DAVENPORT DOTS,

Got in Wrong House.-A number OF
people residing in the vicinity OF Sew
enteenth and Iowa streets were rudely
awakened from their SAUNDERS yester-
day morning by piercing cries for help
in woman's voice that penetrated the
still night air. The repeated screams
brought open windows and disheveled
heads were thrust out to.see what the
matter could be. investigation re
vealed the fact that the cries issued
from a little house at 17O1 Iowa street,
occupied by Mrs. Alice r. Blackerl. a
widow with two children. IL seems
that a man who resides on East Pleas
ant street, saw the house and evident
ly believed himself TO be nearer home
than ne really was. He went around
10 the back door and pushed IL open.
As il was only propped shut with a
chair set against il, this was compare
lively easy. Officer Kaiser was soon
on the spot and secured the man. Be
fore calling the wagon. however he
asked Mrs Blackett if she wished 10
prosecute. BY that time Mrs. Blackett
had learned who the man was AS he
had been a former neighbor of hers
and as she knew his character to be
good. even though he did now and then
go on harmless spree. she decided to
let him go.

There is much talk about abolish
ing the state poll tax. 1t is the
most unpopular tax ever devised,
cry these abolitionists. Is any form
of taxation popular with the par
ticular class that has to plank down
the coin? People are not enamored
with taxation of any sort. They pay
taxes from necessity rather than
choice. The poll tax is most unpop-
ular because it hits the largest num-
Der. 1t is not an unjust tax. 1t is
the only way of reaching tens OF
thousands of persons who, while
sharing in the benefits of govern
ment, would otherwise contribute
nothing to its support To repeal
the poll tax would wipe half mil
lion dollars from the states income,
and this at time when statesmen
are racking their brains to find new
sources of revenue to meet the grow
ing demands Of government.

The people of the state generally
would take more stock in the pro-
fessions of reform of the legislative
solons now in session at Sacramento
if the law makers would first tackle
the abuses within their own ranks.
They certainly do not expect much
from a body of grafters who pile on
attaches so that they are tumbling
over each other, and are really an
impeachment rather than help in
the line of legislative work. 1t has
got to be serious question whether
the members are running the at
taches, or the attaches running the
legislators. physician heal thy
self" is motto which the California
legislators would do well to apply to
themselves. There is no branch of
the government that is more in need
of reform than the state legislatu ture.
That body seems to think that its
most important work is to fasten an
army of attaches upon the public
treasury. The people pray to be de-
livered from the biennial raids of
these law makers. It is the crying
evil, whose baleful influence tends to
demoralize the state government.

The direct legislation league has
had introduced a proposed constitu-
tional amendment providing for the
initiative and referendum in state,
cities and counties. Any ordinance
of city or county or law of the state
must be submitted to vote of the
people on a petition signed by ten
per cent of the qualified voters.
Notwithstanding the slow and cum
bersome method of law making which
this would entail, it is realized by
many thinking men throughout the
state that this plan affords a solu-
tion of the problem of getting rid of
unwholesome enactments which are
passed for the benefit of a few inter-
ested parties.

he is here lobbying in the interests of
the gun clubs of the state. Do the
farmers and boys who go hunting on
Sundays and holidays and who like to
fish occasionally, realize that an effort
is being made to make those amuse-
ments quasi criminal in order that a
few men may enjoy the sport which has
always been the right of the many? Do
the people understand that every man
who has shot gun is to be taxed, for
the purpose of discouraging hunting,
except by few persons who own large
preserves? Do the men who shoot a
few ducks and sell them, realize that
what they arr doing is to be made a
misdemeanor, uut because there are
not enough ducks, but because a few
genial gentlemen think they would
have better sport if the commoner class
of hunters were excluded from the
right to shoot game? And this is being
done by state official who is here,
drawing his money out OF the state
treasury for the purpose of cornering
the game of the state for few of his
personal friends, if he has no other
more tangible motive You must
either hunt on your own property or
get some one to give youa duck if these
laws pass. No restaurant keeper can
serve them to his customers, no hotel
or boarding house can ever offer them
to its guests. That is the scheme, and
it is time that the people should oppose
it if they do not favor it.

In quality, the legislature is going to
give the Yosemite park back to the
federal government unless all the signs
fail. If you could have listened to the
debate on the subject in the senate, you
would have fancied that the park was
to be moved out of the state, and that
the federal government was something
alien and antagonistic to California
The arguments were very purile, and
the debate was more remarkable for
length than prOfundity.

CONSTITUTION CON
VENTlON.

The subject of calling another con-
stitutional convent tion to frame a
brand new state constitution is being
discussed. 1t is likely that the leg
islature will take action in that di-
rection at this session. The present
constitution was adopted when the
sand-lot agitation was at its flood.
The organic law bears the impress
of that movement. Few will DENY
that it is far from being model con-
stitution. 1t has taken all these
years to have its doubtful provisions
interpreted by the supreme court.
Moreover it is long way from be-
ing fully and stably settled yet. The
same process of Interpretation would
have to be gone through again in
the event of a new constitution.
The law would then for years be in a
more unsettled condition than it is
now. 1t would take many years to
reach the vantage ground we occupy
now, if a new constitution were
sprung upon us. Faulty though
our fundamental law. may be, it is
doubtful if constitutional conven-
tion would remedy matters. We
can better mend the defects by
amendments than attempt the cure
all process of a new instrument. Of
course to call constitutional con-
vention would require favorable
vote of the people. The expense of
convention would be heavy, with
the chances of betterment extremely
slim. The Ledger is of the opinion
that we can do better by sticking to
the old document, and patching it
up at intervals, as we have been do
ing for the past twenty years.
