SUSTAIN THE LICENSE
ORDINANCE

TTR citizens should vote to sustain
the license ordinance. This ordi-
nance represents the first effort
ever made by the city council of this city
to establish a license ordinance upon the
Just and scientific principle Of basing
the amount of license paid upon the
amount of business done. Heretofore
the license ordinances of the city have
been so arranged as to make the our-
den heaviest upon those least able TO
bear it. In other words, the small
businesses of the city paid much
greater license fees than did the larger
businesses The license ordinance as
passed by the council and submitted to
the people at this election does away
with this inequality and injustice, and
comes infinitely nearer being a thor
oughly just and equitable measure than
has ever been attempted in the city be-
fore. The grading of the licenses so
that they will increase with the amount
of business done will also increase the
income of the city from that source.
Every good citizen should by all
means vote to sustain the license ordi-
nance

ADVISES CONSOLIDATION OF
CITY AND COUNTY OFFICES

Editor Herald: Kindly allow space
for following suggestions in regards
to new city hall: Would 1t not be
advisable to first consolidate city and
county offices and then put up build
ing sufficiently large and modern to
accommodate both for the next twen-
ty-flve years? If that can be done,
why not consolidate as soon as pos
sible, sell the two city hall sites now
owned by the city Except probably
small corner at junction of Main and
Spring streets for a public rest sta
tion). AS to site for the new build
ingn, what better place could be found
than where the old courthouse now
stands (Which is beginning to look
like an annex to the new hall of rec
ords)? This space would accommo-
date q large modern structure of the
style of the hall of records and would
be the best and most economical for
both city and county

URGES VOTERS TO REFUSE
TO COMPROMISE ON RATES

Editor Herald: 1t is amusing to read
the communications from the Edlson
Electric company to the voters OF Los
Angeles. Voter, beware, and vote lor
what is right and just.
Take no hot air story for facts, put
deal to them what they ask as far as II
is lust to you. The company proposes
to split the difference. Every voter
surely knows what the difference is
between cents and 8 cents. -Four
cents is what the Edison Electric COM
pany is furnishing light for at Pasa-
dena.
The council gave the Edison compa--
nv three-fourths the difference ana
asks one-fourth for the people. Now
the good lighting company has the
cheek to ask the people to split the one
fourth.
Pasadena has the same kind of voters
as Los AnAgeles, uses the same kind OF
electricity and pays the same kind Oh
money
Will the Edison company please tell
whv the voters of Pasadena should
have electricity at 4 cents a kiloWatt
hour and the voters of Los Angeles
pay s or cents? CITIZEN.

URGES FlVE-CENT LIGHT
INSTEAD OF COMPROMISE

Editor Herald How is it that the
peoples own friends, the Good Gov
ernment forces-aye, even our beloved
Herald itself-show such weak back
over this lighting rate question? Here
is a corporation literally wallowing IN
surplus profits, making not tens or
even fifty per cents, but cents per
cent, charging us cents per klowatt
hour for what can be sold for cent
or less. and then our very friends and
champions can propose nothing better
than a 7 cent rate, and even entertain
the idea of an 8 cent compromise.
Sure enough we need, if not more sin
cere friends, at least stronger ones

THINKS VAL STONE MIGHT YET

Editor Herald: In your issue of June

Stone. Poor Val! it is really pathetic
to think of his being compelled to live
in the same country with some mill
lions of crazy hero worshipers, not one
of whom can tell of one act of our
Teddy's which was of benefit to the
people; and just to think, if somebody
should happen to stumble on to some
thing he has really done poor Val
might himself join the ranks. "Ain't

least until Val brushes the cobwebs

son to the Destiny Of the Great
American Republic.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 3.-Mr Roose-
welt in an address here advocated
very strongly the fertilization of the
Panama canal. He said that to in
vite other nations to step in and
guarantee the neutrality of this pure
ly American work would be an act of
utter weakness and folly 1t would
mean, he declared, the complete
abandonment of the Monroe doctrine.
II would be a blow to the prestige of
the United States on the Pacific It
would be treason to the destiny of
the republic.
The colonel declared that no ma.
tion regarded the world cruise of the
American fleet as one of hostility to-
wards foreign nations, but accepted
IL as a proof that we were not only
desirous ourselves of keeping peace,
but that We could prevent peace be-
ing broken at our expense. This is
the sort of the note that the colonel
has been striking within the past few
days. lie is appealing to the patri.
otic sensibilities of his hearers. 1t is
making a great hit.
As help to the cause of lpterna.
tional peace, Mr.. Roosevelt said the
cruise of the fleet was powerful. The
chief material advantage to be gain.
ed from the canal construction will
be the doubling of our navy by the
connecting link between the two
oceans. For that reason we must
take care of It ourselves, and we
won't have to ask any other nation
what to do. II Is the most important
work that the government has under,
taken in years.
