ter will shortly come up in the senate
for action, and there is a bill before
the ways and means committee OF tne
house which can be used as the OASIS
for further legislation there
"The Republican party is in control

some progressive, constructive leglsla-

result. in the opinion of very large
proportion of the Republican voters,
has not been fully accomplished by the
Payne bill. and the discussion as to
whether the bill is three-quarters right
and one-quarter wrong, or one-quarter
right and three-quarters wrong, is not
going to be very satisfactory, espe-
cially as with no facts or figures In
existence to prove the claims the dis
cussion can only end in more discus
sion.
1T is equally aside from the point
to discuss whether or not the Payne
bill is the best that can be expected
under the system of log-rolling and
trading heretofore practiced in tariff
legislation. Certainly no bill passed
by either party for a generation in
dicates that better can be expected.
The Investigations of our association
clearly show that the country wants
tariff questions carefully and scientih-
cally investigated by an independent
and permanent board or commission,
and the results of their work presented
to congress as the basis for tariff leg
islation.
"If the present congress which
passed the Payne bill will meet the
issue fairly and enact legislation cre-
ating the necessary machinery to in
vestigate and point out such incon-
sistencies and inequalities as exist in
the Payne BILL and If this is done, as
it readily can be, in a manner to COM
mand the confidence of the voters that
they will he corrected when found, the
discord and dissension in the Republi-
can party will be allayed.
IF this is not done the Republican
members of congress will be left the
difficult task of convincing their con-
stituents that they have faithfully and
consistently carried out the platform
on which they were elected. And our
efforts will have to be directed to sup
porting President Taft in his earnest
effort to create an effective tariff
board under legislative provisions en-
tirely inadequate in their scope and
temporary in their nature"

Civic pride has expressed itself IN
many ways during recent years, but
seldom has it been able to boast with

these blessings to the fact that Balti-

the time the foodstuff leaves the pro-

whether the retailer is getting more
than his legitimate share of the profits;
it is a question, indeed, whether the

the nature of food was low.
Baltimore and New Orleans seem to
reveal the secret when they find reason
to boast of easy and cheap transpor-

GILLETT'S BLUFF

N OVERNOR Gillett has writ
ten to the attorney general of
N the state to take steps to
prevent the fight between James
J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson, the
negro, in san Francisco, on the
Fourth of July. He says that he first
asked the district attorney of the city
to act, and upon being told by that
functionary that he would not do So
he thereupon ordered the states lawyer
to &c ahead. In case an injunction is
refused, Mr.. Webb is instructed to
proceed under section 412 of the penal
felony
InasmIch as the governor has made
the statement that he believes the pro-
posed fight is a frame-up QnnOcent
Calfornians are informed that that
term means a cut and dried affair.", he
cannot take umbrage if we express the
conviction that the executives action
now is in the nature of frame-up
in which every step has been studied
by his eXcellency. Our reasons for so
believing We herewith state:
Governor Gillett is on record as say
ing that there is no law under which
the fight can be stopped and he is
probably right for no man can say
that what is popularity termed the fight
will be more than a boxing match, un-
der which term it is announced and ad
vertised. The law permits boxing
matches of any number of rounds.
Until it is reasonably certain that the
law has been violated there can be no
procedure under that law. No in
junction can rightfully issue against
an affair on the mere suspicion of the
governor and his attorney general.
In saying this we are only repeating
what the governor has already said in
substance. He does not pretend to have
seen any new light or found any new
statute. If the governor now thinks he
is right, the district attorney of San
Francisco must be guilty of serious
malfeasance in refusing to act. Will
the governor make it uncomfortable for
that official? Let us watch develop
ments and see.
along the line that he said he could not
follow only fortnight ago. His SINGER
ity may therefore be doubted. We
should hesitate to take this attitude
if it were not for his well known rec
ord. 1t is fair to judge any man by
what he has done or omitted. Cover
nor Gillett has been invariably and al
ways one of the most subservient tools
of the Southern Pacific railroad. Not
once in his public career has he done
an act that corporation opposed The
Southern Pacific wants the business
from this prize fight, as We are frank
to say we believe it viii be. The traf-
fic will be enormous in volume and
rich in contribution to the passenger
department of the road. If Governor
Gillett :hould cut off that income it
would e equivalent to a break with
his master, and there IS no reason to
think that such break has occurred
or is imminent.
We cannot judge mems hearts Pos
sibly his excellency has undergone con-
version But until we see some act of
his that looks like fruit meet for
repentance" we shall have to consider
him the same unregenerate sinner. In
this particular case we believe he was
sound in his law when he said he
couldn't stop the. fight, that he knows
it now and that he doesn't want to stop
it, but =. playing to the political gal
leries.

right as any other individual to ex
