THE VOTE FOR THE CAPITOL.

There is a strange lcthargy prevail
ing in regard 10 a most vital and
urgent interest We refer to the vote
in the election 10 be held month
hence on the question Of authorizing an
increase of n mill in the State tax for
fifteen years, for the purpose Of build
ing q State capitol SO far as we
have noticed this paper is the only
one which has expressed itself either
for or against this proposition. Our
voice has been for this tax as pro-
posed, and we trust that it Will be
agreed 10. If the lcthapgy or apparent
Indifference means that everybody is
in favor of this tax. then all anxiety
is needless, and all argument vain.
But this is too much TO hope. And so
we urge the friends of the proposal 10
build a suitable capitol, to be up and
doing; to make an earnest and vic
torlous campaign for the projected and
needed capitol.
Allowing that the assessed valuation
of the State, upon which this Que
mill tax would be levied, will average
Sl75,000, 900 for the fifteen years. the
tax would yield $l75,000 year In the
fifteen years that this special levy
would be made, the gross yield would
be somewhat in excess of 80 500, 900.
But that would not be too much; it
would be too little, If anything If the
assessed valuation should rise above
$175 100000. rs il is reasonable to ex-
pect that it will do in the fifteen
years, then every increase would add
just in the ratio of that increase to
the money result for capitol building
purposes. An average assessed valua-
tion of SlS0,000,0o0 would yield $780,
600 year, or S2.700,000 in the ag
gregate, And so on in the proportion
of the increase,

city allowing any control w any ap-

But II is not only in its attitude

OF the White House, socially and in it's

OF this agreeable change is thus res

an old Washington correspondent and

from the changes made. And he re.
ports and comments as follows:

OBEY THE POLICE

NJ OF only orderiness, but PUBLIC
y SAFETY will be assured if the
~ people of Los Angeles and their
guests will resolve to yield instant and
accomplishing obedience to policemen
on duty during Elks' week. OF course
we take it for granted our estimable
chief will let it be understood thor
oughly that offensive bossism on the
part of officers on duty will not be
tolerated, and will make civility q
standing order of the day." Assum-
ing, then, that the men of our excellent
police force will face their trying task
with cheerfulness, patience, longsuffer-
ing. sympathy and gentlemanliness, we
hope all citizens will see 1t is to the ad-
vantage of Los Angeles that the cour-
tesy of officers should be rewarded by
the courtesy of the crowd.
Friends, let us lay aside our sense
of Importance and sacrifice to the pub
lie good our little private vanities and
loneliness.
When a policeman says, stand aside
please let us stand aside. When a
policeman says, Fall back" let us
fall back When a policeman says,
Stand perfectly still and stop elbow
ing and showing" let us stand perfect
ly still 1t is not smart" to give i'm
pudence to an officer engaged in the
conscientious discharge of his duty
on a day which, at the best, is for him
day of strain trial and hard work
We believe the police on duty during
Elks' week will keep order good humor-'
edly. But we also believe they will
keep order. That Is what they are
here for. That is why they wear uni
forms. That is why they themselves
must yield constant and strict obedi-
ence to authoritative commands. They
represent the good order without which
a celebration attended by vast crowds
must become chaotic and end in pos
sible disaster and loss of life. For
the protection of the public, let the
public obey the police on duty during
Elks week.
