| YUMA, September l5.-The most de. structive storm ever known in Imperial valley visited that section Wednesday evening, and as result number of cheap buildings were destroyed. while the rain that accompanied the wind did some damage to hay.
 The sheet iron Dillon warehouse at Imperial occupied by goods belonging to | C. w. Fernald, went down. and here was the narrow escape of the storm. Gray Tole had just driven into the valley with his family and had gone to the east side of this building to strike camp under its shelter, when the build. ing began to collapse and the family got under the wagon for protection. The sheet iron of the building was blown over them, but they were not injured
 A man had sought shelter in the Peyeke packing shed and was eating supper when that building began to go down. He was rendered unconscious, though not seriously injured. The bungalow of Perry and Eskine, was occupied by several men when il was swung about fifteen feet to the eastward. Feeling the building going the men extinguished the light of a lamp and gasoline stove, and no great damage was done.
 TIA. Timond had just moved into a tent house. He, his wife, sister-in-law and four children were at home when the building began to go down. tn, roof falling first. Mir Dmond was able to hold that mp until the mem | bers of the household made their escape out in to the rain and he followed their personal effects as well as the building being badly damaged. i A cook wagon belonging to Edgar ] Brothers was overturned, the wheels of the wagon being found pointing up ward.
 A cheap building belonging to Bot Hall was thrown down.
 ' A small house occupied by Virgil 1 Patterson and wife, which stood on iunderpinning eighteen inches above tho ground, was moved two and half feet by the wind None of its occupant. were injured
 A peculiar touch of the storm was the fact that buggy belonging tC | w. A. Edgar was driven three blocks in a straight line over rough ground the tongue resting on the ground. | The hardest blow struck Fl CentrC was the destruction of the derrick which had been erected to drill an ar tesian well. This was overturned and completely destroyed.

BLACKMA|LERS ARE
 WORKING CHINESE
MAN CALLING HIMSELF CAMERON TRIES TO WORK SMOOTH GAME ON CHRISTMAS RESIDING IN THE CAPITAL CITY.

PHOENIX, September l5.--The trail of blackmailer has been discovered. A few days ago man appeared in town, saying that his name was Gamer. on, that he was in the employ of the government in the immigration service, as Chinese interpreter. at New York. His errand here, he said was not of ficial; he was merely travelling through the country to see what he could see. He talked mines and it is stated had one deal under way.
 A couple of days ago he called at the office of Justice Johnstone and said that he had made great discovery; 1; there was q great deal of unlawful gam bling going on in the mysterious under ground passages and chambers of China town. He had been through them all and knew what he was talking about. He was excited over the matter and wanted raid made that night by the combined forces of the city police and the sheriff 's office.
 He failed to arouse official interest;
  There was no raid, but the officials in. stituted an investigation which did not disclose any gambling, but something of the doings of Cameron which the author ities wished they had known before his departure.
 China Dick, the mayor of Chinatown, said that Cameron had visited that quarter and had endeavored to implant confidence in himself. After while he asked Dick if he or any other Chinamen had cousins or friends on the other side of the Mexican border whom they would like to have on this side. If so, he would engage to make safe hole in the exclusion law and the immigra tion regulations. If the Chinamen were desirous of importing relatives they did not tell Cameron so, and the mat. ter was left hanging in lthe air
 One day Cameron rushed to China. town and told Dick that he had had a hurry call to Los Angeles. and would not have time to wait for expense money from New York; he would have to throw himself upon the generosity of his Chinese friends. Dick had no nancy and Cameron made canvass of the entire district without result.
 He went back and told Dick that Chinatown would suffer for its fnan- cial neglect of him; he would have the place pulled that night and as con sequence of such raid as he intended to invite, there would be wholesale de portations. It was at that time that he tried to effect the raid The next day Cameron disappeared.
 If he is not an official Chinese in- terpreter, he might be one for he speaks the language fiuently. It is even sus. pected that he has Chinese blood in his veins.

TAX-DODGING

m HE statement has been made with
out contradiction that during the
Il last twenty years the Southern
Pacific railroad has evaded taxation
in the state of California to the ex-
tent of $145OO,O00 To save on taxes
is to provide peculiarly obnoxious
form of unearned increment for any
corporation, and that a railroad corpor-
alton should be tax dodger is more
than usually deplorable.
Railroad corporations are intimately
connected with the public service. If
some of them were not short sighted
they would see that to discharge will
ingly all the duties Of good citizenship
is for the best interests of any cor
poration, while no advertisement that
a corporation may receive even from
the most adverse critic will have such
an effect on the public mind as the
statement It is evading its duties to
the public, from whom 1t derives it's
privileges and franchises and by
whose business and good will it is sup
ported. The ordinary rules of citizen

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
ABANDONED

IF there is any defense, excuse or
apology for a system which de-
- prives a human being of the last
and tawdriest of his human rights, the
right to sorry shelter in the poor
house, we would like to know what it
may be. An aged man, penniless and
destitute, who had once seen halcyon
days, having been great f1nancier and
a millionaire in his time. was reduced
to such dire poverty that he had not
where to lay his head and had neither
food nor money to buy food. Seventy
seven years old, he had outlived his
welcome in the world. If he had con-
tinued to be rich man he could have
bought service and his dollars would
have purchased toadyism. Without
dollars he met the usual fate of
the pauper who, according to a mode
of unreason which disgraces the twen-
eliminated from thought possibility, is
placed on a lower level than the Grim
inal. To the criminal the state gives
food and shelter and clothing and even
pocket money and little sum with
which he may face the world on his
discharge from prison. To the pauper
the state is supposed to give at least
the bare means of subsistence. People
in this country cannot become recon-
ciled to the New Zealand plan of old
age pensions but they are cheerfully
resigned to old age pauperism. This
broken old man, with shattered health
and empty purse, and with probably
only a few years of feeble life before
him, asked his fellowmen to give him
the food and shelter he could no longer
earn. In Milwaukee, where he made
his home and paid taxes for a while,
he asked the authorities to admit him
to the poorhouse, but as he had re-
moved from Milwaukee to Chicago two
years before, he was told he could not
be allowed to be a pauper in the city
in which he had been a man OF wealth.
He was informed that by his removal
to Chicago he had forfeited his right
to admission to the Milwaukee poor
house. while the fact that in Chicago
he is held to be citizen of Milwaukee
has forfeited his right to be an inmate
of the Chicago poorhouse. To be a
man without a country is a serious
misfortune. But what fate has our
kindly civilization provided for the
pauper without a pOorhouse?
Los Angeles herald., 1908-06-06
CLUBS

TN THE LIFE of every big city clubs
have always occupied and still oc-
Il cupy an anomalous position, and 1t
is high time their exact status with
regard to the community and their
membership were defined. Whatever
may be the rights or wrongs of a case
it is neither pleasant nor edifying to
see men of the status of Joseph Scott,
president of the board of education,
haled into a police court on the cheap
charge of violating the retail liquor
ordinance. If the club status in Cali
fornia is so indefinite and hazy that
police court charges may be preferred
against directorates and directors, then
it is time to have a definition of 1t es-
tabiished which will respect the law and
will be respected by officers of the law.
A club is a halfway house between
home and a public place. If man
gives wine or liquor to guests in his
home it is not necessary for him to have
a license But If he accepts money
from his guests in return for the liquor
which he supplies he must have a
license or he is no better than a She
beener or blind pigger. 1t is sad that
this should be true but reason shows
it is true. When a club sells refresh
ments in its dining room or keeps a
buffet or sideboard from which it dis
penses liquor and charges money for
the same, under what whimsical sophis-
try are we to make believe 1t is not in
the retail liquor business? And since
1t Is plying a retail liquor business
making money by it, and competing
with regular retail liquor dealers who
have to pay licenses, why should it not
have to pay a license? The argument
that a club is mans home is f1aWess
until We remember that q man who
hired bartenders to mix cocktails for
his guests and button boys to collect
fees from them for said cocktails,
would not be regarded by his guests"
as being so vastly superior to any other
liquor seller that he should be exempted
from paying a license.
One way out of the difficulty will be
to abolish the sale of wines and liquors
in clubs. Perhaps the clubs will be in
clined to try the experiment, especially
If they find they have to pay liquor
licenses.

LET US HAVE FAIR PLAY
AND LOGIC, SAYS WRITER

LOS ANGELES, June 5.-fEditor
Herald: Mr.. Thomasson argues that
because a government Is an organiza-
ton, therefore an organization must
be government. AS If one should say:
An adult male iogician Is a man; ergo,
a man must be an adult male logictan,
which is absurd Mr.. T. himself fur
nishing a striking proof to the con-
trary. And your correspondent charges
Juggling with words" Let us look
into this. I believe there is jugglery.
but not on my side. The jugglery
comes in where Mr.. T. cites certain
transitionary palliative expedients like
government" aid to the unemployed,
and tries in this way, inferentially. to
juggle this word government" into
the ultimate program Of Socialism it.
self. notice, however. when he comes
to actual quotation from the Socialist
political program it is national" own

ship, etc. Now Mr.. T. reads the Chica-
go Daily Socialist. 1 do not. And he
should know that the reason Mr.. Johns
was able to tell the convention that
Japan's government ownership of the
railroads, telegraphs and telephones,
and the cigar making industry to boot,
brings no appreciable benefits to the
working people is because 1t is gov
ernment" ownership and not peoples"
ownership, as the Socialists propose.
The same with our own postoff1ce.
The motive of wouldbe discreditors
of Socialism who persist, like Mr.. t.,
in coupling with 1t the word govern
ment' rather than Organization" and
administration of affairs" las dis
tinct from government of men'') is
to bolster UP their pet hobby for
spreading the impression that Social
ism will, on top of full working
government" Gas now understood),
pile all the additional administration
and management of Industrial affairs
and thus "snow us under with "gov-
ernment." Sheer piff1e! There will be
nothing additional" All these mat
ters are run. somehow, today. Social
lists claim they would simply organize
and reduce to order the chaos and IAN

And they would have all the people,
not a small political clique, available
for the purpose.
