Why Harper Resigned

Under the heading Harper Retires"
the Los Angeles Express yesterday
told in the following paragraphs why
A. c. Harper resigned:
"At 5:25 p. m. yesterday (Thursday)
Mr.. Harper appeared at the private
office OF Edwin Il. Earl, Central build
ing, Sixth and Main streets, and re-
quested an interview. The interview
was granted. Every word of the in
terview was taken in shorthand and
Is a matter of record. Mayor Harper
proposed that he would withdraw his
name from the ticket as candidate
for reelection March 26. 1t being un-
derstood that certain information in
the possession of Mr. Earl, regarding
Mr.. Harper's official acts, not his pri-
vate character, would not be pub
lished. No one was present at this
interview except Mayor Harper. Mr..
Earl and a stenographer.
1.-THE Express is profoundly sorry
for Mr.. Harper and regrets exceeding
ly that he should have allowed the
Record, which works for graft and
friend of the workingman and the peo-
pie, to have extorted from him false
and ridiculous statement as to the
cause of his withdrawal from the
campaign. Neither the Record nor
any other newspaper or individual
possesses the information now in the
hands of Mr.. Earl. This information,
let it be distinctly understood, has ref
erence to Mr.. Harper's administration
and not to Mr.. Harper's private affairs.
FINALLY, the Express will simply
say, as 1t has said before, that having
in its possession the information it
has it could not in Justice to the city
of Los Angeles permit Mr.. Harper to
continue to be candidate for re-
election. Mr.. Harper was the only
issue before the people. Mr.. Harper
has withdrawn his name from the
ticket. The Express has accomplished
its purpose in the cause of right and
decency. The recall movement has
succeeded and is today a more effec-
tive weapon in the hands of the people
for law and order than ever before.
Mayor Harper's interview with Mr..
Earl in his private office yesterday
was not accompanied by one word of
anger or excitement on either side.
The conference was calm, deliberate
and devoid of any sensational features
whatever"

Adopt Appropriations

The senate today passed the genera
appropriations bill providing money
! for all the state institutions and de-
| partments of government.
1t was amended by adding about
| $40, 900, most of which is to go to the
state farm at Davis, and this change
probably will be indorsed by the as
sembly and the bill will go at once to
the governor.
The senate also passed the Wright
railroad rate bill, which gives the rail-
road commission power to fix max
imum rates.
Senator Caminetti offered many
amendments to the measure and sew
eral of these were adopted.
The principal fight both in commit
tees and on the floor. was over the
question of whether absolute or max
imum rates should be established by
the commission.
A constitutional amendment by SEN
ator Caminetti, giving counties of $4,000
population or more the right of ''home
rule" was defeated by a large ma
jority.
Both Republicans and Democrats will
caucus late this afternoon on the di-
rect primary bill. which passed the sem
ate two weeks ago and was amended
by the assembly this week.
The change made by the lower house
is the cause of the trouble. This pro-
vides for the election of United States
senators by advisory vote by legis-
lative districts instead of by advisory
vote of the state at large as the original
measure. The contention of the Demo-
Gratis and some of the Republicans in
both branches is that the amendment
makes the election of senators prac-
tically the same as under the existing
system.
They hold that If the legislature as
whole was bound to elect the man
nominated by direct vote of the people
of the state as a whole the real object
sought by the reformers would be
reached.
Leroy A. Wright, author of the meas
ure and Republican floor leader in the
senate. gave notice today that the eau
Gus would be held, and ]. B. Sanford,
leader of the Democrats, Immediately
notified his following to get together.
Up to 1 o'clock, it is stated on good
authority, six Republicans who favor
the original bill had declared that they
would not enter the caucus

EDITORS OF OUTLOOK DO
NOT CONFIRM STATEMENT

NEW YORK, March denomination
of the report that DR.. Lyman Abbott
had sent letter to Washington stat
ing that the editors of the Outlook had
decided to support the insurgents in
the fight on the Cannon organization
in the house, could not be obtained at
the office of the publication today.
No one was in authority in the alb
sence of DR.. Abbott to speak regard
ing the report, but it was stated the
position of the Outlook defined in its
edition of few days ago, was that
the committees should be chosen by a
committee elected by the majority and
minority in caucus.

The Income Tax.

No set event of the present week
may be anticipated with keener
news relish than the vote which
may be taken in the Senate Friday
on the income tax amendments to
the Tariff bill. Second only to the
adoption of the rejection of this inn
portant tax feature of the pending
legislation will be the interest IN the
alignment of Senators with the Re
publican "Regulars," on the one
hand, opposed by the Democrats and
a doubtful number of "Insurgent'
Republicans. Senators Bailey and
Cummins, representing, respectively,
the Democrats and such Republicans
as are determined upon an income
tax amendment will probably be de-
termined upon an income tax, APP
pear confident that their compro-
mise amendment will be adopted
but before hour of voting is reached
strong pressure will be brought to
bear in opposition, upon such Re
publicans as i'm this matter are allied
with the Democrats. The prelimin-
airy skirmishes earlier in the week
will whet the news appetite for the
feast of Friday. The income tax
amendment will probably be defeat
ed by very small majority, but at
that there is a chance that it may
pass. There is enough doubt in the
situation to cause considerable in
terest in the outcome.
