WAR PROFITLESS

~ L NJ. SIMONS. editor of the
IT Amsterdam Telegraph, who is
W. in Los Angeles, brings latest
news from the seat of war talk, ana
says it is mostly idle chatter. He points
out the PROFITLESSNESS of war be-
tween the British and German empires
makes it impossible, and there speaks
common sense. There's absolutely
nothing in it, for either country and nc
matter which would. win both would
lose.
After all, modern war in great mea-
sure is a question of profit and loss
Since it looks as if all future wars
would be so costly and destructive they
would be "profitless" perhaps the peace
of the world may be secured through
commercial motives and for financial
reasons. Mr.. Simons has a happy edi-
torial knack of phrasing to the point
or of hitting the nail on the head. The
word "proftlessness" is as good as q
volume of argumentative explanation

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN OF
n the olden time is dead in Los An
IA geles. Peaceful as was the life OF
Sonora Dorolateria Decoldero, whose
last birthday was her one hundred and
eighth, it had passed quietly and prob
ably unexcitedly and unimpression-
ably (hence the longevity through all
the strange. eventful, turbulent his
tory of Southern California.
The days of the bull fghts-the abb
surdly romantic "reign" of Michelto-
rena, of whom Uncle Billy Workman
can talk with appreciation, the COM
ing of the vainglorious gringo, who,
mirabile dictu, could make good his
boasts and live up to his arrogance,
the war with Mexico and the occupa-
ton of Los Angeles by the American
army, with a strenuous and iconoclas-
tic easterner named VIII Tecumseh
Sherman to enforce martial law and
string up the foothill brigands and the
unruly in the Plaza; the discovery of
gold, and, in more recent times, the
first Los Angeles boom and the birth
Of modern Southern California-all

Sonora Decoldero as she looked back

DEATH is TRANSFORMATION OF
SOUL FROM OLD TO NEW HOME

PASADENA, June 1.--[Editor Her
ald]: In a way all things move in
cycles through two motions which COM
plete the circuit. In the electrical
world these motions are known as
alternating waves set up by central
energy over the two sides of the line
termed positive and negative, or bat
terry and ground.
AS obscured light by the form is but
shadow of the body. the body likewise
is but a shadow of the soul
Man is composed of two parts
mental, physical; visible, invisible, or
natural and spiritual. Natural being
primary, spiritual secondary, and with
out either the circuit of life would be
incomplete.
Through disobedience of the natural
and spiritual law we lose time on the
way to eternity What is known as
death is but simple transformation, the
soul but removes from the old to a new
home.
How can a pure soul dwell in an inn
pure body, and on being released
ascend to the Master, where all is pure
and in perpetual peace? Impossible
The impure soul and body is earthly
and remain so until purified through a
series of transformations. The original
making of things always have and
will exist. being eternal without end.

ROMAN CONDITIONS
LEARNED write

LEARNED writer enumerateS
III many points of resemblance
IA between the old Roman and
modern American Republic. AS his
tory has an ugly fashion OF
repeating itself. the strange sim
i1arity of conditions is worthy of com
ment. We have the same problem OF
the annual assimilation of a hetero-
geneous foreign population. New YORK
is more than half foreign. In New
York and in all other great cities there
is a. tendency to congestion of popula-
lion. In the last century the percent
age of city jewellers has been increased
greatly. while the percentage OF coun-
try jewellers has been decreased. With
the increased percentage of population
resident in cities has come a corre-
spending increase of disease. poverty
and crime.
Rome. with two millions and half OF
inhabitants, suffered from the same
evils which are affecting New York.
Chicago and Boston. Enlightened men
and women in these cities are trying to
meet the adverse conditions by adopt
ing social and hygienic methods similar
to those to which old Rome had to
resort.
DR.. w. H. Hastings, president Of the
department of physical education of the
National Education association, says in
the present backward state of public
opinion in the United States financial
support of measures of social reform is
entirely insufficient, and measures en-
ployed are utterly inadequate. Like
Rome, says DR.. Hastings, I'VE are
flushed with the sense of power, drunk
with national prosperity, divided into
classes and masses, the plutocracy over
against the democracy, the idle rich
over against the struggling poor
I'VE are ruled by political chicanery,
and society is honeycombed with brib-
cry and graft. The stern Puritan sense
of honor and justice is rapidly being
replaced by mere policy and personal
advantage; the doctrine of conviction
by that of convenience; the feeling of
reverence for higher power and the
necessity for obedience to divine law by
a skeptical self-worship and self-suf-
ficiency. Like Rome, we are perverting
all the normal appetites for food, for
rest. for activity, for the expression of
affection and the creation of the home;
we are become self-indulgent and blind
to the causes of physical degeneration,
even to the extent of boasting of these
things as new and later in the evolu-
ton of the race; we are discarding vir-
tue as old-fashioned and seeking the
rule for living by the use of scientific
method and classification, yet basing
our conclusions as to normal living
upon abnormal subjects and their I'M
natural psychoses."
1t is high time for a revival of Amer
icanism; and there will be no general
revival of this healthy and sane method
of political and social life until it is
taught in schools and universities.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-03
FEDERAL LINE

L F 1t be true the Panama Steamship
company has served notice on the
a war department It will withdraw
it's Panama service on August g. the
necessity for the establishment of a
federal line of steamships on the Pa
ciflc becomes more urgent than ever
Such a line is maintained on the At
lantic, and Pacific shippers believe
their interests will be protected and a
square deal assured to them by the
establishment of line on this coast.
II we go back to first principles, the
freight troubles and rate troubles from
which Pacific shippers have suffered,
and the undue influence which the rail-
road has been permitted to exercise
over local industries, are traceable to
the peculiar geographical formation of
the North and South American CONT
nents. Nature intended to give us an
equivalent of the Straits of Gibraltar
and the Mediterranean, which, with the
artificial aid and addition of the Suez
canal. make possible British CONNER
cial empire In the Orient, but at the
last minute nature changed her mind
and left us to wrestle with a problem
of canal cutting or rate tyranny. BY
providing a federal steamship line gov
eminent will greatly alleviate the
cramped conditions which are the
ONLY bar to a tremendous western
development.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-03

the first item of the new taxation is a
graduated tax on automobiles, together
with cents a gallon on the petrol used
for automobile power. The income tax
is increased, particularly on those in
comes which the chancellor terms as
"unearned." Supplanting the income
tax are increases of death duties on es-
are graduated from per cent on es-
tates valued at 10000 to Is per cent
on estates valued at 81,000,000 and
over Other augmented direct taxes
are stamp duties and liquor licensesa
But it is when the chancellor comes
to the land that the most radical de-
parture IS made. First he proposes to
levy a tax on the increment of value
accruing to land from the enterprise of
the community and not due to any
thing done by the owner as owner.
From this "unearned increment" he
takes 20 per cent for the state. This
increase is to be aScertained by val
uation of the land provided for in the
bill. 1t will also be made on the trans
fer of property by sale and also 10
per cent reversion duty accruing to
lessor from the determination of a
lease. 1t is also proposed to levy a tax
of a half penny on the pound on all
unimproved land or land not used to
the best advantage, agricultural land
being specially EXEMPT from this tax.
IT is aimed at urban unimproVed land
and unworked or improperly worked
mineral. deposits. This tax is very
small upon which only a revenue tax
of half a million pounds is expected,
but it is the entering wedge" TO fur
ther inroads on the "unearned incre-
nent" of land values that is now es-
tinated to exceed e100, 100000 annually.

APPROVES TAXATION SCHEME
SUGGESTED IN PARLIAMENT

LOS ANGELES. May 31.-[Editor
Herald: Confronted by deficit of
nearly e20,O00,000. due to increasing
naval expense and to payments of old
age pensions, the chancellor Of the ex-
chequer of England. David Lloyd
George has presented to parliament a
budget that marks an economic epoch
in English history. In the scheme of
taxation presented in the budget the
distinction for the first time is made
specifically between learned" and "un-
earned" incomes. The chancellor, in
conceding the demand for more
Dreadnaughts. takes care that the
privileged classes shall bear the ex-
pense. He boldly asserts that the poor
are paying now more than their fair
share of the taxes. He is equally frank
in his avowal that the cost of living
must not be increased by any tariff on
the necessities Of life. Briefly stated.

HELP WANTED

TN THESE days, when complaint is
made every profession is over
= crowded, it is pleasing to discover
occupations which are willing to pay
good wages, and have great difficulty
in filling positions. Educators through
out the United States complain they
have difficulty in securing the services
of COMPETENT medical inspectors
and examiners, school nurses, Super
visors and directors of ysical educa.
tion, supervisors and instructors fol
playground work and coaches for foot
bail, track, baseball. etc.
All these positions command good
salaries, ranging from $500 t.
$4,000 per anum. Although manS
young men throughout the United
States say they do not know what to
do with themselves and are at a loss
in choosing a calling that viii provide
bread and butter, many positions are
awaiting competent young men.
This is the day of the specialist. We
advise all young men and women to be.
come specialists in some modern branch
Of work. and if they thus fit themselve.
and keep an eye on the employment
market they win find their services viii
be in constant demand.

CONSOLIDATION

n PRELIMINARY work of arranging
details necessary before the con-
Il solidation plans can be shaped
and presented to the public is going on
briskly and steadily. Much thought
and much careful investigation are be-
ing devoted to Greater Los Angeles"
The result will be, a plan will be
adopted in which all factions and inter-
ests can find ground of agreement.
We believe concord and harmony will
mark the Greater Los Angeles pro-
ceedings. The people realize public
interest must take precedence of every
other in determining the program.
Therefore local prejudice, when signs of
it appear, must be analysed to its con-
stituent parts, and if it should be plain
one of them is merely corporation
ism" the prejudice must be ruled out
All legitimate interests may be consid-
cred in the Greater Los Angeles plan,
and all will get a square deal, but cor
porationsm is form of selfishness and
would exploit Greater Los Angeles and
it's seaport for the benefit of unpatri-
otto interests, devoted to life, tyranny
and the pursuit Of dollars.
