REIGN OF LAW NEEDED

San Francisco seems doomed to swing
from one political extreme to another
From present control by trade union
ism, sharp vibration toward central
lied control is threatened.
The central figure of political power
in San Francisco is a man who was
practically unknown outside of the city
prior to the recent graft prosecutions.
But today the name of Rudolph
Spreckels is as familiar to American
newspaper readers is that of Abra-
hom Ruef or Eugene Schmitz, though
not in the same way.
The political stature to which Mr..
Spreckels has grown within a short
period is indicated by the intimations
he gives out concerning the control of
public affairs in San Francisco. For
instance, he announces that he 'has
almost perfected plan for a perma-
nent safeguard against the grafters,
which he hopes to put in operation by
the first of the year"
The value of the reformatory plan in
question is immaterial just now in con-
sidering that announcement. The i'm
portant thing is the Napoleonic atti-
tude thus assumed by Mr.. Spreckels in
outlining what he purposes doing in a
matter that belongs solely to the legis-
lative and executive authorities of San
Francisco.
The plan referred to, as explained by
Mr.. Spreckels, "contemplates the for
nation Of civic auditing agency,
which will follow every movement of
the city government and keep close
watch upon the officials, from mayor
down"
The idea apparently is a good one.
Certainly the need of "a close watch
or the city officials" Of San Francisco
has been amply demonstrated. And
perhaps the cost of such system
would be good investment at 100000
a year, the figure estimated by Mr.
Spreckels, particularly as he declares
that it would erect saving to the
taxpayers Of $3,OOO,OOO or s3,50O,OOO a
year"
The question now under considera-
ton, however. is the political conse-
quence of enthroning a new boss in
place of the one lately deposed and at
present headed toward state prison.
This conjunction of bosses implies no
reflection upon the honesty of purpose
or the loyalty to San Francisco with
which Mr.. Spreckels is credited. The
political leadership which he seems to
have assumed may rebound to the well
fare and glory of San Francisco. The
Herald earnestly hopes it may.
But a great and enlightened city like
San Francisco should be capable of in
PRODUCING official reforms by methods
prescribed by law and recognized by
precedent. One-man power may be de-
sirable in a great emergency, but there
is nothing in the situation at San Fran
cisco to justify such exercise of it as
Mr.. Spreckels seems to have assumed.
San Francisco has had a surfeit of
bossism, it would seem, and there is a
homely saying that the singed cat
breads the fire."

Redondo is deserving of much SYM

its new casino. But the people of Re-

time in weeping over affairs that can
be quickly mended. This delightful
beach city is destined to a great and
prosperous development, and new
casino should be at once planned and
built.
