Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1907-11-12

In an interview in the Reno Jour
nal this morning National Republican
Committeeman Flanagan states that
the police patrol advocated by Roose-
evelt will ruin the small sheepmen Oh
this state and also that the Federal
authorities are showing favoritism to
the California raiser to the disadvant-
age of the Nevada sheepmen
The idea originated in a desire TO
drive the big sheep men out of busi-
ness but so far has only hurt the
small breeder and in ne end he alone
will be the only one injured by the
policy now adopted by the Govern
ment.
Up to recently the Government has
the government sections Of land in
the Sierra for fair rental and the
rasers have driven their flocks in
there for couple of months each
year to finish the growth of their
lambs. While they can still rent the
sections owned by the railroad com
panies in the mountains they are use
less to them for in order to occupy
them they are compelled 10 cross the
odd sections owned by the govern
ment and this has been refused them
This has caused a great injury to the
leading sheep men OF the state who
have immense fortunes tied up in that
industry.
Il believe that President Roose-
welt is absolutely honest in his inten
tinos. but | know him to be abso-
lutely wrong in his ideas on this mat
ter" said Mr. Flanagan last evening
The policy of the administration OF
driving men of large interests in the
sheep business out of that pursuit is
certainly mistaken one. Clifford
Pinchot has openly declared it to be
! the intention of the administration t,
manage matters so that the holding:
! of sheep eventually shall not exceed
EO00 to the individual owner This i:
paternalism, pure and simple, and
would. mean could it be carried to
of every heavy owner of sheep in Ne
vada from business. But this polio,
cannot be carried out. Nevertheless
it is entailing hardships. as the mis-
guided exercise OF great power mus

CONSOLIDATION OF CITIES

One of the most important questions
now before the state assembly Is that
of providing authority for the CONSOLE
dation of cities and towns, to the end
that both economy in municipal gov
ernment and the expansion of Califor-
MIA cities may be encouraged.
IT is not merely a local question,
however greatly It may happen to bear
just now upon local conditions in the
municipalities of Los Angeles county.
1t is matter which directly concerns
every city and town in this state. Tho
time has and will come, in the history
of each Of them, when consolidation
becomes necessity to the welfare
and progress of the several communi-
ties involved, and hence the Importance
of the measure.
The assembly is asked to enact n
general law, giving the option or the
power to the people to determine
whether they will merge any of their
cities or towns. In other words, to
authorize the voters to exercise local
elf-government, for in any event the
voters would be merely given the right
to vote on such a question and have
the result of their votes confirmed in
the processes Of law.
Moreover, the determination of the
question of consolidation should be
based upon a majority vote of the peo-
pie. our primal basis of governmental
function in this country is one of ma
iorities, and what the majority of the
voters declare is and should be the
law of the land. This is particularly
true with respect to electoral proceed
ings under statutory law.
The state assembly, therefore, should
accord to the people of California the
privilege they seek OF determining for
themselves whether they shall merge
any of their municipalities. 1t is not a
mere question whether Los Angeles
Alamitos shall merge their govern
ments, but whether this authority shall
be given to all the cities.
The Herald believes that when the
assembly shall take this view of the
matter-which is the proper and true
view-it will not hesitate to pass the
bill presented for consideration through
the Los Angeles consolidation commits
sion. There is no earthly reason why
the bill should not pass without OBJ
lection. 1t simply authorizes the diff
ferent cities of the state to fight out
their own fights, if they have any.

LONG BEACH ELECTION

The citizens of Long Beach will vote
today upon the question of adopting or
rejecting the proposed freeholders' char
ter which has been submitted to them
by the politicians and persons interested
in multiplying the local offices of that
city.
This election concerns the people of
Los Angeles, as does every other pro-
posed public act of the beautiful little
city by the sea, because this city has
always regarded the beach towns as
part and parcel of the greatness and
attractiveness of Los Angeles. Hence
an injury to one is an injury to all.
This proposed freeholders charter APP
pears to be particularly obnoxious be-
cause it provides for a large increase
in the yearly expenses of Long Beacn
by esta blishing many useless offices. 1t
authorizes the appointment of boards
and commissions which will have no
business to attend to and yet must be
maintained at public expense This
would inevitably result in burdensome
taxation to meet the extra weight of
caring for the politicians.
Again, it is noteworthy that the pub
lie service corporations are all support
ing the proposed charter, in great fear
lest the time may come when Long
Beach will seek consolidation with Los
Angeles and car fares and gas and
telephone rates will have to come down.
One of the beauties of Long Beach
has always been the fact that it is a
prohibition town, where the good peo-
pie could visit and enjoy the glorious
beach without the sight of drunken
men and worse women. This proposed
freeholders' charter will permit hotels
having fifty rooms to sell liquor in their
restaurants. That would mean an even
worse condition of affairs than if a few
saloons We're opened. 1t would do more
to encourage drinking and drunken
ness than could possibly be provided
for in any other way.
The Herald cannot believe that the
good people of Long Beach will vote to
adopt such a charter. II is a document
utterly unsuited to their purposes and
should be defeated by a decisive ma
jority.

BUILDING RECORD

Taking into consideration the COndi-
tlons prevailing throughout January
the Los Angeles building record for the
month is quite satisfactory. 1t is only
surprising, in fact, that the volume OF
building was as large as the figures in
dicate. The total number of permits
issued during January was nearly six
hundred and the value represented by
them approximated $1,0000OO,
Last month earned the discredit, so
far as Los Angeles building operations
are concerned, of being the most un-
favorable in the modern history Of the
city. 1t would be difficult to imagine
how climatic conditions could have
been worse. There was hardly day,
from the beginning to the end of the
montl, when there was not either rain
fan OF threatening conditions.
Building projects in all parts of the
city were deferred in waiting for the
clouds TO roll by" Neither owners nor
contractors were inclined to take the
risk of such backsets and damage as

number of projects were postponed.

throughout January, and they never

NOW THE ELEVATED RAILROAD

NOW | HE ELEVATED RAILROAD
Los Angeles is in both the subway
and elevated railroad stage of evolution
as a metropolitan city. To those finish.
ing touches is likely to be added at no
distant day a pneumatic equipment for
rapid transmission of mail matter be-
tween the general postofficc and its
branches.
All Of these distinguishing features of
modern city of the first class are yet
i'm embryo, but the consummation Of
each seems to be assured. TIE two
railway propositions suggestive of lack
of room in the crowded thoroughfares
have progressed to the point of en-
countering stubborn opposition. That
alone is sure indication that the
projects will materialize, as is proved
by experience in the great cities where
such methods of transit have been in-
troduCed.
From the impedments met by the
subway builders public attention now
is directed to objections raised against
by Mr. Huntington to relieve the con-
gestion incident to the convergence in
the city of his several interurban
lines. No person who is familiar with
the conditions will dispute the urgent
need of some method of relief in this
matter.
But the plant is raised that elevated
railroad structures are unsightly ard
that they necessarily mar the beauty of
streets in which they are located. a
more material objection is urged in
the statement that "the plan If carried
out will greatly damage the surround
ing property" One opponent goes to
the length of declaring that IAN ele-
waited railway virtually contiscates the
property on either side for distance
of at least two hundred feet"
An elevated railway is not and cannot
be made "a thing of beauty The as
sumption that it is calculated to con-
ffscate" property, however, is not sup
ported by experience elsewhere. New
York introduced the elevated system
of rapid transit After successful
trial of the general plan with a "one-
legged" structure over the sidewalk
of Ninth avenue, a double-track line
was built in the middle of Sixth avenue,
the great shopping thoroughfare. Nio-
lent opposition was interposed by prop
erty owners and merchants, but the
operation of the line soon dlsarmed
objection by causing an immense ad-
vance in property values and largely
increased shopping business.
Elevated railways as shown by New
York experience, are a very useful
connecting link between surface and
subway transit. The elevated lines in
the metropolis are worked to the limit,
Notwithstanding the coming of the
subway system, but the latter will
eventually supplant them
We may safely assume that Mr.
Huntington and his lieutenants have
considered in the utmost detail every
phase of the two systems in connection
with the plan of relieving traffic con-
gestion. The line of the contemplated
elevated structure is a stirring busi-
ness thoroughfare, but of kind that is
recognized as more useful than beau
tiful.
