CONSOLIDATION

r OS ANGELES consolidation bill
was introduced yesterday by SEN
Ia ator Mccartney. 1t was explained
it had been delayed on account of typo
graphical errors.
Leading commercial organizations
of Los Angeles unite in request
ing the legislature to place on the
statute books a law by which two or
more cities of any class may unite I'M
der one government. Consolidation is
thus asked for by the leading citizens
of Los Angeles without dissenting
voice. The law as it now stands I'M
fairly and unjustly discriminates
against cities governed by a free
holders charter in favor of cities or
ganized under the general law.
Public necessity demands that this
discrimination be abolished and the
laws so amended that two or more
cities governed by a freeholders' char
ter may be consolidated with any other
city organized under the general law.
The legislature is requested to re-
move the embargo placed by an I'M
fair and unjust law on the future
growth and progress of cities governed
by a freeholders' charter For the sake
of the most important interests Of Los
Angeles and Southern California, as
well as for the sake of San Pedro, it is
necessary that arrangements should
be made by which Los Angeles should
be consolidated governmentally with its
harbor city.
The joint municipality independent
of corporation interests, will guaran-
tee the future growth and development
of San Pedro along the lines rendered
necessary by the constant growth and
expansion of the commercial and man
ufacturing interests of Los Angeles and
Southern California, to which San Pc
dro harbor will minister.

nY The Herald's revelations Of the
n saccharine circumstances in
which Mayor Harper and fellow
ofnclaIs were involved, it is demon
strated clearly that most of the retail
liquor establishments of Los Angeles
were connected by mutually of bust
ness interest with majority of Mayor
Harper's first police commission and
with Chief of Police Kern.
This disgraceful association clearly
indicates the only possible answer 20
the question which The Herald is ask
ing every day, Is vice protected in
Los Angeles? 1t is evident some city
officials were practically in business
with the liquor interests. Actual CO.
partnership agreements had not been
signed, but the city officials established
a general commercial relationship with
the saloons which to all intents was a
copartnership.
Now, it stands to reason that no city
official Of the ordinary, human type will
Willingly or willingly do aught that
will injure any business or form Of
business in which he has a community
Of interest with the person who actu-
ally conducts said business. When
city officials were interested in business
transactions which involved the sale Of
stock to persons engaged in avocations
closely connected with interests that
certainly cannot be characterized as
ethical or moral in their purposes or
tendencies, are we to believe that no
consideration was implied but not
stated in the business transactions?
And does not supporting and circum-
stantial evidence show what the nature
of this consideration was? At last
there seems to be clew to the mys-
terry Of lax enforcement of laws, OF
of lawbreaking which to private citi-
zens was flagrantly apparent. In all
probability. "at least a quarter Of a
million of dollars of the stock of cor
porations in which the majority of
Mayor Harper's first police commission
and Chief of Police Kern were inter-
ested is held by persons engaged in the
business of selling liquor in the city
Of Los Angeles" Therefore, is it not
fair to assume that at least some per-
sons connected with Mayor Harper's
administration are in pawn to the
liquor interests?
In all official excogitations, the pre-
dominant partner must be considered,
and his familiar name is Booze"
When Satan becomes an angel Of light,
when the liquor traffic becomes an al
truistic form of Christian endeavor,
when evil is good and black is white,
it will be possible truthfully to say
"No" in reply to The Herald's blunt,
tected in Los Angeles?"

Mrs. Dorothy Johns Tells
OF Shameful Jail Conditions

N HAT is terrible arraignment Of

Mrs. Dorothy Johns makes in her
brochure entitled Victims of the Sys-

OF the inmates as to the responsibility
for their incarceration, but for the
frightful condition of the insanitary
city Jail she had the best of evidence
her own eyes. After an experience ex-
tending over many days, passed by
Mrs. Johns and other well-nurtured,

which Offenders against the law are

OF their degrees of crime-the testimony
so gathered may be regarded as
authoritative, and cannot be read by
taxpaylng citizen without a gasp of
horror and a feeling Of shame that SO
monstrouS a state of affairs can be
possible in this enlightened day and
age.
1t will be recalled that the failing of
Mrs Johns and her associates was for
the crime OF free speech. A stupid CITY

CATTLE OWNERS NATURALLY
WILL TAKE CARE OF STOCK

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11.-[Editor
Herald: In the controversy between
Deputy District Attorney F. w. Blair
and N. w. Zimmer superintendent of
the Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Animals, many will notice glad
ly your just discrimination between the
opinions of an impartial public official,
and the manager of a private corpora
ton looking for fines for his treasury.
You say Mr.. Blair reports mot as
many starving cattle as he expected to
see" in Antelope valley. His "expecta-
tion," of course, was based on repre-
sensations Mr.. thinner had made. His
conclusion is based on a due regard for
the promoters of a valuable industry,
as well as for the condition of their
stock.
You add: superintendent thinner,
on the other hand, declared that the
conditions among the cattle are deplor-
able, and that feed must be furnished
at once"
His point of view possibly makes him
a little "color blind" Has he arrested
any of the patrons of the cattle indus
try? And is he using the public press
and jury, if possible? Is it the eye for
fines which produces color? Has he
the same reasonable and just. regard
for the owners Of cattle that Mr.. Blair
has?
Should we not suppose that the own
ers will do the best they can for their
cattle? And are they not entitled to
large sympathy in a hard year? So
believing, I remain.

COL. GRIFFITH MUST NOT
BE LEFT TO FIGHT ALONE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12.-[Editor
Herald: While your correspondents
are busy as bees thrashing out abstruse
metaphysical problems of mind and
matter, not a word is said of the awful
revelations made in that actual page
of life contributed by Colonel Griffith J.
Griffith to last Sundays Herald on the
subject of our jails.
Is it not an extraordinary thing that
men and women, often in their teens
and mostly without any of that arduous
scholastic training necessary for the
consideration of such an abstract
question as mind and matter, will rush
wildly in where the most seasoned
scholars fear to tread? And is it not
still more extraordinary that they will
at the same time neglect entirely the
living, breathing questions that are
right under their noses and smell so
loudly one would think they could not
be ignored?
Here is Colonel Griffith making a
most gallant fight against conditions
that give the straight lie to all our
talk of being civilized people; against
conditions that are dragging every one
of US into the gutter; conditions that
connect themselves directly with the
problem of protected vice; in short, the
abyss of degradation that connects it
self with the administration of the
criminal law.
1t comes directly home to every
father and mother in the land, for
none knows whose child may be the
next victim of horrors fully as bad as
anything told by KEENAN, of the Rus
san jails or the revelations now COM
ing to light as to the regime Of Diaz
in Mexico. And yet apparently not a
ripple in the pool of stagnant Amer
lean thought is raised. The position is,
to me at least, almost incomprehensible.

SOCIALISM AS TAUGHT BY
CHRIST THE ONLY REMEDY

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Jan. 2.-[Ed-
itor Herald: Your correspondents
make many suggestions for the i'm
Pavement Of society, whereas there is
only one remedy for all the ills that
infest the body politics, and that is the
remedy that the Lord gave, viz:
Peace on earth. good will to men,"
''love your neighbor as yourself" Erad-
icate ''the root of all evil" money;
make the nations of this earth become
the nations Of our Lord, Christ, by
putting them on the same basis he
built his church upon when they had
all things common and no one suffered
want. This is Socialism, whose ethics
are identical with the ethics of Chris
tianity, lee, justice and righteous
ness.
Until the world abolishes capitalism,
with its panics, poverty, prostitution,

augurates Socialism, with it's peace,
plenty, prosperity and happiness, there
will be no improvement.
