MR., BLOCK AND
HIS FAMOUS
DEAD SOLDIERS
How He Worked the
Taxpayers.
CENSURED IN A REPORT
HIS LAST MILITARY ROLLS ARE
WORTHLESS.
He Boldly Defied the Law and Got
Nearly $4,000 for the Trick.
A Shameful Ex-

Tax Collector James N. Block and his
supporters will find fifteen minutes of
very disagreeable reading in the facts set
forth in the report compiled by Expert j.
c. Saulman for the Judiciary Committee
of the Board of Supervisors, filed Novem-
Der 4.
Mr.. Block was charged with improperly
obtaining money from the city and county
in the compilation of the military roll
The sum secured by the frugal Collector
aggregated for the past two years $4629 40.
1t is the duty of the Tax Collector of this
city to cause to be made a house-to-house
canvass for the purpose of compiling an
accurate census of those subject to mill
tary duty. To indemnify him for the cost
of this labor the statute allows cents
per name.
Careful investigation shows that Mr..
Block paid no attention to his official obli-
cations and that he compiled report that
is practically worthless. However, the
gentleman was not looking for quality but
quantity of subjects, and he was also
glueing his grip to the $4,000 per year.
He found simple way to grind out the
names by the thousand at cents name
and at the same time to hoodwink the Of
ficials whose duty it is to pass on his de-
mands for the peoples money. The artful
Collector discovered that there are such
things as precinct registers OF voters ana
city's time to copy names therefrom. The
result for the years 1898 is a roster of
military subjects the equal of which
could not be found on this rolling sphere.
The list furnished evidences of the fact
that the names were copied off without
any reference to qualifications. The lame,
the halt. the blind the aged, those exempt
by reason of official positions, the miser-
able wrecks at the Almshouse and, last OF
ali. those who have paid their last taxes
to Mr.. Block and gone over to the great
majority-all were carefully entered on the
LIST at cents per entry.
Mr. Block also found space for the
names of a squad of Chinese warriors,
who will doubtless be of great value to
Uncle Sam in the event of an early war.
People who lave left the State and are
subject to military duty in other COM
monwealths have also been carefully
enumerated.
one of the special requirements of the
law is that the names of all male per-
sons between the ages of is and q years
shall be returned The falsity. the worth
lessness of the source of the Collectors
roster are shown in the report of the ex-
pert by reason of the absence of names
of men of those ages. In other words,
the precinct registers were good enough
for Mr.. Block In fact they were real
good things" They were completed by

Major Mclaughlin was asked on be-
half of The Call to give a prediction OF

judgment that Gage will be elected by
twenty thousand majority. Nef's ma

When asked If there had been can
vass of the precincts throughout the
State to justify these estimates the
major replied:
THE committee has heard from every
precinct in California. 1t should be
borne in mind that the committee did
not dissolve and abandon work at the
close of the last Presidential campaign.
Prior to that time 1t was the custom
in California for committee to close
M affairs, abandon headquarters and
put away records at the close of cam
paign. Two years ago, when Mchin>
lev was elected, we resolved TO follow
the Eastern plan and preserve the
party organization. We have kept our
rooms open ever since and have been
in daily touch with representatives OF
the party in every county in the State

HENRY S. MARTINS
FIGHT Is WON
He Is Regarded by the Wise Ones as
q Sure Winner.

AS the campaign draws to a close the
evidence multiplies on all sides that
the voters will choose Henry S. Martin
for the next Sheriff Of this county by
large majority. This is as 1t should be,
for a better man for the position couIo
not be found.
During the campaign Mr. Martin has
worked hard early and late. He has
personally met thousands of voters
and has gained in strength daily since
his nomination, so that he is now re-
garded by the knowing ones as one
of the sure winners. This opinion is Sc
general that in all betting that is be-
ing made Mr. Martin is a prime favor
tie at odds of 10 to /.
Mr.. Martin possesses all the qualities
necessary to make an ideal public off
cfaI and his administration Of the af-
fairs of the Sheriff's office will be such
as to retain for him the golden opinions
the voters have formed of him during
the campaign.

Mr. Mcguire says in one of his articles on

primarily by legislative action. but with the
evidenced by the election of Mr. Mcguire he
would be In a position to exercise great in
fuence with the Legislature. It Is idle to say
that Governor his hands would be tied he
would have over 2000 offices and places to fill
directly indirectly. Judging from the num-
Der of single takers on the Democratic state
Central Committee, these places would be filled
by single takers The literary bureau that
has been in existence for years past would
have new sources of revenue and the fight
would go on to the exclusion of every other
issue until single tax or NATURALIZATION of land
had been killed by the defeat of a constitu-
tional amendment providing for IT.
Why waste all this time and keep home own
ers in terror for four years? We know that II
the fusionists have not swallowed the single
tax, the single takers have swallowed the
fusionists. The question should be settled by
the defeat of Mr.. Mcguire on November s.
and then, If he and his adherents are still de-
srous of iniicting the single tax upon them
selves and others, my suggestion would be. In
stead of disturbing and paralyzing this State
that they transfer their literary bureau and
themselves to one Of the Philippine islands,
the more barbarous the better, and there put
into effect the single tax and nationalization OF
land. T. w. H. SHANAHAN.
