NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. !
PRESERVE THE RECALL

nRESIDENT ELIOT of Harvard
college is a recognized authority
u on civic government and notable
personal example of the successful or
ganizer and manager, and his recent
public utterances on the subject of
metropolitan government and city char
ters is of interest to the people of Los
Angeles just now. The gravamen of
his plea is for a return to the source of
all power-the people-for control of
wayward officials; and that no man
might mistake his meaning he cites the
New England town meeting" as his
model
The present city charter of Los An
geles contains questionable provisions
and some that are priceless to the peo-
pie, and while the question of a new
charter is in the first stages of discus
sion it is well to remember these facts
No unprejudiced man will deny the
virtue and power of the initiative and
referendum and the recall, now lawful
integers in our charter, and with the
eyesore of San Francisco before them
it behooves all men of all parties. or no
party, to see to it that no class or cor
porate juggling shall dispossess the
people of these blessings in the new
charter.
While we may not, in one sudden
jump, change from the existing order
of things to the seven selectmen" sug-
gested by President Eliot, we can, by
holding these safeguards in the char
ter. compel the peoples chosen repre-
sentatives to execute the popular will,
and that fact is an effective big stick, -
the voluntary loss of which would be
plain asinine neglect on the part of the
people.
1t is probable that among those
charged with drafting the new charter
will be staunch friends of these vital
measures. but the time to lock the
stable door is now; not when the horse
is stolen.

ESTABLISH NAVAL
STATION ON PACIFIC
PROMINENT OFFICIALS TO VISIT
THIS COAST
Advantages of San Diego as Base OF
Supplies Are Being Considered
by Experts at WASH
lneton
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-It is probable
that a new naval station will be created
on the Pacific coast as the result of the
forthcoming visit there Of Admiral Capps.
chief naval constructor of the navy, and
Admiral Cowles, chief of the equipment
bureau. The former left Washington to-
day for New York, where he will be
joined by Admiral Cowles and the two
will go together to the Pacific coast to
make thorough inspection of the yards
and stations on that coast and report
upon the future needs of the navy In
that quarter.
Admiral Holiday, chief of the bureau
of yards and docks, will follow these two
officers to San Francisco on similar err
rand. This will involve very careful eX-
animation of the Mare Island navy yard
and that at Bremerton. The resources OF
the two navy yards are scarcely suffi-
cient to make even temporary repairs and
bookings that will be required by Ad-
miral Evans battleship fleet If it makes
only a temporary visit to the coast. Hence
the inspection of the yards will probably
result in recommendations to congress at
it's approaching session for considerable
enlargement of the plans at both places.

Laborers Scarce

The difficulty of procuring skilled labor
in these yards especially at Bremerton
will also be considered with a view to
making the conditions more attractive Ia
such labor, If by on other means than
by assuring the men of continuous en-
ployment at good wages.
But from a naval point of view, prob
ably of more interest is the proposition
to establish a naval station at San Diego
Cal, which will be examined from all
points of view by the visiting admirals.
The harbor at this point possesses SUI
perior advantages as a naval anchorage.
There are good railroad connections, as
suring abundant supply of coal If water
communication is cut off in war time,
and the harbor can easily be made i'm
pregnable.
The distance Of San Diego southwark
from San Francisco and upon the same
line with the projected Panama canal
would also make it an advantageous coal
ing point. OF course, the consent of con-
gress would be necessary to render ef-
fective it's selection.
