MERELY A SYMPTOM

Citizens Of the Thirty-sixth senatorial
district are surprised and shocked to
find that their senator, Benjamin w.
Hahn, has been guilty of soliciting and
receiving passes from the Southern
Pacific railroad, in violation of the con-
stltution and Of his oath of Office.
1t appears that the senator obtained
from Boss Walter Parker all the trans
portation he desired for himself and
family and that he did not hesitate to
express his wishes in that direction to
the fullest extent.
How many more members Of the leg
islature have done the same thing can
easily be guessed. The people have per-
sisted in electing Southern Paciec
agents and emissaries to office-espe-
cially the legislative offlces-and such
agents and emissaries have, of course,
proceeded to collect "all that was COM
ing to them"
If you continue to elect railroad"
men to office they will continue to serve
the railroads and receive railroad COM
pensation. Just as lorg as the people
remain Indifferent to their own in
terests and quiescently obey the orders
of their political bosses, just so long
will the persons chosen by the bosses
be subject only to those who selected
them.
Soliciting and receiving favors from
railroad companies, in violation of the
organic law, is merely the symptom of
deadly political disease which the
voters and taxpayers must eradicate
and drive out, or else stand convicted
of particeps criminis in violations of
the law. 1t is a waste of words for
voters to go about expressing virtuous
indignation over the consequences of
their own folly. When they willfully,
premeditatedly and deliberately elect
to Office the agents and emissaries of
railroads what right have they to ex-
pect honor, honesty, decency and ef-
ficient service?
We are now concluding a campaign
in which it has been fully demonstrated
that the nominees of the Republican
machine are for the most part, merely
the hired men of railroad and other
corporate interests. How many of
those very men will be elected? We
hope none. But it's for you to say, Mr..
Citizen.

CLAIM EVERYTHING" POLICY

At Republican headquarters in this
city it is claimed, according to the
party organ, that "the county as a
whole will show four Gillett votes to
every Bell vote, on the completion of
the canvass"
Then why is the whole machinery Of
the Republican party in this county
working twenty-four hours day, as it
never worked before, in behalf of its
state and county ticket? Gillett will
have a clear plurality north of the Te-
hachapi, the Republican leaders claim,
and all the Southern California coun-
ties, as also claimed, are sure to give
him substantial pluralities.
This policy of claiming everything" +"
regardless of facts, figures or circum-
stances, is as old as the Republican
party. That party never takes chances
in enjoying a jubilant election shout.
The habit of Justify shouting about vic
tory before the election seems satisfy
ing, even if there is no opportunity for
post-election shout.
AS Idller VI IdClJ HOWSNHl, llS ISe-
publican leaders are shouting to keep
up the courage of their followers and
to stop further desertion to the Demo
cratic ranks. These leaders know that
thousands of Republicans in this county
have determined to vote for Bell and
to cut the whole state and county ma
chine ticket. 1t is because of alarm al
this situation that the "claim every
thing policy is so loudly in evidence al
this time.
The normal Republican plurality ir
this county will be reduced in proper.
tion to the number OF Republican anG
other Independent voters who this yeal

than the Republican ticket. The norma

there was an excess OF $3.50 Republican

STONE MEN NOW, PROPOSE
COMPROMISE AMENDMENT
WILL ASK COUNCIL TO SAVE
THEIR INDUSTRY

Fighting for their industry, the ar
tiflclal stone men of Los Angeles eX-
meet on Monday to make their final
legislative battle for hollow blocks.
They want a proposed prohibitive
clause omitted from the new building
ordinances, for If it stays It VIII IN et-
feet bar the use of the hollow concrete
and other blocks from exterior and in
terior exposed walls.
The block men will again face the
united opposition of the special COM
mission which studied concrete and
kindred questions for the council, but
they mean to appeal to the councll-
men to save an industry with a quar-
ter of a million invested from a most
serious blow. All they ask is that the
use of the blocks be permitted, leav-
ing the tests and other safeguards to
insure safety of buildings to the Wis
dom of the lawmakers.
Brick Men Behind 1t
1t has been charged that the COM
mission having the ordinance in mana
is unjustly prejudiced against the hol-
low block in the interest of the brick
men.
1t is known that one or more mem
bers of the commission have used them
in their own buildings and the puz-
zle to the artificial stone men is why
it's use under the present building Or
dinance when it was good enough for
buildings which they themselves own.
The ire of the artificial stone inter-
ests was at first directed against Ar
chitect G. +. Whittlesey of the COM
mission, who is said to have used the
blocks in big buildings. 1t developed,
however, that he opposed the action
of his brethren in insisting on the
clause. Architect Parkinson, another
member of the commission, has also
used the blocks.
Old Structures Not Affected
The question has been raised whether
buildings already erected, in the con-
struction of which the hollow concrete
block has been used, will be con-
demned Building Inspector Backus
thought not, as he doubted whether
the city could order their removal
No attempt has been made to con-
denim frame buildings within the gre
limits which were built before the pres
ent limits were established, and such
instances are parallel.
If the ordinance committee stands by
it's guns it is probable that the city
council will accept it's judgment as to
retaining the section prohibiting the
use of hollow concrete blocks in new
buildings
The stone men will propose an
amendment which it is thought will be
satisfactory to all concerned.
If it is lost 1t may ruin the industry
here with it's 300 employees and four big
establishments making the blocks.

TRIcKING BUSINESS MEN

TRlCKlNG BUSINESS MEN
The few Republican organs that are
supporting James N. Gillett for gov
ernor are engaged in frenzied efforts to
show that because Theodore A. BelPs
nomination for governor by the Demo-
Gratis was lndorsed by the Union Labor
party, therefore Bell Is an unsafe man.
The position taken by these organs
is so silly that II hardly calls for seri-
Gus consideration. denial or explena-
ton. Yet, in Difference to the good
opinion Of the business men of Cali
fornia who might unthinkingly be in
fiuenced by these wild Trades, Mr..
Bell has himself come forward with
statement showing the utter absurdity
Of the allegations.
And he has sufficiently shown that
the Union Labor party Endorsement
came TO him absolutely unsolicited and
that no promise or pledge was given
in return except the manly declaration
that in the event of his election "every
interest and every class should have a
square deal" Certainly no honest man
can find fault with that attitude. 1t is
just such a pledge as Theodore Roose-
velt would have made, as he has made
on other occasions-just such declar-
alton as any manly courageous, honest
man would make.
Abe Ruef, acting in the interest of
his friend Gillett. urged the Union
Labor party not to indorse any of
the nominees for governor, and Mayor
Schmitz particularly appealed to the
Union Labor party not to indorse Bell.
But in spite of those worthless, the
Union Labor party acted for itself and
rendered it's Endorsement to Bell with
out pledges or strings of any kind.
"I was indorsed by labor" says Mr..
Bell, mot through Ruef and Schmitz
but in spite of them. The wage-earners
of California deeply resented the Her
rin-Schmitz deal at Santa Cruz"
Mr.. Bell says further and finally:
81 repeat now what have frequently
asserted upon the rostrum, that labor
has exacted no pledges from me, save
and except square deal, md If am
elected 1 expect to treat labor and
cnpital upon equal terms and give them
shall not become the representative of
any special class. If called upon to
choose between victory with subserv-
fence to any class or interest, and de-
feat with independence, 1 would prefer
the latter"
Can any business man, any capital
list or any special interest object to that
declaration, or object to Mr.. Bell be-
cause these are his sentiments? If so, |
then there is nothing more to be said,
and the Democratic party. with Mr..
Bell, is willing to court defeat upon
that platform.
There are certain principles that are
fundamental in our form of govern
ment One of them is justice and fair
ness to all classes, no matter how
great or how humble. The American
people are opposed to unfairness to the
rich, as we'll as unfairness to the low
liest and poorest of citizens. Mr. Bell
has pledged or promised nothing more
than to support the fundamental prin-
ciple of fairness to all interests.
And isn't that right? Isn't that truly
and thoroughly American? Mr.. Bell
believes in "the square deal" So does
Mr.. Roosevelt. Don't you?
