A NEW SQUEEZE

NJ o CITY in the country has a
greater interest than Los An
= geles in the latest combine to
be formed, the bath tub trust. for the
reason that because of the phenomenal
growth of this city probably more
sanitary appliances are being sold
here than in any place of equal pop
ulation in the country.
No less than 500, 100000 is said to be
represented in the capitalization of the
combine. probably including a gener-
Gus injection Of water, with sixteen
companies Joined to control the trade,
the union representing ninety-five per
cent of the product of not only bath
tubs, but all kinds of sanitary metal
and enamel devices. Already It has
ordered a raise in prices running from
10 to 90 per cent, and jobbers have
shown hurry to get under cover by
signing up as customers, under threat
ened penalty Of blackllsting if they do
not agree to buy only of the trust.
We seem to have heard somewhere
at some time from defenders of the
trusts that combines of this kind do
not raise prices, but by effecting
economies save money for the people
but we find it difficult to recall any
cases in which a trust having COM
plete power has passed along any
blessings to the consumer.
The senate committee that looked
into the cause Of the rising prices
gravely assures us that trust products
haven't been lacked up as much as we
have foolishly believed, which sadly
shakes our confidence in our powers
of observation and sense of experience.
The American Protective league guar
antees that "the foreigner pays the
tax"
The tariff on bath tubs land sech"
is 35 per cent, but of course, that has
nothing to do with the power of the
new combine to shut out foreign COM
petition and compel jobbers to get in
line or get no tubs. We confess our
poor brains too puzzled to make it out
and pass along the problem to the
gentle builder and householder who
buys the goods. They must reconcile
for themselves the new prices with
the solemn assurances of the trust
apologists who have sets of figures
to prove that the Aldrich schedules
are a bulwark of defense for American
labor, and of President Taft that the
new tariff is the best ever adopted.

PINCHOT COMING

H HE announcement is made that
Clifford Pinchot is coming to CAL
u ifornia to make a speech for his
friend, William Kent, who is an as
pirant for the Republican nomination
for congress in the second district in
opposition to Representative McKin-
lay, whose subservience to Cannon in
the house bids fair to find its re-
ward in his retirement.
No man could come into this state
who would receive warmer homage
than Clifford Plnchot, and the predic-
ton may be safely made that in his
welcome President Taft will find that
James S. Shermans assurance that
insurgency in the west is on the
wane" is far from the truth. In this
state, as elsewhere. Pinchot is admired
not only for his own splendid qualities,
but for the enemies he has made
Not only is he as fine a type of
public servant as the Roosevelt era
developed-cultured, able, high-minded,
self-sacrificing; he refused to let am
bition or a pay envelope seal his lips
on a matter of vital Importance to the
country, even when friends persuaded
and enemies threatened. It was neces-
sary for him to commit political sui
eide in order to arouse the nation to
the immense Importance of principles
and policies that he stood for; he did
not hesitate, he made the sacrifice.
He was the one great educational
force Of the Taft administration. Out
Of It he is a splendid embodiment of
that wide protest against the danger
Gus drift in our public affairs that
President Taft seems too weak and
vacillating to check. 1t is within
bounds to say that Pinchot's work in
the forest service and his later sacri-
flee will be the means Of saving to
the American people uncounted wealth
that but for his devotion to duty would
have been taken into the rapacious
nav of private interests already
gorged with Illicit wealth. Some day
his services will be appreciated to the
full measure, as they are beginning to
be now.

PASADENA ADMIRER TELLS OF
RoosEVELT's SERVICES TO U. S.

Editor Herald: AS a reply to Val
Stones letter in Wednesdays Herald,
one is tempeted at first to smile and
ask, ''Where'Ve you been all these
years? 2"
| too have read Cookies poem on Oar
ing, Tearing Teddy" and must say his
brains have gone to seed IL that Is the
best poem he can write on Theodore
Roosevelt. Roosevelt needs no apology
nor defense, so / offer none; but If Val
stone really wants to know some things
Teddy has really done, here are a few:
He served the people in the New York
assembly and fought for cheaper L.
road fares reorganized and brought to
a high state of efficiency the New York
police force, which is no small task;
served as governor of New York state
and started conservation; as secretary
of the navy, secured a million dollars
for and spent it on target practice;N
instituted contests and prizes for naval
gunners, and by this means made suc-
cess sure in the Spanish War; left the4
cabinet and fought with the RoughN
Riders on the field helped the round
robin that caused quick removal OF
army from sickness and fever in Cuba
to Long Island; suggested peace ia
Japan and Russia, then turned over
peace prize money to the cause Of in@
dustlial arbitration in the United
States; always stood for square deaf
to all the world, regardless of religion
or color; fought for civil service re-
form; went down in submarine and
then secured advance in pay for men Il
this dangerous service; started til
Panama canal ball rolling, etc, etc
ad lib.
We worship no hero. We honor
patriot who served his country well. =
my opinion, we honor ourselves q
honoring him.

TARIFF BLUFFING

1t happens that Hiram Johnson is a
good Republican and a protectionist.
So are most of the Californians who
are "fnsurging" under his banner. But
the office of governor Of California has
no more to do with the tariff than that
of Constable Stiggins has. 1t is sim
ply the Stiggins argument all over
again. And people who make that ar
gument know that they are bluffing.-
Fresno Republican.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-26
KNOWS "THE BEAST"

Johnson has grown to manhood
where corruption has long had it's
headquarters, and he is bound to know
more about it than one who halls from
the south. He knows 1.-THE Beast" it's
haunts and it's tricks. for he has helped
to hunt it in it's native jungle, an ex-
perience our friend Stanton has never
had, and which, it is to be feared, he
does not Mant.-LOng Beach Press.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-26
HERRIN'S GAME

It is now certain that Herrin will
support any Republican except Hiram
Johnson If johnson is nominated,
Herrin will drop opposition to the un-
pledged Bell After all, the main thing
with Herrin is to have a packed legis-
lature. So he will confine himself to
the more practical end of financial
legislative ndpatters.-Stockton Mail.

Political Gossip
CAN'T STOP PROGRESS

The people of the nation have been
quick to appreciate the movement
started in Minnesota eleven years ago.
The general adoption of the direct
primary can no more be stopped than
could the general adoption of the Aus
tralian ballot. The most significant
evidence of this is the fact that the
direct primary has found a foothold at
last in machine ridden Pennsylvania,
the blacklist political spot on the ma
tional body-San Francisco Call.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-26
KENT AND McKINLAY

The Lincoln Roosevelt league GER
tainly has a splendid candidate for the
nomination for congress in the second
district in William Kent, and if the
Republican voters Of hat district can
appreciate a good man, McKinlay, the
machine candidate, will be showed
under. We wish the leaguers would
put up as good a man against Need
ham in this district.-Fresno Mirror.

CRUELTY

If President Taft enforces the eight
hour day in Washington the oppressed
clerks will, of course, know what to
do. They should appeal to the courts
on the constitutional ground that cruel
and unusual punishments are not to
be tolerated in the United States.

BOOST FOR STANTON

Mr.. Stanton has now been out over a
month, canvassing from village to viii
lage and town to town. Last week he
spent in the counties Immediately north
of san Francisco. He visited Healds-
burg, Santa Rosa, Nnpa, Veterans
Home, Vallejo, Benicia, Suisun and
Sacramento, and all the towns between,
and everywhere he was received with
the utmost cordiality. His vote in the
upper part of the state on August 16
will be surprise.-Ocean Park Jour-
nal.

ARGUMENT FOR JOHNSON

Mr.. Johnson is a lawyer and no one
questions his ability. 1t is contended
by the supporters of Mr.. Anderson that
he could get his legal opinions from the
attorney general. But the people really
prefer that the governor be their chief
executive-not the attorney general. or
some other legal advisor.-Lodi Sem
tinel.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-26

The offer of the New York Life In
surance company to buy 100000 of our
aqueduct bonds is the finest tribute
paid to the solid character of Los An
geles prosperity in many day. And
we guess those other fellows who have
been trying to renege are scratching
their heads thoughtfully.

BOTH GOOD AND BAD

We all want to treat the Espee fairly
more than fairly. 1t is the most po-
tential factor in the development of the
material interests of California today.
1t is the most destructive factor in our
political ideals and by that token an
enemy to our NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

AGAIN THE COST OF DIVING.

A young lady who taught a class of
small boys in the Sunday school desired
to impress on them the meaning of re-
turning thanks before meal. Turning
to one of the class whose father was a
deacon in the church, she asked him:
civilian, what is the first thing your
father says when he sits down to the
table?"
