The Chicago Record Herald recently
asked number of the leading congress
men Of the west to express their
opinion Of certain changes which that
piper proposed to the Esch-Townsend
railroad rate bill. Congressman For
hey wrote as follows
Il cannot quite agree with your
amendment to the Esch- Townsend bill
Rt seems to me that inasmuch as that
measure was prepared to defend the
people from unjust railroad rates it will
answer the purpose better if the
minimum rate prevails until the matter
is finally decided. 1t might be fair to
provide for payment Of the differ
EDee between rates, pending the final
adjustment, if it could be done without
snfailing too much red tape and I'M
eeSsaipty, and yet such a course would
naturally court delay.
ut seems to me the most important
provision would be one to force hasty
adjustment. A manufacturer might be
able 70 DO business at a given rate to a
given point, but would be unable at a
higher rate. Under your plan the
manufacturer would proceed under the
nnfavorable rate, and after years
delay find that the unfavorable rate
stands; that might be fair to the rail
roads, bnt would be unfair to the man
odacturer, while speedy decision from
business men would undoubtedly be
fair to both
Dissatisfaction with rate should be
dled within ten days after the pro-
mitigation of the unsatisfactory rate,
and the final decision should be forced
within sixty days. Nothing in bus ness
is, go harassing as uncertainty, and
sYery law should be framed to avoid

There is something decidedly wrong,
from the average Americans point of
view, in the fact that the execution of
Johann Hoch, the Chicago criminal,
1onld be postponed through his making
provision for the payment of certain
soRrt expenses, and would not have
been postponed without such pay
ment. 1t is usually assumed that the
State, acting for the whole people, pro-
rides means for the defense of one
charged with crime when he has no
money. There is something shocking
in the realization that a money pay

stances, could secure the postponement

Which Complaint Is Filed

Property Owners Opposition
to Establishment of an
Industry Needed by Board
DENY LAUNDRY PERMIT

AS preliminary to eradicating the
Precita Valley swamp the Board of Su-
pervisors yesterday requested the
Board of Public Works to file an esti-
mate of the cost of extending. grading,
filing and sewering the following
streets:
Bryant York and Hampshire streets,
from Twenty-sixth to Army.
Potrero avenue, from Serpentine ave-
nue. to Army street, either along the
present sewer right of way from
Potrero avenue. to Army street or along
lines projected 'southerly from Potrero
avenue at Serpentine avenue.
The Board of Works was also re-
quested to file plat showing the lands
necessary to be acquired by the city
for sthe purpose of extending the
streets. The Finance Committe will fix
an appropriation for the Improvement
in the next budget. numerous protests
having been filed against the swamp
as a nuisance.
The board accepted the invitation to
attend the State Convention of Super
visors at San Diego on May 8, and the
Mayor and two Supervisors to be
named hereafter we're appointed spe-
cial committee to attend the eonven-
tion, the expenses to be paid out of the
urgent necessity fund.
The Finance Committee set aside $500
out of the urgent necessity fund to
pave Division street, between Seventh
and Eighth. and the Draymen's Asso-
citation agreed to raise an additional
$500 for the Improvement.
The recommendation of the Board of
Works that the permits for boilers at
408 Bryant street and in the match fac
tory at Eleventh and Bryant streets be
revoked unless they are made safe was
referred to the Fire Committee.
The board indefinitely postponed ac-
tion on granting the American
Laundry Company permits to maintain
Erie street, near Mission, for laundry
purposes.
Property owners and residents repre-
sented by Martin Stevens protested
against the establishment of laundry
in their midst. Stevens vehemently de-
MED the allegation that the Laundry
trust" Is behind the protestants. He
said that the latter objected to the
laundry because it would be hurtful to
the localftys interest.
Brandenstein submitted amended or
dinances imposing a license tax of SO
per quarter on keepers of dance halls; a
graduated license of from $3 to 800 per
quarter on owners of hotels, boarding,
lodging, tenement and apartment

freshment. The amendments were re-
ferred to the License Committee.

sociation petitioned that funds be pro-
vided to keep the streets in the whole

cif1c appropriation of $4,000 be made to
