THE COUNTY BONDS

The history of refunding has been
such, generally speaking, that propo-
sition to refund is supposed to be an offer
to lessen the burden of interest, and
therefore, in accord with economy and
good business mana agement. For this
reason, probably, the proposition to re-
fund the existing bonded indebtedness
of Los Angeles county has attracted
comparatively little attention up to the
present time, and it is fair to presume
that it would be agreed to by large ma
jority.
The disclosures made in the Investor
column of yesterdays Herald, however,
place the plan in a new light, and they
will doubtless cause investigation on the
part of the taxpayers of the county.
If refunding, instead of lessening the
burden of taxation, will increase it to
the amount of over $20000O, then it
would be most unwise to adopt the pro-
posed schedule.
This is the situation: The county
bonds. amounting to $6S0,O0O, at AZ, +
and per cent, are most of them due in
few years. and they may be paid
sooner at the option of the county.
About one-third of the total amount is
due in the year 1910. The proposition is
to refund these bonds at lower rate
of interest, per cent, but in bonds hav-
ing from five to twenty-four years to
run.
The county has such a small amount
of per cent bonds, and the term of the
proposed new bonds is so long, that in
the end it would have to pay very much
more under the new arrangement than
The herald., 1897-11-27

under the present. 1t cannot be as.
sumed that the existing arrangement
imposes undue hardships upon the tax
payers. Why, then, would it not be bet.
ter to pay the debt under 1t than to re.
fund at an extra cost Of over 5000, 900?
Under the present terms, large sun
will have to be provided during sever
years for the extinction Of the present
debt; but this will call. on each tax levy
for only cents on each 800 assessed
valuation, assuming the county's val
uation to be 800, ,ooo, 900 in round figures
Again, why should short time bonds
which the county is amply able to meet
when due. be changed for long time
bonds without any equivalent?
The bonds should be paid as rapidly as
possible, in such a way as to lessen the
interest burden to the greatest extent
permissible.

THE SILVER REPUBLICANS AND
OLD GLORY

The Silver Republicans are to be con-
graduated upon their highly successful
flagraising on Thanksgiving day. Ev-
cry good American citizen is heartily in

the breeze, but the event in the grounds
additional significance.
| In a political sense the banner repre-
sents the 5000 members of the club who
demand the only true bimetallism, the
free and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver at the ratio of sixteen to one
Silver Republicans in the best sense of
the term.
1t was notification to the world that
silver is not dead. And, by the way,
while the banner was being raised here
in Los Angeles, the people of the country
were digesting-or trying to digest-the
assertion of the Lewiston Journal, the
personal organ of Representative Ding
ley, that the congressional election next
year must be fought on the same lines as
,
fallacy," says the Dingley organ, sis
only scorched-not burned"
1t was a notification to the people of
this state, county and city, that the
Silver Republicans are already in the
field to combat political corruption in
high or low places. wherever it may be
found. In taking the field early, the
silver Republicans set a good example
to other organizations that have the true
interests of the people at heart. 1t does
not mean that there should be constant
and tedious political agitation, but that
reformers must maintain an active or
ganization and a watchful eye upon
public affairs if they wish to accom-
plish anything. Spasmodic reform is
sometimes worse than no reform at all.
and it certainly does not produce the
best results.

willing enough to vote more money for
the proper maintenance Of the grammar
schools upon showing that it is needed
for that purpose and will be judiciously
expended. But the same people are not
willing to encourage any further lavish
outlay upon the high school system for
the benefit of the children Of the we'll
to-do and the rich.
The whole system Of imparting a
smattering of knowledge in a multi
plicity of branches to these children is
extravagant in cost and barren of good
results. Neither is it fair that the COM
munity should be called upon to pay
such expenses for the benefit of the
privileged classes, while the children of
the poor are denied the advantage of the
''higher education"
The election will be held on Tuesday,
December Z, less than two weeks hence.
1t is the positive duty of every citizen to
carefully weigh with any advantages
of the proposition it's difficulties and
dangers.

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER ~. 1897.
ALGER CRIES "pECCAvIw

The Associated Press dispatches this
morning confirm the report, printed ex-
clusively in yesterdays Herald, that
Secretary Alger has given orders to pro-
ceed with advertising for bids for the
work on San Pedro harbor.
This order. as the dispatch explains
is irrespective of the opinion asked from
the comptroller of the treasury, as tc
whether there is any fund available
from which money can be used to pay
the expense of advertising. The direc'
tions issued by the secretary contem-
plate the use of as much as may be nee
essary of the remainder of the $4,000
made available by act of congress last
spring for the expenses of the engineers
and other necessary charges.
The situation now looks brighter than
at any time since the secretary of wal
began his disgraceful policy of delay
The. people have been disappointed and
impossible to take for granted any IA
vorable statement coming from the wal
department but the foregoing an
nouncement is so positive that it must
have large element of truth.
The vigorous fight made by the people
of Southern California against the un-
righteous policy of the secretary of wal
has beyond question contributed to nc
small degree in securing a favorable
however belated, outcome. The devious
course pursued by Mr.. Alger shows mos,
conclusively that he did not intend to
advertise for bids for some time to come
and that his deliberate policy was to de-
lay the whole matter as much as possi-
BILE 1t pays to be right, then to &c
ahead and keep going until the desired
result is achieved. If, unfortunately, the
present rejoicing should prove prema-
ture. the people will simply form once
more into battle array and fight the
good fight until it is won beyond perad-
venture.

A BAD BREAK

President Mckinley, like good
Methodist, attended divine services on
Thanksgiving day, but it is to be doubt
ed if he enjoyed the sermon. 1t was, so
to speak, delivered under presidential
auspices, but it is hardly to be believed
that Mr.. Mckinley endorsed all that was
said.
The preacher of the occasion-we had
almost said the orator of the day-was
the Rev. S. D. Johnston, who was ap-
parently imbued with desire to out
burchard Burchard. "The principal
dangers that threaten this country
said Mr.. johnson, ARE rum, socialism
and Jesuitism." Now Mr.. Mckinley is
good politician as we'll as good
church member and if he did not squirm
at this outbreak, his powers of self con-
troll must be remarkable.
Mr.. Burchard delivered himself Of the
expression Rum, Romanism and Re-
bellion' in a room of a hotel in New
York city in the presence of not more
than twenty persons. Yet it killed the
chances of Mr.. Blaine for election to the
presidency. Mr.. Blaine was a tolerant
man who had no sympathy with the
bigoted Burchard; yet he was powerless
to counteract the effect of the foolish and
uncalled for expression.
That is all ancient history, and it is
not at all likely that it could be repeated;
yet the Rev. Mr.. Johnston should be Ia
bored with in order to prevent future
misconception and insult. Such utter
ances were peculiarly out of place in a
Thanksgiving sermon. The American
people are not bigots, and they will be
no more in sympathy with the innuen-
does of Johnston than they were with the
declaration of Burchard.

value Of the water plant must be de-
ferred until the expiration Of the con-
tract.
Undoubtedly. by mutual agreement.
the arbitration provided for could be
held at any time. allowing for future
changes Of status: but can the city COM
pei the water company to go into arbi-
tration before the close Of the contract?
That is the question.
The very logic of the agreement would
seem to point otherwise. The works
were leased to the water company for a
term of thirty years. At the end of that
period the city is to take them back and
compensate the company for such I'M
provements as it may have made. In
the failure Of an agreement between the
principals as to the value Of such i'm
provements at the time the works are
surrendered permission is made for a
board Of arbitration to determine such
value.
Now, how is the value Of improve
ments made during the life Of the lease
to be determined until the expiration of
the lease? Between the present time
and the close of the lease 1t may be nee
ssary. in order to keep up an adequate
water service, for considerable repairs
and improvements to be made. How can
such expenditures be determined and
adjudicated in advance? Is there any
court of law that would compel the water
company to adjudicate them in advance?
Does it not become Il manifest alb
surdity for the city to force such a con-
struction of the contract? And If so,
where does Judge Wrght's reasoning
land us? Is it profitable for the city to
undertake to do something which there
are grave doubts of it's power to do and
thus run the risk of encountering defeat
at the very beginning of the contro-
versy? Would it not be better policy for
the city to insist on the validity Of the
contract and then abide by it to the very
letter in order that the other party to
the agreement may be compelled to do
the same?
The herald., 1897-11-27
A DOUBTFUL PROPOSITION

Whatever the result of the investi-
cation into the board of education scan
dial may be, the voters of the city will
soon be called upon to pass on the prop
osition to issue 1899, GOO in school bonds
The question is one that involves great
deal more than the extension and proper
equipment of our school system.
The Herald, several months ago. called
the attention of it's readers to the fact
that, no matter how much money might
be needed, the question of eXpediency
must enter into the matter. In plain
English it was even then a grave ques-
ton if it is advisable to put such an
amount of money into the hands of the
present board of education.
The developments of the past two
weeks have not been reassuring. Much
may depend upon the result of the in
quiry now in progress. If it can be
found that the majority of the board
are free from any taint of the shameful
scandal, and that the educational sys-
TEN of the city has been managed for
the best interests of the pupils, many
taxpayers may be inclined to vote in
favor of the bonds. If, on the other
hand, the results are such as to cause
the people to lose all confidence in the
board, the proposition to issue the bonds
will undoubtedly be lost.
The opposition to these bonds is also
based on the fact that so large q part of
the money-at least a hundred and fifty
thousand dollars-is intended to be
voted for the extension of high school
privileges. There are plenty Of people

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Nowadays a man can't go down cellar

they can't afford to know on earth. but

A woman can never see man with q
mourning band around his hat without
feeling almost as il she knew him.
