Investigation showed us that this

generally kept in country stores, at
wholesale prices or about what our
country merchants would have to
pay, but on other goods, the price
was far above what the same goods
were quoted at in Salt Lake and

close who has been right and who wrong
in this controversy.
In connection with the Grand Jury
it was shown how they had COM
pounded felonies in failing to return
indictments against three Justices of
the Peace, who had been guilty of col
lecting Illegal fees to the amount of
several hundred dollars in each in
stance.
Further investigation of these mat
ters showed that the District Attorney,
3. A. Harrington, a brother of one of
the Justices named, had been derelict
in the discharge of his duties. 1t is
his duty to approve or disapprove the
bills of the Justices before they are
submitted to the Board of Supervisors
for passage. In no case had an Illegal
item been stricken out or disapproved
in the Office of the District Attorney.
When he was asked to explain this he
entered upon defense of the accused
Justices, and made a special plea for
them. He also intimated that if he
were criticized he would go cunning
for somebody. He didn't, however

roborated all the statements that had
been published in The Call up to that
time.
While making an investigation of the
affairs of the city of San Jose. as man
aged by the present Council and the
Mayor, some peculiar transactions
were brought to light. These involved
Mayor Valentine Koch in a felonious
act, and the four Councilmen, George
B. Dittus, ]. p. Fay, julius Krieg and
William T. Noting in a proceeding
which makes them liable to removal
from office. About two months ago
the Council passed and the Mayor ap-
proved a claim for $3.50 in favor of
Contractor Charles Wehner for extra
work done on the main outlet sewer.
This was done in violation of the char
ter, which provides that all work in
excess of 800 shall be advertised for
and let by contract to the lowest and
best bidder. On being made aware
that he was liable to be prosecuted for
this violation of the charter the Mayor
induced Wehner to return the $3.50 that
had been irregularly paid him, and
then destroyed the claim and the war
rant-both public records-and thus
committed an act that is punishable
under the Penal Code by Imprisonment
in the State prison for from one to
fourteen years.
Later the claim was again passed by
the Council by unanimous vote, and
in this proceeding they willfully passed
a claim that they knew was illegal
making themselves liable to custer
The San Francisco call., 1897-12-19

These figures show that while the as
sessed valuation of property has
doubled during this period the rate of
taxation has increased from S5 cents
per 800 to 81 25, or nearly so per cent,
and that during one year it had
reached 81 40 per 500. And this, too,
in the face of the claim generally ad
mitted that all property in Santa Clara
County is assessed too high in proper
tion to the assessments made in other
counties. Were the city's assessment
lower, as it is held it should be, the
tax rate would be necessarily higher.
But the pecuniary loss to the COM
munity is but the least of the evils, as
the situation is viewed by the intelH-
gent and decent people. The Doodle
machine, for it is not a party affair
has been building so long and its rami-
fications are so widespread that those
who constructed it have come to con-
slider that it is omnipotent in the af-
fairs of the county, not alone in poll
tics and in public affairs, but in private
matters.
Its methods are such that men who
refuse to allow the gang to debauch
their morals are prosecuted until they
either surrender or are ruined. So well
is this understood that really good and
fit men have been largely deferred for
some years past from going into poll
tics. When the gang seeks to accom-
plish anything consideration or mercy
for the intended victim or the instru-
ment of punishment have no place in
| its vocabulary. And once a man has
erred in the interests of the boodIers he
must needs become one of them for all
time. So long as an individual serves
the purpose of the boss" he is al
| lowed TO pursue his way without mo-
| lestation. But let him attempt to call
his mind or his soul his own, and there
| after, until he goes back into the fold

companies. Thousands upon thousands
of acres of rich soil suitable for vines and
various varieties of fruit trees, are yet
covered with brush. Water flows down
every mountain side, and in nearly every
instance is allowed to wimple away to
the sea or sink in the gravel of the valley
creek beds.
Great oil and natural gas fields await
development, and resources which, no
doubt, we know not of. Yet, Santa Clara
County, with only tithe of its resources
developed, is known far and WIDE as one
OF the richest garden spots in the State
The climate of Santa Clara County is
exceptionally healthful.
Nothing more certainly shapes the des-
tiny of a community than the moral tone
by which it is characterized. There is
scarcely a section of Santa Clara County,
however remote, in which there is not a
church building of some kind. In every
town in the county which is more than
two years of age a number of church So
cieties are represented, while in San Jose
there is a great variety and many hand
some and costly buildings. Some of the
! congregations are comparatively small.
| but most of them are large, ranging from
! 200 to 900 people, and in the aggregate
form religious influence which enters
into and to a very great extent regulates
/ business and society.
! Santa Clara County now contains not
! only one of the grandest and most
! richly endowed universities in the world
| the Leland Stanford Jr.-but a number of
! other educational institutions of magnif-
cent proportions and great scope. Among
! the number may be mentioned the State
| Normal, the University of the Pacific
! the College of Notre Dame, Santa Clara
! College, Academy of Our Lady of the
Angels; st Joseph's College, the San Jose
! Business College, the Washburn School
the San Jose Institute and the San Jose
Academy.
1t is the knowledge of the immense
possibilities of the county, and the
further knowledge that the. operations
of a gang of corruptionists for the pas
fifteen years has seriously retarded the
progress of this section that has at las
aroused the very best people of the
county, and particularly of the city o.
San Jose, to a state of rebellion agains
the powers that be. 1t has caused thes,
people to inaugurate a movement
