The present movement is in ac-

we are tired of being Berkeley and
desire to be Oakland; whether we
have grown weary Of the managing
our own affairs and desire to COM

AMOUNT OF TAXINVOLVED
1t is of the highest Importance
that the people be fully advised
of the character of the union which
is proposed: that il is not the form
of a city and county government;
that ii does not. in any manner re-
lieve the tax payer of the burden of
the county tax. that II substitutes
the Oakland city tax for the Berke-
ley city tax, which exceeded the
Berkeley tax rate by 20 cents, and
viii probably exceed il by much
more in the future; that the city
OF Berkeley will thereby lose its
name and existence and identity as
4 city. its charter and ordinances
viii be thereby repealed, that they
thereupon become subject to the
laws and ordinances of the city of
Oakland that the control of its
schools and all branches of its
municipal government are surren-
dered. and Berkeley becomes, in
fact, a part Of one Of the wards of
the city of Oakland, which. under
Its present charter. would give it a
voice in the selection of one of the
cOuncllmen OF that city.
Berkeley occupies unique posi-.
tion among the cities and towns Of
the state. 1t has acquired some
distinction as being the education
81 capital of the west, and as such
IN is a city in which every citizen
OF the state, and especially every
citizen Of Berkeley. has a most vital
interest 1t is also place where
the intermediate and elementary
schools of the state have reached
their highest efficiency, a result ac-
cOmpiShed by wise management
and liberal support. Nothing con
tributes more TO the growth and
residential attractiveness of a city
than efficiency in its schools. Why
should these advantages be sur
rendered TO the management of
others less interested for the
doubtful benefits OF commercial

OBJECTION TO SURRENDER

II is said that the proposed an
neXstion is a necessary step toward
the formation of a city and county.
This is a mistake. 1t is not only
not necessary step but is not a
step at all, unless it be a false or
backward step, which would re-
tard rather than hasten such re-
suits.
If the county tax could be elimi-
mated by some form of consolida-
tion with Oakland or San Francis
co. or both. and we retain control
of our institutions, such condition
might be desirable. But such city
and county government can only
be formed after further legislation
or constitutional changes. 1t can
not be formed under our present
statutes. Such consolidation is not
offered, but is promised and upon
conditions it is impossible to full
fill
In the formation of q city and
county government based upon the
borough system, or some plan of
local autonomy, Berkeley, if il re-
tains its present state of independ-
enCe, would be able 10 specify the
terms upon which ii would enter
such greater organization What
is now proposed is unconditional

1t is a fact, as several speakers affirmed

New York City with its population of

that next 10 London they have the largest
city OF the world, and that excepting Lon
DON they have city larger than any
other two cities in the world.
Some of us like to hear the eagle scream
but now and then the scream makes the
judicious greve. First let us get at the
facts. The population Of Paris within the
Qualifications. with an area of about thirty
one square miles was, by the last census
that of 1906, 2,763 S93; and that of the De-
partment Of the Seine. which includes the
city Of Paris and the suburbs, with an area
of about l4 square miles, was by the same
census, 3,S4S,61S This is an increase OF
17S,S54 in five years, the official census OF
Paris being taken every five years, The
Department of the Seine. outside the walls
of Paris, is as much a part of Paris as
Brooklyn and the Bronx are part of New
York
If we should further extend the limits o.
the city so as to make It cover say 80
square miles which is the area Of greater
New York, the population of Paris would
be about 100000. and if it were again ex
