BOARD OF TRADE ASKS
FOR OPINIONS ON BILL
Measures Will Be Taken to Defeat the
Proposed Law Concerning
Corporations

The Los Angeles board of trade
through it's officers is now engaged in
securing a volume of letters, from the
officials of various corporations in Los
Angeles and neighboring towns in
reference to assembly bill 321, now
pending in the state legislature.
This law, if enacted, would require all
corporations doing business within the
state to file verified semi-annual state
ments with county recorders showing
the assets of the corporation, it's re-
| ceipts and expenditures for the preced-
ing six months and its liabilities. 1t is
claimed that the board of trade is a
purely private corporation and that it
should not be required to publicly dis
close it's business secrets.
Those to whom the circulars are sent
are requested to give expression to all
Objectionable features of the bill, and it
is added: "If the requirements were
limited to corporations the shares of
which are listed for sale in stock ex-
changes or are publicly trafficked in, 1t
is quite probable that no just criticism
COulQ De illuulSeu iii' VII 'iic olhSl he'ii"'
there is no more reason why corpora
tions. the shares of which seldom
change hands, should have to make
public disclosures of their business
operations than mercantile firms or
other corporations"
When all responses are received Sec
retary Gregory Perkins jr,, of the Los
Angeles board of trade will send the
same to the legislative committee on
corporal ions, and earnest efforts will
be made by Los Angeles, San Francis
co and other boards of trade to have
the bill defeated so far as it applies to
private corporations.

NOT INCLINED TO BOAST

"In times past the people of Southern California
boasted that they occupied higher moral plane than
of the north and to give emphasis to their conen
tion the finger has been pointed at the great
array of saloons to be all along the line from
Tehachapi to Siskiyou."
The Herald has no recollection of such rudeness
is charged in this complaint of the Sacramento Bee 1t
would be pharsaical for Los Angeles anyway, to in
innate that is either hoier temperate than
it's northern Urban neghbors. This city has smaller
number of saloons than the larger northern cities, i'll
proportion TO population, but that signifies nothing in
regard to the consumption of intoxcants.
All that Los Angeles has to be thankful for
ing the liquor traffic is the fact that the saloons
confined fairly we'll the business section of the city,
1t may be claimed that there decent observance
ing some law The fact that the number
of saloons has not been increased within period which
has witnessed doubling of the citys population is not
subject to warrant boast, much less the pointing
of the finger Of scorn."
Probably there is much liquor drinking in Los
Angeles today in proportion to population, there has
been any period since the beginning of the cy's
modern The business of the saloons may not in
dcate the relative increase of drinking, but the drug
stores and particularly their patent medicine business
tell the story Liquors for alleged medicinal purposes
as 55 per cent of alcohol probably have absorbed
large percentage of regular saloon business.
No, Los Angeles is not inclined to boast of any great
advance in temperance for the simple that it
has nothing that to boast about

REPUBLICAN, FREE TRADE

Practical free trade fer the benefit of exporting manu-
facturers by virtue of the present Republican tariff
an anomaly disclosed in circular just issued by the
treasury department This circular is in accordance
with decision by the attorney general to the effect
that manufacturers may enjoy free trade practically in
importing raw materials which are subsequently ex-
ported in the form of manufactured goods Nominal free
trade is evaded by the payment Of full duties
materials when received by manufacturers but rebate
Of 80 per cent Of the tariff such materials is paid
back by the governments when the manufactured artt
cles exported
AS example of the operation of this scheme Of
Republican free trade for the benefit of large manufac
the shoe business cited The heretofore
has been able to import hides tan them and full
rebates expectation Of his leather Under the new
rule the shoe manufacturer may work up such leather
into Shoes and all of the shoes exported he the
tanner will get rebate 80 per of the regular
import duty on his hides from which the leather
made.
It is evident that large manufacturers will profit inn
mensely by the Interpretation of the Dingley tariff
act fresh impulse will necessarily be given to the
American invasion" of the industrial world abroad.
Already that invasion has alarmed Europe but with the
advantage of free trade in materials, practically,
the American manufacturer undersell nearly all
foreign competitors in the home markets of the latter.
But where does the American consumer of manu-
factured articles come in? Lower prices may be ex-
peced by foreign buyers of American wares but there
is provision for reduction in prices that Americans
pay The shoe manufacturer for instance will get moth
ing from the government goods supplied to the home
market All the benefit derivabe from the rebate system
be introduced will go to the exporting manufac-
turers and the foreign buyers. .t
In this ruling concerning the present tariff have
another striking example of the favortism toward
classes and the discrimination against the masses that
characterize the whole protective tariff system Every
time American buys article such as is exported
he will have IN he "chiDnng
in" for the benefit of the rich manufacturer and the
lucky foreign buyer of American goods

ARTHUR LET'S SCORES
. ASCOT PARK RACING
Proprietor of Broadway Department
Store Urges Merchants Asso-
citation to Blot Out Evil

Arthur Let's, proprietor of the
Broadway Department store, yesterday
urged the Merchants and Manufacture
ers association to use it's influence in
suppressing evils attendant upon rae
ing at Ascot park. Mr.. Let's believes
it to be the duty of the association TO
lead a movement which will rid the
city of bookmakers, touts, gamblers
and the undesirable element which, he
says, follows the, class of sport now
being carried on at Ascot park.
The following communication was
read by the secretary:
Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 6.-To the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associa-
tion, Los Angeles, Cal, Gentlemen:
beg respectfully to call to your atten-
tion the evils attending the racing sea-
son at Ascot park, and trust that you
will use your good influences to blot out
that moral cancer. 1t is a menace to
the youth of this city and q loadstone
which attracts criminal classes from all
points of the compass. Crime in this
city has increased since it's inception.
"The Merchants and Manufacturers
association always has stood for all
that was good and wholesome, and has
ever been TO, the fore with ways ana
means for upbuilding the business in
terests lof this favored city. At the
present time in Los Angeles, financial,
as we'll as moral interests, are suffering
from the gambling spirit which is born
of bookmaking. Scarcely an edition
of the daily papers can be. picked up
but chronicles the downfall of some
man or woman who has squandered
money that was not his own at the race
track. ~
I'm my opinion it is the plain duty
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
association to head a movement which
will rid this city of bookmakers, touts,
gamblers and the undesirable element
which follows the class of sport that
now is being carried on at Ascot park.
al am sure that the support of every
man of affairs who has the welfare Of
Los Angeles at heart viii be yours
without solicitation.
yours respectfully,
''Dict. A. l.. ARTHUR LETS.

Filcher, acting as agents for Governor
Pardee held meeting for the purpose
of looking over and approving the
plans and specifications for the Cali
fornia exhibit building to be erected at

TRACKS REPAIRED,
TRAINS MOVING
DELAYED 0vERLANDS DUE TO
ARRIVE TODAY
Washouts at Kingmsn, on the Santa
Re, and Ell casco, on the South-
ern Pacific, psmoral-
ize Traffic

Los Angeles officials of the santa
Fe were notified at o'clock yesterday
afternoon that the washout at Gro
zier's canyon had been repaired ana
the trains, which for the past four
days have been held at Kingman,
Ashfork and other points along the
line. were being moved forward as
fast as possible. owing to the poor
condition of the roadbed at num-
Der of places between Los Angeles
and the point where the big washout
occurred all passenger trains are run
ming on slow schedule and the 1rst
of the long overdue through trains is
scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles at
about o'clock this morning.
All trains are heavily loaded with
passengers, who have not relished
their experiences of the past few days.
East-bound trains which for the
larger part Of the time have left Los
Angeles on schedule, but which have
been detained at Needles, are being
sent forward as fast as it is possible,
and all trains out of Los Angeles on
the Santa Fe after IL o'clock yester-
day were sent east on the regular
time.
The Southern Pacific has had the
greatest trouble in bridging the wash
out of over 100 feet of its track near
Ell Casco, where the White Water
river has been on the rampage since
last Thursday morning. The rains
have been almost continuous since
that time and the repairs which have
been made have been repeatedly
washed away.
Sunday afternoon a temporary bridge
was constructed and all east and west
bound trains passed over in safety.
Those trains bound for Los Angeles
reached here at IL o'clock the same
night. Yesterday morning at o'clock
the temporary bridge was again
washed away, hut in eight hours'
time was once more repaired and the
only delay caused was that to freight
trains.
West bound trains over the South
ern Pacifc arrived in Los Angeles
many hours late yesterday, but Off
cials said everything was in working
order on this division and that the
delay was caused on the other side Of
Yuma.
Great inconvenience has been caused
tourists both coming and going and
many who were to have left Los An
geles last Thursday on their way east
did not start on their journey, until
last night.
