men of his ilk. And the fact that while
these huge net earnings were being
made and dispersed in dividends upon
watered stock laborers by the thou
sands were being deprived of their jobs
and the equipment and tracks of these
corporations, for lack of the service of
these discharged laborers, have been
permitted to deteriorate, in some in
stances below the point of safety, is
another and a very conclusive argd-
ment in favor of endowing the inter-
state commerce commission with power
to force railroad companies to keep
their equipment and lines up to the
proper standard to insure efficiency of
operation and the safety of the persons
and property of their patrons intrusted
to them.
And in this connection it is well for
voters to remember that the national
Democratic platform pledges the party
to increase the power of the interstate
commerce commission a policy that
has been strongly recommended by
Mr.. Roosevelt but upon which the Re
publican platform is silent.

Los Angeles Is Commended
for Good Roads Foresight

pended outside the limits OF Los An
geles city, and yet the city voted heav-
ily for the bonds. The voters expect
to get their money back in increased
rentals, the profit on tourists gener-
ally and especially automobile supplies
and repairs. The country people ex-
pect to get better prices for their
orange groves when they sell out.
There is no sentiment about it. 1t Is
cold business. Such El Canine Real
gush as Is set afioat does not count,
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
For the same reasons which moved
the voters of Los Angeles. the Chron-
icle Is of the opinion that 1t will
pay tSe city and county of San
Francisco to construct first-class
roads south to San Mateo county. The
roads in this city south of the paved
streets are abominable. They should
be made the best that can be built
for money. If we will do 1t there is
no doubt whatever that San Mateo
county will connect with them by sim
liar roads and that the system will
speedily extend into Santa Clara
county. Such things once started go.
That Alameda county will engage In
good road building there is no doubt
whatever. 1t is a matter in which
San Francisco should lead off. Let us
have some good county roads in this
county. They will pay.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-23

1T HE discussion of the good roads"
question. will proceed most use
\ fully if the public will drop senti-
ment and generalization and consider
each good roads proposition on its
economic merits, and the economic
merits of public county road differ IN
no essential way from the economic
merits of railroad project. The only
important question is whether the saw
ing in the cost of transportation on
that particular stretch of road VIII
justify the proposed outlay, or whether
the pleasure traffic which the improve
ment will generate will yield profit
to those who must pay for the good
road sufficient to compensate them for
the outlay, or whether the two services
together will make such a compen-
satien.
The people of Los Angeles county,
including Los Angeles city, have made
up their minds that for them there Is
