instead OF excessive mental education" 1t provides
for annual contests between the students at the two
academies to be held at Boston, New York, Phladel-
phia Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago St Louis, Rich
mond, Atlanta, New Orleans, Omaha and San Fran
cisco, at which suitable prizes shall be awarded. An
appropriation sufficient to pay the prizes is provided
for, but the railroads required to carry free the
cadets to the places of contests and also the rep
resentaves of such reputable newspapers as the Sec
retares OF War and Navy may designate
A bill OF that kind is certainly worth debating. OF
what avail is knowledge OF higher mathematics on
the part OF our officers in the present in the Phil
ipplnes! A set OF clever sprinters would be more
effective against Aguinado than forty regiments OF
mathematcians and since it probable our u-
ture soldiers will have to fight in the Philippines for
generations to come we might as well prepare them
for it.
Moreover, the young men OF the army and the navy
have their uses in time OF peace as we'll as in war
and it is advisable to make such services widely
popular and useful than they are At present these
officers hardly do anything more in times OF
peace than lead cotons How much better would
it be to educate them TO the sweet duties OF the goi
field and the gentle sport OF the grdron ground than
leave them accomplished only in the art OF caper
ing in ballroom the lascvious blessings of lute
Another advantage Of the proposed course OF in
struction would be the relief it would give to the
universities, which now overstrained by the de-
mand upon them for suggers and scholars in equal
proportions. II the two great academies OF the Gov
ernment undertake TO supply the national need OF
annual football the universities devote their
energies to education and thus be enabled to furnish
the country with scholarship equal to that which
emanates from the universities OF Europe.
There is another merit OF the bill which should no.
be overlooked-one which ought to procure for it the
careful consideration of the country-that merit is
be found in its superiority to other Chandler bills
II will be much better for the Senate discuss golf
as part OF military education than to listen to
Chandler talk OF his peculiar views finance and
trusts. II the Senator's bill be smothered in commit

will certainly be wise on the part of Congress rather

LOCAL CONSOLIDATION.

HE Associated Improvement Clubs OF Oakland
have renewed the campaign ior consolidation
OF Oakland. Berkeley and Alameda, with certain
intervening villages. into city and county or
ganizaiion.
The residents and taxpayers of these divided mu-
inequalities find that under duality of government
they are paying higher rate for their civic
tablslrnent than is paid in San Francisco. For in
stance the average rate in Oakland for ten years past
has been 81 63, and in San Francisco 81 49, II this
calculation be extended it will be found that that d;f-
ference ID 90 cents the Soo OF property valuation
makes a pouentous sum- At an average taxable
valuation OF $3ooooooo it is SI5oooo year. and the
in the years covered by the statement would
be million and hall OF dollars! That sum, if in
hand now. would give to Oakland at once, the finest
park system in California outside OF San Francisco
In considering consolidation, however there are
many prejudices to be met. Even small communities
fee pride in their local designation and dislike 10
change II by being rechristened in the name OF
another town against which they have naturally felt
a spirit OF rivalry. This long stood in the way OF the
consolidation OF Greater New York and was finally
found TO be so nsurmountable that all the municipal
parties thereto were permitted TO retain their local
name by being designated as "boroughs" 1t will be
found worth while Tor the consodationists of Oak
land 20 examine the constitution and laws OF Cali
fornia ior authority 10 do the same with the towns
that side OF the bay. The city and county of Oak
land could then include the boroughs of Oakland
Berkeley, Alameda, ETC. and local pride and prejudice
would be soothed II no such authority exist now il
would be we'll 10 prepare for consolidation by pro-
posing an amendment 10 the constitution which will
permit such borough organization
Surely, with such stake as the waste or saving
al million and half in taxes every decade such an
effort is worth making, and we can conceive of no
objection the part OF the people OF the State to the
ratification OF such amendment. The main work
after ALL consists in the education OF the people Of
all the municipalities concerned, that they NAV be
brought 10 that their interests will be served bv
such consolidation. Public interests in such a CON
solidated government. require that all the parties
come into il in fair harmony and with willing
spirit for without this there is furnished merely more
things 20 quarrel about and larger field to fight
over
II accomplished wisely II is easy TO see that the
consolidated city and county would at once assume
a position Of very great importance. Under single
economical and homogeneous government it would
attract business enterprise by its advantages therefor
and the matchess natural beauty of its location would
receive more and more attention from the class which
can afford to live in pleasant places

This is the total profit flowing from the Federal
law TO the five persons for their investment OF
S2S5oo in registered bonds, nine and eghttenths
per cent
But. in addition to that such bank must have an
Office president and cashier, and the OF the
office and the salaries OF the officers must also come
out OF the profits. Putting rent at the low rate OF
$500 per year leaves S24o7 out OF which TO pay the
salaries OF the officers fuel stationery and other in
cdental expenses of the bank SO the Promoter will
see that the five persons owning such a bank which
the law says be established in places OF 1000 in
habitans, will have look elsewhere than to the Fed
eral git" for inducements to go into banking We
invite the attention OF our critic TO this statement and
desire frank reply whether there is anything in it to
excite the cupdity OF Wall street deserve the
denunciaton" with which the Promoter threatens to
discuss it?
The object in organizing such banks is TO put sur
plus capital within ready reach OF small rural com
muntes. Around Willows, perhaps, there are many
ranchers who. like all business men. have to make
rse OF their credit between seedtme and harvest or
between pruning and picking time in their orchards
and vineyards. If they compelled to use this
credit at the country store the average cost 10 them
OF such use OF it is put at 25 per II they can
it at small bank at cost OF 10 per cent we fail
to see where and how they have been injured The
Call has advocated this very change in the law which
gives currency 10 banks TO the par value OF their
registered bonds and reduces the minimum capital 70
$4,000, in the belief that il will benefit the farmer who
must use his credit. If are mistaken we will be
glad TO have our error pointed out
