Summer girls always begin 20 talk
about new Fall suits In August. This Is

orders for new Fall suits. Whenever

BUSINESSMEN TO
VIEW INDIA BASIN
Excursion Will Be Made to Is
lais Creek to Investigate
the Project

The contest over the proposed i'm
provcment of India basin, which formed
one OF the principal issues at the No
vember election. will be renewed this
afternoon. when party Of businessmen
VIII inspect the xpot. Although the
excursion to the basin Is intended as e
movement preliminary to d general
agreement among the contending fac
tions. there Is a general impression that
1t may serve merely to draw a sharper
line of cleavage. Nevertheless, all par
ties interested IN the project will ex-
change views this afternoon In an ef-
fort to remove such preirdtces as may
exist.
The Merchants association will act
as host and has chartered a launch to
take It's guests down the bay TO visit
the lslais creek region. The trustees
OF the chamber of commerce. the mer-
chants exchange and the Mission asso-
citation Will be present. making 8 party
OF 80 In all. The launch viii leave
Howard street wharf at 2:3o p. M.
The Indian basin bill was defeated a.,
the recent election largely through the
argument that the bonds should run
20 instead OF 20 years The laws have
since been so amended that 75 year
bonds may be issued. The opposition
now. however. is based on the conten-
ton that ~ blocks would provide an
ample basin, whereas the measure called
for o.
FACTIONS WILL. MEET
The excursion today is for the purpose
or bringing the factions to an agree
nent on the number Of blocks required.
AS an indication of the sentiment in
the merchants association, that organ
lzatlon has had little maps prepared
Tor distribution, in which the basin of
A blocks is advocated
Inc ldea OF creating the inland basin
originated with the manufacturers of
the Potrero and the residents of the
Mission. They are determined that the
basin shall contain the full SO blocks,
eliminating one block which would in
terTere with Kentucky street. The Mis-
SION residents are inclined to believe
the same interests which worked
against the bill before are now trying
to cut out the 20 blocks. These blocks
would remain in private ownership
and 1t is claimed that they would give
practically private harbor to the 1um-
bering and warehouse interests.
Unless some agreement can be
reached today it is possible that two
distinct bills, bearing on the subject
will be introduced in the next legisla-
ture and the matter will be fought out
in Sacramento
The Mission associa tionS will be well
represented today. Among those who
Will make the trip are Matt. l. Sullivan.
James Rolph Jr., Eustace Cullinan, c. L.
McEnerney and George Center.
When the matter is taken before the
Legislature some important changes
may be made in the bill. The former
measure provided for a bond issue of
s1.000,000 to purchase the land. The
new measure may be made to include
another $1,000,000 for dredging, or
provision that q definite part of the
$40, 600, 900 proposed for harbor i'm
provements be used to develop the ba-
sin.
The invitation of the Merchants as
sociation to go on an excursion to the
Islais creek at 2:30 this afternoon was
accepted by rhe Mission promotion as
sociation last night.

FROM WASHINGTON
OUR REGULAR CORRESPOND
ENT TALKS POLITICS.

Mr.. Bryan in his speech of ac-
ceptance, dealt some terrific blows
on some very vulnerable spots.
Mr.. Bryan charges Secretary
Taft with attempting to amend the
Republican Platform, which is an
admission that the trusts and not
the people wrote it. 1t is we'll
known that motion. was made in
the Republican National Conven-
ton to provide for the physical
valuation of railroads as a guide
by which the amount of stocks and
bonds should be issued by the
roads. II is well known that the
Republican National Convention
voted down this proposition.
A great hardship on the people
of this country results from the
fact that when a railroad is organ
lied and its stock is sold, the
money for that stock goes into the
pockets of the organizers and pro-
moters as pure graft and then the
crowd of grafters that organizes it,
Issues bonds for building the road
So that all of the proceeds of the
stock is practically stolen and the
bonds go to the building of the
road.
BY this wholesale stealing and
grating, which has characterized
all the roads Of the country, the
people are compelled TO pay rates
for transportation, high enough TO
pay the interest on the bonds issued
and dividends on the stock, which
lis practically all water. If the
railroads of this county had been
built on honest principals, and if
they were now being built on hon
est principals, the public could Sc
cure transportation at one-half of
what they are now paying.
Mr.. Taft has now seen the evil
of this and has recently held a joint
debate with his own platform.
This only shows how completely
the Republican Party has surren-
dered to corporations and trusts.
Mr.. Bryan not only stands to
correct this mighty evil but his
party Is united at his back. Where
as the Republican Party is bitterly
opposed to it as shown by their
vote in the Chicago Convention
which voted down the physical
valuation proposition by $50 votes
against liz, showing that more
than eight to one of the leaders of
the Republican Party are opposed
to it.
