The election to determine the refunding
of the school bonds, amounting to $4,000,
due next month, was held to-day. The
voting was very quiet, and except for the
little red flags outside the booths and the
closing of the saloons there was no evil
dence that an election was in progress.
The vote was announced by o'clock,
and showed that nearly three votes out of
four were for the bonds.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-01
The result bv wards was as follows:

The bonds therefore carried with 404
votes to spare. The success of the refund
ing proposition simply means that the city
will continue to carry the debt, and that
the unsual amount of public improve
ments will be carried on. Had the meas
ure failed of success the result would have
been disastrous on every hand.

A ROAD TO STOCKTON.
Eastern Capitalists Confer With the
Board of Trade.

A meeting of the Oakland Board of Trade
was held this afternoon, at which Judge
Simonds of Chicago laid before the men,
bers proposition that may possibly end
in the building of a railroad from Oakland
to Stockton. Mr.. Smonds and Mr.. KEN
bic have been upon the coast a long time,
and have been comforting with capitalists
in Oakland and San Jose.
Judge Simonds is merely promoter
and the proposition he makes to business
men in Oakland is based on contracts
which he holds with Eastern capitalists
and railroad builders. One of these is
with the Drake & Stratton Company of
Philadelphia. In a general way the prop
ositiOn the promoters are authorized to
make is this: a local company is to be
organized here to acquire franchises, rights
of way. ETC., and subscribe for a certain
amount of stock. This would enable the
floating of bonds, and the contracting
company would take the bonds and build
the road.
A great deal of secrecy is being observed
by the promoters, but in few days, it is
stated, organization papers will be filed
and the company fairly launch

lar, when the bonds do not
stipulate that they are to be re-
deemed in gold. The wisdom
of the trainers Of the national
democratic platform adopted
in 1892 in demanding that all
currency shall be keptat par,
becomes more apparent with
the study ofthe financial ques-
ton in its different phases.
The cogent and terse reason
for the demand of a parity
between all metals is stated
in the following language
"We insist upon this policy
as especially necessary for the
protection of the farmers
and laboring classes, the first
and most defenseless victims
Of unstable money and fuc-
tuating currency" But few
farmers, owing to their resi-
ding miles from the post Of
fees, have access to the daily
papers, and for that reason
could not keep posted as to the
value of money if this cOun-
try had an unstable and
fluctuafing currency, and
would therefore be prey to
sharpers. The lives of wage
earners are usually busy ones,
and because of this fact they
too would be victimized in
the event of the currency OF
the country not being stable.
The true friends Of silver are
those who oppose measures
that would result in it's de-
probation, and the friends OF
farmers and laboring men are
those who favor u sound
and stable currency, which
on being received will not
depreciate in value before be-
ing exchanged.

Land GRANTEES.

Jackson, Tenn, July 1.-THE
land office for West Tennessee was
established at Jackson, Jan. l.,
1926. During the war between the
states, volumes belonging to the of.
fee were lost or destroyed. Quite
recently two whole books and part
of one other have been found.
These books contain the only recOr-
ded evidences of title to thousands
of tracts of land throughout West
Tennessee. Frequent applications
have been made for copies OF grants
embraced in the lost volumes
which could not, until now, be fur
nished.
When information is wanted,
much time and trouble would be sa
we'd by giving, in addition to the
name of the party to whom the
grant was issued, the number oil
grants if known, the date of isSu.
ance as near as possible, and the
number of acres and the county il
which the land is situated. All
grants issued prior to Jan. l, 1926
were recorded at Nashville.

The Bolivar Bulletin undertakes
to read the Record out of the dem
ocratic party. A paper that issues
a Wall Street Reform Club supple
ment is in very poor plight to read
anybody out of the democratic par
ty. If this reform club organ
would look after their own BALI

sed to reside we think they would
have plenty to do.-Tipton Record.

state its opinion "a to the
"plight" the editors of news

when they become agents for

ciatcd through national dem

coming agents for populite

courts a decision by an unbi-

mentioned England in con-
nection with "Wall Street"

IL recent speech delivered by
Sec'y Hoke Smith at Columbus, Ga.
in addressing himself to the wage
earners present, said that a prOmi-
nent railroad president, interested
in a Mexican railroad, declared to
him a few days ago that his reason
for favOring free and unlimited coin
age of silver was due to the fact
that in Mexico his railroad hands re-
ceived In Mexican dollars about
the same number of dollars that he
had to pay for similar work in the
United States; that the Mexican
dollars were worth only half as
much in the United States and there
fore that by free silver he was able
to get his labor for half what it
cost in the United States. This
same railroad president added that,
by the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at 10 to | in the United
States, the pay to employees III the
factories and on the railroads, while
it would amount in dollars to as
much as it does now, would really
be reduced One-half, because the dol
lar would only be worth half as
much, and that this would be great
benefit and was necessarily in the
interest of stockholders of such ell
terprises. When asked why the
companies did not at once reduce wa
ges if this was to happen, the rail
road president replied:
1.-The labor unions are too strong
to let us reduce the pay in dol
lars, but it would take a long time
for them to force up the pay in the
new cheap dollar to twice as many
dollars as they now get"
The argument in chief by
the advocates OF free coinage
of silver ut a ratio of 16 to l is
that silver is the "poor mans
money!" and that none but
the rich would be benefited
by a continuation of the gold !
standard. No clearer, more
convincing refutation Of such
an argument can be presen-
ted than the admission Of the
railroad president alluded to
by Mr.. Smith. The princi-
pal debtors of this country
are the great corporations,
and in the event of this
being cursed by un-
and cheap money the
corporations would not only

THE South has been pecu-

verse in dispensing gentle
end rcyivifying showers upon

gliding of destructive cy-
clones, such as have recently
visited portions of the North

their wake. Year by year
the dependence of the south

North for corn, hay, flour
and meat is decreasing, and
as a consequence their az

are not so large. There is
no doubt but that the condi-

Coal and Iron IN the South.

A careful study of the coal and
iron resources of the South, and of
the progress already made in their
development, leads to the conclu-
sion that the abundance and cheap
ness of these two important arti-
cles, upon which a multitude of our
greatest industries are based, must
inevitably lead to the transfer of
many of them from their present
locations to others in the vicinity of
where these raw materials are pro-
dUced. 1t is one of the industrial
revolutions that will make the
South the home of vast plants for
the manufacture of rails, of stFuct-
ural iron and steel, of water pipes,
and of many other things of large
weight and bulk, in which the ques-
ton OF long hauls is one of grave
economic importance. Worcester

Attention, Aldermen i!

EDITORS BULLETIN-The Board
of Aldermen meets Tuesday night,
and understand it will be petition
ed to abolish the stock law. This
law, which was recently passed at
the request of majority of our cit
liens, provides that cattle, hogs and
dogs shall be kept off of the streets.
Since its enforcement, our town has
certainly presented a more decent
and attractive appearance, and | can
see no good reason why the law
should be repealed. Some claim
that if the hogs were allowed to
roam the streets at will, they would
consume the decaying melon rindS
and other refuse. They look at only
one side of the case; they seem to
forget the filthy wallows and other
annoyances that the hogs would
create. 1t would be much better to
provide barrels or boxes for refuse
matter and have them emptied dali
ly. Country people can now come
to town and feed their teams without
fear of being robbed of their prov
ender by foraging COWS. If the
owner values his stock so little as to
refuse to keep it up and feed it, the
public is under no obligations to
provide for it. To repeal the law
so soon after its passage, without
any valid reason, would look like
child's play. The law is alright,
gentlemen of the Board, and | hope
you will allow it to stand.
