added.
Mr.. Reynolds and Mr.. Tannian then had
spat, because the latter held similar
views to Mr.. Kelly. James II. Barry said
he had no doubt about restitution in the
city and that thousands were out of work,
but if the committee could do nothing
there was no cause for its existence. He
believed legislative measures should be
taken to make the unemployed self-sup-
porting. Mr.. McGlynn said he agreed with
Mr.. Barry, and said he knew there were
more good mechanics out of work now
than ever before.
After some discussion the motion to adj
iourn sine die was carried.
AS to the expense which had been in
CURED in the registration bureau, the mem
bers present said they would stand their
share of the amount.

THE INCOME TAX.

The first Monday in March has come
and gone, and with it has also come and
gone the time within which the citizens of
the United States have been required to
make statements of their respective in
comes under the odious and unpopular
income-tax law-if it be law There are
many thousands of our most law-abiding
citizens who have not made these state
ments and who will not, because they
deem the statute which seeks to compel
them so to do itself illegal, and hence who
will be in sympathy with US in our deter
mination to resist every step in the process
toward enforcement of this abominable
tax by appeal to the courts of proper juris-
diction and of ultimate resort.
1t is not our intention in this or any
other matter to violate the laws of the land
while conceding them to be such, nor to
engage in any opposition to them for the
mere sake of litigation. Our resistance to
the income tax law is based upon the firm
and honest conviction that it is not law
in truth and fact when tested by those
canons of liberty, equality and justice
which the constitution has established.
The contest will be. an entirely friendly
one, with the sole and single purpose of
determining whether or not this UNEQUAL
and unpopular measure is binding law.
1t is the right of every citizen, and not
alone his right but his duty, to resist every
inroad upon his liberties which in good
faith he thinks unjustified by the consti-
tuition. In all loyalty and devotion to our
Government, we shall contest the imposi-
ton OF this tax until the highest courts in
4hal Low, bor- 4
There is already on the way to the United
States Supreme Court case in which the
issue of the legality of this tax may posi-
bly, be decided. 1t is an injunction suit
brought by one John G. Moore, banker
OF New York, against John S. Miller, the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, to re-
strain him from attempting to collect the
income tax. Thus far in the progress of
that case the direct issue as to the validity
of the law has not been presented, the
lower courts deciding that it could not be
reached by an injunction proceeding. The
Supreme Court may adhere to this view,
and hence that suit may fail to be decisive
of the real controversy. BY direct resist
ance to the law at every point where its
enforcement is tried, the exact question
cannot be long avoided, and sooner or
later we shall have the court of last resort
face to face with it and with no recourse
but to decide it finally and fairly to be
law or to be of none effect and void. To-
ward that issue and decision we shall
steadfastly set our face, in the fullest con-
fidence that the income tax will be rele-
gated to the bric-a-brac shelf set apart for
those statutes which have come in conflict
with the Federal constitution.

NO MORE STREET GRABBING.

The Board of Supervisors has passed to
print an order imposing punishment by
Imprisonment from three to six months
on any one who begins work involving the
tearing up or obstruction OF public streets
without giving forty-eight hours notice.
Now let them put it promptly through
final passage and then vigorously enforce
the ordinance. There has been too much
grabbing of public streets by corporations
under cover of night. We have seen such
work done in forcible defiance of the city
authorities for want of an ordinance to fit
the case in the opinion of one or another
department of the city government. A
street railroad. corporation can well afford
to gain its end at the expense of fine or
civil suit, but directors, bosses and en-
ployes will be slow to risk term in Jail.
As regards the convenience of corporations
the public convenience is the first consid-
Grafton, and street railroad companies do
not decide, upon and require new lines in
such hurry that they cannot give two
days notice of intention.

How Accounts of Debt Can Be Squared
in Hawaii.
If man has run himself deeply in debt
in Honolulu or any other part of Hawaii,
and is unable to pay, and therefore cannot
secure his passports to leave the islands,
no matter how anxious he may be to de-
part, there is still way open for him which
works like charm. He can become an
enthusiastic royalist, get himself deported,
and have his debts paid by the Govern
ment. At least that is the plan which is
said to be in operation with the Dole Gov
eminent at the present time
Frank l.. Hogs, editor of the Paradise
of the Pacific, and city editor of the Homo
lulu Advertiser. who arrived on the Aus
tralia last Saturday, in speaking of depor-
tations and exiles from the islands last
night, said
at is fact that many of the men who
were mixed up In the last attempted revo-
luton and who have since been deported,
or will be deported, are deeply in debt in
Honolulu and could not under ordinary
circumstances have secured their passports
tie leave the islands. But, while the fact
am about to state has not been generally
published, 1T is understood upon good
authority that the creditors of all those
who have been deported by the present
Government will be paid the full amounts
OF their claims against the exiles. This
would seem no more than Just, because
otherwise the law against disloyal citizens
would work a hardship on the creditors
who may be loyal and true to the existing
regime. They would lose their money and
would have no further recourse against the

company's dam, which will no longer re-

This action will be gratifying and en-
couraging to those who favor hydraulic
mining as well as to those who oppose it
for fear of damage to valley settlers. 1t
shows that the Debris Commission is
attending to business; that its supervision
is guarantee of the proper regulation
of hydraulic mining. 1t will inspire con-
tidence in the operation of the law upon
which the continuance of such mining
depends. The number of applications for
permits now before the commission indi-
cate the activity which will soon prevail in
that line of production. 1t is golden
prospect for California. The number OF
protests against the restraining works OF
certain companies also show that close
popular supervision is maintained that,
in cooperation with the commission. may
be depended upon to keep things straight.
Everything is working in the right way.

Said to Have Found Positive Cure for
Asthma and Hay Fever.
Among the few really eminent botanists of
America, Professor Farrand of Vermont easily
stands in the front rank, and a discovery that
he has recently made will do mueh-to add tc
his fame.
After long research he has found a happy
combination OF herbs and leaves that contain
the peculiar heslth-giving qualities of the
famous Adirondack regions, where diseases Of
air passages are unknown. Wherever tried this
has given great relief, and 70 per cent OF the
eases reported perfect cure of asthma, some
of them seemingly hopeless cases.
This Adirondack asthma cure is now offered to
the public generally by the DR.. Howard Com
pany, box A 81 of Burlington, VT, who will
mail large sized box for SO cents. They do
not want pay from those whom they do not
cure, and will return the money to any whom
