INCREASED VALUE OF LAND
SHOULD PAY FOR AoUEDUcT

WILMINGTON, Cal, May 4.-[Editor
Herald. The injustice involved in
tariff duties, by which the consuming
public is robbed for the benefit Of
small class or single individual, has
its full counterpart in our state ana
local taxation systems. "Robber
tariff" is a title that this national
policy fully merits. but in it's worst
phase is hardly as great ean injustice
as is our local system of state and
county taxation.
AS an instance of this W. might mem
ton the Owens river aqueduct. Here
is a great public Improvement that
is to be paid for by general taxation.
It may be said that 1t is expected II
will pay for itself, but public improves
ments do not pay for themselves, and
the system of charging it up In the
rates" is nothing more or less than
general taxation. We are all wise TO
the fact that land values are to be
affected by this improvement. Some
very suspicious land deals have been
engineered in anticipation of an in
crease in value because of the building
of the aqueduct. A little inquiry would
demonstrate that for every dollar ex-
dollar added to the value of land
adjacent to it. 1t is. the case with
every public Improvement. 1t is also
true that not another item now sub
ject to taxation will be increased one
cent in value because of it, and yet
we propose to "tax everything in sight
to pay the bill. If we pay it out of
water rates, water users will be paying
double tax. House rents win increase
because site values have increased.
and the man who owns the land will
reap where the people as a whole have
sown.
Common sense justice would dictate
that we take this value which this inn
proyement creates and pay for the inn
provement with it. But we won't o
dear no; the people still prefer to play
the animal with long ears, bearing the
great top-heavy burden of special priv
ilege, g. o. BAILEY.

ARRANT NONSENSE

TN VIEW of the fact the admins
tration of Mayor Alexander is CIV
H. ing great and general satisfaction,
the suggestion in the morning Repub-
Iican paper he might possibly be recalled
is preposterous. No one ever mentioned
the word in connection with the name
OF Mayor Alexander, and apparently
the Republican morning paper is using
it merely for the purpose of using it,;
printing it merely in order it may
appear in print beside the name Of
Mayor Alexander. Says our quaint
neighbor Pecksniff: "As far as the
recall of the present mayor is con-
cerned it would be arrant nonsense to
resort to It. The city cannot suffer
very much by waiting TIL November.
We can all stand the rule of Alexander
and Our Set for a few months"
A stranger reading poppycock like
this would naturally think the mayor
by the votes of an overwhelming ma
Jority of the people, but by the dictum
of a political oligarchy. Mayor Alex
ander is the peoples mayor, and pop
Elar mayor. He is doing his duty
without favor and without fear, and
no nonsense" has ever been printed
that is more "arrant" than the sug-
gestion the people are only tolerating
him and "can stand" his rule for some
months.
1t is noteworthy, as an instance Of
the restlessness of the powers and infiu-
ences whipped at the recall election,
that already they are trying to devise
ways and means of thwarting the spirit,
intent and purpose of direct nominal
tons. With considerable ingenuity, the
suggestion is made that advisory con-
ventions should be held, In order that
the poor, bewildered voter may be in
structed as to the candidate for whom
he must vote at the primaries.
What poppycock!

TURKEY

w HY is Turkey tolerated by the
w European powers? is a question
on every tongue. Another that
is being asked is, Why do not the COM
bined Christian nations intervene to
prevent further trouble? Why do NOT
the powers establish a Joint protec-
torate over Turkey? MosIem fanati-
cism can be kept in a state of innocu-
Gus subsection. The British in Egypt
have demonstrated this. Not for years
has there been holy war or a mas
sacre in Egypt or the Soudan. but
there are as many Moslems as ever in
the Nile provinces. To the shame and
disgrace of Christian Europe be it
said, it is international Christian ieal-
ousy that is responsible for the nm
speakable Turk and all his revolving
atrocities.
The Russians would have accepted
joyfully the responsibility of admins
tering Turkish affairs, but the British
would not let them. The British long
ago were willing to annex Turkey. but
SAAD +eaooANthS WOQAA AlOi ltTIHll them.
In more recent times the potent voice
of the German is heard in international
affairs, and the German demands Pal
estine, which is now ruled by Turkey,
but the Christian nations will not al
low Kaiser wilhelm to wrest Calvary
and Bethlehem from the unspeakable
Turk. Not one whit less disgraceful
to Christian nations-among them the
United States-than the Armenian
chaos is the perpetual Turkish occu-
patton Of Syria and the Holy Land.
Think of Christian nations that profess
the religion of the Prince of Peace,
being unwilling to purge Christendom
of it's disgrace for fear some member
Of the family Of Christian nations will
obtain an undue" advantage over an
otherl The hypocrites!
Diabolical and deserving Of punish-
ment though the Turk be, candor COM
pels us to say Christendom is respon-
sible for the present hellish conditions
in the Turk-ruled Christian provinces.

AUToMoBILING

A HIGHLY successful years BUSH
u ness by the Automobile Dealers
association has been brought to a
close. The program for this fiscal year
will be the most important in the his
tory of the association. On July 10
there will be big road race; and that
will be followed by an auto fest. The
popularity of the auto vehicle is being
Increased. The automobile is no longer
a luxury. 1t is a necessity, and during
the next few years it will bring about
many great changes in the economies
of civilization.
Good roads will not beScompleted any
too soon for the greatly increased auto
mobile traffic which will seek the high
ways of California This automobile
traffic will by no means be restricted
to touring cars filled with parties OF
pleasure seekers. The auto vehicle Is
now being compelled to justify its
invention and its existence by taking
part in the worlds work Transporta-
ton and freight problems will be solved
by its aid. A railroad tyranny which
for years has dominated and some
times has restricted and regulated
American productive industries will be
broken, and the railroad will take its
place in the competitive system, and
will be a public servant rather than a
millionaire-maker. Good roads and
automobiles will work a marvellous
change in the industrial and marketing
methods of the United States, and it
will be a change for the better, one
that will bring about the greatest good
for the greatest number, and tend to
benefit, improve and elevate the mass
of the American people in the rural
districts as we'll as in the cities

HELP WANTED

MID many complaints that profess
~ sions are overcrowded and trades
- oversupplied with workmen, it is
refreshing to learn that there are edu-
cational branches badly undermanned-
or underwomaned. When the new era
in education was begun, with a recog-
nation Of the Importance Of the gym
nasium, the playground and the foot
ball field in the education of a com
plete American" the demand for medi-
cal inspectors and examiners, school
nurses, supervisors and directors Of
physical education, supervisors of in
struction for playground work and
for instructors in athletics was in
creased steadily until now it far ex-
ceeds the supply.
Moreover, competent professional
coaches for football, baseball, track,
etc, are scarce. Positions pay all the
way from $500 to $4,000 year. and will
continue to be well paid until the COM
petition among experts becomes much
greater than it is. Able-bodied young
men Of high Intelligence who complain
they cannot get along should make a
speciality of some form of athletic in
struction, and they would soon find
they could "get along" In fact, they
would experience the charming and
novel sensation of being in demand,
and of being able to sell their services
to the highest bidder, instead Of having
to accept the lowest salary offered by
some salary CRATER, or starves

GREATER LOS ANGELES

N RBATER LOS ANGELES, with its
T seaport, San Pedro, will be of the
~ greatest Importance and benefit
to Southern California industries. All
industries which have ambitions to
transact business in a wider circle than
that bounded by the horizon of their
immediate neighborhood are confronted
by the problem of transportation It
is a vital problem, one from which
there is no escape Many great rail-
roads in the United States have be-
come wealthy and powerful by prac-
tice they called fostering industries"
Until the modern spirit of inquiry and
skepticism began to work havoc with
traditions, their claims to paternalism
passed unchallenged.
But it is now a we'll established fact
that IL they ever, fostered industries 1t
was with the same benevolent Interior
purpose with which farmer fosters
geese. Modern railroad combinations
have brought home to the people the
truth that industrialism has paid a
huge tribute to the railroads, and that
in many cases and in many localities
railroad tariffs have been the price of
the very life of industrial activity.
AS if to emphasize this, from time
to time there would be an instance of
railroad tyranny. Taking umbrage at
some industrial center or locality, the
railroad magnates would proceed with
cool elaboration to kill it. Having
control of the traffic situation and be-
ing the freight BOSSES" they could
readily encompass the ruin of any in
dustry or any industrial center that
displeased them or refused to obey
them.
In Southern California the fight
against railroad domination has been
perpetual and strenuous. and that 1t
has been successful is due to the fact
that a tremendous amount of effort
and Of brain power has been expended
in fighting, which under different cir
cumstances might have been applied to
development or Industrial progress.
From any further danger of this kind Of
waste of energy the industrial activi-
ties of California will be protected by
San Pedro harbor and the Panama
canal. And in order that the great in
dustrial interests that are centered in
Los Angeles may be properly repre-
sented in the management of the har-
Dor, it is imperatively necessary there
should be consolidation of Los Angeles
and it's seaport city. Greater Los An
geles soon viii be on the map.

DUTY WELL DONE

T OS ANGELES is to be congratu-
lated on the zeal in the public
"a service displayed by Chief Dish
man, who by raiding notorious resorts
last night showed his deed is as good
expedition gives earnest of what may
be expected. Undoubtedly he will do
everything in his power to make Los
Angeles a law abiding city Law break
ers and law breaking will not be toler-
ated by him. The chief has shown his
devotion to his duty and to the best
interests of Los Angeles, which, as The
Herald has said repeatedly demand
obedience to law and the suppression
of all law defying or lawless resorts.
After all the ''blind pigs have been
pulled and the fake restaurants Wis
tied officially, the next step will be to
revoke the licenses of all the notorious
dens. Liquor selling, fake restaurants
like those exposed and described in The
Herald are deadfalls for young girls,
traps for the unwary, menaces to So
ciety and should be banished from the
city The big cleanup will not stop
short of a revocation of licenses of all
places which, in the disguise of restau-
rants. harbor and foster immortality
and serve immoral interests and i'm
moral purposes.
Chief Dishman deserves credit for the
pluck and energy with which he is
taekling the problem OF Better Los An
geles, which is not less important than
Greater Los Angeles. The self-respect-
ing, decent people who form the over
whelming majority of the citizens of
Los Angeles are delighted to think they
have a chief Of, police who will do his
duty. Enterprise, energy and courage
characterize Chief Dishman's opening
of the campaign for a clean city.

DEMAND THE DEPOT

" HEN a railroad corporation that
w is under heavy obligation to the
people repudiates its debts of
honor and meets with shoulder shrugs
suggestions it should redeem solemn
promises it is time for the people to
adopt more strenuous methods of inn
pressing on that corporation a sense of
its duty.
For three weary years the building of
new Fifth street depot has been
promised by railroad magnate. On
the pretense that a fine. commodious
structure was not only contemplated
but planned; on the pretense that the
structure assuredly would be built
without delay, the railroad corporation
induced the city to vacate most valu-
able property. and then settled down
to a protracted policy Of dilly daily
shilly shally and procrastination.
Unless the mayor and city council
act speedily, the railroad corporation
will think it is at liberty to keep up
this policy. It is time for action. The
city has waited long enough for Mr.
Hartman and his advisers to make
good. They have not done so, and any
immediate intention upon their part Of
keeping the promise under which the
property was vacated and of building
a depot suitable to Los Angeles is not
discernible.
Los Angeles must have the promised
depot or it must have the street va
Gated to the corporation. 1t is all very
well to be patient and long suffering,
but after a certain lapse of time, after
it becomes certain that promise makers
and verbal contractors do not intend to
do the right thing, it is the duty of
sufferers to refuse to settle down to be
easy marks or dupes. OF course most
unfortunately we all know from bitter
experience that some promises made in
California are constructed of moonshine
rather than sunshine, but good citizen
ship demands that grievances resulting
from lack of good faith should be
remedled.
Let the mayor and the council take up
this matter in workmanliSe manner
and see to it that the railroad redeems|
its promises. If the promises made are
not to be kept the people will wish to
know the reason why. Los. Angeles be-
longs to its citizens, not to corpora
lions, and no corporation can be allowed
to play fast and loose with it's solemn
duty and binding obligation toward the
public.

PROTESTS AGAINST CRUEL
DOCTRINE AS PROMULGATED

POMONA, May 4-IEditor HERALD:
When | see such cruel doctrine pro-
mulgated as the one &C. F." repeats in
today's Letter Box, | feel | must say
something against it. 1t says: MAN
was not to take on himself the pre-
rogative as to what is good and evil"
Why should man entertain such a low
ideal but for the purpose of giving some
tyrant power? 1t forbids man to do
his own thinking. His brain is to be
the tool of some authority; and this
authority, be he good or bad, must be
obeyed. Authority is always supposed
to be from divine source. This suppo-
sition gives the tyrant power, and
makes the greatest of evildoers divine.
We have a sect of Christian (Christa-
delphians) which expects the coming
of the Lord right away (Which l hope
he Wild. These believe that Jesus (who
is love itself shah come and crush the
nations with an iron rod; and that
they (the Christadelphians) shall sit
on twelve thrones and rule the nations
with an iron rod. That is to say, they
are to become perpetual slave drivers.
What a beautiful IDEAL
/ hope the good people will begin to
read better books than the Bible. There
are some passages in the Bible which
are real good If we disconnect them
from their real foundation; viz, the
idea of revenge. The sweet idea of I'M
doing our enemies, instead Of undoing
that which causes us to become enc
mics. The word divine" should be
eliminated from our language. It is
unfeeling, without pity and as cold and
unmoying as an iceberg. In it's stead
let us have the human, the good, noble
human We are humans, and therefore
naturally good, and long for human
love. Divine love gives us nothing but
fear and foundation for tyrants.

JUSTICE

n NE of the most remarkable fea-
lures of modern civilization is the
" almost impossibility of escaping
the consequences Of a criminal act
OF course it is much more remarkable
that in the very teeth of the biggest
and best police army and the best gem
eral crime-detecting system in the
world, crime should continue to abound
and criminals to tempt fate and keep
the gallows and the cell plentifully and
constantly supplied.
No man who commits a criminal act
is ever thereafter safe in the United
States, or, for that matter, in any part
Of the civilized world. The case of
Sheeny Benny is noteworthy instance
in point.
For several years this man, fugi-
tive from New York, had lived in vari-
Gus states. At last he came to Cali
fornia. When he found himself far
thest west" he became bold. In Pasa-
dena he was arrested while trying to
snatch a diamond, and soon was iden-
titled as man wanted in New York
on the charge of murder. How any
professional criminal with charge of
murder hanging over him can commit
any minor crime that will bring him
within range of the identification bu-
reau cannot be guessed. II Sheeny
Benny thought justice ever sleeps he
was much mistaken, as he now knows
TO his cost.
