TAXATION LIMITS.

HE Mission Street Boodler thinks the limit or
 taxation favored by The Call is altogether too
 1nf1exble. Tt is easy enough" says tht Booder, to criticize this provision (of the proposed charter and to say that the Freeholders should tic the limit at the other end also by limiting the basi: of taxation, but 1t is not easy establish sys tenn that will restrain extravaganza and stlsprovide for the natural growth of the city"
 We can readily understand the position of the Booder in this matter. That sheet makes very little money holding up city officials or passing appropria ton bills A large part of its income IS derived from corporation advertising contracts The Booder abuses corporation until it "advertises." Then i, executes contract by which it agrees in considera ton of a stipulated sum per month to publish a large quantity of silence every day about the corpora ton and its affairs. This the way it got $Iooo month out of the Southern Pacific Company for twenty two months. Probably it would still be "ad- vertising for that corporation had it not grown ar rogant and struck for a raise
 Naturally the Boodler wants the town to grow The larger it becomes the more corporations there will be to advertise We are therefore left in no doubt to its purpose in crtcizng our idea of limit ing taxation in this city. What the Boodler wants is large town with plenty of advertising" corpora tons in it. In such town its profits could not fail to be enormous. It think of no better way to make large town than to keep taxes up and provide the practical politicians who promote its business with plenty of money
 Notwithstanding the disposition of the Boodler to ridcule limit on taxation which would force the tax eaters to economize in salaries and ex- penses, however shall stick to our opinion that the only way to prevent municipal extravaganza in San Francisco will be to fix maximum assessment roll and maximum levy It will never do to rely the moderation of the As sessor. On occasion the late Alexander Bad lan when Assessor, added $8oooo ooo to the roll in a single year. True, the assessments were afterward declared invalid, but the incident illustrates what may be done by Assessor when there is demand for more money.
 We have under practically the rate of taxation during period of ten years the expenses of the municipality increase from $4ooo,ooo to nearly $6oooooo without the construction of single main sewer, the improvement of single accepted street or the enlargement reconstruction of a single public building. The Booder may want the city to continue to grow in this way, but we are free to say be- lieve most intelligent citizens are weary of such progress

HANFORD ON THE CHINESE LAWS

JUDGE HANFORD of the United States Dis | o trict Court of Washington who not long ago V decided that the wives and children of Chinese holding certificates of admission to this country were entitled to in by virtue of their relationship. now modihes his ruling by expressing the opinion that the courts have power whatever to determine questions involving the right of any alien to enter the United States. He declares that under the statutes passed by Congress jurisdiction of the subject is lodged in the administrative officers of the Federal Government, and that no alien refused admission by them IS entitled to writ of habeas corpus or any other writ by which he can call the courts to his aid
 It hardly possible to agree with this view of the law, for so long the principle upon which the writ ot habeas corpus reposes continues exst-which is likely to be until the end of time-any person de- prived of his liberty in the United States may have inquiry instituted into the cause of his restraint and, If no legal cause be found may be released It seems to that if personal liberty is to be pre- served in this country 1t will be necessary to mairl- tain the writ of habeas corpus. But with Judge Han lords construction of the Chinese exclusion statutes 1t IS less difficult to dea since his view is evidently based upon desire to promote the business interests of the importers of Mongolan contract labor.
 It IS not and never the intention of Congress to confer upon the officials of the Treasury Depart ment the absolute power of ruling Chinese ad- mission certificates. The intervention of the courts was counted on in all the legislation and the best evidence that such is the is found in the fact that the courts have always nterfered to expound the law when proper involving the statutes have been brought before them.
 | Moreover, we can conceive of greater msfor- tune to the country than the relegation of the att thorty to admit Chinese cooes entirely to the off cials of the Treasury Department On several occa- sons the people of the Pacific Coast have found that those officials not to be trusted banquet at the house of the Chinese Minister present of a 1 fragrant box of tea has occasions completely revoutionized the rulings of the department Mon golian questions A change of administration has also frequently produced entire change in the status of the restriction and exclusion laws.
 It is to be hoped, therefore, that Judge Hanfords view of the situation will not prevail It may annoy the Federal Judges to be compelled to pass upon Chinese habeas corpus cases, but it is their duty to do so and the people expect them to constantly op- pose an insurmountable barrier to the admission oi all Chinese who not legally certihcated. This work cannot be done by the executive arm of the Government because 1t has no way of recording and giving effect its interpretations of the law. In stead of seeking reasons for evading his responsb
 ties, Judge Hanford should stand up occasionally and decide case against the contract labor dealers.

CELEBRATING OUR GOLDEN WEDDING

HE sympathetic response made to The Calls
 suggestion for semi-centennial exposition in
 this city at invests the project with the ele- of success It is not against it that it will be the year of the national campaign. Indeed, that is one reason why it should be undertaken and will be a factor in its The National Centennial in Philadelphia was begun and ended in a Presidential campaign Both candidates appeared there. The popular awakening which always accompanies na- tional campaign aided the exposition. 5,
 The Columbian Exposition at Chicago was opened in the midst of the campaign of 1892. If are ready with semi-centennaI easily secure here the presence of both Presidential candidates ac companied by great host of their followers and Countrymen.
 It Is well now to consider of the striking fea- that be made peculiar to such celebration. In our rainless summer we can do what cannot be done elsewhere. Iowa has exhibited her corn palace, entirely of that cereal and her coal palace Otumwa, built out Of the coal of the Muchikinock mines. Here we can build palace of California olive oil. We can have chateau wholly of raisins and one of prunes In the hands of artists we can produce map of the State made out of the heads of wheat. We reproduce winery entirely of wine using the different coors for the effects of light and shade and within we have the vintage in actual operation dlu CdH iSllCSil tiC WtH SOuIuS ull Oi tHc fresh juice of the grape. We can build quartz mill entirely of ld-bearing quartz and operate its stamps and show the actual clean up of amalgam and retort 1t for the spectators to see We carry on actual manufactures. We can set up shipyard in large miniature and build model ship on its ways. We can build silk factory of our own cocoons and in it wind and the fiber We can put in a track and show our California horses in all their forms. We do more. Under cover we can build dairy palace of cheese and butter and in 1t make them both by the latest processes We can build a mill of wool and in it card and spin the fleece and weave 1t into fabrics. We can build great aquarium. divide 1t into salt and fresh water compartments and show great variety of food fishes swimming in their native element In it we can exhibit the great jew fish, the mighty tunny, sturgeon sea bass, striped bass, salmon and all the rest Tn the center of this palace of fishes, in ample pool, we can gather a company of sealions for exhibition at close range.
 In fact there is hardly end to the interesting fea lures illustrating our materiaities, made peculiar to us and easily possible by our climatic conditions. Such an exposition would be forever unique in the worlds industrial annals. Other places may build high towers, produce mechanical effects and illustrate the merely ornamental but never elsewhere will there be rival to this which will so show all our maerali- ties at the time to permanently certify to all the earth the cemency and individuality of cli- mate.

OUR SPECIAL NEWS SERVICE.

the excited condition of the public mind over the
 destruction of the Maine at Havana the popular \ desire for news Is intense. The people cannot wait for information to come them n the ordinary routine course of newspaper distribution rapid that has become of recent years. Men throng around the bulletin boards on the streets and each succeeding dispatch relating the catastrophe is read and dis cussed with unabated ardor.
 The Call recognizes in this emergency the need of prompter news service than usual and meets the de mand with readiness. It supplies by its bulletin boards in this city and throughout the State an un- teasing of dispatches from all the principal cities of the country giving reports of every event that occurs in connection with the great issue, thus keeping the people posted the situation and in close touch with all that said or done in relation it by our officials at Washington.
 Not by bulletins only however has The Call met the demand for swifter and better news service It has arranged more rapid distribution of the paper itself On Friday morning it sent special train to the people of Sacramento, San Jose W oodland and points along branch lines connecting with these routes. By these means The Call, with its full ac- counts of the latest reports and phases Of the stua tion reached the readers of those places in time give them all the long before other San Fran cisco papers were received. At Sacramento the earliest workers of the city able to get The Call before the work of the day began and the great of the people had the paper in time to read it at the breakfast table
 What has been accomplished by these arrange ments for the promptest possible publication of the and its distribution throughout the State is but another illustration of the determination of The Call to give the public the best newspaper service 1t has ever had The Call management recognizes the ear nestness of the people on this important issue and will be foremost in making known the news of all that occurs in regard to it. By special bulletins, by special trains and by all other means which can be employed in reaching the public, not only of the city, but of the interior The Call will give the news give it reliably and give 1t first.
