The Los Angeles Idea
Might Benefit
Islands.

Governor Carter had a long conver-
sation yesterday on the liouor ques-
ton in general with T. E. Gibbon,
general counsel of the San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake Railway, who
is visiting here from Los Angeles.
Mr. Gfbbon some years ago was on
a liquor commission in Los Angeles,
at time when the population of that
thriving city was not nearly so large
as at present The saloon licenses had
run over the two hundred mark, some
had been recalled until the number
stood at 200
1t struck Mr. Gibbons then that it
might be a good idea to make 200
licenses the maximum and he voiced
the idea. The liquor men took the
matter up and agreed to this, although
it was not then made a law.
The plan worked and in time as the
population Of the city increased, the
liquor men began TO look upon their
licenses as assets in about the same
manner as a stock broker does his
seat upon the stock exchange. A Ii
~cense became a valuable asset and
needed to be guarded Los Angeles
with its 200 saloons. restricted in time
by law to that number. has doomed:
San Francisco III the same period, with
ever-inereasing numbers of saloons, has
decreased. The Los Angeles people
look upon this matter with some sat
isfaction.
That licenses are jealously guarded
is evidenced By the fact that every ef- |
fort is made tn retain the license and |
pass it on practically from father to
son. Licenses are often revoked or |
withdrawn for cause and put up to the !
highest bidder This is a Law.
People are ready at all times to give
evidence against a holder of license
If he is not living up to the require
ments OF his license, and if the city /
f1ud the charges are correct.
the holder loses his license. This has
resulted in the law being carefully OBJ !
served.
As to Pasadena. Redlands and Long
Beach, Mr.. Gibbons told the Governor i
that these were thriving places, espe-
sially Long Beach. and that in none ]

President Roosevelt has recently
In no uncertain manner made IL
known that he meant what he said
on election night, 1904, when he

and that he means to stick by that
declaration OF the letter. He has re.
iterated his purpose of retiring with
even more emphasis than that In.

Is due to the constantly recurring

except Roosevelt.
When he completes his present
term he will have had seven and n

and ought TO he enough for the

TO take NIL necessary steps to pre-.

him and fully expects to retire on
