TO REGULATE AND CHECK

The conference between the special
committee of the council and the joint
committee of property owners and oil

lation Of the oil industry, to the end that
existing nuieances may be abated and
abuses in the future prevented, will be

conference last week satisfactory So

can be obviated, is admitted by the oil

tolerant spirit shown by the property
owners toward the Infant industry in

to meet the oil men half way on any
equitable basis.

TO SUPPRESS PUGILISM

A measure is under consideration by
congress which would punish newspaper
publishers who print matter about prize
fights and send it through the mail.
The theory upon which the pro-
posed act is based is that pugilism IS
essentially immoral, and where it is not
prohibited by state law it must be met
by national law. 1t is an application
of the method by which the lotteries
were stamped out to the nefarious busi-
ness of head-punching.
There are many millions of good peo-
pie in the union who would like to see
such a law put into effect and it is to
be doubted whether it would meet with
any great amount of opposition from
the newspaper fraternity. A daily jour-
nal does not necessarily approve of all
it prints, any more than a bookseller
enjoys the style and endorses the sentl-
ments of every volume that passes over
his counter. If any newspaper were to
close its columns to all undesirable mat
ter of that class, it would gain prac-
tically no adherents thereby ard would,
on the other hand lose a considera BILE
volume of business-so much, in fact,
as to prove a serious handicap. If any
great moral question were involved an

do his duty. but where it is rather a

RELIEF AT HAND

Actual relief is in sight for the worthy
unemployed of the city. The Merchants
and Manufacturers association commit :
tee has already secured substantial sub
scriptions to the fund, and the purposes
to which it Will be applied have been
decided upon. The money will be ex-
pended in improving the driveway
through Elysian park Yesterday con-
ference was held between the committee
and to park commissioners, when the
final preliminaries were arranged. A
committee of well-known engineers and
architects have volunteered their SER
vices free of charge to lay out the work,
and the city council has agreed to make
an appropriation of $1,000 to purchase
the necessary tools and materials The
work will be laid out this week, and by
Monday or Tuesday at the outside act
ual labor will begin.
1t is the intention to raise at least
$4,000, and one hundred men will be
put to work at the start, and the number
increased as the applications come in.
The whole matter is being thoroughly
systematized and it is believed that no
difficulty will be experienced in taking
care of all worthy unemployed who are
in need of immediate assistance.

REPUBLICAN SIMPLICITY

| The dispatches tell us that the presi-
dent-elect has started upon his trip to
Washington. 1t is gratifying to notice
that the chief magistrate had the good
taste to avoid all display on the line of
his triumphar march in Difference, no
doubt. to the hard times and the conse-
quent poverty of the country. 1t re-
auired only seven passenger coaches to
make up the necessary special train. TO
| transport his excellency from Canton.
OF course the cars were no ordinary
coaches, but chiefly the private prop
erty of railroad presidents, costing not
to exceed $50, 900 EACH Now, when we
reflect that the president could have had
train of thirty-fve cars or more, if he
had intimated such an extravagant de-
sire to Marcus, the forbearance of his
excellency stands out as fine example
of the simplicity of the republican form
of government. Louis WV, for exam
pie, would have had a cool hundred
coaches, with ten engines; to say moth
ing of cabooses and baggages, while
the modern kaiser would probably have
''mobilized the army" and made a
speech.
The child-like simplicity of the pro-
jected inaugural ball is another delight
full subject for contemplation. AS
everybody knows, it will be made up
chiefly of the toiling congressman and
the over-worked army men and the
despised and prosecuted drudges of the
navy. The aristocratic granger and the
plutocratic mechanic and all their ex-
sent. 1t will be purely peoples gath
ering and in this will lie its republican
simplicity.
From first to last It will cost not more
than a beggarly 100000 to get his ex-
cellency decorously seated in the chair
of state, and if there is any cheaper way
of seating a man in such big chair we
protest that we don't know it.
But why mar the simplicity of this Sc
ductive program by base suspicion? The
accounts tell us that there will be pres
ent at this otherwise unsophisticated
gathering details of detectives from
every state of the union. They will be
attired as guests, and each will keep
watch for the conjured-up homicide.
This looks grave. 1t causes the pessim
list to scratch his foolish head and to ask
whether our popular simplicity is that
of jefferson or even of Lincoln. The
president is to be ushered in with the
pomp and surrounded by the safe
guards of a Romanoff.

A GREAT VICTORY

The wires never brought better news
to Los Angeles than they brought yes
terday announcing the decision Of
the harbor commission.
Great good will come to Southern Cali
fornia in general and to Los Angeles in
particular from the locating of the pro-
jected deep-sea harbor at San Pedro
First and foremost, the selection of
San Pedro removes the ocean commerce
of Los Angeles and the territory trib-
ptary to this trade center beyond the
reach of the Southern Pacific monopoly
Had Santa Monica been selected, all
terminal facilities and approaches
thereto would have been either under
the direct control or under tribute to
and must always be a chance for COM
petition.
Then, again, with San Pedro as the
objective point of coast-wise and foreign
ships, Los Angeles is bound to become
a great center for the accumula tion and
distribution of all lines of foreign and
the destiny allotted to her in her geo.
graphical position.
When these conditions are secured Los
Angeles will naturally reach out into
territory in the north and east which is
now more or less difficult to control
In fact, this city should then, and GER
tainly will, become the selling and buy
ing market and the money-supply CEN
ter of wide range of country.
But more immediate benefit than
those above enumerated will be in the
expenditure here within the next few
years of large amount of money for
the Improvements at San Pedro, and in
the general stimulus to railroad build
ing and general development that will
follow. This alone ought to stem the tide
Of hard times and set this end of the
state on the high road to prosperity.
So, altogether, there is reason for re-
joicing in the selection of San Pedro
There is cause for gratitude to our SEN
ators and representatives, who have so
faithfully waged the peoples fight
There is renewal of our respect for
government commission which confirms
two illustrious predecessors in deciding
this question upon it's merits. And let
Us hope that the third time is the charm.

lied the prizefght. and as the question
is being mooted of making all manner of
lottery schemes lawful. would suggest
that the Nevadans go a little further.
Let them license every form of devil
ment and then invite the lawless and
vicious elements in the cities and towns
of the Pacific coast states to make their
home amid the desert wilds of alkali
and sagebrush. Such people might de-
light to live in a state where Vice Is
a lawful pastime and brutality an at
tribute of manhood. There might he
quite an exodus of such elements from
Los Angeles, and the city be the gamer
thereby. The entire coast might spare
enough to give breathing room for
morality within it's borders and make
Nevada one Of the most populous states
in the union. Let all the vicious ele-
ments be gathered to their own place.
Instead Of having hell scattered every
where, let it be concentrated. Then let
it be so that all people who go from
other states to witness prizehght shall
be forbidden to return among clvilized
citizens, but be obliged to remain in the
state where such things are lawful l
would to God it were so.

HOW 1T WOULD WORK IN

The Herald has indicated the evil eff
it should become law. We have shown
that it would be bar to the develop
ment of the suburbs of Los Angeles,
locking up the means of access to the
center of the city and placing the key
in the hands of monopoly.
How this measure would affect San
Francisco is clearly outlined in the fol-
lowing open letter from Mayor James
D. Phelan to Senator Bulla, published
in the San Francisco Examiner:

Market street over another's track.
hasten to send you a copy of a substitute
for your bill which so modifies the pres
ent law on the subject that / think it
may answer, in some measure at least,
the local objections of the Los Angeles
railway owners. The changes I would
make in the present law would be to
strike out "consecutively" and substi-
tute ten blocks" for five blocks and
TO permit two or more lines of street rail
way to use ten blocks of common track
on the same street; that is to say, one
company may not use more than ten
blocks on the same street in common
with another company, but ii may use
ten blocks of another street Uuder this
rule, as set up by the substitute, when
ten blocks would be used upon Market
street for instance, that would be the
limit so far as Market street would be
concerned. Under this rule competi-
ton would not be stified. Under your
proposed measure competition canno,
come to San Francisco, which it should
be permitted to do under the law. Your
bill confirms the Market Street COM
pany's monopoly for thirty-five years.

the consumer can buy oranges from
Europe for one-half what we should de-
mand or not. A bargain is bargain. If
the railroads demand a fair share of this
increase of prices why should not such
demand be allowed? Is not the tarini

Again, it is an entirely mistaken idea
that sixty-nine million seven hundred

A NEW FOREST RESERVATION

Amongst the new forest reservations
set apart on Washingtons birthday
there are two in California. the Stanis-
laus in the Sierra Nevada and San Ja-
cinto. The latter is in Southern Califor-
mia and completes the forest reserva-
tions about the valleys that center to-
ward Los Angeles. The San Jacinto re-
serve contains 773, 240 acres of land. 1t is
not only important as the water shed Of
the San Jacinte and Lake Hemet water
supply, but also from the modifying ef-
feet of the forested area on the summer
drift of hot, dry winds from the great
Colorado desert.
While the executive has taken this
judicious action, it has stopped short
with the formal reservation of thesa
lands for forestry purposes. While the
Yosemite, the Yellowstone, General
Grant park, etc, have patrols and a
management which enforces law and
prevents or extinguishes fire. our for
est reservations have neither manage
ment nor law.
The utilization of some of the army
for a local patrol would be at no extra
cest 70 the government or to any one
else. 1t has been demonstrated by the
experience of every forest reserve where
the military have been employed that
the local laws are for the first time re-
spected and that destructive forest fires
come to an end
Besides these very important results
to an irrlgating community, there are
numbers of accompanying incidental
very agreeable advantages. These are:
First-The preservation of game and
fish against determination and such
vandalism as dynamiting streams for
trout. .,.
Second-The preservation of the seen
cry of the mountains against deface-
ment by reckless advertisers, and still
more against the ugly scars of fire.
Third-The health giving effect of the
outing on the physical and moral con-
oition of the soldiers themselves.
Our public bodies took some action
last fall to obtain patrol and manage
ment for our forest reservations III
Southern California. The Academy of
Sciences initiated the work. This should
be taken up again and strongly. Spring
is upon US, and before we know it 50
slow moving body as the general gov
ernment will have slipped by another
dangerous season for the forests with
out giving these a due protection. The
work must be done over again because
the new administration has not been
touched by the former work. The cham
Der of commerce or the Merchants and
Manufacturers association should
again back up the work of the Academy
of Sciences. No one interested in for
estry should overlook the need of pro-
vision for legitimate mining nor forget
to ask for roads and trails into our
beautiful mountain regions.
