MAKING A PRECEDENT

In considering the present applica-
tion for subway privileges the fact
| should be kept i'm mind that the basic
issues involved are of much broader
| scope than the schemes i'm hand. De-
cisions arrived at in the present case
will establish precedents for future
guidance. 1t is OF the highest import
ance, therefore. that the initial points
which are now bones of contention shall
be settled once for all
The Hartman subway proposition
has opened the eyes of the whole COM
munity to a situation that discerning
individuals had already considered.
That is, the certainty that the city's
expansive pressure northward and
westward would necessitate the use of
a subway system of transit. What we
call the hill districts are barrier to
communication between the central
portions of the city and the suburbs
beyond the hills. The logical remedy
ed elsewhere, is to penetrate the hills
by tunnels for subway transit.
The Hartman project now outlined
will prove to be the leader of other
projects intended for other lines of
transit. There are no engineering diff
culties to deter promoters of similar
enterprises, and it is only wonder
that the subway idea was not reduced
to practice at an earlier date.
In fact, the system of subways now
matter of great magnitude as viewed
from his standpoint of a railway
builder. The tunneling involved in the
plans now under consideration is
trivial in comparison with some of the
stupendous undertakings in steam rail-
way construction.
1t is well to remember, also, that the
time may not be far distant when the
subway plan will be necessary for rapid
transit through the city in sections out
side of the hill districts. Surface tram
sit has reached the limit of speed, as
the frequent accidents resulting from
compare lively fast schedules clearly
prove. Even in many of the present
outskirts of the city the time required
for passage to and from the central
part is barrier to improvement. That
drawback is aggravated by every addi-
tional step farther from the center.
New York has solved the problem of
rapid transit by the use of subways,
and other leading American cities are
following the lead of the metropolis.
Los Angeles is making a start in solv-
ing it's problem similarly. The elevated
railway plan, which New York and
Chicago have tried thoroughly, proves
to be inadequate to the requirements of
great and rapidly growing city
1t would be safe to predict that when
the Peace and Commerce exposition oc-
ours in this city in 1915 there will be
systems of subway transit not only
through the hill district but under the
river to the rapidly populating sections
of Boyle Heights and also to the dis
tant suburbs of western and south
western Los Angeles.

THE DAILY DIME NOVELS

It was mere matter of fact to state
that a certain order of newspapers
have literally become daily dime novels
They distort the great honest life Of the
nation in way to give the impression
to a growing army of comparatively
ignorant readers that falseness and
crime are almost dominant in the life OF
the American people. This is situa-
ton wherein are wrapped great possi-
bilities for evil. 1t becomes all the
more important that decent men in
journalism remain true to the truth
and give full place to that honesty an6
righteousness which are always pres
ent and which will exalt a nation.-
