TAXES ARE TOO HIGH.

The Independence county grand jury, which adjourned last week, made the following recommenda- tion in its report:
 We want to say from our per sonal knowledge and with conver- sation with scores of the best citi- zens of this county, that we be- lieye the taxes of Independence county are excessive in the ex- treme and we believe there is no just cause therefor, and they should be very materially lowered. We most respectfully recommend that this part of our report be re- ferred to the county judge of In dependence county, and that he be requested to read it to the next quorum court as soon as 1t assemblies and before their levy of taxes is made. ,

A SUSPICIOUS PROJECT

1t seems that Los Angeles has not yet
fought its owen river water contest
to finish. The fight was won against
the kickers in Inyo county, led by the
congressman in whose district that
county is situated. The sinister opposi-
ton of electric corporations in Los
Angeles also was successfully met.
Now, however. a company comprising
some well known local spectators has
launched a scheme which is looked
upon with distinct disfavor, to say the
least, by officials who have the man
agement of the eity's interests in the
water project,
Notwithstanding the plausible argu-
ment presented In extenso by the com.
pany in question. there Is good ground
for the conclusion that the company'i
purpose is inmleal to the city's IN.
terests. The project Of building a rail
way across more than two hundred
miles of desert end mountain, as al
aid to a colonization project IN a smal
valley, gives cause for suspicion tina

TALKS TO WIVES

There are two stock answers given by
wives when they are asked the crucial
question, What would you do II your
husband seemed inclined to fall In love
with another woman?
One answer Is, II wouldn't co any
thing: I'd let him gol" and the other,
I'D hirt with some one myself" Fur
ther than this the imagination does not
seem to go.
The first answer, translated means:
"If my husband could fall so far from
my ideal of him he wouldn't be my hus-
band any more. / would feel only in
difference and contempt for him."
The other answer is of different
caliber: "If he sees that he Is in danger
of losing me he may regain his interest
In me. What another man admires he
may admire too, and find that he loves
find that he cannot neglect me with
impunity."
Both answers are. of course, superb
cial and based on the feeling of the
moment--the feeling of getting even."
But the woman who is in danger of
losing her husbands affections will
have many moments not to be evolved
into sentences so clear cut and self
sufficient. II a woman does know that
her affection is killed for man when
she finds him beginning to be attracted
elsewhere, then, indeed, the situation is
simplified. II one no longer loves,
everything is ended-the worst hurt is
over. But in real life the woman who
speaks the most proudly Is the one who
finds it most impossible to live up to
that ultimatum of Indifference. To see
the one she loves daily, in all the init
mate domestic happenings, to have
eve1-Ufhf sneak of those cords of mar
ried life by which they are bound to-
gether, to know that there are still
times when he is tender and she is dear
oh, that is not to wish him to go! He
must stay and love her best, or she will
die.-Harper's Bazaar.

TOO SUCCESSFUL A SERMON

IT dined at the Carlton with the
Howard Goulds in London" said
globe trotter "Afterward we took our
coffee on the raised platform of the
foyer, where the orchestra plays and
where you get an excellent view of the
smart London world.
Mrs. Howard Gould entertained us
with the story of her last balloon trip.
She had stayed up much longer and
gone much farther than had been in
tended.
The trip she said, ruefully, was a
little too successful
"'Oh,' said 1, can anything be too
successful?'
"A temperance sermon was once too
successful said Mrs. Gould
"And she told us how woman
preached one morning a temperance
sermon to her husband, who was suf-
fering from the effects Of the night
before.

there is something far more important
concealed behind the railway enter
prise.
A particularly Suspicious circum-
stance. in connection with the sud-
den protection OF this railway project
to connect Los Angeles with owens
valley, is the warm support given to
IL by the local newspaper organ Of the
electrical corporations. The organ
says: "Mr. Chaffey is entitled to fair
play; so far he has been assailed and
traduced in the regulation manner,
much after the style handed out to the
Evening News, which Is contending for
the whole truth in relation to this
project"
A very intimate relationship between
the electric companies and the chief
promoter of the aforesaid railway
scheme is evident. 1t will be remem-
bered that when the city acquired Its
rights to the owens river water an
offer from the electric interests was
made to construct the conduit and take
as consideration the water power for
electric purposes.
1t looks like cool effrqntery, certain
ly, for the desert railway promoter to
ask the board Of water commissioners,
at the outset of his argument, to with
draw the opposition at Washington to
which you have just given official APP
proval in the resolutions adopted by
your honorable board" The resolu-
tions in question were published in The
Herald, their purport being a request
that no owens river water privileges
be considered by the government with
out notification to the Los Angeles
authorities.
The water commissioners and their
engineers are on the alert, however, for
all schemes that are being sprung, or
that may be sprung, inimical to the
citys owens river water project

PACIFIC TRADE CONTROL

A report from Yokohama is to the
effect that the big Japanese steamship
company, the Toyo Yusen Kaisha, is
likely to absorb the Pacific Mail line.
That causes the alarm to be sounded
on this side of the ocean that the Amer
lean flag is in danger Of being elimin-
ated from transpacifc trade. Only the
Great Northern railways steamship
line plying between Seattle and the
Orient would be left to fly the Amerl-
can flag, it is said in case the Pacihc
Mail interests be merged in the Japan
ese company.
It is not difficult to discern the cause
of this scare about the Sunburst nag
driving the stars and stripes from trat-
fic across the Pacific ocean. The dis
patch referred to throws light upon
the pretended scare in this sentence:
"It is definitely understood that since
the failure of the shipping subsidy
bill in America the Togo Yusen Kaisha
company will buy" etc. The subsidy
bill that was scotched but not killed
in the last session of congress is the
little Joker under the thimble of so
licitude for the American flag on the
Pacific.
AS the flag on the Pacific Is jeopar-
dized because of failure of the ship
ping subsidy BILL" as averred, it logic
ally follows that passage of the SUBJ
sidy bill in the next session of congress
would enable Americans to see "by the
dawns early light" or otherwise, that
"our flag is still there" floating over
the topsail of a Pacific Mail liner.
The Pacific Mail company is chronic
suppliant for subsidies, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it is party to a pool
which maintains transpacific passenger
rates twice as high, comparatively, as
the rates charged by transatlantic
steamship companies. And the poo
partner of the Pacific Mail company
is the Japanese company, which has
been acting in concert with the Pacific
Mail concern during the last seven
years, excepting the time when the
Japanese steamships on the line be-
l
tween San Francisco and the Orient
were impressed by the government fol
war purposes.
The star spangled banner effort tc
stimulate the subsidy bill with new
life in the next session of congress is
ingenious, but it will prove to be non
effective. ''It is a very good scheme
if it works." but it will fail to work
The American foreign shipping inter
ests, on both Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, have been subsidy beggars fol
years. They made a most determined
effort to force their scheme through the
first session of the fifty-ninth congress
at presumably heavy cost for lobby
service, but failure was the result.
What has come to be known in con
gress as the subsidy grab" is ghos
that will not down" That trick o.
working the flag in, as canvas daub'
are displayed on circus sideshow tents
is creditable to the genius of the grab
bers, but it will not enable them t
clutch the coveted subsidy coin.
