THE WIDE OPEN" POLICY
IN SAN FRANCISCO

Gov. Folk has told us what the pol
has done for St Louis and the State
of Missouri generally. The San Fran
cisco grand jury that has just conclud-
ed an eight months inquiry into
charges of municipal misgovernment
shows what that city mas had to wit
ness and endure as the result of lax
and corrupt administration.
Mayor Schmitz. elected and subse-
quently reelected as labor candi-
date, enjoying the support OF fact
ion and boss of one of the regular
parties, may or may not be his own
master, To the honest and decent
citizen 1t is no excuse for any execu-
tive to say, as has been said of Mr..
SchmitZ. that he must do the bid
ding of power behind inis chair.
Whether Mayor Schmitz be weak or
strong, he is responsible for the ad-
| ministration of the affairs of San
| Francisco. Here is the picture paint
| ed by the grand jury:
| We find that vice and crime have
| been organized so Systematically and
fostered with such vigilant attention
to detail that nothing which business
acumen or political expediency could
suggest has been neglected or omit
ted: all the operation of the sys-
TEN is perfect; speedy detection and
swift punishment overtake the yici-
ous and criminals who cannot pay
the price.
1 IN T. ra,- ~, Of rraF and
blackmail. The grand jury does not
directly accuse either the mayor or
his appointees of demanding and re-
|ceiving graft, but 1t mas no doubt that
the lawbreakers pay literally and that
somebody gets the price for official
negligence. connivance and acquies-
cence. Referring to the police officials
ii says that If the systematic and
wholesale violation of law by gamb-
lers and others be the result of in
competence, that incompetence is of
such CONSPICUOUS quality that "it
must have been studiously cultivated,
patiently acquired and amply com
pensated
1t is evident that the Pacific coast

IT would he done If the voters were

to Mr.. Smith, he said:
My object in visiting this section
at this time Is to enforce. or take the
preliminary steps to enforce, on the
part OF the state the contracts with
purchasers of timber of the state land
ooard. The particular feature of these
contracts II has been deemed wise
and very important TO enforce has ref.
erence to the removal of the limbs,
trash and debris caused by the remov-
al Of the timber. As strange as II
may seem. no move or effort has ever
heretofore been made to enforce this
feature OF timber cutting contracts.
and the result Is. except in very few
notable Instances. the timber has been
removed and the brush and debris
eft without the least effort to pro
tect the remaining young growing
timber, and as a menace to the for
esis because of dangerous invitation
to hres. 1t Is my purpose to visit al
the sections OF state lands from which
| timber has been sold and by persona

every Instance, where the conditions
warrant, viii enforce strict compli
ance with the contract Reasonable
time viii be given to pile the brush
