MEETING OF CITIZENS TO-DAY

Prominent merchants and business
ers, to be held this morning at 10
o'clock in the chamber of commerce,
to devise ways and means whereby the
deadlock between Mayor McAleer and
the city council over the appointment
of board of public works may be at
once broken.
Citizens are amazed and dismayed
at the lack of intelligence and patriot
ism on the part of some of their mu-
nicipal officers who have the determine
ing of this question in hand. The
council takes the position that the
mayor has not yet named three men
who are competent to manage the
great interests that will be placed in
the hands of the board of public works,
and in order to secure such names 1t
has proposed to the mayor several
methods by which other names .may
be obtained for confirmation. The
mayor, stubborn and unyielding, has
refused all offers of compromise and
does not seem to understand or appre-
ciate the fact that crisis is impend-
ng-especially with respect to the
Owens river water project-and that
the most serious consequences are now
being confronted because of the fail
ure to select a board of public works,
1t is not a question of politics.
1t is not a question that should in
volve individuals.
1t is a municipal question-one of
the greatest and most serious that has
ever been presented to the city of Los
Angeles.
Those who have called the meeting
for this morning are men of the larg-
est property interests men who have
no political axes to grind, but who
are alarmed at the situation and real
ize the fact that something must be
done-and that quickly-to secure a
board of public works. They hope to
find some method whereby the dead
lock may be broken between the
mayor and council and thereby remove
the serious danger in which the future
of this city has been placed by the
peanut politics of those entrusted with
municipal affairs.

cALlFoRNrA's GOLD MONEY

United Gtates Treasurer Treat. in his
admirable address to the bankers at
the chamber of commerce, expressed
surprise and a measure OF Indignation
at the sentiment he found IN California
against paper money. He said IL fairly
made his blood boil when he heard the
certificates Of the government referred
to as rags"
Mr.. Treat shouldn't take the subject
so to heart. When he investigates a
little farther and deeper he will make
some discoveries that should materially
change his opinion of the California at
t.tude on this question.
He should recall, 70 begin with. that
this state is the pioneer gold producing.
section of the United States, having
given to the world more Of the precious
metal than all the states combined.
California is still a gold producing
state, second only to Colorado last
year.
For more than half a century gold
has been the medium Of exchange in
this state. From gold dust to gold coin
the people of California have adhered
to the yellow metal as their actual
form Of monetary circulation until it
has become with them matter of state
pride-a brand or mark of state aris-
tocracy, If you please. For while other
states are compelled to use notes and
certificates based upon the gold or sill
yer of the west, California can afford
to circulate the basic stuff itself.
In this there is no disrespect in
tended and no reasonable utterance
allowed, except in jest, in colloquial
reference to the rag money" Of the
nation, for that form Of money is
largely based upon California gold, so
scarce elsewhere and so gloriously plen-
tiflh here.
The time may come of course, when
Californians will abandon the basic
money for the token, but Treasurer
Treat will pardon us, we feel sure, in
the sentiment of state pride and state
prosperity that make the Golden State
slow to abandon the sign manual of it's
glory and strength.

GOVERNMENT GROUND SOLID
Expert Applies Weights and Finds
Site for Federal Building
Stands All Tests

The work of boring into the ground
of the new postoffice site to determine
whether there are any soft spots is
almost completed and j. w. Roberts,
the government expert in charge. stated
yesterday that the result so far has
been entirely satisfactory.
Eleven holes varying form twelve to
thirty feet in depth have been drilled
and pieces of pig iron to the total
weight of twenty-four tons have been
placed on a space four feet square to
ascertain if the ground would stand
the tremendous weight of the post
office without sinking.
Practically no results were obtained
from the application of weights, and in
the opinion of Engineer Roberts the
land is admirably adapted to the pur-
pose for which it was secured.
At a depth varying from twelve to
eighteen feet oil shale, an exceeding
ly hard sort of rock, was encountered
and this is taken as favorable indi-
cation.
The result of the Investigation of
Mr.. Roberts will be sent by him to the
architects in Washington who have
charge of the construction of govepn-
ment buildings, and the plans will be
made accordingly.

OUR SLUM DISTRICT

The Municipal league is certainly
right in it's contention against slum
district in Los Angeles, and it's request
that steps be taken to eradicate the
semblance of one already started should
be acted upon vigorously and at once
This city is no place for such conges-
ton as exists and disgraces so many
municipalities and it should not be
allowed here.
That such a district exists in embryo
Is well known to those familiar with
the underworld here. The Rev. Dana
last fall. sounded warning along this
line. His work in the poor regions
showed him the signs and the influx of
very cheap labor of a low class indi-
Gated to his practiced eye the formation
of settlement in every way undesir-
able That his predictions were true
the leagues petition verifies.
True, the incipient slums here are
nothing like the fostering pools Of
viciousness and vice that contaminate
SdSleIl Cillco. we nave none VI lHe
huge rookeries that there swarm with
dirty, disgusting poverty and outlawry.
Our slums consist largely of poor
shaclSs. wornout tents and miserable
novels. They are crowded into a small
area and are vastly overpopulated but
the very nature Of things prevents the
exclusion of the glorious sunlight. here
SO abundant, and the rich ozone, ma
ture's own disinfectant. AS a result,
there has been as yet no out break Of
disease to alarm, and the villalny
which prospers only in the dark is not
implanted in them. The saving grace
of the best climate ON earth prevents
the worst evils that the usual slum
breeds.
But in these safeguards also lies
great danger. II Is SO easy TO live In
Los Angeles; the weather is SO balmy,
and neither heat nor cold interferes. that

MISS TARBELL AND JOHN d.

That gentle lady of the trenchant
pen and the Unsuitable "why?" Ida M
Tarbell, now temporarily "ln our
midst" when asked by reporter for
The Herald what she would do, did she
chance to meet John d. Rockefeller,
promptly replied that she would "try
to make him talk to her" Whereat,
doubtless, a smile will wreathe the face
of every reader, as it did that of the
inquisitive reporter.
But why not? why shouldn't John D.
Rockefeller talk? Is this our Caesar
grown so great that he refuse to give
utterance to his thoughts to the COM
mon herd? Wherein doth lie this great
ness, that procures for him the
sanctity of silence in chatterbox
world?
Rockefeller has only one claim on
earth even to presumptive greatness
money. Every whit of fictitious awe,
every iota of voluntarily granted ex-
clusiveness, every semblance of exemp-
ton from the ordinary routine of life,
its duties and it's obligations, rest upon
the mere possession by him of more
money than is held by any other one
individual. Because he thus owns more
than his proportion of this worlds
goods, no matter how ill obtained, the
people at large without question admit
that John d. Rockefeller is clothed
about with a certain reserve which
exempts him from the usual require
ments Of common humanity. He may
talk at will; he may keep silence, and
all the powers of courts are Inadequate
to open his lips when once he padlocks
them.
But Miss Tarbell, once and for the
first time, did break the monotony of
this latter-day sphnx's reserve. Stung
into rage and whipped into bleeding
beneath the lash of her burning sem
tences, armed with the invincible truth,
at her belaboring of the Standard Oil
octopus-and Rockefeller is merely its
incarnation-the rock-ribbed caverns of
26 Broadway broke into words. For
the first time in history, Rockefeller
beloved in defense of himself.
If this doughty, if feminine, Luther
of crusade for business righteous
ness and reformation could do all this
with mere cold type, what really might
not happen should she. meet the i'm
mobile Rockefeller face TO face? She
would try to make him talk she
says. She is all too modest, is Miss
Tarbell, in this, her season of holiday;
if she should meet John D., the eager
world may rest assured that there
would issue from his lips a torrent
of words and flow of language COM
parable only to that other flood when
Moses smote the rock at Mount Horeb
and doubtless one dspleaslng in tone
and quality!
We do not know that Ida Tarbell
will ever meet John d. Rockefeller,
but for the sake of an eager and eX-
pectant world we sincerely hope she
may. 1t would be quite worth while
But at the same time how, for once,
we would be forced to sympathi with
the oily John!

MAYOR REJECTS
COUNCIL PLAN
SENDS VERBAL MESSAGE TO.
THIS EFFECT
still Insists on Submitting List OF
Names as Members of New
Board of Public
Works

"The council has done all it can to
meet the mayor half way on the board
of public works. We have submitted
three propositions to compromise and
all have been rejected by the mayor
We can do no more We have no more
suggestions to make. Now let the peo-
pie come forward and suggest some
means to cut this Gordian knot"
This declaration was made by Coun-
Gilman Smith yesterday afternoon, in
tone that indicated that he was al
most in despair that the question would
ever be solved. He made this statement
when, at the adjourned meeting of the
council held yesterday afternoon, Mayor
McAleer sent a verbal message to the
council, through his secretary, declin-
ing to agree to the counciPs proposal
made to him the day before. This
proposition was that the council meet
unofficially in the committee room and
the mayor send in as many names, one
at a time, as he chose The council
then would pick three men whom they
would agree to confirm as q board of
works and meet in open session and
confirm them.
The verbal message of the mayor yes
terday was to the effect that he would
not acquieSe i'm this scheme and would
continue to submit names, three at a
time. until the council had confirmed
a board.
List Submitted Fourth Time
Accompanying this verbal message
was written one submitting for the
fourth time the names of w. NJ.
Humphreys, l.. L. Robinson and IL. T.
Perkins. For the fourth time this list
was rejected by the council.
This action of the mayor in sub
mitting names that had three times
previously been refused by the council
brought Councilman Smith to his feet
with a startling statement.
Until we get a board of public works
in which the people have confidence,
one that is capable of handling the mil
lions involved in the owens river prop
ostion, there will be no more bonds
asked for, for the water; without the
bonds there will be no Owens river
brought to Los Angeles. We must
maintain this stand if it takes
all summer. The people do not
want these men whom the mayor
has named and as the representatives
of the people we cannot confirm them.
We have done all in our power to break
this distressing deadlock, but the mayor
must meet us half way. He has started
on line of action that will work a
serious detriment to the interests of the
city, but all we can do is to refuse to
confirm until the right board is SUBJ
mitted to u.s."
