DR.. Bailey, who was retired physi-

Of Mecca temple and recently of Yuma,

most popular OF the visiting Shriners.
He came here chiefly with the idea OF

Dr. Bailey was prominent in his pro-
fession IN New York and Boston. as
well as several others of the eastern
cities, and since he retired he has trav-
eled around the globe. He spent much
time in South America and Alaska ana
was a student and collector of note.
A year ago he marched in the parade
with the Visiting Shriners' club and he
was life member of that organization,
At that time he presented the club one

their comrades who fell in the war with

5000 veterans and their friends thronged
the old Hazards pavilion.

QUACKS AND FAKERS NEXT

The revelations in regard to loose
drug selling methods in Los Angeles
should not be surprising. They are
quite in keeping with the commonly
known fact that quack doctors and
healing takers of all known varieties
are preying upon the health and wealth
Of the community.
Nothing is more astonishing to visi-
tors than the flaring style in which the
scores of local quacks and takers are
allowed to project their business meth
ods. Ponderous signs, offensive 10 the
eye and often nasty in matter. are
Haunted in the public face almost at
every turn in some of the busiest Sec
tions of the city.
The federal and state laws will sure
ly put an end to the fragrant abuses
that have just been brought to light in
connection with the drug business. Now
it is UP to the city authorities, who
have all the necessary power to rid the
community OF the faker and quack
classes.
Sometimes it is said, with logical SEM
blance, that 2. person who is fool enough
to pay money to faker deserves to be
fleeced. But in every city there are
ready made victims for sharpers, peo-
pie so sullible that they are ready to
swallow any hook, no matter how thin
the bait it is supposed to conceal.
1t is a reproach to Los Angeles that
any such characters should be allowed
to practice their swindling arts upon
the confidence of credulous or mentally
weak subjects. Such creatures are en-
tirely out of place in city that is near
the 100000 mark in it's population. They
belong to the pueblo era, when Los
Angeles was relatively an infant. But
this city now should be able to say
with Paul, when I was child ]
spake as a child, 1 understood as a
child, thought as child; but when
l became a man 1 put away childish
things
The drug store abuses must go and
In their wake should go the whole group
of swindlers who now are allowed not
only to rob thoughtless people, but to
injure or ruin the health of victims by
their methods.

TWO WATER VIEWPOINTS

Two classes of Los Angeles citizens
are interested directly In the hnanclal
feature of the Owens river water pro-
ject. The taxpayers constitute one class
and the prospective workers and fur-
nishers of materials comprise the other
class Every inhabitant of Los An
geles. of course, is interested either
directly or indirectly.
The corporations that are working to
the limit in an effort to defeat the water
bond proposition make the burden
upon taxpayers the chief ground for
their assaults. Through their news
paper mouthpiece they magnify the
financial burden to the proportions of a
mountain. but they discreetly avoid CIV
ing facts and figures to show just how
heavily the burden will rest upon in
dividual taxpayers.
Every taxpayer, whether he is the
owner of a modest little shack or of n
great skyscraper, can readily figure out
what liability he will assume for the
S23 10000 of water bonds. In the ag-
gregate that sum is stupendous, but as
apportioned among the property owners
it is of small consequence to each.
1t is doubtful if the market value Of
the average property of Los Angeles
taxpayers reaches $4,000. That figure
implies Il clear home of the average
worth of $1,000 for the lot and $4,000 for
the improvements. Probably it would
be nearer the mark to reduce the total
one third, placing the value of both
house and lot at $4,000 in the average.
On the $4,000 basis the assessed value
of a home property would be $500. AS
worked out on the basis of cost for the
S23, 0000 900 water plant the average prop
erty owner would chip in" these sums:
For the first year the tax for Owens
river water account, on the aforesaid
basis, will be so cents; second year.
s1.9O; third year. S2.s2; fourth year.
S3.5S; fifth year. S42S. The average for
the five years will be s2.66.
At q cost of S2.66 a year for five years,
or $3.50 for the total cost, the average
taxpayer, allowing that his property is
worth $4,000. will become part owner OF
a water supply which capitalists value
so highly that they are willing 10 pay
all the project will cost for the mere use
Of the waters gravity for electric power
purposes.
The other class of citizens directly in
terested in the financial feature OF the
water project are those who will set the
taxpayers money for wages and ma
terials. What that money will amount
to as an aggregate sum has already |
been disclosed in these columns. 1t will |
be, approximately, $20,0O0,000 out of the
.otal of s2S,O0O,OOO.
The construction department of the !
great water system is now making it's |
layout for a complete service of en-
yineers, surveyors, storekeepers. con-
struction clerks and similar employees.
When the bond election gives the |
signal to go ahead at full speed thou
sands of mechanics and common labor |
ers will be employed.
And nearly all the money to be ex-
pended will flow back to Los Angeles.
as the Owens river water finally will
