REVOLT AGAINST
PRIVILEGE

TOE FOLK of Missouri says there
is a widespread revolt against the
- Payne-Aldrich law, and the Dem
ocratic party OUGHT TO carry the
next congress. He is quoted as having
said privilege leads to graft and to
a government by the few, or, to use a
somewhat overwrought word, to an
oligarchy. AS Mr.. Folk has pointed
out, privilege is opposed to democracy.
He is quoted further as having said
the most conspicuous species of plivi-
lege is the protective tariff and that
1T is not fair to tax S0,O00Q00 people
in order to make a few men very rich;
it is inequitable to give to a class a
privilege enabling them to prey on the
rest of the people"
Men Of great experience, intelligence
and ability representing a large pro-
portion Of the Republican party have
come out fatty in rebellion against
the protective tariff, so called. Is it
not reasonable to expect these men
will join forces with the friends of
square-deal Americanism everywhere.
and begin a steady, purposeful cam
paign which will END in the dislodge-
ment of privilege from it's entrenched
and bulwarked fortresses and a res
toration of the good old American
doctrine which forbids a human being
to profit by taking undue advantage
Of defenseless nelghbors?

LIKE A HOLDUP

O TATE BOARD OF EQUALIZA-
~ IION again has demonstrated its
peculiar regard for Los Angeles
county by 40 per cent increase in val
uations, and the automobiles in this
county were taxed 10 per cent of their
actual value. Evidently it is vain for
this section to expect a square deal
lrom the board of equalization. Per-
maps the members believe Los Angeles
can pay the price and therefore should
pay. 1t is a policy closely akin to that
celebrated in the well-known verse de-
scribing famous bandit who operated
under the good old rule, the simple
plan, that he should take who has the
power and he should keep who can.
These stiff, discriminative taxations
and high valuations are reminders of
the fact Los Angeles is great, prosper
Gus and rich./ Still, the prosperity of
Los Angeles when it's percentages of
increase and progress are compared
with those of other sections of the
state should not make it fair game for
assessors, otherwise indignant taxpay-
ers may ask some one to define the
difference between a common or vulgar
holdup and high-class assessment and
levy,

rate which makes it impossible to
institute comparisons with any other
city, modern or ancient. There is only
one Los Angeles, and it is the first of
its kind in the history of the world

HE GIVETH HIS BELOVED SLEEP
BY oDELL SHEPARD

nj all the goodly things love
land hope to meet in heaven above
4 Soft April rain and gracious books
VI And windy nights and woman's looks
And that still hour when shadows creep,
There is not anything so dear
In all the land of now and here
AS Gods last gift of sleep.
There is not anything that lies
So softly upon tired eyes,
Or has so soft a word to say
To weary men at shut of day,
Or knows so truly how to keep
World-beaten hearts like folded flowers
In peace for many quiet hours
AS Gods own gentle sleep.
There is a solace in the thought
That out of all my life has brought
Of false and frail and painted lure
There is one boon that shall endure
And with the ages grow more deep,
And when the dusk hour thickens round
With final calm, | shall be found
Full we'll content to sleep.
