LIVING is CHEAP IN PARIS

usually prefer to live in pension, that

Years Ago
Years ago, If one believes ones very

Haymarket was lively and noisy until
3 o'clock in the morning. A decade
ago the streets were filled at least until

friends at his club until it closed ITS
doors. Now one goes to bed.
OF course the difference between Lon
don and Paris is that the London
streets are merely roads from one place
to another. The Paris streets are en-
titles of themselves, where people i've

lishman goes out for walk in London
except on the advice of his doctor ana

gested strolling after dinner for an hour
through the west end you would re-
gard him as extensively eccentric.
But in Paris walk along the bouie-
wards. with a rest maybe at one or two
cafes en- route, is general ana ue-
lightful after dinner amusement.
Paris lives at night on the Paris
boulevards; London rushes at nlgnl
along its streets with a rush tnat pc
tokens it's suspicion and its fear that
being out at all after nightfall is haru-
ly respectable.
incidentally, it is curious to note tnat,
though Paris goes to bed hours later

RIGHT OFFICIAL SPIRIT

'1 always vote the way think my
constituents want me to vote"
So said a member of the city council
a few days ago. The remark was in
explanation of an instance in which
he had voted in favor of an ordinance
and subsequently declared his purpose
to vote against the same proposition
on it's reintroduction in the council.
1t was the ordinance relating to prize
fighting. The councilman explained
that he is not in favor of prize fight
ing, but he voted for the permissive
ordinance because he Thought thar
many people enjoy the sport and that
it does no injury to those who do not
care for It," But he says, "Since then
have learned that my ward is op-
posed to it. L have received calls from
delegations Of voters in my ward and
am convinced that my people want me
to vote to abolish prize fighting in the
city,"
1t is the official spirit manifested in
the statement of that councilman to
which attention is especially called.
The wishes of his constituents he holds
to be paramount to his own ideas in
matters of public concern. Like many
other reputable citizens, he saw no OBJ
lection to the professional fisticuffs
that have long been tolerated in Los
Angeles, although personally he has no
liking for such entertainment. But
10 "
of the people of his ward were bitterly
opposed to prize bouts he at once de-
termined to change his attitude on the
question.
If all public officials evinced such
consideration for the wishes of the peo-
pie they represent a mighty step would
be marked in the approach to perfect
popular government. The voice of the
people is not necessarily 1.-The voice of
God" Notwithstanding the Latin max
i'm to that effect, but as a rule the
popular voice is right. 1t is certain,
anyway, that the judgment of COM
munity, or of any section thereof, Is
more likely to be right than the judg-
ment of any individual therein, even
though he be an official representative.
All observant citizens of Los Angeles
regard with pleasure the general ten,
dency of the present city administra-
ton to respect the wishes of the peo-
pie. There is striking contrast, re-
marked by all citizens, between the
present administration and its immedi-
ate predecessor. The difference is in
dicated in the attitude of the council
man who votes las 1 think my con-
stituents want me to vote" represent
ing the present situation, and the VAN
derbiltian attitude voiced in the ex-
clamation 1.-THE public be d." rep
resenting the past situation.

THE GOLDEN LEADER

There is no longer a reasonable
doubt that Nevada soon will take first
place among the states and territories
as a gold producer. 1t will not be sur
prising if Nevada reaches that emf
nence within the next two years, pos
sibly next year.
At the present time Colorado enjoys
the distinction Of being the leader in
gold production, with California close
competitor in the second place. The
other important producers are Alaska,
Nevada, Montana, South Dakota, Utah
and Arizona. Minor producers are
Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, Washing
ton, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Wyoming. Other
states which have small annual yields
are Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee and
Texas.
Nevada is nominally the Oldest of
the western gold producers, with the
exception of California, but practically
it is quite new. Although Nevada
yielded hundreds of millions in gold
value in it's early days, it was an aban-
doned district for many years. Now 1t
may be said to have been rejuvenated,
with the prospect that it soon will sur
pass all competitors in it's yield of
the precious metal.
But for the lack of railway commune
cation with its new auriferous districts,
Nevada probably would be in first
place today in it's golden output. The
discoveries of gold in paying quantity,
as viewed from the miners standpoint,
have been in evidence at least half a
dozen years, but the remoteness of the
localities proved to be serious obstacle
to development.
The need of railway facilities has
been supplied. to some extent within the
last year, however, and other lines in
various stages of progress will soon
afford means for full development OF
resources in the new field.
The whole present mining district oi
Nevada is tributary to Los Angeles
and the progress of the golden indus
try there will be felt in the business
pulse of this city.

"AT A STANDSTILL"

Here is a striking example of the
blighting effect of San Francisco's
troubles upon the business interests of
that city. One of the largest retail
stores in San Francisco, embracing
five street numbers on Van Ness ave-
nue., makes this announcement in Los
Angeles:
Business in San Francisco is prac-
tically at standstill. Up to the time
of the late strike our Frisco store en-
joyed a splendid patronage, but trade
dwindled to such a point that we de-
cided to ship the bulk of the stock to
our Los Angeles house."
But 1.-The late strike" was only the
climax of business trouble in San
Francisco-"the last feather on the
camers back" The burden under
which the business interests staggered
prior to the strike was enough to
crush any but a California city.
Never in modern times has a city
encountered such a succession of mis-
fortunes as has befallen San Fran
cisco. The appalling visitation of
earthquake and fire was only. the be-
ginning. The subsequent revelations
of official rottenness, just when the
stricken city saw rays of hope in its
struggle for reconstruction, was in it
self deadly blow. The disclosures
destroyed confidence in the city's
future checked building and property
investments and led many discouraged
business men to transfer their indus
tries to Los Angeles.
Then came the paralyzing effect of
the strikes, showing the impotence of
the authorities to protect public inter-
ests, together with the development of
friction, followed by animosity be-
tween groups of leading citizens to
whom the public looked for aid and
guidance. This final blasting of hope
led to the situation pointed out by the
business firm quoted above. 1t brought
business to a standstill and impelled
large concerns to look toward Los An
geles as a haven of untrammeled busi-
ness prosperity.
The condition which San Francisco
has reached, as thus indicated. is a
warning to ali American cities and
particularly tc Los Angeles. The
warning does not relate so much to
the strikes as to the fundamental con-
ditions that led up to them. San
Francisco has for many years been
notorious for the tyranny of it's labor
organizations, which finally eliminated
in the capture of the city government.
Business men who come from San
Francisco to Los Angeles to escape
the thraldom of such tyranny need
have no fear of having made mis-
take. The terrible example up north
is sufficient to cause this community
to remember that eternal vigilance is
the price of business independence as
well as of liberty.

Every yearly increase of 10000 in Los

The campaign in San Bernardino for
a single telephone system failed. When
it came to choosing which line to pa

to want the other and hence no agree

all right, but like many another, it
broke down in the application of it.

The fact still remains that once the
power companies thought so much of
Owens river water that they offered to
give the conduit to the city for the
power it would develop. In view of
this, their efforts to thwart the peo-

ny dreadful seem pitifully insincere.
