RAILROAD RAIDERS

N attempt by the railroads to adj
IA vance freight rates in the east
- caused such furious opposition,
accompanied by such vehement OUT
pourings of speech and such cogent
argument that under pressure of public
opinion the railroads were compelled
to abandon their announced purpose
of increasing rates. Having won their
own battle the eastern newspapers are
devoting attention to the fight in Cali
fornia and the west, and they are ex-
pressing the opinion that if the ad-
vance announced and contemplated
should be allowed to go into effect it
viii have a most serious end disastrous
effect on Pacific coast business; In
fact, according to eastern newspapers.
viii absolutely kill certain branches of
transcontinental business.
Any corporation which will sacrifice
an American industry in order to fill
its pockets is an enemy to the republic.
The proposed advance in rates is
treachery to the business interests of
west and east and is treason to this
republic, which is a big. business Or
ganization, the affairs of which, ac-
cording to Its oft auoted prospectus.
should be conducted with an eye to
the advancement Of the interests Of
the many rather than the aggrandize-
ment of the few, and with a view Of
bringing about conditions which will
assure to the greatest number of citi-
zens the greatest good.
Since the New York papers have
warned us of the probable effect of the
proposed increase in freight rates, is
it not time to cease sitting with folded
hands and with faces wearing an ex-
preston of resignation?
1t is time to be up and doing, isn't
it? The papers of the east are willing
to aid California in this matter. They
are already volunteering their help. If
the proposed increase is allowed to go
into effect California producers and
consumers will contribute to the cof-
fers of the railroads a sum estimated
at from 100000 to $10,0O0,00O annu-
ally in addition to the tribute already
paid.

GOOD NEWS

" AvING found that the iron ore
resources of Southern California,
IL Arizona and Utah are unlimited.
and that San Pedro harbor will give
commercial facilities far superior to
those of San Francisco or any other
available port, a representative of east
ern interests with capital of $5o000,-
900 has reported to his principals In
favor of the establishment between
Long Beach and Wilmington Of steel
plant which will employ 5000 men and
induce 10000 persons to come to Los
Angeles county.
This is good Prosperity news. and Is
an example Of what may be expected
as result of San Pedro harbor
and the completion of the PAN
anna canal. Los Angeles owes a debt
of gratitude to the citizens who have
fought for free harbor at San Pedro,
and the extent of their indebtedness to
tho philosophical far-sighted men who
fought for the harbor will be more and
moro apparent. for we are sure the $50. :
100000 steel industry which has been
attracted hither by the industrial and
commercial possibilities following So
luton of the harbor problem is only
the advance guard of a great indus
trial army which will make Southern
California the most prosperous part of
the United States.
The development Of Southern Call
fornia has only been begun, and the
Industrial parade, which formed an i'm
pressive feature Of the Prosperity Week
celebration, gave only an inkling Of
what may be expected when a few more
chapters OF the Industrial and COM
rnercial history Of Southern California
have been written.
