ELECTRIC CAR FREIGHTAGE

The much controverted question concerning freight
carrying in the city electric railways should be set
tied judicially. The mayor has quite properly taken
steps to have it settled. The issue becomes
important in proportion to the increase of freghtage
business the city lines, and there will be tendency
to increased friction between railway and municipal
management long the issue is in abeyance.
The point of the issue involved appears to be
whether the operation of freight the local
trio lines, conducted, constitutes what the law
would adjudge to be nuisance. AS stated in yester
days Herald There is at city ordinance
covering the operation of freight within the city
limits but the state code declares any unlawful obstruc
tion Of streets is public nuisance
So far as the merits of the case are concerned as
viewed from the nuisance standpoint, the affirmative
position looks weak to persons familiar with the sub
ject. Surely the neat provided for freightage
(almost exclusively farm produce) less amenabe to
the nuisance charge than the farm wagons that haul
such produce to market And there be question
that the produce is transported in the and delv-
cred the market in much better condition than is
possible by conveyance in country wagons
But let the question be settled without unnecessary
delay. Nearly all the business interests of the city
record in favor of allowing the produce freight
age to continue under present conditions. The Herald
accepts that judgment conclusive from the business
standpoint But if 1t is illegal it must be suppressed.
That question is within the judicial purview should
be easily decided.

TAFTS ATTACK ON THE WEST

Secretary Taft, President Roosevelts understudy,
has been telling his Ohio friends some things that are
Of especial interest TO the people of the Pacific states
The ponderous ofcia lid holder is anything but
plimentary to the citizens this part of the country
He TO be imbued with the idea that the coast
states intensely Republican that the admins
traon can AFFORD at their expense to boost powerful
interests in the east that are closely allied with the
powers that be.
In the Of an address at the Miami university
commencement Secretary Taft alluded to the Chinese
exclusion act thus.
Ought throw away the advantages which we
have by reason of Chlna's natural friendship for us
and continue to enforce unjusty law . d.
simply because afraid that may for the
time lose the approval Of certain unreasonable and
tremely popular leaders of California and other
states?"
The California leadership in favor of maintaining the
Chinese exclusion act unquestionably is extremely
popular" The people of the Pacific coast states and of
the mountain states we'll all seadfast in opposi
ton to any nfracon of that act. In this opposition
there is political other distinction whatever.
Public sentiment is unanimous practically, in favor Of
keeping the immigration gates closed against the
hordes Of Chinese that would swarm on this coast If
they were left ajar
The people these states what the policy out
lined by Secretary Taft They have had ample
experience with the peril Of Chinese immigration They
know the Chnaman thoroughly-hs social degradation,
his physical debasement and his moral rottenness The
people of the know nothing of these characteristics
and 1t Is charitable to assume that Secretary Taft
knows but little of them.
For the sake of curying favor with the great trust
magnates, who to control the vast trade which
China is unfolding, the administration is aiming
to make initial fracture in the exclusion act. The
president has just admonished the secretary of
and labor to consrue the exclusion act very lib
eraly-to bend without breaking 1t. Secretary Tafs
frank language indicates, however that the ulterior
purpose of the administration is either to repeal the
clusion act greatly to modify it, The secretary says
in fact:
"Is it not the duty Of members of congress and Of
the executive to disregard the unreasonable demands
of portion of the community deeply preudiced upon
this subject in the far west?" etc.
Deeply prejudced" because of never-tobeforgotten
experience The 'far west" is a unit against any tam
pering with the exclusion act, the only safeguard
against overflow of Chinese nastiness

LOS ANGELES ART GALLERY

The project for securing permanent art gallery in
Los Angeles energetically pushed by the womens
clubs recalls address delivered in this city several
weeks ago. The speaker the secretary the Uni
versity of California extension his theme
was art. He said:
This state, feel assured has great future in art
for already, north and SOUTH there has been
great art movement It also abounds in instructors
the achievements thereby surpassed any other
state in the Union"
In considering the of this exceptional fond
for art in this region the speaker said further
THE for this is hard to determine but |
have come to the conclusion that the climate here
admits of leisure there is therefore greater
tendency for the enjoyment of the good things of lfe
Italy is the recognized center of the world and
Southern California has been appropriately called the
Italy of the western hemisphere. If climatic conditions
accountable to any extent for the development Of
art in Italy, similar results may reasonably be ex-
pected here. However that may be- there is ques-
tion that the public standard of appreciation in
Los Angeles is exceptionally high
Having attained the stature of city marking a
population of 100000, and in view of the widespread
popular taste for it surely is high time for Los
Angeles to establish at least the nucleus of permanent
collection of works of art It takes years of course
to say nothing of money for the realization an art
however. had modest beginnings, The present is the
time for making such beginning in this city, and the
women who have undertaken the noble work should
have not only the sympathy but the material aid
of this art loving community.
