WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... SEPT. 30, 1882 THE RAILROAD TAXES. The discussion which has been going on in this county relative to the propriety of the Supervisors accepting $45,000 from the railroad company in payment of their taxes for 1881 and 1882 (the amount claimed being $66,000) has been brought to a sudden end by a decision rendered by Justice Field of the U.S. Circuit Court, who holds that the tax levys for those years are null and void because, first—no deduction was allowed for mortgage on the property, such deduction being allowed on assessments of property of individuals; second—no opportunity was given the company to be heard before the State Board of Equalization respecting the assessment. The case in which the decision was given was that of San Mateo county, but of course the ruling applies to all the counties except the few who accepted the compromise offered. A stay in all the other cases was granted until this decision is passed upon by the United States Supreme Court. Referring to this, Justice Field said: "If the decision now reached be there sustained the State will be obliged to order a new assessment, in making which the defendant will be allowed a deduction in the valuation of its property for the mortgage thereon and also a hearing before the State Board of Equalization, with respect to the assessment. If, on the other hand, the decision be reversed, the other causes can be at once disposed of. By taking out a writ of error immediately on the judgment now rendered, it is possible that the case may be advanced on the calendar and be heard at the coming team." It has been claimed that those counties which compromised with the railroad company and received the amount agreed upon will have to refund the money in view of the decision above quoted. But it is doubtful whether they can be compelled to do anything of the kind. Justice Sawyer of the U.S. Circuit Court has rendered a decision in favor of the defendants in the suits of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Company vs. George Mason, Tax Collector Tobin was the last speaker. He advanced nothing original, and it was plain that he did not relish the task of speaking to so slim an audience. Democratic Meeting. As the result of parsimony in the matter of advertising, the attendance at the Democratic meeting on last Saturday evening was not large and consisted mainly of townspeople, the Democrats in the outlying country evidently not knowing that a meeting was to be held. The meeting was called to order by Mr. W. M. Bailey and Mr. W. M. McFaulden was elected Chairman. P. B. Tully, the Democratic candidate for Congress from the Fourth District, was the first speaker. He spoke for over an hour in a conversational tone in a pleasant, easy way, and defined his position upon all the questions now agitating the political world. He promised if elected that he would favor the regulation of inter-State railroad trade; that he would not only labor to prevent the repeal of the Act prohibiting the immigration of Chinese (which he thought the Republican Congressmen might try to do) but he would do what he could to have the Coinamen already in this country sent out of it; and that he was in full accord with the plank in his party's platform relating to ammptuary laws. He said that in all essential particulars the platforms of the two parties on this Coast were almost identical and that it was a contest of men rather than of principles. He desired voters to scrutinize the past record of himself and Gov. Woods, his opponent. While he had lived in the Fourth Congressional District for 25 years, he asserted that Woods was now practically a resident of San Francisco and never had lived in this district. Woods was a sort of political buffalo who migrated whenever the grass became short, and had no sort of claim on the people of this district. In conclusion, Mr. Tully promised it elected to further the industrial interests of Los Angeles county with all his power and influence, and to stand by this county—if this county stands by him. Mr. Mackley, the candidate for member of the State Board of Equalization, briefly asserted the rigidity of his backbone, and promised to assess the railroad company's property in accordance with law, and not to be swerved from the fulfillment of his duties by any corporate influence. COUNTY Gleaned from our community. Messrs. Adams & Syden to put up machinery for church organs in Los Angeles is looked over the Pacific that Los Angeles is They will soon be at work located at Old Street, and will use pills.

One of the best baskets who is in a position that three years ago cent. of the property was under mortgage, est. Now the mortgage twenty per cent., while seldom exceeds eighty security. It is often fact, our informant It has been claimed that those counties which compromised with the railroad company and received the amount agreed upon will have to refund the money in view of the decision above quoted. But it is doubtful whether they can be compelled to do anything of the kind. Justice Sawyer of the U.S. Circuit Court has rendered a decision in favor of the defendants in the suits of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Company vs. George Mason, Tax Collector of Marin county, and the same vs. J.L. Dinwiddle, Tax Collector of Sonoma county, to recover back taxes paid by the company, under protest. If money paid under protest cannot be recovered, it will be difficult to recover money paid voluntarily. J. I. Doyle, a former Railroad Commissioner, makes the following suggestions anent the collection of taxes from corporations: The law for the collection of taxes from these companies should also be carefully revised and amended. Railroad companies should undoubtedly have as full and fair an opportunity to contest in good faith the legality of a demand for taxes as individuals have, but the attempt to withdraw their enormous properties from all taxation and force compromises from the counties affected by non-payment and vexatious litigation, entailing practical insolvency on the county governments, should be followed by more serious consequences than a mere adjudication—arrived at after three or four years of litigation—that the tax must be paid. Any company vexatiously refusing to pay its taxes should be dissolved. It exists only by virtue of the law, and should cease to exist when it ceases to obey the law. With such enactments as these on the statute book it is probable railroad companies would deem it policy to pay their taxes as the rest of us have to do, and regulate their conduct by the law of the land. If such an enactment is practicable, it ought to receive legislative sanction at the very next session. M. M. ESTEE. The speech of Mr. Estee, the Republican candidate for Governor, was the clearest and most vigorous exposition of the several issues which it has ever been our good fortune to listen to. He was not guilty of uttering a single demagogical remark during his speech, and his forbearance to the opposing ticket was a new and refreshing feature of politics. When he read a dispatch giving Justice Field's decision on the railroad tax cases, a voice in the crowd asked, "What are Field's political?" Nine politicians out of ten would have seized the opportunity here presented to "make a point," but instead of trying to throw the onus of the decision upon the Democratic party Estee replied that he could not believe the Judge was influenced in reaching his conclusions by political considerations or by any other improper motives. His exposition of the infamy of the railroad contract system put that practice in a startling light. Indeed, his whole speech power and influence, and to stand by this county—if this county stands by him. Mr. Mackley, the candidate for member of the State Board of Equalization, briefly asserted the rigidity of his backbone, and promised to assess the railroad company's property in accordance with law, and not to be swerved from the fulfillment of his duties by any corporate influence. Col. Tobin was the last speaker. He advanced nothing original, and it was plain that he did not relish the task of speaking to so slim an audience. WESTMINSTER ITEMS. Death has again brought sorrow upon us and taken away one of the most promising of Westminster boys. Marion Ross Marquis gave promise of making a good and useful man. Although but 15 years of age he was beginning to take the place of his father. May God bless this affliction by making it means of bringing the young people to see the need of getting ready now for death, for it may call upon any of us next. Mr. J. F. Sherwood is getting better, and is able to be up. The Misses Celia and Birdie Lefler bid good-bye to their friends here on Monday and started for a visit among their old friends in Illinois. May they have a safe journey, a pleasant visit and a speedy return. Mr. J. W. Patterson expects soon to go to Texas to look for sheep range and to see the prospects for sheepmen there. Mr. Jas. A. McFadden is at home on a visit. Arizona seems to agree with him very well. The sociable last Saturday evening was well attended, and all enjoyed themselves. Last year the Santa Barbara fruit cannery had a few lots of Westminster grapes shipped to them for canning and were so well pleased with them that they have ordered more this year. The first lot of about two tons will be shipped from here next Tuesday. We saw your old correspondent J. T. on the train for Santa Ana last Wednesday. An Anti-Monopoly Ticket. Many of the merchants of San Francisco are actively engaged in preparing a new ticket to be known as the Anti-Monopoly Ticket of California. They are selecting names from the nominees of both the old parties, and the ticket will be largely made up in this way; but new names of well-known men will be added whenever the present nominees are not satisfactory. In order to sound the public sentiment, and to be able to act intelligently, they have mailed some thousands of circulars to individuals in all parts of the State, asking the farmers, merchants and mechanics to express their preference concerning the present nominees. No other consideration than that of anti-monopoly will be allowed to influence the executive committee. The ticket will be ready to present to the Farmers' Convention at Stockton, on the 7th of October, for the consideration of that body. Justice Field's decision on the railroad tax cases, a voice in the crowd asked, "What are Field's politics?" Nine politicians out of ten would have seized the opportunity here presented to "make a point," but instead of trying to throw the onus of the decision upon the Democratic party Estee replied that he could not believe the Judge was influenced in reaching his conclusions by political considerations or by any other improper motives. His exposition of the infamy of the railroad contract system put that practice in a startling light. Indeed, his whole speech was a masterly effort, and his manner could not fail to impress his hearers with the belief that in him the railroad monopoly had an able, powerful and influential antagonist. The State Board of Equalization has fixed the tax levy for 1882 at 59.6 cents on each $100 of assessed valuation. This is divided for the funds as follows: For the general fund, 27.3 cents; for the schools, 24.3 cents; and for the interest and sinking fund, 7.5 cents. The tax levy for 1881 was 65.5 cents. The levy is based upon a property valuation of $582,158,981—or $51,420,696 less than last year. The assessable property in Los Angeles county this year amounts to $20,-916,835 and in 1881 it amounted to $20,203,-791. The levy is discussed in an extract from an exchange, which we publish on the first page of today’s paper. ARKANSAS—the State which spells its name one way and pronounces it in another—has been honoring Dorsey and dishonoring itself by re-electing that individual chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. Dorsey is simply a vulgar thief whom a verdict of acquittal did not purify, and the sooner he is retired from all positions of influence and prominence, the better it will be for the party to which he unfortunately belongs. BALTIMORE, Sept. 22.—At the session of the Grand Lodge of the I. O. O. F. an amendment to admit to membership civilized Indians in the Indian Territory was lost. —The Los Angeles Times proposes to get rid of Chinatown by purchasing the western portion of it and extending and widening Los Angeles street through the eastern part of it.—S. F. Chronicle. The error in the above item is that our contemporary proposes that the city purchase the property referred to. The big Four of the Times are hardly equal to the task of purchasing such an amount of property for such purely philanthropic motives. —Justice Gannon reports the following real estate transactions: Homestead by Sara Ranous of 20 acres in Section 8, T. 5 S; R 10 W; and the mortgage of the same property by F. J. Ranous to B. F. Townsend for $950. —The only criminal case brought into court during the week was that of a Chinaman who was found guilty of stealing a silver fork from his employer. Justice Gannon fined him $10 and the fine was paid. REDFIELD (D. T.) Sept, 27th.—A great prairie fire is raging in this country. It has destroyed much farm property, and threatens Redfield. Dr. H. M. Towne, formerly of Chicago, and Zachariah Holm, formerly of Taylor Ridge, Ill., were surrounded by the fire and endeavored to run a team through the flames. The horses turned suddenly and both were thrown from the wagon. Towne's leg was broken and he was smothered and burned to a crisp. Holm escaped, but was horribly burned. COUNTY NEWS. Gleaned from our Exchanges. Commercial. Messrs. Adams & Symonds have arranged to put up machinery for the manufacture of church organs in Los Angeles. They have looked over the Pacific Coast and decided that Los Angeles is the place for them. They will soon be at work in earnest. They have located at Old Aliso Mills, on Aliso street, and will use power from the Globe Mills. A fire broke out last night in the storage winehouse of Mrs. Bigelow at Linden Park, on First street, and the building and contents were entirely destroyed. It appears that a little boy went into the storehouse to draw some wine, and brought a lamp in contact with a pile of pampas plumes, setting the whole building in flames in a moment. The loss on building and contents was about $2,000, with no insurance. Herald. Friday morning the dead body of a man named Fred Wolf was found in his cabin at Fayal, near Boschke's Island, San Pedro. Wolf had been drinking to excess for some time and it was supposed that in wandering about at night he had fallen on the trestle work and received internal injuries. Downey Signal. William Caruthers, the young man who distinguished himself by shooting Spelar Parsons in the car, had an examination before Judge Buster yesterday morning, and was held in $500 bail to appear for trial. Mr. J. M. Taylor, of Compton, has invented an "animal exterminator" for exterminating gophers and squirrels. The contrivance forces smoke into the holes and suffocates the "varmints." Mr. Taylor has procured a caveat and is confident of success with his invention. Express. One of the best business men in this city, who is in a position to know, informed us that three years ago about seventy-five per cent. of the property of Los Angeles county was under mortgage, at a high rate of interest. Now the mortgages do not amount to twenty per cent., while the rate of interest seldom exceeds eight per cent. with good security. It is oftener six per cent. In fact, our informant thinks the property of PACIFIC COAST NEWS. B. B. Nell, aged 18 years, was killed by a fall from his horse near Delano on Sunday. The site for the Veterans' Home has been selected. It is in Napa county. Charles Grieves, aged 48 years, was run over by the cars near Lodi on Monday and instantly killed. Mrs. Simpson of San Jose, in a fit of mental aberration, made an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide by cutting her throat with a razor. The people of Haywards and vicinity have subscribed $3,500 to be given to the Cutting Packing Company, if that firm's cannery is located at Haywards. A fire at Sacramento last week destroyed considerable property occupied by Chinese, and several men were seriously hurt by a falling awning. The Board of Supervisors of Shasta county have ordered an election to decide as to the removal of the county seat from Shasta at the general election in November. At Santa Barbara on Sunday, while Joseph W. Winemiller was getting some crawfish from a cage on which he was standing the boat he had left alongside floated away. He endeavored to swim after it, but was drowned. An attempt was made to raise the body by fishing and firing charges of glycerine, but without avail. On Saturday afternoon William Delany, a young man 18 years of age employed on a dredger working in the middle of the river near Stockton, was seriously and probably fatally injured by getting caught in a rope winding around a shaft. His left arm was broken in two places and three ribs were fractured, one of them forcing its way through the lungs. At the last meeting of the Grand Lodge I. O. G. T. of Oregon it was decided to establish an orphans' home in that State under the supervision of that Order. Accompanying this was the announcement that the home would be located in the place that should by the 1st of September raise the largest amount of money to aid the work. In accordance with this, the home will be located at The Dalles. Sparkling Eyes, Rosy checks and clear complexion only accompany good health.

In fact, our informant thinks the property of the county is practically free, as the mortgages could nearly all be lifted at any time. Los Angeles, he is confident, is in a better condition financially than any county in the State. LOS ANGELES MARKETS. Corrected weekly for the Gazette by E.

In accordance with this, the home will be located at The Dalles. WYTHEVILLE, Va., Sept. 27. — The Baptist church at Hampton Cross Roads was the scene of a terrible affray on Sunday. During service Jerry Cox and Levi Bryson became involved in a quarrel, and both drew pistols and fired wildly. The audience all arose and made a rush for the doors amid scenes of indescribable excitement. The air was filled with the shrieks of frightened men, women and children. The firing continued for some time. Several bullets passed over the minister's head, who, however, paid no heed to them. Meanwhile, several men were pegging away at both Cox and Bryson, appealing wildly to them to desist from their terribly work, but were all shoved aside and the firing continued. Bryson was finally shot in the breast and fell, mortally wounded, upon one of the benches, but was sufficiently conscious to raise himself and fire a parting shot at his opponent, who fell dead without speaking a word. DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 26. — Fifteen years ago Geo. Hollenbeck and William Stratton quarreled in Palmyra, New York. Yesterday they met near Carrizo Pass and determined to settle the old feud. They went into a darkened room and fought a duel. Stratton fired four times. Hollenbeck fired, killing Stratton instantly. Hollenbeck was quiet and deluded his antagonist, who thought he had caught him in the wrong corner. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26. — The Railroad Commission met to-day. Cone introduced a resolution that the maximum rates for passengers on all the railroads in the State shall be four cents per mile; the distance to be estimated at the nearest calculation of the whole number of miles, and the charges to be estimated at the nearest multiple of five cents. No action was taken, but the question will probably come up at the next meeting. NEW COMERSTOWN (O.), Sept. 24. — Intelligence has been received from the village of Mount Holly that Stephen Day, aged 70 years, secreted the savings of a lifetime, $13,000, in a tin box in his house.

THE GREAT STORM Of January 12th, 1882, which injured or destroyed scores of Windmills in Los Angeles County proved conclusively that the CALIFORNIA WINDMILL is the only one that can stand, uninjured, a heavy gale. Although some of nearly every other manufacture was destroyed, so far as known every one of the California Mills put up by the undersigned escaped injury. These Mills are so strongly made and so perfectly regulating that, when properly put up, it is almost impossible for a storm to injure them. It is also superior to other Mills in having an ADJUSTABLE STROKE (4 different lengths) in the ease and noiselessness of its work, in the beauty of its design and finish and in the marvelously low rises at which it is sold. I will furnish these Mills with Pumps and Tanks, and set them up in complete funding order at the lowest possible rates. For further particulars call upon or address N. H. SMITH, Anaheim, Cal.
