CONSOLIDATION

HREATER LOS ANGELES will pro-
NT duce conditions of such remark
N able benefit to all citizens who are
fortunate enough to have interests in
any portion of the area that will be
included in the metropolitan city that
even the most selfish considerations
should make the victory for CONSOLE
dalton overwhelming. In spite of this
corporation agents and other reaction
aries are reported to be busi1y engaged
both at Wilmington and San Pedro in
the effort to persuade voters CONSOLE
dalton means nothing but mastery
attempt on the part of Los Angeles to
use the smaller cities for its own pur-
poses No one will dispute the asser-
ton Los Angeles will be benefited by
the extension of metropolitan boundary
lines to include an area which will give
room for the growth and expansion of
the greatest maritime city of the west.
But Wilmington and San Pedro will
proportionately be benefited even more
than Los Angeles.
If we are to look at the matter merely
from the who wins?" point of view,
then San Pedro and Wilmington in the
immediate future will be bigger winners
than Los Angeles. But The Herald
urges. and from the first has urged,
ell citizens to take a broad. compre-
hensive, metropolitan view of the
Greater Los Angeles question. Ward
politics, railway politics, selfish inter-
ests, must not be allowed to interfere
with the greatest good of the greatest
number of residents of the Greater Los
Angeles area.
The construction Of Greater Los An
geles is not a matter of the profit and
loss of tomorrow, it is not matter of
real estate dickers or booms (although
we believe the prospect Of consolida-
ton is having a tonic effect on seaport
city values); 1t is a matter of civic
magnitude with a wide horizon. Greater
Los Angeles, with its docks, wharves,
warehouses, harbor improvements, and
GOOD government, must be ready for the
huge increase in the trade and COM
merce of the southern Pacific country
which will come even before the open
ing of the Panama canal, and which,
after the completion of the canal, Will
make Greater Los Angeles the most I'M
portant shipping center as well as the
most important industrial, manufactur-
ing center on the west coast Of North
or South America.

WHAT'S THE usE7

Twenty to one" the tout spake low,
"Twenty to one, and play 1t over,
The favorite nags an ice wagon--Slowl
She'll lose her feet in the distant clover"
A little clerk in a loud pink shirt,
Beads of sweat on his sckly brow,
He plays-with a prayer that he'll strike
pay dirt
And he and his money are strangers now.
Twenty to one." said the Wall street shark
Twenty to one, and cinch, old fellow.
You'll soon be afraid to go home In the dark
You'll be stocked with the green and
yellow"
The same little clerk with the shirt of pink
A doubtful scowl on his sickly brow.
He blew his dough-and what do you
Think
He ard his money are strangers now.
Never again." said the poor little clerk.
''Never again where the chance Is twenty.
Into a bank go the fruits Of my work
Three and a half per cent is plenty;
I'm going to keep what I've got. am l.
IT'S never again for the cinch, VOW
The bank failed up from cloudless sky
He and his money are strangers now.
MORAL
Here is the moral of this sobby tune,
The sensible point OF these verses droolish--
The fool and his money are parted soon,
And no matter what he does. he's foolish.

SQUARE DEALER

FORTUNATELY for Los Angeles, II
has a mayor who makes sure he
4 Is right-then goes ahead. The
mayor in his message said he believed
in team work at have tried to bring
the various departments closer togeth-
err that all might work in harmony"
he said. II have endeavored to i'm
press on every city employee whether
the head of department or a day la
borer, that the city is entitled to a
square deal and to a dollars worth for
every dollar expended"
In his relations with the council
Mayor Alexander has sought to illus
trate his intention of pursuing square
deal policy in spite OF opposition, and
the people of Los Angeles are disap-
pointed and mortified to find certain
members of the council have refused to
carry out the policy of team work. II
every branch Of the city government Is
not in thorough harmony 1t is not the
fault of Mayor Alexander, and we can
assure the winners who accuse him of
knocking the council" that the pub
lie is in harmony with the mayor.
We believe the people of Los Angeles
recognize and appreciate in all the
mayors actions and in all his words
devotion to duty, to the public inter-
est, to the common welfare, to square
dealing. Mayor Alexander in his mes
sage, in his action with regard to tax
collection reform and in every word
and every action, is showing his deter
mination to give the city of Los An
geles a square deal, and the lamenta-
lions Of those who are wailing he IL
knocking the council will not swerve
| him from his manly and American
| public policy.

AIR POWER

DRITAIN'S new program-the sequel
n of the Bleriot fight scross the
channel-has been announced. Los
Angeles Herald does not claim the gift
of second sight, yet it was the only
American newspaper to forecast sue
cessfully the British policy. AS we
pointed out, it was absurd to expect
the United Kingdom would bring its
sea-power to naught by surrendering to
the continent supremacy in air power.
What the British newspapers have al
ready said is this:
1--WE have mastered the sea at an in
calculable cost, and at whatever outlay
of money or whatever sacrifice, we
must own an invincible navy in
the air."
The shrieks of the continental press
over the ease with which Great Brit
ain and Ireland could now be invaded
were i'll advised.
This is the beginning of the inva-
sion of England" said M. Bleriots
friend, M. Leblanc, as he watched the
aviators preparations to rise in the air
at Calais!
What the European nations hope to
gain by the invasion of England or OF
any part of the United Kingdom is a
deep and dark mystery. Probably the
sack of London would yield some loot
to the plunderers. But is this the age
of loot? And as The Herald pointed
out, what could the continental nations
hope to achieve by announcing in ad-
vance the invasion of the United King
dom? That the immediate result OF
this fool-talk should have been the
prostitution of air navigation to en-
tirely military purposes is deplorable'
And that the United Kingdom should
announce its intention to have the
most formidable air navy in Europe
augurs i'll for the peace Of the world
yet is only what might be expected as
the result of all the silly stupid in
vasion- gable with which continental
newspaper editors for a week have
been regaling their readers.

NICE PEOPLE ONLY SHOULD

LOS ANGELES. July 26,-[Editor

But there are strange golngs on IN the

president in, and such thing as a mis-

PUBLIC SAFETY

~ ONE good may result from the
councils appointment of COM
~ mittee to confer with railway COM
panies regarding possible methods of
decreasing danger of accident. There
are many obvious methods, for In
stance, block signals and Coston lights.
The main difficulty is to get corpora
ton to spend the money necessary for
the latest devices for protecting the
public 1t serves. One OF the strongest
arguments In favor of municipal owner
ship of public utilities is the fact that,
private profit being eliminated, earn
ings can be used entirely for salaries
and improvements. With municipal
ownership, the council, instead of con-
ferring with the private owners OF pub
lie utilities, would be engaged in re-
spending to the popular demand for
safety appliances and would lie making
plans for a complete block signal sys-
tenn and ordering Coston lights.

your stand taken in an editorial of this
