Who Are the Anarchistse

To the Editor OF the Los Angeles Herald;
rise to point Of order. The gentlemen
who are agitating themselves over the suit
of Abbot Kinney VS.. Newlin ct al. are talk
ing entirely at random and of the question.
The sole question involved In the sui!
Is this: Are the inmates Of the Soldiers
home legally entitled to vote in the pre-
clncts In which they now exercise that
right or are they not? II they are not en-
titled by law so to vote would our Repub-
lican friends and their co-sociallsts have us
to underst and that they desire Illegal votes
Which is subversive to free institutions. a
blow at the purity of the ballot and a
menace to citizenship, to have the question
about which there hangs a grave doubt
judicially determined and forever set at
rest, or 10 howl down any attempt at in
vestigation In the only tribunal which
can determine 1t? Are our constitutions
and laws made for enforcement or only to
occupy a place which for ceremony's sake
we fill? And, finally. Is it not absolutely
anarchistic to declaim against attempted
enforcement Of laws and If so "who are the
anarchists now?" However, 1t is too much
to expect of Republicans and co-socialists;
they embrace such an opportunity to make
a great noise and to cover up the real
question involved to pass unheeded.

length to which sound could be conveyed
in a straight pipe without branches was
found to be 1900 to 1900 feet. For distances
up to 268O feet the best kind Of pipe was
that with diameter of about twenty
inches; beyond that distance larger pipes
were more effective. In distances UP to

SALARY GRAB AC?

The members Of the courthouse ring
will smile when they read the plank in
the Republican county platform declar-
ing in favor of the reduction of salaries
of officers and deputies.
The men who drafted this plank must
be tenderfeet or jokers. AS tenderfeet
they are excusable, for they are not IA
miiar with the history Of the county
government act, better known as the
salary grab act. AS jokers they have
which they declare should be reduced

the Republican candidates who are now
ENJOYING them, or who expect to draw
them for the next four years.
The last legislature had Republican
majority. AS usual. the county govern
ment act came before it for amendment.
that is, for the purpose Of having all
salaries increased. The county Of Los
Angeles was represented at Sacramento
by its legal adviser, the district attor-
ney, and delegation Of influential poll
ticians who were sent there by our
county officials to lobby to increase the
burdens upon the taxpayers of this
county by increasing the salaries of
county officials which were already too
large by half.
One example will illustrate the differ
ence between Republican platform
promises and Republican legislation.
BY the amendment of 1897 to the salary
grab act the salary of the assessor OF
this county was increased by giving him
certain percentages upon public moneys
collected by him. with the result that
this office will now pay to the lucky
man $4,000 in round numbers per an
mum.
It Is no wonder, therefore, that the
Republican party is ashamed of its sal
airy grab act, and that 1t is compelled
to repudiate it by pledging its members
of the legislature to use their influences
and votes to secure "a more economical
administration Of county affairs" and
to secure a Reasonable reduction of
the salaries of officers and deputies"
The taxpayer will remember, however,
that the Republican party has repeated
this same plank year after year, and that
instead of securing more economical
administration of county affairs" and "a
reasonable reduction of Salaries 1t has,
at every session of the Legislature, grad
ually increased both until office holding
is now the most profitable business in
the county.
The plank reads we'll, but does 1t give
hope to the taxpayer?
