CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
SEE STATES PAGE FOR ALL THE NEWS
FROM YOUR OLD HOME.
How's THIS FOR LOGIC?

A WELL known business man Of Los
IN Angeles. who has taken the trouble
"A to inquire into economic questions
to the end that he might safeguard his
own activities as much as possible, not
long ago was informed by prominent
-four shipper of Minneapolis that the
freight rate on that product from Min
neapolis to Japan via Seattle was 25
cents per hundred pounds less than the
rate on Hour shipped to Seattle. In
other words, the Japan consumer gets
-four made from grain in the middle
western American states and ground in
mills in Minneapolis for less than the
consumer in Seattle has to pay for it!
This business man ironically suggests
that the fear that American working
men may not be able to enter into COM
petition in the worlds marts with the
poorly paid workingmen of Japan is
causing vast solicitude on the part of
some of our statesmen, as they seem to
want to be known, though at the same
time they favor the policy of lower
rates on goods intended for export and
for foreign consumption.
1t passeth human comprehension--it
is, at least, beyond the range of The
Heralds logic-how an American brain
may have conceived that the best way
in which to assist the workingmen of
this country in their efforts to compete
with the Japanese is to establish con-
ditions under which the former must
pay more for the very necessities of
life, on his own soil, than his foreign
competitor is asked to pay.
We have chosen -four as an illustra-
tion; but this instance finds many a
parallel in other fields of American in
dustry. What is true of flour is true, to
a greater or less extent, of nearly
everything which enters into the cost Of
American products. Two items are in
volved in this amazing condition. One
is the lower freight rates on goods ex-
ported; the other is the lower prices
asked in foreign markets by the big
industrial corporations of the United
States. Farming implements of all
kinds are sold to the competitors of
American wheat growers in various
countries for much less than the Ameri-
can farmer is compelled to pay for
them. This being true, how is it pos
sible, as some of our false economists
argue-take Wilbur F. Wakeman, exec
utive head, chief statistician and best
authority of the American Protective
,ERariff league, for instance-that the
lcky American farmer is through this
condition better able to undersell in the
yinarkets of the world wheat grown in
other countries, than if farming imple-
nents made in America sold for the
same price here and in the moreign
country?

SAN FRANCISCO ADOPTS
NEW SYSTEM OF CURRENCY

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 3.-Forty
clerks were at work all day today In
the clearing house preparing certificates
in denominations of s5, $40 and $40. which,
indorsed by all the banks in the asso-
citation, will be issued tomorrow by the
clearing house. These certificates are to
constitute a flexible currency for use In
retail trade and to meet pay rolls until
the present coin stringency is relieved.
The certificates will be accepted as
legal tender by the thirty-two banks IN
the Clearing House association and will
do much to relieve the local situation
until expected currency shipments from
the east are received. The certificates
will be retired as quickly as possible by
the banks because of the large amount
of securities deposited with the clearing
house to secure them.
1t was stated today that an important
move in connection with the financial
situation has been made by the safe
deposit companies who, it is said, have
agreed to rent no more boxes to anyone
in order to prevent the boarding OF
money in safe deposit boxes. Estimates
place the amount of money boarded in
these places in this city as high as
$10,000,000.

NO MORE ASCOT

HVHE HERALD does not believe that
the city council will meet the de-
Il mands of the promoters of the
Ascot park race track scheme. The
city kept faith with this faction among
the sporting element last winter when
the question of annexation came up,
and the only decent thing the race track
men can do now is to live up to their
part of the bargain.
Horse racing in itself is legitimate
form Of sport. Rather than discourage
IL, the average American of clean
morals whose heart pumps rich red
blood into his arteries wants to see the
noblest of animals developed to the
highest point of perfection, both as to
speed and powers of endurance. To
this end horse racing is a means.
But this is not the issue in Los An
geIes. The people are not objecting tc
horse racing. They are demanding thai
the city shall tolerate no form OF
sssport," so-called, which is made the
vehicle Of gambling and which creates
an atmosphere soaked with vice in its
grossest material form. This is why
Los Angeles will not tolerate any Ascot
ana this is why The Herald is quite
convinced that the city council will
throw all further applications of the
race track gambling coterie into the
municipal waste basket.

HOW 1T HAPPENS

nURING the months of July. August
and September, 1903, our imports
~ from Germany aggregated in value
the sum of $3O.996,7S9, while during the
same period our exports to that country
reached value of $33,O16,659. During
the corresponding period Of the present
year the imports were valued at $43,-
S44.4s5 and the exports at $5o,So7.O64.
President Roosevelt is said to have
sent a hurry call to Secretary Taft to
go to Germany-on an important mis-
sion, it is to be presumed from the ma
ture of the summons. Is it possible the
German emperor is once more viewing
with alarm the increasing balance of
trade in favor of American products?
If the complete results of the pros
pective trip of Secretary Taft be made
known to the public they will include,
taking it for granted that Mr.. Taft
diligently inquire into the causes of the
inroads upon the German market, re-
port upon the ruling prices of American
wares in the realm of the kaiser. When
the voters of America, the domestic
purchasers of the same clas of products
as those sold in Germany, undertake to
satisfy themselves as to the reason why
articles made by them can be sold in
the foreign country at a profit for much
less than the asking price in America,
they will have to fall back upon the
'I rotective" tariff as the cause.
Secretary Taft's researches should
result in great enlightenment as to who
is best protected by the tariff.

TERRIFIC STORM SWEEPS
OVER LOWER CALIFORNIA
Several Persons Caught UP by Hurri-

Sixteen Believed to
Have Perished
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. S.--Reports OF
great damage and loss of life at San Jose
del Cabo, in Lower California, on October
IA, caused by a cloudburst, were con-
firmed by passengers on the steamer Gu
racao, which arrived here from Mazatlan
yesterday.
Sixteen persons are said to have been
drowned by the torrential downpour and
more than fifty houses washed away.
The rain was preceded by hurricane
which blew with great fury for upward OF
twelve hours. Small craft in the harbor
were sunk and number of larger YES
sells badly damaged.
AS the deluge struck the town the peo-
pie were caught up, and those in the main
path of the stream had no chance OF
escape. Several were carried out to sea.
Some who escaped the flood were killed
by being crushed by flying portions OF
buildings. Two new wireless telegraph
stations were completely destroyed
Orange and lemon groves in the vicinity
were ruined and the inhabitants are said
to be destitute.
Not single relic of any of the houses
which were on the hillside remains.

SWEDEN AND NORWAY
ARE DRIFTING APART
Powers Guarantee Integrity of Nation
and King Oscars Country Is Of
fended-Treaty Admitted to
Be Rivals Work
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 3.-The signing by
representatives of Norway, France, Ger
many, Great Britain and Russia OF
new treaty guaranteeing the integrity of
Norway is subject Of general comment
throughout Sweden, against which coun-
try the treaty is alleged to be directly
or indirectly aimed.
While the treaty is admitted to be Nor
ways own concern, it already has caused
a feeling of widespread dissatisfaction,
and it is considered a serious obstacle
to the improvement in the future of the
relations between Sweden and Norway.
In high quarters regret is expressed at
Norway's efforts to place herself under
the guarantee of the powers, especially
as the declaration is made that the pow
ers may find occasion to attempt the
control Of Norway's foreign relations.
1t is said that while the negotiations
for this treaty were in progress the
question was asked by one power
whether Sweden also did not desire a
guarantee and that to this the Swedish
government answered definitely in the
negative. 1t is recalled that the Swedish
minister of foreign affairs recently made
the definite declaration that it was not
the policy Of Sweden which had rendered
necessary the guarantee sought by Nor
way.
