OWL CAR BEGINNINGS

while 1t is recognized by The Herald.
as well as by the city at large, that the
owl cars, to be started next week. are
tremendous victory. yet it is equally
well understood that the system TO he
lnaugurated is only a beginning-the
opening wedge, as it were. That the
system will be extended as it's useful
ness and profit increase, goes without
saying.
Even as 1t is, however, the late cars
benefit a very large number of people.
Leaving out of the question the hun
dreds of pleasure seekers whose en-
joyment late cars will facilitate, con-
slider the good they will be to the men
who work at nights. Hundreds of
these men, bank clerks, walters, tele-
graphers, cooks, policemen, cashiers
In fact. of numerous occupations-must
now walk home, when, next week, the
l and 2 a. m. cars will give them ex-
cellent service. 1t is really to the
working people-those who ride on
these cars every night-to whom the
company will look for their real sup
port.
Being only beginning the service as
now installed will not be of much value
to the army of night newspaper work.
ers, whose labors do not end till well
on towards a. m. A car at that hour
would serve them inestimably. While
this is not offered now, The Herald is
confident that it will be in theScourse
of little while, as the night car sys-
tenn is extended and perfected to actual
use.
In the meantime, however, The Her.
aid, and the city back of it, recognize
that the main battle has been won;
that the cars for the main portion of
night workers will begin running Mon
day and that, once started, the sys-
tenn will be expanded until it cares
for every need.

NO WONDER, INDEED

No wonder that a stream of San
Francisco citizens, constantly increas-
ing in volume, is flowing into Los An
geles. Even the most optimistic San
Franciscans are succumbing under the
load of encouragement. One obstacle
after another has been confronted in
the effort to rehabilitate the city until
there seems to be scarcely a hope left
for early progress The patience of
business men and provident workers is
fast oozing out. The conviction is be-
coming general that it will take years to
restore prosperity to San Francisco
and men of energy and thrift cannot
afford to wait
Following all the other troubles and
discomforts endured by the people of
San Francisco, the stopping of street
car service appears to be "the last
feather on the camel's back" The cities
on the opposite side of the bay have
been the dwelling places of tens of
thousands of San Franciscos busy peo-
pie since the calamity last April All
that class, by reason of the stoppage of
street car service. must now trudge
wearily over the long distance between
the ferry and the business section. A
quarter of million people, in fact, are
forced to travel by the conveyances with
which they were equipped at birth or
else to pay heavy tribute to owners OF
other vehicles.
1t is because of this situation and the
seeming hopelessness of anything bet
ter in the near future that San Fran
cisco people are pouring into Los An
geles in quest of the comforts of home
and opportunities for undisturbed busl-
ness. House hunters and seekers for
business places. weary of waiting for
settled conditions in the northern city,
are swapping up quarters in Los An
geles as trout jump for flies. The pres
sure for business accommodation is
pushing the thoroughfares outward in
all directions, the demand for homes is
causing famine" in rentable houses,
and also greatly stimulating the mar
ket for salable houses and lots.
AS distinguished from San Francisco.
Los Angeles presents no obstacle to the
enjoyment of "life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" And SO far as
street car service is concerned. Los

JOLLY PARTY VISITS BEACHES
Pasadena Society Leaders Enjoy a
Novel Tour, Ending With Theater
Party In Los Angeles
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. 3.-Fifty leading
Pasadenans enjoyed a unique all-day
tour today, leaving this city early this
morning ON the special car El Pere-
grino and returning home tonight after
witnessing the vaudeville performance
at the Orpheum.
The party made Newport the OBJ
jective point OF their journey, then GO
ing on to Balboa and to Naples. At
Naples lunch was served at the Marine
club and then came a long ride in the
Naples launches Returning to Los
Angeles, dinner was taken at the Hol-
lenbeck.
Mary Norman, one of the performers
on the Orpheum bill. is a personal
friend of Secretary and Mrs. Coolidge,
which accounts for some OF the Pasa-
dena jokes which found theirsway into
that lady's monologue tonight.

PARDrn AND rHr WHALE

Tomorrow the Republican state con-

cations promise one of the livellest
gatherings ever experienced by the q.
o. p. OF California, II the convention
does not resolve Itself into a "Donny-
brook fair" imitation It will not be
for lack of belligerent elements. II Is
understood that there has been a brisk
demand for shillalahs recently in Los
Angeles and several other storm CEN

VIII Governor Pardee be Jonahised
by command Of the controlling influ-
ence in the Southern Pacific railway
company?
That Is the leading question that will
agtate the Santa Cruz gathering. II
Is a matter Of common report that a
fiat has gone forth to the effect that
the governor must be tossed over
board. It is known, also, that the gov
ernor will not accept the decision with
the complacency which Jonah is sup
posed to have evinced in similar cir
cumstances. on the contrary, It is
certain that the tossing attempt will
be attended by the most vigorous kick
ing ever witnessed outside of a mule
corral.
Gov. Pardee has labored for a Sec
ond term nomination ever since his
first touch of the executive chair. He
has sought promises and pledges to
that end in every county of the state,
'in season and out Of season." AS a
consequence he has a strong follow
ing that will stick to him like a porous
plaster when the time arrives to intro
duce him to the whale.
But the machine that controls the
Republican party of California has no
bowels of compassion" The governor
is doomed to "see his fondest hopes
decay as he makes the enforced walk
of the plank. 1t will take a hot fight
to put him on the plank, and there
is likely to be a whisk of many shilla-
lahs in the air, but the end will be
the presence of George c. Pardee in
the midst of the political whale.

DANCERS PAY THE FIDDLER

Every advance Of wages in the build
Ing trades, every curtailment in the
length of a work-day, means increased
cost of homes for the people who are
renters, and also for those who con-
template building homes of their own
II is palpable fallacy that high wages
and short hours, beyond a reasonable
level, are helpful to laborers as a class
For example, builders say It costs
from fifteen to twenty-five per cent
more to build cottage at the present
time than II cost two or three years
ago. This is because OF increased cost
In wages and material. Labor Is the
largest element of expense I'm the con-
struction of a home, and hence the
worker contributes, in his home build
ing. to make up the advance in wages
In the case of rentable property the
situation is practically the same. II
1t costs the owner of a tenement more
to build at the present time than il
did two or three years ago, he merely
shifts the load Of additional expense ia
the shoulders OF his tenants He suffers
nothing from the greater cost of con-
struction, nor does the builder or con-
tractor suffer, because he figures his
profit on the basis of rates for labor
materials, whatever they may be. Both
the contractor and the owner get their
pound OF hesh." anyway. In the game
with the renter they offer the choice
to the latter, Heads L win; tails you
lose"
One effect of the threatened further
increased cost of building, as a result
of higher prices for labor and ma
terials, is a marked decrease in pro-
jects for building tenant property in
this city. This fact, in connec-
ton with the extraordinary de-
mand for rentable homes, partly
attributable to the thrush from San
Francisco, has caused great scarcity
in available property of that class.
Agents find it impossible to supply the
demand. In every quarter of the city
house hunters are looking for home
places to rent, usually with most dis
couraging results. This, too, at a
period of the year when the tide of
visitors is at the extreme ebb. What
it will be later, when the tourist flood
comes, can only be imagined.
An advance in the cost of building
come back as boomerang, therefore,
to the worker who is a renter or who
is aiming to build a modest home of
his own. The boomerang does not
strike him only, however. as it affects
all other workers who are either rent
payers or home builders. And the eff
feet spreads to the sale values of prop
erty suitable for homes, scarcity caus-
ing an advance In purchase prices, in
response to the immutable law of
supply and demand. The market value
of such property increases in propor-
ton to the increased cost of building.
1t is we'll for workers in the building
trades to consider these facts seriously
Increased wages, Saturday half holi-
days and ostracisn of non-union labor
seem alluring as described by glib
tongued leaders who themselves toll
not neither do they spin"-anythlng
but yarns. But the worker cannot
dance without subsequently paying the
fiddler.
