THE TAX SHIRKER AGAIN.

~ URING the discussion on the assessment Of
banks held by the Supervisors sitting as a
- Board of Equalization on Tuesday IL
lustraton was given of the impudence with which the
Wels-Fargo Company, through its president John
T. Valentine, carries the practice OF tax Sinking
1t shows that the corporation evades State taxes on
its banking business almost as completely as it
evades Federal taxes upon its express business and
President Valentine has much contempt for the
public he hardly cares to conceal the fact
In a statement concerning the difficulty OF making
accurate assessments upon some OF the banks of the
CITY, and the obstacles in the way OF compelling them
to pay their due share of the public burdens Assessor
Dodge said 'Wells-Fargo's president only laughed
at rs and he told me that he could in here next
wear and not pay cent in unless he wanted to-
and guess he is pretty near right They simply
unload their taxable holdings among their branches
and we cannot touch them. All that can assess
them on here is real estate to the tune OF $272o47
and cash which they have notified amounts to
$4,000"
The corporation that thus boasts OF ability to shirk
all taxes is one of the richest in America and does
enormous business in this city 1t has its headquar-
tiers here and derives most OF its profits from the in
dustry that is carried here although it maintains
branches in New York and Portland. It admits prop
erty valued at more than $Iooooooo, which it claims
is exempt from taxation Its president laughs in the
face of the Assessor and mocklngy says he VIII pay
what he pleases or at all if he feel like it
The impunity of the corporation is due to the fact
that it is chartered in Colorado and not in California
It has thus the advantage enjoyed by the Southern
Pacific OF Kentucky. 1t can carry monopoly with a
high hand in California, because of the charter OBJ
tanned from another State.
The evils resulting from the freedom given under
our laws for corporations to obtain charter in one
State for the purpose of doing business in another
have now become great that an agitation has be-
gun in the East for the purpose of devising some
means of remedying the wrong The ofenses of in
solent corporations far greater in the East than
here and therefore the first movement to check them
has had its origin there
1t will be years. of course, before any sufficient
remedy can be provided for the taxshirking that is
cone in that way In the meantime each State and
municipality must do the best it to compel II e
itch tax-shrkers pay at least part of what due
from them in support of the Government which pro-
tects their property and their persons The Super
vsors should see to it that since Wells Fargo has
shirked all of the tax upon its express company
it shall least be made to pay its State and county
taxes to the full extent OF what is due.

ties will of course do their share to give official mani
festaton of the honor due to the soldiers OF the
public but the greater part of the welcome must be
LETT to the spontaneous enthusiasm of the people. 1t

THE EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION.

IHFN the members of the National Associa-
\XI ton OF Agricultural Colleges and Experiment
Stations were in convention in this city the
tone of the papers read and OF the discussions that
followed disclosed how far agriculture has been
changed from the simple pursuit OF tilling the soil
than it was hardly than fifty years ago. Within
the lifetime OF a single generation a revolution has
been effected in the cultivation OF farms and orchards
The agriculture of the past the oldest industry
in the world except that of cattle raising. The agr
culture OF to-day is new industry that 1t has not
progressed beyond the experimental stage.
Something of the same extraordinary development
has been shown in the profession of school
teaching by the discussions during the educa-
tional convention at Los Angeles. Schoo-teaching
is no longer simple task of drilling children in read
ing writing and arithmetic, with little geography
thrown in. 1t has become one of the most complex
of professions. Like the agriculture, the new
teaching is still very largely experimental 1t is
broadening in every direction, and will doubtless
eventually include the upbudng OF the whole nature
of the youth of the land mental, moral and physical
l. is at this time difficult to fix the bounds OF the
activities of the schoo1-teacher Wherever the limit
may be placed it will be found that hundreds of
pfsing teachers have passed beyond it The grammar
schools press upon the high schools and academies
while these in turn crowd upon the colleges and the
universities Instruction in a hundred things not
dreamed of by the teachers of fifty years ago
found even in the country schools, and still the
rnent goes on.
The advance of the profession has been handi-
capped to considerable extent by the interference
of politics through school boards Despite the
jealous watchfulness OF the people to prevent the
schools from falling to the politicians part of the
spois of office many members of school boards
have been better fitted to primary election than
primary school With all that handicap, however,
the progress and improvement in methods of teach
ing as well the increase in the number of objects
to which teaching is directed, have been among the
miracles of human accomplishment in this marvellous
century.
The Los Angeles convention represents the flower
of the best teaching body in the world. Ger
tain advantages may be possessed by the thor
oughly drilled teachers of Germany and other Euro
pean lands over own but, taken whole and
judged by the standard of all that teaching ought to
be- there is no foreign land where the profession of
pedagogy has been raised to so high level or illu-
mined by such able and faithful leaders in the
United States. Wheresoever teachers assemble
they greeted with honor, and all California joins
with Los Angeles in welcoming the thousands now
with US.

MAKE Way FOR THE AUTOMOBILE

ID Y the decision of Judge Gibbons of Chicago
~ that the ordinance passed by the Park Com
- missioners of that city prohibiting the use OF
automobiles in the parks and along the boulevards is
void the first step has been taken toward opening a
clear way for the vehicle, despite the antagonism
which has been manifest in quarters.
According to Judge Gibbons the Park Commits
soners of Chicago have, under the laws Of Illinois,
no right to prohibit the automobile by any
more than the bicycle the dogcart, but it has the
right and it is its imperative duty, to prohibit any
vehicle, whether bicycle, horse, carriage automo-
bile to proceed within the parks along the boue
wards at rate of speed which endangers the safety
of the public.
By that decision the automobile is made avail
able for general use in Chicago as any other vehicle
The employment of it for pleasure or for business is
to be regulated that OF other vehicles but is not
to be prohibited
In addition to declaring the law of the Judge
Gibbons went to point out that there is reason
why there should be any discrimination against the
invention. He is quoted saying it is "a mat
ter of common observation and scientific knowledge
that there is less danger in propelling automobile
than there is in driving horse and buggy" and he
added: "The automobile has come to remain with
us and we welcome it great improvement over
