THE WATER QUESTION

The people of Los Angeles will make a
crave mistake. and a mistake that will
follow them with hurtful consequences
all their lives IL they do not provide for
municipal ownership of the public water
supply. Water is one of the necessities
of existence which must be in practi
cally unlimited obtainable quantity, be-
cause prodigal use of it is necessary to
cleanliness. which means good health.
The experience of municipalities every
where is that when a private corpora
tribution of water the percentage of
sickness that is superinduced by dis
ease germs is greater than when the
people in their corporate capacity fur
nish them. The care of reservoirs and
the mechanical appliances of water
plant is no small matter; besides, the
cost of frequent careful inspection is
considerable, and the closer the atten-
ton to the operation of the distribut-
ing work, the greater are the operating
expenses and consequently the smaller
are the final profits.
Unless great care is taken. not only of
the plant proper, but of the surround
ings of the source of the supply, what
should be wholesome water is pretty
sure to be a sickness breeding poison,
o,d riroa q privot "a corpora flor, 1ooxS for
larger profits rather than the health OF
the people, it follows that the people
would have more and better reasons
for feeling secure against an impure
supply if they were experimenting it
themselves through their municipal
government than if it were being fur
nished as an exacting business enter
prise, or a speculative venture. This
view is being taken pretty generally by
cities and towns, and as fast as fran
chises expire the people are taking pos
session of the plants and making them
public property.
No doubt the people of Los Angeles
will have all these things in mind when
they come to decide whether or not
they will continue the present system
of private ownership of their water sup
ply and the Herald is constrained to be-
lieve that with perhaps a few excep-
tons they will vote for municipal own
ership and management Meanwhile
the Herald will exert it's influence to
the utmost in the direction of securing
an abundant supply of pure water I'm.
der the supervision of the people them
selves. 1t is to be hoped that every
citizen will feel it incumbent upon him
to confer with his neighbor on this i'm
portant question that it may be KEEP,
a live and pressing issue until the mat
ter is settled.

greenbacks because they are an ever
ury, they are no more of menace than
are the treasury notes that were issued
to pay for silver under the silver pur.
chase act, or any other demand obliga-
ton Of the government. There is moth
ing in law, and there was nothing in GUS
tom until Harrison's administration,
that made the greenbacks or treasury
notes redeemable exclusively in gold.
They, as well as all other obligations of
the government, are as legally payable
is silver as in gold but the influence of
exchange has been strong enough in the
last six or seven years to override a
clearly defined principle Of government
and make gold the only money of re-
demption. 1t is ruling of the treasury
and not an act of congress that makes
it so, but there will be such an act by
congress before McKinley's term of
Office expires, unless the people do a
good deal of loud talking meanwhile.
The fact of the matter is, the PROPOSE
ton to retire the greenbacks is the
wedge that is to split silver off the none
tary system of the country, except as
token money, then have the treasury
notes redeemed in gold and Cancelled and
turn the work of creating money over to
the national banks without any safe
guards, except their high sense of honor
and business integrity. leaving the gov
eminent to create no form of money ex-
cept gold coins and silver token coins.
This is supposed to be a government of
the people. for the people, and by the
people, and if that be true it behooves
the people to protest vigorously against
the scheme to transfer the function of
the government in the matter of Great
ing a circulating money medium for the
people from the government to COM
bination of banks, even if they are man
aged by Christian gentlemen"

That the Spanish minister Of marine
has been getting the navy well in hand
for a month or more there is no doubt
nor is there any doubt that the plan

armies would have every advantage at
the beginning. but it would not be long
before there would be five Yankee"

last long, nor would any Spanish soldiers
return to their own country other than
as paroled prisoners of war. Neverthe-
less, as the case now stands little brush

AS TO SPAIN

Although Spain makes haste to deny
the report that she is preparing to make
an armed conflict with the United States,
the fact remains that the relations be-
tween the two countries have been very
much strained for more than year. and
that it would require but little to start
hostilities. 1t is no use trying to deny
the fact that public sentiment and SYM
pathy in this country is so pronounced
for the Cubans that it is quite impossible
for the government to prevent the sail
ing away of vessels laden with men and
munitions of war for the insurgents. In
fact, it may be said that the United
States are the revolutionists' base of
supplies and recruiting headquarters
Naturally, such open hostility to SPANS
endeavor to crush the rebellion would
keep the Madrid government in state
of mind bordering on frenzy.
Then, again, when it becomes apparent
to Spain that the Cuban revolution can
not be put down. her pride would sug-
gest that war with the United States
would furnish most excellent excuse to
abandon the island. And it all looks very
much as If events were tending in that
direction quite fast enough to make the
situation uncomfortable. The people in
the towns and cities of Spain appear to
be encouraged by those in authority to
the United States. and in many places

LET THE PEOPLE PROTEST

The proposed organized movement to
influence congress to retire the green
backs is nothing more or less than a
scheme to organize a powerful conspir-
acy against the rights and liberties of
the entire producing class. The plan APP
pears to be to do the dastardly act under
the guise of a bill to revise the cur
rency," but there should be too much
Intelligence among the agricultural and
wage classes to be thus hoodwinked.
The excuse that will be given for want
ing to commit the villainous act is sure
to be that so long as the greenbacks are
in circulation the treasury will be SUBJ
ject to raids to secure it's gold, thus
making 1t necessary to sell bonds from
time to time to replenish the stock of
yellow metal. but the underlying pur-
pose is to confer the right of issuing and
controlling the country's circulating
paper money upon the national banks.
The assertion that it is necessary to
retire the greenbacks to protect the
treasury is false altogether. There is not
a form of government Indebtedness that
is not payable in gold under the ruling
of the treasury. and retiring the green
backs would merely shorten the end
less chain" which Cleveland says is the
worst of the evils of our financial system.
The shrinkage in the volume of the coun-
try's money which retiring the green
backs would cause, the national banks
propose to make good by increasing their
own note issues but that would be put
ting altogether too much power in the
hands of private corporations; besides
It is the function of the government and
not of the individual to create money
No doubt it would be an exhibition of
good business sense If congress would
confer the right upon national banks to
issue notes of the par value of the bonds
deposited for their security for the gov
eminent is not supposed to believe it's
bonds could be at discount, and hence
they ought to be considered ample Sc
curity up to their face value. And,
again. if banks were required to issue
and maintain note circulation equal to
their capital stock. the creation of the
bulk of the country's paper money could
be lodged in their hands. for they then
could not cause plethoras and string
encies. 1t would be too expensive to
lock UP their notes, and too inconvenient
to shift their share capital up and
down. So, there could be no valid OBJ
lection raised against making the ma
tional banks the source of the supply of
very large percentage of the countrys
paper currency. if we are to maintain
the national bank system, but the right
to issue notes equal to only small per-
centage of their capital and to main
tain machinery that would enable them
to increase or decrease the circulating
volume should be denied and guarded
against. The evil of our national bank
system is not in its function as a note
isster. but in its power to say how much
bank note money commerce shall have
/. to transact its business. 1t would be a
perfectly easy matter to regulate all
that. but that is exactly what the banks
Z ~ not want regulated.
