'If there is law In California
against prizefghting, as Governor
Gillette says there is. then It is not
only his right, but his duty to enforce
the law, even II he has to go over
the heads of the local officials to do
1t. He would be derelict were he to
fail TO use his power to maintain the
peace and dignity of the state and
the laws OF the commonwealth Local
nullihcation OF law is not local self
government, as some seem to think.

do so he will be upheld by the law.

Local Comment

The announcement of a reduced
schedule of rates on power by the M.
L. p q Ry Co. calls to mind that the
agitation Of recent months is steadily
accom- lishirg results even if it does
not bring about absolute justice. With
in the past year we have seen the gas
making apparatus increased TO several
times its former capacity and gas
mains are being extended about the
city as never before. The gas, too, Is of
a better quality and thereby does more
cooking per thousand cubic feet thru
the meter
The electrical machinery has been
practically replaced with a new outfit.
Heretofore the company maintained
prohibftive prices on power and ac-
tually refused 20 serve large consum-
ers because their machinery was not
adaptable 10 power work on the light
ing circuit The result was a maximum
price as high as ten cents per X. w.
and no business TO exceed $4,000 to
$1,000 per annun from their entire
power receipts when it could easily
have been $4,000. Now their new cleo
trical equipment enables them to sell
power as dayioad or their lighting
circuit and the company cuts its price
so as 70 get business Having a friend
in an influential place they viii say that
they make a new price on power large
" at the request Of Mayor lngledue
but the facts are that as a result OF
sticks cut for its back the company has
for the first time equipped itself to sell
commercial power in large quantities
and it makes a rate which it hopes viii
get the business. However, Il the M.
L. P. & Ry Co. is under heavy obliga-
tons to the mayor it Is hoped that the
executive head of the city viii demand
reduced rates on gas and electric lights.
These excessive rates have heretofore
constituted almost its entire volume
and the new power rates relieve US OF
no burden since few people were buy
ing power before.
But at that the new rates do not be-
gin to be as good as the McBride-S Stew
enson group offered. They are not as
low as Darling offered when he was
trying to renew Jones & Hovey's fran
chise and they are not as low as the
Hull ordinance rate which the company
is fighting in court For instance the
new card offers a rate OF cents per
k. W. less five per cent for cash on a
minimum of 335 X. W. per month on a
five horse power motor. The Hull orof-
nance made this rate 4 cents net. If
this same five horse power motor were
to run almost continuously and average
21o hours use IN one month or, say,
1873 X. W., the rate now offered IS
cents per k. w. less five per cent Tor
cash whereas under the Hull ordinance
It would be cents net
The same principle underlies THIS
rate schedule that these artful gentle
men adopt in their electric light rates
and which can be 1kened only to the
wisp of hay hung just beyond the old
mares nose; rne raster she goes the
faster goes the hay. For instance the
fellow who puts ten lamps in his house
