was wholly unprovoked and was com
mftted while Mccormick was intoxicated
He pleaded guilty to the crime and the
absence of generalization and his help-
less state of intoxication at the time led
to his being sentenced to the compare
lively light term of ten years.
Soon after his Imprisonment McCormlcK
began TO show signs of insanity. a COM
mission of experts passed on his case ana
decided that he was a proper subject Tor

TINGLEY LIBEL SUIT

SAN DIEGO. Jan when the plain

Judge Torrance announced that as a mat

been shown that libel had been perpe-
trated and that the PLAINTIFF Is entitled
to recover compensatory damages. This
statement from the bench is construed b1y
counsel as tantamOUnt to an announce

least shock to established industries and
to vested interests.
Meanwhile much could be done in the
line of practical reform by putting forth
greater efforts to live up to the tax laws
we already have and to force a fair as
sessment of the different forms of prop
erty. There is no reason why the assess
ment roll should remain stationary when
State is growing rapidly in wealth. and,
more particularly, no reason why all but
a small fraction of the vast amount of
personal property should escape the no.
tice of the Assessors. A determined eff
fort on the part of the State and county
officers to do their duty would soon work
a change, the effects of which would be
gratifying.

TRUSTS MEMBERS
WILL NOT WASTE
ANY OF THE TIME

T WELCOME the members of the Sen
ate and the Assembly to the high du-
/ ties which, in the name of the people,
whose chosen representatives they are,
it is their privilege to perform. The op-
portunity is presented to render service
which will be of vast benefit to the State
of California; but TO take advantage of
and improve the opportunity there is
needed such a conservation of purpose as
will exclude any temptation to labor for
the more selfish objects Of party or of
self The time in which the work of the
Legislature is performed is short; sixty
days afford only brief space in which to
deal with the numerous subjects some
of them of great Importance, which are
certain to be presented in bills and con-
stitutional amendments. The session is
too short for effective work if any por-
ton of 1t is frittered away through in
attention to business or is dissipated in
needless contentious. There should be no
political strifes. We have each and all
been elected by the people; we are all
their servants, and faithful attention to
their affairs-not senseless rivalries-is
what they expect at our hands. They
will not commend US if we engage in per
sonal chickering's or neglect the public
business while trying to thwart one an
other and gain a supposed political ad-
vantage for any party or any person.
The familiar saying that he serves his
party best who serves his country best,
is applicable at this time, and 1t is in that
spirit. l trust, we shall act during the
thirty-fifth session of the California Leg
islature. If we do so the fruits of our
labors will be certain to be such as, when
presented to the people, to gain their
earnest approval.
retiring Governor I
congratulations on having carried on the
affairs of the State so well. Peace, plenty
and prosperity are ours. During his ad-
ministration there have been but few in
ternal disturbances of the public welfare
And 1 now take up the burdens just laid
down by Governor Gage with the hope
that, like him, 1 may retire from office
leaving California peaceful and prosper
Gus and her people happy and contented.

Kaiser's Speeches.

BERLIN, Jan THE employees of the
Vulkan Works at Stettin have sent En-
peror William, according to a press dis
patch. the following telegram:
THE assembled workmen of the Vulkan
Works declare that they disapproved Of
collecting signatures to an address sup
porting the Emperor's attitude in the
Krupp affair and disagreed with the con-
tents of the telegram sent. They declare,
on the other hand, that the telegram was
a concoction designed to deceive his Maj
esty regarding the true and honest senti-
ment of the working classes.
1.-The ssencrs were induced by direct or
indirect compulsion to sign this tele-
gram. They deem 1t irreconcilable with
their manly honor as Workingmen to de-
ceive his Majesty concerning their true
sentiments and declare that they signed
Only through fear Of pecuniary damage"
A resolution embodying the foregoing
was adopted al a stormy meeting. The
address complained of was an indorse-
ment Of the Emperors two speeches to
workingmen, directed against the late
Herr Krupp's assailants.

majority and would control the other

- EALIZING the defects in their tax
- laws, a number of Eastern States
have attempted to reform their
tax systems. And more progress
has been made in eliminating the general
property tax than is known to most per-
sons In Vermont taxes on real and per
sonal property for general State purposes
are levied only when specially ordered by
the Legislature; although school and
highway taxes are levied annually. In
Connecticut real and personal property
has not been taxed for many years. In
New Jersey the only general property tax
is collected for schools. In Wisconsin
practically the same state of affairs pre-
walls; the only general property tax ordi
narily levied being for the schools and
the State University. Pennsylvania has
gone even further than her sister States
and real estate is never taxed, except
for county and local purposes. The State
of New York, also, is aiming TO eliminate
the personal property tax, and it has
made so much progress that in the year
1900 the tax levied was only II cents on
$10O, the lowest in forty years. In 1901
New York derived a revenue of s. 900, 900
frem the corporation tax and $4,000 900
from the Inheritance tax.
In the report of the United States In
the conclusion is reached and strongly sup
ported that it should be the aim of State
governments TO abolish the general prop
erty tax for State purposes, leaving to
the counties, cities and other political
subdivisions the exclusive right to tax
real and personal property, while the nee
essary revenues for the States are raised
in other ways In the course of the argu-
ment the majority of the commission
makes the following assertion:
THE general property tax is better
adapted to a new country, or to an agri-
cultural population. where property is
homogeneous and mainly tangible, than
to the modern industrial State"
These matters are referred to- not be-
cause it is believed to be possible for
California to enter a. once on a radical
reform of its revenue system, but because
it is well to take note of impending
changes before they are actually forced
upon us and to promote such discussion
