VOTE THE BONDS

A AN investment, the harbor and
"a power bonds are most promising
- AMI business-like. They will pro-
duce a larger income probably than
any other investment open or offered
at the present time. This income will
enable the city to take care of not
only these particular bonds themselves,
but, the whole water proposition with
out any taxation whatever.
1t is estimated the city should obtain
$50 clear per horsepower per annum
for horsepower developed, and pay in
terest not only on the electrical bonds,
but the aqueduct as well.
As compared with the present price,
500 per horsepower clear is a bagatelle.
The advantages to be derived by Los
Angeles from the sale of the $500, 900
power bonds and SO 900, 900 harbor bonds
should be regarded as a business prop
osition. In a business-like manner. the
citizens of Los Angeles should vote the
power and harbpr bonds, which will
equip the city for commercial. indus
trial and maritime development.
BY voting the bonds, Los Angeles
will make an investment that will con-
tribute greatly to its metropolitan
growth and success.
Chief Engineer Mulholland has said
he believes money realized fdom sale
of the power bonds will preclude the
necessity for voting additional bonds
of that nature. Profits from plants
built with the 50, $780, OOc issue will be
sufficient to establish additional cleo
trical machinery and equipment as the
market for electricity broadens and
growth of industralsm creates de-
mand for more power plants. Ulti-
mately the city will develop the entire
power resources of the aqueduct, which
from the finalCial standpoint offer re-
turns much larger than those derived
from water used for domestic pur-
poses or irrigation.
Los Angeles must not neglect this
great opportunity of improving the
circumstances of our metropolis in a
practical manner in the good results
of which every resident will be a
sharer. Vote the bonds and vote for
prosperity, in the Los Angeles way!

every evening after supper at board
ing house?
Is it proper to stroll after dark?
How late at night should a girl say
to her escort won't you come in a
while tonight?'
1t must be patent to the most casual
thinker on subjects of this sort that
there is a fatal omission in this list of
problems. What will Missouri univer-
sty say on the subject of when, where
and how often fair coed should kiss
solicitous young man? Clearly until
that important matter shall have been
determined by Miss Johnston the rules
and directions on how to behave will
not be complete nor fully satisfy a
craving, which attains almost the dig
nifty of a yearning, for knowledge
which we assume enough to entertain.

A SMALL POPULATION

There was bill before the Oklahoma legis-
lature providing that so per cent of the
voters of any given county must vote in
favor Of school bonds before such bonds
could be issued
Several members had spoken against the
bill when one arose and said: "Mr. Speaker,
this bill would cut my county entirely out
of schools, because there are not that many
people in the county" philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post.

Proposed bond issues were discussed
at the City club yesterday. Represen-
tative citizens explained the necessity
for the bond issues, and representa-
tive citizens who heard the explana-
tions resolved to vote the bonds early
and do all in their power to bring out
a big vote. Genuine bond enthusiasm
assures the success of the issue.
