CENTRAL BANK

~ GORGE NJ. REYNOLDS, president
VT of the American Bankers associa-
" ton, has brought the question Of
a central bank much nearer the public
by using a happy and well chosen
phrase in describing it. He has called
it a bank of the people and for the
people," The people will be stockhold-
ers. Anyone will be allowed to buy the
bank stock just as he would govern
ment bonds. The purpose of the bank
is to steady the conditions surrounding
business interests and thereby safe
guard those interests in such a way an
emergency like that resulting from the
panic of 1907 will be out of the question.
President Taft views the project
are friendly to the plan it is believed
it will steady financial conditions to
such an extent the average prosperity
of the country will be increased. The
central bank would be in effect a way
of assuring a constant flow of currency,
and might perhaps be called currency
insurance. With the country in the
enjoyment of renewed prosperity, with
out the slightest suggestion of any dis
tubring element, it would seem to be
timely to give consideration to plans
and methods of eliminating the word
panic" from the financial vocabulary
of the nation, which under normal con-
ditions and without interference is by
far the most prosperous in the world.

ALLEGES S4 PER CENT OF
TOBACCO SMOKE is POISON

LOS ANGELES, Oct. S.-[Editor
Herald: have taken deep interest in
the views given in the Letter Box and
have been trying to keep quiet, but
must say I heartily agree with DR.,
Dow, Old Smoker, and E. e. Eads, who
are contributing to the Letter Box on
the subject of smoking on the street
cars. AS DR.. Dow and 1 are the same
age I fully concur with him In wishing
to live to see the vile nuisance and un-
gentlemanly practice kept from our
street cars entirely.
Very few persons know that 81 per
cent of tobacco smoke is rank poison,
and it is running hundreds of thousands
of young men and boys annually.
All gentlemen do and can refrain
from smoking in the presence of ladies
and in public places, and L think all
others who do not should be compelled
to do so.
L am always compelled to ride in the
middle of the car to keep from being
made sick by the nasty, sinking,
poisonous tobacco smoke.
I agree with Rev. DR.. Torrey, who
said: Tobacco users have just as much
right to spit their tobacco juice in the
water we drink as to puff their tobacco
smoke in other faces"
l failed to see Nick's defense in yes
terday's Herald by alluding to the cul-
tivation of tobacco in the south and
the revenue the government derives
from it's sale, and the great amount he
uses. What has that to do with his
right to smoke in the street cars to the
discomfort of others? 1 hope a law will
soon be made prohibiting smoking
everywhere. J. N. c.

UTILITIES COMMISSION

A PUBLIC utilities commission ap-
u pointed by the council, in the
IA fashion proposed by the measure
with which Mr.. Dromgold sought to
cross-fire the plans of the Municipal
league, would bring the commission so
dangerously near the sphere of activity
known as ward politics" that it is easy
to understand the hostility to the adop-
tion of such a plan that has been de-
veloped among citizens who with q
square deal' measure inclosed by a
fence warranted not TO be a hiding
place for Philippians would have given
their assent to any plans that would
further the formation of a commission.
The Municipal league proposed three
member commission, named by the
mayor.
Dromgold however, wants to confer
on the council the power of nominating
five-member commission, which would
be satisfactory to Mr.. Dromgold, the
council and the rest. 1t should be
noted, too, the Dromgold plan is gener-
ously salaried, the five members Qn-
cluding an attorney, an engineer and
an accountant) being down on the list
for $1,000 each per annum, while the
secretary is to receive $24OO a year.
| The Municipal league ordinance has
made no provision for salaries or for
subordinates, and is drawn with the
expectation the board will command
the services of the city attorney and an
engineer when needed, and may en-
ploy such expert assistance as may be
required.
1t seems to be settled Los Angeles
will have a public utilities commission.
But the point at issue is whether the
commission is to be ION the pay roll"
Cby the say so of councilmen) or purely
patriotic (by the say so of the mayor,
In another important respect the
league ordinance differs from Drom-
COLDS. The league proposed ordinance
requires that every applicant for a
franchise for any public service must
first be referred to the board for in
vestigation and report, and no franchise
may be advertised for sale until the
board has reported.

BELIEVES MINISTER OFFERED
AN INSULT TO INGERSOLL

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4.-[Editor Her
add: In The Herald of September 27
notice that the rector of st. Paurs pro-
cathedral classes Col. Ingersoll's lecture
on the mistakes of Moses" with the
novel "Three Weeks" Here is Rector
MacCormack, as quoted by The Herald:
''It would not be possible to read such
a book as Three Weeks in the hearing
of our children. 1t would not be right
or fair to read such lecture as Inger-
soils on Moses in the presence of i'm
mature minds. But why should we not
read the Bible in the public schools?"
I need scarcely say to intelligent per-
sons that the implied malicious insult
to Ingersoll is entirely unwarranted. 1t
would be equally candid and honorable
to compare Huxley's MANS Place in
Nature" with the Song of Solomon"
We should not allow the children to
listen to the great Liberals exposure
of the mistakes of Moses, but we should
allow them to hearken to reverent read.

OF logic and honesty shall be consider
that? L. r. HARDING.

NATURAL RESOURCES

N OBSERVATION of the natural re-
sources of the United States is
~ policy that is attracting world
wide attention, because, after all, the
entire family of mankind is interest
ed in the natural resources of every
part of the world, and if the commu-
nifty of interest had been realized
sooner and there had been an inter-
national agreement TO take good care
Of this big magnificent planet en-
trusted to the keeping Of mankind,
much that has been done would have
been left undone. while undoubtedly
many Of the things left undone would
have been done.
DR.. Armstrong Of the University of
London told the students of the high
school England had learned too late
the lesson of the necessity of conser-
walton, a fact which in great measure
is responsible for the absolute de-
pendence of the inhabitants of the
crowded southern section of Britain
on the outside world for all manner
of supplies. England's salvation has
been the development of modern man
ufacturing methods. That alone has
prevented national disaster. A plenti-
full supply of coal and water have en-
abled her to become as it were, a
manufacturing station for all man
kind Scotland and ireland are today,
in proportion to their population,
richer in natural resources than is
Gently has been tied by a system Of
exploitation which left her people
bare. Sane and patriotic legislation
has sent them back to the soil. and
the population of Ireland is more in
dependent and more prosperous than
it has ever been in modern times.
Scotland's natural resources belong
rather to interests landed and COM
mercial than to the people, and many
absurd and ridiculous laws still i'm
pede the proper use of the natural re-
sources and riches of the country-a
large part Of which might well be
called the Pennsylvania of the British
isles. These laws, bad and unjust and
ridiculous as they are in many re-
spects, are probably better from the
conservationist's point of view than
are the absolute latitude and unfet-
tered and needless liberty which for
years marked the spendthrift use of
the natural resources of the United
States. But, as DR.. Armstrong said,
america has yet time to save for the
future"
And doubtless the force of public
opinion, strongly directed against any
future weyerhausering Of the timber
lands or other natural treasures of
the nation. will insist that policies of
conservation and not of exploitation
shall henceforth mark the nations
course when moneymakers are deal
ing with the giant crops above and
under the earth planted and sown, not
by hand of man but by the fiat of the
Eternal.

COMPLACENCE

A FREDERICK COLLINS, the
u wireless telephone man, says
AA' the only fault that can be found
with Los Angeles, is 1t puts people
in too complacent a humor An old
Scotch prayer was Lord, send us a
guild conceit o. oorsels." but the citi-
zens of Los Angeles, while they are
self-respecting, dignifed, progressive,
and sanely ambitious, have not q
"guid conceit O. themselves. 1t is of
their city they have a "guid conceit," f"
and they have an excellent right to be
contented with Los Angeles, even
though their contentment and their
consciousness of the superiority of this
metropolis over all other cities on the
map of North America may give them
an outward aspect of complacence.
Brother Collins will find, however,
the people of Los Angeles are far from
being complacent in the sense of being
| easy going when conditions are not
such as are demanded by the highest
standards of good citizenship and civic
righteousness. We think the best is
not too good for Los Angeles, and
therefore it should have the best of
everything, including the best men for
office.
| The habit of professionalizing what
office holding has not obtained such a
hold on this city as it has on many
others. The thought of machine domi-
nation became intolerable to the people
as soon as they were conscious there
was real danger of such domination,
and the community quickly adopted
ways and means of freeing itself from
bossism and it's attendant evils.
| 1t is practically impossible to have
machine politics or bossism without
graft in one form or another, sooner
or later in the history of the machine.
Everybody knows this. 1t is a trite
commonplace. No city that has been
under machine influences any great
| length of time has failed upon investi-
cation to demonstrate the utter i'm
possibility of allowing machine to
run the city, and at the same time
of conducting the affairs of the city
according to the code of ethics and
the high political principles embraced
in the word Americanism.
There is no need to apologize for
| the complacency of the citizen who
regards the wonderful-the magical
growth of Greater Los Angeles, and the
swift and sure advance of this metro
politan city to the premiership of all
the cities Of the west. But il will not
do to view complacently the efforts
Of professional politicians, or corpora
ton hirelings and heelers, to mar the
advance of Los Angeles, and to tie II
up and embarrass it in such way cor
porationism may get a strangle hold
on this great city of progress, prosper
ity, enterprise, honesty, courage, faith
and good fortune.

COUNCIL CANDIDATES

r OS ANGELES is to be congratu-
lated on the fact that Judge John
- D. Works and William J. Wash
burn have consented to serve as candi-
dates for the council. Judge Works is
leader of the Los Angeles bar, a
former member of the supreme court
of California and president of the City
club
William ]. Washburn is president Of
the Equitable Savings bank, former
president of the board of education,
member of the last charter revision
commission and former president OF
the chamber of commerce.
The announcement men of such
weight and worth in the community
are willing to serve on the council is
an inspiringly hopeful sign. Better
days are in store for Los Angeles. The
/ best citizenship will be represented on
the body entrusted with the conduct OF
the business of Los Angeles. With
leading citizens in the council the pros
perity of Los Angeles will be increased,
because confidence is an element of
prosperity, and a council of 'strong
men" will inspire confidence. The
Herald thanks the citizens who have
consented to run and congratulates Los
Angeles on the fact that the direct
primary amendment is already bearing
good fruit by bringing to the front
politically men who may be depended
upon to serve the people "to the very
best of their ability" and the ability
of the gentlemen named, like their in
tegrity, is of the highest order.
