Letters From The People

Editor Call: Why do you persist in
blaming that tool of the corporations,
Ballinger, for opposing the Hetch
Hetchy permit? Why not fix the re-
sponsiblity for that fellows dirty

The following decisions of the United
States supreme court make it clear
that the decisions of the secretaries of
the several executive departments
are in contemplation of law the de-
cisions of the president:
The president speaks and acts
through the heads of the several
departments in relation to subjects
which appertain to their respect

To aid him in the performance

One word from President Taft would
end the trouble. The president can
not be ignorant of San Francisco's
situation. and he alone is responsible
for Ballingers position in the matter.

VACCINATION LAW VALID

Editor Call: On reading in this
mornings issue of your paper some
comment on the recent decision of
Judge Smith of Santa Cruz holding the
state vaccination law to be unconstitu-
tional beg to call to your attention
the fact that our supreme court in 1896
held just the opposite of Judge Smith
in the case of Abeel VS.. Clark tS4 Cal,
226), and that, singularly enough, was
likewise a Santa Cruz case, the judge,
however, ! in that case being of the
same mind as that of the supreme
court.
AS to the operation of the statute
being limited to the public schools, and
for that reason being unconstitutional
the supreme court says:
The legislature shall not pass
local or special laws in certain
enumerated cases. among which the
act in question does not come, nor
in other cases where a general law
can apply (Const., art. 4, sec. 25).
The act here is not obnoxious to
this provision. 1t embraces and is
designed to act uniformly upon all
who do or may attend the public
schools of the state; such schools
are. by article ., section s, of the
constitution defined as follows:
The public school system shall
include primary and grammar
schools, and technical schools, as
may be established by the Iegisla-
ture, or by municipal or district
authority. The class that does or
may attend such schools is certain
ly large and general one. and we
cannot conceive how II could be
more general in it's nature An
act to be general in its scope need
not include all classes of indi-
viduals I'm the state; it answers the
constitutional requirement If it re-
lates to and operates uniformly
upon the whole of any single class,
as we are satisfied the act before us
does.
The supreme court of the United
States in Jacobson VS.. Massachusetts
1e7 u. S., IL, upheld the compulsory
vaccination law of Massachusetts,, the
court citing with approval Abeel VS..
Clark, page 33 of opinions.
Judge Smith could not have been
aware of these decisions, that of our
own supreme court being binding upon
him, and in view of that decision his
own is wholly without value by way
of authorizing any one to violate the
vaccination law of the state

no off-color issues, gamblers and ticket
scalpers allowed to trail in the wake of
the aggre CATION, nor is this despiseable
class permitted to get near the show or
its exhibition grounds. A trio of spe-
cial detectives constantly travel with
the show to assist the local officers and
authorities in preserving order and also
to assist in looking after the wants of
their patrons.
