MEN OF NE|GHbOR
COUNTIES TO MEET
Alliance of Santa Cruz, San Ma
teo and San Francisco
Starts This Evening

Under the auspices of the merchants
association a mass meeting will be
held in Dreamland rink this even
ing at o'clock to discuss the ad-
vantages which will follow q closer CO.
operation between San Francisco and
Santa Cruz county and a better un-
derstanding of the resources of the ad-
joining counties. Large delegations
from Santa Cruz and San Mateo coun-
ties will be in attendance. Speakers
from the localities represented will be
called upon and will set forth the bene-
fits to be derived from the develop
ment of the rich section along the
coast.
George A. Knight and James d. Phs-
Ian will address the meeting on be-
half of San Francisco. William It.
Jeter. former lieutenant governor; T.
w. Kelly. president of the board of
trade, and Mayor Palmer will speak for
Santa Cruz. Edward White and Mayor
Linscott will represent Watsonville.
Father J. j. Sullivan of Halfmoon bay
also will address the gathering. A
musical program will be a feature of
the occasion.
Special attention will be called to
the valuable resources of the counties
along the coast reaching TO Santa Cruz
and to the advantages to be gained
from a closer commercial affiliation
creating-improved market conditions.
The apple industry of Watsonville
alone Is regarded as sufficient to war
rant a move for a commercial under
standing. Watsonville shipped 2,3Oo
carloads of apples last season and the
output is on the increase.
Santa Cruz is developing into one of
the largest and most popular beach
resorts on the Pacific coast. The city
expects to have 100000 visitors during
the summer.
The vast timber interests of the
coast side of San Mateo county already
have attracted attention, and 1t is esti-
mated that with proper railroad facilf-
ties lumber will be placed in the San
Francisco market at cost 25 per cent
lower than that from any other Sec
ton
Besides the large vegetable and arti4
choke gardens in this section of the
state, rich mineral, deposits await de-
velopment. The region abounds in oil,
bitumen, lime and valuable rock
In seeking market for their prod
ucts, the people of the coast section
have decided to hold a public meeting
in order to let the people OF the state
know of their rich resources.

The body of Mrs. Sego was found in
the bay off China point, Pacific Grove.
last Thursday, the day after she dis
appeared Deep knife wounds in the
neck clearly indicated that she had
been murdered. On the previous day
Smith had left his hermit hut. 1t is
believed that the crime OF murder was
preceded by another vicious offense.
When Smiths cabin was searched
two bloody shirts were found in a
washtub- A counterfeiting OUTFIT was
also discovered. Smith was traced to
San Jose, where he disposed of a blood
stained suit of clothes. He had been
seen in the vicinity of the tragedy
about the time 1t is thought TO have
occurred and had in a demented way
fnsulted several women who had passed
him. Those facts convinced the au-
thorlLles that he was the murderer.
County officers were warned to be on
the lookout for Smith. and at noon to-
day he was caught at San Juan by
City Marshal Perez of that place.
Mrs Sego was the wife of a well to
do Portuguese OF Pacific Grove. She
was about so years of ase. She for
merly lived In Watsonville.

evidence points to Smith as the mur-

Toilette continued:
ARTIFICIAL PROSPERITY
with this enormous concentration
of business it is possible to create
artihcially periods of prosperity and
periods Of panics. Prices can be low
cred or advanced at the will of the
system. When the farmer must move
his crops a scarcity of money may be
created and the prices lowered When
the crop passed into the control of the
specuiator an artificial stringency may
be relieved and prices advanced and
the illegitimate profit. raked off the
agricultural industry may be pocketed

II an effort is made to make any
one of these great interests obey the
law ii is easy for them to enter into
conspiracy to destroy whoever may
be responsible for the undertaking.
AS a common carrier the railwhy
company is entitled to charge sufi-
ciently high rates to pay operating ex-
penses and a reasonably fair return
upon the fair value of the property
which il uses for the convenience of
the public.
Tried by this standard If a railway
company has grossly overcapitaiized
its property it cannot rightfully impose
upon the public a transportation
charge TO pay any return or dividend
upon this fictitious capitalization 1t
does not signify that the public has
not yet been able to secure the ap-
plication of this standard to the rates
Of the company.
PROPOSITION ASTOUNDING
To-day we are confronted with the
astounding proposition that congress
shall hold out legislative inducement
for the exaction of transportation
charges which shall net a continuous
per cent dividend on railway capital
ization- II is idle to say that this
measure is limited in its scope; that

TREASURER IS BUSY
Depository Law Has Had a
Stimulating Effect on
Tax Payers.
MYRICK ISSUES REQUEST.

About the usual number of people
are busy at the county treasurer's of
flee paving their taxes each day now.
If anything taxes are being paid more
promptly this year owing to the strin-
gent Interpretation of the new de posi-
tory Jaw. County Treasurer Myrick
is very emphatic in calling attention
to the fact that May 4, is the last day
on which taxes may be paid without
there being penalty attached. He is
required by the new law to have his
books in the state treasurers office
directly after the last day of tax pay
ing and is held personally responsible
for the penalties attached to persons
paying after May 4. He has suggested
that the business men of the city
would do well TO send to his office for
their lists. in order that they may
know the exact amount of their taxes,
so that they can send him checks in
payment These checks. however. he
states must be in no later than May
f. as otherwise a penalty will have to
be paid.
