"lf a Legislature were to adopt an
anthem there is nothing that would
prevent change in anthems every
time there is a change in the Legs
lature," says the Tribune. Well what
are we living in the. wild and wooeIy
west for? if our legislatures can't
whoop'er up once in awhile by chang
ing State anthems and even the face
of the map, we might as well live In
Philadelphia. If Hon. ID. II. Roberts
prefers Improve the Shining Mo
ments' to the state anthem selected
under the auspices Of the Tribune
why shouldn't he get his co-Iaborers
TO unite with him in having the an
them changed? If Senator Bamberg-
er prefers "Old King Coal Is a Jolly
Old Soul" to a Tribune prize anthem,
why not give Simon his preference?
Attorney General Breeder might have
a fondness for She was Bred in Old
Kentucky" and If he could give the
legislature a junket out across the cut
off and incidentally induce them to
make a change OF the State anthem to
his favorite, who should object? We
have frequent changes in the wind,
weather county and state officials
even in The Tribune there is an oc-
caslonal change so why not let legis-
latures give us a multitude of state
anthems? Thus the soprano could
screech the one she liked best, the
basSo profundo could break a lung on
the one which offered the greatest OPP
portunity for cavernous sound, and
the tenor could get red in the face
over his choice. Variety is the spice
of life and just why The Tribune
should get worked up over the mere
suggestion that the Legislature should
pass on the state anthem and per-
chance give us a new one every two
years is greater puzzle than why
Taft has gone to the Orient.

The Moor could not say, modestly,

ONE GOOD LEGISLATIVE ACT

No act Of the California legislature of 1905 became 1t
so admirably as the final act Of adjournment
It was performance of the session calculated
to elicit the heartes approval from all citizens of the
state.
There one feature of the proceedings just prior
to the adjournment, however, that should be noticed
because It affords the only amusement the people
have obtained from the grim record of legislative mis-
doings report of the wind-up states that there
addresses of felication the work accom-
pished during the session."
And following that bouquet of gall is the statement
that there great many gifts bestowed" mostly
by resolution and payable out of the treasury"
The most prohgate of all California legislatures
has just passed into history. The magnitude of the
profigacy may be inferred from the fact that its
pense account breaks all records by $45113 For in
stance the legislature of 1901 cost the state $161243
and that Of 1903 cost $196S72. The just defunct
tips the financial scale at $241.9s5
The last official act of the legislature fitting

$4,000 from the state treasury, in direct defiance of

prated 1878 and the assembly s3597 for the payment

How the average member Of the late legislature
can face his constituents squarely is mystery,
rather it would be mystery but for the amazing dis
play of gall that was evidence throughout the legis
lative session.

and F. Howard dealt out all the medt-
cine in the Angelic city in the pioneer
times. They are all recently dead, by
the way. In 1880 DR.. Wollweber bought
the lot on which the Bradbury building
now stands, corner of Third and Broad
way for $4,000. A great inquiry started
in for property so located few years
later and the doctor parted with his
! purchase to the father of Col. John
Bradbury for 100000 This property is
12O feet on Broadway by 1SO on Third
street, and, without the building, which
is modern and costly, is worth at least
$360000. Poor Wollweber thought he
was doing great things in his day, and
he undoubtedly did, but he lived to
realize the force of Mark Twain s
aphorsm that foresight is better than
hindsight.
In the seventies Judge e. H. OMel-
veny, the father of Henry W., had his
of Broadway, then called Fort street,
and Second. 1t was lovely pleasance,
full of flowers and other charming ad-
juncts. Soon along came big gam
bier from Arizona named Ryan, who
gave the judge what the Arizonan
looked upon as the big price of $500
for the place. Ryan took charge of
Agricultural park and bossed the races
there for a couple of years. He soon
got tired of the job and went to
Denver. Before going he sold the
IO'Melveny place to Mrs. Stephenson,
a daughter of j. NJ Griffith, for $4,000,
one hundred dollars less than he had
paid for 1t. Ryan made some money
in Colorado, but often had occasion to
reflect that if he had held on to his
pretty home he would have made ten
times as much. A handsome bank and
the Potomac block now stand on that
old homestead and the ground is worth
three or four hundred thousand dollars
And that reminds me how foolish
some people can be sometimes. When
old John Temple died he left an inn
mense amount Of real estate to his
widow, who went to live in Paris,
of which this original O'Melveny place
was part, leaving matters to be ad-
ministered upon by her brother-in- law,
A. f. Hinchman. This gentleman was
really accomplished and intelligent,
but, unfortunately for Mrs. Temple, he
had poor opinion of Los Angeles real
estate and very high one of that of
San Diego. With the idea of making
a spoon or spelling horn, Hinchman
sold the Temple block, the property on
which the Bullard block now stands,
much property on the other side Of
Spring street, and the Fort street
property, for next TO nothing, took the
money down to San Diego and invested
1t there at boom prices. The property
he sold in Los Angeles in those early
seventies Is now worth twenty times
the property he bought in San Diego
His administration OF the Temple es-
tate and real estate was a poor one
for the Paris-loylng widow.
