WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...MARCH 29, 1879. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the place designated. They are authorized to receive money in payment for subscriptions or advertisements: WESTMINSTER.....ROBERT STRONG GARDEN GROVE.....CON HOWE SANTA ANA.....DR J. N. BURNETT ORANGE.....N. D. HARWOOD TUNTIN.....C. TUSTIN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANGO....R. EGAN NORWALK.....J. E. CALDWELL SILVERADO....J. C. HILL TRAVELING AGENT....A. T. FEKDON TAXATION UNDER THE NEW CONSTITUTION. We had intended completing our review of the Educational sections of the new State Constitution this week, but as taxation seems to engross more attention than education, we defer further review of the educational article for the present. From conversation with some of our rural friends, we find that there is a wide spread opinion among them that the new Constitution will in some way reduce taxes. Those of them who belong to the debtor class are particularly enthusiastic over the provision in the new Constitution for the taxing of mortgages. We have carefully studied the Article on Revenue and Taxation, we have read Gen. Howard's voluminous letter, we have perused the weighty arguments of the Chronicle and the Los Angeles Express, and last but not least we have listened to Kearney, the mighty expounder of the new Constitution; yet from all these sources we have failed to discover any real substantial grounds for the consummation of the hopes of our Granger friends. From the sources named we have had plenty of assertions, abundance of fine sounding theories; and from the last mentioned source more bad logic and bad English than it has ever been our fate to listen to. We shall not attempt to theorize, nor shall we fill our space with quotations from learned jurists and distinguished writers on political economy, but instead, shall solve a few mathematical problems in taxation, and show by figures, conclusions which we think will convince some capital out of the State? Will Eastern money-brokers go to the trouble and expense of investigating into the condition of our county and municipal finances for the sake of negotiating a loan of a lew thousand dollars? The rate of taxation varies in every county, in every city, in almost every school district, in the State; it is fluctuating from year to year. No loan could be contracted at any fixed rate of interest, unless that rate was fixed so high that no tax levy would be likely to exceed it. Let those among the debtor class who favor taxing money loaned on mortgages recollect this—the consumer must pay for every increase in the value of the article considered. A sack of flour may pass through the hands of a dozen different dealers, each one making a profit by handling it, but the man who buys and consumes the flour must pay all these accumulated profits. Men of capital are under no obligations to lend it. The necessities of the debtor drive him to borrow. If the capitalists chose to increase the rate of interest two or three per cent, above the present rates, to cover the tax upon loans, the debtor will have to pay that increase, and the new Constitution can not prevent it. GIVE IT CAREFUL STUDY. The adoption of a new Constitution is so fraught with importance to every tax-payer in the State, that it is part of wisdom to carefully study the document, and weigh the effect of the various sections of the proposed law, before pronouncing for or against it. The natural tendency of the people is to vote in favor of its adoption, on the principle that the old Constitution is in some respects deficient, and that the new Constitution might in some myaterious way relieve some of the burdens with which this State is undoubtedly afflicted. In fact, the idea with many seems to be anything for a change. All thinking men will agree that this is not the right way to view the matter. The opponents of the new Constitution claim that not only will its adoption afford no remedy for the more aggravating evils under which we suffer, but that it will precipitate additional burdens on the people of the State, work rank injustice to certain classes, drive capital out of the State, thereby increasing the rates of interest, overthrow the present excellent public school system, put the people more under the thumb of the Mr. Olden's House. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Mr. W. in Wednesday's Gazette charged—that the Committee Hayward's trees. By their movement they were the best treasured as they thought that at first they might not be so good award any premium to acknowledge to have been business was to decide if trees in the exhibition, their prejudices and predilections who cannot forget his prejunction on such a committee. Mr. Holt says as I never myself in an unenviable reason I never retract is this charges that I cannot submit doing so I offer my proofs from Mr. D. C. Hayward: SACRAMENTO, To Wm. R. Olden, Anahale DEAR SIR:—I did not premium at the Riverside treatment I received at the Angeles. Last Fall at these I exhibited some vera on China lemon, of the one They were one-third larger than any on exhibition, came around, Mr. Spurgeon came to me and said threw my trees out on acclo on China lemon. I went off Santa Ana, one of the him why they were going out, and he said he had had but the other two had made to throw out my trees on being on China lemon. They had come around to Yours respectful. Second, the letter from Santa Ana, M. Col. Wm. R. Olden, Anahale DEAR SIR:—Mr. M. D., the Committee on orange cultural Fair last Fall, said fair that the Committee wore that fact of their being on was my understanding at were ruled out, and Mr. have just seen, will, if not the Committee did rule that Yours truly. In addition to these sights have seen Mr. M. D. Hayward's committee on nursery tells me that he protested out of Hayward's house failed to discover any real substantial grounds for the consummation of the hopes of our Granger friends. From the sources named we have had plenty of assertions, abundance of fine sounding theories; and from the last mentioned source more bad logic and bad English than it has ever been our fate to listen to. We shall not attempt to theorize, nor shall we fill our space with quotations from learned jurists and distinguished writers on political economy, but instead, shall solve a few mathematical problems in taxation, and show by figures, conclusions which we think will convince some of our friends in the debtor class that taxing mortgages will not put money into their pockets and will not in any way relieve them of the burthens that now oppress them. We have a granger friend who is very enthusiastic over the new Constitution, and particularly so over the clause authorizing the taxing of mortgages. Our friend is the owner of 160 acres of land. When he bought his land he was unable to pay in full, and mortgaged it for the balance due. "Unmerciful disaster has followed him fast, and followed him faster." His indebtedness has increased until now he has mortgage of three thousand dollars upon his ranch. His land is assessed at the rate of ten dollars per acre. His State and county taxes average about 2 per cent. per annum, on the assessed value of his land. He pays 15 per cent. per annum on the money, and considers himself lucky in securing it at that rate. There is no provision in the new Constitution lowering the rates of interest. It is not at all likely that the capitalist, from whom our friend borrows, will reduce his rates because that instrument provides for taxation of loans. On the contrary he will increase the rate of interest on his capital at least 2 percent a year. But our friend's land is liable to be taxed for school purposes, etc., and to secure himself against this local taxation the capitolist will exact at least 3 per cent. more than his present rates. Now let us see how much taxing mortgages has benefited our Granger friend. On money borrowed he pays $450 interest, on $1600, the assessed value of his land, he pays $32 tax; total $482. The new Constitution adopted and his land assessed at the present rate, our friend would pay no direct tax, but instead would pay $540 interest—$52 more than the total tax and interest he is now paying! "Misfortunes never come singly," calamities are gregarious. Our granger friend by his unfortunate borrowing has fixed for the assessor the cash value of all the land in his neighborhood. Up goes the assessment on his land to $20 per acre. Our granger friend has a neighbor, who has been more fortunate, or rather more provident. His neighbor has no mortgage on his land. Section two of the article on taxation says: "Cultivated and uncultivated land of the same quality, and similarly situated, shall be assessed at the same value." The land of his provident neighbor must be assessed at $20 per acre. This would work no hardship if the assessments on all the lands failed to discover any real substantial grounds for the consummation of the hopes of our Granger friends. From the sources named we have had plenty of assertions, abundance of fine sounding theories; and from the last mentioned source more bad logic and bad English than it has ever been our fate to listen to. We shall not attempt to theorize, nor shall we fill our space with quotations from learned jurists and distinguished writers on political economy, but instead, shall solve a few mathematical problems in taxation, and show by figures, conclusions which we think will convince some of our friends in the debtor class that taxing mortgages will not put money into their pockets and will not in any way relieve them of the burthens that now oppress them.

Nice facts I can read about this fact are: - Misfortunes never come singly, - Calamities are gregorious. - Our granger friend by his unfortunate borrowing has fixed for this debtor class that Taxes were paid under certain circumstances. I regret very much that main at Riverside but Melrose that he should seem less day evening,and had I maintained I am decidedly tom foolooly would not take they had attempted to gun battery.I would have short order. San Francisco SAN FERRY BABLEY—100 sacks 200 chs do S7o brew San Francisco SAN FERRY BABLEY—100 sacks 200 chs do S7o brew Our granger friend has a neighbor, who has been more fortunate, or rather more provident. His neighbor has no mortgage on his land. Section two of the article on taxation says: "Cultivated and uncultivated land of the same quality, and similarly situated, shall be assessed at the same value." The land of his provident neighbor must be assessed at $20 per acre. This would work no hardship if the assessments on all the lands in the county or the State were doubled; but such will not be the case. Our friend borrowed the money secured by mortgage three years ago—before the price of real estate began to decline—before Kearney began his incendiary howlings—before the new Constitution was thought of. Should the mortgage be foreclosed (and it will if the new Constitution is adopted), our friend will be compelled to sacrifice his land. He could not to-day sell it for cash sufficient to satisfy the mortgage. Will some expounder of the new Constitution tell us how, wherein, or in what manner this debtor, and hundreds of others in the State similarly situated, will be benefited by taxing mortgages? We have another friend who is the owner of eighty acres of land, assessed at $12 per acre. Needing means to improve his property and pay off an indebtedness, he secured by mortgage from an Eastern capitalist a loan of $3000 at eight per cent. per annum. He now pays on his land a tax of $20, or two per cent of the assessed value. Under the new Constitution he will pay an indirect tax of $60. His Eastern friend will certainly not reduce his rate of interest two per cent. because California has adopted a new Constitution, nor will he (the capitalist) renew the mortgage on any terms. Section five of the article on taxation says: "Every contract hereafter made, by which a debtor is obligated to pay any tax or assessment on money loaned, or on any mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien, shall, as to any interest specified therein and as to such tax or assessment, be null and void." Could any better scheme be invented to keep Eastern graph? Ex-Mayor Edwin Reed, of Bath, Maine, is President, Thomas Wallace, of Connecticut, Vice-President, L. S. Hapgood, of Boston, Treasurer. The capital is $3,000,000. The managers announce their intention to immediately construct a line of double wires west and south. They claim the ownership of American and European patents on machines and wires capable of transmitting a thousand words per minute. The system has been thoroughly tested during the last four months over circuits thousands of miles in extent. This new company professes the ability, with three wires, to perform the whole telegraph business of the country at a maximum rate of twenty-five cents for thirty words between stations east of the Rocky mountains; night messages, fifteen cents for fifty words; press reports, ten cents per hundred words. It is proposed under arrangements with the Post Office, to use stamps for messages and utilize street letter boxes for stamped messages, the same to be collected every fifteen minutes during the day. The Company claims that their system is an entirely new invention and not a revival of the old automatic scheme discarded as impracticable in 1876. CHICAGO, March 26th.—An Inter-Ocean Washington special says: Secretary Sherman to-day received a letter from T. W. Phillips, of North Carolina, enclosing a Confederate bond for redemption. Phillips is evidently up to the spirit of the times, and knows that a Confederate Congress is now sitting in Washington. He writes: "Enclosed please find a one-thousand dollar bond of the Confederate States of America, issued in accordance with the sixth section of the Act of the Confederate Congress, February 17th, 1864. I desire to have my bond filed for redemption at some future day. I believe that a law, sooner or later, will be passed making them convertible from the fact that two-thirds of the present members of the Senate and House have been Confederate bondholders. Such a law would produce a vast deal of consolation among the Southern people who have been made deatitude by the war. My object in filing now is to entitle me to take precedence in the time of settlement." BARLEY—100 sacks; 200 sks do; 72½c; brewed 05@115 for ordinary at 70@75.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—Mr. Holt in his reply in Wednesday's Gazette admits all that I charged—that the Committee ruled out Mr. Hayward's trees. By their own acknowledgment they were the best trees exhibited, but as they thought that at some future time they might not be so good they refused to award any premium to the trees they acknowledge to have been the best. Their business was to decide in favor of the best trees in the exhibition, without regard to their prejudices and predilections. Any man who cannot forget his prejudices is unfit to act on such a committee. Mr. Holt says as I never retract I place myself in an unenviable position. The reason I never retract is that I never make charges that I cannot substantiate, and in doing so I offer my proofs. First, the letter from Mr. D. C. Hayward: SACRAMENTO, March 5th, 1879. To Wm. R. Olden, Anaheim, DEAR SIR:—I did not expect to get a premium at the Riverside Fair after the treatment I received at the late Fair at Los Angeles. Last Fall at the Fair in Los Angeles I exhibited some very fine trees budded on China lemon, of the orange and lemon. They were one-third larger "age considered," than any on exhibition. Before the judges came around, Mr. Spurgeon, of Santa Ana, came to me and said they were going to throw my trees out on account of their being on China lemon. I went to Mr. Halladay, of Santa Ana, one of the Judges, and asked him why they were going to throw my trees out, and he said he had done all he could, but the other two had made up their minds to throw out my trees on account of their being on China lemon. And that too before they had come around to examine the trees. Yours respectfully, D. C. HAYWARD. Second, the letter from Mr. Spurgeon: SANTA ANA, March 11th, 1879, Col. Wm. R. Olden, Anaheim, DEAR SIR:—M. M. D. Halladay, one of the Committee on orange trees at the Horticultural Fair last Fall, said to me during the fair that the Committee were going to rule out Mr. Hayward's trees from competition from the fact of their being on lemon stock, and it was my understanding at the time that they were ruled out, and Mr. Halladay, whom I have just seen, will, if necessary, testify that the Committee did rule them out. Yours truly, W. H. SPURGEON. In addition to these strong statements I have seen Mr. M. D. Halladay, one of the Committee on nursery trees. Mr. Halladay tells me that he protested against the ruling of Hayward's trees, but was voted down. GARDEN GROVE. A Temperature Colony—What can be done with ten acres. BY A. G. COOK. Garden Grove was started as a temperance colony in 1876, upon a tract of rich, sloping sediment land, mostly in the artesian well belt, three and one-half miles south from the Anaheim depot, five miles from Orange and Santa Ana, seven miles from a beautiful seabeach and fishing, and nine miles from the mountains; and a more prosperous community it would be hard to find. As to soil, climate, location, and the great number of things which make home life pleasant, they are good. It contains a post office, two schools, a school house of modern completeness, a church, Sunday school, literary and singing clubs, physician, dentist, cheese factory, general store with large stock of goods, wagon maker, two blacksmiths, mason, carpenter, and painter. Each of those in the above business have small tracts of land devoted to a wonderfully diversified culture of almost every fruit, vegetable and other production known in California, and generally keep a few cows and considerable poultry, making it a community of independent homes in the highest sense of that term. There is a demand for other trades such as one could follow, but relying also partly upon the production of his home place in his first support until the population becomes greater. There is no saloon, and its character as a temperance community is fully sustained. A large daily mail is received. Land is worth from thirty to seventy-five dollars an acre, according to location and improvements. There are several places for sale; large places are being sub-divided, and improvement is general. The water is pure as a mountain spring, and abundant; and June butter from clover is made the year round, while crisp vegetables are had continuously. The climate this distance inland is the lightful medium between the coast coolness and interior heat, and no healthier place is known, it being absolutely free from local disease. One great advantage is the abundant supply of pure water which may be obtained by each land owner using the means thereby insuring the most extraordinary crops in dry years, making their land doubly remunerative when other lands fail.

Also a pair of good horses with set of farm harness. W.S.DAVIS,Anaheim. Notice In addition to these strong statements I have seen Mr. M. D. Halladay, one of the Committee on orange trees at the Horticultural Fair last Fall, said to me during the fair that the Committee were going to rule out Mr. Hayward's trees from competition from the fact that their being on lemon stock, and it was my understanding at the time that they were ruled out, and Mr. Halladay, whom I have just seen, will, if necessary, testify that the Committee did rule them out. Yours truly, W. H. SPURGEON. In addition to these strong statements I have seen Mr. M. D. Halladay, one of the Committee on nursery trees. Mr. Halladay tells me that he protested against the ruling out of Hayward's trees, but was voted down by the other two, one of whom afterwards (he did not remember which), wanted some exhibitor to compete who had trees on lime stocks. Of course Mr. Halladay refused to permit them to make fish of one and flesh of another. But this little proceeding shows the animus of the whole proceeding, which was that the premium should not be given to trees from the southern end of the county. It was not Hayward so much, but it was the southern end of the county that was ruled out. The fact of the matter is that the Horticultural Society as at present managed in run in the interest of Los Angeles, just as the Riverside Fair was intended to advertise Riverside. To do that, Los Angeles must take the premiums at her fair and Riverside at hers; and if any exhibitions endangered those results, they were to be ruled out and everything made safe. In view of these facts, I don't think it is worth while for the citizens of this end of the county to furnish any more money to support an organization which is not disposed to give them an equal chance to compete. Personally I have no interest in the matter, but I have a natural love of fair play. And I want to see every man have it. Let the best win. The frost discussion at Riverside. My statement of the facts regarding last Winter's frost seems to be troubling the minds of many of the members of the society. In view of this I certainly expected that some attempt would be made to dispute or disprove some of my statements, but if I may judge from the report of the proceedings, no one attempted this. The facts were too well known to be true. But the fact that they were true did not diminish their wrath at me for having made them public. Consequently Gen. Shields was called upon to spout some of his idiotic balderdash in the hope of casting ridicule upon what they could not attack in any other way. The verbal pyrotechnics which he orated for their amusement, read like the incoherent ravings of a maniac; they are pointless, senseless and devoid of meaning, but they are unmistakably has. No other man in Southern California can write or talk so much and say so little as this same pop-up general. Language is generally supposed to be given us to express and make plain our thoughts and ideas, but his are so enveloped in a cloud of meaningless words and obscure phrases, that most of the time it is more trouble to find out what he is trying to say, than the whole subject is worth. I regret very much that I was unable to remain at Riverside, but I had promised Mr. Melrose that he should be at home Thursday evening, and had to leave. Had I remained I am decidedly of opinion that this tattoo would not have occurred, but if they had attempted to shoot off their pop-up battery, I would have silenced it in very short order. San Francisco Markets SAN FRANCISCO, March 27. BABLEY—100 sacks good coast feed, 750 lb., 200 lb. browning is onable at $1. The climate this distance inland is the delightful medium between the coast coolness and interior heat, and no healthier place is known, it being absolutely free from local disease. One great advantage is the abundant supply of pars water which may be obtained by each land owner using the means, thereby insuring the most extraordinary crops in dry years, making their land doubly remunerative when other lands fail. It is well adapted for growing oranges and a wonderfully wide range of other fruit. A considerable number of orange trees are already in bearing sufficiently to demonstrate the excellence of the fruit. The writer examined the orange orchards within one mile of the post-office, but found no instance of injury to them from the unusually heavy frosts of last winter, thus demonstrating that this is among the few favorable localities for orange growing. Corn yields from forty to one hundred bushels to the acre, according to condition, and in some instances favorable, a greater yield is obtained. To illustrate the fertility of the soil, and quick results, when one can come here with means to put out his improvements at once. I will give, say one instance of what has been accomplished in less than two years by Deacon Joseph Howe, formerly a resident of Vineland, New Jersey, who purchased ten acres of unimproved land in Garden Grove, which he has converted into a model farm, combining a little of every branch. I called on him, requesting him to tell me about his place, and be said: "In August, 1877, I put out an orange orchard, and in seventeen months from that date I gathered and had over a bushel of luscious oranges and had a few lemons on my trees. The same year that I put out the trees, bushes and vines, I had a few choice peaches, raisin grapes, currants, blackberries, etc.; and this year, 1879, I will have an abundance of figs, apricots, peaches, apples, pears, oranges, lemons, raisin grapes, berries, and so on. I have less than an acre of alfalfa, upon which I now feed three cows and one horse, and with what squashes, beets and a little corn folder I feed, it will be enough. I had only two cows last year, so I sold some hay, and I have some in my barn now. I cut it five times last year, which was the year I sowed it. My barley was the heaviest that I ever saw, and after taking the crop off, I raised a good crop of corn on the same land, which was the second crop the same year. The water flowing from my artesian well through my garden, undermined all of my biggest beets, so I washed it, cut the tops off, and the clean beat weighed 132 pounds. My potatoes paid me better than potatoes ever did in any other country, and I never saw such vegetables and crops of all kinds. This soil works so mellow, I love to cultivate it and see the wonderful growth. Ten acres is as much land as I want to cultivate, and it brings me a good income. I keep one horse pigs and poultry. I don't think there is a goopher or squirrel on my place unless my neighbors have lost some, for I have killed them." For Sale.
