ANOTHER PRIVILEGE DEMAND

= OVERNOR CLARK of Alaska has recon-
T mended in his annual report that the coal
deposits of that territory be thrown open
to development, giving a reason that there is a
supply estimated to be sufficient for Americas
needs at the present rate of for 5000 years and
that therefore conservation can serve no general
good and does harm to Alaska by hndering its de-
veopment.
This is plausible argument, and it is good if
we intend to go in the old way of letting the
few exploit the many There is no way apparent
whereby, if the rich deposits of Alaskan fuel are
thrown open to lease or sale, their operation can
be prevented from gradually, if not Immediately,
falling into corporate hands. In these days big
corporations swallow the smaller until there is a
monopoly. No way has been found to prevent it.
The opening of the Alaska fields might result
in fortunes for those individuals enterprising
enough to get there first, but in the end the people
at large must pay for that we'll the fortunes
later spent in absorbing them plus big profit
Why should not the government itself develop
these fields for the benefit of the whole people?
America is fast being converted to the idea that
all the necessities of life should be kept of pr-
vate hands and retained by the government, city,
state or national as trustee of the people.
The widespread unrest all over the world to-
day is the result of the exploitation and robbery of
the many by the privileged few. If the American
government wants to crop of dragons
teeth and reap crop of revolution it will continue
to turn over the common riches, and particularly
such necessaries as fuel to private hands. If not
it will keep and administer them for the benefit of
all at the lowest price.

INTERESTING BRITISH POLITICS

d RTTlSH politics present just now many
y points OF interest many presages OF crucial
change; many signs and portents-nostly
misleading to those who look on from distance.
More than ordinarily true is it that all parties
trusting everything to eXpediency. The real bed
rock issues are not on the surface.
The Unionists (not to be confounded with our
labor unionists) comprise that part, nearly the
whole, of the Conservative or Tory party most
opposed to home rule for Ireland They the
natural champions and henchmen OF the house of
lords since it is never over Tory legislation that
trouble with the upper chamber arises. Thus the
willingness of the Unionsts TO sanction a reform
of the hereditary chamber is decidedly in the
nature OF a counsel of eXpedency, to ward off a
worse event. Since needs must when the devil
drives" the lords themselves will consent to
be mended rather than ended-the more than pos
sbe alternative
And SO, led by that cynical scion of the house
of Cecil, Arthur James Bafour, patrician defender
of "philosophic doubt (no connection with vulgar
plebeian agnosticsm), dilettante scientist and
dialectician, party and leader alike represent no
principles save what we have (of power and priv
ilege) we'll hold, if possible. Failing that, we'll
make it an act of grace to let go as little as
may be-
The Liberal party, not over sincere In its hos
tiliy to the lords, yet hard put to it to maintain
its wonted attitude of dignifed marking time while
1ashed on the flank by its own radical tail and
kicked from behind by the Labor (Sociaist) party,
has protracted its dire thrcatenings its parleyings
and conferences" till it can no longer disregard
the public command to cease its damnable face
and begin" and SO it has gone before the country,
not without an eye to the off-chance, maybe that
a perplexed and disgusted electorate may come to
the rescue and elect their opponents. They slipped
out of office (and responsibility in this way under
Lord Rosebery few years back
Again, expedency will doubtless play its part
in the Labor party tactics. Many Liberal seat
will be left uncontested not only for fear of help
ing the lords, but also because the Labor element
while taking little stock in either tariff reform or
free trade fundamentally affecting the economic
situation of the masses, are on the whole disposed
to consider free trade as the lesser of two evils
There are other reasons why the Labor party,
which is mostly Socialist, may not make its full
logical showing this time. Beginning we'll they
later disappointed their supporters by weakening
off toward opportunism. Victor Greyson com
planned that many who went out as white mice to
permeate the parliamentary cats with their views
came back looking like white kittens"

WAsHINeToN,s EXAMPLE

Editor Herald: To the sixty or more
happy but befuddled women workers
and boosters" of club recently or
ganized to put woman suffrage down
and out, please sit up and take notice
that our sister state of Washington
has passed the woman suffrage bill
Shall California be lacking in this wise
example?
1 quote from my brothers letter this:
every county goes yes by big ma
jority and nearly every precinct gives
2 to 1 and up to to / in favor. Thir-
teen out Of fourteen OF our wards here
in Seattle voted 'yes,' come up and
vote! Aren't you ashamed to be still
in the kindergarten class?"
I am ashamed to know that there
are even sixty women in the city of
Los Angeles who are so fanatical as to
believe that women do not deserve nor
desire equal rights with the male man!
May I not give some excerpts from
the brainiest, busiest and most bril-
liant students of the human race and
century? First is the opinion of honest
Abe Lincoln:
II go for all sharing the privileges
of the government who assist in bear
ing it's burdens, by no means exclud-
ing women"
"Those who are ruled by law should
have the power to say what shall be
the laws and who the lawmakers.
Women are as much interested in legis-
lation as men, and are entitled to rep
resentation. William Lloyd Garrison.
II think there will be no end of the
good that will come by woman's suf.
frage, on the elected, on elections, on
government and on woman herself
Chief Justice Chase.
Henry Ward Beecher believed that
women would be fully protected from
harm. He says: 1--WE need the par
ticipation Of woman in the ballot box"
In Idaho Governor Brady says: "If
every question Of right and wrong
could be decided by the majority of
the true women of the country there
would be no question about the safety
Of our institutions. 1 am unqualified
ly in favor of woman suffrage. Idaho
has suffrage"
1 will close with what 'Teddy"
Roosevelt says: 1.-THE mother to be
true mother, must be more than a
cross between head nurse and house,
keeper. She must have an interest in
outside things to keep her own self
respect. Yes, believe in woman suf-
frage."

OLD MAID EXPLAINS

Editor Herald: Ouch! What a slap
Mr.. Arthur has given me in yesterdays
letter to your paper.
AS to the subject in discussion Mr..
V. Longley has expressed my ideas
perfectly, and I hope it will have some
weight in deterring many couples from
bringing little innocents into poverty.
Now, I know men and women that
are living single lives because they
are handicapped in their first start in
life by supplying the wants of young
er members of their families and of
other ne'er-do-well parents. If these
bachelors and old maids are helping
these married dfor-nothings to
live the life God intended them to,
what in the name of common sense are
the single ones doing? The life that
Satan intends them to? In doing our
duty to God, we must not forget our
country.
My advice to the couples in ques-
ton is to remember that love never
will fill empty stomachs.
There is an old adage which says,
When poverty comes in at the door
love flies out at the window.
We have to use the talents God has
given us. even though it's only one. to
the best of our ability.

USURY LAW NEEDED

Editor Herald: The thing most need
ed in California is a usury law. The
other states, or most of them, have
such a law. and why not California,
which is more in need Of it than any?
The attention of our lawmakers has
been called to this matter from time
to time, but they have failed to act,
and moneylenders continue to charge
all the interest they choose. During the
last session of the legislature I wrote
to my representative on the subject,
but he declined to act. saying that "a
usury law would keep capital out of
this state" 1 asked him If he thought
tai out of that state? He made no
reply, but then a reply was hardly ex-
pected, as he was a stockholder in a
usurious moneylending concern. 1
sent him statistics showing how much
money was loaned yearly in Califor-
MIA on mortgages, and, approximately,
how much money was extorted as
usury. But this made no difference;
it was like pouring water on the back
Of a duck. Those who lend money,
not those who borrow, have the in
huence. The borrowers of money in
California are very numerous, and
they are excellent voters, but when it
comes to making laws they don't count.
They pay millions as usury and no
one is willing to protect them.
