THE TARIFF-FAvoRED RICH

NHE particular lniqulty of the present tariff law
! is that it favors the rich at the expense of the
poor If it treated both alike it would be
bad enough, for the weight of the burden then
would be heavier on the poor than the we-to-do
because of the atter's better ability to pay
Mr. H. ]. Black of Dayton O., has made a satir-
ical showing of some features of the PayneAldrich
tariff bill by comparing the proposed duties on GER
tain luxuries and those more or less related ne
cessities. Here few of the comparisons

or more, Al per cent duty snge-barrel shotguns,
value $3, IS per cent.

claimed for it that it lowered the tariff on neces-
stiles and raised it on uxuries. Judge for your
self whether the claim is true.

PANAMA AS A COCKPIT
VX THAT is the Panama canal to be-a gr
wv agency for peace and commerce and clio
relations amOno the MOrldS peoples. v

VX THAT is the Panama canal to be-a great
wv agency for peace and commerce and closer
relations among the worlds peoples, with
more prosperity and happiness for all within its
benign radius or an international cockpit, a chal-
lenge to all nations to fight for its control, and
possible means of misery and debt to its sponsors
and builders, the taxpayers of the United States
If President Tafts hope, as expressed in his
message, is granted by congress the canal will be
lined with bristng guns (that will probably be
out of date, like batteship, in ten years. at an
additional cost of $190O0O00. This sum, however,
is only starter the plan of defenses prepared
calling for an outlay of at least $5OOOO,OOO.
The Suez canal is maintained lnvlplate with
out Notifications by treaty. No country would
dare attack or close it in war. The Panama canal
could be similarly protected. The greatest OF the
worlds nations are commercial and they would not
brook any prostitution OF the waterway tor the
martial benefit of some selfish power.
The grandest engineering marvel of modern
times would not be imperiled but made safer
from attack by treaty The commercial nations
have the most urgent self-nterest--the mainten-
ance Of their trade-to see that it is neutral and
open Anyhow what nation, far from its base of
supplies could successfully attack the canal
against the defense Of our land and naval forces,
always within quick call?
The army bureaucracy wants Notifications be-
cause they will glorify the business of war and
make more Jobs and salaries. The steel trust
wants to sell armament and guns. Some other
commercial interests may want the canal lined
with guns But to do it will be to remove all the
legal and moral barriers that now protect Suez
and would protect Panama, and make our canal
the legitimate prey OF any nation or combination
Of nations that wanted to cripple by attacking it.

WRONG WAYS TO BOOST

COMETIMES it seems as if the sums asked tor
bv the Los Angeles chamber of commerce Tor
- boosting purposes were pretty large, though
there is never any complaint because the results,
which are LIBERAL are almost definite enough to be
traced But if anyone thinks Southern California
spends the most in this direction he is mistaken.
The boost idea-probaby borrowed from us as
the outcome of the good results in California-is
taking strong hold on many cities Here are some
amounts that are being expended for municipal
advertising: Buffalo, 100000; Memphis, $4,000;
Pouphkeepsie $4,000; Portland, Ore, $4,000;
Houston. Texas, $350OO; Des Moines, $4,000;
Minneapolis, S250OO; St Paul, $150OO
Some of these cities have begun to advertise
only within the last few months with all the idea
is comparatively new one. Des Moines, for in
stance. inserted its first paid advertisement last
April, at the same time engaging the services OF
an expert to follow up replies with personal visits
to manufacturers seeking change OF location.
The seven months campaign has attracted several
new industries to that city.
This form of boosting is legitmately open to
criticism The robbery of one community to build
up the industries of another is not de1enslble on
a1v moral or economic grounds. How ridiculous
it would be, for example for ST Paul to spend its
money to coax factory over from Minneapolis,
its twin city Yet it is no more absurd or
wrong in principle, than to bid for and take away
the industries of some smaller town lew miles
farther away across a county or state line.
The Turing of people from farms to cities and
from small cities to large ones by these boosting
funds is also unsound and unhealthy morally and
economically when such movement takes the IN
dustrial props out from under the weaker South
ern California NAV some day yield to the tempta-
ton to prey upon weaker industrial sections and
try TO prosper by stripping them OF what factories
il can but The Herald is rather glad that the day
hasn't yet arrived.

SOCIETY SOCIALISM

ICOCIETY socialism, the public dance given u-
- der municipal auspices and paid for out OF the
- public funds, has had its first trial in Mil
waukee with conspicuousy successful results.
When he first took office Mayor Seidel, the first
Socialist mayor of an important American city,
declared that public Dances as they had been toll
lerated in Milwaukee, were menace to public de-
lcency and pledged himself to Put stop to them.
In doing so he was compelled to offer something
to take their place and society socialism was
achieved
More than .2OOO persons attended the ball as
dancers and spectators, and there were no wall
flowers" A hundred society men who entered
HEARTILY into the spirit of the occasion saw to that
They introduced everyone to everybody else and
many a man to whom dollar is almost as Dig as
cart wheel danced with woman who spends more
on fripperies each week than he could make IN a
Iyear.
/ Smiling all over, Mayor Seidel, whose Social
istic brain originated the idea Of the municipal
dance to bring his fellows of all classes together,
was one of the first to arrive Close on his heels
lthronged the citys aldermen and officials IRON
every branch of the municipal government Gov
ernOr-elect McGovern was represented by William
II. Fssman his campaign manager; the Y. M. T. A.,
1.-The Y W. c. A., the heads of labor unions IN the
citv and the membership of the most exclusive
clubs turned out masse.
The grand march was headed by 82-year-old
IT ,ouis w. Viva. who for many year taught the
Ibnddino army officers at West Point how to trip
the light fantastic. Second in line was Mayor
|Seide next came the representative OF the COVER
lnor-elect and all along the long line OF marchers
the laugh and jest were exchanged between cluo-
men and worknen and rich women and toners as
liz the Socialist dream of Utopia had in truth be-
Inor,e rea1tv Between dances short talks were
oi,,en bv various members of the Socialist council
and the promise was made that more events OF the
kind would be arranged, possibly one every two
weeks.

socIALlsTIc ARGUMENTS

Editor Herald: The past few days
the complaints against our unjust
economic conditions have been many.
One argues for a usury law, another
says food is bad on the aqueduct, an
other writes about the meat question,
still another complains about the
bosses of Wall street, New York, and
last but not least a correspondent
complains of having to stand in a
street car holding two-months-old
baby, there being no one willing to
give up his or her seat.
There is but one thing for human
being claiming to be a man when con-
fronted by the latter complaint, and
that is to give his seat to woman
who has in her care a child as above
described. The mothers and the dear
little innocent ones should, gentle
men, have our first consideration.
All the above complaints and many
not recorded are the best kind of ar
guments for the need of what is
sometimes referred to as Socialism.

and naturally the idea Of opera sug-
gests itself, but madame laughs. 'Pouf
for the opera. Yes, l might have
sung in opera, but what is it? 1t re-
quires years and years of time for
study, during which l make no money
Il have no pretty dresses-I just
study, and study. and study"
PUTS MONEY BEFORE FAME
But fame. madame-think of the
fame that might then be yours"
"Fame?" she said. well. yes; grand
opera does mean fame for some, but
ober Lesourd. publisher and writer,
will achieve the fame and together we
will travel and sing and dance and see
the world and when we are tired we
may go home to Paris and live in COM
fort for the rest of our lives"
Surely this shows a spirit of thrift
and economics rather surprising in
stage folk. sse.T
From the time her vocal development
permitted Madame Ober became ia
vorite of the Partisan vaudeville stage
and the Orpheum management in
bringing her to America has made it
an essential feature of her contract
that her act shall remain distinctly
Partisan so that her audiences may
see it exactly as though they were in
France.
For this reason the singer has
learned no English, although she has
been in this country for nearly a year.
Her husband, who is her director,
writes and publishes her sketches and
always travels with her.
Both Madame Ober and her husband
confess themselves delighted with Los
Angeles. They are passing much of
their time when off stage in viewing
the scenic beauties of the city and
surrounding attractions. ut reminds
me of the south of France" said
madame, "only it is warmer, the air is
more balmy and mountains in the dis
tance even bluer than are those of the
Riviera. But, after all, it is not
France" and a faint homesick look
came into the bright eyes and for a
moment the heavily beaded lashes
were threatened with tears.

A HEARTY LAUGH
Being the days best joke from the news
exchanges.

Numberless are the stories told Of
George Washington. Upon one occa-
sion, while the American army was in
camp, Washington heard that the col
ored sentries were not altogether re-
liable. He determined to test the mat
ter for himself. One night, therefore,
when the password was Cambridge"
the general went out and walked up to
colored sentry.
'Who goes there?" cried the sentinel.
"A friend" was the reply,
Advance. friend, and give the coun-
tersign."
"Roxburgh," said Washington.
mo, sah," replied the soldier.
"Medford," said Washington.
mo. sah," was the response.
charleston" said Washington.
The sentry lost patience. II tell you.
Massa Washington" he said, emphat-
ically, mo man can so by here without
lie say Cambridge -Housekeeper.

Editor Herald: An Inquirer" wishes
to know If the demise of the Peoples 3
marty prefigures the dissolution of the
Socialist party, and he seems TO
worry because some of the Peoples
party wore whiskers and overalls.
Well, Hiram Johnson, smooth shaven,
made a Populist campaign, so far as
the corporations were concerned; the
same campaign that the Populists
made eighteen years ago, except that
the Populists demanded government
banking system. AS the wise business
men do not want an absolutely safe
banking system, the Populists were
called rubes and bewhiskered calamity
howlers. We have had two financial
panics since, but the business men, So
called, are not permitted to employ
Populists in any clerical capacity; all
avenues of advancement are closed to
them, Maybe Inquirer" can now
guess the reason.
The inner philosophy of the Socialist
party is already captured; congress
sionaI candidate Williams, though out
of his district, in a speech here, SAID
no one could live the golden rule now
and he doubted if there were any hon.
est men among his auditors. That Is
to say, the people are to be saved by
a self-confessed political party COM
posed of scalawags and rascals.
But many voted this ticket as the
only means of protest.
VOLUNTARIAN.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-12-09

Editor Herald: At the recent New
York election a generous appropria-
tion of $2,5O0.0OO was carried for park
purposes, thus securing the 10.ooO-acre
proposed Hartman park gift along
the Hudson river and in the high
lands above the city limits.
While this had been expected, there
is a peculiar significance in the fact
that the vote was overwhelmingly
favorable and no open opposition was
expressed. There was a time when
the proposition to expend such vast
sum of money for a public park, ap-
parently remote, would have been re-
jected.
In it's comments a New York maga-
zine has this to say: zone of the
strong appeals made by the successful
party in the last campaign in New
York state was for a more economical
expenditure of money; but while the
candidate was urged to state in what
ways greater economy could be ser
cured, at no time was mention made
of the fact that 81, 600 could be saved
InG SIdLe ny Gloolii6 biC Pehh ~ 80
short, the vote was a new proof that
the people have reached point where
they appreciate park properties. Not
more than one or two further gifts or
acquisitions will bring prominently be-
fore the public the necessity of form
ing a. state park department or
bureau"
1t is understood that plans are all
ready under way for developing the
properties SO as to give largest service
to the public in Hartman park.
If Los Angeles fourteen years ago
had shown just little of that spirit,
what a magnificent pleasure ground
the 3O15-acre Griffith park could be to-
day. Many people in this city think
that Colonel Griffith, the donor has
right to complain. CITIZEN

REHvkE TO THE KNOCKERS

Editor Herald The writer has no
sympathy for those people who write
back to their eastern home papers
and knock Los Angeles. The writer
has been here about six weeks ana
he likes it so much that he expects
toa stay here. He pulled up stakes III
the east and brought his family here
with the express purpose of staying
In two weeks time both his son and
daughter secured good positions. When
one considers the great influx of peo-
pie that Los Angeles is constantly ap-
sorbing, the wonder is not so much
that many who come cannot secure
something to do, but that there are
not hundreds more looking for work.
Where came Philadelphia
every winter the number of people
out of work runs up into the thou
sands, and the newspapers of that city
are constantly printing tales of sui
eide of those despondent and out of
work
This knocking Los Angeles is not
confined to those who are here, but
the day before I started from Phila-
delphia i met "a former agent of the
Southern Pacific on Chestnut street,
who, when 1 told him was headed
for Los Angeles, declared to me that
it was the worst town for the average
man to be found on the map. When
1 asked him how long he had ever
remained in this city at one time he
confessed that three weeks was the
limit. He is now working for an
other railroad and it is evidently his
purpose to discourage people coming
here so as to help another part of the
country. EL-BY-ADoPTION
