GREAT PROSPERITY

II ANK clearings for a week exhibit
X Los Angeles to great advantage.
- There is general prosperity In
California and the elearings all show
of gain. But San Fran
cisco's rate Of gain is 2 per cent, while
that of Los Angeles is SO.
Business activity in Greater Los An
geles is constantly being increased.
There is not a stagnant corner in any
department of the life of our healthily
active metropolis. one triumph Heads
to another, and progress means more
progress. That's the Los Angeles
way.
Undoubtedly the magnificent pros
perity of Los Angeles is attributable at
least In part to good government.
When the commercial. financial, In
vesting world realizes the government
of a city. IS Efficient businesslike and
conservatively progressive, confidence
in that city is increased.
Los Angeles owes It to itself to con-

huences which have been helpful to
prosperity, have enhanced the reputa-
ton of our city and helped its credit.
Our maritime city. Greater Los An

the constant exercise of the vigilance
which is the price of liberty, will con-

DOG IN MANGER

ID ITTER hostility has characterized
n the Southern Pacifc's attitude
toward Greater Los Angeles and
San Pedro harbor from the beginning,
and bitter hostility to this city and its
maritime section still animates the cor
poration. This has been brought vividly
to the attention of the public by the
savage opposition of the railroad to
terminal rates for the harbor of
Greater Los Angeles.
At the hearing before the interstate
commerce commission many facts
illustrating the habitual attitude Of
the S. p toward Los Angeles were
brought out. That attitude is one of
chronic predatory jealousy. When the
corporation is prevented from grabbing
all the benefit of the development of
the city, it tries to embarrass all other
possible participants in the benefit
of Los Angeles development and ex-
pansion.
This mental and moral attitude Of
malignant and unreasonable envy and
greed is a wen known trait of the
worst kind of animal nature, and long
ago was held up to the detestation of
mankind in Aesop's famous fable, the
dog in the manger.
The best interests Of Los Angeles
would be made victim of a dog in the
manger trick if the corporation cur
were allowed to get into the manger
and retain possession. without dispute.
But, adopting the immortal advice
of former President Roosevelt, the
people of Los Angeles won't allow the
snarling cur to remain in the manger.
They will take a big stick to him."
and the rights and necessities Of COM
merce, industry and thrift in Greater
Los Angeles will be enforced.
Secretary Fleming of the Los Angeles
harbor commission makes the state
ment that Oakland has $50 feet of
wharfage and did a business last year
of 1000 tons, YET IT HAS TERMI-
NAL RATES WHICH ARE DENIED
TO SAN PEDRO with its more than
1900 feet of wharfage and its business
of more than a million tons a year.

LAZINESS

TOHN D. ROCKEFELLER'S gift or
$1,0OO,000 to fight the hook worm
- will have the effect of increasing
the general efficiency of the American
nation. When scientists first began to
talk of the "lazy bug" there was
disposition to regard the creature as
fake, the invention of facetious
critic of human nature. But to the
surprise of many professional humor-
lists who had put the "lazy bug on
their regular list Of recurrent jokes
educators and scientists pronounced the
critter to be a genuine parasitical by
product of nature, and, what is more,
they blamed it for the lassitude and
do-lessness which characterize some
individuals and some communities.
Now the Standard Oil magnate has
decreed the hook worm must go. John
D. thinks laziness should be. unknown
in the United States, Like old age,
drunkenness, theft, mendacity and
nearly everything else which swerves
humankind from the normal poise, it
is a disease, durable and preventable.
