"The Star Journal"
(From the Shasta Courier.)

The Record Union" which is the
result Of consolidation with the Daily
Sacramento ''Union," started in 1SJi,
and the weekly that soon followed, has
entered upon new volume The
Record Union is now published as a
daily seven times week, and the
weekly edition, made up from the
cream of the daily, with special feat
ures added, makes that publication the
star journal of the State The price of
the weekly is only 81 per year, and At
that price no one who cares to read
current news and sound and entertain
ing newspaper literature can afford to
be without it.

which cost but little money by Claim
ing that it is the duty of the board to
carefully guard the interests of The
taxpayers, but it is singular that these
same members decline to act upon an
ordinance, the passage of which would
be the means of rep!enishing our treas
ury with considerable sum each
month. BY your failure to act prompt
ly in this matter the city is losing
about 81 900 per month, and conse-
quently you are not protecting the in
terests of the taxpayers of the city as
carefully and guardedly as you no
doubt would desire the public to be-
lieve
If the ordinance which I some time
ago presented to you is in your judg-
ment incomplete, or insufficient in any
respect, it is your duty to make such
changes or additions to it as you think
proper; but, as before stated, this will
never be accomplished as long as some
of the members of your board continue
to be Indifferent and disinclined to act
upon the said proposed ordinance.
When it is remembered that I called
your attention to the necessity of the
passage of this or a similar ordinance
on the 18th of November last it can
not be successfully contended by you
that l am endeavoring to act in too
great a hurry in this matter, but i
have deemed it wise to again call your
attention to it because l realize that
| the city is losing from $50 to $50 per
day through your failure to act upon
said proposed ordinance, or a similar
fall fal
G. H. HUBBARD, Mayor.
Devine said he was inclined TO favor
the proposition. He believed the city
had power to exact rates from persons
or companies utilizing the water front.
He felt that if the ordinance suggested
by the Mayor was adopted, it would be
only meter of time until the rates
collected would prove ample to erect
| suitable accommodations for all vessels
plying upon the river.
Pennish suggested that the matter be
referred to the Corporation Counsel with
| instructions to draw an ordinance to
cover the suggestion.
| 1t was finally decided to have the or
dirance drafted by the Mayor, read
Pennish thought better way than
| that suggested by the Mayor, would be
| to adopt a resolution instructing the
Collector to collect specified fees from
vessels using the city's dockage facil-
| tiles.
| Davis submitted that many of the
wharves along the front belonged to
| individual corporations. He thought
| if the city had a clear title to the front
| it would be well to create a Harbor
Master but until the question of title
was definitely settled it would be well
to go slow.
Kent thought it no more than right
| that the city should collect taxes from
the vessels coming into port He sub
mitted that not one vessel plying the
river paid taxes in the city.
Devine moved that a committee Of
three be appointed to draft an ordi
rance to be submitted to the board
at the next regular meeting. Carried.
AS such committee, President Leon
ard appointed ToZer, Davis and Bent

SOMEBODY WILL GET LEFT.
That is, II the Governor AdhereS to His
Tax Limit.
A Million and Half Likely to be
Cut Out of the Appropri-
alton Bill.

Ever since the Governor transmitted
to the Legislature his message relating
to the general tax levy bill it has been
matter of speculation as to what ap
preparations will be slaughtered. 1t
has been contended that did he finally
approve the bill he would be obliged to
veto appropriations ranging anywhere
from 100000 to 50 100000 if the tax
levy is to be kept within the limit which
he had established.
Thus, while it was generally under
stood that claims, deficiencies and gem
eral appropriations would be slaugh-
tered all along the line, the magnitude
of the slaughter has been somewhat in
definite
Deputy Controller Douglas, in accord
ance with the request of a Record
| Union" reporter, yesterday carefully
went over the books in the Controllers
office and furnished the following state
| ment, which he submits is practically
accurate in every particular:
| To be raised by tax levy for the for
ty-ninth and fiftieth fiscal year. So
1O1 ,204; there will remain in the gen.
eral fund at the beginning of the forty
ninth fiscal year (estimated), 81 1861 900;
held for reappropriation of Affiliated
| Colleges and restraining dams, 1915
600; total amount in general fund
| for the forty eighth and forty ninth
| fiscal years, $6,S49, 204.
Aggregate of items in general appro-
priation BILL $5,343, 17S; aggregate of
items in special appropriation bills, 81
400 on; amount to be drawn from the
fo, 4 L1e
$615,00 amount to be drawn from
general fund to pay salaries, etc, of
the Code Commission, $31 900; total
moneys needed for general and special
appropriations, orphans and Code Com
mission, S. 54S.4
Total amount of general fund for for
| ty-ninth and fiftieth fiscal years, S.
S49, 2O4
Excess of appropriations over gen.
eral fund, which must be vetoed by
the Governor to keep within the tax
levy proposed, 81 500, 2o1.
Up to cate the Governor has done
little with appropriations of any kind.
He has signed bills aggregating $3.50
IG6 a. ard according to the Control
ler's figures he must, within the next
nine days, exercise the veto power on
measures carrying nearly double that
amount
Appropriations aggregating 100000
have become laws by virtue Of the
constitutional limit having expired.
Up to the present time the Governor
has vetoed appropriations aggregating
only S123 600, and this amount, de-
Quoted from the 81 699,2 51. as esti-
mated by the Controller leaves $1,5l6,-

executive must dispose Of with a pocket
veto.

Turkey as yet owns Crete so far as
conquest can sustain ownership. she
has the right, therefore, to fire upon
Cretans in instruction against her au-
thority. The ships of the Powers rest
ing near by are thus made witnesses OF
the Smelling of Christians by Moslems.
But when it comes to starvation as
means of war, while it is recognized as
legitimate in maintaining siege, what
a hunliliating spectacle it is to see great
European nations claiming to be Chris
tians aiding the Turks in starving the
Cretans to death who are hemmed IN
on Akrotiri peninsula The CHRISTIAN
Powers prevent them receiving supplies
their land communication. They must
starve or surrender. If they surren-
der they believe that they will be
butchered. They are therefore between
the lion and the tiger, and Christian
nations stand by and see these people
perish, not even giving them assurance
Of life as prisoners of war, If they VIII
surrender It is a humiliating specta-
Gle, a thing that makes men blush TOT

Of course the CretanS are rebels. VI
course they are in armed resistance

AT the examination of Cecil Rhodes
by the Parliamentary Commission, MI
Labouchere asked Rhodes some ques-
.tions that amount to revelations For
instance. he said: Il see that in the last
report of the Chamber of Mines they
complain that black men in South At
RIGA who desert are not sufficiently pun
ished. as on doing so a second time they
only aat TWENTY-FIVE lashes." To which
Rhodes replied with a shrug of the
shoulders, II really don't know" La
bouchere continued: And the COM
plant is made by the gold-owners that
they should receive more. l want to
point out that the revolution was not
intended by these gentlemen to grant
these unfortunate people civil rights"
Mr.. Rhodes-"The blacks? No; they
have none. They are not fit for it.
abouchere-"Flogging is a good thing
for theIn?" Rhodes-'I do not say that"
In other words he had said too much,
and already saw that it would be wise
to check himself. This is the sort of
thing that England, Boosting that no
English flag floats over a slave, permits
and fosters. The simple fact is this,
when English greed fastens upon bit
of Gods footstool, no matter by whom
it is occupied, the unhappy native must
give way before English need, or the
need it creates, whether that involves
slavery or service in arms, flogging or
deprivation of human rights. Human

and doors and started for a gun, but
they heard him and escaped.
On the same night the rooms of Isa-

entered and robbed of a suit of cloth

THE EXPLOITATION OF THE EVIL
DENCE OF CRIME.

Mr.. Frank Jaynes. Superintendent of
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
is a model moraHst in his way. He
bundled up all the dispatches relating
to legislation before the late Legisla-
ture and attempted to ship them out
Of the State. He did this in what he
declares to be the conservation OF the
business of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, if it is entitled to have an exist
ence at all, should at least be q good
citizen. If there is evidence in its
Office of crimes against the public,
against individuals, against property,
against good government, against the
lives or the liberties of the citizens of
this country, it owes it TO the officers
of the law and to those who make an
effort to expose that species of crime
10 help them. But when it declares
that it wants to conceal its business
so that criminals win continue to pat
ronize its line, it declares that it is not
a good citizen and that it is not en-
Hitled even to live.
The question arises: If a train rob-
berry had been committed and hun
Iretis of people had been killed, would
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany ship it's dispatches out of the
country for fear that the officers of the
law would detect through those dis
patches the perpetrators of the crime?
1t certainly would be in the interest of
the Telegraph Conpany's business to
rio so, since train robbers would cease
ITO use the telegraph, if by doing so
such use would become a means of de-
lection. If a murderer kills whole
family and teIegraphs his movements
to sympathizers or confederates, would
the Telegraph Company ship its dis
PATCHES out of the country that the
officers of the law might find no trace
in the kilograms OF the perpetrators Of
the atrocity? Certainly it would If it
is going to secure the patronage here
after of human butchers.
Now it should be known to Mr..
Jaynes and the Western Union Tele
graph Company that the man who sells
his vote IN the Legislature is a more
dangerous man than the man who
murders his family or robs a train. The
human mind stands Mortified at the ex-
hibition of these crimes; but the de-
leterious effect upon civilization by
~enality in legislation is vastly greater
than the murder of an Individual citi-
zen Life is secure where civilization
is high. Life becomes insecure where
civilization has failed. The insecurity
of life is promoted by legislative cor
ruption, because the practice tends to
destroy civilized and civilizing insti-
tutions.
The public opinion that would toler
ute an fundamentally which seeks to
facilitate crime and makes its detec-
ton difficult, simply in the conserva
ton of its own business, is a very fee
BILE minded public opinion indeed. Mr.
Jaynes has evidently not yet learned
the alphabet of either decent ethics or
good citizenship, when he offers the
conservation of the business of the
Telegraph Company as an excuse for
endeavoring to make that worst of
crimes. legislative venality. safe and
expedient.
