The morning call., 1895-02-01
THE WEEKLY GALL.

THE WEEKLY CALL appears this morning,
enlarged, frightened and improved in
every respect. From this time on particu-
lar attention will be given not only to the
news of the week and current miscellany,
but to the great industries of the State and
to all that pertains to the welfare of Cali
fornia
In order that due consideration shall be
given each week to every leading interest
and industry of our people a special de-
partment devoted to each has been estab-
lished and put in charge of a competent ex-
pert and writer on the subject. These
departments include agriculture and horti-
culture, mines and miners, resume of the
markets, religion and fraternal societies.
Each issue will contain, of course, careful
digest of the telegraphic dispatches of the
week and full reports of all news, both at
home and abroad.
In its course the weekly will follow the
daily It's motto is truth, its policy is
progress, its methods are independent, and
its aim is the advancement of California.
In politics it will be a stalwart Republican
newspaper, faithful to the traditions of
party, consistent supporter of its leaders,
and an untiring advocate of its great prin-
ciples and policies. Outside of politics it
will diligently endeavor to upbuild the in
dustries of California and make them
known abroad. 1t will be an independent
and aggressive champion of Pacific Coast
interests and Pacific Coast men; and will
be found in thorough sympathy with every
movement that tends to bring the city and
the interior of the State into harmony and
mutual helpfulness.
As means of advertising in the country
districts and throughout the Union THE
WEEKLY CALL will offer many advantages.
As the subscription is fixed at the low rate
of 81 so year every well-to-do family in
the State can afford not only copy for
home reading, but one to send to their
Eastern friends as a complimentary gift
and as means of making known to them
the resources and advantages of the State.
1t is our intention to make THE WEEKLY
CALL d marked force in Pacific Coast jour
nalism, and as an evidence of what we
propose in that direction we invite special
attention to the issue that appears this
morning.
The morning call., 1895-02-01
USELESS COMMISSIONS.

In the task of providing for retrenchment
in State expenditures the earnest repre-
sentatives of the people at Sacramento
cannot overlook the useless commissions,
the cost of whose maintenance is heavy
burden upon the people. 1t will not be
enough to reduce the expenses of these
commissions. They must be abolished
utterly. What does no good does harm.
Economy does not mean merely the saving
of few dollars, but the stoppage of waste
wherever it is going on.
The Railroad Commission is inefficient.
AS means of regulating freights and fares
it is worthless. 1t has done nothing to
commend itself to the taxpayers, and it
matters not what reasons or excuses may
be asserted or pleaded for its imbecility.
So far as that issue is concerned, no one
cares whether the commission has failed
because the members were subservient to
the railroad, because they were inexperi-
enced and incompetent, or because the law
does not give them power to act. 1t is
sufficient that they have been tried in the
balance and found wanting. The commits
sion is fraud upon the people, and the
only way to remedy it is to sweep it away
altogether.
The Viticultural and the Horticultural
are also commissions that the State can
better spare than keep. Ask the people of
the State engaged in these industries what
good they have done, and the answer will
show that public opinion in their special
lines of work has already condemned them.
Whatever activity they may have shown
in any direction has been a useless activity.
The State has no need for them. 1t has
need for the money. They are cumber-
some costly and worthless; let them go.
The removal of these commissions does
not imply that there will be nothing to
take their places and perform the work
they were designed to do. The regulation
of freights and fares, after the abolition
of the Railroad Commission, can be safely
left to the operation Of the law of competi-
ton. The Legislature heed not concern
itself with the subject. If freight rates
are too high or the railway service made
quate in any way the proper remedy is to
build competing lines; and now that the
people have been aroused to this truth we
need no longer so to the cost of maintain
ing an expensive commission to do a work
that it has not done and will not do. The
remedy, we repeat, is to build competing
roads, and the man who stands in the
way, should be branded as public enemy.
AS for the work expected of the Horti-
cultural and Viticultural commissions, it
is done already by the Agricultural De-
partment of the State University. The
experimental stations are doing what is
needed in this line and if further develop
ment is desired the money should go to
the State University. There will be no
loss therefore, if these commissions are
removed, and any system of retrenchment
will be incomplete that does not abolish
