THINKS BUTCHER ENTITLED
TO BEST CUT OF MEAT

PASADENA, March 1.-lEditor Her
adj: A writer for the Letter BOX
noints with horror to the fact that the
average butcher wants the best cut OF
meat for himself and family.
Who is more entitled to the best cut
of meat than the butcher who prepares
the meat for the market?
| know of but one person, ana that
is the rancher who raised the beef. 1t
certainly would be preposterous Tor
drone, an idler who passes his time
in Europe and who never raised
finger toward placing that American
beef upon the market to expect the
best cut of meat. I see nothing pre-
MYSTERIOUS in person who makes SILK
garment to wear the same. But when
a parasite wears the product of other
peoples industry / call that violation
OF the first principles of Americanism.
1 challenge "A Gentleman" to ex-
plain to the Letter Box readers who
has a better right to ride in the Pull

the cars. OF course the peasants of

SELFISHNESS REAL CAUSE
OF PRESENT HIGH PRICES

LOS ANGELES, March 5.-[Editor
Herald: AS one who has lived in
countries where men are slaves,
whipped, imprisoned without cause,
held without trial, where the poor
have no rights and the rich live in
fear, 1 will say that America looks
good to me, even If prices are high.
l can go to rest at night, knowing
that If l keep the law l will not be
rudely awakened and taken to prison;
or if taken there by some error, will
soon be released and allowed to re-
turn to my family.
I have been reading with interest
your paper each day, and wish TO say
right here that l am glad the press
Is allowed to acquaint the people with
all sides of questions of pubic inter-
est. Sometimes certain papers seek to
mislead and often succeed; sometimes
they may be in earnest but mistaken.
1t is for the public to inform them
selves on all matters that concern the
nation, and then they are not liable to
be led astray.
I know some individuals who will
not read a paper that contests their
particular brand of politics, but l have
yet to meet the person from whom
can learn nothing good.
1 believe that in this great nation,
you have some of the ablest and best
men in the world. as well as some of
the worst and most INSCRIPTIONS.
You also have many wealthy men and
more of them than are to be found in
any other country-I am rich in that
l have peace and contentment.
High prices seem to be one of the
questions most in evidence today.
Many reasons and causes are given,
but none seem to pass without ques-
toni have solved the problem to
my own satisfaction.
[ simply do not buy that which
costs more than / can afford to pay
and as far as possible l refrain from
buying those things of which the
price is unfair.
| have heard the trusts blamed for
the high price of living; then there are
those who tell me the tariff is the
cause. But I think the real cause of
the difficulty is selfishness. Now l
am not entirely free from it myself
If any one in need of a coat were to
come and ask me for one, l do not
think I would give him my best one,
but if all the people of the nation were
to suddenly become unselfish, what a
great change would take place. Pow
erty would vanish and strife would
end.
There was a time in the worlds his
tory when nations and men lived but
to fight. Nations have learned that
this method does not pay. The masses
are learning it more slowly because
they are not as far-sighted as those
who guard the destinies of the ma
tions.
Both men and nations are learning
that a square deaP' pays.
When unselfishness is practiced by
all the people of every nation, happi-
ness will be the portion of all.

TN THE columns of our morning
high tariff contemporary there
Il appears the following naive con-
fession:
1--WE ship our goods to England and
compete with the English-made article
on equal terms with that produced at
home. The Englishman ships into our
country to compete with our home
product, and he is obliged to pay from
80 to so per cent tax before he can get
his stuff into the market"
Exactly; and here we have neat
example of the manner in which the
protectionists catch us coming and
catch us going.
Not only do we agree that our goods
shipped to England, as well as to every
nook and Granny of the United King
dom, including the remote and hardly
accessible Shetland islands, compete
with the English-made article, but we
distinctly assert that the citizen of
the United Kingdom, be he farmer
in Merrie England or rancher in the
lone sheiling on the misty northern
lures a price that is on a par with
prices charged for similar articles
manufactured in the United King
dom under free trade conditions,
and we further assert the Amer
lean manufacturer and exporter un-
dersells the native Britons in the
British market and derives profit from
the transaction even after paying
transportation rates, pier dues, etc.
Why, then, does this exporter charge
the American consumer from Is to so
per cent more that he charges the
foreigner?
Because protection gives him an in
viting opportunity to REGULATE the
home market, and very naturally he
takes advantage of it, The American
consumer does not get as square a deal
as the British: trusts flourish, wages
so down, the dinner pail is scantily
supplied, and thousands of starving
children in New York and other big
cities are fed at school. in order that
they may get enough physical energy
into their starved bodies and anaemic
brains TO enable them to perform with
out falnting the school tasks of a day.

BLAMES CAPITALISM FOR
HIGH COST OF LIVING

LANKERSHIM, Feb. 2S-[Editor
Herald: OF all the pros and cons l have
read in the high prices" controversy
| may not have seen them THAT of
Pro Bono Publlco seems the only one
that hits the nail on the head. There
are eXtraVagant men, and there are
extraVagant women. but for one side
to accuse the other as being the sole
cause of the high prices is certainly
going too far and unreasonable. The
women who wear those expensive hats,
etc, and the men who spend their
money for tobacco, liquor, races, ETC.,
are, of course, contributing their share
to make things worse, but the root of
the evil lies in our capitalistic system,
that Course of our civilization" How
farther and said that private property
is at the bottom of it. This, again, is
the offspring of selfishness, which in
turn is the daughter of ignorance.
Therefore, the greatest boon one can
confer on ones fellow beings is en-
lightenment.
/ admit, though, that it requires
more than the turning of a crank to
create ideal conditions on this earth
of ours, and so we have to try to do
the best we can under the circum-
stances. collective ownership of the
means of production and distribution
would certainly be a great stride to-
ward better conditions. But then let
us do away with the hordes of office
hunters, who see in their appointment
nothing but a chance for making
spoils; with the lawmakers, who use
their god given faculties to cheat the

TARIFF TAXATION

TT used to be the boast of the Amer
can nation it's average citizen was
Il the best-dressed in the world. A
great Republican once said, "a cheap
coat makes a cheap man." but better a
cheap coat than none at all, and under
tariff influence it looks as If Americans
might be reduced to the sleeved waist
coat which formed part of the OUTFIT or
"underpaid" laborers of Europe in the
days when they (poor fellows) we're
held up to scorn by Republican high
tariff orators as horrible examples of
what the American workingman might
come to if he did not allow the tariff
to protect American industries.
But what has really happened under
the high tariff? It's logical outcome,
predicted by few outspoken men who
were branded as radicals, has come
about, and it's demonstrated-no
merely predicted but demonstrated
and yerified-tendency is to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer.
Nicholas Longworth, a Republican
congressman, is on record as having
Sdtlll III lllN IohlSO " NAlS htAA III iiSA
of the ways and means committees: 81
will read you a few sentences from a
letter / received from a constituent.
l will say he is a Republican, know
it because I served in the legislature
with him, and therefore he would not
be biased by free trade theories in ask
ing for a reduction in the tariff on
woolens. He makes this statement:
GAS a manufacturer of clothing for
a period of almost fifty years I can
truthfully say that l never handled
cloth of so inferior quality for the
price as do now. The masses, con-
sisting of laborers, mechanics and
farmers, the real users of rcady-made
clothing, are receiving practically no
value for their money. The qualities
and the colorings are so poor that in
many instances the colorings fade and
the cloth cookies, and in the manufac-
ture of garments gives positively no
satisfaction to the wearer.'"
The tendency of high tariff is to
make the people use cheaper grades at
dearer prices. After recovering from
the latest lesson surely the American
people will take means 10 protect them
selves from the blighting effects Of pro-
lection, FALSELY so CALLED.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-03-07
CITY LIBRARIAN

n NE OF the most important offices
in Los Angeles is that of city
~ librarian 1t should be filed by
man with knowledge of literature, a
knowledge of books and knowledge
of human nature. The three qualities
are not often found in a combination
that results in efficiency. The city Ii
brarian must be an educator and a ca
terer as well.
He must be an editor as we'll as an
indexer, capable of distinguishing be-
tween the wheat and the chaff of the
tremendous modern output of books,
and he must have such wide range
of general knowledge that he may
know when any subject is thoroughly
the library shelves; and, If there
should be a deficiency in the chain of
information, he must be able to real
ize the nature of the missing link and
to find a book that will supply it.
In addition to editorial and educa-
tional ability to make him valuable
to the community he must have great
and sympathetic knowledge of human
nature, and must keep the library
thoroughly in harmony with the people.
In a community like Los Angeles a
big circulation of popular literature is
as important as a circulation of special
literature. Miscellaneous reading is in
demand, and the field of choice is so
great the miscellaneous reading of the
library patrons of Los Angeles should
be of the highest standard.
A complete and accurate library cat
alogue, with the title of every volume
annotated. If only in two or three lines
of accurate, guiding information, is in
itself literary achievement of which
portunity Of compiling it may well be
proud
1t is to be hoped the librarian of
Greater Los Angeles will be an all
around man of literary experience as
a foundation for other desirable quail
tiles and qualifications. Literary
knowledge without knowledge of the
world won't suffice. Knowledge of the
world without literary knowledge won't
suffice. A competent librarian will
have both. And most assuredly the
city's book expert should not be re-
garded as mere "hireling" He should
be ex-officio a member of the library
board

ANTITRUST LAW

II ISCOURAGED by the non-enforce-
ment of the Sherman antitrust
e. law, members of the New York
Bar association have been giving the
subject special study, in the hope that
an accurate diagnosis of the case,
with a plain statement of the defects
that are hampering justice, may bring
about a remedy. One of the contrib
utors to the discussion is Gilbert Hol-
land Montague, whose learned analy-
sis and conclusions derived therefrom
were published recently in the Yale
Law Journal.
Mr. Montague writes that for nearly
twenty years it has been a crime
against the United States TO make a
contract which shall in any degree
restrain trade among the several
states. For nearly thirteen years the
Interpretation of this law by the
courts has tended to show that two
thirds of the business of the country
is carried on in defiance of law. and
that a strict enforcement of the law
would prohibit the normal growth of
almost every commercial enterprise.
The purpose of the Sherman anti
trust law was the prevention of mo-
nopoly. But, says Mr.. Montague, 1.-The
defect of the act has been its sweeping
denunciation of every contract, com
bination or agreement in the form of
trust or otherwise in restraint of trade
or commerce among the several states
or with foreign nations"
The supreme court has commented
on the indehniteness of the law. If
contracts, associations and loose COM
binations restraining trade in the
slightest degree were illegal, the cor
poration lawyers reasoned, then con-
tracts, associations and loose combi-
nations should be abandoned for con-
solidation under single ownership in
holding corporations.
Gigantic holding corporations, de-
signed to concentrate in single control
power which previously had been diff
fused among groups of concerns. were
formed on every hand. The purpose
of the Sherman antitrust law was to
further free competition. The defect
in the act consists in its sweeping
prohibitions which stultify this pur-
pose by preventing certain of the most
normal agencies of competition.
Mr.. Montague holds that if the
Sherman antitrust law were amended
so as merely to forbid contracts and
combinations which are made for the
purpose of sitting competition, it
would well-nigh make illegal every
improper method of competition and
make lawful every healthy agency Of
free competition.
Mr.. Montague's opinion is that Of an
expert. The general public, while it
accords to all expert opinion the def
erence due, eagerly awaits ANY law
full and constitutional action which
will deliver our oppressed country
from the burden of the trusts, the
most audacious and unpatriotic of all
of which, the food trust, has inflicted
on the American people genuine, tyr
