After a heated debate, in which men

the council minus many of the features
which the civic association wanted.
After all councilmen except Walter

The provision making metallic signs

Mrs. Kanst Makes Appeal
Mrs. J. r. Kanst of the Outdoor Art
league made the first appeal to abolish
the billboards. She addressed the coun-
Gil, saying in part:
"The eyes of the whole world are
on you today. Letters to me from all
over the country show it, said she.
"Signboards and billboards are Destroy
ing the beauty of the country. Los An
geles must make move to curb the
evil.
"I heard some one say the corpora
tions contemplate bringing the issue
into the courts. / advise them not to
dissipate their wealth. The billboards
are coming down. That is certain.
"The man who sells skidoo hats or
the humble vegetable man pays his tax.
Yet these corporations complain. I
have a bill here showing that S24 was
paid for each months rental of space
of eighty square feet.
"Should not the municipality be COM
pensated for these blots on the city's
beauty? We need money to build good
roads and if our vacant lots must be
screened let those who make big profits
give the city some.
"Here one may see a home Of luxury
disfigured because a speculator who
owns the adjoining lot chooses to put
an immense billboard next door. If it
We're my home affected I believe
would use my little hatchet." Laugh-

Attorney Warner Pleads
Attorney A. D. Warner made an ad-
dress on behalf of the tax crusade.
II put this down as a cold -blooded
business proposition not merely ques-
ton of municipal beauty defaced," he
said. "These billboard men are taking
100000 out of the city annually. Fol
the signboard at Pico and Grand ave-
nue. the advertiser pays SIS month fol
9X30 feet, giving a revenue of $45 8
quarter. To impose a tax of cent pei

"There are thousands of persons who
are compelled to look at these bill

you can turn over those pages you wish

You can't prevent children from read

1.-THE courts have held that taxation
for the benefit of the community is le
gal, and the question with us Is merely

Mr.. Warner asked that a section b'
incorporated exempting real estate mel

strictions. He concluded by saying tina

A Point of Law

The Roumanians are as curious in some things as the Chinese. A girl who fell into river and was swept down by the current finally seized a bush on the bank and drew herself to shore. The owner of the land lon which the bush grew immediately claimed a reward of one dollar because his bush was there and had saved her. Her father refused to pay and there was a law suit. What the law had to decie is whether people can make use of bushes on the bank without paying for the same, or whether the assistance of said bushes is worth a certain sum of money.
 In China, if a person falls into the water no one must help,him out, but at the same time a spectator can be imprisoned for not advising the vic tim to stay on dry land.-Evening Telegram.

His DYED Beard Pivotal.

The most striking case in history OF
the Importance Of trifes is furnished
by the story of Musa, the leader Of the
Moslem host which won from Christen
dom in three and a half years dOmin
ions which it took the soldiers Of the
cross twenty generations to win back
He had red beard. This was q trife
Musa, though a very great general
was a very vain man and he dyed his
beard black. This was another trifie
One OF his captains chaffed him on the
subject and Musa forthwith had him
stripped and scourged. For this, al
the very height of his cOnquering ca
reer, NIusa was recalled by the calipl
and disgraced. This made it impossi
bic for him to command the Moslen
army at the battle of Tours, on the is
sue Of which, as all historians agree
the destinies of Europe and perhaps OF
the whole human race depended.
It is almost certain that if the genius
Of Musa had replaced the incompe-
tence of the half dozen tribal leaders
whose discussions made victory impos-
sible the forces of Islam would have
joined hands from the west to the east
and inclosed Europe in their grasp.

BRITISH IN THE HAWAuANS.

islands Could Easily Have Been An
nexed by England Once.
The Hawaiian Islands, Japanese ac-
tivity in which is giving New YORK a
scare, are better known to an English
man-and are entitled to be better
known-as the Sandwich Islands, says
the London Chronicle. For it was our
own Captain Cook who so named them'
after Lord Sandwich, then first lord OF
the admiralty, and it was there the gal
liant navigator met his death at the
hands of the natives in 1879. The tragic
tie thus established with the islanders
developed into less dubious relations
when the king and his chiefs implored
us at the beginning of the nineteenth
century to send them religious teach
ers. Forestalled by the Americans, the
kindly feelings, nevertheless, continued,
so much so that King Kamehameha and
his wife paid us a visit in 1924. Our
climate was not so kind, however, and
both paid the penalty of their daring
by dying in London.
It must be accepted as tribute to
our moderation that we did not then
annex the islands. We should to-day
have had as fellow subjects a colony
of over 10000 loyal Japanese-a people
we'll adapted to make the best of that
land Of giant volcanoes, towering noun
tains and fertile valleys. America took
the reward Of the enterprise Of her
missionaries eight years ago by annex
ing the islands, but it is, curiously
enough, to the early British adventur-
ers that she owes the abolition Of idol
airy. When the American missionaries
arrived there the natives had not TAX
en- the trouble to replace heathenism,
the abSurdity Of which we had demon
strated, by any form of religion what
ever, but was drifting along in a hap
py-go-lucky fashion without idols or
Bibfes. 1t was easy to establish Chris
tianity In this amazing land, and along
with its elementary schools and extend
ed facilities in the form of sewing
classes. In forty years there was not
an intelligent islander who had not
learned how to read the great Ameri-
can language, drive hard bargains with
cute Yankees in dimes and dollars and
make nice loin clothes for the boys and
frocks for the girls.
