buying and selling as two separate ac-
ions, when really thew constitute but ono.
The terms are simply terms of coavs.
nience used to designate a certain stage
in the processes of trade. They desig-
nate the money stage in trade, the period
when one has parted with product bnt
has not yet received another product. but
instead the representative of the other
product, money. OF course mob ody over
stops at that stage of the game, but at
his convenience the recipient of the
money converts it into the product it
stands for. Nobody takes money for its
own sake, but for what it will fetch IN
the market. So when the party who has
parted with property for money takes
the latter and gets other property with
il he has traded Just as effectively as
though he had taken this other property
at first and had seen no money Whatever.
The latter plays but the part of coun-
ter in the transaction. Bsing sort of
order on the markets. it enables the
taker OF it to exercise a vida choice in
what he shall select to compensate him
for the property he has parted with.
When he makes that selection the trade
is complete. Hence 1t is a logical
absurd,ty to say that people buy more
than they sell. or vice versa.

self-cure. or of defending the city against
the anarchists II helps to create. Our
city government is weak. 1t has no
unity of organization. 1t Is without
power: II there is any power it is out
side of any legal government and rest
in party organization. Every man in
our city govern ent is weakened and
handicapped by the trading and self
seeking now an esse entail factor in office
holding.
The present primary and convention
system is the tool of those driven by am
public expense.
IL is not popular government. 1t is
politicians government. Persons select
US to BIZ serveo. We do not select public
officers in the true sense. The best we
can say OF our present politics is that
forced on the politicians and that where
partisanship is not too strong and party
majorities too large we may select be-
tween one or two self-seeking officially
nominated politicians.
In local government, where De Tocque-
Vile praised us recent impartial observers
condemn. The condition of local govern
ment needs correction.
There is not a wcll-governed city in the
United States.
Municipal governme in America is a
failure.
If this condition is due to moral in
capacity foi self-government in modern
Americans the days of free institutions
are over.
If it is due to an unavoidable political
system totally unsuited to our recently
developed urban population then a change
OF system may moan salvation.
A summary of the present situation as
plan and condition is about as follows {:
Mayor elected; powers, veto on legisla-
ton overcome by two-thirds vote; ap-
pointment OF one or two minor officers
and sometimes of commissioners.
Has no executive power; no power of
removal from Office for corruption or in
capacity; no power to unity or harmonic
an administration; no power to make
different departments work together and
consequently no power TO make IN econ
omical and efficient government.
The mayor has not this power Neither
has any body else.
head of the city government, yet has no
real executive power. He can hinder or
prevent legislation. Sometimes has votes
on com missions. His position in gen.
eral way is that of scold.
The legislative power is generally con-
fined to a council or legislative body.
This is, however, frequently modified by
more or less legislative action of various
councils.
The real executive in law is infinitely
subdivided among areat mum Der of cleo
tive officers and great mum Der of COM
missioners and officers sometimes APP
pointed by the council. sometimes by the
mayor and som etimes by the governor OF
the state.
The whole scheme is a hopeless hodge,
podge without head, tail or RESPONSE
bility.
The officers and men IN orr city gov
ernments are really not the ones to
blame. The defect is the system. With
the best men, under such a system. a
united and efficient government is not
possible. We must change the system OF
city government in America.
1t IL proper to say that the present city
council OF Los Angeles contains a num-
Der of very conscientious ana capable
men.

A TALE OF ALEXANDRA
BY BoABoIL

In last Sundays issue of your paper
the writer said somewhat in regard to the
San Gabriel country east of the city. At
the time the writer wondered whether he
had overdrawn the picture, fearing that
personal enthusiasm might have some-
what clouded Judgment. Happily for a
tender conscience, some friends OF the
writer visited ALEXANDRA and the va lley
turing the week, and assnie the writer
that they could only exclaim with the
queen of Sheba that the half had not
been told" Very much has been and is
being written about the rem ark able de-
velopment of Southern California, and
throughout it all there runs a sugges-
ton of surprise. To one who has seen
peoples battling against nature, struggl.
ing with for n ida BILE obstacles which bal
ance advantages-each advantage almost
offset as it Wore by some attendant disad-
vantage, and yet through all, building up
states and cities-it is only surprising
that when a land has been found-found
and proven-which offers everything
which can make mans life happiness;
climate OF which the only trouble is
that it is so good that when the truth is
told the teller seems to be lying; with
soil that is generous beyond measure ;the
mountains on one side, the sea on the
other. and this land being not little
corner or pocket tucked away in an out
of the way place, but a wide, broad land,
within the borders of which half dozen
European states could be placed, the sur
prise is that much more has not been ac-
mplished. If there is one portion of
America where capital should be fearless,
where 1t should place its hand in that of
the future with absolute confidence and
an abiding faith, that is our Southern

WIDEN TAIN STREET SOUTH

At Ninth and Tenth streets the three
principal thoroughfares of Los Angeles
meet and continue to and far beyond the
city limits as one street. In the present
business center Main AMI Spring streets
and Broadway have about all they can do
to comfortably accommodate their large
business. The certain growth of the city
will require larger business area, and
this in the nature of tt e case must 60
mainly southwark. When solid business
blocks extend to the meeting of our three
great streets their extension by Main
street will be totally inadequate to serv G
them or the interests of the city. Main
street should be wldsned to 100 feet from
Ninth street south to the city limits, and
by the supervisors far beyond. Main
street below Ninth and Tenth streets is
the shortest line into the city center from
any point it touches. In this respect it is
quits different from all the streets to the
west OF it. These run at an angle away
from the city center and not toward it.
For instance at Jefferson street Grand av.
enue is next to Main, while at Second it
is five blocks to the west. Broadway is
curved into Main at Tenth street; the
other streets between Grand avenue and
Main run out before reaching Jefferson.
No modern American city Is so devoid
of any plan in its streets as is Los Ange-
les. The city In this particular is like
Topsy, it Just naturally growed. Every
property owner or real estate Spectator
has laid out streets to suit himself.
Streets run every which way. Some are
numbered and some are not, some 60
short distance and stop fore yer, and some
exist in scattered fragments without con
nection, like portions Of Flower street.
This lack of plan and lack of foresight
can never be fully cured. This ono point
of providing an adequate entrance to the
city from the south can be cured by
widening Main street south of Ninth. It
can never be done cheaper than now and
now is the time to 90 il. There is no
other improvement of equal importance
to be done today. Had there been an in
telligent foresight ana plan of streets in
Los Angeles there never would have been
the present confusion of direction at the
western city limits. nor would the hill
district be dlsfgured and burdened by the
cuts, fills and grades that now nan dicap
its progress. Streets on contour lines
would have held that section as the per-
manent high grade residence section, with
business thoioughfares following its val
lev lines. The hill section with it's beau
tiful views and fine air will always be
popular in spite of Its vandal street plan.
The mistakes made should now be recti-
fed as far as possible. No one act on this
line is of clearer need or of greater advan-
tage than widening Main street below
Ninth.
