AMENDMENTS LOSE It is gratifying to note that the so-called machine amendments were snowed under at the election on the 3d. Official figures of the vote will probably not be available for some days, but returns so far received indicate the defeat of every objectionable amendment on the ticket. The primary-law amendment is the one bright spot among them, and is carried by an overwhelming vote. More than 200,000 votes have already been tallied for it by the secretary of state, with probably 50,000 recorded against it. The legislature, if it obey the mandate of the people, will at its next session enact a primary law. With an adequate primary law many of the political abuses under which the state is suffering will be eliminated. As however the present legislature is under control of the railroad, doubt is expressed that a primary law without a joker will be enacted into law. Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 1, separating state from local taxation, was buried as were also the bills referring to public schools, THE SAN FRANCISCO SEVEN Relative to the two San Francisco seawall bills, both of which were feated, there appears to be something good to say concerning according to post-election reports from San Francisco, because the chamber of commerce city fighting the one, and the owners' association of the other, voters of the south had option but to vote against the San Francisco letter to the says the receipts of the harbor mission were to have liquid $1,500,000 seawall bill, and the payers would not be called to pay a cent of the indebted What, then, becomes of the act of the ship-owners association the harbor receipts of the San Francisco are not now ent to pay off its accruing interest, and that to increase the would be merely adding to dens of the people? The Infinite sin bill, carrying a million would, of course, come out pockets of the people. One thing connected with the wall business is this: The of the state are afraid of demur to voting millions upions of dollars to be squandered on it merely because a politic chine requests it. San Francisco seawall reeks with political tension. Here thousands of down politicians, from all parts of the state, but most of them sam of city politics, find refusing finding quarters and employing the expense of the state. Ed the foundation of Ruef's many of the political abuses under which the state is suffering will be eliminated. As however the present legislature is under control of the railroad, doubt is expressed that a primary law without a joker will be enacted into law. Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 1, separating state from local taxation, was buried as were also the bills referring to public schools, and increasing salaries of state officials and legislators. The two San Francisco seawall bond bills were defeated, and the state capital removal bill met with an avalanche of popular disfavor. Here we have eight of the worst amendments on the ballot defeated. The bill cutting down expenses of legislature employees is carried, as is also that extending the governor's time for signing bills. The vote on the other bills is close. The county hospital bonds were lost. Altogether it was a good day's work, and it will probably be a long time before the railroad push shall dare to submit to the people such an infamous lot of proposed amendments as met a deserved rebuke at last week's election. THAT CAPITAL-REMOVAL CIRCULAR The result of the vote upon constitutional amendments, in which senate amendment No. 1 was overwhelmingly defeated, shows the utter falsity of the circular issued from Berkeley asking voters to support the capital-removal bill "because the railroads would pay all costs" incident thereto. We doubt if ever in the history of the state a circular more grossly insulting the intelligence of voters was presented to their consideration. Taxpayers were advised the removal of the capital would cost them nothing, because Senate Amendment No. 1, separating state from local taxation, would be carried at the polls, and thus the cost would be placed upon the great corporations. But voters refused to be hoodwinked by this transparent trick, and both projects were overwhelmingly defeated. The circular AN EMETIC The Riverside Enterprise in with charming naivete, that dillo, being merely human, w little appreciation for what w Orange county "did for him that he will be slow to res petitions from this county as assistance from him. Let the prise possess its soul in p Estudillo has not been over with petitions from republicans county who did things to him we think he will be. The Em has been regarded as Es mouthpiece during the campaign if it speaks by the card in stance, it merely confirms rep in this county who fought the polls, that he is a che narrow-minded creature of th If these republicans want a from the senator of this district is doubtful, they will not go dillo, but to his master the push, which long since coll as one of their flock. The is over, and republicans here posed to accept the result, it is for their stomachs, but outgivings as the Riverside gence of voters was presented to their consideration. Taxpayers were advised the removal of the capital would cost them nothing, because Senate Amendment No. 1, separating state from local taxation, would be carried at the polls, and thus the cost would be placed upon the great corporations. But voters refused to be hoodwinked by this transparent trick, and both projects were overwhelmingly defeated. The circular said nothing of the $12,000,000 of property owned by the state at Sacramento, nothing of the $350,000 expended the past two years in repairs and improvements to the capital building, nothing about the tens of millions which capital removal would entail. Moreover, the projected removal of the state capital from Sacramento was merely an attempt on the part of the railroad to punish that county for refusing to support one of its candidates at the state election two years ago. The people of California are wise to the machinations of political corruptionists, and to their honor be it said defeated these amendments, as well as all other iniquitous schemes submitted to them at the recent election. The primary election amendment seems to have been the only amendment which carried at the polls. The circular in question purported to emanate from the Berkeley chamber of commerce. If this be really the case, that organization must necessarily have fallen in the esteem of voters and taxpayers throughout California. Three carloads of canned goods were shipped from this city the past week. Now that Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 1 is relegated limbo of things forgotten, the tension of bonding the county thing or that may be taken again. Not that there is any of carrying them, but merely centuate the fact that before feat of this amendment, bonds was impossible. To give munity to railroads and other service corporations from for bonds of a public character quite sufficient to put them upon any amendment Prof. might propose. Anybody say State capital removal also into the ground. Mr. Estudillo he voted in favor of the bill reference to a "popular demand the part of the people for upon it. By this time he had less heard of what the people of this villainous railroad Estudillo makes his escape the chicken-hawk, which, its tail feathers, dodges the farmer's gun. Otro valecito. FRANCISCO SEAWALL MORE NONSENSE A press dispatch from Sacramento brings this interesting bit of political gossip: "An interesting sequel is promised to the effort recently made by the citizens of Berkeley to carry the constitutional amendment providing for Sacramento, which was defeated at last Tuesday's election by a vote that remained some time in doubt. Assemblyman Grove L. Johnson is to introduce a bill providing for submission to the people a measure providing for the removal of the state university from Berkeley to Sacramento. Real estate dealers are talking of a free site and the cost of the futile fight just made by the people of Berkeley is likely to be increased by the expenses of another campaign to retain the university." Evidently the question of who pays the bills does not suggest itself to the good people of either one of these counties—and that, in the last analysis, is the determining factor. The removal of the state capital would have been folly; the removal of the university would be equally wrong. Let us have done with this political short-sightedness. TARIFF REVISION Mr. Chapman Goes to Washington With Citrus Committee Representatives of the citrus fruit industry of California will leave Los Angeles next Friday for Washington, to take up the fight to maintain the tariff on oranges and to have it raised on lemons. Mr. Chapman Goes to Washington With Citrus Committee Representatives of the citrus fruit industry of California will leave Los Angeles next Friday for Washington, to take up the fight to maintain the tariff on oranges and to have it raised on lemons. Those representatives were named at a meeting of the executive committee of the citrus protective league. They are B. A. Woodford, manager of the California fruit growers' exchange; C. C. Teague of Santa Paula, one of the chief lemon growers of the state; C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, A. F. Call of Corona and A. G. Kendall, secretary of the citrus protective league. On Wednesday of next week this committee will appear before the ways and means committee of the lower house of congress to present the cause of the citrus fruit growers in the matter of tariff revision. There is at present a tariff of 1 cent a pound on all citrus fruits, oranges and lemons alike. This is all that is asked on oranges, as it gives California orange growers sufficient protection to sell their fruit at a profit under fair conditions, but is not considered enough on lemons. The ways and means committee will be asked to raise it to 1½ cents on that fruit. BLOW-OUT SPOUTS OIL Presence of Oil Beneath Newport Mesa Demonstrated—What Other Wells Are Doing At 2 o'clock Thursday morning the Balboa oil company, drilling on the bluffs back of Newport Beach, struck a gas pocket at 2650 feet and a blowout followed that sent water oil, sand and stones high over the top of the derrick. A second followed about 7 o'clock. The presence of oil in unknown quantities was demonstrated. The value of the find remains to be seen. So far it is too soon to say. The drill has only penetrated the that Senate Constitutional Act No. 1 is relegated to the things forgotten, the questioning the county for this that may be taken up that there is any chance of them, but merely to accuse fact that before the deeds amendment, voting of impossible. To grant imminent railroads and other public corporations from taxation of a public character, was ancient to put the kibosh amendment Prof. Plehn rose. Anybody say bonds? capital removal also ran—found. Mr. Estudillo said in favor of the bill in defending a "popular demand" on the people for a vote by this time he has doubted what the people think about the illainous railroad measure. It makes his escape, like men-hawk, which, shedding others, dodges the aim of Mr.'s gun. Otro tiempo, Balboa oil company, drilling on the bluffs back of Newport Beach, struck a gas pocket at 2650 feet and a blow-out followed that sent water oil, sand and stones high over the top of the derrick. A second followed about 7 o'clock. The presence of oil in unknown quantities was demonstrated. The value of the find remains to be seen. So far it is too soon to say. The drill has only penetrated the petroleum stratum, if it has entered it at all and not merely opened a pocket. The water is filled with oil. The find is at the level where the Newport Bay oil company, three-quarters of a mile to the south, finished in a body of oil, the extent of which is a matter of speculation. The petroleum signs have been strong since passing the 2600-mark, gas having been encountered and increasing until the first blow-out came. Above that point no oil sign worthy of mention was encountered. The well was started with sixteen inch stove pipe casing. The ten-inch was carried to 1500 feet and eight and one-half inch is being used at present depth. Water has been shut off without difficulty. The Newport Bay oil company is down 3452 and will be sunk to 4000 feet to test thoroughly the territory. It is close to the No. 1. It went right through the formation in which the other was stopped. With the knowledge gained there has been little drilling difficulty. The company has spent probably about $60,000 on its two holes.
