Rate Bill Again Delayed.

The rate bill has been held up
again. The railroad senators have
baked the efforts of the admin
istration and there is not chance
of vote being taken until the
middle of May. Reports from
Washington say that the senate
is all at sea over the proposed
law and that this state of affairs
is being actively promoted by
coropration interests. 1t is fur
ther limited by this plan they hope
to tire out the Administration.
Such condition is to be regret
ted, for the measure deserves con-
sideration. The senators who are
supporting it have repeatedly
asked that vote be taken, but
have SO far failed to secure any
prospective advancement. AS a
result talk of adjournment before
the first of June has ceased.
While the senate is expected
to be and has ever been a DELHI
crate body, the way certain SEN
ators have succeeded in postpon-
ing action on the rate bill does
not add to the dignifed record
of the upper house. In this in
stance the plan has ceased to be
one of deliberation and is fast be-
coming one of bullying by those
who are identified with the rail
roads. Such course is not on
ly disappointing to the president
and his co-workers, but to the
people throughout the country
who favor a rate law.-South

Democrats Elect Delegates.

The Democrats of Center
township had a regular old-fash-
ioned Democratic convention
Saturday afternoon. There was
a general row, much swearing
and for time it looked like there
would BIZ a rough and tumble
hight.
O'Keefe accused Metsker and
others of packing the convention
and declared that the chairman,
James A. Gilmore, was not a
Democrat in 1896 or 1900, but
there was no blood shed and at
ter order was restored delegates
were chosen as follows:
To the state convention, p. O.
Jones, VIM. Every, Charles Kel-
lison and ]. A. Gilmore. To the
congressional convention, Al
Wickizer, Hoy L. Singrey, Theo-
dore Cressner, John R. Jones,
Carl Reynolds, John Woodbury.
and John Brock.
The judicial delegates were
named by acclamation and are as
follows: Harry Unger, Ben Sey-
bold, Ed Borden, Henry Roberts,
Mayer Altman, John H. Harris,
and VIM. H. Matthew.
]. A. Molter being the only
candidate fro prosecuting attor-
ney, there was no contest for
delegates to the judicial conven-
ton.
The congressional convention
has not been called and will prob
ably not be held before July or
August.
Metsker's fight for state dele
gates was made because he fears
that William O'Keefe will be
nominated for state treasurer.
While Mr.. O'Keefe is not a
candidate, it seems that Demo
Gratis in every section of the state
are demanding his nomination
and if he decides to be candi-
date there seems to be no doubt
that he will have large major
ity of the delegates and the solid
vote of Marshall county will be
cast for him.

Chicago has fewer strikes now
than at this time Of the year for
many years. Indications are that
the reasonable, conservative men
in labor unions are assuming con-
troll, and that hotheads and graft
ers will be relegated to obscurity,
and will lose their influence.
When this comes to pass the un-
ion will rise to its natural impor-
tance in the world of social econ
omies.

4A4S "a R<Soo&4On VI vyc6x@11s
A correspondent writes asking:
What is this new doctrine advo-
Gated by Mr.. Roosevelt CT limit
ing the amount of w>A;;1 q man
may accumulate? Is it nor against
the spirit of the supreme court
decision on the income tax tried
ten years ago?'
The inquirer mistakes the nat
ure OF the presidents suggestion.
1t does not touch the question
of income or income tax IN any
way nor does it contemplate plac-
ing any limit on the amount an,
individual may accumulate, but
only on the amount he may tie
up, in the old English Law
phrase, in the hands of his suc-
cessor. Neither is it in any sense
new doctrine, since the common
law of England has been un-
friendly to perpetuities almost
time Out of mind.
The chief exception to this nn-
friendliness was in the old law of
entail of landed estates under
which the eldest son succeeded
10 such estate primarily, among
the titled classes, in order to sus-
tain the title, to which he also
succeeded. Even in the old law
was displayed no little ingenuity
in providing ways to break the
entail"
The law of entail came into
Virginia from England and JEFF
ferson made vigorous and sue
cessful struggle to abolish it. In
his day land was the chief basis
of individual wealth and when he
succeeded in excluding that and
securing sthe division of estates
practically equally among all a
mans children he thought he had
accomplished the banishment of
long-continued control of wealth
in single families.
The invention of the corpora
ton and the factory system
changed the basis of wealth large
ly, making land entail of less inn
portance, and here the law of
most of the states against perpet-
uities was believed to come into
play largely for the disintegra-
ton of great estates.
The invention of perpetual
trust corportions, always manag-
ed by shrewd, far-seeing men, is
thought by many to open a way
by thus providing against the
wasting of estates placed in their
control, for wholly escaping from
the disintegrating natural causes
which Jefferson relied for pre-
venting the perpetuating of
wealth in families. This is the
basis for. the suggestion of Mr..
Roosevelt.
It is.not doctrine of socialism.
because under socialism individ-
ual accumulation would not be
possible and no such provision
would be necessary. on the whole
it has mainly an academic inter-
est, the only practical aspect of
it being the possibility of legally
applying to great modern estates
the same disintegration through
natural causes which Jefferson at
tanned for landed estates by the
abolition of the law of entail

RECIPE FOR A HAPPY LIFE

The following Recipe for Happy
Life is the composition of Margaret
of Navarro in 1900
Three ounces are necessary first of
patience.
Then of repose and peace of con-
science a pound is needful.
OF pastimes of all sorts too should
be gathered as much as the hand can
hold.
OF pleasant memory and of hope
three good drains.
There must be at least, but they
should moistened be.
With liquor made from true pleas
ures which rejoice the heart.
Then of loves magic drops few
But use them sparingly, for they
may bring a fame.
Which naught but tears can drown.
Grind the whole and mix Herewith
of merriment an ounce.
To liven; yet all this may not bring
happiness.

Sentiment in Favor of Owl Cars Grows So Strong
Legislators Take Up Question-Vigorous and
Decisive Action Now wAssured-Companies

Whereas The convenience of the Los Angeles
and the needs of the city due in large the cs
paaeed growth and its metropolitan character demand the
operation OF late night the several traction
enjoying the benefits of valuable franchises the
convenient night service may be afforded;
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved That is the of the city council of the city
Los Angeles that ordinance be drafted and thereafter
adopted making the duty of the several railway
pans operating within the corporate limits of the city of Los
Angeles to owl cars afford convenient night
vice over their respective railway lines and that that
end such ordinance provide that each of railway
panes shall from the business of the
the end of its respective lines where such line lines

porae limits that such be each line intervals of
not less than hour between the hours of 1890
and go each and every day. provided however, that
where any such company operates parallel lines not
than two blocks apart shall be sufficient operate
only OF such lines between said hours provided further that
nothing herein such ordinance contained shall be construed

given by such railway companies and such ordinance shall also
provide adequate penalty for violation of of the
visions thereof; and be it further resolved
That this resolution be referred the city and that

service would be greatly appreciated
in this city and is something we should
have" said Councilman Smith, "but 1
am not certain about the city's ability
to enforce such an ordinance and
therefore think it should go to the
committee of the whole until we have
had an opportunity to consult with the
city attorney. We tried to force the
street cars to stop on the crossings in
stead of in the middle of the block as
now is the case and we found we
couldn't do that. We had better go
slow and be sure of our ground. In
that way we can accomplish a good
deal more.
II believe it would be a wise plan to
name a committee of three from this
council to confer with the street rail-
way companies and find out what they
are willing to do. 1t may be that they
will agree to the terms of this reso-
luton without being forced by legis!a-
ton. If we can have an amicable ar
rangement it will be much better than
forcing the issue"
Houghton was appointed chairman
of the committee and with Kern and
Healy will see what the street car
companies are willing to do
For months The Herald has been
making fight to give the people of
Los Angeles a late street car service.
Hundreds of the most prominent busi-
ness and professional men have been
interviewed on the subject and almost
without exception every one was emf
phatically in favor of the plan.
Tourists Make Complaint
The early hour at which the street
car companies see fit to discontinue
service has been one of the chief COM
plants by tourists who annually visit
Los Angeles in large numbers. These
people are mostly from eastern cities
at least as large as Los Angeles, wh ere
the cars run all night, and to be com
PEELED to leave a theater without n cup
per following or any sort of pleasure
and run for their street cars at m.d =
night has made them feo' that To- t'
geles might be improved in one direc-
ton at least
BY its action of yesterday the coun-
ell has taken official recognition of the
needs of Los Angeles residents in this
direction and half promised that an
all night service will be soon effected.
The special committee expects to
have the street car companies complain
that to keep their plants running all
night would be very expensive, but it
is prepared to show that cars run either
by it's own electrical machinery, such
as are used on some of the suburban
lines now or by compressed air. as are
operated in other cities having an all
night car service that expense of opera
ton will be merely nominal after the
first cost of the cars.

FINES ARE PAID BY
FIVE AUT0M0BILISTS
Los Angeles Lawyers State Their Be-
lief That the City Ordinance Regu-
Iating Speed Will Not Stand Test
of Higher Court

Five defendants charged with speed
ing automobiles were fined by Police
Judge Austin yesterday, but C. Smith,
an automobile dealer at 1913 South Main
street. asked for a jury trial. 1t was
set for August 2.
Up to few weeks ago the motorcycle
squad made many arrests Of automobile
lists and the city treasury was enriched
with many fines paid into court, but the
determination of counsel for Bert Ding
ley to test the. state automobile law
stopped the wholesale arrests, for Judge
James decided in the superior court
the state law was invalid.
Many lawyers are of the opinion that
the city ordinance will not stand the
test of the higher courts but until a
test case Is made the police will con-
tinue to make arrests under its pro-
visions
