FORTUNATE SHAREHOLDERS.

G UBSCRIBERS to the stock of the Valley Road
y who took advantage OF the proposal made to
- them short time ago to contract to give the
Union Trust Company an option of purchasing the
stock at par on or before January $780, have every
reason to be satisfied with the results
BY subscribing for the stock in the first place they
contributed to the attainment of a competing road
through the San Joaquin and by transferring it they
contribute to the construction of the line which will
provide transcontinenta competition Finally, as
they have disposed OF their stock at par they have
handsome profit for themselves out OF these enter
prises Tor the general good
1t may be accepted as certain that if the holders
of the stock of the Valley Road-or the hold
ers of the greater part of t-had not agreed to the
transfer of their stock, the connecting line between
Bakersfield and Los Angeles could not have been
undertaken at this time.
The region between the two points is compare
lively unsettled and the road that traverses it will
derive but little business from it for long time to
come. To render the venture profitable it was ne
cessary that the proposed line should have control of
the Valley Road well as connections with the
railway system of the southern part of the State BY
the transfer OF stock to the Union Trust Company
with option purchase at par this control was
assured, and result company to construct the
connecting line has been Incorporated and work will
soon begin
The whole history of these railway enterprises has
been of remarkably successful financierng In
the construction Of American railways it has too Of
ten happened that the original shareholders have
lost almost the whole of their investment The very
opposite has occurred in this instance Many of the
original subscribers to the Valley Road considered
their subscriptions to be contributions to an enter
prise for the welfare of the State, rather than as
business investment for personal profit All OF these
parties now find themselves able to dispose of the
stock at par, and at the time and by the same
means provide for additional railroad to the one
to which they subscribed

THE NEW TAX LEVY.

| N one respect the tax levy passed by the Board OF
supervisors on Monday may be commended-lt
might be higher. A cursory reading of the APP
preparations which have been made, when no
comparison is made with those of previous years. dis
closes to the reader that many expediens have been
resorted to to reduce the levy In all departments
the flexible allowances have been reduced but not
salary has been changed an employee dispensed
WITH In other words, the reductions have fallen upon
bureaus and departments which should in the interest
OF the pubic be given more money
he cause of this is not far to seek Salaries are
liked by law and may be drawn in defiance of the
supervisors, while the appropriations for the Street
FIRE and Police departments and for street lighting
are changed the exigences of the city demand and
cannot be exceeded Under this system all the reduc
tons tall upon departments which ought to be the
last to stand them There should be an annual ap-
preparation TOR the Street Department of ST 900 ooo
That sum OF money would no more than pay for
work which should be done Immediately upon the
streets and sewers Yet last year the department
ceived but $535oo and this year under an increased
levy it gets but $5oo,ooo
The total tax rate imposed by the order passed on
Monday will be ST 50 on the $Ioo valuation. Of this
40 cents and mills has been levied by the Board Of
Equalization for State purposes and 81 81 and mills
represents the necessities of the city and county
OetH increase OF cents over last year
in the municipal rate. The money derived from this
additional levy goes to make up the deficit of 1898
and provide for certain Improvements which are
deemed necessary Among these is $4,000 for the
proposed St. Marys Park and $4,000 for a new City
and County Hospital. Neither of these amounts will
probably be expended during the current year Ac-
cording to the City and County Attorney the hospital
cannot be constructed, the authorizing it having
lapsed, and it is doubtful whether the land for ST
Marys Park, even if the park should be actually pro-
jected can be condemned within year
The amounts appropriated, however will go into
the general fund whence they will in proper time be
duly checked out in salaries by the City Hall en-
ployes. In connection with this levy but one hope
can be expressed, namely that it will produce
deficit at the end of the fiscal year sufficient sum
OF money has been raised to conduct the government
but has not been and cannot be properly distributed
Hence, if deficit is avoided can cheerfu1ly put up
with another year of municipal stagnaon in every
thing except City Hall salaries

DANGER ON MARKET STREET.

REMOVAL of the basalt blocks and cobbles Of
* Market street and the substitution OF btumen
is an improvement pleasing to the senses.
Nevertheless it involves danger Time was
when the oncoming truck advertised itself block in
advance. Now it rolls up insidiouSy, and the pc
destrian has to be notified by yell OF his peril The
catastrophe will when nobody shall be thought
full enough to yell.
Drivers cannot be depended upon to give warning
They go through life cherishing the notion that
streets made for teams alone that the foot man
is trespasser, and that while to make him dodge is
innocent pastime, TO run him down is far short of a
crime From the lofty perch of the driver peculiar
view is taken. In this view people less elevated fail
to participate.
In former times people utilized the crossings when
they wished to reach the other side of the street
Now the middle of the block affords as comfortable
q place OF transit. Midway between crossings the
drivers urge their horses to achievements OF speed,
and there is no policeman to raise cautionng fin
ger. Hence the menace nultipes. If there shall be
accidents the pedestrians have ali been born under
lucky stars, and the distribution of these stars is not
believed to have been such liberal scale
AS matter OF protection pedestrians should stick
to the crossing They should also remember that
the longer to be depended upon detect ap
preaching vehicles. 1t becomes necessary to look
both ways at once, and do that which is sometimes
tersely expressed as keeping the eye peeled"

AN EXPLODED ROORBACK.

hRESIDENT McKINLEY'S prompt action in
Rproviding for committee composed OF men
OF national repute and high standing to inves-
tigate the conduct of the has had the effect of
slencing the wild clamors and reckless charges that
have been made against the administration for al
legged indifference to the welfare of the volunteers
The people aware that the whole truth will
be made known and the full extent of the reported
evils determined by official inquiries. AS result they
longer to be moved by the lurid rhetoric of the
yellow journals the bowling oratory of derna-
gogues.
Thus early in the campaign has the one national
issue of the fused factions been utterly discredited and
swept away. Even those Democrats and Populists
who were most insistent upon making use of that
charge as campaign cry against the adminstra-
ton have now abandoned it and returned to State
issues. The roorback has, in fact, been exploded in
the camp of its manufacturers, and all who hoped to
profit by it have been overthrow and dernorazcd
Rarely even in the history of Democracy has there
been worse case OF political trickery and mpudence
attempted upon the intelligence of the people than
this effort to make party capital out of the suf-
ferings that befell the volunteers during the past
summer.
The Democratic leaders in Congress and the
greater number of the newspapers of the party began
at the very opening of the crisis that ended in the
with Spain to camor for recognition of the indepen-
dence of Cuba and immediate invasion of the
island 1t was therefore, the exercise of something
more than ordinary campaign lying for these same
orators to denounce the administration for the evils
resulting during the campaign, for the lack of equip
ments for hasty invasion of Cuba, and the early ex-
plosion OF the lies is only what was to have been ex
pected.

OUR TAGGING WINE INDUSTRY.

u CCORDING to statistics given in the Moni-
| \ teur Vinlcole which may be accepted ap-
proximately correct, the wine production of
the world in 1897 was considerably less than that Of
the previous year, amounting to 2843478o2o gallons
while that of 1896 $500, Io3s2o gallons
The figures given of production in different coun-
tries show that France is by far the largest
Queer among the nations. Her output for 1907 in
Guiding that of Algers exceeded one-thrd Of the en-
tire output of the world. Italy and Spain follow in
the order named, and Roumana comes fourth on the
list. The United States, notwithstanding its vast
and progressive population is far behind other
civilized lands in this respect and ranks as sixteenth
being outcassed by such countries as Argentine
Chile Turkey and Greece and in fact but little ahead
of Bulgaria and Servia.
The chief cause for our backwardness in wine pro-
duction is that the American people as whole have
not learned the uses of table wines and do not con-
them to anything like the extent to which other
peoples are accustomed No civilized government
except own, and possibly the British would have
sent its soldiers from temperate climate to the
tropics OF Cuba without supplying them with pen-
tifu provision OF wine, that they would not have
to rely entirely upon the unheahul waters for drink
ing purposes If the troops in front OF Santiago had
been well supplied with Californian wine as the
troops of Germany and France are supplied with their
native light wines during campaigns there would have
been less sickness, less lasstude and fewer deaths
among them.
The United States ought to be as far advanced in
wine production as IN any other great industry, and
it is not credtable to intelligence that so many
of our people have yet learned to use the grape
rightly and to profit by the cultivation of it.

WHY

RED VESTS.

yesterday. Gill now wears a red and
green striped vest and Crane has forgot
ten the existence of his six months boy.
Back of the vest is story and some
thing else. Both Crane and Gill are
novices when Il comes to a horse race,
and persuaded by an old-tirne sport who
looks like the betting ring itself they put
all their shekels in one pocket and
started for the park.
Gill thought that Minnie x was pretty
name, but Crane ridiculed such a selec-
ton. He looked at the card and chose
Sport McAllister, and won over his COM
panion to the same choice. The horses
went to the post for the three-quarter
mile race. Gill was nervous and Crane
wanted something to steady him. The
horses were well lined and the flag
dropped. Gill tells the story thus
Gee, but 1t was exciting. You see. the
horses were all up and it looked like a
good start. The six other horses went
