AUTOMOBILES

Os ANGELES is one of the prin-
cipal automobiling centers of the
IL world, a. fact that is illustrated
by the keenly interested crowds of
visitors in attendance at the show of
licensed cars The automobile indus
try IS the fifth in magnitude in the
United States. At the Los Angeles
show under one roof are assembled
concrete results Of the work of some Of
the greatest mechanical minds of
modern times. Side by side are placed
the finest and most renowned cars of
America.
The rapid advance Of the automobile
industry must be seen in concrete ex-
amples in order to be realized and
appreciated. Constant improvements
show the goal Of perfection has not
yet been reached, and yet the best
modern models are perfection" when
compared with their predecessors of a
few years back.
Los Angeles has been called the
automobile metropolis, or Automobile
opolis" 1t is the best suited city in
the United States to be headquarters
of the automobile industry. Here
automobiles may be used in country
and in city, on mountain road and on
paved street, all the year round The
good roads movement in Los Angeles
county and the publicity attending it
helped local automobiling, and local
automobiling helped the good roads
movement. The finest cars produced
in America are in Greater Los Angeles,
and to the delight of their owners they
are used all the year round on the
best roads in the United States, which
traverse the finest scenery in the
world that of Southern California in
the neighborhood OF Greater Los
Angeles.

DECLARES WOMEN WORK AS
IN PERIOD OF LONG AGO

Los ANGELES, Feb. 21.-[Editor
Herald: The morning 1 read Mr..
Hutchison's first letter 1 laughed until
l spilled my coffee on the tablecloth,
and now it has happened again, and 1
can't stand for it, for 1 am the only
one left of the old-fashioned women
who laundered their own table linen
and feel that ought to be preserved.
Mr. H. seems to be the modern Rip
Van Win.-le. He has just missed the
spinning wheel and the knitting nee
dies, but if he will put on his spec
tacles he can still find the darping
needle. AS woman l speak with au-
thority. With good cotton burned (by
mem to keep up prices, rags for shod-
dy go up also and darning has become
the bane of mothers lives. If Mr.. H.
will look beyond the charms of Broad
way he will see that the festive farm
hand is degenerating, too, and no
longer cradles the wheat or threshes
it with a fail The men are getting
so shiftless here in Los Angeles that
they no longer celebrate the annual
hog killing. No doubt this is because
the women neglect to raise piEs in
fourth story flats.
" How much better for a man who
works in the mills or factories to pay
so cents a day car fare and live out
where his wife can raise a pig and
bed of lettuce. His wages would
pay the car fare and partially support
the pig.
Perhaps the women do attend variety
shows. That explains why one runs
into such a blockade of manly forms
in front of the Orpheum. They have
left their poor husbands on the outside.
But if Mr.. H. will go out to Maud
Junction some day when McCarey' s
pavilion disgorges it's devotees he will
nt show
either.
Mr.. H. ;eems unable to see the
forest for the trees. In a city fire.
uuented by tourists he sees good
many women of the class supported
by profits on the toll and degradation
of millions of their brothers and sis
ters and i'1dges women as a class by
them. Does he ay anything against
an arrangement in society which re-
suits in productive and a Iion-pro-
ductiVe class? Nary a say. A man
made government has produced these
conditions.
If Mr.. II. is so concerned as to
whether women work, L suggest that
he tear himself away from the con-
temptation of feminine charms on
Broadway and go down to San Pedro
when a sardine boat comes in and the
packing house whistle blows, or that
he take a day off from his own pro-
ductive toll Q understand he is a
lawyer and 20 to the library and go
over the reading lists for articles on
womans work in the magazines, es-
pecially William Hards in Every
body's on "Woman's Invasion" 1t
will be balm to his soul to learn that
women are still weaving and spinning

the good mill owners are guarding
them against idleness oy sending a
man around on horseback, if they are

work if they are not literally too sick

POSTAL REFORMS

~ NE good result has followed the
attempt of the postmaster gem
" eral to make the popular maga-
zines pay the postal deficit. There is
a general demand that the great post
office department of the United States
be taken out of politics ALTOGETH-
Err, AND FOR ALL TIME. a joint
commission, headed by Senator Pen
rose and Representative Overstreet,
acting under the authority of the
Fifty-ninth congress-, made an inyes-
tigation of postal affairs. Public ac-
countants employed by the joint COM
mission reported as follows: 1.-THE SER
vice has grown from small beginnings
over a long period of years, hampered
by restrictive laws which may have
been necessary in the past and may
even now be considered necessary to
some extent for a government DEPART
ment, but which would render 1t prac-
tically impossible any private business
to survive.
"The GENERAL ABSENCE OF ANY
EFFICIENT METHODS OF AC-
COUNTING has been brought to light
by the inquiry carried out by the joint
commission on second-class mail mat
ter. This report was referred to con-
gress on January so, 1907, and our in
vestigation has confirmed the impress
sion gathered from the study of it
that the whole OF these methods are
crude in the extreme and such as no
private business concern or corpora
ton could follow without the certainty
of loss, il not Of financial disaster"
The commission is profoundly i'm
pressed with the wisdom of the ac-
countants' report in recommending
that the actual direction of the busi-
ness of the postoffice department and
postal service be committed to an Of
ficer with necessary assistants to be
appointed by the president, by and
with the consent of the senate, for long
terms. SO as to insure the continuity
of efficient service, and that the post
master general, as a member of the
cabinet, be chargeable only with gen.
eraI supervisory control and the de-
termination OF questions of policy.
Reform is demanded, and prominent,
powerful eastern publishers ask con-
gress to accept the recommendation
by the joint congressional commit
tee of 1907, and appoint a director of
posts. an officer who shall be non
political and whose term of service
shall not be subject to political
changes, and. who shall conduct the
workings Of the postoffice department
with the efficiency. economy and busi-
ness-like methods which distinguish
high-class American business enter
prise.

THE restriction on oriental labor is IN
effect merely a protective tariff on
American labor and is without doubt
unjust discrimination, but While we
have a protective tariff at all the wage
Garner is as much entitled to have his
labor protected as is the manufactures

There Are -Four Obstacles

twenty-five pounds per trip per wagon,
when with parcels post system each
of these wagons might be carrying
from 500 to 700 pounds a trip each way
and so contributing to the profit of the
government and the convenience of the
rural districts it undertakes to serve.
With public facilities like those long
in operation in Great Britain and on
the continent, a branch of the postal
service developed at enormous loss and
yearly responsible for larger and larg-
er deficits would be clearing millions.
The rural service is only small part
relatively of the postal field in which
the volume of business profitable for
the government would be incresaed If
parcels were carried at the rate of one
cent a pound. The government is al
ready equipped with more than 60. 900
fully organized stations. In most of
these the cost of handling parcels
would be nothing additional except for
the short wagon haul in the locality.
How long must it remain true, as
John Wanamaker said 1t was twelve
years ago when he was postmaster
general that there are -four insuper-
able obstacles to parcels-post sys-
tem"-the four big express companies?

OUR GREAT SEAPORT

~ TEAMSHIP men are becoming
posted as to the possibilities and
~ opportunities of Greater Los An
geles; and the business of the harbor
will be increased with the spread of
information concerning the great sea-
port of the South Pacific coast.
The earlier corners, of course, will
have some decided advantages over
those who arrive later, with the
rush"
That is always the way. H. F. Alex
ander, president of the Alaska-Pa-
cifc Steamship company, on matters
maritime is one of the best informed
men on the coast. He is so well pleased
with the business and maritime out
look in Greater Los Angeles he will
open an office in this city.
So rapid is the increase in growth
of San Pedro harbor business, the
| Alaska Pacific soon will have to ex-
tend the Puget sound-San Francisco
service through to Los Angeles. Water
transportation of all kinds is making
great advances in popularity. Long
before the completion of the Panama
canal, a great commercial marine will
be in existence on the Pacific; and a
government line of steamships, oper-
ated in connection with a trans-isth-
mian railway and the governmental
line on the Atlantic, will help to re-
lieve the industries of Southern Cali
fornia from the oppression of a rail-
road rate imposed not for legitimate
industrial purposes, but for the sake
of the forced profit derivable from a
tyrannous gouge.

NATIONS NoN.PROGRESS SSlVE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1s.-[Editor
Herald: Lying on "a sick bed and not
reading a paper for a week, the first
thing I notice of news is a faring
whole page advocating the raising of
Turkish tobacco near Los Angeles.
Would you permit me to say we
don't need the Turks or their tobacco.
Their country is almost as heathenish
today as it was 1000 years ago. Gig
arctic smoking Spain has retrograded
as nation possibly through the use
of tobacco Every Christian and all
who have the we'll wish of the future
generation ought to do all in their
power against the establishing of any
tobacco plantation in Southern Cali
fornia. We will need every acre of
ground to raise cereals, fruits and veg
etables to feed the millions who will
flock to California more and more each
year.
southern California is the home of
delicious fruits and beautiful flowers,
therefore no tobacco should ever be
raised to poison her air and the lives of
the growing boys.

MINING MUNCHAUSENS

TN SPITE of the manifest absurdity
of the proposterous claims with
= which Los Angeles mining sharp
ers, takers and promoters pursue east
ern investors, they must do a big
business, otherwise they would not be
able to keep the country circularized
and to pay the typewriting and mailing
expenses of their nationwide cores
pondence. Greater Los Angeles, a CEN
ter of legitimate mining-one of the
greatest bona fide mining centers of the
country-attracts a predatory crowd of
operators, who use the legitimate ad-
vertising Of the legitimate mining prop
ositions which have their legitimate
headquarters in Los Angeles as the
foundation for their own fantastic and
dishonest literature.
No swindle is better known and none
has been more frequently exposed than
the "black rock swindle" yet this va
riety of mining bunco is still doing a
flourishing business. For that matter,
every variety Of mining crooledness

The black rock swindle is particularly
plausible, because it seems to produce
indisputable evidence in support of the
claims of the takers. The black rock

assayers is said to be valueless. 1t is

upon by secret process men" as con-

statement is made, by adding to our

This sounds considerable" especial

based on the imaginative audacity of

Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-25

IN HE unanswerable fact which Post
master General Hitchcock is
II pleased to overlook when he COM
plains that the government loses enor-
mously on the carriage of second-class
mail is that the German postal service
transports all sorts of parcels up to a
100-pound trunk for one-third of a cent
a pound, and that Canada has reduced
its rate on periodical mail to one-quar-
ter Of a cent a pound and shows neat
surplus.
He offers no remedy for the present
state of affairs but higher postal
charges. He fails to take into account
the excessive payments made to the
railroads or the circumstance that the
express companies carry matter cheap
er than the government. They not only
underbid the government in its own
business, but they have been infiuen-
tial enough to prevent it from estab-
fishing a parcels post such as foreign
countries enjoy.
On the rural free delivery service
alone, Postmaster General Hitchcock
admits, the government sustains loss
of about S2S, 600, 900 in an expenditure of
