THE REASONS

1t is an oppressive, unreasonable and
unjust interference with the use of pri-
vate property.
It is not necessary for the preserva-
ton of the public peace, health and
safety.
Itslacks uniform operation.
Its restrictions do not exist by virtue
of state laws.
1t denies equal protection by law to
all.
Its restrictions are not imposed upon
other persons.
1t discriminates.
It will deprive the plaintiff of prop
erty without due process of law.
1t will deprive it of property without
compensation.
1t interferes with advertising, which
does not endanger the public.
1t is neither a reasonable nor u neces-
sary regulation of billposting.
1t will deprive the plaintiff of prop
erty obtained before the enactment of
the ordinance.
1t will deprive the plaintiff of the
right to carry on lawful business.
NO DANGER
In addition to the general grounds
on which the injunction was asked, the
plaintiff declared that all of it's bill
boards are devoid of physical danger
to any person, and that great care is
taken not to contract for advertising
which is harmful to morals.
1t also asserted that it has been in
business in Los Angeles for twelve
years and has invested in this city
$5OO,0OO, giving employment to thou
sands of persons who reside here and
spend their wages with Los Angeles
merchants.
1t asserted that it has leases which
run at various periods of time from
one to five years yet, and contracts
with advertisers for similar periods.
Another assertion it made is that all
of it's billboards are standard size and
are made to fit the standard bills,
which are nine feet four inches tall,
and asserted that for it to use boards
of less height would entail a loss of
100000

THIRTEEN REASONS ARE CITED

A temporary injunction preventing
the city authorities from enforcing the
recently enacted billboard ordinance
was issued yesterday by Judge Bord-
well, presiding judge of the superior
court of Los Angeles county, at the re-
quest Of Thomas II. B. Varney, a cor
poration.
This was the result of the filing of a
suit for a restraining order, with a
prayer for immediate though Temporal
ry action until the suit should be heard.
The action is directed particularly to-
ward Mayor Alexander, all the MEM
bers of the city council, Chief of Police
Galloway and City Clerk Lelande.
The ordinance, which is known as No.
20533, and which limits the height of
billboards to six feet, with the bottom
to be two feet from the ground, is at
tackled by the plaintiff in a lengthy
manner, thirteen reasons being offered
for it's being unconstitutional and in
restraint of righteous commercial en-
deavOr." The following assertions are
made:

state-Wida Prohibition.

Since the submission of state
wide prohibition in the next gener-
al election has become an assured
fact, l am directed by the Stare
committee to warn friends of the
movement against making dona-
tiOns to unauthorized parties. The
movement has been brought about
and is being directed by the Goa
stitutional Amendment Associa-
ton. To facilitate the work of the
campaign, this association has az.
pointed State committee of re-
preventative business and profess
sional men from the entire State.
Judge William H. Wallace of Kan
sas City has been placed at the
head of this committee as presi-
dent of the association.
No campaign in the history Of
Missouri has involved such stu
pendous moral and material inter
ests. All the temperance workers
and organizations of the State are
concentrating their energies into
this movement for the redemption
of Missouri. For the protection of
all who are willing to donate the
necessary funds to finance the
great campaign, the State com
mittee has ordered that those who
solicit or collect money for that
purpose must have authority IN
writing signed by Judge Wallace.
Friends are warned against giving
money to persons who fail or re-
fuse to show such authority. Mon
ey given to such persons does not
reach the Constitutional Amend
ment Association and is not being
used to promote statewide pro-
hibition.
Those who wish to make dona-
tions to the campaign fund of the
association should pay to those
who can show proper authority or
should remit directly to the und pr
signed, who will acknowledge all
remittances, and whose accounts
win be carefully audited by a COM
mittee of competent bankers.

1t is serious matter to bring from all
parts of our country as many men and
women as are present at this meeting of
the league. Each one has come here at
considerable cost in time and money.
These meetings will fail of their purpose
unless each individual comes here with a
serious purpose comes not only with the
idea of getting out of each meeting that

but even more important, that whic.l he
can take back and use for the betterment
of his own community.
But to the text | have chosen, TO him
that hath shall be given"
These lines spoken by the Master strike
the keynote for Individual success and
equally SO for racial success
The chief object of the National Busi-
ness league is to teach the Negro the
value of the opportunities that he pos
sesses as well as the value of the oppor-
tunities that are before him. Let US con-
vince the world that we have opportuni-
ties and are conscious of them and more
opportunities will come to us-more open
ings for our growth will appear

the law of life. On the other hand, If the
world becomes convinced that we have no
opportunities, that there is no future be.
fore us. despair and death will follow,
and the opportunities that we have will
disappear The world is interested in the
man who is succeeding. The world is in
terested in a race that is succeeding.

righteousness. Ten millions of people
mean a population larger than the whole
population OF Canada, nearly as large as
that of the republic Of Mexico. We have
as many colored people in the United
States as there are inhabitants In Nor

| repeat that one of the objects of the
National Negro Business league is to en-
phasize among ourselves and before the
world that which we possess in the way
of actual ownership and in opportunity.

Theodore Roosevelt, who addressed
the meeting on the closing day.
DR. Washington's annual address,
which was listened to with marked
attention throughout its delivery, was
in part as follows:
Before uttering a single sentence re-
garding any other subject | wish to ex-
press the deep obligation which the Ma
tional Negro Business league is under to
the Negro press of the United States for
the generous and unfailing interest which
1t has taken in this and in previous meet

for the generous space given to the af-
fairs Of this organization in the form OF
editorials and news items without ques-

impossible for 1t to have attained to its
