INCREASE WAGES INSTEAD
OF DECREASING BIRTH RATE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6-LEditor
Herald: wish to call the attention of
Mr.. Butterfeld to a few facts evident
ly overlooked by him when writing the
recent letter in which he pointed out
what he considers the true cause Of
poverty and child labor. According
to his theory those who do the work
of the world are in poverty because
they have too many children, and there
would be no SlumS If it was not for
the present RECKLESS and indiscrimi-
nate reproduction of the species"
Now l am perfectly willing to ad-
NIT that if no more children were
brought into the world for a century
or two the slum and child labor ques-
tion would be effectively solved for all
time to come, but I am unwilling to
believe that this is the best remedy to
apply Government statistics prove to
us that a man engaged in the occu-
patton of miller, for instance, receives
in wages only thirty per cent of the
net value of what he produces. If his
annual wage was increased from $50S
to 1895 is it not evident that his pres
ent condition of poverty would be at
once relieved? In the manufacture of
food preparations the annual net value
produced by each worker is $2152 While
his yearly wage is but SAL.
Mr.. Butterfield would say to this
man: "Refrain from marriage and
crush your natural desire for a home
and family and you will never know
want" Would it not be more in ac-
cordance with every principle of right
and justice to so administer society
that he would receive the $1711 which
is now being taken from him by
class of men who produce nothing for
themselves, but live entirely upon the
product of another's labor? I do not
denounce the Rockefeller class for eX-
plotting the workers, but 1 do blame
the workers for handing over without
protest three-fourths of what they
produce, when it would be so easy for
them to retain the whole for them
selves. I believe the economical prob
lens of the day will be solved, not by
lowering of the birth rate, but by
increasing the wages of the workers
to such a point that they will receive
the full product of their labor.

AVIATION WEEK

III ARMONY is evident in the prepa-
rations for Aviation week. When
a meeting of the Importance of
that scheduled for Los Angeles is being
arranged it is not right that high flyers
should ride high horses. Patriotism
suggests that concord should be the
studied aim of everybody concerned.
Aviation week is of great Importance
to the nation as we'll as to Los Angeles
1t is to be expected that patriotism
will bring to the contests, in a spirit
Of generous emulation, every man
whose work or experience can be of
benefit to the nation.
with harmony the arrangements will
be completed in a manner that will re-
fleet credit on Los Angeles (Which
apart from all other considerations, is
receiving through the aviation meet the
biggest worldwide advertisement in
her modern history.
According to the program now out
lined, Monday will be Aviation day;
Tuesday, Los Angeles day; Wednesday,
san Diego day; Thursday, Southern
California day. Then will come Mon
day, Free Harbor day, on which
San Pedro demonstration, at once use
full and spectacular. will be made.
Tuesday of the second week will be
Ladies' day. Wednesday will be Arizo-
ma day. Friday, the last day of the
meet, will be Merchants and ManufGc-
turers' day.
All who are Interested in the sue
cess of Aviation week should keep in
mind and should act upon Mayor Al
exander's call for contributions. "Mon-
ey makes the mare 60" says the old
proverb, and it will make Aviation
week a go. It is needed in order that
Aviation week may be a "go"-be all
that 1t is expected to be; that is to
say, the biggest and best event of its
kind in the history of civilization.
Mayor Alexander says: "The big avi-
alton meeting is one of the greatest
advertisements the city of Los Angeles
has ever had, and everyone should take
it upon himself to further it in every
possible manner. OF course it takes
money, much money, to finance such
a great undertaking, and there are sew
eral reasons why the citizens of Los
Angeles should contribute literally toI
the cause; one of the most important,
I might say, is that the aviation prof.
ect has been launched, and it is the
duty of every citizen to make it a Los
Angeles success, just as every under
taking in the past has been a success.
81 hope there will be a liberal re-
sponse by all persons in the city to
the request of the committee which
has been striving so faithfully to bring
the greatest aviators of the world
here. They deserve popular support inI
a financial way to bring the meet to a
termination.
1.-THE event will advertise the city to
the extent of thousands of dollars, and
those who contribute a sum will assist
in very worthy cause. I understand
the money is not to be given, but
merely pledged; that the receipts from
the meet are expected to pay the ex-
penses, and that the committee feels
confident it will be able to pay
back that which is subscribed. Let
us then combine our strength and
make the meet such success that the
whole world will resound with the
name of Los Angeles and the part it
played in the conquering of the air"

MR.. PINCHOT

NJ OST of the people of the United
WI States win be utterly at a loss
A'A to divine the particular phase
of Rooseveltism or the Roosevelt poll
cies shown in the abrupt termination
Of Mr., Pinchot's services to the public.
The conservation of the public re-
sources, which was a prominent Roose-
welt policy, is looming up as a great
political issue. Nay, it may be the
greatest political issue of the day; and
woe betide the party that may be just
ly accused of having bartered or given
away a nations birthright, or permit
ted INSCRIPTIONS and arrogant thieves
to steal it, or punished Americans who
defended the national honor and the
public welfare.
Mr.. Pinchot's release leaves him in
the position of an expert authority at
large on some questions of vital mo-
ment. the importance of which will be
brought dramatically home to the pub
lie by the clamor of political contro-
versy. A very fine old-fashioned game
OF politics seems to be in progress in
Washington. What will the lion hun
ter say when he returns to the scene
of his clean, non-political American
triumphs? What will he do?

PROBLEM NOT SOLVED BY
RESTRICTION OF BIRTH RATE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7.-[Editor
Herald. While humanity can think
and reason, it is continually forced to
solve the many problems of life and
destiny. The problem of problems for
the poor to solve is how to make a
living. and after that is secured, how
to get some of the many luXuries that
are concomitants of our progressive
civilization. Many remedies for social
INEQUALITIES are abroad, and although
every ratiocination of the human mind
is worthy of some Difference, yet race
suicide, or the restriction of the birth
rate among the poor, has no merit
either as a remedy for poverty or as a
remedy for anything else. But it con-
tains real dangers, if applied, both to
the life of a nation and to the physical
and moral health of it's members.
If it should become popular in Amer
lea, we shall become a childless and
consequently a decadent race. like
France is today; and the deficiency IN
the increase in our population Will be
supplied from European and oriental
countries; and we shall become race
of nongrels with no national traits of
character and little or no power in
the world
But the moral aspect Of the subject
is the most important, and We're there
no other reasons, it would be reason
enough to relegate it into the limbo
of oblivion.
Give mankind an antidote for sin,
teach him that he may violate natural
law with impunity, and you are the
nronl1lgator of the most egregious
errors. For the laws of Nature are
inexorable and divine, and the way of

CLUBS AND CLUBS"

OS ANGELES HERALD has called
attention to a serious condition
which exists in this citv because
of the so-called social clubs,' of
which, according to Chief Dishman,
fully 80 per cent are organized FOR
and maintained BY the sale of intox-
icating liquors. Such clubs are mere
ly shebeens, or blind pigs. The citi-
zen who believes in club life will be
justly angry when he learns how the
most sacred social institution next to
"home, sweet home" itself is being
degraded and polluted to serve the
sordid ends of profit-seekers.
The holders of regular licenses, the
members of bona fide clubs and the
people are alike victimized by the
despicable law-dodgers who steal and
misuse the title Club"
Legitimate clubs by every means in
their power should and will aid the
police in putting an end to the fake"
clubs which are only common or vul-
gar booze joints"
The license system was intended to
be not merely a source of revenue but
a wholesome check on a traffic which
civilization, for it's own sake, must
keep within bounds. Sometimes it is
necessary to make sacrifices for the
common good, and if the genuine So
cial clubs of this city recognize this
necessity they will unhesitatingly help
the cause of good manners, good
morals, law, order and public decency
in Greater Los Angeles by withdraw
ing objection to payment of munich
pal license tax.

of cause and effect. We have always
considered fruit put up by the house
wife superior to all other methods.
Therefore we are all interested in its
uses. In most cases, in opening up
a jar of fruit it seems perfect as soon
as the lid is removed. In other cases
the fruit will taste a little fiat SO it
is best to dip out little of the top
and throw it out. I have noticed that
it is the zinc around the cover that
produces this peculiar flavor. When
the fruit is put up hot it draws out
the "sweat" from the lid, and that
drops down on the top of the fruit
and makes the fruit little fiat in
some instances. In others l notice no
effect at all. So in the use of covers
7 would recommend glass covers that
screw on the same as the zinc covers
which are so commonly used.
