trtennial reassessment, which was conclud-
ed last fall. The land values have been
put up to higher figure than ever before

coming liquidation of tax debts will be
far in excess of those Of past years.

praisement of the assistant assessors there
was no payment of taxes last November

ments. Those who prefer the annual pay
ment plan will pay for the whole year
each May. No penalties of any kind will
accrue until after May 81 of each year.
Beginning tomorrow taxes will be paid
for the first time under the new personal
tax law also. The books of the personal
tax appraisers were recently closed. in or
der that the accounts might be made up
for the collector. The appraisers yet have
much work and many examinations before
them. and will begin anew as soon as the
books are returned to them.

RoBBiNG THE 0 p

The oil producers of California are
IN in arms against a bill which has
been, introduced in the senate by Senst
Ralston which provides for an i'm
possible flash test for crude petroleum
before it can be placed on the market.
The bill is very sweeping and if it be-
comes a law will legislate every pri-
yate producer of crude oil out of bust.
ness and give the INDUSTRY entirely
oyer to the Standard Oil monopoly. in
whose interests il is said the bill was
drafted.
The most Objectionable feature of
the bill is the provision that crude oils
for fuel purposes shall not be used in
factories or by other concerns. or sold
for use on steamships, unless it will
stand a fash test of $50 degrees. Now
the oil men assert that there is scarce
ly any crude oil coming from the wells
of California that will stand a f1asI
test of more than So to 80, or at mos
100 degrees. This would mean that
in order TO be offered for sale these
oils would have to be submitted to re
finement, and the Standard Oil com
pany controls the refining business
in California almost absolutely. 1t Il
claimed that the producers would b.
forced to practically give up their pro
ats for refining charges or close theil
wells. In the end the Standard wouls

A prominent citizen OF this city was

street hat a proper measure to pass
the present legislative assembly o
be one to repeal the election law and
abolish the elections. Asked MIS- rea-
son., he replied that 1t was useless TOT
a majority to elect a democrat or indie
pendent republican, for in that event
some pretext would be found for over
throwing the will of the majority ana
for turning the elected official OUT
and installing the defeated candidate.
Ii looks that way.
Long ago John d. w. Veeder and Fee
lix Martinez were elected to the coun-
ell by substantial majorities, only to
be tossed overheard by Q republican

WHICH - THE SAFEST CARP
Discussion Aroused In Consequence
Of Recent Railroad Wrecks.

From the Cleveland Leader.
(Which car Is the safest one to
occupy in q railroad wreck?" Is q
question that has received much con-
s%ideration at the hands Of travellers.
The recent railroad wrecks have eau
ed q revival Of the discussion, es-
pecially in this vicinity, whore rail-
road wrecks have occurred with ARM
ing frequency during the past year..
Railroad men are among those who
discuss this question seriously. This
problem in all intents and purposes
was solved by them long ago.. Wnen
q railroad superintendent hears the
mere report OF . wreck, he can tell,
II he knows the make w Of the
train and whether it was q head on
or I rear end collision. which OF the
cars received the brunt OF the shock.
Railroad wrecks In the neighbor-
hood of Cleveland are usually OF the
rear end collision or head on COLI
sion variety. and In no case In the
last decade have the casualties been
heavy. Another kind OF wreck Is
caused by the spreading OF rails.
There have been three or four OF
these near Cleveland within the last
two years.
As { general principle, 1t is safe
to stick to the Pullman cars" is the
| advice OF an old railroader, and d
there are no Pullmans on the train

heaviest Of them. Whatever you dc

There are good and suficient reas
