for valuable assistance.
The following committee was appointed
to revise the constitution and bylaws and

his position to create necessity to the
people and then reap personal profit of
honest in his intentions, but the fortune
of $10,000,000 made by, him is almost
enough to make the people doubt it.
The speaker then smoke OF the necessity
of protective tariff to American labor.
He also favored a restricted immigration
and urged that foreign born citizens who
had affiliated with Americans in the true
sense of the word should join in the effort
to prevent the Introduction of all COM
peting elements.
f. f.. Powers, Assemblyman from the

experimenting with the bread and butter
of sc, 0OO, 600 people, and all they have sue

Both speakers were very warmly ap-
plauded. Several lmpromptu speeches
were made by members of the club.
Arrangements were made to turn out
next Saturday night $50 strong. The Pre-.
sidio band will head the club. Thomas w.
Roulette will act as marshall.

TO VETO THE ORDINANCE.

The Mayor Not in Favor of LIcens-
ing p hysiCaI-Culture Contests.
Acting Mayor Taylor will veto the ordi-
nance recently passed by the Board of
Supervisors licensing boxing exhibitions
and taking the power of granting permits
for the same out of the hands of the Mayor
and vesting it in the board. Mayor Taylor
opposed the measure when it was before
the board, and his action in refusing to
affix his signature TO the order is not I'M
expected.
Colonel Taylor has two principal reasons
for opposing the ordinance.
The first is that he believes that the
board has exceeded its authority in pass
ing it in that it has assumed the duties of
the executive head OF the City government
after having acted as the legislative head.
He holds that as the board exercises the
legislative right to pass an ordinance
licensing the contests it has no right to
the executive privilege of saying what ex-
hibitions shall receive the necessary per-
mission.
The second reason is that the ordinance
is illegal inasmuch as it licenses a contest
that the law of the State says is felony
namely, a prizetight.
He takes the ground that the so-called
physical culture exhibitions are nothing
but fights for the money that is paid by
the audience for admission. He speaks of
the numerous knockouts that have oc-
CURED as evidence that skill is not so
much the point as brute force and desire
to win the money at stake by the quickest
means possible.
1t is probable that the veto of the acting
Mayor will be sustained, iIasmuch as he
has three mem bers of the board on his
side. When the matter first came up Su-
pervisors Spreckels and Dimond Joined
him in opposing it. Supervisor Hobbs
was absent at that time, but is believed to
be with the acting Mayor on the PROPOSE
ton. AS it requires nine votes to pass
any measure over the Mayors veto, the
ordinance seems doomed to fall
The veto, however, will only affect con-
tests subsequent to the Corbett- Sharkey
affair.

James S. Reynolds Talks to the Mem.
bers of the Good Samaritan
Mission

James S. Reynolds spoke at the Good
Samaritan Mission, 249 Second street, last
evening on the "Single Tax" The talk
was an informal one and was listened to
with interest by number of men who are
i'll the habit of gathering at the rooms of
the mission every evening. Rev. w. l.
Kip, who is in charge of the mission, in
troduced the speaker, saying that Mr.
Reynolds could tell them much of a re-
form that would interest both those who
had deep pockets and those who had no
pockets at all. In the course of his talk
Mr.. Reynolds said:
"Never before has there been so much
wealth and at the same time SO much pow
erty. 1t follows, therefore, that never be-
sore has there been such need for mea-
sures to abolish poverty. 1t is not neces-
sary for me to say that there is something
wrong. You have ocular demonstration
of actual want and the brutaliZing fear of
want. Why is there such want? Can we
suppose that Divine Creator has ordained
it? 1t is blasphemy to say so. Nor is it
through individual faults and faiIings, for
poverty overtakes all classes. The trou-
BILE is an institution in this coun try main
tanned by law.
81 do not pretend TO say that intemper-
ance and other vices do not cause poverty.
ID.
but it is not the cause of the present wide
spread restitution. But | am to speak of
the single tax, which you doubtless would
rather hear about than poverty.
Every body knows that the rental value
of any piece of land is just in proportion to
the capacity of that piece of land to pro-
duce wealth by the application of human
labor to it. And hence there is an infinite
variety of such values in the form of rents-
ground rent not rent In its pODuiar mean
ing of rent from Improvements.
'This is fundamental fact and one so
simple that every man should see 1t merely
by opening his eyes. Now the single tax
proposes TO take the ground rent for the
purposes of society and to leave to each
man untouched the fruit of his labor.
Every public improvement increases
land values. Then why not take one for
the other? If the ground rent from land
values is sufficient for public improve
ments, why tax men further to pay for the
Improvements?
''These facts show in a rambling way
what is the matter The trouble is that
we have gone wrong. All that is neces-
sary to reform matters is TO repeal some of
our laws, ana things will reform them
selves. The constitution of this State de-
clares that everything must he taxed. The
only way for us to attain our end is to lop
off one tax after another. As the number
of taxes decreases the amount on those left.
is increased. Continue this process of
looping off the taxes until none but a
single tax upon land values is left. and the
end which we seek is thus realized.
Besides Mr.. Reynolds talk the following
musical programme was rendered: Piano
solo, George III. King; tenor solo. Edgar
Cameron; duet, George H. King and Miss
Flora King; duet Misses Forrest and Hill.
