TOMORROW THE LEGISLATURE

The Legislature will convene Monday. notwith-
standing the New Years holiday. The law requires
that the session shall begin the first Monday of Jan.
uary and the calendar date varies as the case of
election day Two years ago the first Monday of the
month fell on the 9TH 1t is expected that the session
will be only formally inaugurated Monday and that
adjournment will then be taken for two or three
days.
The only outgving of probable results thus far re-
lates to the movement heretofore noted in The Herald
aiming to stop the shameful grating" that dis
graced the legislature of 1903. The magnitude of the
abuse in respect to socaed cerkships distributed by
legislators is in the fact that taxpayers
of California $5855 for clekshps in the brief period of
the last session In the division of this particular pie
each senator got an allowance of $40 day and each
assemblyman $t2 Certain clerks necessary of
course but investigation has led Governor Pardee to
the conclusion that onefourh onethrd of the sum
layshed in the last session members can
be saved in the coming session.
1t is encouraging to learn that good progress has
been made in the direction of stopping the cerEshp
graft. A considerable number of members of both
houses understood being committed to close re-
renchment in all such expenditures. The proportion of
entirely members will be large, however and the
temptation to grasp all the pie the counter is
likely To be strong. it two years ago. Those of
the members who earnest in the effort keep the
skirts of the legislature fairly clean believe that
the wide publicity given by the the last sessions
scandal will act deterrent upon the legislature of
1905.

The dear old year has taken its de-
parture. 1t has been great year for
this country of ours, We have had
great prosperity. Beyond our expee-
tations, work has been plentiful and
good wages for it. Capital and labor
have had very prosperous and happy
time-all things considered. The great
combinations of wealth, organizing in
dustrial interests that have startled
the civilized world, have not been un-
derstood very well. Thank God the in
terests of labor and capital are being
better understood. They have reasoned
together. The difficulties that provoked
common sense, justice and fair play.
This is good reason for thankfulness
to this whole country. Because we are
working people this nation believes in
work-heroic. manly work This is not
pauper nation. This Is a nation in
which labor wears the badge of honor.
1t Is tremendously united for the deVel-
opment of the splendid resources of this
great land of ours. We are at peace
with all the world. This nation is con-
seorated to peace.
Our beloved president is heroic,
peaceful man, one Of the greatest presi-
dents we ever had. He has given us
such a splendid administration that II
the last election is fair test all of the
people are of one accord regarding
him--that he is a brave. true-hearted,
wise and patriotic American statesman,
lie is the first president who ever de-
clared after his triumphant election
that he would not be candidate again
for the presidency. Something of the
grandeur and the superb courage of this
young man Is TO be seen in the fact
that he refused to make this statement
previous TO his election. but waited
for the verdict of his countrymen When
It was worth making, 1t meant some
thing at that time and carried convic-
ton and spiked the gun OF every mar
who was envious OF his unparalleled
success. Again say God bless our be-
loved president and abide with him IN
the administration OF justice and right
eousness to all the people who love him
SO well.
We must not forget our experiences IN
this old year that is about to pass away
We must remember the blessings which
God has given us. We must count
them one BY one. They have been

OF lSHe per cent mOntn Interest, anu
when the debt had passed the 100000
mark, which It did in little less than
FIVE years, the mortgage was foreclosed
and the Santa Gertrudes ranch became
the property of John g Downey. To
give due eclat 60 the transaction, poor
Carpenter blew his brains out on the
day of sale.
with his customary enterprise Dow
ney laid out townsite i'm this finest
portion OF the Los Nietos valley and
the town Of Downey city sprang up
and prospered. II was in the heat and
glow Of this superb financial coup that
the Downey block was conceived and
built.
The Hon. Tom Fitch, some years after
its erection, had sensational contro
versy with Downey. That gentleman
was abusing the silver-tongued orator
in paper which he controlled, and
Fitch, having no paper with which TO
wage a wsr of epithets, had platform
erected in front of the Temple block
and invited the citizens of Los Angeles
to hear an exposition of the merits of
their townsman. They came In large
numbers and they enjoyed feast of
invective which was piping hot and
which no man In America or elsewhere
could do up in better style. The ex-
governor was guilty of the great mis-
take Of posting himself at a window in
the Temple block and of interrupting
Fitch, which was quite in that gentle
mans hands. Among other things he
introduced the Carpenter episode and
said that when he (Fitch) directed his
eyes toward the handsome Downey
block he thought he could see the bricks
dripping blood beneath the stucco.
There was not a protest against this
terrible parliamentary 1T was huge
ly en1oyed-for the simple reason that
in all the metes and bounds of Los
Angeles this supremely selfish man
with all his money-had not a single
friend, not so much as one soul in the
whole wide bailiwick to do him honor
Shrewd Way of Collecting Debt
The ex-governor's rapacity was by no
means confined to lending money at
1917 per cent month. He was a mas
ter hand at any game of converting
tuum into meum. A native California
woman in a moment of ill-omen got
into his debt for small sum. This
lady, whom we shall call Donna Eula-
liza, owned very fine pig, which was
the pride of her heart. No porcine pet
was more carefully fed and attended
than he. Donna Eulalia had built
many hopes on him and watched his
expanding avoirdupois with delight.
One day, whites he was feeding this
grand pig in corner of the yard Dow
ney came along and took in piggy's
dimensions. Leaning over the fence, he
called out:
Good morning, Donna Eulalia.'
Good morning, governor was the
reply.
That's mighty fine pig you have
there" remarked the astute Downey.
"Ain't he a beauty" said the graft
fed owner.
THAT he surely is Donna Eulalia.
And by the way, it is a shame that a
good woman like you should be having
but one pig. I'll give you another and
then it will be two you will be having"
ooh governor you are too good to
poor woman like me-
mot at all, Donna Eulalia. III send
the pig down today"
And the ex-governor was as good as
his word. The addition to the poor
woman's porcine treasure arrived be-
fore the going down of the sun. 1t is
true that it was a poor, ra2or-backed
