TAXING POWER

A T THE root of the crisis in the
n United Kingdom is exactly the
"A same condition which preciptated
the American Revolution, namely, the
power to tax. The commons repre-
senting the people, say this is their
prerogative. 1t is obvious on the very
face of it that the plain people are not
represented in the house of lords. A
Liberal statesman thus summarizes
the matter: I'VE can have no dealings
with the lords on the finance. AS
the commons made the finance bill, it
must remain and we absolutely refuse
to compromise on any tax or on any
clause. The lords have no more right
to reject the finance bill than has the
crown TO refuse its assent to that bill.
They have no power to impose taxes.
They have no power to take them off.
We stand where all the great states
men of the past have stood. We wish
to take no different line, but we resist
every new assumption in theory, every
aggression in act. The house of COM
mons and the house of commons alone
is and must remain the sole imposer
and remitter OF taxation"
This s~Inds like 1776.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-21
FADDISTS? "HUH!"

~ UR incorrigible tory, the reac-
~ tionary Republican morning daily
paper, apparently cannot be cured
OF the idea that Good Government is a.
fad. Our contemporary is as thor
onghly obsessed by the fad notion as
was the unfortunate Dickens character
who could not write an article on any
subject without getting King Charles
Firsts head mixed up with IT. The re-
form movement in all its aspects
and developments is broadly charac-
terized by our friend as a fad.
Our friend clings to the delusion the
primary form of selection and nomina-
tion is fad just as closely as he clings
to the delusion reform in general is a
fad. This has been the weakness of
the reactionaries ever since that early
period of the worlds history when they
stood on nearby knoll and hooted at
Faddist Noah who was hammering
merrily at the ark timbers.
The faddist went on with his work
unconcernedly, and if the old story is
true it was a mighty good thing for us
he did not allow the yelping ante
diluvian tories to swerve him from
his purpose.
From that day to this, the reformers
and progressivists who have evolved"
the world from chaotic conditions to
the more orderly social state which now
characterizes it, have been jeered at as
faddists, revolutionaries, reds and
what not.
The good government fad represents
progress and economy, and will result
in such a vast monetary saving to Los
Angeles as well as such a strengthen
ing of the city's credit that even view
ing the subject as one of dollars and
cents we predict with the utmost con-
fdenee good government will place the
city financially on a sound basis and
enable Los Angeles to continue to pros
per in the good Los Angeles way.
The attempt to make people consider
the cost of elections instead of the cost
of government is an old, old dodge.
Tammany Hall used It in New York to
cover its sinuous tracks, and before
Tammany Hall adopted it, who was it's
principal exponent and eXemplar but
one Bill Tweed?
Honest elections never are expensive.
Dishonest or unrepresentative or un-
fortunate elections are always eXpen-
sive, even if the money expended on
them is small. 1t is impossible to fool
the people of Los Angeles, and the sta
tistician who tries to divert public at
tention from the economies of Good
Government to the incidental expenses
of necessary election proceedings is as
trustworthy a guide as blatant blind
man in the Cretan labyrinth, trying to
make up by much believing for what
he lacks in perceptive power.

FEATHERS

NROM a picture taken of a woman
who can navigate ain airship we
II notice that even while up aloft
she wears a big hat with feathers in
it, Now. why do women wear feath-
ers in their hats? When did they first
begin to wear them? After they are
in every other respect completely civ
ilized. will women still continue to
wear feather bonnets and hats? North
American Indians and Scotsmen were
not the only male beings who ever
wore feathers.
A historic rhyme tells us the orig
inal yankee Doodle" came to town
riding on a pony, that he stuck a
feather in his cap and called out
"Macaroni!" This reminds us the old
English "macaroni" and cavaliers
wore feathers, and it was considered
a sign OF superiority. But why? What
phase of atavism is represented by the
proneness of the human family to wear
feathers in their headgear?
The persistent survival of an mex
plicable custom is illustrated in a re-
markable way by the woman up aloft,
no sits in a twentieth century diri-
gible balloon and from time to time
wonders whether her feathered hat is
on straight!

RIGHT TRACK

~ r. f. c. MOORE, speaking at the
Los Angeles city school district
~ institute, said educators are on
the right track concerning school gov
ernment. He added:
I'm the matter of discipline we are
learning more and more. each day.
Every child presents a new
problem and the parents of the child
are in themselves a problem of not less
magnitude. l am glad we have
gotten away from that age when we
tiptoed around the room with halting
steps and afterWard tiptoed around
the world in the same manner when
all our originality was squeezed out"
DR.. Moore and other experienced ed
ucators realize not only that a mans
a man for a that, but that he must be
trained for separate manhood, for in
divlduality, for responsibility. Our
friends and benefactors, the educators,
in E-DUCATI0yG our boys and girls
in bringing out their latent qualities
and developing their innate talents
and teaching them what their individ-
ual responsibilities are. and what it
means for each ONE Of them to be a
good American, living his OWN life,
are on the right track.

HAVE YOU SHOPPED?

n r course you have attended to your
Christmas shopping. After all
" that has been written and said on
the subject of shopping early it is un-
thinkable you have postponed until the
holiday week this highly important
part of the holiday ceremony.
How happy you must be when you
reflect you have contributed to the
happiness of others by shopping early!
All who have shopped early can read
with clear consciences OF the Christmas
rush. But perhaps there won't be such
a terrific scramble this year as in the
years gone by. Probably most Of the
good people of Los Angeles have done
their principal shopping ana the store
attendants will not be harassed and
worried by feverish, eager-eyed
wretches of whom, of course, you could
not be one, who, in spite of good ad.
vice, repeated daily, have put off until
the last few days-or the last few hours
the shopping which, executed earlier,
would have been a dignided, agreeable,
leisurely satisfactory pastime a bless
ing to the shopper and to the shop at
tfndapt

LOOKING FORWARD

I OS ANGELES HERALD has pub
j lished figures and facts concern
ing the wonderful material pros
perity the festive season" brings to
Los Angeles. A years increase in
prosperity has been remarkable, and
1t is safe to prophesy the business
transacted during the coming year
again win break all records. The out
look is gratifying.
But Los Angeles has established a
high standard of government and of
ethics as well as of business. Next
years record must be one Of ethical
and social as we'll as material progress.
With offceholders who, from Mayor
Alexander all along the line, represent
the best citizenship and the most re-
sponsible business interests of Greater
Los Angeles good government may be
expected confidently.
On our city council will be reliable,
honest citizens, men of sagacity and
business experience, and our municipal
government will be strong as well as
good
The result of this will be a year of
normal prosperity greater than has
characterized any boom year" Los
Angeles is sure she is on the right
road to the commercial manufactur-
ing and maritime supremacy of the
west, and she is going ahead steadily
determinedly, successfully: nulla ves-
tigia retrorsum

CENTRAL REPUBLICS

h HERE is no necessity for lack of
enthusiasm on the part of the
United States over the confedera-
tion of the Central American republics
James G. Blaine was a statesman
whose views on the destiny of the
United States as a world power were so
far in advance Of those of his contem-
poraries that he was denounced fercely
for the 'jingo policies" which are the
aggressive and defensive national pol
icies of our country today!
Blaine introduced the subject Of the
alliance or federation Of all the Ameri-
can republics, not on blood ties or SEN
timentality, but on strictly business
principles, resting on the foundational
fact they represented a distinctively
American and Occidental type of civ
ilization. We should never forget that
European civilization is not Occidental,
excepting "in spots" 1t is a shading off
from the Oriental, and the further west
we go on the map OF Europe the more
American-like becomes the civilization,
until in France we find an approxima-
tion to 1t at one point, the presidential
centrality Of executive power and in
the United Kingdom at another point,
popular representation and control of
government.
In the Western Hemisphere, how
ever, the great liberators Of the various
republics were Influenced by the ira
ditions and the leaders Of the United
States. The Declaration Of Independ-
ence and the first principles of Ameri-
canism inspired the patriotic fathers
Of our neighbor republics. James G.
Blaine discerned in the Western Hemi-
sphere a solidarity which he thought
should be confirmed by measures more
practical and explicit than the Monroe
doctrine
The federation of all the Latin re-
publics may be looked for confidently.
The Central American movement for
a common understanding is the begin
ming Of it. The federation Of all the
English-speaking states, territories
and dominions Of North America is
coming as a sequel to the Latin fedora
ton, and ere many years the present
British Empire will be a federation of
self-governiug republics, and when a
proposal is made to extend the fedora
ton in order 70 include all the Eng
disappearing countries in a league for
peace and prosperity, Fate will write:
NIL OBSTAT."

CHRISTMAS HERALD

HI HE holiday number of the Los An
geles Herald, published Sunday, is
II the best and biggest newspaper
ever produced and circulated in the
United States. 1t broke all records for
quality and quantity. Not in any other
city in the Union has there ever been
published at any time a newspaper
which for general, all around excellence
could be compared with Sundays Los
Angeles Herald.
There is not a member of The Herald
staff who is not proud of that paper,
and proud of the ability of those di-
rectly connected with it's production.
This magnificent worlds record break
ing holiday edition of Los Angeles
Herald represented worthiy the growth
and prosperity of Los Angeles, and the
growth and prosperity of Los Angeles
Herald, the best daily morning paper
in the west, and easily one of the very
best in the United States.

the women who keep in their proper
sphere" are entirely ignored Man

cipher in the commonwealth. BY get
ing and keeping on the right side of a
husband the cipher adds to his value,
though not increasing her own.
If death wipes out the digit-the

The married woman's taxes may help
to print the city directory. but as long
as her husband lives she is not an in

When did taxation without repre-
sentation cease to be tyranny? Rev.
Anna Howard Shaw Of national and in
ternational fame owned a summer
home on Long Island. She never paid
her taxes thereon without a written
protest.
One day the tax collector called
earlier than usual and she told him she
could not pay him then
"Why not?" he asked fmpatiently,
haven't you the money?' ,
"Oh, yes, 1 have the money all
right" she answered, "but I haven't
got my protest ready, and you know |
couldn't pay my taxes without that"
"And why not?" the man persisted.
'It win cause me a deal of inconven-
ience to call again, and since you have
the money I think / should get it now.
why do you have to protest?"
"Well, first and foremost, my dear
sir" she returned gravely, 'my taxes
are higher than were the mans who
sold me this place. They are third
higher than the mans next door. l
have no voice in the disposing of my
taxes, therefore I say it is tyranny for
a woman to be taxed at all"
"Oh, pshaw," snarled the man CD
"What on earth do you women want to
vote for, anyway?
"Well, in the first place, I'd like to
vote for a different tax assessor. In the
second place I'd like to vote for a diff
ferent tax collector-and, oh, there are
lots of things I'd like to vote for" an
swered the unquenchable Anna.
If all taxpaying women would pay
their assessments under strong protest
perhaps the lords of creation would get
ashamed of themselves and justice pre-
vail sometime.
