HEARST AND HIS LEAGUE

political tremor is expected to
agltate the northern quake belt tomor-
row. The central point of energy Will
he i'm Oakland and the energy
will be generated by state convene
tion of w. r. Hearst's brand new po-
litical party called the Independence
league. In order that citizens of
Southern California may not be un-
duly excited II they hear a Noise 1t Is
proper to announce that the league
convention will be called to order at
10 O'Clock, by bang of the gavel.
Mr.. Hearsts league proposes to
manag the political affairs of Cali
fornia henceforth, or as soon as the
leaguers to be elected next November
can be installed In the public Offices.
The old political parties will he "cast
out into outer darkness This be
cause Hearst perceives, as reported by
his henchmen, that the Democracy is
In state of absolute and hopeless dis
ruption and disorganization," and the
Republican party is no better
To save California, and later to
spread out salvation over the whole
United states, Hearst has concluded
to handle the affairs of government
himself, through the iristrumentality
of his league. There is no question
about the outcome of the project i'm
the estimation of the yellow phenom =
enon- He says of his scheme that there
of
throughout the country, but also Of the
success of the ticket which will be
nominated at the Oakland convention
That is equivalent to serving notice
on the old parties that it will be folly
to hold their proposed state conven-
tions and waste time in formulating
tickets.
And this political Arnold has the
effrontery to project himself into the
state politics of New York as a seeker
for the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor. He has used his league as a
foil wherewith to push his claim to the
nomination on the sole ground that he
will throw the election to the Republi-
cans, by drawing Democratic votes
through his league, unless the New
York Democratic convention nominates
him
This is the man, also, who has the
ineffable gall to attempt dictation to
the Democratic party of Los Angeles,
and Southern California generally,
through the local example of his string
of disreputable newspapers.

1o J ANGELES, cRnAr SHOWING

It Is a great pity that no way exists
for bringing the WORK Of the census
bureau down to date instead OF having
II always from one to Ave years In
arrears. stiH. occasionally a. bulletin
comes from It's archives which. though
somewhat antique. shows some figures
Of great value. even IL II be only his
torical.
In a document recently received from
Washington are figures, the study Of
which afford a decided source Of sat
isfaction to friends of decent govern
ment, free from graft and unhampered
by class rule. The volume, for such
It Is, contains resumes for 1904, and
those applying to Pacific coast cities
therefore show san Francisco's status
before the recent quake depopulated It,
while It was secure within the grasp
of the Ruef-Schmitz gang Of grsfters,
The figures relate especially to the
cost Of city government and are very
instructive. o. .s.
Thus in 1904 It is shown that the
its citizens $1.93 per capita. 1t is con-
siderably less now. as the population
has increased $4,000 since then. while
the force Is about the same. In Port
land the cost was O92; in Oakland,
S1.2S; in Seattle. si.2O--all small places.
But in San Francisco, much more near
ly comparable with Los Angeles, the
cost was $2.a1 per capita, nearly 81
more than it was here.
The cost of fire protection put Los
Angeles in a still more favora BILE light.
The expense per capita here was s1.H;
Oakland paid $1.97; Seattle, $40; Port
land, s1.S7, while the Ruef- -Schmitz
force in San Francisco cost that town
s2.62.
On the contrary, as showing the ex-
penses for education, Los Angeles leads
the entire coast. 1t paid 1915 per capi-
ia. Portland paid 1854; Seattle, s627;
Oakland, s7.76. while San Francisco, the
most lavish with its grating police
and its fire department, only paid out
$4.0S for edueation-the lowest in the
list.
In another respect too, Los Angeles
position is excellent-its bonded debt
This figured $46.23 per capita-very low
considering its tremendously rapid
growth and it's pressure of needs. Port
lands figures were s7736, while Seattle
owed S96.O3. San Francisco's debt was
only s15.5S per capita. hardly under
standabe till it is known that the su-
pervisors at that time Democrats and
not in sympat thy with the grafters, re-
fused to issue $7O,0OO,OOO of bonds al
ready voted. for fear the Schnitz-Ruef
crowd would steal the major portion.
This is splendid showing for Los
Angeles. While its police cost was
higher than smaller cities, naturally,
its expense was much less than in San
Francisco. 1t ran close to other cities
in fire depa rtment cost; 1t far out
stripped all in school expenditures, and
its bonded debt was less than any other
save San Francisco, where they dared
not issue bonds voted for fear they
would he stolen. On such a record,
even though II be year old, Los An
geles Is quite ready to present itself
to the entire world as the best city,
the biggest city, the safest, most at
tractive and most prosperous city west
of the Mississippi river.

He held my eyes within his eyes
That they might see no wrong;
His kisses fell upon my lips
And left them hiled with song.

Grows wondrous and complete,
