MAKE 1T DECISIVE

A LII doubt as to a vote on the price
N of electricity at the city election
"A on June 80 next was removed yes
terday when the city clerk declared
the number of petitioners sufficient and
placed the official o. K. on the paper
circulated by the Municipal league.
Los Angeles will therefore fill two
council seats on that date and fix a
price for electric current to be sup
piled by the private corporations for
domestic use.
As for this second matter, The
Herald deems it one that the con-
sumers may settle for themselves
without editorial advice The news
columns of the papers have given the
statements of the mayor, the public
utilities board and the companies af-
fected and their readers are able to
judge whether, as the companies say
reduction from to 7 cents per kilo-
watt hour would deprive them of a fair
return on their investment, or whether,
as the city officials say, after having
sought expert advice, 7-cent rate Is
fair both to producer and consumer.
But The Herald believes it would be
| derelict in a plain duty if it failed
persistently to warn the believers in a
clean city government that the "old
push" which was expelled from office
for the disgrace it brought upon the
city is seeking to get back into power
in the persons of Barney 11ealy and
! lttr,
sonally The Herald has nothing to
say. OF what they represent, in their
own official records, and in the acts
of others with whom they trained
while in office, it has strong opinions,
We have too much faith In the in
telligence and uprightness of the Los
Angeles public to believe that any
thing but a small minority wants to
see these men and what they repre-
sent restored to power. The only pos
sible chance they have is in those
who won't take the trouble to work
and vote on the Goth. But we wouldn't
give much for that chance.
The point for good government sup
porters to remember is this: If the
defeat of Healy and Houghton is not
made decisive the same battle will
have to be fought over a little later
and probably again and again. For
the "old push" wants the offices for
whats in it," The thing to do, there
fore, on the 3Oth is to make the cleo
tion of George II. Stewart and Fred
erick J. Whiffen so overwhelming that
the push" will see the futility of try
ing to get back it's old power and will
give up its efforts for the spoils.
The victory of Stewart and Whit
fen, if emphatic, will probably insure
clean municipal management in Los
Angeles for long time to come.

SAYS WE ALL TOADY TO
SOMEBODY OR SOMETHING

Editor Herald; If it be true (and it
variable a sense as some suppose) that
the Englishman is apt to toady to rank
and aristoCracy, there IS at least this
to be said in eXtenuation: The thing
he WOrships is supposed OloWeVer mis-
takenly in some CaseS) to be. somewhat
bound up with ana representative of
glorious old traditions, knightly deeds
and high military and social service in
the distant and glamOrous past, and
with taste and culture and fine sense
of personal honor and courtesy in the
present. Though this is often a delu-
sion, the fact remains that the English
man honestly thinks it, though he is
gradually getting his eyes open. 1t is
all matter of false tradition and
wrong education.
Now as to the American. He wor-
ships the bully and the buccaneer, the
rough rider, whether of the camp or of
commercialism and finance; also the
charlatan of mysticism, the founder of
some idiotic or rascally so-called re
ligious" cult or fallacy, and what he
Worships has in MANY cases not even
a pretense of anything fine or noble
about 1t. Who so WOrshiped here as
the ruthless, hoggish, cunning rigger
of the market, who makes millions in
a day!
So you see here are the two sides
Zach has his little peculiarities, But
we are all growing wiser as the world
grows older and scientific knowledge
spreads.
When YOU have said all you can about
the Englishman he will not allow the
police to walk around, club in fist, as
in this country, to bully citizens; and
again he finds utterly absurd and mex
pucabe the Rooseveltolatry with which
Americans are posse essed today. The
Englishman would demand some tam
gible achievement first

Ohio and California; Political Parallel
San Franoisco Cam

fighting point. have taken a view of
the primary system exactly the oppo-
site of that held by the Ohio machin-
lists The California machine insists
that if it presents no candidate to con-
test the senatorial primaries with John
ID. Works, the Lincoln Roosevelt
leagues candidate, there can be no
public choice. and therefore no
advisory vote that the legislature
would be justified in noticing. That
being the case, they declare that Frank
Flint may be reelected to the assembly
by simply refusing to give the people
an opportunity to vote against him at
the primary polls.
Dick had the nerve to submit his
name at the primaries in Ohio. Neither
the reformers, the distinctly Roosevelt
Republicans nor the Taft wing of the
machine Republicans presented can
didate. Unopposed Dick secured 20
per cent of the light primary vote. 1t
is freely contended that either reform
or opposition candidate would have de-
feated Dick The senator from Ohio
declines to go into that phase of the
question. He and his machine sup
porters insist that since he secured
majority of the Republican primary
votes cast for senator he is the popular
nominee and the Republican members
of the next legislature will be bound
in honor to vote for him.
1t need occasion no surprise if it be
learned that the machine Republicans
of California are clearly of the opinion
that Dicks contention is sound law
and good politics in Ohio, but in no
wise fitted to the California situation

A DILEMMA

W ESTFRDAY'S developments in
\ Pasadena electrical circles were
Il important and not without their
humorous side Important, because
the municipal plant in that city
offered to sell light current for a rate
graded from cents down to cents
a kilowatt hour, according to the
amount purchased, if the number of
customers is brought up to 1000. Ac-
companying the offer are operating
expense figures that show how it can
be done.
In the face of this offer what Will
the rival of the city plant the Edison
co pany, do? If it cannot equal the
offer it will confess to it's inability to
meet the competition and supply
strong argument for municipal owner
ship. If it meets the offer it will greatly
embarrass it's Los Angeles department,
which is just now contending that a
rate about double that offered in Pasa-
dena is none too high. and a rate 40
per cent higher is contiscatory.
The explanation of the Edison COM
pany will be looked for with interest.
In the meantime we fancy that the
risibilities of several official gentlemen
around the city hall have been ex-
tended to an unwonted degree by the
IMAGINATIVE picture of a corporation
tensely holding on to two horns Of
dilemma and thinking hard what to do
