WHICH FRIENDS?

THERE is encouragement in accu-
mulating evidences to be found in
Il the press that the people at large
are becoming daily more alive to the
Importance of the tariff issue. Not long
ago a woman, evidently one with a
good working knowledge of affairs.
wrote to an eastern paper expressing
her idea that the time has come for
the tariff architects and constructors
in Washington to devote little thought
to the consumer in connection with re-
vision which everyone expects during
the next session of the congress. With
excellent point this contributor COM
plains that taxpayers, housekeepers
and other consumers generally have
been and still are singled out to play
the part of the paying proposition in
the universal game of grab. In this
view no doubt she is right, but prob
ably does not reflect that in the
economy of nature the success of the
useful horse leech would be imperiled
were he not protected and his infant
industry encouraged by the practice of
driving old horses into the pond for
him to feed on. The consumer is the
old horse factor in the tariff equation,
and, incidentally, is beginning to realize
the fact
1t is instructive to note that renewed
agitation is bringing out the same old
appeals, the same old subterfuges which
have marked the whole history of tariff
controversy and legislation from 1924
down to the present year of grace.
Once more the political employees of the
protected trusts are wailing that only
the friends of the tariff, l. e., those in
terested in perpetuating its dishonest
and criminal features, must be per-
mitted to revise 1t. In the communica-
ton above referred to it's writer re-
marks that, in her recollection, tho
| friends-in Harrison's administration,
when friendly revision resulted in the
Mckinley tariff. and in McKinley's adj
ministration, when II resulted in the
Dingley tariff. Since 1897, whole de-
cade. the tariff has been safely and
solely in the hands of it's friends, who
have striven for and achieved q con-
stantly ascending scale of protection"
which has encouraged and fattened the
trust malefactors and has operated to
assist the operation of placing the iron,
coal, oil and lumber territory of the
United States almost wholly within the
grasp and control of a few monopolies.
Now, in view Of the revival Of discus
] sion in the congress. the woman writer

GAS FOR HOLLYWOOD

MT ONOPOLY in any form breeds
| wi power and that power is ever
4h arbitrarily used in favor of 1t:
possessors and against the common
people. Hollywood, Colgrove and ada.
cent territory contain a case in point
These towns are anxious to have gas
for lighting and fuel purposes, and
have appealed to the Los Angeles Gas
company. which corporation already
owns certain lines of pipe in certain dis
tricts OF this territory, to extend theil
connections to include the homes of 9
very large part of the population, and
have been met with the answer: 1--WE
are not ready to do that work now;
when we are ready we will take the
matter up"
This sort of treatment has borne its
natural fruit, and now the people who
would willingly and cheerfully pay the
existing rates for gas have put men,
bers of the best families in the field to
solicit names to petition to another
gas company to enter the field and give
the needed relief.
G. e. Drew. well known and trusted
citizen of Hollywood and one of the
men who have been rebuffed by the
Los Angeles Gas company, said: 1--WE
have no question with the company as
to cost or on any point at all, other
than that the people want gas and
want it as soon as It can be piped to
them. We are tired of being snubbed
by these people. and so we have taken
up the good old Los Angeles plan Of
solving the difficulty ourselves, and we
have list of people who want gas and
are ready to pay fair prices for 1t, such
as will not only astonish the Los An
geles Gas company but will warrant a
competitor to enter the field and give
us the relief we seek"
1t may take time to effect it, but
sooner or later the men upon whom the
authorities have conferred special priv
ileges in the form of valuable fran
chises will learn that 1t is not only
good manners to attend to public needs
in their lines, but that 1t is good BUSH
ness policy as WELL Hollywood, Col
grove and adjacent territory will soon
be supplied with gas.

The absent-minded woman who left
that box of valuables on New York
train and never recovered it declares
the story was greatly exaggerated.
She says the box did not contain
100000, and says there were but 1876
$1,000 bills and $4,000 worth of jewelry
in the case. The man who got the box
probably isn't worrying about that ex-
ira four thousand. His chief anxiety is
how to get some small change and
make getaway.

MI DIRK on the Owens river aque-
wv duct is we'll under way, and
those who are charged with the
important task of directing the great
undertaking are on the ground and
deeply interested in the opening prob
lens.
From its inception the task has been
recognized as difficult, even after the
great financial features are fully ar
ranged for. and of all things necessary
now to the prompt execution of the
work the good will and moral support
of the people are chiefest. The action
of the supervisors in granting licenses
to sell rum on the line of the work met
the ready and general condemnation of
the people, and the spirit manifest in
that condemnation is the spirit that
should be in evidence throughout the
entire work
Chief Engineer Mulholland will meet
and grapple with many perplexing
tasks as the work progresses, and his
record in Los Angeles warrants the
belief he will overcome all things pos
sible to human brains and energy, but
neither Mr.. Mulholland nor any other
man can meet and overcome spirit of
faultfinding and complaint, especially
where it is developed by men who have
no right, official or moral, to interfere
in the work
The history of the building of the
tunnels, the opening of the boulevard,
the construction OF the outfall sewer,
the arrangement of our parks, all is
tainted with this miserable compound
of cowardice and meanness, and even
though graft may have thrived in some
measure in some of these great works
the physical difficulties remained and
had to be met, and If we could know
the heart secrets of the men who
wrought these things it is likely the
backbiting, innuendo, Knocking" and
false witness of natural faultfinders
added to general lack Of interest on the
part of the whole people. proved much
harder to meet and fight than all the
engineering and financial problems in
volved. De Lesseps, with the bays of
international honor on his brow, fresh
from the glory of Suez completed, was
stung to death at Panama by the darts
of malicious envy and backbiting, and
in the general collapse which followed
his sfngle-handed fight for honor and
reputation, even he lost both at the
the hands of men who were not fit to
be his lackeys. All great undertakings
unfortunately invite the poison of fault
finding and misrepresentation, but there
is deep-rooted belief in the stability
of honest public opinion in Los Angeles
that Chief Engineer Mulholland is the
right man in the right place, and it will
envelop him and sustain his efforts till
the waters of owens valley are flowing
into our homes, and then crown him
with the laurels of deserved success.
IT should be the business of all the
people, irrespective of all allegiances, to
extend hearty sympathy to and in
terest in this great work as 1t pro-
crosses. and make the several available
travel points on the line of construc-
ton centers of pleasure gatherings,
giving heart to the workers and afford

ton to all who pay taxes in Los An

This talk about Mr.. Bryan losing
popularity in the south is in line with
other dope handed out about the
NebrasHan's waning power" Senator
simmons of South Carolina declares
the south is loyal to the great COM

dig new grave for the Democratic
leader never hear of such utterances.
Their burning anxiety to lose Bryan
points to him as the man they fear.

tend in all directions. Unless he's a
nature faker, therefore, Kellogg would
seem to be up against 1t hard.

Shade Trees.

The Editor OF the RECORD Press,
who has set ost great many shade,
fruit and ornamental trees in his life
and who has thus tried to assist ma
ture in identifying each place, it has
been his fortune to own and many
others in which he has lived, warmly
endorses the following clipped from
the Louisville Times.
Louisyille's shade trees are the
peoples pride. They give distinc-
zion to the city. No other feature
adds more to the beauty of thd streets
and the individuality of the commu-
nity-except the people themselves.
The destruction of thousands of shade
trees by the storm yesterday after
noon is a matter of regret, real and
deep splendid old trees that had with
stood the stress of decades and had
developed into giants were uprooted
as we'll as saplings which We hoped
to see grow into giants In after years.
In all parts Of the city the damage
was serious and deplorable.
The loss of Eie trees can only be
overcome by the planting Of other
trees. The restful shade that has
been taken away can be regained en-
ly by phoing one troe in the place
occupied by each Of the destroyed
trees.
Therefore, it is the dusy Of every
citizen who lost . tree In the storm

We have done almost nothing to equip the private
