WHY DO THEY REFUSE TO GIVE
BUSINESS GUARANTEES

There is not business intelligence in
the State of California to-day that would
bargain away any of its rights as it is pro-
posed that the State shall do in this So
called lease to the San Joaquin Valley
Railroad Company. Let it be understood
that, waving the serious question of the
constitutionality of the procedure, there
is not, and should not be, any opposition
to the building of the road. By all means
the road should be constructed. Nothing
will more tend to the satisfactory and
permanent settlement of issues raised by
railroad antagonists against the policy of
existing lines than will the operation of
this proposed new line. For as surely as
the sun shines it will come down to busi-
ness methods when once it begins busi-
ness. and will demonstrate that railroads
are no more built for philanthropic rea-
sons than that the selling of boots and
shoes is carried on for the public benefit
regardless of the interests of the merchant
But because this railroad should be
built is no reason whatever for building
1t in whole or in any part with the money
Of the taxpayers of the State, even if it
werelawful to do SO. If. therefore, State
aid is given to the company by indirec-
ton, the rights of the people will have
been violated and ignored by the Legis-
lature. To grant terminal privileges and
surrender lands of the State to the COM
pany without fair compensation and all
due safeguards, such as we're indicated in
these columns yesterday, will be to betray
solemn trusts committed to legislators.
Whatever the Legislature is prepared
to grant to any other comers who make
agood showing, and as fully testify to
good faith. it may grant to the San Joa-
quin Valley Company. But it is dis
nnctly announced by the proponents of
the scheme in the Legislature at this time
that it is discriminating, partial, and pur-
posely so; that the same privileges would
not be guaranteed any other equally as
good conner; that in this instance it is the
distinct purpose to extend State aid by
indlrection, with full knowledge of the
fact that it cannot be given directly.
In other words. under the delusion that
by their action these proponents will be
furnishing the Southern Pacific Com

THE HORTICULTURAL BILLs-wISE
ACTION.

The wiser judgment has prevailed and
the bill in the Assembly to disorganize
the State Board of Horticulture was yes
terday withdrawn. We do not for mo-
ment doubt the sincerity of the gentle
men who proposed and advocated it. Un-
doubtedly they believed that the bill was
in the direction of economy, and that the
State University was prepared to assume
the functions of the State Board of Horti-
University did not desire the task, and
was not instrumental in proposing or ad-
vancing it. The University did wish for
the transfer of viticultural and the for
estry duties, and properly so.
In this connection we call the attention
of the Legislature to the fact that unless
the bill providing the necessary SIC, 900
for the work of the board for the next
two years is passed. this valuable agency
for the promotion and protection of horti-
cultural interests will be unable to ac-
complish anything. On the assumption
that the board was to be abolished the ap-
preparation was omitted from the general
appropriation bill. 1t must now be pro-
vided for, of course, and there should be
diligence practiced in seeing that it is
done.
Money appropriated for the home
work of the board cannot be used out
side of the State, hence the bill now
pending providing $1,000 for the dispatch
of an agent to secure further supply and
greater variety of parasites for the de-
struction of the insect pests that are the
bane of our horticultural interests. In
any case this must have been attended to,
whether the board was retained or abol-
ished.
The best investment the State ever
made was when it used means for simi-
lar purpose in the first instance. The
present supply of these parasites is in
adequate to the growth of fruit inter-
ests, and it is also necessary to find other
varieties to battle with newly developin g
insect enemies. 1t is a fixed principle
that wherever pestiferous insects ap-
pear, somewhere there is parasite that
will prey upon and destroy them. 1t is
wise provision of nature that it always
compensates for natural losses.
But all these parasites are of foreign
origin to California, and we cannot OBJ
tain them without search abroad and pro-
vision for their introduction and cultiva-
ton. Nothing is better established than
this, that the fruit insect pests cannot be
fought with entire success by spraying
alone. We must utilize the natural RENE
dies, and the parasites are the only
known ones. It is of first importance,
therefore, that the bill providing for Sc
curing and shipping and cultivating them
shall pass at once.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN.
TIOE.

The fact that one of the houses of the
Legislature has declined to agree to the
erection of Board of Jurists to codify
the laws and get the statutes into such
order that they can be easily understood,
indicates, we take it, that there is convic-
ton that it will be wiser to call a con-
stitutional convention.
Had there not been growth of iudg-
ment in that direction. surely the propo-
sition to re-codify the laws would have
prevailed. But if there is to be a consti-
tutional convention, then codification
should perhaps await the reformation
of the organic law, the Kidding of the
Constitution OF its mass of legislation
and its reduction to a declaration of
principles.
We take it, therefore, that the Legisla-
ture is strongly disposed to adopt the
proposition for constitutional conven-
ton, as it ought to be. If then. the con-
vention is called, the sooner the better.
When two-thirds of the members of
the Legislature vote to submit the ques-
ton of constitutional convention the
submission cannot be had until the next
general election, which will not occur
until the fall of 1896. The Legislature
that next assemblies, namely in 1897 is
to provide fer the meeting of the con-
Vention if the people order it, and there
fore there can be no meeting of such
convention until the early summer of
1897 at the best. So that if there is not
now passed resolution of submission
it will be impossible to hold a convention
before the early summer of 1899, post
ponement of four years and more.
1t must therefore seriously impress the
Legislature that it is wise to submit the
proposition for a convention at the next
general election, namely in 1896, that

WHAT TO DO AND NOT DO.

Inc San Francisco Examiner. that oble
expounder of constitutional law, de-
fender of human rights, and champion of
the people-when it sees gain to itself
has these fine propositions:
The duty of the Senate, therefore, is simple,
1t is this:
1. Give the San Joaquin Valley Railroad
everything it asks for.
z. Don't give anything to any corporation
except the san Joaquin Valley Railroad
3. Do whatever is to be done quickly.
But we apprehend that these advisory
lines would read more in consonance
with the Constitution and reason if made
TO sound in this way:
l. Give no railroad company any,
thing. The State is forbidden by its or
'ganic law to give away the property OF
the people directly, or by indirection.
2. Give nothing to the San JOAQUIN
Railroad Company that may not with
equal justice and propriety be granted to
any other corporate body, since the State
cannot afford to do injustice.
3. Do not do what is to be done
quickly, but with deliberation, and the
calm and dignity befitting the represen-
tative body of the people, and the doing
Of exact justice by the guardians of the
property of the people.

WORTH, the man dressmaker and dress
designer, is dead and the world of fash
ion mourns. If Worth had anything to
do with the big hat nuisance, we say well
dead; if not, we cover his departure with
the mantle of charity and remain silent.
But there is this to be said for Worth, he
cultivated artistic tastes. In his designs
the rules of art were not violated. He
did much to conserve among women a
love for the graceful and the poetic in
costumery, and for that let his memory
have credit.

THE battle in the Indiana Legislature
proves that the Hoosier~ has lost nothing
of his pugnacious characteristics. 1t was
all very disgraceful, to be sure. that such
scene should have been witnessed in
the deliberative body of a sovereign
State. But Indiana does not stand alone
in the record of disgraceful legislative
procedure. In more than one other State
have there been scenes of turbulence and
riot, the drawing of weapons and the
