The San Francisco call., 1910-11-07

Half a dozen civic workers who nave
been busy in the interior of the state
spreading the sentiment in favor OF the
India basin bond issue reported the re-
suits of their work to the Mission pro-
motion association at a meeting yester-
dav afternoon. Each declared that the
people and the press were in favor or
the bond issue and that cit Will be car
ried.
Chambers of commerce throughout
the state have nidorsed the project, ana
advices from the south are to the effect
that that section will vote for the bond
issue almost solid According 20 john
t. FLYNN, harbor engineer of San Diego,
Imperial and San Diego counties Will
give 10000 votes in favor of the issue
out of a total of 10000 votes cast All
of the reports were greeted with cheers.
Los ANGELES IN LINE
George L. Center who was made tenn
porary chairman, stated that Los An
geles had given him royal welcome
and that the bonds would be given
big majority there. Patrick Broderlck
told of obtaining the Endorsement OIL

representatives were before the Stock

All of these places. he said. were sup
porting the India basin act through the
chambers of commerce. mayors ana
newspapers From his canvass he be-
ljeves that the entire northern part of
the state will return big majority.
He stated that editors OF Napa and Vail
lejo papers had been offered rates for
reading matter adverse to the issue,
but the offer had been declined.
OPPONENTS USE MONEY
Rernard Burns and A. c. Schulz re-
ported that several of the Improvement
clubs which at first had been won over
by the opposition had at last entered
the ranks of the proponents and were
now working hard for the success of
the bonds.
That the many workers of the Ship
Owners association and other opponents
of the bonds are being paid for their
efforts was revealed by Father Crowley,
who told of meeting last Thursday in
the office of James H. Barry at which
John f. Pope, an engineer, admitted
that the Ship Owners association was
spending q large amount of money and
was paying the men who are out work
ing to defeat the bonds.
During the last day of the fight for
the success of the INDIA basin bond Is
sue the Improvement clubs and civic
organizations of San Francisco will
not relent in their campaign. The
Mission promotion association will hold
a big meeting at it's hall in Valencia

covered by workers in the interests of
the India basin act.
MEASUREMENTS CIRCULATED
The opponents of the act, driven to
desperate resources, have opened a
fire of literature and untruths. Tons
of literature have been sent out under
the name of the Ship Owners associa-
ti6n for distribution in the smaller
cities. San Diego was flooded with
this literature Saturday. Los Angeles
almost simultaneously was covered
with placards making the false an
nouncement that the passage OF the
India basin act would thrust a burden
of extra taxation upon the farmers,
small merchants and wage earners.
The proponents of the act are utilizing
every means OF counteracting the ef-
feet of these untruths.
In San Francisco, in addition to the
old custom of distributing placards and
pamphlets. the ship owners yesterday
hired numerous wagons and sent them
about the city bearing signs adver-
tising against the bonds and asserting
that the improvement clubs of the city
had declared against the act. These
statements were proved false at the
meeting yesterday. at which it was
shown that almost every improvement
club in the city had indorsed the India
basin act bond issue.

RaIstOn's Action Regarding
Republican Candidate
Subtreasurer May Lose His Own
Head If Pernicious Political
Activity Is Shown

slaughts have not even been reported
here, and If they had been the presi-
dent would still have desired the cleo
ton Of the republican candidate.
Johnson. whether or not he has
praised the Taft administration, is
considered a republican. As such the
president feels that he should be sup
ported by all who have the welfare Of
the party at heart
1t can be stated autioritatively that
President Taft today recognizes no
breach in the republican party There
Is but one republican party In mat
ters OF patronage all viii be recog-
nized alike.
This is no time for party dissen-
sion, according 10 President Taft's
view. It is the time Tor all republi-
cans to forget differences and stand
together for republican success. Re
publicans III all states had their
chance 10 express themselves at the
primaries. The men nominated by
the republicans at the primaries are
regarded by the president as the
choice Of their party Whatever diff
ferences there were had their airing
then The majority OF republicans
have spoken and the majority rules.
Is a matter Of fact. not once during
the campaign. directly or indirectly,
has Johnson criticised President Taft
or the national administration. Some
other reason must be sought as the real
cause Of ". c. Ralston's crouch and
detection.

On March 10. 1907. more than a
month after this belated payment had
been made to tJOhnson for his serv-
ices. the Schmitz-Ruef supervisors
made their first confessions Of the ac-
ceptance of bribes. Then for the nrst

Patrick Calhoun were, not returned un-

Such are the facts concerning the

and that is the undeniable connection
existing in this campaign between

The check which Herring presented

REV. CROWLEY'S VIEWS
INDIA BASIN IS NEEDED

lumber yard sites, and that these
sites are necessary for the develop
ment of San Francisco. They should
not forget that in the near vicinity
Of the India basin harbor site there
is large territory better adapted
for factory sites and lumber yards
than the lands Immediately border
ing on the Islais channel.
Anent the contention of the op-
ponents of the India basin act I
would say that until the state
sought to acquire the So blocks OF
submerged land for an inland har-
Dor, nobody spoke of improving
them. II the opponents of this act
be in good faith. I beg to suggest
that the land values there will not
Justify the promised improvements.
There are about so feet OF mud and
water over the solid ground
throughout the So blocks. If filed
in ii would be very unstable land
on which to locate heavy buildings
for factory purposes, especially in
an earthquake zone Besides. such
action would be reversing the prac-
tice and policy of all modern mari
time cities. London. Liverpool and
Antwerp are digging inland harhors
out of solid land. Why should we
fill up good water to make bad land?
Especially when the commerce of
San Francisco. on the completion OF
the Panama canal will demand
every bit of space along our water
front
The lumber clique promises a
large expenditure of money and a
great deal of employment in the
Improvement of these lands. The
expenditure of ten millions Of dol
lars for the Improvement of our
harbor front is more than this little
cabal could muster UP to pay out
in wages for the next so years.
If we need the Panama-Pacific
exposition, we need the Islais creek
inland harbor BY voting for this
and the other harbor bond issues.
we shall demonstrate to the country
at large that we know what we
want and are united on every issue
which involves the betterment and
prosperity of our state
This r'pull together" spirit will
convince the senators and congress
men at Washington that We are a
unit on every important proposition
and worthy of their support in our
efforts to bring the exposition to
our state in 1915. Every vote cast
for the India basin act tomorrow is
a vote in the direction of develop
ment and progress.
d. o. CROWLEY.
Nov. 6, 1910.
The San Francisco call., 1910-11-07

Editor Call: The voters of Cali
fornia are vitally interested in the
three harbor bond propositions to be
voted on tomorrow. These three
bond issues include the San Fran
cisco harbor Improvement act the
India basin act and the San Diego
seawall act. If these issues receive
a majority of the votes throughout
the state it means an expenditure OF
$11.500.000 in this state.
Although this great amount of
money will be distributed largely
among the workingmen of the state.
the people of California are not
called upon to contribute single
dollar in direct taxation 10 pay
either the interest or the principal
on these bonds.
The revenues of the California
harbors are steadily increasing and
therefore able to meet the interest
any pay the principal of these bonds
before their expiration. The entire
principal and interest, under the
terms of the acts, will be paid out
of the regular state harbor revenues.
Therefore, it is to the interest of
the entire state. and especially to
the laboring classes. to favor the
passage of these bonds.
Important among these issues is
the acquisition by the state of the
lands adjacent to the India basin
and the Islais creek channel. The
development of an inland harbor
there will add from five to seven
miles of wharfage room to the pres
ent facilities of the port of San
Francisco.
According to the best authority
there are times even now when the
wharf room of our city is made
quate to accommodate the commerce
of our harbor. That being so at the
present time, how much more need
will there be for such facilities after
the completion of the Panama canal?
On this account we need the India
basin ard the Islais creek lands for
an inland harbor and the state
should not lose this opportunity of
acquiring it.
All the natural basins of the city
have been filed up at great cost to
the harbor. except the India basin
and the lands adjoining ii. Sad and
costly experience ought to teach US
better than to fill up the only site
for an inland harbor which remains
on our water front.
1t is better to have in that locality
good. clean and deep water for ship
ping purposes than poor and shaky
land.
1t is claimed by selfish few that
these lands should be filled In for

ALMOST A CERTAINTY

election as Justice of the. peace. Justice
Floods popularity and his reputation
as a court official We're well illustrated
at the primary election. when he re-
ceived the nomina tion of both the re-
publican and democratic parties, the
good government league and the inde-
pendence league. Later he was given
the unqualified endorsement of the bar
association of San Francisco.
Floods record as Justice of the
peace is an enviable one. His court
has been conducted on strict business
principles and the cases before 1t have
been handled with a fairness and dis
patch that has won him the unanimous
support of litigants and attorneys
alike. He is Immensely popular per-
sonally in San Francisco and is prom
inent member of number of fraternal
organizations.
Flood is one of the men whose elec-
ton is practically a foregone conclu-

who have taken close interest in his
