NO FUNDS FOR FIESTA

AS soon as the report of the Finance
Committee, allowing $1,000 to the Mer-
chants Association, was read, Mr.. Mey-
berg stepped forward and said:
1.-The merchants of this city nightly
leave their homes and neglect their bust
ness to further the Fiesta, believing that
it will be of untold benefit to Los Ange-
les. The celebration last year helped us,
as it gave us extensive advertising, and
this years celebration will be a much bet
ter demonstration.
1.-The funds are not coming in as rapidly
as we had anticipated, and if the $1,000 is
voted by the Council it will show the
people that the city favors the scheme
and then l think that contributions will
come in much more rapidly"
nance Committee of the Merchants Asso-
citation. also addressed the Council and
urged that the money be voted. He said
that if it was not full weeks celebra-
ton could not be given, and the pro-
gramme would have to be reduced to
three days.
Mr. Kingery opposed the proposition,
claiming that the city's funds are too low
and the money is needed for other pur-
poses. The school fund is short and men
are starving in the streets for want of
work and the Council cannot give it to
them for the reason that it has not the
money. "The Fiesta is a luxury" said
wanted for the parks or some permanent
improvement | would not object.
Mr. Meyberg again came forward and
said that the money would all be spent IN
Los Angeles, and would be used in the
most part to give employment to the de-
serving and needy.
Mr.. Stockwell also said that he would
not vote for $1,000. and Mr.. Pesscll said
that he would not either, but would for
an appropriation of $500.
A vote was taken and the recommends
ton OF the Finance Committee was lost
by vote of 6 to g. Messrs. Blanchard.

the recommendation.

WHEN sHOUP WAS CHOSEN.
Sweets Followers Convinced He Could
Not BE Elected.

Sweets Followers Convinced He Could
Not BE Elected.
BOISE, Idaho, March S.-The turn in the
tide in the United States senatorial con-
test yesterday came when the name OF
Representative Clark, the first Mormon
member to vote, was called. He rose and
announced that he was satisfied that Sweet
could not be elected and in order that
Idaho should have it's full representation
in the United States Senate he would vote
for his second choice, Shoup. The remain
ing five Mormon members voted for Shoup
in their turn. The absence of Hanrahan,
populiSt, made twenty-Seven a majority.
The Sweet supporters cannot conceal
their disappointment and a number or
them openly charge corruption in connec-
ton with the change of front on the part
of the Mormons which resulted in several
street fights during the night.
Sweet when seen refused to make any
statement.
Governor Mcconnell. speaking of the sem
atorial contest and the election of Shoup.
said: The defeat of Sweet and the elec-
ton of Shoup or some other candidate was
a foregone conclusion when Is out of the
30 representatives refused to go into eau
Gus with their party sooner than take the
chances of his election. Sweet owes his de-
feat not to any preferenced opposition
which any one entertained for him. but en-
tirely to the fact that he was put forward
by Senator Dubois as means of advanc-
ing his DuboiS) own interests two years
hence, and the lieutenantS with which Du-
bois surrounded Sweet during the entire
campaign contributed more to the defeat
Of Sweet than anything else.
1T is fortunate for the state and to the
whole country that Shoup has been re-
elected He is a staunch friend of silver,
an ardent supporter of the republican the
ory of protection of American industries
and American labor. While those who
were engaged In the contest and who have
failed to secure the election of their IA
vorites will naturally feel a little sore over
their disappointment. they will return to
their homes realizing that in Senator Shoup
the state of Idaho has secured an able and
reliable champion. His election insures q
republican victory two years hence"

THE INCOME TAX CASE.
MIR. Gufhric Continues His Argument
Bef0re the Supreme Court

4
Before the supreme Court.
There was an unusual attendance of spec
tators in the Supreme Court of the United
States today when the court convened Mr.
Guthrie resumed his argument for the ap-
pellants in the income tax cases. He took
up the case where he left off yesterday.
discussing the bearing Of the fifth amend
ment to the Constitution in its bearing
upon the cases, and also referring to other
constitutional provisions. He also review
ed some other points made his address
yesterday, and among other things referred
again to the exemption of educational
charitable and church institutions, and he
stated that while counsel for the appel
lantS did not purpose giving especial atten-
ton to these exceptions to the law they
did not desire that it should be understood
that they left them unchallenged. On the
contrary, he said, they held that the mat
ter of regulating such taxes should be left
to the various states.
The Fifth Constitutional Amendment
Referring to the fifth constitutional
amendment, he said its provision that no
person should be deprived of life liberty
or property without due process of law
had been made for the protection of the
people against undue Entertainments He
contended that any law which would i'm
pose a tax on one class of people and not
on another was in direct contradiction of
this amendment, in that the collection of
such a tax, irregularly and unevenly lev
led. was equal to the deprivation of the
first class of their property without due
process of law.
Taxation of Corporations.
He then returned to the discussion of
the question Of the taxation of corpora
tions in a different way from which in
dividuals were taxed, and said this was
the point of transcendent Importance in
the cases, reasserting that the property of
any corporation was the property of the
individuals composing it. When the ques-
tion was up in the Senate the point was
made, he said, by Senator Platt that many
corporations were composed of people of
limited means.
In had for centuries been the policy ell
over the world to encourage the formation
of corporations. and this policy was cne
which had fostered commerce, because of
the personal immunity secured under them.
The Power of Congress.
He asserted that If Congress was per-
mitted to discriminate against corpora
tions. as in the income tax law, they would
virtually have the power to nullify the
right of states to create corporations -.
admitted that under the decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United States the
states had the privilege of imposing un-
even taxes against corpora tions, but that
he had failed to find any decision granting
the right Of this discrimination to the fed
eral government Congress could not tax
the mere privilege Of existence as a cor
poration.

States submitted by Bayard Had the mat
ter been kept reasonably quiet, it is said,
Salisbury might have consented to some
arrangement which would have "let Vene-
zuela down easy" But the alleged de-
mands of the United States have been
made public on all sides, and this has
forced Salisbury to act.
A cable from London says: Summed
up briefly the attitude of the English
press and people towards Venezuela is
one of conscious righteousness and calm
serenity. 1t is everywhere accepted here
that the British claims are perfectly justi-
fled and complete confidence in the firm
ness of the Government is expressed
Hints have been thrown out for some time
past that the Marquis Of Salisbury will
stand no nonsense from the Venezuelan
Government and consequently the an
nouncement of the st. James Gazette that
the Premier had sent an ultimatum to
President Crespo caused but little sur
prise. AS is the case of Nicaragua, every
body expects this latest ultimatum will
have the desired effect without the neces-
sity of recourse TO the arbitrament of
arms"
An official statement from the Vene-
zuelan foreign Office covers the policy of
Venezuela in case the British attempt to
build the military road recommended by
British Minister Chamberlain in his let
ter to Gov. Lees, of British Guiana. The
Venezuelan statement closes with the sig
nificant sentence that on the question of
building this road the course of Venezuela
has been such that the Invading neigh
bors" cannot make another step further
''on the Venezuela side of the line" with
out at once provoking collision.

Next is that somebody will have to
''Hunk" or fight. That is next. There
may be a series of diplomatic pour par
lers, but they will be only the preliminary
to the ''fiunk" or fight.
While officials and diplomats in Wash
ington do not go to the extent of saying
that war is probable or even possible be-
tween this country and Great Britain,
they do not see how il can be avoided
without the complete humiliation of one
of the two countries. If Great Britain
proceeds to enforce its threats against
Venezuela that country will undoubtedly
resist, and then the United States will
either have to stand by the theories OF
President Monroe as they are now inter-
pretated or drop that Interpretation. 1t
is well known that Venezuela has been
preparing for this event for some time,
and the belief is general that as soon as
Congress meets in Washington SO that the
President can secure immediate co-opera-
ton the Venezuelans will make a bold
move to occupy the disputed territory, re-
lying on help from Uncle Sam. The news
has been of such character that there
is talk already of a special session of
Congress to assist the President in ''main-
tanning the integrity of American SOIL
British View of the Matter.
There are intimations that the British
Government would at first have been in
clined to take no active steps, pending the
consideration of the note from the United
