My Lady fair, with solemn air,
Puts off her ball gown grand.
With modest mein she may be seen
With prayer book now in hand.
She goeth slow, no one would know
To watch her solemn face,
But what twas prayer engraven there,
No thoughts of silk and lace.
Could you but look, as in book,
Deep in her busy mind,
There you could see, 'twixt you and

Her spring gown planned quite fine.

HOW 1T LOOKS TO ONEWORKER
Citizen and Carpenter Opposed to
Some Features of the Bond Issue
and Gives His Reasons

LOS ANGELES, May 16-(Editor
HERALD: 1 am workingman, owning
small home, partly paid for, and am
much interested in the future Of Los
Angeles. I am anxious to finish paying
up for my little place, and then again
may want to sell 1t. don't want the
tax collector to bear down too hard
on me, and I would like to see property
keep on going up. 1 sold a house in
this town once and made $10O on it. To
come to the point, I would like to have
you print my views as to this bond
election.
1t seems to me that it has been too
easy to vote bonds in Los Angeles
sometimes. We ought not to be quite
so quick on the trigger, it seems to me.
Bonds have to be paid. There is bond
on my house, called a mortgage.
have got to pay it some time. l must
save money to do it. Because the day
of settling up is two years off, that
makes no difference. 1 have got to
settle. Seems to me some of the fell
lows so ready to vote for bonds forget
this point.
Now, Mr.. Editor, bonds must be paid
by assessing taxes on the owners of
property. The more bonds, the more
taxes. I feel that taxes are high
enough now. We must have sewers
and water and things like that but
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-17

there are some side orders that we can
get along without Let us keep the
taxes down as low as we can. That
VIII make our property more valuable
" man comes along TO buy Il. have
always noticed that low tax rate looks
mighty good to man who thinks OF
setting in town and buying property.
I don't believe in these storm drain
bonds. The torn drains have not
worked out right. NY front yard was
daubed all over with oil and water last
winter Just the same winter before.
Told me that storm drain would stop
the trouble but It didn't.
Why should we run i'm debt for every
thing2 Why should we vote bonds for
fire houses AMI police aub-stations?
Why not pay little as we go? Why
not save up something from the appro-
priations this year and pay for these
new things? / find that IL | want to
paint my house the best way is to save
UP the money and pay for the work
when IL Is done, instead of adding to
my indebtedness. If / should get out
a little bond issue of my own every
time I wanted something [ would soon
be swamped. | have managed to get
together a little property and have
done IL by being economical. Why is
not this good way to run city?
I am not q financier, but / have had
good schoolt1g in experience and OBJ
servation I know, Mr. Editor. that it
is foolish to keep getting in debt.
And how about that water? We need
that most of anything. II we add on
debt after debt for things we ought
to pay for as get them, won't the citys
credit get frayed around the edges?
I know lot of fellows who have
bought everything on the installment
plan. It seemed dead easy. 1t was so
easy that they bought lot of things
and got way into the hole. They can't
meet their payments now. SO they are
not buying anything more things on the
installment plan. They would IL they
could, but they can't. Nobody wants to
sell them things on the installment plan
any more. Their credit is gone.
/ am afraid the city will get left
when 1t comes to water bonds if it
goes on issuing bonds on top of bonds
for minor things. That is the way 1t
looks to me. Hope you will print this.

THE SALOON LICENSE TRUST

A specious argument is adduced in
favor Of the proposition to abolish the
200 limit of liquor saloons in Los An
geles. 1t is, as attributed to the mayor,
''the only way to break up the traffic
in saloon licenses" Furthermore, it is
claimed that removing the limit and
increasing the license will reduce the
number of saloons"
As licenses now are valued by their
owners at a minimum of $1,000 each, it
Is manifestly absurd to claim that an
increase of license tax would cause a
reduction in number The brewers and
other monopolistS of the liquor busi-
ness would shift the added license cost
to the shoulders of the saloon keepers,
and the latter, in turn, would shift it
to their customers by means of higher
prices, reduced measure or adultera-
ton.
1t is desirable, unquestionably, to
break the trust that now derives the
chief benefit from saloon licenses. But
in order to accomplish that end 1t is
not necessary to destroy the bulwark
that SO long has kept the saloons within
the 200 limitation.
The proper way to destroy the license
trust is by acting directly in accordance
with the claim of the license holders.
They refuse to be taxed on the market
value Of the licenses, on the ground
that the said licenses are not tangible
property. The contention is sound,
The licenses are merely evidences of
permission granted by the city to sell
liquors. Therefore annul each license
when a saloon ceases to exist at the
place designated therein, thus ignoring
the claim of a right to transfer. That
would break, or at least badly shatter,
the license trust.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-17

operate to 2 common end. Between
them Is interdependence.
Export Trade
Hereafter the bulk OF what CALI
fornia produces will go west instead
of east. This does not relate to de-
ciduous or citrus fruits, nor to sugar,
walnuts, raislns, nuts and olives.
Some vegetables will go east in the
early part of the year. but wheat and
manufactures will go westward. Los
Angeles will have advantage over
northern competitors in being nearer
to the shortest lines across the con-
tinent, such as Tehauntepec and Pan
anna. It has at present the advantage
OF the cheapest line within the ma
tional domain. From San Pedro to
Galveston the rail haul is but 1850
miles, while farther north it Is more
than 1000 miles. At Galveston there
Is direct water transportation to all
the Atlantic coast cities. 1t is pos
slble that time will be greater, but the
lower cost will more than offset It, Via
Tehauntepec the rail haul is less but
the difference In distance is more than
1900 miles, which will make the time
Of transit longer. BY the way OF
Panama the distance is greater by 5000
miles and the time will be longer, and
probably the cost will not be less than
via Galveston. Doubtless when the
Panama canal Is completed the bulk
OF the exports to the orient from the
Atlantic coast will be by that route,
and 1t will be the same with reference
to oriental imports for that coast
Be that as II may, exports from the
vast region lying east of Los Angeles
from Arizona. New Mexico. Texas
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and the
middle states east of the Mississippi
river, will naturally come to Los An
geles as the shorter and cheaper
route, and the same will be true in
respect to the imports from oceanic and
oriental countries that are consumed
in the immense regions specified
The cotton products Of the south will
as q matter of economy of time and
in the main be exported to the
orient through Los Angeles. Those re-
gions are growing faster than any
portion of the nation in production of
those commodities which the oriental
trade will in future demand. The i'm
mense populations of the islands OF
the ocean and in the eastern hem
sphere will demand American manu-
factures, and Los Angeles should strive
to supply their wants to the utmost.
To the Orient
So far as foreign commerce is con-
cerned Los Angeles has not been in a
position to take part in 1t. The atten-
ton OF the people has been given to
a great city and to a trade
that is local and circumscribed. The
city has now reached a status in popu-
lation and wealth where 1t can and
must extend it's enterprises into broad
er fields If 1t would take its proper
place among the metropoli of the
world that it's geographical position
and natural advantages seem to desig
nate it should.
All depends on the breadth of views,
the enterprise and energy of our
business men. The greatest
growth of the nation's foreign COM
merce from now on will be westward,
in Oceanica and the orient.

DRAMA CRITICISED BY wIRE1

The Chicago Tribune is trying an
innovation in dramatic criticism among
newspapers outside New York city. New
plays that prove successful are likely
to be held tight and fast in New York
for many months, so that when Chi
cago gets her first look at them thew
are an old story. The Tribune did not
like this.
1t has sent its dramatic critic, w. l..
Hubbard, straight to Broadwa ay to take
in all the first nights and successful
pieces and telegraph to his newspaper
just what he thinks of them. He has had
his say about Peter PAM and "The
Lion and the Mouse" and he seems to
think his fellow townsmen lost nothing
by seeing the western company in Mr..
Klein's piece instead OF the company
which has been doing it in New York
all season.
II the Tribune's idea becomes popular
among newspapers in cities outside this
great theatrical center of the country.
