To Build UP Vermont.

A certain Vermonter was the enviable
pOssessOr of ten thousand dollars in cash
The enviable VermOnter loaned the
money in a small adjoining town. The
borrowers didn't borrow it to look at, of
course. They paid their debts and ex-
tended their business and improved their
property with it. They put it IN circula-
ton; and the town was better off by ten
thousand dollars than it was before. Then
the town authorities began to pile on the
taxes, until finally the taXgatherer got
two-thirds of the six per cent interest on
the money. In other words, he took
per cent and the lender of the $4,000
netted per cent. Thereupon, as the
loans fell due, the lender refused to re-
new them-and the authorities had sue
ceeded in driving $4,000 out of town.
The same thing is going on all over
the State. Our tax laws, in their spirit
and in their enforcement, practically sub
serve no other purpose than that of
driving capital out of the communities
and out of the State.
The sum and substance of all efforts
toward public progress is to bring per-
sonal property into a community. Real
estate has no value, comparatively, un-
less personal property accompanies it:
your community can't prosper when you
are driving capital out of it and keeping
it out.
Millions upon millions of Vermont cap
ital are invested in the West. The mon.
ey is sent there because, first, the oppOr-
tunities for investment within the State
are comparatively limited, but second
and principally because of heavy local
taxation. If the tax on money were re-
pealed, Vermont capital would be invest
ed at home, to very large extent, out
side capital would be attracted here, rich
men of the great cities would take up
their residence here, and an era of spleu-
did property would dawn upon the State.
In the meantime,a ,as a practical matter,
while we lose so much in driving capital
out of the State, we gain nothing by at
tempting to tax money, for the reason
that it evades observation-disclosures has evad-
ed it and always will, In the assessed
valuation of the entire State, the aggre-
gate of money returned for taxation is
insignificant. Our efforts in this direc-
tion do enormous harm, and no good
whatever.

OUR COMING CONVENTION.

The desire and the hope of securing for
California a national convention of one or
the other of the great political parties are
not new, nor is the effort to secure that end
novel, save only in the conditions under
which it is made. It is these conditions,
however, from which arise the hope and
prospect that the present attempt to bring
the national convention of the Republican
party to California in 1896 will be crowned
with success.
For the past several years the State of
California has been making herself known
to the statesmen of the country by her per-
sistent resolve to please those whom chance
or business waited across her borders. We
have entertained the ministers, the Sena-
tors and the statesmen of both of the great
parties with equal generosity and satisfac-
ton, and have sent them home to tell tales
of the greatness of our State, the cordiallty
of their reception and the capacity OF San
Francisco for display of hospitality on
the grandest scale. During the past decade
we have opened our doors to the national
gatherings of several civic orders. Within
the past two years we have held an expo
sition, which, in the ambition and extent
of its entertainment, and in the number of
its visitors, was only second to the great
Columbian Fair.
These facts and conditions furnish new
foundations for the hope and effort to
secure for San Francisco the National Re-
publican Convention in 1896.
The whole country has been made aware
of the abundant capability of California to
entertain such a convention. The states
men and the leaders of the party have been
here and have tasted so royalty of our good
cheer that they would fain appear again
as our guests. There are other reasons also
which would make them desire to come
westward to hold here their convention.
The past few years has seen several new
States born into the sisterhood of
the Republic. They are all in and
of the West and have become i'm
portant factors to be considered in
the business of national politics. The
State of California herself is daily
augmenting in the eye of the nation, par
ticularly at the present time, when
50 much attention is compelled to the
political and commercial affairs of the
Pacific. The report that San Francisco
has girded her loins for entry upon a new
era and, like Chicago, has written II
will across her breast; the rumor that
California has resolved to have competing
railroads with all the blessings which COM
peting railroads bring; the fact that men
OF brains and of public and private honesty
have concluded to control affairs political
and commercial in this great State, have
already spread throughout the East and
concentrated new interest in California.
Now, therefore, is the time to strike for
the prize of national convention with
the hope, never before so well founded, OF
having our efforts result in success.

NON-PARTISAN LOGIC.

A complete demonstration of the logical
absurdity of non-partisan movements and
aspirations has just been afforded by
the non-partisans of New York City.
These gentlemen at q recent Parkhurst
meeting gravely adopted a set OF resolu-
tons of which the preamble declared that
"the benefits to be secured through the
recent triumph OF the great principle of
non-partisanship in municipal elections
and municipal government cannot be Sc
cured to the city unless that principle con-
trolls both the enactment of legislation af-
fecting the city and the administration of
the local government in all departments"
From this 1t appears that non-partisan
State legislation is an essential preliminary
to non-partisan local government. The
logic of the position is unanswerable.
State Legislatures must always have more
or less to do with legislation affecting city
governments. If, therefore, the city is to
be free from the effect of party contests and
party antagonisms the State must be free
also. A non partisan Legislature is as de-
sirable as non-partisan Board OF Super
visors, and indeed, it may be well ques-
toned whether we can completely and
thoroughly eradicate party spirit from our
city elections until we have an absolutely
non-partisan Congress.
1t would appear therefore that the nom
partisans may be really aiming at complete
supremacy in the nation. They have at
least a semblance of party organization,
dim adumbration of party platform,
several specious resemblances to party
leaders, and in the New York resolutions
very decided exhibition of party ambi-
tons. 1t seems a clear case of reaching for
the whole hog, and perhaps at the next
election we may hear of a non-partisan
candidate for the Presidency.

A NOTABLE VOTE.

The decisive majority on the side of the
Government in the House of Commons on
Thursday night has an interest wider than
the British Empire, inasmuch as it turned
upon an issue involving the much dis
cussed principle of free trade, and the
majority was against free trade.
The actual question before the Commons
arose from the action of the Government
OF India in levying considerable duty
upon cotton goods imported into India
The duty was imposed upon goods sent
from Great Britain as well as upon those
from the rest of the world. 1t was adopted
because the revenues of India have been
so much below the expenditures in recent
years that it had been found necessary last
year to borrow money from the famine
fund" in order to pay current expenses.
No other means of increasing the revenue
was deemed expedient by the Govern
ment, and therefore the indirect tax OF an
import duty was established.
The duty naturally gave offense to the
cotton-splnners, who have long been sup
porters OF the Liberal party, and they asked
the imperial Government to intervene and
compel the Indian Government to remit
the tax. The Government refused, and the
issue was raised in the Commons 1t was
argued by the cotton-spinners that the tax
was not only violation of free trade and
direct injury to their interests, but would
serve as protective tariff behind which
the manufacture of cotton goods would be-
gin in India.
Against these arguments, the Govern
ment had nothing to urge but the neces-
sity OF the case. 1t is noteworthy, how
ever, that Dadabahad Maoroii. the only
East Indian who has seat in Parliament,
warned the Commons that if the tax were
interfered with the British might as well
prepare to give up their Indian empire.
This means, of course, that India proposes
to have something to say hereafter in de-
Gliding what taxes shall be imposed rnon
her people. 1t implies, furthermore that
there is growing sentiment in India in
favor OF raising any future increase of
revenue, not by direct taxes upon the peo-
pie, but by that system of indirect taxation
which is not only lighter upon the people
but is, to some extent at any rate, protec.
ton to their interests.
Considering the gravity of the issues in
yolved it will be seen that the vote was
one of the most important taken in Par
lament for long time. The cotton-spin-
ners were defeated. Free trade was set
aside in the house of its friends The be-
ginning OF a protective system for India

ALL THE NEWS.

In the publication of news and of in
formation of timely value, newspaper is
successful exactly in proportion to the
number of men of observation and expe-
rience whom it can bring into the service
OF collecting news and preparing it for the
easy comprehension of the reader
The CALL recognizes this truth and,
while eager to make all of its reports accu-
rate, comprehensive and concise, is
especially DESTROYS of doing so in respect
to matters relating to the more important
business and the greater industries of the
State. We intend to publish mining news
in the way that miners would have it pub
ished, farming news as farmers prefer it.

events of every trade in such manner
that they will be interesting and instruct

know what it is and what it ought to be.
and who therefore will be most capable of
approaching the service which we hope to
render by making industrial news so i'm

To carry our intention to success we
must of course have the aid of men of
acknowledged authority in each line of
business, and in addition to them the
whole host of observing, clear-thinking
men who can gather up items in their To-
calities which will be of interest to persons
in that line of industry all over the State.
OF course we cannot promise to publish
everything that is sent in, nor indeed any
of it IN exactly the shape it is sent in, for
there mast be classification and condensa-
ton in the arrangement of all news for
publication, but so far as it promises to be
of advantage to the industry or of interest
to the reader, it will be published.
Our policy is to make the CALL a COM
plete record of the industries of the Pacific
Coast and particularly of California. We
aim at this, not for advertising, but news.
Having shaken off the fakes and the lot
teries, we propose to expand the field of
legitimate journalism over the whole area
OF contemporary action. We need assist

UNITED HEBREW CHARITIES.
PROPOSED SCHEME TO REORGANIZE
THE DISTRIBUTION OF
AIMS.
MANY PROMINENT 1SRAELITES
AGITATING-DR. NIETO GIVES
HIS VIEWS.

A proposition is on foot among the He
brews of this city, which, if carried to the
desired result, will entirely revolutlonlze
the work of their secular charity organlza-
tons.
There are some half dozen institutions
which have for their object the relief of
the poor of the Jewish faith. They are the
Eureka Benevolent Society, the First
Hebrew Benevolent, the Emanuel Sister
hood, the Jewish Alliance, the Ladies'
Hebrew Benevolent and the Holy Order.
The last named is society for giving free
burial to INDECENT Israelites.
In order to give greater efficiency to the
work OF Jewish charity it is proposed to
bring all these organizations under one
common head and to appoint rota COM
mlttees, so that deserving cases may be
quickly dealt with. 1t is felt that the pres
ent system of holding weekly meetings is
unsatisfactory. The rota committee will,
therefore, meet every day. and each society
will contribute its pro rata share for the
relief OF the needy.
Frlnclpal among many prominent
Hebrews, who are agitating for the change
are a. Anspacher, president of the Temple
EMANUEL, and Philip Lilienthal of the
Anglo-California Bank. Rabbis Voorsan-
the scheme, and in the current issues of
the Jewish press express their favorable
opinions at length.
Rabbi NietO spoke of the necessity for
United Hebrew Charity" some two
years ago, when on 4 visit to the city and
before his election to the rabbinate of the
Iaylor-street synagogue. He said yester-
day: Each society, as heretofore, will
still remain distinct and separate with it's
own committee. The only difference will
be that, instead of acting separately, they
will work jointly and the secretary OF each
society will be present at every rota meet
ing.
THE scheme was suggested some years
ago" continued DR.. Niet0, ''but it is said
that the officers of various societies i'm
aglned that concerted action might mean
the extinction Of their official dignity and
they therefore opposed the project. An
other reason for the defeat of the PROPOSE
ton was the idea which was then promul-
gated that each society should be repre-
scented in the grand committee by num-
Der of members in ratio to the amount of
money funded to its account. This, of
course, would leave the smaller societies
very much in the minority, but think
this difficulty has now been overcome, and
the United Hebrew Charities of San Fran
cisco will soon be an accomplished fact"

DENOUNOING EXTRAVAGANZA.

Because we have denounced the extrava-
gance of the Legislature, and in doing so
have not hesitated to fix upon the Repub-
ican majority the responsibility for that
extravaganza, certain persons have had
the impudence to question whether the
CALL is a Republican newspaper. In the
Judgment of these people the Republican
press ought to defend every action of every
office-holder who calls himself Repub-
lican, even if in doing so it has to ignore
the pledges of the party platform and be
false to every tradition and every principle
that lifts Republicanism above the domain
of the boss and the spokesman and gives it
the dignity of political philosophy and
an exalted craftsmanship.
1t is because the CALL is genuine, stall
wart, thorough Republican news
paper that it is SO earnest, vigorous and
fearless in upholding the principles and
the pledges of the party against those petty
politicians who would ignore the one and
violate the other for the sake of saving a
few dollars by paying a campaign debt out
OF the public treasury. From whom, pray,
have the common people learned to honor
the Republican party2 Was it from Lin
boss who packed primary? Was it from
Grant, who led our armies to victory, or
from some ward-striker who led his gang to
the polls? Was it from James G. Blaine,
who formulated into definite statesman
ship the great policy of America for Ameri-
cans, or was it from some fellow who prac-
ticed the precept, 1.-THE biggest hog gets
the most swilP'?
Such questions answer themselves. Re-
publicanism is body of political truth
applied to statecraft. 1t is a matter of
great principles, exemplifed practically in
the most glorious pages of our history. A
man is Republican exactly in proportion
as he is faithful TO these principles and
earnest in his efforts to continue them in
practice. We do not count him Republi-
can who is less devoted to the principles
and the pledges OF the party than he is to a
useless attache. The man who repudiates
party pledge distinctly made to the peo-
pie, virtually repudiates the party itself and
by the party will he be repudiated. The
rank and file of the Republicans of the
State unite with the CALL in denouncing
the extravaganza of the Legislature, and
they are never more true and loyal to Re
publicanism than when they are doing SO.
