A Creditable Industry Founded by n
A. Bailey

An important industry in a manufac,
turing and industrial center, such -
Los Angeles, is the one founded and run
by A. A. Bailey, located at 300 South Les
Angeles street, where can be found q
irg. lubricating oils, compounds and
Babbitt metals.
The house also represents as soh
agents the Reliable" Steam pump, de-
signed especially for feeding oils, but
also perfect in pumping hot and cold
water. Experience has shown, as MT.
Bailey says, that the Reliable" Is the
best oil pump on the market, and those
who use it it justify the claim
The Bailey Anti-Friction Metal"
manufactured by them Is a high gradA.
self-lubricating metal which prevents
heating Of journal bearings, increases
the available power and reduces wear
ard tear on machinery and gearing.
This metal is already we'll known on the
Pacific coast, and is used by most Of the
larger mills. factories and machine
shops, north and south.
Mr. Bailey carries full line (the larg-
est on the coast) of sheet and other
q full stock of expansion and sectional
rings ard coil packings. These are tho
best known packings for steam, ammo
MIA, and water that are made.
His twelve years experience in this
business on this coast, about four years
of which have been put in in his present
location, 800 South Los Angeles street,
has given the manufacturing houses
confidence In Mr.. Bailey and his wares.
His business is sure to grow with tho
other interests of Los Angeles.

some CHARTER CHANGES
T. E. Gibbon, Esq, Discourses
Upon Benefits in View
A BUSINESS PROPOSITION
Which Knocks Out the Ward Politicians
Program
The Civil Service System VIII Inspire
the Poor Mans Child as Well as
the Wealthier One

The public mind is arousing from its
lethargy in connection with the ap"
preaching charter election, and the
amendments that are to be submitted to
the public vote on the goth inst are be-
ing now perused with interest.
While the proposed amendments fill
no less than fourteen columns OF close
print, the essential features-thosc that
are of paramount importance-are SIM
ply and easily understood. These may
be epitomized as follows:
INSTRUMENTATION Of executive au-
thority in the mayor, he having the ap-
pointment of the heads Of departments
elected to Office under the charter now
existing. Standardization of council
men and members of the board of edu-
cation at large. and for a four years
term. ThirdHAll minor appointments
to BE for merit under the civil service
system. Fourth-The enforcement Of
definite financial system. Fifth-The
abolition of unnecessary offices Sixth
Franchises to be awarded by bid, and
under restrictions that will yield rev.
enue to the city. Seventh-The city
elections to take place in the spring so
as not to conflict with the national and
state elections.
Other important points there are, but
they are Of minor Importance, and the,
opposition of the political ward striker
and his following is arrayed against the
above changes, and particularly the first
two.
The plan under which the amendments
have been prepared is popularity known
as the federal plan," and is sanctioned
not only by the mode followed in. the
formation of the national government,
as the name indicates, but many of the
large cities In the east having adopted 1t

Terminal railroad. in the course of run
ming commentary upon the facility with
which the best interests of the CITY can
be defeated under the present obsolete
charter, that is mere relic of boom
times.
Experience has shown" said Mr..
Gibbon, that the proper plan for a mu-
nicipal government is the concentration
of power in the executive board. This
plan suggested itself to the founders of
this republic long ago, and the rightness
of their conclusions is being proven as
each large city of the country has fallen
Into line by adopting this "federalplan /"

Proseeutina Attorney Needed

With capabl= and honest man as prosecuting attorney in the police cours, a public and much needed good will have been rendered. It will be the means of aiding in the administration of public justice. It will take from that court the rubber boot movement and whs- perlng gallery conducted by police of ficials who believe, because arrests have been made conviction must follow. Po- lice officers can be witnesses, but that they should be prosecuting attorneys and think themselves assistant n1agis- trates at the same time is not in accord ance with the constitution of the United States and the American idea of liberty and fairness. Let there be a prosecut- ing attorney appointed and police of- ficials to act as witnesses only. Those who are taken before the courts have as many rights, if not more, than those who take them there. The latter are servants, the former are the masters.
