In reviewing the nosaloon campaign in Los Angeles
the California press without notable exception takes
the same general ground that The Herald maintained
throughout the contest.
That applies far observation has gone thus far,
even to newspapers representing the intense pro-
hibition communities.
The Redlands Review, for example, says: There are
many things that contributed to this outcome though
the greatest one undoubtedly the people while
admitting the value of the no-saloon policy in the
smaller cities given over mostly residences were not

One of the most cear-headed of California news
papers the Sacramento Union, takes logical and phil
osophcal view of the subject. 1t "The greater
number of people believe that laws ought to be made
not with respect to the nfrm minority but to the capa-
majority; in other words, that laws should be made
for the needs of the normal rather than the
abnormal man. Men never made sober or chaste
by enactment and never will be-" Continuing in this
vein the Union says:

and that is to develop in the moral muscle of

The new tax laws were being dis.
cussed in local hotel few days ago
when 1t was remarked that certain
prominent Republican of the city
claimed to be an "insurgent" and
was very much opposed to said laws.
A Democrat, who had been listening,
Immediately entered into the CONVEX
sation and said that he had not been
giving the laws any attention--had
not given them any consideration
whatever-but that they evidently had
merit in them since the Republican
mentioned was opposed to them-that
he was rated rich man and being
dissatisfied with the laws was sufi.
Client grounds for him to believe that
they were enacted for the benefit Of
the masses and not the classes; In
other words. that they were in the
interest OF the poor man rather than
the wealthy. So believing, he added,
he would hereafter be an outspoken
advocate Of tax reform. Other Demo

been listening smiled their approval
