DENY SOCIALISTS
STREET PRIVILEGE
POLICE BOARD SAYS CAMPAIGN
is TOO FAR OFF
Delegation Tells Commissioners Two
JaiIs VIII Be Necessary, as Rights
of Free Speech viii Be
Insisted On

The police commissioners yesterday
turned down the application of the
socialists city committe, for permits
sion to hold street meeting at a half
dozen points at noon and night daily.
Secretary Cloudesley Johns made
formal application and a delegation of
men and women was on hand to lend
support.
Mayor Harper said to the applicants
that standing and speaking on the
streets during the campaign was far
different than permitting religious
speakers to address crowds. For politi-
cal purposes halls could be hired so
early in the campaign.
Claude Riddle for the Socialists said
1t seems to me we are going far in
uplifting the race, too. ALI admit that
the most crime is due to poverty and
that poverty is due mostly to the cen
tralization of wealth."
Yes, that is good Democratic doc
trine. l admit it," said Mayor Harper
smiling.
Take from us the hope of discussing
thes things and you take hope out of
the breasts of discouraged young men,
continued Riddle. I'VE have saved
many by instilling hope in them. We
are willing to pay hail rent IL we can
get some Republicans and Democrats
to come in and argue with u.s.
Don't get too many; the Jail is over
crowded. said the mayor to DR.. A. d.
Houghton, who remarked that he had
a message for the public, was too poor
to hire hall and did not fancy going
to Jail.
AS a parting shot Riddle and his
friends said the city would have to
build two jails, as they expected to
avail themselves of their constitutional
rights of free speech

prevail. but at the same time with the
intention of making the best charter
possible in the interests of the Whole
city, with an Independent intention 10
hold fast to that which is good, ana
that only.
This, as we conceive, will call upon
this commission to frame an entirety
new charter untrammeled by anything
that has gone before. but without IN
tenrion to disregard arbitrarily or with
out reason the work that has already
been done and embodied in the present
charter What has been well done and
proved itself by practical experience
should not be disturbed.
And we submit that we should, IN
doing this work. bear in mind that
there are certain fundamental princl-
pies of municipal government that nave
been embodied in the charter of the
city by the vote of the people that we
should feel it our duty to respect, pre-
serve and protect. whatever may have
been our personal views heretofore as
to the expediency and wisdom of pro-
viding therefor
OF these may be mentioned the in
itiative, referendum and recall
The purpose and object of the COM
mission should be. in our Judgment 10
make the provisions relating to these
important subjects as simple. direct
and efficient and the execution of them
as inexpensive as possible.
The subject of elections is another
of the most important with which this
commission will have to deal.
It is our opinion that every effort
should be made to so draft the charter
as to exclude the city elections as far
as possible from all partisan politics
and the opportunity for boss rule or
other Interference with the free exer-
else of the elective franchise by the in
dividual voter.

RECALL IS
PRESERVED
IN CHARTER
REVISION COMMISSION so
RECOMMENDS
SCOPE AND FORM OF WORK
AGREED ON
Dies Molnes Idea RELOCATED to SUBJ
committee, to Be Taken Up
Later for Discus

The charter revision commission took
q long step forward last night when 1t
adopted the report of the committee on
scope and form of the charter
This substantially urged the lifting"
of such features of the present Los
Angeles charter as were needed, and
the retention of the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall
The report went on to say that while
not necessarily indorsing the Des
Moines idea it would be well to take
up the study of the commission plan
of government and to draft a sample
charter under that plan for the sole
information of the commission.
This was voted down by the COM
mission last night.
Later 1t will go before subcom-
mittee.
The section of the report read by
Chairman John D. Works of the sub
committee as adopted was as follows:
Spirit of Reform Abroad
The important duty of considering
and reporting upon the question as to
the extent to which we shall go in
preparing a charter to be submitted to
the electors of the city has been COM
mitted to this committee.
This is a question of great inlpor-
lance as we view 1t.
The spirit of reform in municipal
government is abroad and is taking
firm hold on the masses of the people.
This has led to some very radical
changes in the laws relating to NUM-
cipal administration of affairs.
There is a distinct loss of confidence
in public officers and employees, grow
ing out of dishonesty, maladministra-
ton and growing extravaganza in mani
agement and control of public affairs
This has exhibited itself, in part, in
the unnecessary multiplication of Of
ficers and employees of cities, the en-
ployment of two men to do one man S
work, the tendency to make public Of
flee a reward for political services, to
give to individual public officers the
right to name city employees instead of
seeking men solely for their fitness for
the service to be rendered and gen.
eral laxity and negligence In those
whose prime duty it should be to econ
onlze and preserve the funds contrib
uted by the taxpayers of the city.
People Demand Relief
Consequently the people are demand
ing, and justly demanding, laws that
will, as far as may be. protect them
from these evils and at the Same time
authorize such expenditures as may be
necessary to keep pace with the rapid
growth of the city.
The present charter embodies the
COMBINED labor of some of our ablest
and best citizens, conscientiously and
intelligently performed. We should, in
our opinion. take full advantage of that
work so far as it meets the present
demands and needs of the city, but
always with view to improving 1t,
If possible, in the light of later devel-
opments and more intelligent and prac-
teal methods of governing municipal
tiles and the subsequent phenomenal
growth of the city and its larger and
more important interests.
In other words. we submit that in
framing a new charter we should look
TO the old with view to adopting such
parts of 1t as may meet with our APP

oRPHEUM'S CURRENT BILL
is LACKING IN DIVERSITY

The current bill at the Orpheum
lacks that diversity vaudeville patrons
have come to expect as their due. For
instance, there are four musical acts
on the program, not counting George
Wilson's contribution. In only one OF
these acts does a woman appear and
her appearance Is by no means note
worthy.
The program is opened by Bailey and
Austin, grotesque eccentrics, who are
mildly amusing in knockabout
comedy stunt which apparently hasn't
been changed either as to dialogue or
business for ten years or more. The
Arlington four singing and dancing
messenger boys" dance much better
than they sing. This isn't saying much,
but the hard-shoe dancing of two mem
bers of the quartet isscleverly exc
cuted.
roster and Foster present an ac.
billed as 1.-THE Volunteer Pianist" IN
which one of them plays piano, his
hands encased In q dozen pairs of nit
tens. Their stunt is funny, but so long
that the fun lags before they are
through.
Sydney Deane and company con-
tribute one of the big acts of the bill.
Their stunt is Christmas on Black
wells Island" 1t has been seen here
before, but Is we'll worth repetition.
George Roland, occupant of cell No. 2,
has a nice knack in comedy and he
has been given a number of good lines.
OF a man he doesn't like he says: I'D
like to break that guys umbrella and
then pray for rain" And there are
other speeches equally as good. The
quartet sings two or three songs, and
Deane himself essays a solo, but 1t Is
the patter than makes the act CO.
Wilson, That's All
George Wilson is the same yesterday,
today and forever. His ooh. pshaw"
is Just as ridiculous as 1t was twenty
years ago and his appreciation Of the
polite art of holding hands quite as
amusing. There are gray-haired men
now in vaudeville, and a few who have
reformed, who began their stage careers
by initiating Wilson. What's more,
they have forgotten just how many
years ago that was
Geiger and Walters offer musical
act, costumed like Italian street
singers. The singing should be classed
as a misdemeanor, but Walters imi-
tations on the violin are about the
best, He almost makes the instrument
talk, and he does make 1t play pipe
organ, the bagpipes and perform other
tricks that ordinarily are regarded as
beneath the dignity of a self-respecting
Strad, though permissible perhaps In
q fiddle.
Two of the best acts on the program
are holdovers from last week. The first
is presented by the Manello-Martinez
troupe of acrobats, three graceful and
pretty young women and a man; the
second, by Imman's trained dogs.

DEATHS EXCEED BIRTHS
IN JANUARY'S RECORD

During January 402 deaths were re-
corded in Los Angeles and only 1853
births.
There were sixty-four deaths from
white plague, most of the cases being
in advanced stages when the patients
came to Los Angeles from the east,
which accounts for the large death
rate. Only one fatality from typhoid
fever was recorded.
There were thirty-four deaths from
heart disease. which doctors attribute
largely to the prevalence of grip and
the worry over the recent furry.
OF the births 1870 were boys and 1858
girls.

also to give a number of interesting

pears that there were smoked in this
country last year cigarettes to the mum
Der OF 55,402.336, 113. not counting the
little cigars. From the same report it is
apparent that the consumption of spiritu-
Gus liquors is on the decrease. On the
other hand, the consumption of beer is
increasing. During the fiscal year S131,-
1922 was paid to the government on

distilled was over 10000 900 gallons. In

BORAX IN TIE DAIRY.
A Matter of Profitable Interest to
the Farmer and Dairyman.

The problem of keeping sweet all the
utensils used in connection with milk
and cream selling, and butter making,
has been 4 serious one with the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that the
slightest faint or hint of staleness left
in a can, tin or churn may ruin Il whole
output; that the faint which is left is
in the form of bacteria which grow and
multiply in milk or butter, producing
disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy resi-
due in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves Il
residue of its own which is. if any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been Il constant clamOr for Il
dairy cleanser and sweetener that Will
meet modern requirements.
\ few of the largest creamery esta5-
lishments have called experts into CON
sultati0n on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a pro-
duct of nature which exactly fills the
bill-borax.
Scientists have long known borax as
a cleanser. a sweetener and an anti
SEPTIC destroyer of bacteria and germ
grOWths. Destroys all that is harmful
and promotes and preserves freshness,
sweetness and purity, relieving the
dairyman and dairy housewife of
drudgery and of needless work and
worry.
Its ~cheapness and value should give
it first place in the necessities of every
dairy.
The cows udder is kept in q clean,
healthy and smooth condition by wash
ing it with borax and water. a table
spoonful of borax to two quarts of
Water.
This prevents %roughness and sore
ness or cracking teats, which make
milking time a dread to the COW and a
worry to the mixer.
The modern cleanser of all dairy
utensils consists of-one tablespoonful
of borax to every quart of water need
ed. Remember tablespoonful equals
four teaspoOnfuls.
