AYERS REPUBLICANS LEFT
PROMISES UNFULFILLED

Editor Herald: The plan to begin
reform by dropping Mr. Cannon re-
minds me of the story of cutting off
the dogs tail an inch at time to
save him pain.
In the last presidential campaign the
Republican platform promised a revis-
ion of the tariff on definite lines. Mr..
Taft tried to fulfill this promise, but
finally allowed himself to be overruled
for the sake of party harmony, and
later on defended the Aldrich tariff as
the best ever enacted.
This may or may not be a fact, and
is not material to the issue. The ques-
ton is, did it fulfill the promise ex-
pressed and implied in the platform?
contend that 1t did not, and believe
that the way to set matters straight
with the least delay and the greatest
certainty is to go back to the point
where the straight road was departed
from, and enact, as promptly as pos
sible, a tariff law that will fulfill the
spirit of the promise held out to the
people. With this done, l think many

CONTRASTS SUMS PAID FOR
REPRESSION AND PLEASURE

Editor Herald The public statement
of sums allowed the various city de-
partments for the ensGing year seems
to me worthy of notice in your col
umns, for it holds the mirror up to
Los Angeles and shows us how we
stand.
Apart from what may be termed the
purely administrative items, the al
lowances divide themselves into two
branches, one being the payments for
repression and the other those for de-
velopment. Under the first head come
$577,7SS for police, $21,07S for police
courts, $4,000 for secret service work,
and charity" $21000; the sum set
aside for this latter though seemingly
pitiful enough, really representing a
patching up and repress.ng of social
ills. To this should be added $4100 for
the municipal farm. and / think one
should also add the $76,026 for the
health department, as it's officers are
really engaged in the suppression of
nuisances. Thus we have a total of
$704S92, and l have not included $4S,-
410 for attorney and $4,000 for "liti-
CATION" whatever that may mean.
On the other hand, we have for de
velopment'-the elevation and tighten
ing of our collective life-the item of
$244 ,452, for parks and $41,SS7 for play
grounds. 1t is rather more than one
third of the amount devoted to IRE
pression," and 1 note that the sum of
$4,000. spent last year on municipal
music, has been cut out. That is be-
cause Central pi~rk is to be no longer
a lounging place for the people, as the
presence of the common herd does not
appreciate the value of surrounding
property.
Moreover, in the past our park ex-
penditures have been largely on ex-
pensive stone walls, etc, which fur
nish fat jobs but do not add at all
either to the beauty or accessibility OF
the parks or to the peoples pleasure.
The costly wall in V'estlake park,
which took the place of the old, nat
ural and, therefore, charming border
of willows and rushes, is a conspicuous
example. There we now have the
pleasure of watching our waterfowl
disporting themselves in stone-bound

CAUSE. AND EFFECT

FTER the assassination of Presi-
n dent Mckinley the connection De-
IA tween that shocking crime and
the abuse of the nations executive
was so direct and strong that from
thousands of homes, clubs and busl-
ness places the Hearst papers, whose
brutal attacks had inspired Czolgosz'
act, were banished as unfit for pat
ronage. Later their proprietor was
denounced from a public platform by
cabinet member, speaking avowedly
for President Roosevelt, as the in
citing cause of the murder.
With the connection between the
latest attempt at assassination and the
Hearst publications no less definitely
established, we cannot understand why
the country has failed to SHOW afresh
it's detestation of yellow journalism
and it's logical results in the Gaynor
case. Have the public sensibilities
been so blunted by it that not even
an assassin's bullet can stir them? Or
does the public doubt the connection
of the two? Listen to the statement
of Golfers Weekly, published in the
city of Gallagher's crime:
For the weeks preceding the cleo
tion and the space of time up to
the mayors speech, the Hearst
papers had been severe and at
times unjust in their unremitting
attacks on his candidacy and his
ice-holding. Following his speech,
they have been by turns petty vim
dictive and malignant. Their wild
and bitter tone in the recent months
has been strangely reminiscent of
their tone Immediately preceding
the assassination of President Nc
Kinley Now as then, closely fol-
lowing the bitter and persistent
attacks of Mr.. Hearst's journals,
came the sudden act by a weak
minded, broken man. In the pocket
of the mayors assassin was found
an editorial from the New York
Evening Journal, contrasting in al
most savage terms the lot of the
city's minor employees with that of
the big fellows" The mayor was
specified in the editorial.
With such indubitable evidence of
cause and effect, people who abhor
yellow journalism and all its vicious
fruits owe it to themselves and the
country not to hold their peace until
the public understands a just retribu-
tion is made to overtake the cause of
two historic crimes.

He and his neighbors prospered and
more growers came to the state. After
a time, naturally, production grew so
big that prices in the northern mar
kets came down, and for the last two
winters growers of lettuce, celery, to-

face balances on the wrong side or the
