 The following from the 6oston Commercial relates to the result o' the recent tariff revision:
 "The tariff is revised. That weishty operation which has been talked o' for two years. feared by some and hoped for by others mas been per formed. That ethereal soook before which the African hunter played the part of the African dodger has mate r:alized. The Dingley law has foi' lowed it's author into history.
 The primary reason for tariff re- vision was to grant relief to the "ul- innate consumer from the high cost of living enforced by the trusts with the assistance of the high tariff wall which the Dingley law erected about the infant industries of the country. This being the case, now that the tariff has been revised, prices will Immediately come down and the con- tents of the Saturday pay envelope will go further than they have for years. Logical, isn't it?
 sThe first requirement of man is food. The staff of life is bread. Bread Is made from flour. Flour is made from wheat The Dingley law placed a tax of 25 cents per bushel on wheat, which amounted to over s1 per barrel on four The whole coun- try has recently been stirred to it's foundation by the sensational rise in the price of wheat. m the face of this agitation, naturally the first schedule to be revised was wheat, which was placed on the free list, but was it?
 Look over the summary of the new law and see what was done with wheat. Did you hear President Taft say anything about free wheat? See how quickly the size of that loaf of bread which was reduced when wheat went up is restored.
 Potatoes under the Dingley law were taxed 25 cents bsuhel. They are one of the staple articles of diet of the laboring classes. How much was the duty on potatoes revised, ol on corn, or on barley?
 "The other great requirement. oi man is clothing. Naturally the sched ules on wool and cotton were radical ay revised so that citizens may cloth' themselves more reasonably and ma. buy clothes that are all wool and no largely shoddy. Senator Dollive acclaimed yehemently about the ir iouities of the wool and cotton sched ules but when the bill became law wherein did the new duties diffe from those in the Dingley law.
 why was President Taft given t understand when the bill was in col ference that the wool and cotto schedules could not be re-opened Why did certain senators give in Q free hides when they were told thz if they did not. the bill would be VI toed and at an extra session n Oct Der the wool and cotton schedule would be revised in reality? Why al not President Taft made firm stan for a revision of those schedules How much has the ultimate co sumer" benefited from revision I far as wool and cotton are concerned
 One cotton manufacturer says tn he and his associates have got much under the new law that ths sre afraid that there will bs sueh public clamor st ths nsxt rssuaar = sion that the duties on their produce will be revised radically. He ougl to know.

GOOD ORDINANCES

n RDINANCES to help the police
and the city prosecutors office
~ to close dives have been prepared
by City Prosecutor Guy Eddie, and
it is of Importance Chief Dishman and
other citizens interested in their
adoption should make their wishes on
the subject known to the council.
For instance, it is too easy for
gamblers and illicit trafdckers in
liquor to dodge the present ordinances.
There are loopholes which make it
comparatively easy for liquor sellers
to evade the law, and the provision
an accused gambler must be found
guilty of having conducted a business
of gambling before he can be pun
ished gives the gambling fraternity
a chance to laugh at the law.
The quirk is in the use of the word
Conducted" Before it can be legally
proved an alleged offender conducts"
gambling business, he must be
caught three or four times in the act
of conducting it. One raid only
proves-well, it proves he happened to
be gambling or absentmindedly en-
couraging gambling at the moment of
the raiders approach. But, bless your
heart, that is not conducting" a
gambling business!!
Mr.. Eddie is determined, if possible,
to substitute a rigorous and vigorous
system of dive suppression for the
dilettante method now by law estab-
Iished. He has prepared ordinances
which, if adopted by the council, will
produce results and help make Greater
Los Angeles a better city. There's
nothing too good for Los Angeles, and
| it should have the best ordinances that
can be drawn up. We are certain the
voters of this community approve MIR
