GOOD GOVERNMENT

A LTHOUGH the cause Of good gov
Y ernment is winning new adher-
ents every day, this is no time
for a relaxation of vigilance or activ-
ity. From now until election day, not
only at the mass meetings arranged
for, but throughout every avocation
and occupation of the daily life of the
city, enthusiasm for good government
should be encouraged and every man
who has at heart the safety prosperity,
welfare and moral and financial pros
perity of Los Angeles should take act
i've part in the campaign.
Everybody can help, and everybody
should help. Every voter can win a
voter, and there are so many men of
keen intelligence and great experience
enlisted on the side of good govern
ment that a great many of its advo-
Gates should have far more than "one
voter won" to their credit.
Supporters of the Alexander ticket
should announce their intention to
make every good government voter
vote, and should be unremitting in
their efforts to form and keep a reso-
luton to do his duty to the cause he
advocates, and to vote.
Good government candidates are men
we'll worthy of the enthusiastic sup
port of their fellow citizens, and the
program of great and magnificent en-
terprises adopted by Los Angeles de-
mands the selection of public officials
who can be trusted. We need
TRUSTWORTHY officials, men in ev-
cry respect worthy of the trust and
confidence reposed in them by their
fellow citizens.
George Alexander is a man of this
type. He is the very embodiment Of
honesty and good citizenship.
AS long as he is on guard the
Owens river project is safe, and the
entire program of development may
be carried out in it's entirety without
fear or distrust. Another Alexander
administration will mean another ad-
ministratiOn that will inspire Los An
geles with confidence in the present,
.
and courage of our metrop-
oils will add to its financial standing
throughout the country, and make its
excellent credit firmer and surer than
ever.
Business interests and civic pros
perity make the election Of John S.
Myers as city auditor a necessity.
Friends of good government should
support him and work for him and
elect him. His election will help Los
Angeles.
For the sake of the city, for It's
best interests, representative citizens
who are above approach, above fear
above influence or influences" must
be selected for councimen. Citizens
will consult the best interests of Los
Angeles if they will vote for John D.
Works, Martin F. Betkouski, W. j.
Washburn, Robert NJ. Lusk, Josias J.
Andrews, Miles S. Gregory, Z. L.
O'Brien, George Williams and Rich
mond Plant.

AVIATION WEEK

HTE HOPE the support of Aviation

and that the project will have
the solid backing of all the organiza-
tions that have done so much to estab-
lish the reputation Of Los Angeles and
10 give this metropolis a leading place
among the cities of the North Ameri-
can continent.
Every organization that is concerned
with the municipal success Of Los An
geles should also be concerned with
the success Of Aviation week. The en-
terprise is one Of the most important
ever undertaken in this city, to which
it will give a worldwide advertisement
of a most desirable kind. Aviation
week viii spread abroad the fame of the
climate of Los Angeles, which makes
such a gathering possible and success
full here at a time of the year which
in other parts of this country and OF
the world is associated with inclemcncy
and discomfort.
We advocate strenuously substantial
support for the Aviation week plans.
and we hope they win be taken up.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The first
results of the magnetic survey of the
Atlantic ocean now being made by the
Carnegie institute of Washington, on

people Of America they call them "Yan-

FORTUNE COMES
AFTER MANY YEARS
Norton Man Invested in Coal
Lands Many Years Ago-Oth-
Wise County News.

Norton, Va, April S.-Our friend
of many moons, MIR. S. ii. Johns, is
smoking his pipe of peace and pros
perity just now with more than or
dinary satisfaction. He is firm be-
lever that all things come TO those
who wait. Nearly quarter of cen
tury ago Mr.. Johns interested Taze-
well capital in the purchase of about
10, 600 acres of coal and timber lands
up Lewis Creek from Honaker on the
CIinch Valley. Now the new railroad
which is being surveyed into Buch-
anan county from Honaker runs di-
rectly through this property, which is
rich in the very best quality of coal.
Messrs. Us * A. p. Gillespie, Hen
ry &. Stuart and others are interested
in this land with Johns. Another
com forting thought which comes to
this veteran of coal mines is the fact
that he knows good thing in coal
lands when he sees it, and while the
development OF this property has
been slow Mr.. Johns judgment as TO
its value will be fully sustained.
Keep an eye on Honaker There will
be something doing there i'm the near
future.
The "St. Charles,' one OF the best
known hostleries along the Norfolk
X Western, under its new manage
ment is growing i'm popularity every
day: Onr NJ Bow ling, one of the Taze-
well BowlinRs, is one of the "Bilt-
rites" 10 run hotel. He is a fine
landlord-every likes him and he is
desrvedly popular and deserving of
the splendid success of the st.
Charles.
Norton has three commercial print
ing houses--all good ones, but we
still see some mighty pretty printing
come down the Pike from Tazeweli,
bearing the type mark of the Clinch
Valley News.
Rev. Mr.. Lacy, recently called TO
the Presbyterian pastorate at Norton
from Marion, is giving entire satisfac
tion. The Presbyterians have now
perhaps the strongest church in Nor
ton.
The proposed bond issue of $50, 600
for Improvements, is meeting with
considerable opposition. At the mass
meeting last Monday night nothing
definite was reached except a wran-
gle.
Somebody stole march on the
Norton tax payers sure and steadfast.
Norton property can be assessed only
80 cents on the hundred dollars, but
the way the assessors put il TO them
o. valuation was n caution. For ex-
ample, the Arlington Hotel is assessI
edat $40, 600, which means $50 city
tax. Don't need any bond issue al
these rates.
