THE EMINENT DOMAIN PERIL

The most mysterious of all the strange doings of the
gone but not forgotten" legislature is disclosed in
bill now in the governors hands, which presented
by Los Angeles senator 1t is known generally as the
"eminent domain BILL 1t would be more fttngy
described thus: "An to prevent cities from acquir
ing water outside of the counties in which they
situated"
It's enactment, which now needs only the governors
signature, would put limit the growth of most of
the large cities of the state particularly San Francisco
and Los Angeles.
1t is amazing that such could have passed
through all its legislative phases without the discovery
of its vicious character. How could Los Angeles legis
ator in the first place concoct measure that might
properly be called solar plexus blow at the expansion
of this city? How could the other Legislators have failed
detect the danger and consequently to sound the note
of warning? Through both houses and up to the gov
ernor went eminent domain peril passing all legis
ative formaties without detection of its real character
Only hypothesis that the members of the legis
ature, particularly those from Los Angeles and San
Francisco, too dilatory to pay attention to what
was going on under their official could such facts
be possible Concerning the author of the bill it would
be stretch of charity to that he was an innocent
tool Of schemers who had important personal or cor
porate interests to subserve
The fact that at this late day urgent appeals
made executive veto of the perncious bill shows
to what extent communities at the mercy of in
efficient unfaithfu legislators The signing of the
bill by the governor will the stoppage of
preliminary work already undertaken to determine
prospects for further Los Angeles water supply beyond
the county limits. San Francisco is wholly dependent
for it's water supply on sources outside the county.
1t is presumable of course, that the governor will

NO DOMINICAN HORNETS NEST

The senate has wisely determined that the United
States shall keep out of the Dominican hornets nest
Notwithstanding the presidents earnest desire the
contrary
The Santo Domingo treaty will be laid on the sena-
toria shelf, according to the latest Indications and
there it will rest indefinitely If the senate refuses to
ratfy now, in the special session called with particu-
lar reference to it, there is not much probability that
the result will be different when congress meets next
winter.
The solid opposition to the treaty the part of the
Democratic senators is significant While they have
shown marked frendliness toward the president lately
in relation to questions they evidently think it
time to call halt in the presidents broad application
of the Monroe doctrine. That doctrine is of Democratic
origin and it always has been upheld staunchly by the
Democratic party The wisdom of expanding its scope
so as to make the United States wetnurse for
score of baby republics and collection agency
in the interest of European is not apparent how
ever to Democratic statesmen.
The precedent that would be set by such a treaty
the in question recognized bad from every
point of view The chief purpose of the treaty as
planned by the president is to assist the feeble Do
mnican republic to get its financial legs thus
pay its obligations abroad The treaty gives the United
States control of the republics customs and
provides substantially for American guarantee that
the foreign debts will be paid.
If such wardship could stop logically with the Do
minican there might be but little objection to the
treaty But there least half dozen other south
ern republics in the financial dilemma as that
which confronts the Dominican infant
For instance, the good Offices of the United States
in saving Venezuela from angry foreign powers have
been requed with the bases ingrattude Insolent re!
fusa of President Castro to follow the plan Of adjust
ment marked for him has caused the foreign cred
itors again to clamor angriy for their money If the
precedent established by the Santo Domingo treaty
to be followed Uncle Sam would be perpetuay in hot
water in efforts to protect his southern wards,
The Monroe doctrine calls for no such medding by
the United States in the financial affairs Of the brood of
inantie republics The failure of the senate to ratify
the Santo Domingo treaty will be fair notice to that
effect ito all whom II may concern"

A LONGING

Twas a summer night in the long ago
In the land where the gentlest zephyrs blow:
And there as l lay my downy bed
And rested my weary aching head.
A mockingbird sat in my garden tree
And sang and sang and sang to me.
And the pain was banished. and / was freA
To drink in the sweet birds melody;
Then 1 slept as soundly till break of day,
As a weary mortal may
And ever since then when 1 sigh with PAIN
I long for that sweet birds voice again;
But never a note from that marvellous bird
NY listening ears since then have heard
And the bird in the cage on my sunny wall,
Cures never an ache or a pain at ALL
And sigh for the song of the throbbing thing
That scars through the wilds on its own free
wing
And lives but to sing and sing and sing.

GAS LAW GOOD
SAY OFFICIALS
BELIEVED MAYOR WILL MOT
VETO ORDINANCE
Councilman Harmon Declares Dome
Of the Most Important Featur.s
Of Measure VIII Go Into
Effect Soon

It is considered an assured fact, ac-
cording to statements made by tlose
familiar with the question, that MAJOR
McAleer will not veto the ordinaice
passed by the council last Monday rg-
ulating the gas, electric light and tee
phone monopolies in Los Angeles, AID
for which The Herald has fought 10
perslstently in the interests of the peo
pie. At the present time the ordinance
has not reached the mayor, but as he
has many times expressed himself ss
being strongly in favor of strict legis-
lation on these subjects, belief is gen
eral that he will sign It,
Every time the mayor has discussed
the question he has put himself on rsc1
ord as being in favor of all the p-o-
visions of the ordinance taking effect
at once, instead of putting off the date
at which the rate shall be fixed until
February, 1906. He says the ordinance
as 1t stands Is good, but thinls that
city could be set for some time in the
near future it would be improved.
Mayor McAleer said yesterday:
"The ordinance has not as ye come
to me, and then 1 will have tel days
in which to consider it, and intend to
investigate the subject thoroughly. AS
1t stands the ordinance is a fine meas
ure, but 1 think 1t would be impioved
had the time for fixing the rates been
set for ali earlier date"
May Supplement Bill
The question was also put to the
mayor as to whether or not in his orin-
ion the date for the fixing of the rates
by the city could not be fixed at an
earlier date by supplementary orli-
nance, but he said he was not really
at this time to take any action on tie
ordinance, as it had not come to hin
officially.
Councilman Percy Harmon said:
Before deciding to support this ordiI
nance which was drawn to regulate
the monopoies governing the three
public utilities, and which are almos,
absolute necessities to the citizens Of
Los Angels, I thoroughly canvassed
the ward which 1 represent and found
the people living in that ward over
whelmingly in favor of the ordinance
II believe they are pleased with it,
for it promises immediate relief to the
root of all complaint on the subject Of
gas, electricity and telephones.
Electric lights have not given the
satisfaction they should, and by the
provisions of the ordinance. and 1t is
one of the provisions which take effect
at once, the electric companies must
furnish a voltage which shall not vary
more than 8 per cent above or below
that marked on the lamps furnished by
the company.
"These questions of quality have been
the leading objection all along, while
the question of rates always was a
secondary consideration with the ma
jority of the people. The most inn
portant features of the ordinance go
into effect right away" ft1
