AERIAL CARRIERS

OLIFFORD B. HARMON paid a
tribute to Prof. Lowe and Pasa-
~ dena when he said: you people
in Pasadena have the greatest oppCr-
tunity you ever had to make your city
famous the world over. You have one
of the greatest inventors in the world.
He has made good. He is a genius.
His fame in manufacture of gas has
placed his name among the great men
of the world. He has an idea for an
airship. I have gone over his plans,
and they are excellent. They are prac-
tical. and if put into force will bring
forth one Of the greatest aircraft ever
invented to date.
''The aeroplane can make swift fights
and carry a few passengers or a light
load, but for commercial purposes the
balloon airship must be used. Prof.
Lowe has the idea for an airship that
will carry great loads"
Perhaps there is something signif-
cant in the fact that the aerial freight
carrier should be thought out in South
ern California. Constantly defending
its interests against the tyranny of
freight rates, this section of the coun-
try has an especial incentive to aerial
invention. When practical man like
Mr.. Harmon assures us, with enthus-
iasm, that Southern California in the
Lowe airship possesses a practicable
freight carrier, it would be to the ad-
vantage Of all whose industry is SUBJ
ject to the influence of railway rate
taxation to bring the airship into prac-
tical, everyday use as soon as possible.
This should be done, and will be done.
Another Los Angeles inventor has per-
fected plans for a rigid dirigible that
the best engineers in the community
have pronounced scientifically correct
and feasible in every way. Speed the
day of aerial navigationl

DEFENSE OF CHURCH BRINGS
FORTH ANOTHER CRITICISM

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.-[Editor
Herald: Criticism of the church is not
criticism of Christianity. Instead Of
trying to defend the course of the
church why do not clergymen concen-
trate their efforts toward pointing out
the mistakes of the church, thereby
trying to make it a useful, human in
stitution? Last Sunday one of our
prominent clergymen asserted that the
church had not failed in it's duty as re-
CARDS social questions. showing where
the members visited poor farms, dis
tributed charity, etc. One might as
well say that it would be consistent for
a person or an institution to encourage
some great battle or wholesale slaugh-
ter and then go about and minister to
the wounded-patting themselves on the
back all the time and saying "How
good and charitable l am"
l do not think it can be disputed that
the church has encouraged conditions
which have made poor farms and char
ity necessary. The church in England
has encouraged the holding of the land
by the few (for amusement purposes),
thereby depriving the many of means
of livelihood, at the same time saying
"The poor you have with you always, >

to smile complacently in admiration OF

BUILDERS TRUST?

~ REATER LOS ANGELES is a city
III of homes. 1t invites, nay, urges
~ people in all other parts of the
United States to come here and build.
Much encouragement was given to the
homeseeker of small means by build
ing and loan associations, private
building syndicates, and contractors
who We're willing to sell houses on
the installment plan.
This concession to the capital limi-
tations of the average citizen was not
philanthropy. 1t was good sound
business policy, and has been reward
ed in the growth and prosperity of this
of local pride and patriotism more gen
uine and more fervid than can be
found in any other community.
Many of our citizens have an actual
personal business interest in the pros
perity of Los Angeles. Home owners
take an ACTIVE pride in the we'll
being and good management of the
affairs of a city that could hardly be
expected from a community of renters
and boarders.
Now, any action that fleets this
condition of keen ACTIVE interest in
the affairs of Los Angeles is a menace
to the prosperity of Los Angeles, and
we hold such a menace will be created
should the members of the buildings
trade that are said to be in a kind of
a combine be allowed to continue to
act in concert. Already this combine
has caused an increase in the price
of building material, amounting to Is
per cent, and the increase is equiva-
lent to an lstacle interposed to him
der many very desirable citizens and
settlers from building homes.
1t is well worth while to make
special effort to break up this COM
bine before the interests of Los An
geles are permanently injured by
setback in the home building indus
try. The truth might be elected and
the plans of certain schemers frus-
trated were the district attorney to
summon some of the alleged offenders
before the grand jury. Investigation
would probably result in rapid re-
turn of prices of material to normal.
What is the district attorney going to
do about it?

INCONSISTENCY

n THE Times appears this state
ment: zone reason why Uncle Sam
makes his own electricity for the
White House is that it costs him only
about one-fourth as much as if he
bought it,
mat Is an excellent reason, and sure
ly does not need to be apologized for
Our contemporary comedies the point
which has been demonstrated in the
columns of this and of other progress-
I've newspapers, that official ownership
or municipal ownership of public utili-
ties Is vastly superior to the old-fasb-
toned, graft-inviting plan of letting or
selling franchises, and then purchasing
from the companies or persons to whom
the control of various necessities and
utilities has been thus given such ouan-
titles of the necessity or utility as are
needed by the lessor or grantor of the
privilege, at prices determined Ito a
great extent and sometimes altogether,
by the lessee. Is it not ridiculous
proposition on the face of it?
The same national government, which
finds it to its advantage in the ratio of
four to one to manufacture the cleo
tricity for the White House. allows a
private company TO furnish that very
important applied use of electricity
called "telegraphy," or in plain English.
quick communication. 1t also allows
private companies to own and operate
all the great rapid transit highways of
the nation. In fact, the railroad com
panies have made our rapid transit
highways private roads, and the
amount Of toll or the rate charged bv
them IS excessive and leaves altogether
out of consideration the fact that they
are heavily benefited by the enjoyment
Of the private usufruct of the public
roads. Is it not a ridiculous proposition
on the face of it?
Some newspapers and many Republi-
cans roar 'confscation' and Social
ism" as soon as common sense dares to
make the suggestion of municipal own
ership, state ownership, national own
ership. According to these para
gons of inconsistency, who praise
the White House system but would re-
fuse to acknowledge its superiority
when applied generally, it is all right
for the nation to own the mail carrying
service, but all wrong for the nation to
own any other convenience or utility,
even though such convenience or utility
be so closely associated in the general
scheme Of usefulness Of the mail car
rying system Cor popular intercommu-
nication SYSTEM as to be practically
part and parcel Of the general scheme.
How can such inconsistency be ex-
planned? Is it not ridiculous on the
face of it?

PARCELS POST

nY the menace to the prosperity Of
X periodicals caused by increased
~ postal rates the fundamental
questions Of parcels post and of regu-
lation of railroad rates are brought to
the front Most of the European coun-
tries have parcels post. Why has it
not been established in the American
republic? The matter has been talked
Of, aired, agitated in the newspapers
and congress over and over again. But
when it has been introduced for con-
gressionaI discussion or action, activity
has been mysteriously suppressed.
A writer in the American Magazine
tells us why: "A friend Of ours in
Washington wished to see a consular
report from Germany on the parcels
post Of that country. He had been
privately informed that it had been
issued. 1t did not appear Finally,
however, a proof from the government
printing office was seen, and on it We're
these words: withheld at the request
of Mr.. Platt.'"
-rhis>was no other than Senator Platt
Of New York, president Of the United
states Express company. If consular
reports on foreign parcels post service
were obtained and published the people
Of the United States would insist that
our government proceed at once to
equip itself ". h this important branch
OF public service.

HOG IN MANGER

Z" HEN the Southern Pacific rail
w road obtained control of val
liable public property by prom
ising to build a railway station that
would be a credit to Los Angeles, and
that would replace the dismal horror
that now chills the heart of the arriv-
ing tourist, it was believed an effort
would be made to redeem the promise.
The late Mr.. Hartman when inter
viewed on the subject-de mortuis nil
nist bonum. But we believe he might
well have been accused of temporizing.
He always spoke as if his promise must
wait on certain conditions of profit for
the railroad which must be attained
to, pleading now one expense, now an
other, as excuse for keeping back the
building of the depot
This policy has been inherited by his
successors, and We think if any of
them were pinned in a corner and
compelled to give a fair and square
and explicit and straightforward reply
to the question when do you intend
to make good? When do you intend
TO give Los Angeles the railway sta
tion you owe it?" he would give Taft's
answer: God knows"
Under the circumstances, why Los
Angeles should feel sin honor bound
to allow the Southern Pacific to hold
on to property-"Taft's answer" The
S. P. is not a dog in the manger, but
a hog in the manger.

DANISH BILLBOARDS

nILLBoARDs are not a neces-
II sity Of trade There are
N plenty of reliable advertising
mediums. Billboard advertising is a
crude and primitive form OF publicity
atavistic advertising, so to speak. We
hope this peculiar demonstration Of
atavism will not be tolerated in other
wise Lovely Los Angeles. The mer-
chants and business men of this com
munity will render great service to
Los Angeles by uniting in an anti
billboard crusade. If the merchants
make up their mind the nuisance must
be abated, it will not last long.
We believe public sentiment is prac-
tically unanimous on this subject. No
citizen Of Los Angeles who takes
pride in this metropolis does not de-
spise that hideous by-product Of "yel-

aldl. Mr.. stone is right. We should
cast out first the beam that is in our
own eve and then we can see clearly
to pull the mote out of our brother

ANTITRUST MOVEMENT

N UBJECTED to discipline by an
irate nation the meat trust is
facing a crisis greater than any
strike with which it has ever had to
deal. That the American people
would sooner or later rebel against
one of the most fragrant injustices
that oppress them was to be expected.
They saw the price of provisions
going up, up, up. They foresee a con-
tinuation of the upward trend unless
the magnates who control prices are
brought to their senses. The American
nation can get along more easily with
out meat than without any other ar
ticle of diet. Cereals of all kinds are
abundant, and California alone, if it
should become worth while to culti-
vate it "by the inch." can supply
enough fruit and vegetables to feed
the United States.
Popular ideas on the subject of diet
might be revised if not reformed by
an entire suspension of meat-eating.
Other nations have thrived and pros
pered and have done some of their
best work on vegetarian and fish diet.
Japan is an example frequently cited,
but there is an instance among our
Caucasian kith and kin. For years
Scotland was practically on a vege-
tartan basis, using, like Japan, some
fish to "help out" cereals and eggs.
During its non-meat-eatlng days the
Scottish race was at its best. If it
has not fallen away from standard"
in the days of meat-eating, at any
rate it has not been improved.
Meat has entered more largely into
the diet OF the United States than of
any other country. Many people have
come to believe meat is indispensable
to existence. Such people will be sur
prised to find a Japanese diet" will
give health and strength. physical and
mental vitality to the big white man"
as well as "the little brown man."
A successful attack on the policies
of the beef trust will be the beginning
Of the end of all the trusts. Popular
agreement to stop using trust prod
ucts will be 4 highly effective method |
of bringing "magnates" to their senses.
The people of the United States are
not compelled to use trust products |
and don't really need to use them. !
Some people may object to the stren- |
uousness of the method proposed for
the beef trust; but they
should be reminded fire may be fought
with fire when there isn't a supply of
water. Since less strenuous methods
have failed to curb the trusts ra-
pacity, a food rebellion may produce
the desired result.
