A PLAN to perpetuate the Los An
geles consolidation committee, not
"A only as an advisory body on har-
bor progress, but in a much larger
sense as a body for advisory work Oh
all the big things likely to confront Los
Angeles in the future, and from that to
make its membership an honor rolf
of the city of Los Angeles, will be pre-
sented to the chamber of commerce III
the near future.
The ultimate plan is to make mem
bership on this committee a distinctive
badge of honor as being, in a sense, the
city's selection of her most represent
ative citizens to consider and report
the most feasible plans for municipal
development and to guard against
wrong steps or mishandling in working
out the large problems which will con-
front the city.
1t will be proposed to the chamber OF
commerce, and through that organiza'
ton to the other civic bodies, to make
the committee of fifteen a perpetual
body of the most representative citi-
zens of Los Angeles, serving without
other remuneration than the honor at
taching to service for the interest OF
the city, and to whom are to be re-
ferred for drafting plans of action,
matters of policy on city affairs, plans

large lines as have been involved in
the consolidation work, and questions
comprehending the financial credit of
the city and its ability to take on more
big deals like the aqueduct and the
harbor.
In brief, the plan is to continue the
cilors, with vacancies filled in the
present committee as a board of coun-
manner in which the committee was
established, but to enlarge its powers
to take in all the activities advisable
for Los Angeles in addition to the har-
bor development. This, it will be pro-
posed, is to be done officially and event
ually to be incorporated in the charter
Patriotism Has incentive
By accepting the honor member Of
the committee will take a commanding
position in civic matters, shouldering
exacting and long drawn out duties at

making history for Los Angeles. 1t is
figured that will be recompense sutti-
cient to cause the best men in the city

CONSOLIDATION COMMITTEE MAY

| as the present consolidation committee
is made up-to realize that in handling
! big plans for municipal betterment al
undoubted sacrifice to their individual
| businesses they are leaving a greater
! impress on city history than in piling
up fortunes,
At present as in most municipalities,
the city council officials and commits
| sions are so tied down with incessant
detail that they cannot undertake the
| further duty of hammering out the
plans of action. especially at present
salaries, and they would doubtless be
glad to have men in whom the entire
city has utmost confidence wrestle
with the general schemes. To have
such a body would stimulate and CEN
tralize the spirit for which Los Angeles
has achieved a considerable reputa-
tion.
Need for Big Plan
To instance the need for permanent
establishment of a committee that may
make good on larger things on the
plane of the consolidation committees
work for the harbor. there is the pos
sibility of a consolidation of city and
county governments. 1t is admittedly
not feasible to accomplish this without
a plan likewise acceptable to number
of municipalities, however much they
may center business interests into Los
Angeles, unless it is as audaciously
thorough and incontestable as the con-
solidation platform. But if this can be
made acceptable and adopted because
il is backed by the judgment of fifteen
of the biggest men whose interests are
involved and by representative sub
committees there can be no resisting
it. and minor matters such as a city
hall site, will be settled automatically.
The suggestion that the consolidation
committees work be recognized by
asking it to assume a bigger job will
come to the civic bodies directly re-
sponsible through the Gamut club as
an organization which has already
urged the putting in better order of
the big tasks before Los Angeles. The
president of the Gamut club, Charles
Farwell Edison, will put the matter to
the club at its next meeting, with the
recommendation that the chamber of
commerce be asked to initiate the es-
tablishment of the permanent board of
councillors working for the city's good
with the utilization of the consolida-
ton committee as most acceptable tim
ber already proved and at hand.

WILL FIGHT FOR
EQUITABLE RATES
TRANSMISSISSIPPI CONNER
CIAL CONGRESS IN SESSION
BETTER TRANSPORTATION FARE
SURE TO BE DEMANDED
Protest Against Present Railroad
Tariff Will Be One of Principal
Contests in Deliberations
of Organization
[By Associated Press. !

DENVER, Aug. 17.-Coupled with the
possibility of renewed hostilities be-
tween the Pinchot and Ballinger forces,
the Transmississippi Commercial con-
gress promises to become the battle
field of a fight for better rate regula-
tion of the west.
The statement the war on railroad
rates may break at any time and be-
come the predominant factor in the
deliberations of the congress was made
today by Col. Ike Pryor of San An
tonic, Tex, chairman of the executive
committee. He declared that Calves
ton and Denver business men will open
the fight with a resolution demanding
an equitable revision of rail and ocean
rates between New York and Denver be
made.
According to Col. Pryor's statement
the ocean rate between New York and
Galveston has been low enough to pro-
vide Denver shippers an incentive to
bring their goods to the Texas port for
shipment over local lines to Denver,
thus obtaining a reduced rate.
1t is now charged that the railroads
have increased the local rate between
Galveston and Denver to a point where
it is a matter of choice whether goods
are brought via ocean or entirely by
rail.
Col. Pryor also was authority for the
statement that the Pnchot-Balling
controversy will find no place in the
deliberations OF the congress unless
some hot-headed delegate springs a
resolution on the floor which will pre-
cipitate a verbal battle.
Millionaire Makes Address
Thomas f Walsh, millionaire mine
owner of Colorado, and John Barrett,
director of the Bureau Of American Re-
publics were the principal speakers of
the afternoon. Mr.. Walsh uttered
plea for the opening of vast tracts of
western land to the eastern farmer and
the city-bred man. He said he believed
that the answer to crowded tenements
and city ghettos lay in the irrigation
of the arid west
Mr.. Barrett spoke of Improvements in
reclamation among the Latin-Amercan
countries. His address was in part as
