A WAY TO REDUCE
LOCAL TAXATION

Editor Ledger:-
Ny attention has been called to a
we'll written editorial in your issue
of August 18th entitled "The State
Tax Rate. " You are looking for a
change in the laws which would
speedily bring about a reduction in
your county tax rate. Such a measure
ia now before you to be voted upon at
the coming election. | refer to
the proposed Senate constitutional
Amendment. No. !, placed before the
people of California by an almost un-
animous vote Of the legislature in
1907. This amendment, if adopted,
will eliminate entirely the state rate
from the counties. | say therefore, if
you are looking for some measure
which will reduce your county rate,
and a good heavy reduction too, urge
upon your people to vote for the pro-
posed amendment.
It's provisions, in brief, are to
separate and divorce the state re-
venues from those of the counties,
and give the counties "home rule" in
all matters of taxation. The measure
proposes that the state shall tax for
the support of the state government
the socalled public service corpora
tions," such as railroads, including
street railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone lines, express companies, power
light and heat companies, insurance
companies. banks Excepting real
estate), ETC., and leave all other pro-
perty-real, personal, and mixed to
be assessed and taxed by the counties
for their support. Under such law
you can assess your property at it's
"actual cash value" and thus have an
extremely low tax rate; and the
beauty of 1t is that every dollar you
raise will be spent in your county,
the state asking none of it. Further,
much complaint is made that the cor
porations are running the politics
of the state. Adopt the amendment
and there will be no excuse for the
corporations to interfere with the
political situation, particularly so far
as taxation is concerned.
Respectfully,

Secretary, State Board of Equaliza-
tion.

The AsSemblyman
Nomination

At the eleventh assembly district
convention held in Oakland on Fri
day of last week, no nomination was
made, owing to the delegates from
Amador and Calaveras counties not
clearly understanding the position of
Edward Moore of Copperopolis, who
was the candidate seeking the
nomination.
On Sunday previous to the conven-
tion Moore stated to the delegates
from this district that he was a candi-
date; he further stated that be had
received the endorsement of the Anna
dor delegation. This statement was
satisfactory to the delegates here, as
1t Is considered that this county
should furnish the nominee.
When the delegates met in Oak
land, Mr. Moore was named for the
office. Then it was found that the
Amador delegation had not end orsed
him for the office, but that it was
emphatically against him and would
not have anything to do with his
candidacy. In order to straighten
out the matter a telegram was set to
Moore, telling him to come TO Oak
land in order to explain tie state
ments made by him to the delegates
in this town.
Mr. Moore was unable to 60 to Oak
land, so that the present time it is
not known what explanation he can
make. At a later meeting of the
delegates it was decided that under
the circumstances the best thing to
do was to pass the matter up to the
county conventions of both Calaveras
and Amador counties and let the
delegates decide who should be the
nominee. AS both counties hold their
conventions on the 18th, it will no
the nominee. At this time, however,
the race is open to any one who is
ready to get out and make the fight.
Angels Record.
(rhe matter has been differently re-
ported in this county. 1t is said that
split occurred in the CalaveIas
delegation, owing to rival factions,
and that in consequence of the Gala
veras delegates not being united, the
matter was postponed until the 18th,
when the district delegates are to
meet in convention at Mokelumne
Hill. Why the 10Th was selected we
are not in a position to say, as the
republican convention OF CalaveIas
and Amador counties are to be held
that day. The Calaveras delegates
we're in sufficient strength to nominate
any man they desired at the conven-
tion in Oakland, provided they were
united. However, if Calaveras can
not decide upon suitable candidate,
Amador couL ~ will no doubt be able
to furnish one. Ed. Ledger

Institution.
Attorney csneraf CARRIER was cheered
when he arose 10 speak. He brought
out laugh right at the start by min
imizing his talking chances In such an
assembly as he was facing.
Tor" said the Attorney General, II
have been told often that a lawyer
talks enough. but life Insurance agent
goes him one better. So gentlemen.
feel rather out OF place here for this
reason and for the further reason that
we are In the presence Of such dis
tinKuished guest as we have with us
from the New England midst"
Mr.. CARRIER lauded the life insurance
business for the aitruistic spirit that
II epgenders IN the people at large
He was in favor Of the Institution Of
life insurance because II gave q man
that sense OF security and protection
which he needs In every line. And fur
Their. II IL an evidence Of civilization
and progress TO provide for those de-
pendent upon him In the time beyond
his own death.
The life insurance president Mr.. Gar
Der said had made the point that the
people Of Alabama should be glad to
have a company enter the State. should
consider 1t favor. The Attorney Gen.
erai replied that he would not wholly
agree with the distinguished visitor
because the coming of a life insurance
company TO Alabama meant business
for that company. He believed that II
should be given the right to come in
but they should be made to bear a pro-
portionate part OF the States burden
Of taxation.
A few minutes were devoted by Mr..
CARRIER to pointing out what he believ-
ed the broad nature OF the revenue
basis of the present administration.
The burden OF taxation he believed had
been distributed equitably by the iegis-
lation that has just gone into Alabamas
history. Or, IL not equitably, the test
OF the courts would in time right what
wrongs may have accompanied the high
aim OF the administration TO bring the
ideals OF Aiabamians to an equal with
those Of the best States in the Union.
The guests adjourned few minutes
after o'clock to attend the imnquet
OF the Commercial Club. The Associa-
ton had been at the board since Z
o'clock. A most elaborate course of
dinner had been prepared and the event
will be cherished long time in the

FOR MIR. HoLcOMBE
DINNER GIVEN by CTTY's LIFE IN
sURANCE MEN.


In honor Of the visit OF John NJ Hol
combe. President of the Phoenix Mu
tual Life Insurance Company. and 9th.
err guests, the Life Underwriters Asso
citation of Montgomery made merry last
evening with a banquet at YunR's. II
was a delightful coming together OF the
| life insurance agents Of this city.
| AS is the rule among the members OF
the life insurance fraternity. there was
wholesome good fellowship running
through the whole feast. After hear.
! ing the exchange of views of agents
| last night one could not fail to see that
of all classes Of commercial life the
life insurance man Is perhaps the
quickest to acknowledge high attain
ment In his profession.
1t was an unconcerned agent. indeed
who did not last night feel that he was
in the presence Of one Of the ablest
exponents OF life insurance in the coun-
try. Mr.. Holcombe had not been in the
business for thirty-two years without
results. Rising from the station OF
ONCE boy to president of the Phoenix
Mutual in this period is liable to make
any agent even the most phlegmatic
life insurance agent, look up and take
notice.
The banquet opened with a tribute
to Mr. HoIcombe from E. G. Branch,
president OF the local association. Mr. Z.
Holcombe replied in q happy and edi-
flying short address. On behalf of the
state, Attorney General Alex M. Gar
Der made a response which scored heav-
lily with his hearers. ]. B. Ellis made
an encouraging talk aimed at the ele-
walton of the profession of life insur-
ance.
The agents who made up Mr.. Hol-
combe's audience bent an attentive ear
to hts remarks. They had read enjoy
ably from his pen in insurance Journals
and they had heard him quoted in his
lectures to students of the profession.
This time they were to meet him face
to face and get an acknowledgment OF
what the executive head Of large com
pany, situated in one of the New Eng
land States. really thinks of the field
force.
The burden Of Mr.. Holcombe's talk
was to extol the Indispensable work
that an agent performs to a company
ana to its policyhclders. He illustrated
how necessary the agent is to the build
