Presumably at the suggestion of Ger many, Austria may order the construc- tion of three or more Dreadnaughts. This will reawaken the British appre- hension of a loss of the much-boa asted +'two-nation naval power" for Austria and Germany are now, for internation- al purposes, one nation. Another Brit ish apprehension grows out of the Ger man progress in aerial navigation No other power has given this possible warlike agency so much attention or made so much progress. Nor has any other nation made such progress in the construction of guns for use against airships. There are now, it is said, Krupp guns which can destroy air ships at a height of 5000 feet, and it is a practical certainty that airships can not use bombs with sufficient precision at any greater height
 This country may also be interested in Germany's progress toward the po- sition of the worlds arbiter. That power has long cast covetous eyes upon South America, particularly Brazil, and it's clutch has only been prevented by the Monroe doctrine. With sufficient power, the Kaiser might even decide to. defy that doctrine and it's defender, the United States.

 The recent visit of Frederick C.
 Beach, of this town, to Los Angeles. Cal, was in the interest of the Postal Progress League He wished to look over the ground in that part of the country, and advise with those who believe in postal progress. MT. Beach IS convinced that if all postal facilities were utilized, loss would be eliminated from the post office department. He would make use of the rural mail de- livery to this end, and he would have the present rates and system of the post office department changed, and this Is the object of the league with which he is connected. He says the rural delivery wagons, which now carry the mails, could just as well carry several hundred pounds of mer- chandlse as p pounds of mail matter. Local parcel deliveries he believes would wipe out the deficit in the post office department. While in Los An geles MT. Beach visited several of the puDnc schools and was a guest; at banquet given in his honor at I-evys.

New York policemen are to be in structed in boxing and wrestling and also in the Japanese are of jiu jitsu, as a means of retiring the billy and the nightstick from active service. This is a much better move than the revol- yer target practice which has been proposed in some quarters. If to it were added a requirement. of running exer- else, the result might be the capture of culprits who now escape. as well as healthful reduction of the unduly large average avoirdupois.

NEW JERSEY TAXING THE BIG
 TRUSTS.

Like Connecticut, New Jersey needs money and is looking for new or in- creased sources of revenue Being the home of most of the big corporations,
 It is natural that the state should look to them for the funds needed. The Senate has, therefore, passed a bill which places a tax on franchises, baS- Ed upon issued and outstanding stock. It applies only to corporations with capital stock over $5.000, 900, and the rate is $50 per s1 ,OO0, 900 of stock This
 lm zhcfease of s10O, there now being tax of $50 per s1 ,0oO. 900. That is, cor porations chartered in New Jersey and having capital stock of 5000, 900 or less will continue to pay $50 per s1,o00, ,0oo.. while those of over s5,000,00 capital will pay $50 per s1 ,OOO,OO The new tax is applicable to about 200 corpora lions and will, it is estimated, yield zbout $500.o0O a year. Among these corporations, the Steel Trust which now pays $47,00O a year, will be com pelled to pay $134.O00. The motive of he new tax is a desire to avoid the inn position of a direct State tax
 There is a partial similarity between this New Jersey tax. and the proposed scOTporation-eXceSS tax in COnnect1- rut-that is, both are practically fran chise taxes based upon outstanding vtock, but the Connecticut bill goes further by using as, a basis the mar ket values of stocks, which are in many instances greater than the par values
 There will quite probably be litiga- tion over the New Jersey bill, should 1t become a law, for the proposed in crease is discriminating tax, and the courts may overturn it. Certainly, such corporation as the Steel Trust will be likely to Seek a judicia1 test.
 New Jersey is the home of probably more corporations than any other state. Its laws were considered so encoura ging that most of the big trusts hold charters under them- This proposed increase in the franchise tax may discourage the movement of Hould-be corporations toward New ter sey and give other States a chance at the initial charges which have given New Jersey very considerable reve- aue for some years.

It is not at all surprising that Hart ford rejected no-license by a heavy majority The wonder is that the ad- vocates of no-license gave the chal- fenge for a test of public sentiment at the polls.

The latest objection to the tariff bill relates to the duties on chicory. 1t seems that the present duty on un- ground, dry chicory root is one cent a pound; the pending bill increases the duty to cents a pound. It is urged that this would make the use of chi rory with coffee unprofitable and de- stroy a large home industry, and in ad- dition would increase the cost of living {to those, mostly people of foreign birth, who use chicory with coffee in order to gain a characteristic flavor.

An argument in support of the pro posed increased duties on hosiery, which has just appeared, is that cer- tain big department stores in New York and Chicago maintain hosiery factories in Germany, and that the Alnerican manufacturers should be protected against them. Consumers are not likely to be much influenced by this argument, however it may have reached the judgment of the Ways and Means committee.

Paper manufacturers are asking for retention of the present tariff duty on paper, while not antagonizing free wood-puip. In other words, they de sire free raw materials, but with the privilege of continuing the present prices on the finished product. By this means, they would pocket an addition al profit It is a most bare-faced ex- hibition of greed.

Municipal Affairs
MAYOR ANNOUNCES
HAYNES APPOINTMENT
WILL HAVE NEW MEMBER ON
CIVIL SERVICE
sions Must Be Chosen at Once,
as Their Services Are
Needed

Dr. John r. Haynes will be the, new
civil service commissioner to succeed
DR.. d. w. Edelman, resigned. Mayor
ment last night just before leaving
his office
1t has been generally supposed that
DR.. Haynes would get the place, as he
was commissioner from the time the
board was formed until last year, when
his term expired and Harper appoint
ed George l. Cochrane in his place.
DR.. Haynes is recognized as an
authority on civil service matters and
is deeply interested in the work He is
also affiliated with the Good Govern
ment organization.
Mayor Alexander also said last night
that he would appoint two commits
sions the public utilities and the har-
Dor, this week and send their names
to the council for confirmation next
Tuesday. He believes some haste is
necessary in the formation Of these
two bodies, as the public utilities COM
mission will have to make a report
in February and the harbor bond cleo
ton is also scheduled for that month.
But his other commissioners the
mayor will not appoint until the new
council is in office, he declared. He
stated that he would retain as many
of the commissioners he now has as
he can and hopes to be able 70 retain
them all. But Commissioners Trask
and Graham of the police board are
anxious to resign and the mayor may
have to fill their places.

HAMLIN SAVES VALUABLE
LANDS TO MUNICIPALITY
Figures Up Price of Lots Asked For
by Domestic Gas Company as
Worth $40 Each

City Engineer Hamlin pointed out a
little matter TO the board of public
works yesterday that may result in
the city securing $12.500. or at least
that the city will not give away valu-
able land TO a private corporation for
nothing.
The Domestic Gas company asked
the board of public works TO vacate
portions of Tenth and Eleventh streets
east of Santa Fe avenue. The board
referred the matter to the city en-
gineer and he reported yesterday that
these parts of streets are not Of much
public value. and as they were close
to Ninth street il did not appear prob
able that they would ever be opened
across the river
But Mr.. Hamlin also called atten-
ton to the fact that the land to be
vacated. which would revert to the
petitioners, contained 1900 square
feet, or the size of twelve and a half
lots He found lots in this locality
assessed at S410 each and concluded
they must be worth at least $1,000 a
lot The petition for vacation was de-
MED until some reasonable oGer is
made.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-16

if something is not done, City Engineer
Hamlin believes it will be much cheap
er for the council to follow his idea.
A large storm sewer seven and q
half feet in diameter was constructed
from Alameda street and Stephenson
avenue to the Los Angeles river under
the storm sewer bond issue of 1908.
This sewer has never been used to its
capacity. 1t was planned to extent
up Alameda, and it was the proceed
ings to follow this plan that the coun-
ell abandoned.
The ciey engineer proposes to build
120 feet of the main sewer north on
Alameda street from Second, with two
large catch basins, each basin to be
80 feet long and connecting with the
main sewer by means of two 42sinch
pipes. 1t is believed that little storm
water can get past these catch basins
and the objects of an expensive storm
sewer would be served.

Associated Pressl

BERKELEY, Dec. 15.-Dr. Archibald
r. Ward, in charge of the state hy-
gienic laboratory and head of the de-
partment of bacteriology at the uni
versity of California, announced last
night that abosute proof Of the exist
ence of rabies, or hydrophobia, had
been obtained from laboratory tests on
cases from several cities in California.
Until we have had accurate data on
how the disease spread from Pasadena
to Stockton" said DR.. Ward, I'VE have
no means of telling whether rabies
exists all through the San Joaquin and
Sacramento valleys. If the disease has
been transmitted through the valleys,
each locality where rabies is found
should take immediate precautions by
the passage of a law requiring the
nluzzling of all dogs.
"rhis is the only effective method
for the prevention of the transmission
Of rabies"'
DR.. Ward voiced the views Of the sit
uation in the state in regard to rabies,
the dreaded disease which has made
its appearance in Pasadena, Los Ange-
les and Stockton, where cases of the
disease have been discovered In the
last two weeks.
According to DR.. Ward, the disease is
entirely new west of the Rocky noun
tains.

SCARCITY OF LAB0RERS
FOR AQUEDUCT DUTIES
Board of Public Works Seeking Men
in Order to Rush Big Ditch
to Completion

Work appears to have become so
plentiful i'm Los Angeles that there are
but few unemployed men, The aque-
duct department has had difficulty in
securing enough labOrers. About 800
lahorers are wanted at once along the
line of the aqueduct and men who Will
apply at the aqueduct headquarters in
the central building will find employ
ment.
Laborers are paid 81 a day and are
charged Is cents for their board. They
are given free sleeping quarters in the
bunk houses owned by the aqueduct.
The demand for laborers is due to
the decision of the board OF public
works to rush the building of the
adueduct so that it can be completed
n year earlier than was estimated. The
Olancha division is being opened anl
this will require even more men than
are now sought.

FIRST FRUITS OF HARB0R
ALREADY MADE APPARENT 7

Increase in the facilities for handling
freight between New York and Los
Angeles by the American Hawaiian
Steamship company via the Isthmus of
Tehauntepec, will be made Christmas
day. The time for transporting freight
will be materially cut so as to allow the
company to handle sixty-one cargoes
during the coming year.
Boats will leave New York every SIX
days instead of every seven. The same
service will be arranged for the trip
up the west coast. This will put freight
into Los Angeles in fourteen days in
stead of twenty-siX as heretofore. The
freight now is handled through San
Diego. but when San Pedro harbor is
a little better conditioned the ships
will sail into that port.

APPROVES OF NURSE FOR
TUBERCULAR PATIENTS
Board of Health Expresses Opinion
That Ordinance Should Be Changed
to Meet Conditions

In a communication to the city
council the board of health approves
the appointment of a nurse to be en-
ployed by the city to care for the in
digent tuberculosis patients, but the
board expresses the opinion that this
nurse should be under the sole juris-
diction of the health department and
not be subject 10 the Los Angeles So
ciety for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis, as the ordinance passed
Tuesday by the council provides.
A number of nurses are employed by
the city for different kinds of work
among the poor and in the schools, and
the board of health believes they
should all be designated as city nurses.
The civil service department will be
asked TO eliminate the classification to
make this possible.

Want Ordinances Amended

The Los Angeles realty board, in n
letter by it's governing committee ad-
dressed to Mayor Alexander, declares
it will ask the council to amend the
traffic ordinance and also asks the
mayor to rigidly enforce the provisions
of the ordinance as they now exist.
The chief complaint of the realty board
is that vehicles are permitted to block
the curbs in front of the entrances to
business buildings. They want the
ordinance amended so as to prohibit
vehicles standing in front Of entrances
any longer than is necessary TO dis
charge or take ON their passengers.

CHEERS MAY HAVE
BEEN PREMATURE
EXCAVATION ORDINANCE STILL
HAS ROUTE TO GO
When Passed Unanimously by the
City Council, Real Estate
Men Present Were
Jubilant

The jubilant real estate men who
cheered so heartily when the council
unanimously passed the ordinance
Tuesday permitting them TO place their
lots on the market without putting an
expensive surface on their streets may
have been a little premature with their
applause
This ordinance, which is commonly
known as the excavation ordinance,
did not go to the mayor yesterday and
it is probable ii may not go to him
for a week or more. 1t must go back
to the city attorneys department to
have an amendment made to conform
to the way it was passed by the coun-
ell, that the provisions Of the ordln-
ance apply only to tracts of record
thirty days after its passage.
After the city attorneys department
gets through with II, and that depart
ment is never known to hasten, ii must
be returned to City Clerk Lelande for
privilege of holding the ordinance for
Gny reasonable length of time. There
is little likelihood the ordinance will
reach the mayor before next Monday,
at the earliest, and after he receives
an ordinance he has the privilege OF
holding 1t ten days before he takes
action.
The mayor is strongly opposed TO
the ordinance passed by the council.
He will sustain w. NJ. Humphreys.
chief inspector of public works. and
the civic bodies which have passed
resolutions condehning the ordinance
by vetoing the measure. 1t will be
December 30 before the mayor has to
take action on the matter, and by that
time the present city council that
passed the ordinance will be almost
thing of the past. The last regular
meeting of the present council will be
December 2S, and January the new
council will occupy their seats. The
new council is not likely to begin its
term by passing an ordinance over the
mayors veto.
