In California the outlook is e.
qually discouraging. Land own
ers in Mexico are transporting
thousands of Chinese laborers
from the Orient to work in the
cotton fields and on the truck
farms and orchards, as under the
new tariff these products are ad-
mitted to the United States free
of duty. The Chinese Exclusion
Act is also nullified and China
men bound for Mexico can land
at San Francisco. Higher priced
native labor is thrown out of en-
ployment. The Cinnamon will
cultivate crops of onions, sweet
potatoes, cabbages, carrots and
fruits, and these will nov be
sent to California cities.

'New Tariff Brings Joy to New
Zealand" is the headline Of an
article in the New York Sun tell
ing how the people of that far
away British colony are rejoicing
over the passage of the new tar
iff bill that opens up the big A
merican market to competitive
producers all over the world. J.
B. Clarkson, a New Zealand mer-
chant, tells the Sun that the
newspapers, the merchants, the
wool growers and the farmers
are talking of nothing else. Ev-
eryone joins in praising Presi-
dent Wilson for pushing the bill
through. THE chief increased
export will be wcol," said Mr..
Clarkson. Under the old tariff
law it was more advantageous
for both parties to ship wool to
London, whence it was relayed
to the United States. Now wool
will be shipped direct to the Uni
ted States.

''Will cost the nation more

war;" That is the judgment of
Theodore Justice, a practical bu-

the effects of the free-trade tar

free.trade cost the nation, 1894

In the opinion of Mr.. Justice the
cost to the country of the Under

What's the Matter with
Ohio?

IC. N. Gaumer, editor of the
Mansfield Shield (now retired),
as a sterling Democrat and one
Of the best members nf the Gen
nral Assembly who ever sat un-
der the dome of the Capitol. In
the Mansfield News, recently,
Mr.. Gaumer, in a signed article,
answered the question, What's
the matter with Ohio?" He said,
among other things:
Permit me to suggest one
thing that is the matter, and that
is our constitution makers and
have been giving too much heed
to the demands of political dem
agogues and shyster reformers
and are enacting into law too
many of the wild and visionary
doctrines of these self-appointed
and self-seeking theorists who
profess to be able to make eve
rybody rich and wise and good
and happy by legislation, with
the result that we have such a
multiplicity Of laws and so Graz
lily constructed that nobody
knows what is law and what
isn't Many of these laws are
50 conflicting and so involved in
their construction that the At
tOrney General and his assistants
and the Supreme Court have
been for a long time working
double turn to get them into un-
derstandable shape.
"The mistaken idea seems to
prevail that all existing things
and conditions are wrong and
that any change would be just
the right thing and this is called
pro- ress and it's advocates are
supposed to be progressives. 1t
is we'll to keep in mind that not
everything progressive is desir-
able. This craze for change,
whether better or worse, is
shown in our election laws. Here
| we are on the eve of election day =
and number OF laws pertaining
to the election will have to he
threshed out by the Attorney
General or the Supreme Court
before the people will know what
| they are to vote upon or how
they are going to vote. May it
not be that these never ending
changes, making the election
laws more intricate every year,
is one of the reasons the people
are becoming so Indifferent a
| bout voting?
This chaos in our legislation
lis one of the results of trying to
adapt our machinery of govern
ment to the hare-brained doc
trines of Parson Bigelow and his
| followers. 1t is some satlsfac-
tion to know that the senator
and representative from our
county are not of those response

islation. They never trained With

And, strange to say, the differ

fit when the chance comes then
way-and they act as a natior

ME- RCHANTs Of
CALIFORNIA FOR
MINIMUM WAGE
Large Employers of Women
Declare Themselves in Ac-
cord With Governors
Announced Policy

So far from opposing minimum
wage law for women. or seeking to
block a legislative inquiry into the sub
ject. California's leading merchants,
large employers of women, declare
themselves to be in complete accord
with Governor Johnson's announced
policy and purpose.
In resolutions adopted yesterday they
attested their harmony with the gov
ernor.s views, but invited the inquiry
and offered their full cooperation.
The resolutions were signed by the
California Retail Dry Goods associa-
ton. the Retail Dry Goods association
Of San Francisco, the Retail Dry Goods
Merchants association of San Fran
cisco and by firms and individuals in
the same trade in this city, Los Ange-
les, Oakland. Sacramento, San Diego,
San Jose, Berkeley, Fresno Marysville.
Eureka and Long Beach.
Here is the text of the resolution
with the names of the signers:
whereas, Governor Hiram W. Johnson in his
reply to the Chicago Tribune, as published IN the
evening press Of wednesday, March IL, among
other things says:
strongly do I favor minimum wage for
women which shall be just to the employer and
which shall be living wage for the employe.
favor action, both nationally and in the vari-
Gus states.
1T was my purpose at this session Of the leg
islature. and is STILL II It be possible. to have
commission appointed which shall. after the adj
tournment Of the legislature. thoroughly inyesti-
gate the matter and report its findings.
'.The same necessity for immediate action in
fixing minimum wage for women does not exist
in this state as in of the eastern states but
that same necessity may soon exist and it is my
hope that then people may be fully prepared
TO deal firmly, justly and adequately with the
matter;" and
whereas the members of the Retail Dry Goods
