STATE SPIRIT IS
RIFE IN NORTH
READY FOR ANYTHING FOR
GOOD OF COAST
SAN PEDRO HARBOR MEANS
MORE SHIPPING
A. p. Fleming Returns from San
Francisco and Explodes Idea
That Los Angeles Plans
Are Opposed

A. P. Fleming, secretary of the Los
Angeles harbor commission, returned
from San Francisco yesterday with an
enthusiastic belief in the growth of a
common state spirit at that city and at
Los Angeles. He thinks the talk of
bitter feeling toward this section OF
California in the bay cities has no act
ual foundation, for he found instead a
strong spirit for constructive work.
4 was surprised" said MIR. Fleming,
Ito find the appreciation, especially
among the shipoWnerS, that San Fran
cisco has for the need of general eff
fort to advance the Pacific coast AS
one prominent man said to me, large
harbor at San Pedro means more ship
ping coming to San Francisco; not
only that. but it means more shipping
for California, and that means indi-
rectly more business for San Francisco.
Conversely, the upbuilding of Califor-
mia business through San Francisco
makes for the good of Los Angeles
1T is very evident that there is a
feeling among business men in both
cities that more can be gained by unit
ing in an effort to say nationally that
the Pacific coast has the strongest sort
of a claim for recognition and improve
ment California can offer more on
ten acres than any eastern state can
do with 100, and there is more good in
presenting truths IKE TINS imam IN TAX
ing UP time to belittle each other.
u believe we are about to see more
extensive and united effort to upbuild
the state than has ever been the case
heretofore. Los Angeles has a right to
be proud of the magnificent way in
which San Francisco has gone ahead
since her disaster. They certainly have
a wonderful city and a splendid public
spirit.
ct ,,o+icad Dartic1l1ar1v the pomnli-
mentarv way in which San Francisco
business men spoke of the united way
in which Los Angeles goes after any
thing. They say that when the harbor
or the good roads or any other big
thing is up in Los Angeles the papers
will be found unanimously behind It,
and this evokes their admiration"
