A QUESTION OF TAXES
VENTURANS WANT TO HAVE

VENTURA, Sept. 1s-For some time
tested against the discrepancy of the oc-
cupation tax in vogue here, in claiming
that doctors, attorneys and other profess
sional men were as morally responsible for
the legitimate debts incurred by the town
as the men who bought and sold goods.
Acting on this principle, a number of prom
irent business men refused to pay the tax
for the last quarter. This action called
fer an extra session of the town board,
wehn the pros and cons were carefully
discussed many prominent citizens of the
town taking part, and many suggestions
were offered, including one to raise the
town realty tax which is the lowest in the
state. This called forth howl from prop
erty owners, who desire the assistance of
candy shops, dressmakers, barber shops,
ETC., to help pay their taxes, and would
rather see the town in darkness and with
dirty, unsprinkled streets than to stand a
slight raise on property tax. Ventura ex-
lists under special charter, which dates
back to the '70s, thereby having no right

Blackstock's Candidacy
The people of Ventura have at last dis
covered the reason why N. Blackstock the
candidate for railroad commissioner, Joined
the Republican party. An official write
up of two columns in the Free Press this
week declares that the acquisition to the
Republican ranks was due to his ardent
admiration of James G. Blaine. In the
whole two columns there are but nine lines
devoted to Mr.. Blackstocks political ca
reer, which embody the above statement.
Tho Free Press also complains that the
Santa Barbara Press prints the entire Re-
publican ticket at the head of Its editorial
columns, with the exception of Arnold and

now appear. from the statement of Hutton.
that Brown has not only done a grievous
and unjustifiable wrong to a great number
OF voters by an attempt to unwarrantably
dlsfranchise them, bu, has deliberately
broken his pledged word.
1T was during the opulist convention
that talked with Brown" said Mr.. Hutton
yesterday. Il had been told that in the
event of bolt among the PopuEsts, for
we then knew that such would probably be
the outcome, that Brown would give the
boilers the place on the state ticket that be-
longeH to the Populist fusion ticket. I re-
peated this statement TO others, and finally
my remarks came to Browns ears, and he
sent for me to come to his office. 1 went,
and with me were Captain Seamans and
AL I.indley, who were present and heard
the conversation. as well as one other gen.
tleman.
"Mr Brown asked me If had made the
statement about him which had been re-
peated to him, and I said had explaining
that l had received the information or
which / based it from such a source as to
believe 1t true. He at once denied the
truth Of the story, and said without equivo-
cation that under no circumstances would
he put the boilers on the ticket, as he knew
it would not be a legal ruling. That he
could not do it. He was very emphatic In
his statements, and they were wholly vol
untary on his part"

question az to how the nomination of a
Southern California man for the guberna-
torlal honor affected his chances for the
senatorship, he summed up the situation as
follows:
II am not al all discouraged. The people
Of Northern California are not anxious TO:

In the San Pedro harbor ma ter, Southern

fact, however. it must be remembered that
the larger proportion of the Republican
contingent of the next state senate and
legislature will come from Southern Cali
fornia, and they will be in position to de.
mand that the senator be chosen from this
part of the state.
'The members of the Southern California
contingent will, in the majority OF in
stances, be under instructions from the.~
respective constituency to make such de-
mand, and will go to heir duties with 1t Is
their watchword. The Northern Califor-
mans will probably be rather Indifferent in
the matter; at least, they will not have as
lively interest. AS to the merits or
chances of individual candidates, would
not care to say anything"
