AGED GENERAL WALTzEs
At CITY'S ANNIVERSARY
Foundation of Los Angeles 1923
Years Ago Is Celebrated
at Plaza Church

In the patio of the old Plaza mission
church 500 people assembled last even
ing and witnessed a program in COM
memoration of the one hundred and
twenty-ninth anniversary of the found
ing of Los Angeles and Of the mission.
The patio was decorated with Ameri-
can and Spanish colors, and the happy
little senoritas, fitting around in the
audience, gave the scene a truly Span
ish effect.
The feature of the entertainment
was the dancing of the Ell Jarabe
Tapatille by Gen. Antonio Aguilar
aged 80, who is the only Aztec Indian
in Los Angeles. He also danced an
old-time waltz with Laura Lopez,
aged Is.
When General Aguilar appeared on
the stage in the patio the assemblage
cheered him loud and long. He was
one of the foremost officers in the
Spanish army which campaigned
against Gen. John c. Fremont, the
Pathfinder" when Mexico owned Cali
fornia, three score of years ago. The
old soldier wore the uniform of
Spanish general.
Songs and Spanish dances were rem
dered by the young girls and men OF
the parish, and the entertainment was
brought to a close by sketch, The
Belle of the Reservation" the prin-
cipals being Raymond Jung and Dor
othy Warner.

Features Of Platform.
The platform denounces the Payne
Aldrich tariff as a masterpiece of in
justice and as favoring the monopo-
lies; favors a pension Of dollar day
for union veterans Of the civil war; an
income tax amendment to the federal
constitution; opposes subsidies; de-
nounces injunctions without affording
defendants q hearing; condemns ex-
travagance Of the administration; IA
vors the conservation Of natural re-
sources, and popular election OF sens-
tors, and declares for local self-govern-
ment, especially where it concerns the
liquor traffic.
The Turin Plank.
The tariff plank is: 1--WE denounce
the Payne-Aldrich tariff act as a mas
terpiece of injustice, involving re-
morseless exactions from the many to
enrich the few, through the trusts and
monopolies which it fosters. Tariff
taxation, like other taxation, should
be for public purposes only and not
for private profit, and should be levied
so as not to discriminate against any
section, class, industry, or occupation,
and limited to the actual necessities
OF the government, economically adj
