FOR TAX REFORM.
California Commission VIII Recommend
That Corporations be Assessed on
Gross Receipts Hereafter.

San Francisco, Oct. 26.-According
to the. report Of state tax commits
sion which has been in Berkeley for
the past three days finishing its final
report for submission to the legtsla-
ture, the corporations Of the state
will be assessed on their gross re-
celpts and not on their net earnings.
This kind of taxation has been taken
out Of the hands of the counties and
hereafter the state of California will
exercise the right Of taxing the pub
lie service utilities throughout the
state. This tax will support the stata
and local property tax will support
the county. The commission also re-
commends that the assessment of real
property shall be based on the actual
value of the property in question, The
commission also favors low tax rate.

Washington, Oct 25.-Postmaster
General Cortelyou has submitted to
the secretary of the treasury for
transmission to congress estimates for
the postoffice department for the
coming fiscal year. The amount
asked for salaries in the postoffice
department is s1,52S,92O, being net
Increase OF $121,530 over the appro-

ent appropriation Of S15,000,0OO.
The estimates last year were about
$12 900, 900 in excess Of the appropri-
alton for the year before, so that the
increase this year is about $S,OO0,OOO
more than the increase last year.
The apparently large increase in ex-
penditures contemplated by the pres

partment, represents but a normal
advance over the expenditures Of last
year, made necessary to meet the
constantly growing needs Of the ser
vice and, the public demand for i'm

are as follows:
Compensation Of postmasters, an
increase Of s1.50O.0OO; compensation

met meeting lasted two and ohs-hali
hours and was attended By all the
members except Secretary Shaw and
Postmaster General Cortelyou. Among
the important matters discussed was
the situation growing out Of the an
ti-American sentiment in Japan and
the exclusion Of Japanese children
from the public schools OF San Fran
cisco. It was stated by member OF
the cabinet after the meeting that
the general opinion was that the Ja-
panese situation was exceedingly
grave and would require the most
delicate treatment to avoid an open
rupture.
Japanese restaurant keepers have
suffered indignities in San Francisco
as well as japanese school children,
according to reports received by the
Japanese ambassador, Viscount Aoki,
from Japanese consular officers In
that city.
At least seven or eight reports have
been made concerning boycott In
augurated against Japanese restau'
rants in the California city. Agents
have been posted to prevent patrons
from entering the restaurants and IN
several instances stones have been
thrown and windows broken, accord
ing 10 the statements Of Japanese Of
ficials.
II developed Friday that the pro
ceedings initiated in San Francisco
Thursday to compel the authorities
to receive Japanese pupils into the
public schools were directed by the
department Of justice.
President Roosevelt has directed
Victor H. Metcalf, secretary OF the de-
partment Of commerce and labor, TO
proceed to San Francisco and make q
thorough and complete inquiry into
the situation.
San Francisco, Oct. 27.--Judge VOL
berton. Of the United States circuit
court, has issued an order to the
board Of education Of San Francisco
citing that body to show cause why
an Injunction compelling the reinstate-
ment Of l. Yasuhara, Japanese pupil
recently excluded from the PACING
Heights grammar school should not
be issued The board is ordered 10
answer on November 5.
This order was issued following an
application for an injunction pre-
sented to Judge Wolberton with the
intention Of making this a test case
The application for the injunction Is
made on the grounds that the present
resolution Of the board Of education
excluding Japanese pupils from tine
city schools is in violation Of the con-
stitution of the United States and also
in violation Of treaty now existing
between the United States and the
empire of Japan.

The announced intention of the
president to appoint Mr.. Moody to

surprise as 1t was generally under
stood that he had eliminated the at

that connection because Of the fact
mainly that Massachusetts, already has
a representative on the bench in the

Mr.. Moody's nomination will be sent

that he will not take his seat on the

Press Soldering Down.

washington. Oct 26.-Wscount
,AOki, the Japanese ambassador, after
! long conference at the state depart
men Thursday with Secretary ROOT
cOncerning the outbreak Of anti-Amer-
ican sentiment In Japan said that the
exclusion Of Japanese children from
San Francisco schools was the cher
cause Of the harsh criticism Of the
United States. He was inclined 70
discount the other causes given FOR
the sentiment against this country.
No formal protest was lodged BY
me ambassador with Mr.. Root, but
IL 4 friendly way Viscount Aoh dis
cussed the situation with the secre-
tary and expressed regret that Japa-
nese children should be Disseminated
against.
"The friendship between the United
States and Japan is too genuine and
OF too long standing to justify any
formal protest on the part of Japan
because Of wrongs her citizens may
have suffered In some one locality in
the United States" said Viscount
Aoki. There Is much misunderstand-
ing in Japan concerning the true sit
uatlon. OF course, the Japanese gov
eminent fully realizes that the action
against the Japanese children Is local
and not general in this country, but
al the Japanese people do not under
stand conditions In this country and
= local unfriendliness to Japanese is
regarded by many persons as q ma
tional action"
The action against the Japanese
children is regarded extremely serious
By viscount Aoki, and he made no
attempt to discount its Importance.
AFTER all the years Of friendship
between the two nations It seems too
bad that the poor little japanese
school children should be subjected to
such indignitles," said the ambassa-
dor. "such action on the part Of To-
cal authorities in this country is re-
scented very bitterly by all Japanese"
Toxic, Oct. 26.-It is definitely be-
lleved here that the anti-Japanese
feeling in America is confined to the
labor element. The tone Of the Jap
anese press is SOLDERING down.
Thoughtful Japanese believe that IL
the country allowed itself to be car
ried away by a momentary excite
ment against America this would
only play into the hands Of those
who are anxious to ALLEVIATE foreign
sympathies from Japan. 1t is gener
ally felt that the friendship between
America and Japan is too deep-root
cd to be sacrificed through local an.
Imosities.

Experience during past years has shown
that the ground waters OF the Maine
coast are highly important in the develop
ment OF the various interests located
there. This part of the country has for a
number OF years been developing as
summer resort region, and one Of the
principal difficulties has proved to be the
uncertainty concerning water supplies.
The problem is considerably more inn
portant than that in many areas of the
United States, for the water bearing strata
are not clearly defined. The question of
underground supplies on the peninsulas
and islands along the coast is the problem
OF importance, because the availability OF
the land for summer resort purposes and
ITS market value is largely determined by
the presence or absence of good water
supplies.
The United States geological survey has
been investigating this subject since the
year 1903, and the results are nearly ready
for publication. Sources of good water
supplies have been investigated through
out the entire coast and a number of
towns have been furnished with informa-
tion as to the location of new and better
supplies. The question of pollution has
also been given attention, with the view
OF pointing out precautions necessary to
preserve the supplies in pure condition.
In addition to the determination OF the
occurrence of these waters, the quality
has been studied, and with the informa-
tion in hand it has been possible to point
out the sources of good waters and the
depths at which they occur in each local
ity under consideration.
The final report will be ready for free dis
tribution during the coming fall. Appli-
cation for copies thereof should be made
to the United States geological survey at
Washington, d. c. Preliminary advice
concerning all areas that have been in
vestigated may also be procured by special
application to the geological survey.

crop is short and they cannot run on fnii

more than one occasion in the past has
been due to high prices resulting in part
from the operations Of the boil weevil and

pay more for the manufactured product,
such as flour and cotton goods. The gov
