Southern California. SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1872. CHAS. A. GARDNER...E'r & Prop'r ADVERTISING AGENCIES. We have received a circular calling for a convention of publishers of interior newspapers to be held at San Francisco April 16th to regulate the relations between newspapers and advertising agents. We shall not be able to attend that convention, but we have suggestions to make for the consideration of its members; 1st. Require pay in advance from all agents except those who have heretofore paid promptly, and are of undoubted reliability. 2d. Take no business from an advertising agent at a less rate than that charged to local patrons. An exception might be made in favor of storeotyped ads on which a fixed deduction could be allowed. 3d. Establish a certain price per hundred copies, or fraction thereof, of circulation, for advertising in weekly, semi-weekly, tri-weekly, and daily papers. This circulation must be proved and actual and not allowed upon a mere claim. 4th. Organize all the interior newspapers of the state into a Protective Union which should insure united and successful action, and A WARNING TO TAXPAYERS The Subsidy Hunters Proceeding for More Exertion Our Legislative Delegation and the "Five Per Cent Subsidy Law." The people of this State problem remember that during the last islature, the Central Pacific Rail Company attempted to rob counties on the east side of the Joaquin valley of an enormous sidy which would have bankrupt each and every one of them. Bill passed, but was vetoed Governor Haight and failed to come a law because the Rail Company lacked one vote of two-thirds required to pass it the veto; the man who gave vote was taken from his death to give it. After his death Governor Haight fearing that the company would renew their attempt with greater success, consented compromise which resulted in passage of the "Five Per Cent Law." This gave to the Board Supervisors of a county authority to call for an election, at which voters of that county could vote against the granting of a seat to any Railroad Company amount of which subsidy should be more than five per cent assessed value of the property said county. 3d. Establish a certain price per hundred copies, or fraction thereof, of circulation, for advertising in weekly, semi-weekly, tri-weekly, and daily papers. This circulation must be proved and actual and not allowed upon a mere claim. 4th. Organize all the interior newspapers of the state into a Protective Union which should insure united and successful action, and avoid the chance of any country paper taking an ad. from an agent at less than the established rates. 5th. If those advertising agents who are already in business do not cooperate with the newspapers in getting living prices for advertising, then let the Publishers' Protective Union appoint an agent of its own, who could keep an office in San Francisco and would necessarily do all the advertising business, without competition, for the papers he represented would be almost the exclusive media of advertising in the interior. The newspapers are a power in the land and can make their own terms, if they work together. We reject nearly all advertisements that are sent to us from agents, because the prices offered are too low. If every paper would do the same the prices would be improved and the agents themselves make a great deal larger legitimate commission. Go ahead with the convention, and this paper will join heartily with its fellows in correcting the evils complained of. LITERARY NOTICES. The Newspaper Union comes to us as the representative of the Chicago establishment which furnishes "patent outsides" for country papers. Don't want any on this paper. The Dalles (Oregon) Mountaineer says that a gentleman near that place has recently sold his farm for $3,000 and thinks of coming to Southern California for a better climate. Come on, we have a good country here, good climate and plenty of room yet. This gave to the Board Supervisors of a county anticall to call for an election, at which voters of that county could vote against the granting of a seat to any Railroad Company amount of which subsidy should be more than five per cent assessed value of the property said county. During the last political paign both parties advocated the plea of that law, and their dates were pledged to do so was expected that the bill be repealed immediately after meeting of the Legislature those who hoped this did see the presumption that the majority of our Legislature were honest forgetting that the class who office are generally men after money, and are not very ticular how they obtain it, get it. They are ready to anything before election to votes. They also forgot that companies have a great money and are very liberal distribution, but candidates this and seek the position in to sell their votes and influence position in the Legislature scamp, as good as a gold min. If the majority of the Legis had been honest, the bill would been repealed long ago, but contrary is true, the bill is not yet repealed, and it doubtful if it will be; but even is, all the counties from which sidies are desired, will have excepted from the repeal. Messrs Mott and Ellis there to say, that the bill as it passed Assembly did not except the city of Angeles; San Diego, San Bernardino and Santa Barbara accepted but knowing the indignation that would be against them, they did not except Los Angeles: It was Mr. Wilson to do this piece work in the senate, there were objects to be gained by bill having been amended, go back to the assembly for The Dalles (Oregon) Mountaineer says that a gentleman near that place has recently sold his farm for $3,000 and thinks of coming to Southern California for a better climate. Come on, we have a good country here, good climate and plenty of room yet. Somebody favors us with a pamphlet entitled "The Prospects of Vallejo; or Evidences that Vallejo will become a Great City." It contains a map of Northern and Central California which entirely omits the Oregon Division of the Central Pacific R. R. Why is this? The pleasant pages of the Overland are again before us. The April number contains "Sam Rice's Romance," a lively California sketch with a neat vein of humor running through it. "Juanita" is far too prosy and long winded, for the good of the story. "In the Shadow of St. Helena" will be appreciated by the many of our citizens whose homes were once in the beautiful valley at its foot. "See Studies" may be good, but we don't take to it kindly. "A ride through Oregon" is good and natural to the life as we know from experience. There are many other interesting sketches. Subscribe for the Overland and encourage California literature: John H. Carmany & Co., San Francisco, $4 per year. New Dress—The Evening Express has a new dress and looks well, all except the head, which appears to us too black. We congratulate our neighbor upon this evidence of prosperity. ING TO TAXPAYERS. Huddy Hunters Preparor More Extortion— Regislative Delegation the "Five Per Cent. Laws." Table of this State probably that during the last Legthe Central Pacific Railroad attempted to rob the east side of the San Valley of an enormous subwould have bankrupted every one of them. The old, but was vetoed by Haight and failed to be seen because the Railroad lacked one vote of the required to pass it over the man who gave that taken from his death bed. After his death Governor fearing that the company knew their attempt to rob after success, consented to a case which resulted in the of the "Five Per Cent." This gave to the Board ofors of a county authority or an election, at which the that county could vote for the granting of a subsidy Railroad Company, the of which subsidy should not than five per cent of the value of the property in city. no money to do so, but they will buy them, and make us pay for them in the end, they always estimate the cost of an election, and add that to the subsidy, it is all clear profit to them. It is well known that four-fifths of the taxpayers of this county are opposed to subsidies, and if we will only be true to ourselves there is yet time to prevent these thieves from robbing us. Therefore, without delay let every man who has any influence with any member or members of the board of Supervisors, use that influence to obtain a pledge from each and every one of them that they will refuse to order an election for any subsidy whatever, but if they refuse and like our legislators sell us to the enemy, then let them receive the reward that all traitors deserve.

The People of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: SECTION I. An Act entitled an Act for the incorporation of the city of Anaheim, approved February 10th, A.D., 1870, is hereby repealed. SEC II. August Langenberger, Theodore Rimpau and Theodore Reiser are hereby constituted a Board of Commissioners for the purpose of settling and adjusting the affairs of the Corporation of the said city of Anaheim, and they shall have the power, and it is hereby made their duty, within thirty days after the passage of this Act, to proceed to the disposal and sale of all property, both real and personal, belonging to said City of Anaheim, by public Auction to the highest and best bidder, or in such other mode or manner as the said Board may deem for the best interest of said City, and the proceeds of sale shall be retained by them for the purposes hereinafter named in this Act.

SEC IV. The dis-incorporation of the City of Anaheim as hereby provided for shall in no respect authorize or warrant any person or persons to abstract, dig up, injure or destroy any public street or avenue of said city, as they are now laid out and used; but said streets shall continue to be held, used and enjoyed as public highways, and any person obstructing injuring or destroying any of them by digging up or fencing across the same, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and be liable to prosecuted before any Justice of the Peace of said County of Los Angeles, upon complaint of any property holder resident upon the streets so injured, and on conviction thereof, shall be fined in a sum not less than twenty dollars, nor more than one hundred dollars; said fine when collected shall be paid over to the credit of the Anaheim School Fund. SEC V. At the first regular meeting of the Board of Commissioners after the passage of this Act, they shall post notice in at least three public places in said city, notifying all persons having claims against said city of whatever name or nature, to present the same within-thirty days of the date of said notice, and any claim not so presented to said Board of Commissioners within the specified time of thirty days, shall not become a legal claim against the said City of Anaheim, and shall be invalid both in law and equity, as against said city, provided that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to warrants issued, payable out of the City Treasury.

SEC VII. The Board of Commissioners shall be, and they are hereby continued in office until all the provisions of this only did not except the County of Los Angeles; San Diego, San Bernal and Santa Barbara were exchanged but knowing the storm of the election that would be raised in them, they did not dare to Los Angeles: It was left for Wilson to do this piece of dirty work on the senate, there were two to be gained by this, the voting been amended, had to be to the assembly for concurring this would cause delay and prevent the bill being passed or if it was passed, the sub-jevies would have excepted the counties, which they are going to rob at present, so far as concerned it is now of no chance whether the bill is re-rolled or not-unless we bestir our will be robbed. In any everything now depends upon honesty of our Board of Surrogates, if they are beyond the of bribery and corruption we will be safe because nothing done without their concurrence if they prove to be of as able material in the hands of railroad Delilah, as our Legislature delegation, I fear we will find, that the Philistines are us, and like unto Sampson, will bind us hand and foot. The event of a vote the chances against us, it is pretty well known that there are at least 1,000 in this county who not only pay taxes, but never expect and who consider the sale of vote, as a legitimate business action; add to this number who will favor the subsidy either interest or conviction; we have half of the voters of county; all that will be necessary carry the election will be to take two or three hundred Rail employees and we will be the servants of the Philistines wanted to buy votes we have SEC. VI. The Board of Commissioners shall, as soon as practicable after the expiration of the thirty days notice provided for in Section five of this Act, and after the property, real and personal, shall have been disposed of, as provided in this Act, proceed to audit and allow all just claims duly certified against said City of Anaheim, and said Board shall pay the said claims out of the monies in their hands derived from the sale of the real or personal property or otherwise.
