"oRGANIzB" IS THE ORDER.

general meeting of the managers of
the Republican party has been held and
plans agreed upon. That this will be the
most vigorous campaign the party has
ever waged there does not appear to be
any doubt. 1t is understood that it is the
wish of Mr.. Mckinley that the best possi-
bic educational work be done, for the
questions at issue mean so much that no
one should be left to do any guesswork.
The honor and prosperity of the nation
are attacked, and Mir. Mckinley is anxious
that the people should know exactly what
the election of the Democratic Populist
combines candidate would mean to them,
and what the return of the Republican
party to power would mean.
Mr.. Mckinley is no doubt directing in a
general way his campaign. At all events
it looks that way. Mr.. Mckinley believes
the tariff and financial questions should
not be divorced, but at the same time the
fact should be paraded that the financial
depression of the country is due almost
wholly to Democratic tinkering with the
tariff. He believes that no substantial
prosperity can be counted upon until
tariff is adopted that will insure enough
revenue to meet the expenses of the Gov
ernment. Let the faIlacy of Democratic
monetary theories be shown up on every
occasion, but the tariff question should
not be minimiEed. The tariff question
should be made the rallying point, but in
doing that the importance of giving the
country a sound and safe circulating money
medium should not be overlooked.
But what was urged most at the general
meeting of the party's leaders was the I'M
portance OF local organizations. There
should be well-organized club in every
school district. even if there are not more
than half-doZen voters. 1t is from the
neighborhood organization that the coun-
ty. Congressional and State committees
get the forecast" 1t is to be hoped that
the Republicans of California viii, see the
importance of conforming to the wishes of
Mr.. Mckinley, and organize so perfectly
that every Republican voter in the State
will be an active member of some sort of
campaign club.

TAXPAYERS AND TAX-sHIRKERs

The action taken by the Grand Jury to
bring about the prosecution of seven men,
bers OF the Board of Supervisors, and the
mass-meeting held to denounce the con-
QUOT OF those officials, have been beneficial
to the public inasmuch as they have
served to call attention TO the great wrong
done to the taxpayers of the City by the
seven Supervisors in showing undue favors
TO tax-shirking corporations.
1t is not the province of a newspaper to
PREJUDICE cases that are to be tried in the
courts, and The CALL will not attempt to
do so in this case. Whether the indict-
ment will stand or whether sufficient evil
depce legally admissible TO convict is OBJ
tainable are questions we do not care to
enter upon. These are matters for the
courts. There is, however, broader issue
than that which viii be carried into court,
and one on VIII ich there will be accepted
all evidence that carries a moral convic.
ton to fair-mlnded mer. That issue it is
the province of newspapers to present
over and over again and to press insist
emily upon the people. 1t is the issue of
the gross wrong done TO honest taxpayers
when officials, whether from corruption or
from favor, allow dishonest tax shirkers
TO escape their share of the common tax
necessary to maintain the municipality.
That the favored tax-shirkers in this
case ere rich and powerful corporations
well able TO bear their due share of the
public burdens is an aggravation of the
offense, inasmuch as this favoritism to
those who are we'll able to pay compels a
heavier tax upon those who are less able
to do So That the reduction in assess
ments for taxation of those corporations
was made by officials who had themselves
fixed the valuations of the same property
at millions of dollars more when estab-
fishing the rates of charges to be made
upon the public was also an aggravation,
inasmuch as it showed shameless disre-
gard for even a pretense at fair dealing
These two aggravations OF a wrong origin
ally serious enough to fairly justify the
term robbery have raised it to a point
where the absence of public indignation
would imply the absence of public con-
science. To protest against such offenses
is the duty of every citizen and of every
journal that cares anything for the public
welfare or its own good repute.
All protests and resolutions should tend
to some action. The case OF the accused
Supervisors can be left to the courts. The
issue of securing better officials in their
places must be carried to the polls. FIVE
are as people to profit by the lesson
taught by this exhibition of official favor
itism 20 tax-shirkers we must begin to do
so at once. A municipal election is APP
preaching. Good citizens and honest tax
payers must unite to make sure of the
election of honest men. That is the broad
issue before us. Let US unite, work to-
gether and win.

filed the shops with customers aud supplied

1t was protection that gave US such an
abundance of everything that we could send
thousands of shiploads of our bounties for sale
all over the world. Then there was no need TO
maintain the treasury reserve with forced sup
port. Then we did not drain ourselves OF the
standard currency of the world to pay our
obligations abroad, for, instead of sending our
money to foreigners, foreigners sent their
money to us.
Talk, then, of abandoning protection when
all this has been changed by free trade, when
four more years of policy Of bankruptcy and
ruin would mean misery and shame tenfold
