OTHER CITIES TO
RECEIVE BENEFIT
Angeles Will Not Alone Profit
by New Law Permitting
Consolidation

Members of the Los Angeles city and
county consolidation commission yes
terday expressed themselves as greatly
pleased with the manner in which CIVIC
bodies and individuals are responding
to the appeal of the commission Ior
support in the coming effort to infiu-
ence the Legislature in favor Of the
commissions bill permitting the con-
solidation of municipalities
1t is expected that a delegation of
liberal proportions will accompany
President Butler to Sacramento Sun
day night. Mr.. Butler, in discussing
the situation yesterday, said;
Members of the legislature surely
will be guided by pronounced express
sion of a large body of the public.
Los Angeles is not alone in desiring
the passage of this enabling act. Other
cities want to expand and take in ad-
jacent incorporated places and the law
we propose will be as good for them.
1--WE have found there is no popular
opposition to the proposed law. The
fight against it is being made by cor
porations and individuals who are ac-
tuated by selfish motives. I confidently
believe that when the legislature fully
understands the situation and the
needs the desired legislation will be
forthcoming.
1--WE fear another danger in Sem
ator Savage's bill providing for state
board of harbor commissioners for San
Pedro. 1t is our opinion, based upon
the experience of other ports, that
harbor would be too likely to be merely
a Southern Pacific agency to complete
the control of the harbor. We oppose
the proposed measure because we think
when San Pedro becomes part of Los
Angeles the harbor should be con-
trolled strictly by the municipal gov
ernment.
ut is our conviction that the only
way really free harbor can be as
sured at San Pedro is by consolidation.
The consolidated city cannot only have
more influence in gaining government
aid, but will be stronger in holding for
the general public good the facilities
coveted but not now needed by the
railroad corporations that hope to
keep out competition"

Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1907-01-08

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-George B. Cor
telyou announced today his retirement as
chairman Of the republican national COM
mittee. Hon. Harry s. New, vice chair
man, will become acting chairman Of the
committee.
For many months 1t has been understood
by those in touch with Postmaster General
Cortelyou that he proposed to retire from
the national republican craftsmanship. A
year ago he was inclined to announce this
resignation, but as several matters Of po-
litical Importance were impending he de-
cided to wait.
II is well known that the president has
referred to Mr.. Cortelyou many matters in
volving politics. and 1t was believed that as
chairman Of the national committee he was
in better position to handle them than he
would be as simply a member of the cab
met. As these questions have now been
cleaned up, Mr.. Cortelyou embraces the OPP
portuhity 10 retire. He let it be known
some time ago that he proposed to retire
from the committee before he should un-
dertake the duties of the secretary of the
treasury.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE case of G.
Falk and brother of New York, importers
of tobacco, against the United States was
decided by the supreme court of the United
States today favorably to the government.
The point at issue was the question whether
tobacco should pay duty when received at
the bonded warehouse or when removed
from them, the weight being less ct the
latter than at the former period. with a
reduction OF the amount re-
qulred to meet the demands of the revenue
officers. The court held that payment
should be made at entrance, thus sustain-
ing the New York collector of customs
The opinion was by Justice McKenna-
