EDITORS HERALD:-I have been re-
quested by some of my fellow employees
to ask you to explain to the public that
although we belong to what is known
as the unemployed citizens OF Los Ange-
les, yet we think we have been imposed
on in more than one instance.
The last, but not the least, was out at
Elyaian park. We were told by the
man out there that we must be on the
ground, with tools, ready to commence
at exactly z 80 q. M, whereas all other
crews did not commence till a. m. 1t
will be remembered that Elysian park
is all of four miles from almost any part
OF the city. with no transportation facil-
tiles except walking, with not even
sidewalks to travel on; yet we are told
this by this man, to whom we object be-
cause he wears a policeman's star, Civ
ing the public at large the impression
tina. we are the chain gang. AS many
people visit the park in carriages, we
are injured in that anyone seeing US
working under the aforesaid policeman
as foreman, with his big star in plain
view, would refuse to give Us work any
where else. thinking we are bad charac-
ters.
Hoping you will give us space, we re-
main yours sincerely, WoRKMEN.

officers elected: President, Alvin Tubbs;

1.-THE HERALD under this heading prints COM
munications, bat does not assume RESPONSE
bility for the sentiments expressed.l


EDITORS HERALD 81 would like to
call the attention of your readers to
what seems to me to be sensible tax
law. 1t is as follows:
First-It is my opinion that there
should be no income tax. because it
would dishearten the millionaire and he
would not be so likely to strive and
build up the country. 1t is the million
aire and the workingman (not the work
ingman alone) who build up the coun-
try. II it wasn't for the millionaire
there would be no enterprise, and If
there wasn't any enterprise there would
be no work. So the motto is, united
we stand, separate US and we fall.
Therefore it would be my suggestion
that we repeal al the present laws and
enact the following:
First--Take the weight of taxation off
the agricultural districts where land has
little or no value irrespective OF i'm
provements, and put it ON towns and
cities, where bare land rises to value
OF millions of dollars per acre.
Second-Dispense with multiplicity
of taxes and greatly reduce its cost.
Third-Don't tax the farmer.
Fourth-Tax all equally. except W hen a
corporation or individual improves the
country. Then to every $1,000 it repre-
sentE give to its credit $50. Yours truly,
T. B. COOPER.

Somewhat EquivocaI.

The unconscious humor of human ma
ture sometimes shows itself in strange
forms. For instance, news dispatch
published the other day in st. Louis
paper ran as follows:
''St. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. 9.-The third
annual session of the Northwest Mis-
souri, Press association ended shortly
after II o'clock this morning, and the
members were driven to State Lunatic
Asylum No. g."
In order that no erroneous impression
might be drawn from its statements the
dispatch went on to explain that the
members of the association went to the
asylum as guests of the superintendent.
Nevertheless the connection of the state
ment that the body had adjourned with
the fact that its members had been
"driven to State Lunatic Asylum No.
2" is humorously but unconsciously
uggestive.-New York Herald.

A Terrible New Rifle.

A European correspondent says that
The chief surgeon Of the Roumanian
army has been making grewsome cKper-
iments with the new Mannlicher rife,
with which the forces are being
equipped. He placed number of human
bodies in rows, like soldiers on the field
of battle. At 600 meters five bodies were
placed half yard behind each other.
A single bullet went through three bod
les in succession. Upon the soft parts
of the bodies the wounds were perhaps
less serious than those inflicted by the
old fashioned rifles, the hole made by
the bullet being smaller and more even,
but ON the whole the injuries are far
more terrible. The range of the new
rifles is about az miles.

ENGLAND'S UNEMPLOYED.
Labor Leaders Say That Not Enough Is Be-
ing Done and Make a Large Proposal.

Labor Leaders Say That Not Enough Is Be-
ing Done and Make a Large Proposal.
Labor leaders are complaining that
the government authorization to the To-
cal authorities to spend money upon re-
lief works for the benefit of the unem-
ployed is not taken advantage of in a
half dozen districts. The result is that
distress is rapidly becoming acute in
most of the large towns, to the great
benefit of the socialist and anarchist
agitators. 1t is difficult to see what
more the government can do, unless it
go in for state socialism on gigantic
scale, for which public opinion is not
ripe.
The latest proposal is that the gov
eminent should guarantee loans for, say,
$3.50, 900, 900 to enable the carrying out
of national system of foreshore recla-
nation all around the coasts. Such
work, wherever undertaken by private
enterprise, has certainly proved profit
able, and it is urged that Holland has
demonstrated its practical and remu-
nerative character as a government en-
terprise.
There is no reason to doubt that in
the London district alone the reclama-
ton of the foreshores of the Thames,
from the metropolis to the sea, is per-
fectly feasible, and would provide work
for thousands for many years, be of i'm
mense public benefit, and yield good
return on the outlay, but the govern
ment naturally hesitates to take the first
step in such vast undertaking. -Lon-
