sTREETs I'M NAV rRACrS

At the eleventh hour and too late
for enactment bill has been intro.
duced I'm the assembly embodying i'm.
portant provisions relative to tract sub
divisions in cities. 1t brings to mind
however, the grievous blunders that
have been made constantly in the map
| ping OF additions to Los Angeles ever
since the beginning Of the city's modern
era.
The bill in question makes provision
for streets in future subdivisions with
minimum width Of eighty feet, ito
run at right angles north and south
or east and west, with blocks 500 feet
square, having an alley through the
center OF each" 1t is provided. also,
that the streets Of the new subdivision
shall parallel streets already estab-
lished.
There is ground for fault finding with
features of the measure, but it is not
worth while to discuss those points now
in view of the certainty that the prop
osition will sleep until the next session
of the legislature. The provisions
noted, however, accentuate the greatest
regret felt by citizens of Los Angeles
relative to the layout of the city.
Next to the fact lat Los Angeles
has worse streets than any other city
Of its size in the world" as declared
by Mayor Harper in regard to paving
conditions, the irregularity Of the
streets is the chief source of annoy
ance. The utter lack Of system or
method of any kind in street arrange
ment amazes all visitors from the large
cities of the east.
The street nomenclature of Los An
geles harmonizes exoctly with the lay
out. More names are used for street
designation with a larger percentage
Of the ridiculous kind than can be
found in any other city on earth of
twice the population. And the average
citizen who is a native or a longtime
resident is unacquainted, probably, with
80 per cent of them.
But there is no reason why these
defects in future subdivisions of the
city should not be rectified without
legislative enactment. 1t is within the
province of the city officials to make
all needful requirements to the filing
of tract maps and it is time to stop
the infliction of denominations both In
the naming and the crazy outlaying of
streets.

recognized fact that big surplus is
more of danger than a blessing. 1t
removes the restraint upon congress
that compels economy and instead en-
courages extravaganza. Politically, too,
1t is more of a handicap than an ad-
vantage because the resulting extrava-
gance furnishes the most penetrating
ammunition for the opposition. OF late
years, however, the country has been
so crowded with prosperity that the
mere sense of bigness led to popular
liberation, If not, indeed approval of
increasing national expenditures. But
great deal depends upon the subject
of those expenditures. If spent upon
great improvements the criticism may
be light. But If squandered upon pure
ly pork" measures popular resentment
may prove as swift as ever.-Pittsburg
Dispatch.

HARRINANs OLIVE BRANCH

The general tone Of E. II. Hartmann
dissertation on the railway situation Il
admirable; whether as much can bt
said for its sincerity is quite another
matter. But even prisoner at the
bar Is entitled to the benefit of a doubt
and there should be no discrimination
against a man who has the misfortune
to bear the brunt Of attack upon the
railway corporations.
Mr.. Hartman, like Saul Of Tarsus
claims to have seen a great light"
He now sees. as declared. that "our pol
Icy In the past has been a mistaken
one" He admits, also, that railroads
have been frequently at fault because
Of their failure to live up to traffic
agreements" And he confesses that
this dereliction of the railway compa-
nles has caused lack OF public conf
dence in their acts
But all that is in the past. Mr. Har-
rlman indicates a readiness to turn
over new leaf in his account with
both the public and the government.
He says 1--WE men at the head of the
great corporations on our part are COM
ing to a better understanding of what
the government expects Of us; we are
beginning to get the point of view Of
the administration; we feel that now
all of us-the public, the government
and the railways-are on common
ground where we can deal with each
other In right spirit"
The sentiment of that declaration is
all that could be desired. The conclu-
sion is sensible and logical. 1t is based
on the same "get together" principle
that The Herald uses on occasion to
rally this community en- masse in sup
port of acts and projects that make for
the public veal.
The people and the government are
willing and ready to accept Mr.. Harri-
mans assurance, on behalf of the great
railways, of a desire to make atone
ment for past shortcomings and to act
on the principle of the Square deal" In
future. The overture will be met half
way by all interests that have hitherto
entertained grievances against the rail-
way managers.
But, In view of the admitted sharp
practice of these managers heretofore,
Mr.. Hartman must be reminded that
"by their works We shall know them"
1t is quite true, as he says, that there
is lack of public confidence in railway
managers, and that deficiency can be
made good only by tangible acts in ac-
cordance with the commendable senti-
ment expressed.
There can be no question that the
pull together" policy is adaptable to
all lines of human activity, and re-
suits always demonstrate the wisdom
of employing it. The interests of the
public and of the railway companies
are so intimately associated that har-
mony between them would necessarily
be beneficial to both.
Now let us see the tangible fruits of
the square deal which Mr.. Harri-
man proffers. soft words butter no
parsnips."

The Fifty-ninth congress, just ad-
journed. was nearer a two billion than
a billion dollar congress. The appropria-
tions at the short session, ending June
30, were SS30,133301, while those at the
long session foot up 1919, 94S, ,697, MAX
ing the enormous total of 81, 300, ,131, 9SO
These are figures calculated to stagger
the American people. Isn't it about
time to insist upon some of that old

Remarked:
Invest it so that It does not net me

Since that time he has never mem
toned money TO the bank, nor even
called for his handbook, which remains
always at the bank and Is balanced

But one Of the odd features of the
case is the manner in which Pavey
lives on 81 a day. He has a little hall
room comfortable warm and well
lighted, with a big easy chair, a mar
row but comfortable bed, some pretty
etchings, few photographs and
great number Of books. In the corner
of the room, in a small closet is n mi
mute oil stove, q small pan and coffee
pot These are for use when some ex-
travagance "breaks" him before sup

and rolls or an egg poached over the

For use of this room he pays s2.10 a

lived ever since he came to Taunton
