1915 Broadway. June "a.
The consolidation of Oakland, Ala
media and Berkeley and the taxation OF
Alameda County were the subjects OF
an interesting discussion before the
Alameda County Advancement Asso-
citation at a meeting held in California
Hall last night The assembly first
listened to Professor L. D. Inskeep,
" no read a paper on the taxation. He
was followed by Mayor Warren Olney
Attorney c. r. Shook, Brainerd &
Brown Of Alameda, Rufus b. Jennings
Of the California Promotion Committee
and Taliesin Evans.
Mayor Olney declared that he in
dorsed Professor Inskeep's position
thoroughly. and then, taking up that
part OF il relating to the amount Of
duplicate work done by different city
governments and the amount Of money
thus spent, said:
Possibly some Of you know that /
am a crank upon this subject OF con-
solidation. ! believe in il. II there are
those here tonight who oppose con-
soidstiou I viii tell you now that you
may as well get out Of the way, for it
is bound 10 come There is too much
waste Of money and so much unneces-
ssry work that economy viii not put
up with.
USELESS EXPENDITURES.
The three cities Of Alameda. Berke-
ley and Oakland contributed s121, 900
last year for money expended where
they got only an indirect benefit from
il. Besides this we give our cities a
bad name for having a high tax rate.
Our taKss in this city amount to within
g fraction Of 2iz per cent and you can
only get 3Iz per cent for the money you
have on deposit in the bank"
Attorney Shook followed in much
the same strain. He thought the key
note Of the situation had been struck
in the proposal to consolidate the city
governments of Alameda. Berkeley
and Oakland. Three city governments
were kept going where one was
needed. He defended to some extent
the money expended by the cities for
the improvements of the roads within
the counties. as he believed that they
derived some benefit from them.
OPPOSES CONSOLIDATION.
Brainerd c. Brown OF Alameda was
not in favor of consolidation, for it
meant TO be swallowed up in a gov
ernment which he said was notorious
T. corrupt.
Some one" he declared, had re-
marked that Every people has a gov
eminent as good as it deserves
When the rank and file do not care
and take no interest they can expect
just what they get We of Alameda
would sooner pay a little more and
keep our schools and our streets un-
der our own control than be taken into
a government where we would have
little or nothing to say as to what
should be done with our money. When
Oakland can come TO US with clean
hands we shall be ready to join with
her. ] believe what Mayor Olney has
said and / think that he stands for all
that is good and pure in government,
and If city and county affairs could be
run as he wishes TO have them
would not fear TO join with him"

Only Makes a Bad Matter Worse.

Perhaps you have never thought of
it, but the fact must be apparent 20
everyone that constipation is caused
by a lack of water in the system, and
tue use of drastic cathartics like the
old fashioned pills only makes bad
matter worse. Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets are much more mild
and gentle in their effect, and when
the pro- er dose is taken, their action
is so natural that one can hardly
realize it is the effect of a medicine.

NEARLY BROKE HIS NECK
President Roosevelt Nerrowly
Escapes Serious Calamity

A Washington dispatch Of November
2, says President Roosevelt escaped
death by almost a miracle a week ago
last Sunday. This fact became known
tonight for the first time. The presi-
dent was thrown from his horse while
riding in the country. He was riding
at high speed toward a high fence.
The horse stumbled and fell. The
president struck on his head, and was
so severely stunned that he remained
unconscious for several minutes. He
was then too dizzy to remount, and
for some time could not regain the use
OF his arms and legs. He was alone
at the time.
Finally, he was able to mount,
and Joined his orderly, who was wait
ing for him. The president, in fall
ing, struck his head glancing blow
on stone, which raised large lump
on the side Of his head and caused a
scalp wound above the right ear The
cut reached down into the forehead.
Blood was flowing from the wound,
which was pressed after his return to
the White House. Measures were also
taken to reduce the swelling.
That his neck was not broken by his
fall is regarded by the president as
equivalent to a miracle. He believes
If he had struck the stone which
wounded him, squarely, his skull
would have been crushed.
Mr. Roosevelt has been very reticent,
even to his intimate friends, about
the circumstances attending his acci-
dent. 1t is known, however, that in the
immediate vicinity in which the acci-
dent occurred, there is a 10-rail-stake-
and rider fence. When the fall came,
the president was galloping rrapidly
Tor flying jump. President Roose-
velt was thrown many feet, and by his
own admission struck head first. His
head struck the rock, imbedded in the
earth, and glanced into the dirt.
When he recovered consciousness, Mr..
Roosevelt fonnd his face covered with
blood and dirt, fresh blood streaming
from a long cut in his scalp, reaching
down his forehead. and his neok and
right shoulder strained by the fearful
wrench he had received in landing.
Only his wonderful physical condition
enabled HIM to recover as quickly as
he did.
