Contingent Fund Cut OF.

The tall figure stood still for moment
One hand vas raised. Mr.. Suffers voice
trembed with emotion.
Good Godr' he said, do the people OF
this state realize that for the first time
in more than n generation the present
Legislature refused 10 make the usual
and customary contingent fund appropria-
ton heretofore placed ut every Gov

as these Investigations? Does not this

character OF the boss and his creatures
In their opposition and their desperate
determination to prevent the exposure

1t is a literal fact that all that has
been done TO show up fraud was achieved
with funds furnished by Commissioner

by volunteer work by several engineers

out OF the funds given TO me by friends
during last falls campaign. and by other
funds subscribed recently by some OF the

California Should
Abolish LandIordism

The California legislature is about
to pass measure to prevent japanese
ownership of California land. The
object is not to preserve California
for CaIifornians, but the restrict the
right to exploit. rob and Cypress CAL
ifornia labor to Caucasian monopoIists
only. 1t is easy enough to understand
why such an issue should be raised
by the element which would have the
people think of anything but how to
establish just conditions. It is easy
to see why that element should appeal
to race prejudice to blind Californians
to the fact that it is landlordism of
all kinds and not Japanese landlord
ism particularly that is to blame for
economic evils in California.
Legislation may dispossess Japan
csc land owners or force them to sell
to Americans without benefiting labor
ers a particle. Japanese land owners
who are working their lands, can still
remain as tenants Of the white man
who disposses them. Landless Cali
fornians will derive no benefit from
result, even Il the. Japanese should
be worse OF. japanese land owners
who are holding land out Of use or
renting TO white tenants, may be sue

ceeded by white owners. who will do
the very same thing. Landless Cali
fornians will derive no benefit rom
this, either.
What California needs is abolition
of land monopoly. Let that be done
and enither alien nor domestic land
lords will be able to exploit California
labor.
If the old Southern slaves had come
together and demanded ownership by
none but negro masters, and that none
but negroes. be allowed to fog and
mistreat them they would have dis
played as much wisdom as is contain
ed in the demand that none but Amer=
lean citizens be allowed to be Ameri-
can landlords.
The Japanese who are letting
themselves be worked into frenzy
over California legislation are as I'M
reasonable as Americans. The masses
OF Japan are denied their natural
rights to the use of Japanese lands
as completely as Americans are de-
MED the right to the use of American
land Yet they are angry at the Cali
fornia legislature for threatening to
deny to them something that
their own government for all practical
purposes withholds from them.
They would show much more sense
in demanding abolition of land mono
poly at home.

Charity In Practical Operation

bottle of condensed milk for her baby.
In the meantime her husband had been
sent to the Insane Asylum and her
three, Oldest children were sent to
the Home for the Friendless. Employ
ment at 81 week was then secured
for her at the Mary Crane Nursery,
out of which she had to pay $3.50 a
week for board for herself and baby.
The Charities allowed her in addition
a pension of $1.50 a week, making her
total income while at work, $3.50 a
week. But she soon became sick and
unable to work at the Nursery. 1t be-
came necessary to take her baby from
her and place it in Children's Home.
After this the record shows that
she was sent from pillar to post, the
Charities some times at loss how to
handle her case and some institutions
to which she had been sent, refusing
to receive her on account of various
apparently reasonable rules. After
passing through a long period OF
trouble, during which she gave birth
to child, the account states. "Fpr
several weeks no requests for assist
ance seem to have been made, al
though the baby was very sick, and
they find that Mrs. Ultich has better
success taking care of it at home than
they had in the Nursery and suspicion
is aroused that she is receiving other
assistance 1t is faithfully recorded
that they know she has man visitor
house. When they questioned her
as Miss C has seen him going into the
about this, she denied it, Wherefore
the conclusion is reached and recorded
that the woman is classifying and that
she is selfish and mercenary. This
mystery of a man visitor is deemed
of such Importance that another re-
cord with accompanying details, is
made of it."
Before this occurred, the Home for
the Friendless had refused to keep
her older children any longer, they
having been at the institution more
bthan year. Finally her case came
to the attention of a woman. who gave
her $50 to fit UP home for her chill
tdren. This she managed to do, and
then the record tells that worse dis
aster than any preceding one overlook
her "On December II, 191S," says
the record, MRS. Ulstich had gone to
neighboring basement to wash, and
had locked up her our Oldest children
and neighbor's child until her re-
turn. The youngest child pulled the
gas tube from the range and short
time thereafter, a peddler, detecting
the odor of gas, forced open the door
aond found all the children lying upon
the floor. The neighbor's child and
two of the Ulstich children were dead
and the others were restored by long
continued efforts of doctors nurses and
pulmotors."
The net results of 10 months care BY
the charity associations were "tWc

ter results can possibly be obtained By

On June Is, 1911, this woman ap-
piled to the United Charities for help.
The records of the Charities show that
three days later she was visited by
one of the agents, four days after that
her case was discussed with one of
her neighbors and not until four days
had again elapsed, was she given help
in the form of $1.O0 order on a gro

The Charities would not be to
blame for such failures were it not
for the fact that most of their sup
porters oppose the institution of bet,
ter methods. Here was a case where
poverty breeding laws had robbed
man Of SO much of his earnings that
when sickness overlook him he had
to go to the County Hospital and his
wife and four children were destitute.
1t is not improbable that his sickness
was itself caused by worry over the
hopeless, hand to mouth struggle for
the record shows that he became in
sane. Whether this was so in this
case or not, it is so in many other
cases. Then when it became neces
+ sary for the wife to find employment
she found that the scramble for jobs
| had made opportunities so scarce and
wages SO low that she had to take
place which did not pay her enough
to support herself and the one child
let with her. Finally she had to take
work which compelled her to leave
the children locked up at home, and
this led to tragedy. Such occur
rences are by no means rare.
But the unjust legalized institutions
which create such poverty and wretch
edness also create the great fortunes
whose beneficiaries support the char
table organizations. 1t is unreason-
able to conclude that in this act lies
the explanation of he indifference or
opposition of charitable organizations
to the measures that will remove the
cause of poverty? Even while charity
workers are engaged in doing out
aims, unjust laws are at work creating
new cases Of poverty and distress.
Those who support charity and oppose
justice, do not only prevent abolition
of existing poverty, but are respon-
sible for all the new cases that are
being produced.
