GREATER LOS ANGELES

" OTE for the increased prosperity
" of Greater Los Angeles by voting
for consolidation. Hollywood is a
most prosperous and flourishing sub
urb, which is entitled to be received
into the metropolitan district, and to
share the advantages offered by Great
er Los Angeles, the maritime and COM
mereial metropolis of the west.
Hollywood is a section of which the
people of Greater Los Angeles may
well be proud In every detail that
makes life worth living Hollywood ex-
cells.
Hollywood has fine streets, well
paved; a splendid lighting system, an
independent water system, excellent
schools and magnificent residences,
with sites for thousands more. 1t has
a complete fire department. and in
this respect, as in every other, is
thoroughly metropolitan. Greater Los
Angeles is destined to be the principal
city of the west, not only the greatest
in respect of population, but the great
est in respect of metropolitan equip
ment and achievement. In Greater
Los Angeles opportunity will be given
to human beings to get from life the
very best that is to be had.
Hollywood will help complete the
metropolitan area. 1t will bring to
Los Angeles many gifts, including an
intelligent, wide awake, thrifty and
thriving population. And to Holly
weed the city Of Greater Los Angeles
will give increased opportunity and
will put it on the square-deal basis
of a participant in the ever-increasing
prosperity of the fAest metropolitan
area in the United States. Consolida-
ton day is "a great day for Holly
wood" But it is also a great day for
Los Angeles" Both partners in the
new agreement are to be congratulate
ed on the new era of greater success
than ever before. greater prosperity
than ever before, which will come with
the vote of the two communities to
unite their forces and work together
for the common cause, the greatest
good for the greatest number of the
citizens of big, prosperous, progressive,
happy, successful Greater Los Angeles.

PROTESTS AGAINST PROPOSED
SOUTH PARK ENLARGEMENT

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.-[Editor
Herald: The proposed enlargement of
South park is not suggested because
the park is now too small. The agita-
ton was started several years ago,
when there could possibly have been
no public necessity or demand for such
and is being renewed by
real estate interests. To COM
pei the public to pay for the gamble
strikes a good many in this section as
politics of a very low order. If the new
administration, which is supposed to
be above listening to grafters, has been
convinced that this section needs more
park space, let it select q spot at least
a mile distant from South park. Numer-
GUS small parks are desirable and cost
less. r. c. SCHULTZ.

ordinance as the Voters league rec
ommends is enacted.
For the establishment of a small in
dustrial district near Agricultural
park. which the late unlamented coun-
ell revoked within six weeks, will make
the residents near there lose $4,000 or
100000, because they are forced to buy
this property at an increased valua-
ton in order properly to improve that
beautiful section of the city.
Hence, after very careful considera-
ton of this problem during the last
five. months, and after several con-
situations with the mayor, the secre-
tary of the Voters league has submit
ted to the councils legislative COM
mittee a few suggestions which are
in harmony with a petition that the
executive committee of the league will
present to the council next Tuesday.

AMERICANS GOUGED

NFANY instances of the manner in
N which commercial and tariff con-
4EA ditions initiate against the
American people could be given. There
seems to be a general impression the
American nation is an easy mark and
that long familiarity with prices for
necessities sleeper than those paid by
any other nation in the world (and this
steepness by a strange confusion of
ideas has been called prosperity has
prepared the Americans to be docile
victims of any imposition to which they
may be subjected.
Who can marvel at the growing repu-
tation of the nation for easy-mark
qualities when we call to mind, for in
stance, the discrimination in favor of
the foreigner in the sales of such
articles of common use as typewrit-
ing machines, sewing machines and
reapers? These articles, made in
America and exported, may be bought
in Europe at prices from 20 to so per
cent cheaper than the purchaser is
forced to pay for them under the Amer
lean flag which protects" their manu-
facturers.
Another signal instance of discrim-
ination against America is afforded by
the leather and shoe trade. 1t costs
more to get hides for North America
from Central and South American
points than it costs to get them for
European points 5000 or 1000 miles more
distant than the American points. The
Panama railroad, owned and operated
by the government, actually discrirn-
mates against Americans, and the shoes
of the American people are subjected
to an increase in price through a policy
similar to that which sacrifices the in
terests of the American people, espe-
cially in the notorious instances of the
reapers, typewriters and sewing ma
chimes to which we have referred.
Here are some figures and facts bear
ing on this anomaly: Hides shipped
from Central America to New York
cost $50 per ton, divided as follows: Pa
cific Coast Steamship company. from
Central America to Panama, $12 per
ton; Panama railroad to Colon, $50 per
ton; Panama Steamship company,
Colon to New York. $500 per ton.
Hides shipped from Central America
to Europe cost only s24 per ton, as fol-
lows: Pacific Steamship company, Cen
trail America to Panama $40 per ton;
Panama railroad to Colon, $3.50 per ton;
Panama Steamship company, Colon to
u,npona S1O ner ton
Result is. an American importer pays
the Panama Railroad company, owned
and operated by the United States gov
eminent. $3.50 per ton more and pays
the Pacific Steamship company $3.50
per ton more than the European inn
porter pays.
The distance from Colon to New York
is 1881 miles, from Colon to Liverpool.
1852 miles; from Colon to Hamburg,
1892 miles. Hides from Guyaquil to
Europe cost 1920 per ton; from Guya-
quill to New York, $3.50 per ton.
We hope to see an economic revival
in the United States accompanied by
such keenly intelligent discussion that
it will be impossible for any interest
to easy-mark any further the mass OF
the American people, renowned for
business sharpness, shrewdness and
sagacity.

A dispatch from Detroit says: "While
commodities of all sorts, most of which
are heavily protected, have become
more and more expensive on this side
of the river, in Windsor, just across the
river in Canada, the cost of living has
not yet departed far from the normal.
1t is 20 per cent cheaper to live in Can
ada than in the United States and the
salaries paid in the United States are
not bigger than those paid in Canada.

EDUCATION

an EVERY hand are signs of the
educational growth and prosper
" ity of Greater Los Angeles. In
every department of educational life
the activities of Los Angeles are stir
ring. Nothing is complete. Much is
proposed. Ambition is followed fast
by undertaking, and undertaking by
success.
It is pleasant to see and record the
general prosperity of Los Angeles
schools, public and private.
1t is pleasant to realize one of the
greatest university centers of the west
is looking forward to an expansion of
university scope ana facilities that will
put it in fair way of becoming the
principal university center of the
United States That is no small am
bition. Among the ambitions of
Greater Los Angeles it is the Hottest
as well as the noblest and we believe
the signs of the times show that in
every department of educational work
Greater Los Angeles is going forward
so readily, so steadily, that nothing
short of the educational supremacy of
the United States will be the finality-
and that will by no means be the end
of endeavor. Greater Los Angeles, car
rying the responsibility of educational
supremacy IN the United States, will
further the educational supremacy OF
the United States; and our city, the
Athens of the west, will attract young
men and maidens and be shining
light virginibus puerisque as long as
the land shall live. May a speedy re-
turn to the first principles of Amerf-
canism teach all people the true secret
of its success, and assure long life and
triumphant prosperity to the republic.

on AT least nominal rental for all
natural resources which they would save
from monopoly.
The answer TO the assertion that the
states are better able TO prevent monop-
olies is simple. They have neglected
utterly 10 do so. Theoretically they may
have abundant power. In practice they
have not exercised il. ard il is difficult
10 perceive any good reaAn why they
should be further trusted with power
they have invariably failed TO exert.
The assertion that the East wasted its
own resources before il espoused the
policy of conservation is childish. As
we'll taunt the man who. having played
with matches and burned himself in his
childhood. now warns his child against
the danger with the fact that he enjoyed
and exercised the privilege when he was
a child and urge1iat his offspring should
be permitted TO do likewise. Conservation
would benefit the East only as it bene-
flied the West that is. as il benefited the
entire nation. And those who would sue
cessfully oppose conservation would be
wise TO adopt some method more con-
vincing than misrepresentation.

STAGE cHlLDRENs CHRISTMAS.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: It is to be regretted that the Gus
tom of having q Christmas tree 1or the
stage children of New York has fallen by
the way This deservediy popular charity
has been overlooked for a few years. and
the fact that there are more children than
ever actively engaged in stage life to-day
in New York suggests a needed revival OF
the commendable custom.
Since the passing of the venerable and
loyable Tony Pastor, so long the generous
patron OF the children of the theatrical
world. and the charitable Mrs. Z. l.. Fer
nandez there has not been Christmas
tree for the juvenile actors of this city.
The hundreds Of children are wishing to-
day that some good fairy would make their
dreams of Yuetide beautiful reality and
give them a merry, sociable and an old
time Christmas tree.
AS a longtime and sincere friend Of the
stage children / am DESTROYS Of interesting

II is understood that leading Broadway
manager will give the use of his stage. and
should be gratified to have any one CO.

revival and make several hundred New
York children happy.
All letters or contributions sent to me
direct, through any newspaper or man
ager, will receive immediate acknowledg-
ment, and I will make public report of
progress ard results.
