AN UNJUST AMENDMENT An amendment to the constitution, that would make it possible for cities to consolidate with other cities, and to form city and county governments, is not objectionable, provided it works fairly for all cities, and provided it gives all cities the same chance. But an amendment such as the sixth on the ballot to be voted on next November is unfair, unjust, and should be voted down, because it gives the right of consolidation and of forming a city and county government to two cities alone, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The amendment provides that cities of a population of 350,000 or more shall be privileged to consolidate with other cities and to form city and county governments. It applies to San Francisco and Los Angeles, and to no other city in California, and it is easy to conclude that the proposed amendment was drafted in the interests of these two cities. Such cities as Oakland, San Jose, Stockton, Sacramento and San Diego could not consolidate with other cities, and could not form a city and county government. The proposed constitutional amendment is a vicious piece of special legislation and every fair-minded citizen should vote against it. There is grave danger that if the constitutional amendment provides for the consolidation of cities, is adopted, the rest of the state will fall under the domination of the combined IN AND ABOUT THE CITY Tom Hollingsworth was a visitor in the Angel city Sunday.

Such cities as Oakland, San Jose, Stockton, Sacramento and San Diego could not consolidate with other cities, and could not form a city and county government. The proposed constitutional amendment is a vicious piece of special legislation and every fair-minded citizen should vote against it. There is grave danger that if the constitutional amendment that provides for the consolidation of cities, is adopted, the rest of the state will fall under the domination of the combined cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. The pair of them would have 38 out of 80 members of the assembly, and 19 out of 40 state senators, and the needed votes could be easily picked up by trades, so that the two big cities would have control of the legislature. The interior of the state would be at their mercy. New York state's experience teaches us what happens in such a case. Since the formation of "Greater New York," "Tammany Hall" has ruled the rest of the state. The corrupt politicians of the metropolis have come to exercise dominion over the entire commonwealth. San Francisco's political history is such that we have no reason to believe that its politicians would be the kind we want as masters. The producers and shippers of California should unite against the adoption of the proposed constitutional amendment that permits San Francisco to annex its neighbors. It is the sixth on the ballot to be voted on next November. It is to the interest of the producer and shipper that the eastern shore of San Francisco bay be properly developed; that Oakland and Richmond be permitted to construct the system of docks and wharves on which they are now spending millions of dollars. The interior of the state wants this competing system. It wants a water-front independent from that of San Francisco, so that it may profit from lower rates and better service. San Francisco will not permit the development of the eastern shore, if it annexes it. It will stifle the work already begun, to the great hurt of the rest of California. Vote against the amendment. STANTON NEW STATE CHAIRMAN Phillip A. Stanton, former speaker of the California assembly is the selection of the Republican State Central Committee for appointment as National committeeman for California. The state committee, in session at San Francisco Saturday, unanimously declared for Stanton and National Committeeman Samuel Perkins of Wash- to Alamitos to dispose of a consignment of farm machinery. Geo. H. Moebius writes from Sawtelle that he has recently moved to that place, the Brent ranch near Corona, of which he has been foreman for some months past, having been sold. The state fish car passed through Anaheim Monday afternoon bearing a large quantity of trout to be placed in Orange county streams. They will be planted in Santiago, Trabuca and San Juan creeks.

You cannot afford to miss it. Tickets at Mission candy store on and after October 19. Chas. E. Landell, formerly a resident of Anaheim and Buena Park, and now of Waterloo, Ill., was in the city one day last week on a brief visit with friends. From here he went to Buena Park, where he was formerly with the condensed milk factory, and later returned to Los Angeles where he and Mrs. Landell are visiting for several days. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Sheldon have arrived from Nebraska and will probably make this city their home.

He will probably purchase property here and locate permanently. Robert C. Robeson, of Ontario, Can., was a visitor in town on Tuesday. Mr. Robeson has located with his wife at Sierra Madre, but is so well pleased with appearances of prosperity in this city that he will seek to make a trade for property here. He was engaged in the grain and milling business in On- STANTON NEW STATE CHAIRMAN Phillip A. Stanton, former speaker of the California assembly is the selection of the Republican State Central Committee for appointment as National committeeman for California. The state committee, in session at San Francisco Saturday, unanimously declared for Stanton and National Committeeman Samuel Perkins of Washington will recommend his appointment to the National committee. Committeeman Perkins came to California several days ago empowered to name the California committeeman to succeed Russ Avery of Los Angeles, who was ousted from the committee because he had affiliated with the Progressive party. Rather than make the selection himself, Perkins conferred with Gustave Brenner, chairman of the State Central Committee, and with S. Fred Hogue, the former Taft state chairman. While Brenner was given the chance to name the committeeman, he decided to put the matter up to the State Central Committee, which decided unanimously. The former speaker, who is a member of the committee, was present at the meeting and in a brief speech declared he would accept the position and take his coat off to work for the Republican cause in California. Chairman Brenner announced the appointment of A. Hochheimer of Willows and of N. A. Ulm of Santa Ana as committeemen at large. Thomas Newman pleaded not guilty in the superior court on Friday to a charge of forging the name of E. Carlson, a tailor who employed him, to a check of $18, and his trial was set for October 17. Attorney Tipton, appointed by the court, will defend him. Robert C. Robeson, of Ontario, Can., was a visitor in town on Tuesday. Mr. Robeson has located with his wife at Sierra Madre, but is so well pleased with appearances of prosperity in this city that he will seek to make a trade for property here. He was engaged in the grain and milling business in Ontario, and is looking for an opening to re-establish himself in that line. P. A. Stanton petitioned the superior court for the probate of the last will and testament of Thomas V. Shearer, deceased, who died at Agency, Iowa, August 19, 1906. A portion of the estate consisting of two lots at Benedict was willed to a brother of deceased, C. H. Shearer, and he sold them to Stanton, who now asks the court to have the will probated. The "Palace Rooms" is the name of a new rooming house which has recently been opened for business by Mrs. E. N. Cook in the second story of the Backs block on North Los Angeles street. The rooms have been fitted up with everything modern, including excellent bath facilities, and are offered to the public at reasonable rates. Mrs. Cook was formerly Miss Emma Guthans, of Fullerton, who gained much popularity in musical circles by a splendid soprano voice and rare musical talent. She has not recently appeared in public, but her many friends will be glad to learn that they will soon have the pleasure of hearing this gifted songstress in a concert program. DRESSMAKING Specialty of children's clothes. 318 N. Hedwig, Anaheim. 10-17-5 Miss Alice Dunn, the 8-year-old girl who was hurt several weeks ago in the accident in which her father was killed by a train running into their buggy, has somewhat recovered and was last week taken to Redlands. Robert Dunn, her uncle, drove down in an automobile on Friday and upon his return, took her with him to his home in Redlands. Word comes this week that the little girl stood the trip nicely and is getting along splendidly. Captain Williams is looking forward with anticipation of pleasure to attending the National G. A. R. encampment at Gettysberg next year. He will be accompanied by Comrades Donahoe and Troutman, and the three will adequately represent this city. Captain Williams has attended many G. A. R. encampments, but says the Los Angeles meeting some weeks ago beat them all. Marching upon flowers strewn in streets got to the captain's heart. While marching to martial music of the band, he felt like a kid of 21. After it was over he was again a kid of 70. W. G. Osborne, master mechanic doing the night shift at the sugar factory, suffered a painful injury Friday night about 8 o'clock while on duty at the mill. A 1,500 pound bucket used in dumping rock into the lime kiln failed to work properly, and Mr. Osborne undertook to locate the trouble and in doing so, placed himself in such a position that when the bucket worked loose it struck him, breaking his left leg and mashing his foot to some extent. He was brought to town and the wound dressed. Mr. Osborne looks at the matter philosophically, takes his confinement easily, and expects soon to be about again.
