HARRIMAN'S WORD

L OS ANGELES expects Mr.. Harri-
/ man TO keep his promise to build
- a new depot. II is unthinkable
that he should have taken anything re-
sembling unfair advantage of the city.
We prefer to believe he was sincere
when he promised a magnificent depot
in return for a valuable site. But Mr..
Hartman has the site, and where's the
depot? Los Angeles is growing so fast
that ample railway station accommoda-
tions, on a metropolitan scale, are not
merely desirable" They are impera-
lively NECESSARY. This is not the
kind of city in which the taxpayer may
sit and whittle while the work stands
still.
Everything Los Angeles has gained
has been the reward OF hard work
honest work, earnest work. Mr.. Harri-
man cannot expect to enter the some
thing for nothing" class without q
protest. Citizens of the something foI
nothing class are not welcome in this
metropolis, where we have a shorter
and uglier name for them.
1t is to be hoped the Hartman mind
will be changed and the Hartman sta
ton built without any further attempt
to mark time" until the government
acts the part of the good fairy to the
poor S. p. and furnishes the where
withal to build. Mr.. Hartman owes 1t
to his reputation to show he is a man of
his word.

WARNS GOVERNMENT PEOPLE
SOME DAY WILL CRY ENOUGH

LOS ANGELES, May Ia Editor
Herald: | notice by a Washington
dispatch in The Herald that Senator
BeVeridge stated to the senate that
the Tobacco trust had robbed the
United States government of over
$1S4 900 in the past eight years. l
also see that the estimated detlclt Tor
the fiscal year ending June 81 i9u9,
will be $4,000, 900. Why should there
be a deficit at all if the Tobacco trust
owes Uncle Sam $1S4,000000? Uncle
Sam Is very strict in Furnishing any
minor offenses and small steals. For
instance a few days ago a postoffice
employe in an eastern town stole 81. He
got five years in the penitentiary
But here is the Tobacco trust, ac-
cused by one of the most prominent
Tinted States senators, in open ses-
sion, of stealing millions continuously
from the government for the past
eight years and there is no notice taken
of it. What does it mean?
And at the end of the civil war,
when the country was bankrupt weak
and sick, congress considered a reg
ular army of $4,000 ample for the de-
Tense and protection of the country.
Now with his unlimited resources of
money and men, well drilled, fully
equipped militia in every state of the
Union, ready to take the field at an
hours notice, Uncle Sam must have
an army of $4,000. And congress pro-
poses to increase the regular army to
that number in the face of the fact
that they know there will be deficit
of. millions of dollars on June 30 and
that It will cost millions of dollars TO
keep up this wholly unnecessary addi-
ton to the army. The American peo-
pie are a very patient breed of humans
to stand for this sort of thing, but
like all long-suffering mortals, when
they do cry Hold, enough" let the
delinquents look to their skins.
For the common people will rise up

MILITARISM

! TN VIEW of the tremendous appro-
priations for warlike purposes that
n are being made, or that are con-
templated, by the people of this peace
full nation, surely it is time to pause
and to count the cost. The military
and naval expenditures of the United
States in a time of peace that is appar
emily profound are of the utmost i'm
portance to every citizen of the coun-
Garner, because, as some of the gov
ernmental minor employees have already
discovered, the wage Garner will be
retrenched ruthlessly in order to pay
the cost Of militarism. 1t cannot be
doubted the influences which are affect
ing the heart of the country will in
time be felt in every part of it, for mil
itarism, excepting for actual and
demonstrable purposes of defense, is
sheer waste, the most prodigal and fool
ish form of extravaganza which has
ever been devised.
Congressman Tawney, chairman of
the committee on appropriations in the
house, is a man whose opinion on the
subject of governmental expenditures
is most valuable. In the discharge of
his faithful stewardship to the people
of the United States he has issued an
appeal to the nation to pause and con-
slider the alarming increase in govern
mental expenditures. In Mr.. Tawneys
opinion the tendency toward excess
MUST be checked In the past eight
years NILITARISM, and the relin-
punishment of certain powers and rights
by the state to the federal government,
have forced congress to appropriate
billions where hundreds of millions less
should have suf1ced; and yet the esti-
mates of the executive branch of the
government for that period were pared
down $43S, 900 900, and many employees
who thought their places and their
incomes were secure for life or during
good behavior were discharged as ruth
lessly as if they had been so many
thieves, vagabonds or drunkards.
During 1908 the United States ex-
pended in preparation for war and on
account of past wars s3S4,SO1, O59.57,
which as a percentage of revenues rep
resented 67.5. In 1906 Great Britain for
similar purposes spent s299, 1926, S21S2, a
sum sufficiently huge, in all conscience,
when it is reduced to it's labor value,
and when we realize how many men it
would employ for useful purposes at
good wages, but the percentage of the
enormous revenue of the richest island
on earth was small when compared with
that of the United States, being only
42.5.
In France, military France, which
dreams of wars and CORY glory, the
total sum spent for militarism was
1921, 941, 1871, which was only 1922 of
the revenues of the thriftiest and most
truly prosperous country in the world.
Germany, keeping even step with the
United Kingdom (much to the discom-
fort of the latter, expended $24S, 7S3,
22O.62, or 42.9 per cent of its revenues.
And in OUR peaceful, non-military ma
ton more than half the revenue is
spent for militarism! National extrav-
agance is a matter which is causing the
gravest apprehension among all citi-
zens who understand to what it may
lead.

LAWLESsNEsS

q ENATOR BAILEY'S address on
lawlessness in high places has at
~ tracted much attention in the
east. In order that the law of the
land may be enforced Mr.. Bailey, wishes
to substitute actual punishments for
those which are merely nominal. 1t is
ridiculous farce to fine a Millionaire.
What are few paltry millions to him?
And has not experience shown the men
of this class would rather expend an
amount equal to the fine in avoiding or
evading payment of fine than pay
it in a gentlemanly, sportsmanlike,
well-bred American way?
The fact that sentences are imposed
which cannot be enforced. or are not
enforced, has a tendency to weaken or
discredit the governmental power in
this republic. Senator Bailey says the
United States Steel corporation is VIC
the country: and he is sure public
sentiment will not permit perpetually
lawlessness in high places.
Unless they change the methods of
doing business adds Mr.. Bailey soon
er or later the officers of the steel cor
roration either will be imprisoned or
win be fugitives from justice. Just put
one of these malefactors of great
wealth in the penitentiary and you will
see the antitrust law enforced without
further violations. Send to the peni-
Tertiary one of these men who may be
found violating either the interstate
commerce law or the antitrust law,
and you will stop these violations by
others. You cannot do it with fines.
BECAUSE WHEN A COURT FINES
A TRUST, THE TRUST FINES THE
PEOPLE AND AS LONG AS THE
PUNISHMENT IS MEASURED IN
DOLLARS AND CENTS THEY WILL
CONTINUE TO VIOLATE THE LAW.
Men will take the chance of pecuniary
loss In the hope of realizing a greater
pecuniary gain. Send one of them to
the penitentiary. and 1t will work like
magic.
1.-THE millionaire values one thing
more than his fortune, and that is his
liberty. He does not love justice. He
does not love that peace of mind for
which, others struggle. He loves his
liberty"
We believe SO firmly in the final
good" of human nature that we think a
new era Millionaire will show a keen
sense of responsibility to the people by
whose consent he is rich That this
sense of responsibility should be lack
ing is a much more serious matter to
the billionaires themselves than to any
other citizens. If some of the more pow
erful billionaires or trust magnates
who have shown they are lawless
should form themselves into society
for the advancement of radicalism the
action would not be more surprising
than their conduct, which is such a
provocative to the extremists that from
the conservative American point of
view 1t must be regarded as a public
menace hardly less than reasonable.

ANSWERS CRITICISMS
FOUND IN LETTER BOX

LOS ANGELES, May, 24,-[Editor
Herald; The criticisms of Marion
Martin in regard to the journey of the
former president to Africa for the pur-
pose of Staying animals is timely. he
is a churchgoer if not Christian,
still he sheds blood for sport. If ne mas
read he has surely forgotten thaC
Isaiah says: HE that killeth an OK is
as if he slew a man." The human race
does not realize the wrong 1t does itself
in breaking the law. "Thou shalt not
kill" The Seventh Day Adventists are
setting a good example in that respect.
Englishman, who was so shocked
at seeing a girl in a bathing suit that
he fled, remained long enough to as
certain that the suit was satin ana
salmon colored. He and Puritan should
move to the desert far from beaches
and bath tubs, where they would be in
no danger of having their delicate sem
sibilities shocked by anything so de-
lightful, sensible and hygienic as surf
bathing, or they might ask seaport
cities to pass an ordinance in addition
to the one suggested that men go in
bathing In natty business suits, with
cuffs on the bottom of their trousers
and women in tailor-made street suits
and oxfords with French heels. Even
the woman lawyer who wishes the win
dows of barber shops curtained while
men get shaved should have knowledge
enough to know that publicity means
purity. Screen the windows and the
next thing will be game of cards and
a few drinks while the men wait. Shc
is surely a sensitive maid who was
never the happy possessor of father,
brother, husband or sons.

GREATER LOS ANGELES


N REATER Los Angeles. with its sea-
tT port san Pedro, will increase the
" business prosperity of all Of
Southern California. Consolidation as
a business proposition" should be ac-
ceptable to every one who has the best
interests of Los Angeles and Southern
California at heart, and has them at
heart UNDERSTANDABLE. No man
who can read aught of the future
from the record of the past will hest
tate over the consolidation question.
Greater Los Angeles" will increase
the business prestige and the prosper
ity of all of this section and of the
entire state. Greater Los Angeles will
be one of the principal maritime cities
of North America. With the industrial
and manufacturing growth of this city
and section goods made in California
and made in Los Angeles" will seek
an outlet to many markets.
1t is highly important that manu-
facturers should get square deal in
the matter Of rates, and there is much
more probability of railroad fair play
when the harbor receives the shipping
of the world, and the completion of the
Panama canal provides an all-water
route for the transportation of freight.
Good roads" will also help Greater
Los Angeles to reach and maintain a
commanding position in the manufac-
turing and business world, because
auto vehicles will provide a most inn
portant means of transporting goods
by land and will render Los Angeles
and it's tributary territory practically
independent of railroad bossism and
overlordship.

OFFICIALS AND DUTY

n SCAR STRAUS eulogy of former
President Roosevelt will be pleas
~ ing to the admirers of our great
American statesman and mighty hunt
er. because it epitomizes Roosevelt
work and shows exactly why he was
the most popular president Of modern
times and why he had a national and
not a strictly partisan following. Mr..
Straus said no other of our presidents
possessed in equal degree a mind so
enriched with an historians knowledge
of the past combined with a states
mans foresight of the future. His
measures have all been conceived under
the guidance and inspiration Of this
dual equipment of retrospective knowl-
edge of national growth and prospective
insight into national tendencies.
Mr. Straus added: with that great
confidence and deep sympathy with
the plain people of our country, upon
whose judgment and sense of justice
all of our great presidents in times of
transition and stress placed their ulti-
mate reliance, Roosevelt has vitalized
and appealed to the public conscience
of the nation"
Again we have to call attention to
the fact a public official who does his
duty in the United States is singled out
for exceptional eulogy and comment.
1t is a blessing we have public officials
who are willing to do their duty. 1t is
a pity the performance of duty should
be such a conspicuous virtue in mod
ern American public life as to call for
special comment We believe, under
the far-reaching influences of the
Roosevelt administration with it's
motto of DUTY, duty, and nothing but
duty" Americanism has been revival
lied and the nation will continue to
follow policies which indicate that
retrospective knowledge of national
growth without which accurate or eX-
pert craftsmanship is impossible.
Government can be nothing but an
experiment or a tumble unless the Of
ficials Of an administration bear in
mind that similar political and social
causes produce similar effects in all
ages and stages of human history,
subject only to the variation caused by
incidental circumstances or temporary
environment.

and demand that this be "a government
of the people, by the people, for
the people," They will sweep these
present autocratic (mis) representa-
tives out of power and take the reins
in their own hands. If these poor de-
luded money-blind senators and rep
resentatives cannot or will not see the
handwriting on the wall and refuse to
pass tariff bill that will compel the
rich, as, we'll as the poor, to pay their
lust share of the running expenses of
the government-that may be the last
straw-God grant that it may be SO.
