THOMPSON STATUS
 IS CLEARLY STATED

Conflicting reports regarding the polit- ical and official status of Joseph O. Thompson, the collector of internal rev enue. have given rise to great deal of speculation in republican circles.
 MT. Thompson now holds three political positions. namely, collector of internal revenue, chairman of the state republican committee and is one of the Presidents referees in Alabama regarding the distri- button of federal patronage.
 Several months ago the treasury de- partment at Washington issued circu- lar letter, stating that officeholders un- der it's jurisdiction should relnauish all positions held by them in the direction or manipulation of the party organiza- ton. This letter was occasioned by fixed rule of the civil service bureau, and also by the fact that not few republican state committees In the south were made up in large measure of federal office holders.
 The purpose of the circular letter was to enforce the spirit of the civil service regulations and to arrest the political machines in the southern states from the absolute control of the office holding and office-seeking class.
 The letter hit the republican state con- mittee of Alabama hard, more than half of its members being federal officeholders. One after another the resignatons of these officeholders from the state com mittee were received and fled.
 The question then came up as to whether or not Chairman Thompson would resign by reason of the fact that he was collector of internal revenue.
 Will he retire from the chairmanship p of the state committed?
 In reply to that question yesterday, MT. Thompson said:
 T have not yet definitely decided. I may and again may not. My action will be governed by developments. That is all I have to say at this time.'

For Separate Saloons.

One of the questions that may come up before the city council at the next meet ing is that of separate saloons.
 It Is understood that Mayor Ward and other members of the present administra- ton favor the passage of an ordinance separating the white and negro bars.
 Last night a well known member of the

The BOundleSS Pleasure
P Possibilities of TOyland

The big Toy Department at the rear of the first floor is the rallylng point for all the children, and those who are bent on making children happy, this week. People, old and young, come singly and in crowds-parents with their children, the children with their uncles, cousins or aunts-and they all go away in joyful possession of some of the choicest toys and games ever seen at the Christmas season.
 The range of pleasure and recreation which Toyland displays is bound less. There is the greatest assort- ment of everything, and those who come here can find plenty of things to make the children happy.
 Special prices on many of the toys this week-inducements to help us get rid of some things which we may have overestimated the demand for. But everything that is here is new and good, and the low prices will make them move extra quickly. Buy early in the day; and don't let another day go by before beginning if you have not already done SO. You'll be disappointed if you do, be- cause the very best toys and games are going fast, and the ranks are thinning out more and more every day.

HIGH CITRUS FRUIT PRICES

The orange industry monopolizes attention in the
citrus fruit line that the Importance of the lemon
product often is overlooked A reminder that lemon
growing is immensely profitable under favorable cond
tions from the Highland district near San Ber
nardino One shipper reports the result Of carload
sale of his lemons, at Highland at the of
s6.40 per box. carload average $50 boxes carload
from another Highland shipper gave profit of $5
per box.
Only when there is stiff demand for citrus fruits
either lemons extreme prices obtanable
If such prices the rule good citrus fruit would
bring fabulous prices there would be a wild rush
for them The range of profit in both these lines many
be understood from the fact that growers would be
glad to get regular net profit of 81 box oranges
and lemons. When the eastern markets are glutted
with citrus fruits the profit figure drops close zero
The high prices recently obtained for late oranges
well as for lemons should impress upon growers the
Importance of distributing the output to avoid
congestion in market The fact that lemons mature
nearly all in this region distrbu-
ton easy. In the orange product the plan is feasible
only by growing larger percentage of late maturing
fruit.

RABBI HlRSCH HAS MODERN
IDEA or OLD TESTAMENT
THINKS MOSES BOOKS NOT
INSPIRED
Favors Colonization Of Palestine by
Oppressed Jews Of Russia, but
Does Not Advocate Nationalist
ton Of the Race

Rabbi Emil @. Hlrsch the noted Chi
cago educator, arrived in Los Angeles
last evening from Santa Barbara and
Is stopping at the Van Nuys hotel.
DR.. Hirsch was met at the station by
a committee of prominent Jewish citi-
zens, George Black, Elias Cohn and
Rabbi M. @. Solomon, VINO will enter
tain him during his stay in Los An
geies.
A thorough scholar, Rabbi Hirsch
has given his life to the study of the
early Hebrews and is an authority on
the various books of the Old Testa-
ment. BY careful study of sources
and authorities DR.. Hirsch, in con-
junction with such men as Rabbi Voor-
sanger of San Francisco, has been led
to form opinions as to the authorship
Of the various books of the Old Tes-
lament widely at variance with the
accepted belief Of the uninitiated.
Some few of the conclusions arrived
at by these eminent scholars are:
First, the Old Testament is no more
Lost" or Dante's Divine Comedy"
but is simply the best of a nations
literature and the work of widely diff
ferent hands.
Second-Moses did not form the code
of laws that bears his name, but
adapted them from the code of Ham
urabi. Law is the result of accumu-
lated experience and the newly liber-
ated captives could not have formed
code of such completeness" Tablets
containing the code of Hamurabi have
been discovered within the last few
years, and the date of this Asia Minor
prince is known to have been some
hundreds of years before that of Mo-
ses
Third-The prophets are looked up
on as poets, and 1t is known that
neither the Psalms of David nor the
Proverbs of Solomon were alone the
work of those to whom their author
ship is ascribed.
Fourth-The evolution of the idea of
Yaweh or Jehovah from merely a tri-
bal or family god to a world deity is
recognized.
Fifth-Dr. Hirsch believes in the
colonization of Palestine by the op-
pressed Jews of Russia, but does not
believe in the naturalization of the
race.

THE clTYs FINANCIAL PRoBLEM

From surplus TO deficit at leap would about express
the financial situation of the Los Angeles city govern
ment The actual condition is change from the pros
pect Of a lower tax rate to the demand for either
higher rate or heroic cut in the expense estimates
All the benefit supposed to be derivabe from in
crease Of 100000 in the years revenue is swamped in
the gloomy revelation of than s1OOOOOO shortage
Why the cost of operating the city government this
year should be than onethird greater than the
expenditure last year is an inexplcable question An
increase with the growth of the city is
expected by the public but nothing On that basis
the large addition to the for this should
be adequate to meet the normal increase of cost But
partment estimates $111172410 in excess of the
total for general expenses The figures are
respectively $3,SS1,724.10 and s2,770OOO
The tax rate of last year is quite high enough. Con-
sidering the valuations usually made by the Los An
geles assessors, heretofore pointed out by The
Herald the rate is 'a the stuff will stand"
railway managers wont to say of freghtage No
increase of the tax rate beyond last years figure can
be considered
A big plank, not shaving, will have to be split
from the aggregate estimate of the city depart
ments. The split must be made also, without serious
detrment to public interests The efficiency of every
line of the public service must be maintained and the
heads of departments will be held accountable accord
ingly.
The pruning knife and if necessary the ak, will have
to be employed in keeping salary accounts down to Zero
Every department, believe demands more help and
higher salaries asked by some of them. AS indi-
Gated by the city auditor there is no means of ncreas
ing the in any This because under arti
Gle II, section the rate for all general expenses
must exceed 81 for 500 worth of taxable property
That limit is reached Consequently, every cent of
that inflated 7241O will have be Topped off the
estimates

MILLIONAIRE DESCRIBES
"WORKINGMENS CHURCH,
N. o. NELSON GIVES HIS IDEA OF
ITS FUNCTIONS
Says II Must. Be Mlnlstered over by
One In sympathy With consreea-
ton and Who Understands Needs
and Wants Of Laboring Glass

"Class distinction and class con-
sclousness rule in church as well as in
business and make the church of the
workingman' a necessity"
SO said N. O. Nelson, the millionaire
phianthropist, in his closing lecture be-
fore the Venice assembly yesterday
upon the "Church of the workingman."
"The men who shovel dirt and the
women who cook are just as much
strangers to the upper classes on Sun
day as on Saturday night. They can
never understand the same sermon or
sit in the same pew.
"As an institution the church is a
social altar, a rich mans club, from
which the poor are excluded. There can
be, however a poor mans church, born
of his aspirations. The workingman
deals with the concrete; he understands
immediate causes and effects only. He
thinks of affairs within visual distance
and Of immediate personal value.
1.-THE church of the workingman
must be church of today; a society of
like minded people. 1t must be n
church of mass as against class; one
which works toward an ideal brother
hood.
ut must be a church Of the work
ingman' and must be presided over by
ministering mind which is on a level
of that Of the parishioner.
This church of the workingman'
would be the territorial center of is
members. It would have a bulldog
adapted to many activities. 1t would
have committees to aid the sick and
unemployed. 1t would have lawyers TO
see that sanitary ordinances were en-
forced.
ut would have schools, entertain
ments, dances. 1t would have credit
bank where deposits and loans could be
made with only shade of difference
in rate.
practical progress must come before
ethical. Cleanliness is next TO godii-
ness and not until the poor are mater
tally benefited can religious superstruc-
lures be built

WHERE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS

Assuming that the members of the board of pub
lie works will be honest and capable, their individuality
is not of primary The fact be recog
nzed that each of the three will have to acceptable
to the Republican Organization"
Responsibility for the service to be rendered by
board will rest chiefly, therefore, upon the managers
of the Republican machine the mayors accounta-
biy will be essened by the fact that he is obliged to
choose between board acceptable to those managers
and no board at all
AS the proposed board of public works does not be-
operative until the beginning of next year the
naming of members is not emergent now The new
plan involves entirely departure in the most
porant feature of the public service however the
change will necessitate much preparatory work
The citizens of Los Angeles have been led to expect
good results from the board of public works. with the
wide latitude given it for municipal beterment They
will be glad to the end of the friction concerning
appontees which has threatened to tie up the project
during the whole of Mayor McAleers term And as the
responsibility for the board will rest upon the Repub
lican managers primarily and the mayor secondary in
any case the the matter settled the better
