Points From the Secretary Of ARrIcui-
lures Report.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 28.-The annual
report Of the secretary OF agriculture is
particularly interesting because OF its
reference to current troubles with for
eign governments over the importation
of American products. He reviews the
subject of foreign markets and gives fig.
urea OF our agricultural exports, es.
pecially those to Great Britain. That
country paid during the year 1898 for
American breadstuffs. provisions, cotton
and tobacco, over 1924 900. 900.
OF dressed beef, Great Britain took
from us during the fret six months of
the year 1894, $4,000, 600 worth. Aus.
trala is our chief competitor for the
trade.
Referring to tho frequent allegations
on the part OF the European govern
ments that live animals from the
United States are diseased, the escre.
tary expresses the opinion that these
allegations are sometimes based on fear
OF injection, but are at other times
made for economic reasons. He suggests
that If certain European nations con-
tinue to ineist on mici oscopical exami-
nations OF our pork and veterinary in
spection OF our beef with governmental
certifcation to each, the United States
government might we'll Insist upon such
inspection and certitication by such
foreign governments Of all importations
therefrom. whether edible or beverages
intended for human consum ption.

MELSTED'S OPINION.

A. Melsted. the we'll known restaurant
man on West Second street, comes In
contact with more tramps than any
other person in town. He expresses
his views upon the subject - follows:
There is NO place in the country that
IL visited BY a. many tramps Is Los An
geles. In winter they leave the eastern
snow and slsst. jump brakebeam and
head for the land OF perpetual sunshine.
As soon a. they get into the city they
pick headquarters, divide into squads
and start out on begging tour. Every
few days cluster of them may be seen
not far from my place, while a commit
tee OF one will brace me for q meal for
the crowd. Unfortunately, l cannot re.
fuse, and % q result my house is known
to all the vagrant train. OF course,
while in town these came fellows keep
coming back to my place TO be fed, and
when patience ceases to be virtue l
shut down on them.
An amusing incident happened few
months ago whioh, must confess. an
gered me. 1t was during the Coxey
army excitement. Ono day couple OF
tramps doubled back for another meal
and told them that had become tired
OF feeding them but it they wanted en-
ployment l would put them to work.
Contrary to my expectations. they ac-
quiesced In my proposition and l gave
one charge OF the silver and the other
placed at washing dishes. Before the
week was out one OF them came for his
money and paid him without asking q
question. In few moments the other
fellow turned up at the counter and
asked to be paid. became curious and
asked him why he was leaving. He took
my breath away by explaining that the
tramps' army was leaving town and that
he had to 90 with them. l gave him his
money and came to the conclusion that
genuine tramp wouldn't work, and l
have chung to that belief ever since.
l am firm in the belief that Los Ange.
les will be infested with tramps this
winter, and 1t is a hard matter to tell
what to do with them. The suggestion
to put them to work upon public i'm
provements, to be allowed . per diem
salary, is q good one. 1t will then be.
come the duty of the police to move out
of town those who will not work. 1t is
q very easy matter to make Los Angeles
too hot for the idler.

II. w. CHASE'S OPINIONS.

II. W. Chase, the senior proprietor OF
he Nadeau hotel. briefly expressed his
views on the tramp problem as follows:
have had an unfortunate experience
with this class OF people. am almost
hourly approached by Migrants for as
sistance, but am not millionaire. l
invariably offer to give them work,
either painting or cleaning up around
the hotel. and in seven cases out OF ten
my offer is spurned, and not infrequent-
ly am l laughed at or abused for daring
to offer these fellows employment.
Many of them never ask for employ.
ment and are startled when any one has
the audacity to expect them to toll.
OF course In the grand army of tramps
which yearly frequents Los Angeles
there are many deserving men VINO ar O.
victims of circumstances and would
labor If they had the chance. think it
would be good plan for our
city council to find out what
work is needed by the city at
the present time. and apportion money
enough to pay the expenses. Then later
on in the winter, when Los Angeles 10
overrun with the festive vsgrant, these
fellows can be offered employ msnt at
living wages, and need not suffsr for the
necessaries OF life until something bet
ter turns up.
Los Angeles is in q fair way to become
a great city, and OF course a lot OF i'm
provemsnts in town are contem plated.
BY placing these tramps ct work, the
city can be advanced and the munich.
pality will benefit. by the low price it
will have to pay per diem for the labor
performed.

Correspondence of the HERALD.
PASADENA, Nov. 30. - The usual
hegira of tramps from the north to
the south has set in and this city is
apparently getting it's full share OF
them. We are practically confronted
with the Same condition OF affairs which
existed last year, when the city council
established place where men willing
to work and in need Of food could be
given assistance. The only change lie
that there is an abundance OF work on
all sides now and there seems but little
excuse for men to be idle. What to do
with the fellows is a hard question to
de :de. The usual s or ~ days in the

REV. WILL A. KNIGHTON

Rev. Will A. Knighten, who has
preached the gospel in this city for
many years. said that he had given the
tramp question considerable thought
and expressed himeeli az follows:
firmly believe that the individual citizen
could give considerable assistance tow
ard the betterment OF the condition Of
the tramp. II has been my practice
never to turn the needy from my house.
When an unfortunate member OF hui
manity knocks at my threshold and asks
for suocor. l consider that q poor time
for me to undertake to determine
whether he 10 willing to work or not. 1t
10 the duty OF the city to provide food
and shelter for those within its confines,
and by the city mean its people. re-

took him in. filthy and all though he
was, fed him. and mad him cit BY
fire all day until he was dry,
and the storm had abated. l
consider that as that man turned out OF
my front gate with his hunger appeased
and his apparel dried, he was in bet.
ter condition to look for employ ment
than he was when tirst saw him. 1t
10 the duty OF us all to help the needy
and assi,t them on the road to advance.
ment ~ far as possible.
OF course l realize the fact that the
tramp travel to this city will be very
heavy this winter and some means must
be decided upon to provide them with
the necesearies OF life, at least. Per.
haps free employ ment bureau would
be feasible, managed by q competent
person. having the needs of the men
ct heart, who would find situations for
them. Another plan would be to have
the Associated Charities fit up q home
for them, whore they could receive
shelter and food. The contractors
could then be approached and work Sc
cured for them. and daily compensation
enough secured to pay their expenses.
This will at least keep them in out OF
the wet uE u they can better their con-
dition.
1t 10 needless to say that there is q
percentage OF the tramps that will not
work. These fellows should be treated
"a common criminals and forced out OF
< town. Paul said: He that shall not
work shall not eat," and am firmly OF
the came belief.
Again. it might be possible to place
the tramps at work for the city, which
would be far moro pleasing spectacle
than view OF the chain gang-a relic OF
barbarism. There are many public inn
provements contemplated, and 1t would
be we'll to use the tramps for the work.
There are streets to be graded, hills to
be torn down and parks to be improved,
and 1t would DO nothing more than
proper for the council to plaoo the
tramps on these jobs, aud paying low,
not to say fair, daily wages.

RALPH HOYT'S OPINION

EDITOR HERALD Permit me to state,
through your columns, few facts
brought to mind by the pending agita-
ton Of "the tramp nuisance" which We
nearly always have with US, but NOSE
especially in the winter.
l have little to say, however, con-
cerning the tramp who is sucn from
choice; the fellow who prefers to be q
leech upon society rather than Q worker.
Everyone who needs work and can get
work, but will not accept il when
offered, should be treated az vagrant,
and believe we have laws to meet ali
such cases. But so long as en- ploy ment
can not be had; 80 long as the supply OF
idle men exceeds the number of Jobs
requiring their services by four or five
to one, il is impossible to know how
many persons now idle would, or how
many would not, work ii they had an
opportunity. II all were offered EN-.
ploy ment it would soon become sp.
parent who were the honest work
seekers, and who the "vags," bummers
and scalawags.
New here is plan adopted last sum
msr by Mayor Pingree Of Detroit, Mich.
which proved q great eucceas: In that
city were several thousand idle men,
many OF them with families to support.
IL WAS impossible for them to get em-
ployment and their condition was daily
becoming more desperate. There were
also within the limits of that same city
several Thousand acres OF idle land Gas
70 the case now in Los Angeles), which
the owners thereof had no intention OF
improving. Mayor Pingres took in the
situation and assumed the task OF bring.
ing togetner these two factors of produc
lion, land and labor. He personally
applied to the various owners Of those
vacant lots and acres and obtained per-
mission from many owners for needy
mento 60 on to the ground and plant
and raise crops OF vegeta bles. Parcels
OF land in the city aggregating about
SOO acres we're thus voluntarily thrown
open to the temporary use of man who
wanted and needed employment. 1hs
mayor then announced his resdiuess 70
ceive applications. The result was

cants greatly exceeded the amount OF
available land; but thousand or more
of the First corners" obtained access to
the land free OF rent, worked it. raised
Drops, got all their labor produced, and
thus were enabled to keep the wolf from
their doors for few months, at least.
l would respectfully suggest that q
similar plan for aiding large percent

would prove . blessing to them, and in
directly to the community. In this eli.
mate. whore vegetation grows and
thrives every day in the year, such q
plan ought to be even more successful
than in any eastern city. And surely
the owners of idle ground in this An.
