BUFFOONERY WON'T DO.

It pleased the editor Of the Post to pub
fish in his journal on Wednesday state
ment that the proposed bituminous-rock
ordinance, which the Mayor vetoed, had
been opposed by two of its contemporaries
"for the reason, it is said, that they are in
terested in the prescribed bituminous
mines" The CALL being one Of the papers
that opposed the ordinance, promptly re-
sponded that the statement, so far as it
concerned the CALL or its proprietor, was
lie; and furthermore it was added that
''all who made or make such a statement
know in their hearts they are liars"
The response of the Post yesterday was
what we expected 1t attempts to escape
the charge of malicious lying by resort to
buffoonery, and seeks, with an uncertain
1ippancy, to make Jest of integrity. We
are well aware the object of the editor OF
the Post, in prefacing his SANDER with the
words cit is said" was to afford himself a
loophole of escape if charged with origin
ating the lie. We are also aware that the
evasive language of yesterday was wrig-
Cling attempt to reach the loophole. We
do not propose, however, to permit any
such escape for any such offender. Flip
pancy will not serve the purpose of rascal
ity this time, for the point on which the
Post has impaled itself is too sharp to be
wriggled away from by any eel, no matter
how Shiny he may be.
Here is the whole issue. The editor OF
the Post insinuates it has been said by
somebody that the editor and proprietor OF
the CALL opposed the bituminous-rock
ordinance because it was not favorable to a
bituminous-rock mine in which he is in
terested. The CALL plainly declares this
to be lie. The editor of the Post must
now name the man who made the state
ment or he must take the lie to himself
and acknowledge the authorship of a
mean and malicious charge against man
who has never injured him in any way,
but who on the contrary has more than
once helped him and befriended him.
On an issue of this kind there is no room
for flippancy without establishment. The
CALL carries with it an honorable measure
of self-respect. It's traditions have ever
been in accord with the highest principles
of legitimate journalism, and it proposes
to continue on that plane. 1t may please
the Post to make a jest of integrity, to be
flippant when its honor is at stake, to re-
sort to buffoonery and play the fool in
order to avoid responsibility in serious
matters, but it must seek other objects of
attack than the CALL when it chooses to
play that contemplate game. We will
have none of it. We repeat that the Post
has published lie and we are not going to
overlook the meanness of the liar in order
to smile at the buffoon

church. On that day the holy sacrament
is carried in procession from the altar to q
repository which is prepared in the church
and which is decorated with flowers and
Illuminated with candles.
There were large attendances at all the
churches and the feature of the dav was
the interchange of visits between the vari-
Gus parishes by worshipers. The services
in the churches consisted of devotional ex-
ercises.
To-day-Good Friday-the mass of the
presanctifed is celebrated. The blessed
sacrament is taken from the repository
and brought back to the altar and received
by the celebrating priest.
Arrangements have been made for ap-
propriate Good Friday services in all the
churches. The following will be the
speakers at the churches named:
st. Mary's Cathedral, Archbishop Riordan;
old St. Marys, Father Clark; St. Charles,
Father 0'Mahoney; Holy Cross, Father Hugh
O'Neill of st. Joseph's; st. Anthony's, Father
Leo Bruener; st. Joseph's, Father DOran; St..
Ignatius, Father Woods for the Three Hours

floral display in addition to an Interesting
programme of exercises.

PAY IT UNDER PROTEST.

Although the decision of the United
States Supreme Court on the income tax
law leaves in a chaotic state even those
features of the law which have not been
clearly declared unconstitutional, the Fed
eral authorities are preparing to collect the
tax on those incomes not specifically ex-
empted by the decision. This leaves no
option on the part of citizens. They must
pay the tax. But as the decision is not
clear and satisfactory the tax should not
be paid without protest. This would be a
wise precaution and would simplify the
task of recovering the money so paid.
The law, as it has been construed, bears
with particular severity and injustice upon
Californians. For this reason they should
resort to every legal means to secure self
protection and a final adjudication against
the constitutionality of the measure. 1t

of the county, is supposed to have been
formed by the burial of living forest in
great deposition of ashes from St.
Helena, this superimposed envelope in
time silicifying the trees. Then came the
disappearance of the ashes by the erosion
of the rains, leaving the petrified trees
standing, to be overthrown later by earth
quakes.
Many other natural marvels abound IN
this wonderful region, including solid
mountains of obsidian volcanic glass; and
others of columnar basalt, which is mined
and shipped to San Francisco for street
pavements. Living evidences of the origl-
nal volcanic character of the region are
found in the numerous hot springs which
exist in ndmbers in the TANKS OF the
mountains bordering the valley. These
springs are invariably mineral, have
high medicinal value, and are largely WIS.,
tied by seekers for health.
Of more immediate interest than these
natural marvels are those pleasant charms
that make Santa Rosa SO delightful place
of residence, and the intelligence and en-
terprise with which the residents have
made them available. A few years ago
IOdIlId hOSd SET WOIGHJ CAdAhPAN w -
California cities environed by mountains
by constructing a scenic drive to the sum-
nit of the range on the eastern side OF the
city. This is one of the wonders OF the
State. After leaving the cool, rose
embowered, peaceful city, the sightseer
crosses a fine level stretch of valley and by
a winding road ascends the mountain.
From the crest the view is as enchanting
as that from the heights of Redlands. The
noble valley of Sonoma with its splendid
vineyards and orchards stretching to north
and south as far as the eye can see, backed
on the west by the cool-wooded slopes OF
the western range, is a scene worth many
days journey to behold. In the center
of this exquisite picture, set in frame
that has received the most artistic touches
of the Creator, is the city OF Santa Rosa
itself, reposing peacefully amid the groves
which are its own, and taking on an added
charm from the noble features of its en-
vironment

in New England, real property is more
valuable than in California, and hence
yields larger revenue, and the invest
ments of the people there are very largely
in National, State and municipal bonds,
which are exempt from taxation. As we
pointed out in yesterdays issue of the
CALL, the law, under the Supreme Court
construction, places burden on industry
and thrift and exempts those surces OF
revenue in which these qualities exercise
no present activity.
1t is so in all growing communities.
New England is fullgrown. Her resources
have been exploited and the profits OBJ
tanned from their development have been
largely invested in securities which are
exempt from the operation of the income
tax law. California has not yet arrived at
that stage of ripeness, and cannot possibly
reach that point until all her peculiar and
as yet hardly explored natural resources
have been developed. AT present 1t IS
practically virgin soil, yielding generous
returns to industry and experiment, ana
inviting further effort on these lines.
AS the law stands, under the Supreme
Court decision, it discourages industry and
thrift in the new and growing States and
encourages investment in non-taxable Sc
curities, which do not build up commu-
nifty. Manifestly this will operate even IN
the growing communities to retardatlon
of progress, for whenever there IS surplus
capital it will prefer non-taxable to taxable
investment. In short, the law offers
premium to an indolent employment OF
capital and serves as check to those uses
of money which build up community
These considerations clearly indicate the
course which California should pursue.
If the tax has to be paid let 1t be paid
under protest, in order that the protestants
may reserve and preserve every single
point that may go to the protection OF
their individual rights. This, however, Is
only a private and individual duty. OF
greater Importance than it is the duty
which the taxpayers owe to the COM
munity. This means to say that their
attitude toward the law should not
be merely passively negative, but that
there should be an active, organized
movement to test the constitutionality
of the law. A movement of this kind has
been already started in other parts OF the
country, but that is no reason why Cali
fornia should not strengthen the Opposi-
ton with all her united force and energy.
