STRONGLY URGES STUDY or
HENRY GEORGES WRITINGS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26.-[Editor
Herald: Into your Pandora Letter
Box" permit me to inject disturbing
criticism. Every "ist" who has an
ism" finds a vent, seemingly. in the
"box." 1t forms good ''pop-valve"
for surplus intellectual energy, beats
the street corners and lodges the po-
lice. It's numerous contributors show
excellent spirit, a broad field of read
ing, yet an almost appalling ignorance
of the A B C's of political and eco
nomic science.
For instance: Economist" gave you
a large list of books relating to indi-
vidualism in which he mentioned the
great Tolstoy, leaving out the fact that
the world-eminent Russian has several
times, in powerful letters, declared that
the worlds salvation, socially, depends
on the recognition and application OF
the philosophy OF our greatest Ameri-
can writer on sociology-Henry George.
For unstated reasons nearly every
'ism-iSe" steers clear of the George
ian philosophy. Yet it is as impossible
to be a master-thinker in social SCI
ence while ignoring that philosophy as
1t Is to be a physicist while denying the
law of gravity" or an astronomer
when unacquainted with mathematics.
Henry Georges influence is doing
more to mold the worlds thought along
LILIES u praclicai CONSTRUCTIVE states-
manship than that of any modern So
cial writer, living or dead. His PRO
lection or Free Trade" Social Prob
lems," and Condition of Labor" cover
fiscal. social and ethical questions, po-
litically current, better than any other
three books that l know of. There Is
this one powerful objection to them.
however. that is truly horrifying to an
'ism-ite"-they irresistibly impel to
philoSophic democracy Perhaps ninety
per cent of the American Georgeians
are working for Bryan and the De-
mocracy as the only great American
party that is moving along the lines of
sound economic principles and pure
ideal of craftsmanship. Is this why
"ism-ites" stear clear of him?

VOTE FOR STEPHENS

ON THE broad ground of patriotism
and the promotion of public inter-
~ ests we advocate strongly the cleo
ton of that able and experienced jur-
list and excellent Democratic citizen,
Judge Albert Lee Stephens, as SUI
perior judge. There is no reason ex-
cept stiff-necked partisanship why all
nine of the superior judges should be
members of the same political organi-
cation. Judge Stephens qualifica-
lions for the office have never been
questioned. He is one of the most
learned and experienced lawyers and
one of the ablest jurists in this COM
munity or in this state. Judge Steph-
ems election will mean that on the
superior bench there will be one DEM
ocrat to eight Republicans. Many
predetermined Republicans see this
would be beneficial, and "for the good
of the service" will vote for Judge
Stephens.
Democrats should remember it is not
necessary to mark four superior judges
on their ballots. Those who wish to
see Judge Stephens elected can accom-
plish this desired result by voting for
him solely.

TARIFF REFORM

n EPUBLICAN prosperity will not
Il. bear analysis. Apart altogether
Ia from the fact that the Republican
policies ended in an anticlimax of ma
tional Industrial disaster and distress,
the effects of which will not be fully
overcome until the election of Bryan
and Kern has restored confidence, sta
tistics and examples show that during
the long Republican reign the average
cost of living in the United States has
been increased out Of all proportion to
wages and salaries, which, excepting in
the unionized trades, have been de-
creased.
Shoes that cost SO a pair in 1896 now
cost 81 and S., because materials have
gone up So per cent. Trust controlled,
tariff protected sole leather has been
increased in price over 40 per cent.
Beefsteak that cost 16 cents a pound
in 1896 now costs "a cents. Increase
in population outstrips increase in sup
ply; therefore, without any artificial
interference, there would have been
natural increase in price, based on the
beef trust was not contented with the
increase of business opportunity as
sured to it by increase of population.
The more it got, the more it wanted
BY the Republican administration the
country was placed at the mercy of
the trust. South American beef, which
would have introduced a healthy ele-
ment of competition and would not
have damaged popular American inter-
ests, was barred by the tariff. The
consequence was the trust magnates
made their own prices, not only to the
public to whom it sold beef, but to the
ranchers and cattle dealers from whom
received less and less for their skilled
industry in breeding and raising beef
cattle for markets, the American con-
sumner paid more and more for his
meat, and the beef trust pocketed the
loss of the cattle growers, as well as the
exorbitant profit it wrung from con-
sumers.
The tariff kept clothing merchants
from importing foreign wooden goods.
Therefore the price of clothing has been
increased. A suit OF clothes exactly
like one which in 1896 would have cost
$25, today costs $35. There has been
no corresponding increase of wages
paid to men or women engaged in the
clothing industry. On the contrary,
there has been tendency to decrease
wages and to get as much as possible
of the time, skill, strength and life Of
the clothing workers for as little money
as possible. Window glass which in
1896 cost rs cents costs $1.SS. So the
Republicans have reformed what
sounds like an impossible feat; they
have managed to put a tax on daylight
and sunshine,
Because of the tariff which enriches
few, it costs AZ per cent more to live
under Republican than it did under
Democratic government. Democratic
tariff reform is an urgent necessity.

BELIEVES couNTRYs VIEW OF
ROOSEVELT HAS CHANGED

LONG BEACH, Oct. 27.-IEditor Her
ald.1-Is Roosevelt patriot or ponti-
clan? Had this question been asked
year ago the answer would nave peen
almost unanimous: A patriot OF the
first water; a trust. buster, and saw
Tor of his country. If asked now a
very different answer would come from
an exceedingly large majority.
/ admired Teddy till he fell down pc
fore the convention that nominated him
after so much blowing about what l
am going to do" After that I lost con-
fidence in him, and developments from
that time have confirmed my suspi-
cjon that his boasted patriotism was
sham, and his trust-busting merely a
subterfuge to cover the real design or
his actions and Boosting. He we'll knew
no man could be elected president who
favored or stood in with the trusts.
Hence the necessity of "a fight against
them, If only a sham fight.
AS evidence of the correctness OF my
conclusions, has anyone suffered from
his ust-busting crusade? Has any
fine been collected? Has rebatlng per-
ished from off the earth, or even di-
minished? Why has he given up the
busting trade and sought new field
for his operations?
I have but little doubt he is now
playing the secret tactics learned from
the railroads, and that there has all
the time been an understanding that
no harm should come from these trust
busting suits.
If / am right in my conclusions, you
will hear little, If anything, about
trusts after next Tuesday. II l am
wrong, the dustin" will go on and

H HE state machine, which Is the
real legislature and gives its pro-
h gram to the pretended Legislature

ways very solicitous to have Southern
California Republicans vote for the ma

give Southern California any nomina-
tions or show 1t any practical consid-
Grafton. The purpose of tho legislative
committee appointed to investigate the
harbors of the state furnishes an IN
stance In point. says the Los Angeles
Express.
Los Angeles is to have about $4,000
year for ten years for its harDor,
while San Francisco is to have a mil
lion year for the same purpose for
the same period. There is no consid-
Grafton upon which so gross q discrimi-
nation can be justified. Assemblyman
Leeds, who is member of the COM
mittee, and who is q candidate for re-
election, not only betrays his constltu-
ents by indorsing that plan, but favors
placing tile San Pedro harbor under
control of state harbor board.
This same Leeds has written an inn
pudent letter to the Municipal Water
ways association, saying:
at Is a matter of considerable sur
prise to me that your organization did
not take any interest in this matter I'M
til the opening of the present cam
paign, when it is thrown into the news
papers, apparently to embarrass the
Republican nominees to the legisla-
ture."
IF IL is embarrassing to any candi-
date for legislative honors to ask him
where he proposes to take his stand In
a great matter of vital Importance
to the growth and prosperity of the
state, we trust that the association
will not permit the fact to prevent 1t
from pursuing to an effective conclusion

made by Joseph II. Call, president OF
the waterways association:
when we expend a million dollars Q
month for buildings, the value OF halI
of all the materials used In eonstruc-
ton is paid for transportation. For
the new government postoffice the
granite used In it's construction Is
brought from the distant east at sonle-
thing like $40 ton for transportation,
while we have an abundance Of the best
granite in the world at the gates of the
city; and the steel and iron for that
building is brought from Pittsburg ana
the east paying the railroad sis ton
for TRANSFORMATION, while there is tho
greatest abundance of iron so near to
the harbor of San Pedro that the cost
of transportation for iron ore would not
be over 81 ton.
"The coal used throughout the city
for which we pay $40 and s12 ton
can be purchased on Puget Sound at
$3.50 ton and transported by water
to Los Angeles for the price OF W a
ton-and so 1t is with all of the ar
ticles in buildings and for other uses

man system permanently to maintain
the San Francisco gateway as the har-
Dor and terminal for California, and the
influence of that great system and Of
San Francisco will be steadily felt In
opposition to opening harbor for Los

And until politicians are compelled TO
prefer the interests of Los Angeles to
the interests of the Southern Pacific
railroad those conditions will endure
unchanged to hamper its prosperity ana
impede it's growth.

Join in the paeans of praise and Ju-
bilation over the settlement" of the
dog question. What idiotic idea is this
that possesses so many of us: that in
everything we do--through law or pub

be a victim? For instance, we nave
come to the relief of the dog by abol-
ishing the dog catcher; but we have
not the sense to do this without put
ting on the dogs master the burden
and indignity of liability to arrest
In a sudden access of humanitarian
feeling we have resolved to settle our
debt to Paul, so we plan to rob Peter
in doing so. Or. like Charles Lamb s
Chinaman, we think that in order to
have roast pork there is no way short
of burning our house down.
How many years will it take us In
this part of the world to learn the
simple lesson in common sense afford
ed by any up-to-date city in the world
from London downward - that for
breach of city ordinances and other
non-felonious derelictions, summons
and not arrest is the proper and rea-
sonable method?
AS to the financial aspect of the new
plan, it is painfully evident to me, or
to anyone reading between the lines,
that it is to be graft again from the

"considerate'' provision that children
may pay their dog fees by instruments,

TAFT AND ROCKEFELLER

TN ORDER to insure stability of

i the continued prosperity of the
Standard Oil trust, John D. Rockefel-
Ter will vote for Taft and Sherman.
He gives various alleged reasons for
the intention, but most readers will
&gree that Mr.. Bryan diagnosed the

statements, he said
"Mr. Rockefeller is for Mr.. Taft be-
cause Mr.. Taft is for Mr.. Rockefeller.
He is for Mr.. Taft because Mr.. Taft
is in sympathy with the trusts"
Rockefeller's promise to support Re-
publicanism and Taft has given Mr..

Mr. Taft's election will make for law
and order" comments Mr.. Bryan.
THIS is FALSE. Mr.. Rockefeller's

CANNONISM

NANNONISM is a word used to ex-
press opposition TO popular prog
~ ress, opposition to reform, oppo-
sition to economy, opposition to free
dom of speech, opposition to parliament
tary fairplay. opposition to everything
and everybody but trust plans and
trust representatives. 1t is to be hoped,
for the sake Of the American nation,
that upright, downright old obstruc-
zionist, Uncle Joe Cannon, will not be
reelected.
That church and a temperance e1e-
ment are both opposed to him does not
of course constitute a political reason
for mis- defeat, but it shows clearly
that among his own constituents there
must be many whom he neither could
nor would represent. one of his advo-
Gates says: when so many dangers
threaten us, the country can i'll spare
his long proven services" The dan
gers referred to are those which, in
The jauudiced opinion of a prejudiced
contemporary, will follow the rapidly
approaching Democratic victory.
This contemporary thinks that even
if all else is lost. there will still be
hope for the "interests" if Cannon and
Cannonism are picked out of the Re-
publican wreckage. We do not think
the salvage is worth the expenditure of
our friends epithetical energy.
Even with the aid of Cannon the Re-
publicans could not protect the inter
ests which owe their existence and
fiourishing condition to the comfort
and support of Republican legislation.
AS chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee and as speaker of the house,
Cannon has saved the trusts millions
upon millions of dollars and has ex-
posed the country to much vicious leg
islauon.
