DOWN WITH THE DUST

With the official astronomical Begin
ming of summer, Los Angeles is con-
fronted, as of old, with the dust nuis-
ance There are so few nuisances in
Los Angeles that this special and char
acteristic brand looms large in the es-
timation of citizens and visitors alike.
And the popularity of this particular
nuisance is that it's continuance is
needlessly tolerated all summer long,
and one summer after another, with no
more serious thought of it's suppression
than an Indian would give to a sand
storm.
1t is not even a problem. The whole
dust nuisance of Los Angeles could be
laid within a few weeks by the pur-
chase and application of 10000 barrels
of oil. And when it is remembered that
Los Angeles is in the heart of one of the
greatest oil districts in the world. where
oil is comparatively cheap and can be
delivered within a few hours, the Won
der is that the great and enterprising
municipality of Los Angeles should sit
back serenely and permit a constant
cloud of dust to soil it's houses, trans
form its beautiful foliage into the ap-
pearance of desert cacti, ruin clothing,
damage goods and injure health, and
not a voice or a hand raised in the city
council or the board of public works to
stop the gamut of the dust cloud.
But the tolerant people of Los An
geles are growing weary of this nuis-
ance. The Herald is daily in receipt
of letters of complaint from citizens
and taxpayers who want to know why
something is not done. Time has been
when sprinkling carts distributed water
throughout the city, but even this
temporary boon appears to have dwin-
died into insignihcance, save in a few
favored spots. But even in those spots
the service is inadequate
The necessity is for oiled streets and
the sooner the municipal authorities
realize this fact the better it will be
for their political prospects and their
own consciences.

SMITH HEARS FROM HONE


Congressman smith. who has been
posing IN the role Of a combative bull
before a locomotive, has heard from his
constituents. He says now: 81 am
anxious to compromise on the right Of
way for Los Angeles from the owens
river" Specifically, he is willing for
Los Angeles to have the easement over
public lands which would become for
felt afterahve or ten years If not used
for the purpose the city has in mind
Of building conduit from the owens
river to Los Angeles"
Mr.. Smiths present anxiety to "com-
promise" the issue Is creditable to his
discretion: but the condition he i'm
poses is not acceptable. Los Angeles
is not willing to make the value of a
$40. 100000 or s25,OO0,OO0 investment hinge
upon anything so unstable as an ease
ment. In its legal significance an ease
ment Is defined as "a right of accommo-
dation in another's land; such a right
in respect to lands as that of passage,
or of having free access of light and
air. which does not involve taking any
thing from the land
What Los Angeles requires, in its ap-
plication for right of way, IS absolute
ownership of the strip of land on the
line of the conduit. For that strip the
city is willing and ready to pay what
ever a fair appraisement may call for.
Moreover, the city will stipulate that
it's use of the conduit strip shall not
be detrimental to any interests contigu-
Gus thereto. But no proposition for a
right Of way with string to it" can
be considered.
Congressman Smith is veering around
to a common sense position on the
question, and probably his "compro-
mise" will be elastic enough to meet the
has "seen great light" since his first
obstinate avowal that he would not
bulge from his determination to stand
by the interests of Inyo and Kern
That avowa, was buncombe,
of course, for nobody desired to 90 any
thing of sacrificial Lind. But he was
reminded, in no uncertain language.
that the two counties named are only
part of his constituency and small
part at that, and that most of his own
favors the Owens river
The light that broke upon the vision
of Congressman Smith came in tele-
grams and letters of protest from the
other counties of his congressional dis
trict, namely, San Bernardino, Santa
Barbara, Orange, Riverside Ventura,
San Diego, San Luis Oblspo and Tulare.
From all Of these counties. except pos
sibly the two most northern ones, the
congressman received notice that his
antagonism of Los Angeles was re-
buked by the mass of the people. Even
from Kern and Inyo counties. as re-
him.
The consensus of public sentiment, as
thus shown, indicated that the whole
eighth congressional district is sub
stantially of one accord in favor of
giving Los Angeles all it asks for in a
right of way from Owens river.
If Congressman Smith does not wish
to see his political fences shattered be-
yond the possibility of repair he will
now transform his compromise" into
a graceful concession of the Los An
geles requirement.
