GALL OF THE rAKERs

For gall that might be guaranteed
to stand any test for purity, note the
argument put up by the local takers
against the proposed increase in their
license tax: THAT the excessive in
crease or any increase in the present
rate would reduce the amount Of rev.
enue, as the practitioners will remove
to locations beyond the city limits, thus
depriving the city of revenue now ac-
cruing therefrom."
The mediums. clairvoyants, slate writ
ers and other spook conjurers threaten
to leave Los Angeles and deprive the
city treasury of their contributions in
license taxes unless the monthly re-
quirement is kept down to an almost
nominal figure.
If the takers can be induced TO
scamper from the city by such means,
then let no time be lost in putting the
license tax up to the top notch, not
withstanding the prospect of losing the
SIS a month per faker that now is paid
into the city treasury.
The impudence Of this class Of frauds
is in keeping with their methods for
fleeing unwary victims. In a formal
communication to the mayor and the
city council the takers represent them
selves as Taxpayers" and dub them
selves professionally as practitioners"
The extent to which they are taxpayers
may be inferred from the threat to
leave the city if the license fee be
raised from Sl5 to $50 a month.
The Herald's graphic exposure of these
despicable swindlers of easy victims
was the means of greatly abating the
nuisance. The diminution of "busi-
ness" in the line Of separating dupes
from their money, decreased so greatly
that several of the practitioners" were
obliged either to leave town or buckle
down to honest means of earning a liv-
ing.
All that is necessary now, in order to
complete The Herald's good work in it's
crusade against the takers is the in
creased license rate. The publicity Of
forded by The Herald's exposures, sup
plemented by the high license tax, will
relieve the community at least in great
part of the baldest fraud perpetrators
in Los Angeles
1t is said Mayor Harper wants to
the fakers' license by re-
ducing the amount prescribed in the
new ordinance from $50 to $50. His
argument is that $50 would be pro-
hibitive and if enforced the takers
would remove just outside the city lin
its, continue their business without
paying any license and still require at
tention from the police, whereas if only
$50 be exacted they will remain in the
city and pay it. The attention of the
mayor is called to the fact that until
The Herald began it's crusade the fax
ers were never molested by the police,
and many of them had free permits
from former mayors, and the city can
certainly do without the license which
the new ordinance proposes if it can get
rid of these Objectionable employments
AS matter of fact the ordinance
requiring SIS month license was new
er enforced and therefore the city
would lose nothing it ever had by
adopting an ordinance that would as
sess even prohibitive license fee.

College President Wants to Prove
 That They Arc Harmless.
 Chicago, Oct. 1S.-To prove that the Aurora Board of Health is wrong in at- tributing a case of poisoning to pea nuts, Thomas J. Allen, president of Au- rors College, began to-day to live on a diet of peanuts, and will continue to do so for sixty days, In order not to do too much violence to his system, however, he will mix the ground pea nuts with the nut part of wheat in the proportions of two-thirds peanuts and one-third wheat.
 MT Allen, who has been a vegetarian and an experimenter in special food for several years, will undergo daily ex- animation at the hands of Dr C. T. Guyer, president of the Aurora Board of Health, who will weigh him each day, test his heart action, and keep a record of his physical condition.
 An Aurora man recently became i'll after eating peanut candy, and the To- cal Board of Health came to the con- clusion that there was danger in the popular circus and baseball food. These aspersions reused the Ire of Mir Allen, and he at once called upon Dr. Guyer and made his offer of sixty-day ex- pertinent
 The experimenter has laid in a large supply of peanuts and will take his ground food twice a day, noon and ev- ening. He will have plenty of water with his meals, but nothing else.
