THE GAS MONOPOLY
Housekeeper Who Believes There
Should Be Competition

LOS ANGELES, June 16.-(Editor
Herald): Is there no justice left in the
administration of our city's affairs? Are
we citizens and taxpayers to be mere
tools in the hands of our servants, the
public officials?
I am thankful that I (being a wo-
mani didn't have anything to do with
electing as my representatives people
who utterly refuse to pay any atten-
tion to the citizens interests, in looking
after the Interests of the city, (Which
has come to mean the gas monopoly.
Why can't we citizens be permitted to
enjoy competition in gas supply? If
want to use Lowe gas why am to be
subject to continual annoyance by the
solicitors of the old monopoly and then
have the city use its legal authority to
force me to discontinue patronizing the
new company to try to drive them out
of business? If that is not worse than
boycott I'd like to know what 1t is.
Talk about individual rights" I feel
that my individual rights are much In
jeopardy when I cannot be permitted
to buy my fuel in whatever market I
wish. How long will it be before we
kousekeepers in Los Angeles will have
to buy our groceries and dry goods
from one concern, Ono matter how in
ferior in quality and have to pay all
the costs, too, of bringing about such a
monopoly?
Talk about political rottenness in
municipal affairs in Philadelphia, st.
Louis. Chicago, ETC., they will not be in
1t when 1T comes to Los Angeles, if
such state of affairs is permitted to
continue.
am not at present using Lowe gas
for 1 live beyond their mains, but a
neighbor to where / formerly resided
is nearly prostrated on account of the
fright she experienced at the legal"
proceedings being taken against her as
patron of the New Independent COM
pany, just because they are refusing to
pay an unjust and discriminating
license that was SO decided nearly
year ago.
1t seems that not only must we citi-
zens pay for bad gas but we must pay
costs of suits to enable bad gas COM
pany to continue it's monopoly over us,
and force us to buy of them, or go with
out.
The case would look almost hopeless
in the face of the actions which the
city officials are taking, were it not
that our weapon of the recall" has
been effectively tried, and If necessary,
the best interests of citizens will be
represented no matter how many
heads have to fall.

The modern toyshop is a veritable fairyland for the small folks; and sad, indeed, must the grown-up's state of mind be that cannot enjoy a visit to the toy shop, too, just now.
 Doubtless, just like the oldtinIe cir GUS jokes, the elders take the juven iles along as an excuse to see the show, all the time protesting that 1t is only for the sake of the young sters that they are here at all, and trying to pose as martyrs to family duties while they are really having as much of the good time as the most enthusiastic juvenile of them all.
