THE SAILORS TROUBLE

Editor Herald: The present condition
Of the Republican party puts me in
mind of story. (First we will con-
slider Teddy, the lion hunter, the old
gray mare and Taft and Sherman the
yoke of oxen. When they failed to make
Teddy chairman of the New York con-
vention they bloWed up the yellow
jackets nest)
There was an Irish sailor applied and
got a job with a Missouri farmer, who
sent him out to plow with what they
call a spike team, yoke of oxen and
an old gray mare. All went we'll until
she plowed up yellow jockets' nest.
The wasps stung the team, and the
oxen turned the yoke and the old mare
began kicking, so the sailor thought
he must report to the farmer. He left
the team and ran to the house, and
when the farmer got in sight ne re-
ported:
Captain, captain, the larboard OK

Los Angeles Loses $1,000 a Day
(Pacihc outlook

A thousand dollars a day is hand
some sum for an individual, and even
for a city like Los Angeles it repre-
sents great possibilities. 1t is a fact
that members of the council and oth-
ers in authority should keep constant
ly before them that for every day we
proceed with the aqueduct enterprise
on half rations financially we are out
of pocket about $1,000 on the ultimate
total of expense.
The loss comes in two ways. Before
the syndicate, that may or may not
buy our bonds and won't say whether
il will or ii won't, undertook to squeeze
us out of the electric lighting and
power project, we were spending about
S450,00 a month on the aqueduct and
working over 1000 men. Now we are
spending $250,000 a month and working
only 1900 men. Every practlcal man
will understand that big things can be
done most economically on large
scale. If the natural maximum under
which this work should be done Is
S450,000, a cut to $250000 or so per cent
of the original total, must mean Sc
rious loss. 1t means, moreover a de-
Law at the other end in the GATE OF
completion equal to at least one-thlrd
of the period Of strlngency-or one
third of nine months, which would be
one-fourth of a year. When the en-
ternrise is finished we shall be paying
over 1,OOO, 900 year in interest, which
will then be offset by the sale of wa
ter, but there will be no sale of water
until it gets here That one-fourth
of a year of lost time means about
$250,OO0 of interest.
In the municipal affairs column OF
our last issue we called attention TO
q recent occurrence in Philadelphia,
where s3. 00O. 900 of municipal bonds, 30
wear at 4 per cent were offered direct
to the people and were instantly sub
scrIbed, with $3,500,000 oversubscrip-
tions. More than SO offered for every

political bureau had backed one or two
of the candidates it could not have
been suspected of blowing money
with the lavish hand of the Standard
Oil company. At the Sibley rate Hiram
Johnson could have spent million dol
lars in getting his nomination, which
lends color to the belief that Sibley's
outlays were not strictly above re
proach.
So shrewd a person as Senator Flint
sidestepped the late campaign on the
ground that it would cost 100000 TO
carry on a successful fight under the
direct primary, although Judge Works
has sworn that his expenditures did
not exceed $1,000. These are the ex-
tremes between which are to be found
the amounts laid out by the various
candidates-that is, If we ever do find
It is recalled that In the famous
Lincoln Douglas campaign in 1858 Lin

De added, was suspected of being spent
corruptly but for organization purposes
and to satisfy the leeches who always
hang on a liberal candidate who puts
his faith in the power of money.
In California we have laws concern
ing expenditures for election purposes.
but we have no corrupt practices law
with teeth in it to compel an itemized
statement of where the money goes in
q campaign. Such a law would not
only satisfy mere curiosity as to what
campaigns cost but save California
from the Joe Sibleys and from such as
Senator Stephenson, who admits his
seat In the senate to represent Wis
consin cost 100000 of a fortune piled
UP by his lumber business through the
material help of the high tariff on that
commodity.

dollar asked. The voluntary bank sub
scriptions amounted to $150o,000 The
finances of Philadelphia are by no
means as sound as those of Los An
geles, and our bonds are Az per cent
as against the eastern bonds 4 per
cent. We believe, therefore, that IL
million OF these bonds were offered to
our people now, to be delivered in Feb
ruary If the syndicate fails to make
good at that time, they would be sub
scribed Immediately. Half of this
amount was offered by the banks a
month ago and was not accepted, be-
cause the money was obtained from
other sources.
The effect of such a subscription
would be to let loose $4,000 900 that the
finance committee is holding back to
take care of February in case the syn
dicate fails to do business, and this
sum would increase the monthly allow
ance of the aqueduct from $250000 to
$500 000 That would be one point of
advantage. Second it would take care
of the first two or three months after
the syndicate falls down; and, third,
the aforesaid syndicate is much more
likely to cease it's efforts to bulldoze
this city and go on with its purchase of
the bonds if it is satisfied from expert
ence that we are able to take care of
ourselves.
We cannot agree at all with those
councilmen who urge that all discus
sion of this matter is unfortunate and
should be suppressed. The city is les
ing money at the rate of $1,000 a day.
Isn't that a subject citizens may talk
about? Furthermore, there is just
ahead of us-only five months off-a
date on which we may learn that we
are to be turned out to shift for our
selves In regard to the financing of
this great project. 1t is certainly
new theory of popular government that
forbids the discussion of issues so large
and portentous as these.

CAUSES oF HIGH PRICES

Editor Herald: The Indianapolis Sun
seems at loss to know why the cost
of living is so high.
Teddy says keep a big army and
navy, and here is one of the reasons
we pay more for what we eat and
wear If these men were producing in
stead of all the time consuming, 1t
would help some.
Another cause is that foreigners
coming into this country go into towns
and cities and become consumers in
stead of going to the rural districts and
becoming producers.
Again, many farmers sons and
daughters flock to the city where they
enjoy the sports of city life, and there
help eat up the scanty supplies coming
from the farm, instead of staying on
the farm and helping produce some
thing.
Last, but not least, the extravagant
rents paid by city merchants must be
charged up to the consumer along with
the tariff So, taking it all in all, 1
can't see where there is anything so
mystifying about it.

DID 1T ALL PAY?

VT HEN the great strike of cloak
w makers in New York was set
" tied the other day it was SAID
that $4,000 persons were on the verge
Of eviction. The loss of wage earners
was estimated at $10,O0O,O00; that of
the employers at $780, 100000 Seventy
thousand workers have been idle for
nine months and many are reduced
to actual destitution. Now they VIII
go to work to lift the back-breaklng
load of debt incurred in the long
struggle.
Rut their sacrifice has abolished the
sweatshop from New York and by IN
suring sanitary and hygienic condl-
tions has annulled the death warrants
for thousands in the white plague
breeding nests-the unspeakable ten
ements Of the metro polls. This is what
the union was fighting for; this and a
wage on which the workers could i've
decently. And this is what the en-
ployers spent 1OOOOO,OOO in vain fight
not to grant.
It is evident that this enormous loss
must he made up somehow. The cloak
makers must recoup from the pubic
or go bankrupt. That's what they
will do. That, also, is what will hap
nen in the case OF the Illinois coal
strike, just ended, that has cost the
mine owners $2O,OOO,OOO. 1t isn't so
much a mystery why the cost OF living
continues to go up, after all.
Is an industrial system that compels
"a. 900 garment workers to fight to the
verge of starvation for the right to
work in decent surroundings, or $4,000
miners to resist bad conditions and in
adequate pay-is such an Industrial
system the best that can be worked
out by our civilization?

HOW ABOUT TAFT?

Editor Herald: There is no valid
reason for holding Taft guiltless of the
same things for which his cronies are
being nationally condemned. 1t is true
that William Howard is now manifest
ing some interest along the lines
of reconstruction, but we are of the
mind that his conversion to political
virtue is rather of tardy nature,
and of a quality altogether too suspi-
cious for US commoners to "forget
the recent past" The obese president
did not care a rap about being good
until the forces fighting for economic
justice and political decency drove him
into a corner from which he commenced
yelping "They have betrayed my faith
in their integrity" A. B.

this, Warden McClaughrity has de-

have to be approved by the depart
