A GAMBLERS BLUFF

That scheme Of the San Pedro gamblers to establish
"a floating Monte Carlo at point on the high seas
immune from county and state Interference" interest
ing but not exactly unique. 1t thought out long ago
the Atlantic edge of the continent but it turned out
to be one Of those plausible schemes cannot be
made TO work.
The plan Of the San Pedro gamblers as reported is
to buy or build two large barges which are to be fitted
up with modern device for separating patrons from
their money" These barges to be "towed to point
in the two miles from Pedro and there
anchored outside the line of the states Jurisdiction"
II by such a scheme the gambling laws may be deAed
why not other laws we'll? If gambling concern may
be maintained two miles the shore line why not
dstiery? The county state and national governments
have, as combination ample authority regulate any
such establishment the gambling fraternity Of San
Pedro are said to be contemplating. The reported
scheme may be dismissed with the that It is

LOWER FARES TO BEACHES

All along the line of our seaside resorts chorus of
demand is heard for cheaper railway the routes
converging at Los Angeles At such leading points as
Long Beach, Ocean Park and Venice the demand is
growing clamorous The argument is advanced that
lower rates of fare would afford good profits to the
railway owners, traffic would be largely increased
The interests of property the beaches would
be subserved of course, by the greatly increased flow
of visitors from Los Angeles and other points.
II is unquestionable that lower rates on the electric
lines terminating at the seaside would greatly stimulate
travel. Whether it is possible to reduce the fares
materially is another question, which can be answered
accurately only by reference the accounts of the
traffic managers. The demand is familiar one in all
communities supplied with modern trans To the popu-
lar cry for lower fares like the scrptural idea of
bookmakng there is end"
The present roundtrip fare on the lines connecting
Los Angeles with the beaches is fifty cents. The most
strenuous demand from such points Long Beach
Venice and Ocean Park is for fiat reduction oneha
in the rate 1t is argued by officials property own
at these points that a twenty-five cent roundtrp
would double the of travel and thus be paying
proposition for the railway owners
Undoubtedly such reduction Of fare would have
potent influence in swelling the volume OF travel on
the beach lines It would be highly pleasing to the pub
lie and surely would good thing for all interested at
beach resorts But rairoadng is business matter and
the cold question is whether half in the present
fare, other large reduction is practicable bus
ness proposition.
The roundtrip distance between Los Angeles and the
coast points approxmates fifty miles The present fare
therefore is at the rate of about cent mile and
the equipment is in every respect the best and most
modern obtainabe.
There is talk Of opposition line from Los Angeles
to Long Beach and another Venice "Competition
is the life of trade" and nothing conducive to en-
larged railway travel low fares and high class ac-
commodation.
