One of the Few.

Ernest E. Wood. brother of II. w.
Wood of the Amador Record, was
elected to congress from the 18th dis.
trict Of Missouri, on the democratic
ticket. He was formerly of Angels, in
Calaveras county, and ran for district
attorney OF Calaveras on the republi-
can ticket several years ago, but was de.
feated. He went to Saint Louis, and
was nominated by the democrats for
congress in strong democratic district
of that city, and was elected by vote
OF 15, ,2O4 against IA, 11S for his republi.
can opponent. 1t is said strong fight
was made against him, and his Cali.
fornia record was used to his detriment
but he won out. The press dispatches
state that his election will be contested
by the republicans. 1t is no doubt true
that Wood occupies the unique position
of being the only man who succeeded
in getting into Office in this tidal wave
year by changing from republicanism
to democracy. The slump among the
voters was in the other direction
There were only three democratic con.
gressmen elected in old Missouri this
wear
Amador ledger., 1904-11-25
THE COLORADO SITUATION.

Governor Peabody, the republi-
can, was defeated for reelection by
a decisive majority of over 10, 900 by
Adams, the democratic nominee.
This result, in the face of republi-
can majority for Roosevelt of over
10000, is giving birth to much dis
cussion as to the causes which con-
tributed to the anomalous outcome,
which is all the more noticeable from
the fact that with the exception of
governor the other officers on the re-
publican state ticket are elected.
The labor unionists are claiming it
as big victory for their side of the
unfortunate controversies and law
less outbreaks which have disgraced
that state during the past two years.
We do not believe the situation will
bear that construction. 1t is GER
tainly reputation by the people
of Peabodyism and military domina-
tion which have prevailed. The
truth is, the people are tired of the
reign of union and military despo-
tism alike. Both are equally autag-
nistic to the welfare of the state
No doubt the drift toward anarchy
was inaugurated by the rule-or-ruir
element that gained control of the
labor forces. Violence breeds VIC
lence. A resort to lawless measures
on one side naturally begets the
same tactics on the part of the op
posing side. The state, undoubtedly
from the best of motives on the part
of those in authority, prompted by
a sincere desire to re-establish law
and order, resorted to measures re,
strictive of personal liberty which
would never be dreamed of under
ordinary conditions. The reign OF
terror and ostracism swung from
the union to the anti-union side.
Doubtless the people yearned for de-
liverance, and sought it by the elec-
tion of Adams. The governor elect
is conservative and safe man. His
success cannot be taken as an en-
dorsement of the extreme methods
of the labor unions. He may be de-
pended upon to deal fairly with all
classes and all interests. Colorado
wants industrial peace, and her peo-
pie have selected Adams as governor
in the hope of attaining that greatly
to-be-desired end.

President Roosevelt announces
that he will not be a candidate for
reelection. Moreover he will, for
the ensuing term, be more independ-
ent of the influence of the machine
politicians. That is, he will listen
less to the wishes of Office holders in
regard to appointments to Office.
The traffic in places, as the reward
of political services rather than of
merit, and fitness for the offices
sought, will not be tolerated. In
other words, the president maps
out bold path of freedom in the
distribution of patronage. 1t does
not follow from this that he will be
unmindful of the claims of his politi-
cal friends, and appoint to Office men
from the ranks of those who opposed
his election rather than those who
by their votes and influence assisted
in the overwhelming victory. Such
a course would be ungrateful, and
tend to weaken the republican party.
1t would cause greater dissatisfac-
tion than the system of distribution
of patronage at the behests of the
professional politicians. But the
president proposes to pursue a con-
servative course, judging each case
on its merits, after careful inquiry,
and not accept the say-so of this or
that office-holder as the decisive
factor. In adopting such a policy
the president will doubtless meet
with bitter opposition, but in the
end il will add to rather than detract
from the efficiency of his closing ad-
ministration, and strengthen instead
of impair the republican organiza-
tion.

THE FATE OF THE AMENDMENTS

The amendments eXempting the
academy of sciences from taxation,
extending the sessions of the legisla-
tion, exempting shipping from tax
alton, and providing for amending
the codes have been defeated. The
seawall act, the district appellate
courts, and exempting 800 Of per-
sonal property from taxation have
been adopted. The result is a curl
GUS compound of Inconsistency, tend
ing to shake ones faith in the initi-
ative and referendum, advocated by
many as an antidote for all public
wrongs. Here were several pro-
posed laws submitted to the people
for approval or disapproval. 1t is
safe to say that not more than one
in every four persons voted on these
amendments. The most objection
able and un-American of the whole
lot, namely the exemption of 500
worth of personal property was
adopted by perhaps the largest
majority outside of the San Fran
cisco seawall act, against which
there was scarcely any opposition.
Some years back we opened the door
by exempting church property from
taxation. Next the Stanford uni
versity was withdrawn from the
assessment roll. This year kin
dred educational institution, the
academy of sciences, the gift of
James Lick, is voted down, also the
exemption of shipping, but at the
same time personal property of the
value of 800 is wiped from the
assessment rolls throughout the
state. The truth is, when the policy
of exempting any property-other
than strictly public property-from
assessment is once entered upon,
there is no logical stopping place.
The spirit that strikes church prop
erty, or shipping or any other kind
of tangible value, from taxation,
would, pressed to its fair and legiti-
mate conclusion, abolish the entire
system of taxation of property.
There is no reason why the man
having only 500 worth of property
should not contribute his mite for
the support of the government as
well as the millionaire. The one en-
joys the protection of the govern
ment the same as the other. 1t is
no argument to say that one who
has only one hundred dollars of per-
sonal effects, escapes taxation any
way. The assessor, as a rule, does
not list such small holders. Whether
that be so or not, it is very differ
ent proposition from placing the
doctrine of exemption in the con-
stitution. The Ledger in speaking
of the proposed amendments before
the election, declared the 500 ex-
emption proposition as the most
vicious and demagogic of the lot, at
the same time predicting that it
would probably be carried, because
it was framed to catch the vote of
the masses, regardless of its abstract
merits,

A Big Contract.

Inc California Gas & Electric Cor
poratlon OF San Francisco. Cal, has
contracted to supply the United Rail
roads OF San Francisco with all the
power necessary to operate its electric
lines Ior twenty years, beginning jan
uarv l, 1905. This means that electric
ny developed by water power in the
sierra Nevada mountains will be trans
mltted nearly l50 miles at 10000 volts
TO operate the street cars of San Fran
cisco. 10 prevent any Interruption of
service, 16, ZOO H. P. auxiliary plant
Is to be installed in San Francisco. This
Will consist of 1000 K. W. dynamos
directly connected to gas engines oper-
ated by crude oil water gas from a new
gas-maklng plant to be installed Con-
tracts for the auxiliary plant have been
let.-Mining & Scientific Press.
The above extract will explain the
big works now in process of construc-
ton at the power plant at Electra, and
Is also Indicative of the vast works
contemplated in this county in order to
place the company in position to
carry out its contract. The Gas and
Electric Corporation have other sources
OF power besides the water sheds of
Amador county, but it is conceded that
this county offers by far the best field
for the extension of the power system.
10 furnish 16, 900 horsepower to oper-
ate the electric lines of the Market
Street Railroads of San Francisco, will
necessitate doubling of the power
plant. The new pipe line now being
laid, with fall of nearly 100 feet, will
be sufficient to more than meet this re-
quirement. But it means an immense
addition to the water supply and the
storage capacity of the corporation.
1t involves new ditch lines, or the en-.
largement of the existing lines, more
reservoirs, and the consequent employ
ment of small army of employees
| for the coming year. The outlook
for the industrial development of the
south end of Amador county was never
brighter than at the present time
