Big EXPOSITION
BILLS INTRODUCED
Two Measures Before the Legis-
lature That Mean Much
for the State.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 10.-Charles L. Patton
and the delegation that has come up
here to secure an appropriation of $780,
600 to help out in the big project for
Pacific Ocean and International Ex-
position" in 1901, got the bills they
brought with them introduced in the
Assembly this afternoon. They were
offered out of order by Assemblyman
Cobb of San Francisco and referred at
once to the Committees on Municipal
Corporations and Ways and Means.
The first bill, which went to the Mu-
nicipal Corporations Committee, pro-
vides that every county, city or city and
county is empowered to appropriate
from the general fund for the purpose
of advancing and maintaining their in
terests by exhibit at the Pacific Ocean
and International Exposition" to be
held in San Francisco in 1901, such sums
of money as may be determined.
The bill further provides that to raise
the necessary cash counties and cities
may include the exposition fund in the
tax Nvies of the different counties, pro-
vided that the amount so collected shall
be appropriated one-third in each of the
three fiscal years 1S99-1900, 19001901 and
1901-1902.
The intent of the bill is to give every
county in the State an opportunity to
come into the scheme and participate
in the exposition to the extent of their
resources.
The second bill offered asks the State
itself to do it's share toward the con-
summation of the stupendous project.
1t asks outright for an appropriation of
$500, 900 and calls upon the Governor
to appoint within thirty days after the
passage of the act fifteen commission
ers, who shall be known as the Pacific
Ocean and International Exposition
Commission The commission shall
have charge and control of all expendi-
lures Of money appropriated by the
State and the erection of all buildings
and maintaining the exposition. Each
commissioner shall give a bond of $20,-
600 for the faithful performance of his
duties, each bond to be approved by
the Governor. They shall receive no
compensation for their services, and
Charles L. Patton says there are 10000
able men in the State who will serve
willingly at the price.
The last bill went to the Ways and
Means Committee, which, it is said,
will be unanimous in giving it favor
able recommendation.
The San Francisco delegations to
both Senate and Assembly met jointly
to-day after the Senatorial ballot and
talked the matter over with Mr. Patton
and Supervisor Lackmann, who told
them just what the promoters of the
exposition want. Every member of the
two delegations, Republican and Demo
crat, gave his vote heartily to stand be-
hind the scheme and see it through to
a successful issue.

THE DEMOCRATS had an honest
president. They had at the helm
the greatest man that ever held the
position. Honest, faithful, incOrupt-
ible, Independent, he fearlessly and
conscientiously performed his duty.
Party men thrust him aside and
sought a new leader, not so closely
identified with the party. They
abandoned the old doctrines of their
party and tried to win success undOr
a new banner. They failed They
turned over the administration to
their enemies. They are on the out
side, and are to-day disposed to pur-
sue policy that will keep their enc
mics in power. They abandoned
their fight against the tariff, and now
monopolies have grown so strong
that they can ana DO dictate 10 Tue
government what the tariff shall be.
By their vagaries they have so
strengthened the republican party
that the fight is almost a hopeless
one.
THOR hest leaders are no longer in
front, they have been ordered to the
rear, and men without skill or
strength have been placed in COM
mand. The history of the party
shows a succession of fearful blunders.
This management is not only resPon-
Sible for injury to to the party, but
for a condition Ofaffairs which today
threatens the liberties OF the people

hcSn government.

EpITOR HERALD

Dear Sir-Under the heading,
"Factions," IN your last issue an ar
ticle appropos to the spring elections,
suggests some reflections as to how
primaries should be conducted. 1t Is
a well known fact that not one third
ofany party electors attend then
own primaries, sometimes the whole
attendance can be counted on the
fingers of one hand.
Usually the busine" men, the
propertyholders and that element,
that of all should have the largest
voice in selecting candidates are con-
spicuous by their absence. We have
known primaries to be packed with
the candidates relations and that con-
tingency ofbribc takers, who under
promise of free liquor, on primary
day. 90 to fill .heir hides with can
didate whisky and vote their lost
in. Where dishonrable candidate
thus gets credit for all the rag-tag-
and-bobtails he can run in, he places
a conscientious rival aspirant at great
disadvantage. Those primaries and
the subsequent conventions are often
galloped through be fore the trick is
uncovered, there the party lash is
used to keep an imposed on people
from kicking in traces. Cannot
something be done to stop primary
packing? OBSERVER.

THE TREASURER and TEACHERS PAY
From the Shenandoah Valley New Market

Mcssrs. Kditors:-There seems to
be considerable stir among the school
teachers of our county, because the
County Treasurer doesn't pay the
warrants as soon as issued, and some
very ugly and uncalled for remarks
have been made. / also understand
that the teachers are consolidating,
and will endeavor to have the pre-
sent treasurer removed at the spring
election. 1t is true that every man
has a right in this country to exer-
else his own rights, so long as they
don't interfere with the laws of our
country; but of all ingratitude have
ever witnessed, think these teachers
reach the climax. OF course some of
them understand these conditions,
but others, being school teachers and
supposed to possess about the ordi-
nary amount Treason, | am sorry to
say, don't seem to have consideration
enough to even display common

ledge, that Captain Koontz has bor-

security, and used that money to pay
the school warrants. This he was
not compelled to 10, bat knowing
that great many Of these teachers
were poor ana needed their money,
he borrowed the money and paid
them, because the people were behind
in their taxes, and he hadn't the coun-
ty funds with which to pay. In our
adjoining counties, the warrants are
frequently held from year to year,
and know of one that was nearly
two years old before it was paid. In
view of these facts, don't You think
these teachers show little gratitude!
