PLAN FOR GREATER
CITY PROGRESSING
ORGANIZATION IS PERFECTED
FOR CAMPAIGN
Greater Los Angeles Not Only Possi-
BILE, but Scheme VIII Material
ly Reduce Taxes, Besides
Other Benefits

The commission appointed to work on
plans for Greater Los Angeles is
meeting with much encouragement.
The work is of necessity slow. Much
ground has to be covered and num-
ber of committees have to make ex-
haustive Investigations before report
ing to the commission.
A meeting held Friday night showed
that much enthusiasm is being ex-
hibited over the plan to make the
population of Los Angeles increase py
leaps and bounds with the annexation
of outlying territory that should be IN
cluded in the city limits, according TO
the advocates of the movement.
At this last meeting organization was
perfected and plans discussed for facil-
itating the work of the commission.
John W. Mitchell, one of the lead
ing advocates of the movement and
also much interested in the scheme
for annexing to the city all the terri
tory between Los Angeles and Holly
wood, said to a Herald representative
Yesterday that the commission is feel
ing very hopeful over the outlook. The
meeting Friday night was harmonious
one" he said, land we accomplished
a good deal of preliminary work ana
perfected the organization.
Taxes Will Be Lower
THE boundary committee Is dl Nol
and this will entail considerable time,
as so many different localities are to
be heard from. The commission soon
hopes to be able to present compre-
hensive plan to the people that Will
show on it's face that a Greater Los
Angeles is not only feasible. but that
taxes will be materially reduced ana
the residents of the outlying districts
will be assured of better protection
and enjoy privileges not at present
accorded to them.'
Those interested in the movement say
that the city limits as laid out years
ago were not planned for city the
size that Los Angeles is rapidly ap-
preaching. The population has IN
creased here within the last five years
beyond the most sanguine expectations
of real estate men and houses are
dotting the fields in every direction
beyond the city limits.
Many of the property owners are
anxious to have the limits of the city
extended to embrace the territory that
is now without fire or police protection,
and the claim is made by the advocates
of Greater Los Angeles that taxes Will
be materially reduced for the present
city tax payers, although the operat-
ing expenses of the municipality would
naturally be increased.
1t is believed that this is good
time to bring about the larger boun-
daries for the city, and important de-
velopments are soon expected in the
preliminary work of the commission.

Corporations Like individuals

1--WE all know that corporations are
like individuals. When they have been
put to considerable expense to win a
vital point in a case which involves as
much as that which has been gained
in the superior court decision, they are
usually inclined to hold on to all they
gain and to recuperate their loss in
litigation from the benefit which the
court gives them.
From what L hear the growers say
about new legislation in congress to
amend the points decided against them
in the superior court, they are in favor
of congress amending the law along
the lines laid down in the Wellborn
decree; law which will give the grow
ers the right to route their own pro-
ducts; to say where they should be
consigned and creating a rate which,
while it is just to the transportation
lines, will be equally so to the
growers.
81 do not find among the intelligent
orange growers any desire to do in
justice to the railroads. / find, on
the contrary, a positive expression of
desire to grant the roads living rates.
Ask for Profits
"But the growers ask that all profits
in their shipments shall not be eaten
up by transportation charges and that
they shall have voice, at least, If
they desire to express it, in the rout-
ing of their oranges. In this they eX-
pect to save time In transit and to get
the advantages of the demands of the
eastern local markets.
"In regard to what action would
help the growers it is of course. a
matter of personal opinion among those
Interested Some are in favor of radi-
cal, aggressive action, and others of
prosecuting their contentious along
conservative lines. The former class
wants the congressional delegation to
get in and fight for radical law
which will make the growers independ-
ent of the railroads. The latter class
desires a conservative campaign along
the lines of mutual benefits, the
thoughts being that the railroads can
not afford to destroy business which
is worth several millions of dollars
to them annually.
,"The meeting at the chamber of
commence tomorrow morning will de-
termine the line of action to be fol-
lowed by the citrus growers of South
ern California. l look for conserva-
tive, educational meeting which will
abound in practical results"

SOME ADVISE CONSERVATISM
No Desire to Do Injustice to Roads,
Merely to Get Rights

There is no cessation in the interest
manifested in the condition of affairs
with reference to the citrus fruit grow
ers of Southern California since the
decision of the supreme court in the
routing case. In conversation with
people the most interested in the ship
ping of citrus fruits, the general feel
ing prevails that a conservative stand
should be taken by the fruit growers
for their rights with the railroads,
with the plan of educating the people
up to amicability arranging for the best
interests of all concerned.
j. ]. Steadman, editor of the Cali
fornia Cultivator, one of the best in
formed on the subject before the peo-
pie, who was seen yesterday afternoon
at his Hollywood home, gave his YER
sion of the situation. He said:
At Roads Mercy
"It places the citrus growers of
Southern California at the mercy, alb
solutely of the railroads if the latter
elect to exercise the power granted

Wellborn decree the railways were
controlled, so to speak, by the choice
of the shippers. Consignments We're
made to points in the east, where the
demands were the greatest and prices
ranged in proportion to market con-
dition But under the supreme court
decision, the options of the growers as

possible concern to transportation

WORDS OF REVERENCE
FOR THE VIRGIN MARY
SECOND IN SERIES OF LENTEN
SERMONS
Rt. Rev. Bishop Conaty Says That lg-
norance of Catholic Doctrine Leads
People Into Error Regarding
Mother of Jesus

"The Blessed Virgin Mary was the
topic chosen by Rt. Rev. Bishop Con-
atty for the second of his series of Len
ten sermons yesterday morning at the
Cathedral of st. Vibiana.
The bishop dwelt at length upon the
part the Virgin has been assigned to in
the history of the Christian church and
the meaning of the Catholic doctrine
regarding her. He said in part:
''For the past three centuries there
has been much Misrepresentation and
misunderstanding of Catholic doctrine
concerning the blessed Virgin. Ignor-
ance and prejudice are some of the
sources of this misunderstanding.
Ignorance of the doctrine of the
church concerning Christ himself and
concerning Mary's relation to him,
makes easy the work of prejudice by
which misinformed people are led into
the error of believing Catholics accord
to Mary the tribute of worship which
is due to God.
Alteration Belongs to God Alone
1.-THE Catholic church teaches that
alteration belongs to God alone and
that Mary is a creature of his hands,
worthy only of our reverence. The
Catholic church honors the blessed
Virgin whom it calls blessed because
God honored her, when from among
all women he selected her to be the
woman to crush the serpent's head and
to become the mother of Christ in Civ
ing him that humanity by which he

when they shall forward their fruits.
They simply turn it over to the rail-
roads and they do with them what is
beneficial to the pool
What is the remedy? Well, in
answer to this question, do not pre-
tend to say what should be done.

LUTHERAN CHURCH
The Danish Lutheran People Have
Awarded John Peterman & Sons

The Danish Lutheran people of
Extra, through their building q com.
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Hans
p. Petersen, John Nelson, Oluf Jen-
sen, Abel Stone and P. L. Hansen,
have purchased the lots one block
north of the Masonic Hall and di.

coming ceremonies. The building g
will be twenty-eight feet wide and
sixty. three feet long, fitted with all
the modern improvements; a tow

FOUR SCORE YEARS
Mrs. Laura L. Bush Celebrated Her
Birthday at Home in Extra
Surrounded by Friends

On Monday, October %, 1905, Mrs.
Laura L. Bush, of this city, was
eighty years of age, and the day
was made a memorable one by a
constant stream of neighbors, who
came to offer congratulations and
best wishes to their friend who has
been among us for nearly fifty
years, and whom everyone revers
and loves for the kind minietra-
tions she has performed IN the past,
and now that she ia confined to her
room and unable to help herself,
these friends came to pay their re-
specte. We visited Mrs. Bush one
day last week and found her reclin-
ing upon here couch, but in a
cheerful mood, and while in con-
versation with her she exhibited an
English coin, fourpence, attach
ed to ribbon, which che had re-
ceived when six years old back in
New England, for being the most
times at the head of her class, and
she had preserved it all theae years
as pleasant reminder of her child
hood days. Mrs. Bush received
many congratulatory letters from
relatives and friends during the
few days following her birthday,
and by kind permission we are
privileged to print couple of them
written by people well known to
most of our readers, which but
echoes the sentiment of us all; and
closing with a poem written for the
occasion by her niece whose home
