REBATING LICENSE TAXES

In granting rebate Of license to ex-
Saloonkeeper Mackel for a term during
which he paid the tax without the ad-
vantage of carrying on a saloon, the
police commission yesterday stirred up
host of similar claimants, and waded
into deep water. AS a strict matter of
equity, 1t would seem that If man pays
for something he does not get, he Is en-
titled to his money back. But the prac-
tice with the city government hitherto
has been to keep tight grip on every
thing It got hold of. If a man paid for
license without utilizing 1t, he did so
advisedly and of his own free will. He
might have surrendered his license at
any time and stopped the payment, but
he held on to 1t, presumably for some ad-
vantage to be gained thereby. Taking
derived quid pro quo and is not entitled
to a rebate. It's knotty question and
ought to be referred to the city's legal
advisers. The city attorney might be
asked to give his opinion, first, as to
whether the authorities have any right
to refund money thus paid in, and, Sec
ondly, whether the city would be liable
for reclamation in an action at law
These two propositions out Of the way,
the police commission and the council
can decide the equities to suit their own
consciences

Death Seems Certain

TACOMA. Wash. August 24.-Mrs
Hugh Wallace, daughter of Chief JUS
tice Melville W. Fuller. is dying of ap-
pendcitis at Ashfords farm at the foot
of Mount Rainier. Drs. Yocom and
Hickman and Mr.. Wallace are at the
bedside doing everything possible to
save her life. 1t was considered doubt
full if she can live two days. The doc
tors have decided she is too weak to un-
dergo an operation. Messengers are
kept on the road between Ashford's and
Tacoma carrying medicines up and
bringing in bulletins of her condition
These are wired to Chief Justice Fuller
who is sojourning at Maine summer
resort.

TRYING TO TAX BICYCLERS

The proposition to put a license tax
on the use of bicycles has been seriously
considered by number of municipali-
ties which, like Los Angeles, are in
straits to pay necessary expenses and
also the salaries of political henchmen
out of the ordinary tax and license re-
cepts.
The latest rebuff to such an attempt is
recorded from the Circuit court of Cook
county, Illinois, where decision has
been rendered that license tax on bi-
cycles is unconstitutional on the ground
that it involves double taxation on
wheels which are already subject to tax
alton as personal property under state
laws.
The court was Of opinion that, while
the municipality might license a busi-
ness or occupation, like that of the ex-
pressman and hack driver, or common
carrier, it had no right to demand a fee
for the use by resident owners of private
vehicles of its highways, which are free
to the public Of the entire state.
The decision of the circuit court will
undoubtedly be appealed from, and
when decided, bicycle owners and riders
will probably not be annoyed by any
similar attempts at double taxation or
the part of city governments. The mat
ter is one of general interest to all own
ers of bicycles and it appears highly
probable that their rights will be re.
spected by the appellate courts.

Uniform Divorce Law

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 24.-At the
meeting today Of the uniform law COM
mittee, a creation of the National Bar
association, John c. Richberg Of Chi
cago, as chairman Of special commit
tee appointed for the purpose, reported
a draft Of a divorce bill for adoption In
all the states, to be submitted to the
National Bar association. If the asso-
citation approves Of 1t, the members will
urge its adoption by their different state
legislatures. The bill is modified after
the divorce law in force in the District
of Columbia, which of necessity was
drawn by committees Of congress which
represents the entire country. The be-
lief is generally expressed by members
of the committee that the bill will be
approved by the National Bar associa-
tion, in which event systematic efforts
will be made to have it adopted in all the
states.

Rev. Akerly Dead

OAKLAND, August 24.-Rev. Benja-
min Akerly, rector emeritus of St
Johns Episcopal Church, died at his
home in this city shortly after midnight
this morning, of old age. He was born
in 1872 of Scotch English descent and
was the son of a well-known New York

nomination in the State of Wisconsin
He remained in Milwaukee twelve years,
coming to California in 1857. He found
ed many missions. The Church Of the
Advent, ST. Paul's Church Of East Oak
land and the Gray mission at Temescal
were offshoots Of st. Johns.
DR.. Akerly was a past master of Oak
Leaf Lodge and past high priest of the
Royal Arch Chapter Of Masons.

THE FoREsTERs
The Supreme Court in Session at
Denver

DENVER, August 24.-Two hundred
delegates, representing ForesterS' courts
in all portions of the country, attended
the Supreme Court of the order, which
was called to order by Supreme Chief
Ranger l.. j. Smith of Lowell, Mass. Re-
ports of the supreme officers show that
during the past two years the order of
Foresters has made an increase Of Is, ,746
members and Sc courts. The aggregate
expenditures for the management and
beneficial funds were over $4,000, 900.
There is balance of 1881, 1884 in the State
Supreme Court treasures, an increase of
$142, 1872 over the balance of two years
ago.
No business was transacted at today'e
session. A public reception was held
this aftern oon, and the several dele
gates enjoyed ride around the city.
The court will be in session until Sat-
urday. When the election of officers is
held exciting times are promised.
Supreme Chief Ranger Smith Is can
didate for reelection, but he may be
strongly opposed by Joshua Shaw of
Brooklyn, N. Y. DR.. Frank H. Wheeler
Of New Haven, Conn, and T. ]. Ford of
Pittsburg are also candidates.

harvest This reasoning may be very
clear and convincing to highly organized
brains, but TO less favored persons the
conclusion arrived at would not seem
10 be a logical deduction from the prem
ises.
Old style logicians would say that
there has been underproduction of whea'
in nearly all competitive countries, and
larger production than usual In the
United States, and that the demand has
not diminished. while the worlds supply
has greatly fallen off. Under such cir
cumstances it used to be supposed that
the price would advance in obedience
to a natural law, but under the new proc
ess of reasoning supply and demand
have had no influence in advancing the
price of wheat; 1t has been caused solely
by the election of Mckinley and the en-
actment of the Dingley law.
The old, matter-of-fact logician would
explain why the price Of silver had gone
down at the same time that the price
of wheat has gone up, by saying that
silver production has not diminished
very materially at most. but Its demone-
tization by European nations and lately
by India and Japan has limited its uses,
and If the effect of supply and demand
were as It used to be, the price would
fall, whether this or that political party
were in power in the United States; but
now and in this country the cause of
the reduced price is a result of McKin-
ley's election and the passage of the
Dingley tariff law.
But they say the prices Of other things
have gone up. 1t used to be understood
that when the price of one great staple
went up the prices of other staples
would go up sympathetically. That prin-
ciple, it seems. is no longer applicable,
When prices of whatever articles ad-
vance. Mckinley and Dlngley have
caused it.
Should there be heavy crops next year
in all wheat producing countries, the
merits of the new principle of logic will
be tested. 1t is not best to accept it
as correct on the ipse dixit of the dis
coverers. 1t may seem all right under
favorable circumstances, and may not
work well when nature causes a turn
in affairs.
Wages seem not to have gone up with
advance of prices Of wheat and other
commodities, and under high protection
to trusts. The Dingley law must some
where be defective in not having done
something for the wage-earners, while
giving prosperity to other classes. We
hope the solons who enacted the law will
discover the defect before congress re-
assemblies, that the law may be amend
ed so as to promote the interests of the
classes who are dependent on their
labor.

RECOGNITION FOR LOS ANGELES

The Importance and advantages Of
Los Angeles as railway center and ter
minus have once more received practical
recognition, in the announcement that
General Superintendent Wells Of the
Santa Fe Pacific would this week re-
move here, together with his entire office
force, making his headquarters in this
city in the future. Hitherto the general
superintendents office has been located
in Albuquerque, N. NJ
The removal is of course part of the
general plan of centralizing the active
management Of the great system in the
most convenient locations and in conso-
nance with the Importance OF the various
cities as railway centers. In the policy
Of the Santa Fe officials, insomuch as
it relates to the development of the trb-
utary territory, Los Angeles and South
ern California must play very promi-
nent part.
Some weeks ago The Herald devoted
considerable space to the very interest
ing outlines of the company's policy as
laid down by it's immigration agent,
while no earlier than this week Mr..
Walker, chairman Of the board Of d.
rectors, offered some very sound sugges-
southern counties that showed most
clearly that he regarded the interests of
his railroad and of this section as be-
ing most intimately connected with each
other.
Under the existing circumstances 1t
was perfectly natural and the part of
good business sense to remove the office
of the general superintendent to this
city. The removal will add to the i'm
portance and prestige of Los Angeles as
a railroad center and it will doubtless be
an agreeable change to those immedi
ately concerned.
One thing of this kind leads to another
Of the same sort. The railroad develop
ment of Los Angeles and Southern Cali
fornia is yet in its infancy. Already
signs of the great railroad future may
be seen in the business sky.
The opportunity for congratulating
Santa Barbara upon the fact that ]. H.
Kuhns, general storekeeper for ths
Santa Fe Pacific will soon remove to
that city, together with his entire force,
is not to be lost. In short, the Santa Fe
seems to be identifying itself with
Southern California in the most crafty
ing, practical manner

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2o. 1897.
THE POSSIBLE COURSE OF THE
WHEAT MARKET

Hardly anything interests the people
at this time more intimately than the
course of the wheat market From all
available data it seems certain that our
country will find prompt market for
all her surplus breadstuffs at good
prices. But will our surplus suffice for
the needs of western Europe without re-
ducing our reserves so far below nor
NAL level as to force prices to an ex
treme? The known facts are that stocks
of wheat in England and France have
not been so meager in years as at pres
ent; that the English and French crops
are below normal; that the southern
hemisphere instead of having wheat to
sell must buy from us; that the Danub-
ian provinces have little if any surplus,
and that the Russian crop is more or
less deficient. The unknown elements
are how much the United States and
Canada will have to spare and how great
the deficiency is in Russia. For feed
and seed the United States will need
about 4O0, 100000 bushels The highest
estimate of our crop is 6O00O0,000, with
100 900, 900 of carry over stock. Unless
Russia has considerable quantity to
spare, say 75,000O00 bushels, the appear
ances all point to scarce wheat before
the next harvest. With rains in Austria
liza, Argentine and India during the COM
ipg fall and winter, a good crop might
be available there to draw from as early
as next March. But that is a contingent
matter
In view Of these facts, reports Of light
crops in the northwestern states of our
country and that Russia contemplates
the prohibiting of exporting wheat, no
wonder that the market suffers severe
spasms of excitement.
There is another element of uncertain
ty in the situation which adds fuel to
the flames. Will the peace of Europe be
maintained? The probabilities are that
it will, but that is far from certainty.
The meetings between the kaiser, the
czar and the president of the French re-
public are not junketing trips pure ard
simple. Deep schemes of diplomacy lie
at the root of these new movements.
The latest report that Germany might
cede the Alsace-Lorraine territory to
France on a promise of payment on very
easy terms is most significant note.
The peace between Turkey and Greece
is not signed yet and permanent peace
between the heterogeneous elements of
the Turkish empire is not possible. The
revolt against English rule on the Af-
CHAN frontier is disturbing develop
ment which is puzzlng to account for.
IT Russia is at all convinced that the
peace of the world is seriously at stake,
wheat will be held back TO feed the army.
If the continental powers have it in
mind to interfere with England's policy
in any part of the eastern hemisphere,
every means will be used to reduce her
stock Of hreadstuffs before an attack is
actually made.
Here are all the influences at work in
the wheat pits, and with these in mind it
