Practical Measures s

Value.
Mercantile Interest
Finds Its Able
Champions.
BY WILDER Walker.

Secretary Merchants Exchange OF Oakland.
The Merchants Exchange Of Oak
land has for its primary purpose the
advancement Of the interests Of Oak
land merchants. II also promotes the
welfare Of Oakland and Of the county
in all ways possible within the scope
OF its purposes. Its first aim was 10
create a better feeling among the mer-
chants, so that they might all pull to-
gether. Much has been accomplished
by reason Of this. The successes Of the
Merchants Exchange are Of several
sorts.
One matter that has strongly en-
gagged the attention Of the Merchants
Exchange is the prevention and lessen
ing Of special licenses as against mer-
chants doing business in Oakland. 1t
has been claimed by the Merchants
Exchange that there is no reason,
based on justice, why the merchants
should shoulder a special tax or license
for doing business. The money that is
necessary for carrying on the city,
we have maintained, should be raised
by general taxation. There are no
merchandise licenses in existence now
in Oakland. At times such licenses
quarter
The only licenses now existing are for
the regulation of special lines Reform
in the matter of the merchandise licen-
ses was brought about by the creation
of public sentiment in the first instance.
II is no more equitable TO specially tax
the merchant than IL is to tax by IL
cense. the dentist, lawyer or medical
practitioner. We contend against the
license for delivering goods.
The fact has been established by the
Merchants Exchange that the mer-
chants Of Oakland can deliver in their
own wagons their own merchandise
without having TO pay for license to
pursue that right Formerly the oak
land merchants had 10 pay a license
for delivering in Oakland, Alameda and
Berkeley. We took the license matter
into court. We three times contested
the license for delivering goods in Ala
media and three times for the right TO
deliver in Berkeley and for the Oak
in favor Of the Merchants Exchange
and as all five Superior Judges sat In
banc 10 hear the case, that finally set
tied the matter for good.
TRADING AT HOME.
The Merchants Exchange has striven

trade in Oakland or in Alameda Coun-

come into Alameda County every even

prepared to demonstrate that pur-

Francisco, both as regards quality and
price.

directly assisted the merchants, it has

HOW THE HOMESEEKERS
COME TO CALIFORNIA
Stockton Is Urged to Have Strangers
Notified of Section of Very
Great Resources.

The. Stockton Mail, after study of
the ways in which the present home
seekers come to California, urges that
the advantages of the country near
Stockton shall be made better known
In an editorial the Mail says:
The reports Of the Southern Pacific
Company show that during March nearly
I2 600 homeseekers came into the State over
the lines of that company. OF these 614l
came by the Ogden route and l017. by way
of Portland
1t is evident therefore that a great many
more than half of the homeseekersf entering
the State over the Southern Pacific lines
passed through Sacramento They could have
come through Stockton and stopped off here
IL they had desired TO do So and 1t is likely
that large numbers of them would have taken
advantage OF the opportunity to examine this
vicinity IL they had known that it was their
privilege to do so without extra expense
Out of the 715s colonists who came into 4 he
State by northern routes during March San
Joaquin County ought to have captured a few
hundred at least. A great many OF them nm
doubtedly made Southern California their des
tination, and unless they stopped off here on
their way through II is not likely that thew
will return in search OF land. Our ADVERTISING
literature should emphasize the desirabllitv Of
homeseekers who come by the northern or
central routes making an investigation of the
advantages OF this vicinity before proceeding
southwark.

CARTEIs, THE IR1IGATOK.

How much attention did Tom Carter
pay to irrigation when he was in the
senate? Go through the Congressional
Record with IL search warrant and try
to find one word that Carter said in
favor of an irrigation law when he was
in the senatc-and he was there six
years.
But Tom Carter wants to go back to
the senate; and the corporations want
their old friend back there. So the
corporations are working for repub1i-
can candidates for the legislature, so
as to get their reliable agent back into
the senate.
In his speech at Dillon Tom Garter
posed as the friend of irrigation. He
spoke of the vast arid territory in Mon
tana, and how the state may be bene-
fitted by the irrigation of that terri
tory He spoke of the ready market
we will have for our grin when our
10, 900, 900 acres of arid land are irri-
gated.
Montana has water enough to irri-
gate 10, 600, 600 acres of arid land. II
| will cost about $500, 900, 900 to irrigate
these acres. What has Tom Carter
done to get an appropriation Of zoe
cents for irrigation? Nothing. On the
contrary. he stood up in the senate
three and~a half years ago and defend
ed the republican policy that has re.
suited in a waste of $650,OOO 600 o.
American money on exploration of the
Philippines. He said that would pay
Now, when he wants Montana votes
to put him back in the senate, he
pleads for irrigation. His party is
wasting 500, 900, 900 on new warships
that we do not need. 1t is spending
this year Sis, 1000, 900 on the war de
partment, which is S81, OOO,O 900 NOR,
than the last Cleveland administration
cost.
The $81, 900, 900 that the Roosevelt
administration has thrown away
would 'irrigate more than one-third o
the irrigable land in Montana. Tha
much land would furnish homes TO
more than 1,OOO,OOO people. But w
must wait for our irrigation reservoir
and bitches because money is wastet
on warships and armies.
Tom Carter defends Roosevelt fol
wasting that money--and then talk
for irrigation.

THE JUDGESHIP.

The Times agrees with the Gazette
that the judiciary should be kept out
of politics and before the close of Judge
Herford's term of office, we will join
with our esteemed contemporary in
urging the bar of the district to select
one of their number to be the sole cam
didate of both parties.
In the meantime we shall continue
to urge our friends to vote for Mr.. Her
ford, not only because he is demo-
crat, but by reason of his superior fit
ness for the Office. Mr.. Herford' 5
qualities as lawyer are so we'll
known that he has the active support
of most of the. members of the bar in
the district, and especially in his home
county. The Gazette, with fairness
that does it credit, admits that Mr..
Herford is 'an estimable gentleman
and "a good and honest man," so that
it the lawyers admit his legal qualifi-
cations, about which they are presumed
to be the best judges, the lay citizens
ought surely to be satisfied.
| Now, word as to the legal learning
of Mr.. Loud, which the Gazette sc
highly eulogizes.
1t says: ''In the matter of being
sustained by the supreme court his re-
cord is particularly an enviable one
Fewer reversals are scored agains
him than almost any other judg,
whose cases have been reviewed BY

This statement has caused a broad
smile to illuminate the faces of tn
lawyers, as it is we'll known fac
that Judge Loud has higher per cen
of reversals than any judge in tn
state, not excepting Harvey and Clan
cy of Butte. II the Gazette will take

Probably in all the Montana reports
there is no such scathing opinions re-
corded as that of Mr.. Justice Pigott in
reviewing the decision of 1.-The State
OF Montana VS.. WEIGH, reported In y
Montana, page SO. Judge Loud SEN
fenced the defendant to the penitentiary
for life for murder in the second de-
gree, and the supreme court searched
the records in vain for proof of the de-
PENDANTS guilt Judge Pigott, in
commenting on the evidence in that
case, used the following vigorous
language:
vain for proof of the defendants
guilt. It is the deliberate opinion of
the court that there was no competent
evidence whatever upon which to base
conviction. There was not even
scintilla of evidence having tendency
to induce reasonable and appropriated
men to believe that WEIGH aided, abet
ted, advised or encouraged the murder
of Brown, or that he conspired with
any other person to that end. The
verdict was clearly the result Of pas
e;
or at least inflamed, in some degree,
by the incompetent hearsay declora-
tons testified to by the negro as hav-
ing been made to him by Regina Ged-
DIES. The record presents, not mere
case Of insu Efficiency of evidence to
warrant a conviction, but one of utter
failure of proof; and therefore the
court should have granted the motion
to instruct the jury to find the defend
| ant not guilty. There is a distinction
