NEW PAPER TRUST
GRADUALLY FORMING
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept ia blanket in =
crease of SIS a ton in the price of wrap
ping paper and other grades of wood
fiber papers, with Il corresponding ad-
vance in other classes, has raised the
fear among Chicago dealers that ne w
trust is forming.
This fear is augmented by the fact
that the notices abolishing former
schedules were withdrawn by all the
mills simultaneously and the prices
listed thus far have been identical.
While 1T is believed a new combna =
tion of paper manufacturers has been
or is being formed, it is not thought it
VIII be so complete as that effected un-
!! der the General Paper company.
This concern, which was known as
the trust, went out of business last
May as the result of an injunction suit
brought at ST. Paul, Mimi, by the fed
eral government. The company refused
to show it's books. and when ordered to
do so by the court agreed to accept
Judgment and go out of business.
The theory of the Chicago paper brok
ers is that this error will not be made a
second time, and that no one firm will
be allowed to handle the output of all
the mills in the combine. 1t is pointed
out that practically the same result can
be obtained by an association if the
members adhere to the agreement

naming the above county ticket and
adopted the following address:
1.-The non-partisan organization of
Los Angeles county sends greetings to
it's fellow citizens.
1--WE prot est against the further tole-
ration of naming of Legislative, judicial
and administrative officers in this
county by a railroad foreman, and de-
mand that the hired men in public
places be replaced by officials repre-
Senting the people.
The complete domination of public
affairs in this county by the Southern
Pacific and its allied concerns, the
prostitution of public offices and the
filling of important places with pliable
tools, the Spoliaton of public property
and rights of individuals affecting
transportation, the increased cost of
living and inequality in taxation have
impelled us to present to the electors
OF this count "A choice of candidates
for the pu bile Offices to be filed at the
ensuing election.
Against s. p. Program
1--WE are not prepared to accept the
program of the Southern Pacific that the
laws of this state and county, the ad-
ministration of the courts and of the
board of supervisors and the acts of
county officers are to be administered
solely in the interests of the Southern
Pacific and by men designated solely
by it.
THE government of this county and
state is not In fact represen tative in
character, but in it's various branches
it is domin ated by the Southern Pacific,
for its own aggra and to
crush Individual rights, with the ulti-
mate purpose of absorbing the earn
ings and properties of the whole people,
Reforms Advocated
Among the reforms which we advo-
cate are the following:
Il. That the original direct Aus
tralian ballot be restored to the people
so that the voice of the people may be
directly heard and may be expressed
in direct primaries and direct elections
by the Australian group ballot without
the Intervention Of caucuses or conven-
tion, and we denounce the present de-
vices of the Southern Pacific and its
confedera ted corpora tions to pervert the
public voice through the present in
famous system of election laws and the
tricky voting machines.
"2 We demand that the guaranty
i'm the constitution of equal taxation be
applied to the taxation OF the property
and franchises of public utility COR
porations. and that they be taxed at
their true and just value as evidenced
by the market value of their securities
and by their earnings.
I'VE denounce the Illegal devices by
which such corporate property pays
less than it's just share of taxation,

troduced by Senator Hahn, and Mr.
Loucks gave Governor Pardee great t
credit for vetoing the measure. against
which the League of municipalities of
California made a determined fight.
Mr.. Loucks continued:
1--WE must go into this fight on per-
nanent basis A judiciary committee
must be sent to Sacramento in the inter-
est of the people. The Southern Pacific
has sent a third house to the state
capital: now let us send fourth house.
Help the League of Municipalities in its
fight and in few years you will have
laws that will be in the interest of the
people instead of in the interest of the
corporations"
One in Local Affairs
Major w. r. Burke said that he was
proud to be connected with such an
organization as the Citizens COM
mittee.
LAS much as we may differ in national
policies, we must concede that the cleo
tom of men to local offices is surely a
business affair" said the major. He

Volney Craig of Pasadena raised a
laugh by declaring that the voters of
Pasadena would toll the Bell for Hahn.
w. A. johnson of Pomona told of an
incident when he was in the legislature
when forestry bill was not permitted
by the Southern Pacific to pass until IL
had been revised by agents of the road
and until all reference to railroads had
been stricken out.
Judge Trask Talks

Deputy Game Warden Stephen de

robbed of two stars, $S5 and revol-
yer by highwaymen last night at $3.50
o'clock, while he was returning TO his
home after having served in keeping
order during the fire at San Pedro.
The hold-up occurred near Fifth av-

a few blocks of the heart of the CITY,
but although De Voc was prompt to
give the alarm, the police failed to To-
cate the men.
Long Beach in that vicinity, at that

an early train from Terminal Island.
He left the car on Ocean Front avenue
and started to walk home.
At the Salt Lake tracks he left the
well lighted thoroughfare and went
east along the tracks. He had not
walked more than two blocks before he
saw two men walking on the track
a short distance ahead of him. One
was tall and slim and the other short
and rather stockily built.

To Preserve Harbors
"a. We oppose the scheme of laws
devised in the interest of the Southern
Pacific and allied Hartman interests
by which the harborS of this coast, and
especially the great national harbor OF
San Pedro, is controlled by handful OF
men to the exclusion of the rights OF
the people of the state of California and
of the entire United States
1--WE demand that the regulatio and
control of harbors should be by pub
lie board, representing the whole people
and that no N,rbor frontage should be
given or appropriated to any in
dividual or private use, but should be
held solely for public uses and that all
the water front now illegally held by
persons and corpora tions be recovered
for the people and restored to public
use.
Oppose Pro-corporation Laws
IS. We favor the abolition of the
laws which prevent the recovery OF
damages against the large corporations
for PERSONAL injuries and the like, and
demand that the courts be so admins
Justice and right to the poorest indi-
Vidual that it gives to the greatest cor
poration.
"6. We denounce the system of laws
devised in the interests of the Southern
Pacific and placed on our statutes, by
which competing lines of railroad are
prevented from building to our coast
and especially denounce the so-called
railroad crossing act, which practically
prevents new roads from crossing exist
ing lines of railroad
For Free Commerce
~. We demand that the barriers to
commerce by water erected by the
Southern Pacific be removed. and that
free commerce be restored. This neces-
sitates the restoration of the public
water front to the people and the open"
ing of commerce between the coast and
interior points over scounty highways
and competing railroads. The railroad
combine through it's administration OF
the laws and control of public bodies,
has prevented the vast volume OF
freight which might move by water
from so moving, or from taking The
water rate by rail, and which is MAIN
tanned by a pool, thereby enormously
increasing the burd ems of the people OF
Southern California.
"S, We condemn race track gambling
in all its forms and pledge our nominees
| for supervisors, state senate and as
sembly to labor increasingly to the END
that 1t may be abolished.

ecutive committee, presided in the abb
sence of Chairman l.. H. Valentine.
Immediately after the opening of the
meeting Secretary North read the
names selected by the executive COM
mittee, and by a unanimous vote and
with cheers the men named by the ex-
ecutive committee were declared the
nominees of the Citizens party.
With the same unanimous vote the
committee of one hundred adopted the
address to the citizens of Los Angeles
county, after which stirring addresses
were made by a number of leaders in
the Independent county movement
James p Booth, nominee for coroner,
and D. A. Schweitzer, nominee for
township justice of the peace, were the
only candidates pres ent, and each made
a speech which was heartily cheered.
legislative Conn mittee Favored
Senator ,Colwell of Riverside, in re-
Sponse to a demand for a speech, eX-
pressed the hope that men of good
character will be sent to the Legislature.
He said that the people Of the state
were responsible for the men sent to
the legislature. In the case of Bunkers,
the boodler, the people who sent him
were wrong, and when they sent him to
the penit entary they really did not
send the right man.
He regretted the giving away of the
water front at San Pedro, and he de-
clared that he doubted whether there is
a foot of free harbOr left in Southern
| Californa.
Senator Colwell urged the appoint
ment of a law committee to draw up
bilh With such a commite there was
hope that something would be accom-
plished toward the protection OF the
rights of the people
From Democratic Standpoint
Joseph II. Call, who was called upon
as a aiding Democrat to make a
speech admitted that for twenty years
he had been Democrat i'm princnie,
| but that ne always refused to vote for
mar not worthy of public office. He
said that the resolutions adopted re-
\ nected his sentiments and those of
every member of the committee.
He declared that there Is one issue
which cannot be disguised. The real
| question is whether we are to retain
our repu blican institutions. In speak
| ing of harbor franchises he said:
IF there Is more than one point OF
| water front from one end of California
to the other not controlled by the
I Southern Pacific or its allied interests
l do not know of it. That one point Is
| at Long Beach, where a private COM
pany soon will have five miles OF
/ wharfage. and aside from this there Is
not piece of water front fire from the
domination of the Southern Pacific"
He said that the Southern Pacific and
/ it's allies had had passed laws which
rob the people Of their rights and pre-
vent the incoming of competing lines,
and he declared that the question was
whether we are going to yield our
rights, personal and political, to the
corporations.

Appointment of A. M. WheatIey Con-
flrmed by General Manager Moh-
Ter of Union Pacific-Headquar-
tiers Building at Omaha to Be En-
Iarged-Railroad Matters.

A. NJ. Wheatley of Moline, ILL.,, has
been appointed assistant superintend-
ent of motive power and machinery of
the Union Pacific, says the Omaha Bee.
This appointment has been confirmed
by General Manager Mohler. Mr..
Wheatley is man of wide experience
in the work and comes from the Rock
Island, for which road he has been
superintendent of motive power. Prior
to going with the Rock Island Mr.,
Wheatley was for thirteen years su'
perintendent of motive power for the
Northern Pacific.
1t was announced hat Mr.. McKeen
given an assistant because of the
heavy work which has been piling upon
him in connection with the added du'
ties of constructing motor cars. This
appointment, however, is taken by
those in a position to know, that Mr.
'McKeen will not sever his connection
with the Union Pacific if he takes
charge of the big shops which will be
built for the construction of motor
cars, but will still remain as head OF
motive power and machinery for the
Union Pacific.

The Union Pacific may not build its

but instead probably will enlarge the
present building on the adjoining land,
which has been bought, General Man
ager Mohler says he has made strenu-

cation of the e building, but as soon
as the rumor was out that any certain

company the price was raised to a pro-
hibitory figure. 1t is understood recon-
