ROOM FOR ALL

Some of the reports about crowded
conditions at the hotels are misleading
and injudicious. They are likely to
spread the impression abroad that ac-
commodations for strangers are diff
cult to obtain here and that prices are
extraordinarily high in consequence
There is no substantial foundation for
any such conclusion.
The present is the winter period
when tourist arrivals in Los Angeles
reach high water mark. a large per-
ccntagc of the newcomers at this time
are Of the wealthy class, who expect
to be- provided with the best the city
affords in the way Of accommodation
ana who expect to pay corresponding
prices. Hence the leading hotels gen
orally are filled TO the limit Of their
capacity, making it necessary to en-
gage high class quarters in advance
But The hotels of the first class ac-
Commodatc only a small percentage Of
/ the thousands of winter visitors to Los
Angeles, Their patrons, in fact, are
/ chiefly tourists who make compare

Los Angeles is not only well equipped

BOOK NOTES

Victoria Cross may have. had some
purpose in writing "Life's Shop Win
dow" besides a desire to evolve in
decent literature and make money out
of it, but If so, a careful perusal fails
to disclose it. The book begins with a
girl born out of wedlock, who marries
a man through passion, deserts MIN
for a paramour and finally takes up
with him again because he has the
greater wealth. 1t is full of nastlness
and infidenity, and what literary graces
IL man contain are covered with the
muck of the swine with which they are
mixed.

GOVERNMENT AND CANAL

Just why the United states should
feel called upon to turn the actual
building Of the Panama canal over to a
bunch of contractors and pay them 1919
per cent on the cost thereof is one of
the things that is puzzling a whole lot
Of people these days.
1t was generally supposed by sane
persons that the United States could do
about anything that a private corpora
tion could and at less expense. 1t Is
better equipped to obtain large bodies
of men; 1t certainly can invest more
capital and 1t can secure machinery
at lower rates. These factors are the
principal ones involved i'm constructing
the canal, and in every respect 1t seems
that the margin is in favor of govern
ment work.
Then. too. the United States has gone
ahead for some years now with the pre-
lliminary organization of the canal
work until that is put upon most
satisfactory basis. The president in his
recent journey through the canal zone
found affairs in admirable shape-ac-
cordng to his own report The men
who have been there long enough 10
be acclimatized like the country better
than anyone supposed would be pos
sible. These men take a certain pride
in their work, and in the fact that they
are associated with a government that
is doing what no other one could. The
esprit du corps, in other words, is ad-
mirable and the progress of the work
since this was secured has been Won
derful.
All this has been brought about by
the United States only after a vast eX-
penditure of both time and money
Two-thirds of the amount so far spent
on the canal has been in the way of or
ganization, and only one-third in actual
digging; the same applies to time. But
at last the system has been perfected
and everything so organized that gov
ernment work would go on at a mini
mum of further extraneous expense
and a maximum of efficiency in excava-
ton.
NO"t IlONtNGl, IL 10 plOlOSSu ~ SN'i
all this vast organization over to prt-
vate contractors and to pay these con-
tractors one-eighth of the cost of con-
structing the canal for the work which
the government could do just as WE'LL
if not better. Why?
What reason is there for putting con-
tractors in charge of the work? 1t is
still to be under government super
vision; the government engineer is to
be the final arbitrator in every question
involved. Why not then have govern
ment work and save this one-eighth, as
we'll as retain the prestige? Must the
| United States admit that it is unable &c
carry out the task and that it has tc
turn 1t over to private individuals II
order to get it done? Is government
ownership a failure?
