The democratic platform has no
better plank than mat which calls
for the imposition of an income tax.
o such a tax means that the ex-
ptnses Of the government are to be
horne by the wealth Of the country.
and that tax dodging shall not be
perpetuated. As it is now, the many
are taxed for the support of the few.
n the richer a man gets the less
he has to pay. When we consider
The means by which the mass Of the

ECONOMY NOT INTENDED.
The Gas Company Claims That
the Lamps Are Kept
Burning.
1t Appears That the Original Contract
With the Supervisors Was
Amended.

The San Francisco Gas Company dis
claims any intention of economzing by
having the lamps extinguished before the
hour set forth in the contract with the
City.
In the absence OF J. B. Crockett, the
president of the gaslight company, a gen.
tleman holding subordinate position in
the service of that corporation stated to a
CALL representative that the original con-
tract with the City for the lighting of the
street lamps had been changed at the
company's solicitation to meet the very
complaint mentioned in THE CALL of Tues
day.
The original contractywas as published.
This had been changed by subsequent
resolution of the Supervisors making it
obligatory on the gas company to have the
last lamp on the lamplighter's beat light
ed one hour after sunset instead of one
half hour, and to have the last lamp ex-
tinguished one-half hour before sunrise
instead of one hour, as originally intended.
This" said the gentleman, was done
on purpose to accommodate the men who
have made the complaint, as also bakers,
milkmen ana others whose business takes
them OFT in the early hours OF the morn
ing. And, if it has not been complied
with it is not the fault of the company. |
cannot believe that the lamp-lighters are
so very anxious to get out OF bed an hour
earlier in the morning to extingulsh the
lamps on their routes when it is no benefit

BODY SNATCHERS AT WORK
The Grave of a Lady Desecrated
in Calvary Cemetery
Last Night.
After Digging Down as Far as the
Coffin They Were Evidently Dis.
turbed at Their Work.

A grave in Calvary Cemetery was desc
Grated last night by body-snatchers and
the police are keeping watch on the
place in the hope that they will return
again to finish their ghoulish work.
About 200 feet from the west entrance in
Masonic avenue is the grave of lady who
lived on Page street. Her name could not
be ascerteined last night.
Between 10 and IL o'clock the superin-
tendent of the cemetery was amazed to
discover that the grave had been opened.
All the earth had been removed, leaving
the coffin exposed
Two shoveis were lying beside the open
grave, and the superintendent arrived at
the conclusion that the men had been dis
turbed in their work and had fled, leaving
their shovels behind them.
The superintendent notified Sergeant
Tobin, and he placed two men in hiding
near the grave, in the belief that the men
had gone to bring vehicle, with the OBJ
lect OF carrying away the coffin W ith the
body.
AT II o'clock the two policemen were re-
lieved by two others, with instructions to
keep close watch on the open grave and
arrest any person who went near it.
