TAe Echo OF Our Guns

| The people of Los Angeles county are
! again ugitnting the quest on OF reducing
the expense OF running their county gov
eminent. Formerly these fits OF econ.
| omy occurred only once each year, but
under the new tax law they now are ex-
| hibited semi-annuallv. There is in the
| government of Los Angeles county, as
| we'll as IN our own, large opportunity
| tor some person to distinguish himself
| as a reformer. Tho Herald has under
taken the herculean job, aud II its
effort be not spasmodic one II may, by
periinacious persistence, arouse the peo-
pie 10 the p int of governing themselves
instead of allowing the politician to rule
| over them. 1t has been shown by facts
and figures that the people OF Los An
geles county are paying twice as much
money TO run thlcr county government as
the people of Maine are paying to run
their state government. As the assessed
valuation of Maine is four times and the
population six times as great as those
Of Los Angeles county, ii doss not ap-
pear that there is a reasonable or justi6-
able excuse for the governmental expense
OF the county being two-fold greater than
those of the state oi Maine. The Los
Angeles county government is costing
the taxpayers So 600, 600 annually. Bet
ter, larger and mole eff slant county gov
e!nments are being conducted for less
than half that sum, and ii the peoI ! , OF
that county wuul3 eliminate politics
from local affairs and run government
OF themselves and for themselves instead
of permitting the politicians TO govern
them, they could retain IN their pockets
a million dollars every year that tther-
wise must be paid to support the men
who make private snap of pubic
office. There is sore need OF such 4 re-
form in every county in the state, and AS
our state laws arc responsible for much
OF the expense OF running our county gov

possible much OF the reform that is
needed. As that body is elected and run
on purely polit cal lines it is not pro5a-
BILE that relief from excessive taxation
will be afforded soon, for no matter how
loudly the people may demand retrench-
ment and reform they usually follow
their politica prejudices when casting
their ballots, and as result the rule of
the politician is perpetuated. Ontario

HELP OR SHUT UP

Tbs fact that other cities are actively
competing with San Francisco for the
national Republican convention affords
the best of reasons for the west and par
tic ularly California. redoublins its efforts
in San Francisco's behalf. The Golden
Gate city has undoubtedly as good show
in the contest at tnls date as any other
city. The thing to be chiefly feared n ow
is not the present predominance of some
other place in the minds of the national
committeeman, but coalition OF those ele-
ments which for personal or political
reasons are against San Francisco mors
than they are In favor of any particular
city east. The committee appointed in
San Francisco to lay the claims of Cali
fornia before the national Repu olican
committee in Washington will very likely
be on the alert for com bina.ions of the
kind noted.
The gentlemen who go to Washington
do so as the representatives of California,
not of a party, a faction or section, but
Of tho whole state, in an honest endeavor
to accomplish a result that would be of
ineslimable value to the entire common
wealth. Every individual and newspaper
in California protesting loyalty to the IN
terests of the state should sustain the
committee. Those who Will not help
should at least shut up.

no wHoM 1T MAY CONCERN,

I owe the RECORD an explanation
concerning the article / had published
week before last and was contradicted
by MFR. Halter last week. It was
through Mr.. HIS own words that we
put the piece in print, as he told US to
have no uneasiness about the boys well
fare, as he had been provided for, and,
no doubt, vas sent off to save ''others,"
and he vas being boarded in the coun.
try somewhere, with a fat pocketbook.
This he said, was the opinion Of every.
body. Also he intimated who "others"
were, having gone into the shop Of one
and twitted him Of loosing 500 by the
disappearance.
AS to the story told the ticket agent
and the go called confession, 1 will say
here. I wish to cast no reflections on
MI. Halter, but he was mistaken. as I
have q full account of that and any one
wishing to learn same can do so by CALI
ing on me. The agent emphatically
denies any confession Of guilt being
made. b. simply said there was q big
scrape on hand in PENIS Grove. He
and others having gotten too much
aboard that night were blamed for it,
and he thought 1t best to skin out.
Any one doubling this u learn its
truthfulness from the agent. Mi. H.
by changing n word, altered the sense
of the whole. 1 don't write this to in.
fuence any one into believing B. limo
cent. He may be guilty as Mr.. H. said.
The men run two boats across and.
no doubt, some u told B. that this
would Inconvenience no one, Or why
vas money and apology left for boat,
also q nete where to find 1t tied secure

course and lost no work. He owned to
