LOBBYISTS SHOULD BE SOUELCHED

The effectiveness of the recall in its first application
municipal affairs turned the heads of good many
mental lightweights in Los Angeles The turning down
out an Objectionable councilman was so easy that
the popular weapon seemed the class of
citizens in question: potent in municipal affairs
Samson's formidable weapon in warfare
Powerful the recall unquestionaby is effective
for good might be it's correlaves the initiative and
referendum there is danger that the whole three
may become suggestive only of Samsons exploit.
Nearly everything depends upon the way weapon is
welded. Richelieu is not made to say abstract
proposition that "The pen is mghtier than the sword"
That is preceded by the qualification Beneath the rule
of men entirely great"
None but Samson could have achieved such results
credited to him in the engagement with the
Phstnes In this day and generation is folly sup
pose that great results accomplished by the same
instrument which was effective when welded by the
mighty Israelite
Ever since the recall slew an Objectionable council
man in the Sixth ward small class of Los Angeles ct
has been inclined to make hobby of the recall
the initiative and the referendum The heat created by
the friction in the bouncing of alderman had
thoroughly cooled before coerie of lobbyists began to
skirmish for other customer whom to try the
municipal outfit. Half dozen public funconaries
threatened and the recall like the sword the
head of Damocles, suspended by single hair.
A chance to work the initiative and referendum was
eagerly sought by the lobbyists, and with certain i'm
ported aid it found in the nosaoon project That
subject dismissed here with this incidental touch as
the people of Los Angeles sick of it to the point of
No of the initiative and referendum for
this city except in of obvious necessity. 1t is
luxury that Los Angeles cannot afford otherwise.
1t is timely to call attention to this subject now
because these three elements in the municipal
affairs of Los Angeles eopardized by the lobbyists
who eager to ride them. The innovation is
obviously of great value if it be ntelligenty used The
experiment with the recall demonstrated that The
recent experiment with the initiative and referendum
however, proved the contrary. 1t proved that only
Samson should WELD Samsons weapon.
If this hobby riding of the initiative referendum and
recall is tolerated in where there is mo just cause
provocation," the people will be disgusted
with the whole system that there will demand for
its repeal by the next legislature good feature the
line of municipal reform may fall sacrifice to the
eagerness of woudbe Samsons to handle weapon that
they are mentally too feeble to WELD.
