WOMEN
ARE
LOGICAL

women are logical, much keener than
men in purchasing for their homes,
much more painstaking in estimating
values.
R. H. Macy & Company, the original
American department store and the
greatest in America, owe their success
to the discrimination of women.
Every woman knows that when she
deals for cash she can do her buying
more economically than on a credit
basis.
She knows. therefore, that Mays,
tcho deal only for cash, can do both
their buying and their selling cheaper
than the stores that buy and sell on
credit basis.
The intelligent woman who is paying
out her cash knows that cash bust
ness will give her the best possible re-
turns.
Women realize the time and money
wasted in collecting accounts, the great
number of clerks and the multifarious
expenses of credit system. They kn0W
they can get the best results at store
lohich not only buys and sells more Than
any other, but bugs and sells everything
for cash; that relies for its prosperity
upon the fact that it gives its custom
ers all the economical benefit Of a cash
system.
r. III. Macy & Company refuse all
credit accounts absolutely. There is no
man in America rich enough to buy
one dollars worth of goods on credit
there-not even a member of the firm
There is no man whose purchases
however great, can secure for him one
cent of discount or commission on the
price paid by the smallest customer.
r. II. Macy & Company appreciate
the Importance of modern American
merchandising. To protect the custom
ers' interests is the object of r. H.
Macy g. Company, first, last and con-
stantly.
The value of knowledge is the use to
which it is put. You know yea can buy

PRAISE FROM SAN FRANCISCO

The Herald is glad to call attention
today to page article on Los Angeles
with pictures, which it reproduces from
the San Francisco Chronicle of last
Sunday, by the courtesy and consent
of that newspaper. The page appeared
in the magazine section of the Chron-
icle and was supplied to The Herald
on request, with the Chronicles COM
pliments. The article descriptive of
the city's rapid and solid growth is
eminently just, fair and comprehensive,
and a pleasing token of the fact that
at least one of the northern city's
newspapers is broad and decent enough
to recognize what is going on here, its
tremendous moment, the great good
Los Angeles growth will do the state
and the signal success which the
Angeleno has wrought out amid many
difficulties and despite croaking oppo-
sition and illnatured knocks"
Too often San Francisco has been the
head center of the disparagement
which Los Angeles has to combat, and
her newspapers have too frequently
voiced the jealousy of the metropolis
to their own. their city's and the states
discredit and harm. This generous and
fair tribute from the Chronicle is
therefore all the more significant, in
that it proves that newspaper too big
and broad to be classed with the sheets
that cavil and complain of progress
here instead of trying to induce
mites.
Again The Herald thanks the Chron-
icle both for the article and it's cour-
tesy in enabling the reproduction.

year or month ago. He looks about
him and sees activity everywhere. He
inhales the perfume of flowers, feasts
his eyes upon the beauty that spreads
in all directions. thinks of the cheer
lessness that winter brings to the
east, and begins to consider the pos
sibility of having a piece Of ground on
which he may some day build home
here if he cannot do so now.
The result Is that he presently be-
gins to take a personal interest in the
future of Los Angeles, and if he goes
so far as to invest in a building lot
another boomer is added to the many
who insist with all the earnestness Of
sincere conviction that the rapid
growth of the city is only natural and
must continue.

DELINQUENT TAX LAWS

While 1t is good news, doubtless, to
the harassed treasurer of the city of
Los Angeles to learn that his eX-
chequer may be increased by half a
million dollars or more through the
sale of lands held by the city for taxes,
yet it behooves the lawmakers to give
a little thought to the circumstances
which make this possible. In which
case they will find the good news not
unmixed with grave and evil portents.
The tax laws governing in this city
are peculiar. When real estate taxes
property and pays taxes to itself for
five years. At any time within that
period the property may be redeemed
by the original owner. At the end of
five years the city takes a deed to
this property if unredeemed, and then
for five years more no taxes accrue
the city cannot tax property it already
owns. At the end of the second five
years the city may proceed to sell the
lands yet unredeemed, to which it
holds title, and turn the cash into it's
treasury.
In way this seems a very liberal
proposition to the city. But is it? The
"stinger" in the law makes one be-
lieve otherwise.
This "stinger" provides that any
property owner whose land has been
taken over by the city may redeem
the same at any time within the ten
year period by paying all taxes, PEN
alties and interest. This would look
fair on its face, but, look you, the
city may not tax property for which
1t holds title, and five of these ten
years this land has been in the city's
name. AS 1t cannot tax its own land,
neither can it assess it. Hence, when
an original owner redeems he pays his
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-11

Indications now are that the month
of March will exceed the same month
of previous years in the record of
building and improvements in Los An
geles. During the past nine days there
were $40 building permits issued for
improvements valued at SS46,630. At
this rate the month should foot up
close to $1,50O,OOO. The $40 permits is
sued since March 1 are distributed
among the wards as follows, accord
ing to amounts: Sixth ward first with
81; Ninth ward Boyle Heights) sec
ond, with 5S; Fifth ward third, 81;
First ward fourth, SO; Second ward
fifth, "a; Fourth ward sixth, 80; Third
ward seventh. IT; Seventh ward eighth,
15; Eighth ward ninth, 6. 1t is worthy
of note as indicating the tremendous
recent growth of Boyle Heights that
the building permits for the Ninth
ward show the highest valuation of
proposed improvements of any ward,

taxes for the first five years on the an
nual assessments made in those years
then he pays for the subsequent five
years on the basis of the last assess.
ment, or at the value rate of five years
back.
Now, in an old settled community
where values change little this might
be fair, but think for a moment of the
snap one has who is taxed on the basis
of land values here five years ago,
Imagine the difference in values in
Broadway, for instance, in 1901 and in
1906. Figure on the worth of property
around Seventh street then and now.
Then you can get a glimpse of this
"stinger."
OF course If property which became
delinquent for taxes ten years ago and
is now about ready for sale were all
to be disposed of for the city's treas
ury and profit at its values today, the
gain to the city would be something
very fine. and would make this law
well worth while. And as about $780,
900 worth is to be disposed of now, it
being past redemption, the "stinger"
is somewhat blunted. But what about
the parcels which did become delin-
quent a decade ago, have been car
ried ten years by the city and have
recently been redeemed, or now will
be, on tax basis five years old? Will
not the loss in legitimate taxes ensuing
more than equalize the city's gain?
And, too, what a way this opens to
beat" the city-especially one grow
ing so rapidly as is Los Angeles.
What's to prevent a man this year
from becoming delinquent in his realty
taxes, letting them run nearly ten
years and then redeeming on n basis
value of five years hence? And how
about the man who has already de- |
linquency against him? Every year
that it dates back, with the great in
creases now prevailing in this city, af-
fords additional inducement for him to |
permit the city to carry him along till
the decade is about up, that he may |
save a five-year increase in his assess
able values.
Thus the "stinger" in this law be-
zones evident; it puts decided pre-
MUM on tax delinquency, deprives the
,ity of annual running revenue, cuts
Town the ultimate taxes considerably,
Ind leaves the city with only a spec
llative, tentative value in the end and
| problematical chance to recoup itself
oy a sale of the property. In other
words. the city is left to gamble on
he owners not redeeming within ten
,ears, with the cards stacked against
he city and its opponent in full possess
ion of the pasteboards it holds-a
,lain case of Skin"

Pueblo Psalm

Los Angeles is as a dream
That grows-into reality.
We idly claim
That bare two thousand souls
Live here today,
But every man that dreams
He has home
In Sunny California Land
Is here. For where the heart is
Helping to shape
The destinies of this
His chosen place
OF earthly habitation.
And If we have dream
Or think we see a marble hall
Or princely Palace or hanging balcony
Or mustard covered hill
Or Stretch of poppy plain
We but recognize
Creations to be building here.
For-those out of the crowding millions
Who lived beyond the desert
And the mountains east of us
VIII come and build them
On the very spot
For every ideal home
That has been built in fancy
By mind of man
Or woman since the breeze first played
The strings of the Aeolian harps
Beside a southern sea
Is native to this cline.
And each new conner finds
In opaleScent skies
And radiant sunshine
That which nouriSheS
The realization of his dream
N
Upon an earth that's real.
And dotted DER each hill and vale
From snow clad mountains to the pur-
In Sunny Southern California land
The fruiting of blessing from above
Alightng-each neW home
In it's appropriate
And suitable abiding place
Filling the niche long dreamed of
BY the man who came here
From the ruggedness of wintry climes
Hugging close unto himself
His life's dream
Seeking to be realized.
And hither all such men
Will come to tarry with us
And rejoice in life abundant
While yet they may
Before they pass into
That other world of dreams
To which this is the Western, gate
Where, alone, on all the earth
The setting sun reveals
Reflected in the placid sea
It's counterpart 1.-THE City of the
Angels"
Here all who Will
May come and see and feel
And learn to know
The beauties of the life ideal
While yet on earth
Beneath our pleasant skies
And living here
In peace and plenty
We as time rolls on
Into the twentieth century
Are destined to evolve
A sequence of the ages past
Into the prophecy 49,.
OF that which is to come.
Our labors, then,
Are not in vain
We but make paths of progress
TO achieve the highest aim
of man upon the Earth.
os Angeles has just begun
To realize her destiny
And you and are here
To do our part, my friend,
In pointing out the way to those
who follow dreams, that grow
Into reality.

CHICAGO FUNNY MAN
WRITES OF LOS ANGELES
S. {. KlSER ON A WINTER VAcA-
TION TOUR
In Some Respects He Deals Seriously
With Los Angeles and Gives This
City a Few Unexpected Compile
mentary Remarks


S. e. Kiser in Chicago Herald.
LOS ANGELES, March For the
traveller who starts this way remember
ing that Los Angeles figures in the
latest census reports as a town OF
about 100, 900 inhabitants there is wait
ing a great surprise. / expected before
reached this city to find here place
about the size of Albany, N. Y, but 1t
became apparent soon after / had
landed that L was in a well-built,
busting metropolis, where the streets
were almost as full of people as they
are in the crowded business district of
Chicago. 1t did not take me long to
discover that the census reports We're
wholly misleading as to the present
population of Los Angeles. People came
hurrying from all directions to tell me
about it. 1 was assured that the city
had over 100000 permanent tourists who
were helping to make the sidewalks
seems almost too narrow for comfort.
Los Angeles is and has for the past
ten years been growing much more
rapidly than any other city in the
world. It's population has doubled In
half a decade, and at present the rate
been before. Building is carried
on at an astonishing rate. Great bust
ness blocks are under construction
everywhere through the rapidly spread
ing mercantile district. On many of
these structures work goes forward at
night as we'll as by day. Three big
hotels, any one of which would be a
credit to New York or Chicago, have
been erected and opened for business
here within a year or two. Office
buildings ten, twelve and fourteen
stories in height are plentiful, and
many more of them are being pro-
jected daily. The growth of the city
has for the past three years been far
more rapid than its most enthusiastic
inhabitant dared to hope at the be-
ginning of the century it ever might
be. Even the real estate dealers ap-
near to have been too conservative. 1t
is common to see in and around Los
Angeles big billboards containing such
announcements as this: Il

WORK OF ROYCROFTERS
NOW ON EXHIBITION
INTERESTING DISPLAY IN RLAN.
CHARD BUILDING
Elegant Simplicity the Chief Aim of
This Band of craftsmen-Their
Handieraft Ranges From Bookblnd-
Ing to Rugs

Work of the Roycrofters, of which
much has been said for and against, is
on exhibition in the small salon adj
joining the art gallery in the Blanchard
building. The work, exhibited with the
saliant characteristics Of that band OF
craftsmen, covers a wide field from
bookbinding to the making of chairs
and rugs.
The local exhibit Is in charge Of JEFF
ferson Walbridge. one of the Roy
crofters, who has been associated with
Ebert Hubbard for many years.
In the handicraft of the Roycrofters
elegant simplicity Is the chief aim. The
little room, furnished entirely with their
work, while in the greatest simplicity,
lacks the austerity often impaired by
that so-called style and has a cosy,
homelike appearance. The furniture is
in dark wood, with leather to match.
Several pieces. including the sideboard
and library table, have copper trim
and is exceptionally original.
Fra Elbertus," after his trip abroad,
rentroduced the bookmaking of long
ago-the handwork and illuminating so
long practiced by the monks. Each
book shows a distinctive plan of de-
sign.
On the walls are the illumined say
ings OF THE Pastor of His Flock" BE
Yourself is one of the most beautiful.
1t is in carved wood. Another, 1.-THE
Love You Liberate in Your Work is the
Love You Keep" is a keynote which is
carried out in the work.
In his "credo" Fra Elbertus says:
II believe that God is here and that
we are as near him now as ever we
shall be. l do not believe he started
this world going and went away and
left it to run itself"
Another that has called forth much
comment, both for it's sentiment and
is: Never explain. Your
friends do not require it and your
enemies won't believe you anyway"
The exhibit will be open to the pub
lie one month.

1t is but natural for people who come

and il is impossible to present proof
that they are wrong when they add
that there is no more reason Tor
collapse now than there was then.
When they are asked what there is IN
or back of the city to make lts
phenomenal growth continue they re-
