THE PLACE TO BEGIN

III 4 AsthNAs = ~
"where there's a will there's a way
That venerable saying aptly fits the
situation in regard to the good roads
movement in Los Angeles county. Ev-
erybody approves the general PROPOSE
tion to link the cities and towns by n
comprehensive system of good roads or
boulevards. Even the estimated cos;
Of SS,000 600 for the purpose does not
act as a deterring factor. The obvious
need Of the improvement is paramount
in consideration of the question and the
matter Of cost is Of secondary concern.
But there is tangle in the warking
out of the good roads proposition. The
Incorporated cities are not technically
parts of the county in respect to such
a project as the one in question. The
cities and the country districts cannot
pull together in double harness, accord
ing to the judgment of recognized legal
authorities. And this dilemma Is pre-
sented correctly in the statement that
under the present law the bonds
could not be voted unless we first con-
soidate the city and county govern
ment."
1t will require at least two years to
effect Los Angeles city and county con-
solidation. Meantime a great deal may
be done by the several cities and towns
in the county as independent factors
in the great work of street and road
improvement Il general plan adapted
to the ultimate purpose of the S3,000,-
600 proposition might be mapped out at
an early day, to which local road i'm
provements could conform pending the
consolidation of city and county.
This brings us to the local point to
which the especial attention of this
community is melted. That is, there
is no i1npediment to the immediate be-
ginning of work on our part of the
proposed scheme for street and road
Improvement. The consolidation ques-
tion in this respect does not concern
the broad area of the city, which now
reaches literally almost from the
mountain to the sea-"
the several cities is working out, as
it surely will in due time, Los Angeles
should take the lead by at once begin
ming a comprehensive improvement of
it's own streets and suburban roads.
While the discussion of county boule-
Yards is in progress, for instance, why
not demonstrate the possibilities of that
kind by constructing a boulevard from
the city to the sea by way Of the newly
acquired strip of city territory?
Still more important, however, is the
slencing of criticism that the streets
of Los Angeles are a disgrace to the
city. The criticism is entirely just, as
every citizen familiar with conditions in
eastern cities will freely admit. The
street situation during the last two
months has been not only Gisgraceful,
but intolerabe
The people of Los Angeles are eager
for a change from the eXeCrable street
conditions that have been in evidence
this winter. They are ready and will
ing to vote any sum of money that may
be necessary to escape the daily horror
and even the nightmare of struggling
in mud.
While clearing the way for the splen-
did county plan of good roads and
boulevards this city should afford an
object lesson by showing what may be
done in that line within it's own borders.

Thirty million people in America,
or more than one-t third of the nations
population, are living under a prohi-
bition law, says the annuaf report OF
the Associated Prohibition Press, a
news service furnishing news relative
to the prohibition movement, which
has headquarters in Chicago.
The report, which Is a resume OF
the results accomplished by the vari-
Gus forces working for prohibition,
states that the prohibitory area In for
egin countries has greatly increased
during the year.
In the United States the territory
gained by the prohibitionists is large.
In Tennessee 1885 out of 1S4S towns
have shut out saloons under the local
option law, and 1.732,737 people out
of n population of 2,020,616 live un-
der prohibition.
In Arkansas the advance OF prohi-
bition has been equally marked, for
11-12ths of the population have pro-
hibition. The aggregate vote on the
liquor question in that state changed
from a license majority OF 52,35S In
1894 to a prohibition majority of 49,
61S in 1906.
In Georgia 103 out of 1877 counties
in the state have prohibition.
Indiana is reported as having ga!
townships and 40 cities without sa.
looms and Ohio has 1900 dry" town
ships. Vermont and New Hampshire
which repealed their prohibitory laws
are said to be returning to the fold
Vermont having but 25 licensed towns
out of total of 140, and In New
Hampshire the increase for prohibi

cent. s
Minneapolis is given as an example
of large city which has enforced
Sunday closing with good effects.
Mayor Jones is quoted as saying that
Sunday arrests since the law had been
enforced were 25 per cent less than
under the wide open" policy. He
estimated that Sunday closing was
saving the people of Minneapolis ST.
100000 annually.
The police records In ST. Louis un-
der a year of Sunday closing are said
to show a decrease of II per cent in
Sunday arrests for drunkenness and So
per cent decrease in the total number
| of Sunday arrests. In Kansas City
the Sunday closing enforcement is de-
clared to have reduced Sunday arrests
for all causes rs per cent. Similar re-
suits are said to have been attained
in Omaha, indianapolis Louisville and
other cities.
It is also pointed out that fraternal
orders, especially those maintaining
life insurance for members, have
taken a decided stand against liquor.
During the year the Odd Fellows OF
New York, Masonic fraternity of Ken
lucky, and the national conclave OF
the knights OF Pythias adopted iron-
clad regulations barring from their
ranks drinkers or men connected with
the liquor business.
The stand of the labor unions, In
dcated by a warning against intoxi
cants contained in u pamphlet ISSUED
, by Samuel Gompers, is another mat
ter commented on.
