ENEMIES OF THE HORSE

IN view of the aviation Developments here and
| with even the automobile looking askance at
his rival in the air the chances of the horse
continuing to hold his place i'll scheme OF life
seem to be fading. Although the horse always
will be a factor he is disappearing from Our larger
cities Along the lines OF this belief British en-
gineer in the course of a recent address before the
Institution of Mechanical Engineers, made some
interesting prophecies regarding the future OF pub
lie conveyances in London. By 1921, he predicted,
all horse vehicles OF this type will have disap-
peared. The extinction will be gradual, and occur
roughly as follows: First, the horse car III 1917.
the horse omnibus in 1913, the hanson cab in 1914
and the fOur-Wheel horse cab In 1921.
The same process is under way in New York.
Whether the extinction of the horse will be as
rapid as that predicted for London may be doubt
ed but there seems little question that within an
other generation, at the least, the horse will come
TO play a relatively insignificant part in the pas
senoer transportation of most large cities. \ fur
ther cheapening of motor cars would greatly
hasten this change
In the course OF this same London address at
tention is called to the fact that the use OF the
bicycle is still on the increase in Great Britain. 1T
is difficult to realize, said the speaker, the enor-
NOUS increase in the use OF the cycle both for
pleasure and business purposes. For example,
there are II 400 cycles used by the postofce de
partment alone Each one covers a distance Of
about 10000 miles per annum, and the total mile
age since the service was instituted is over 6OO,-
OOOOOO Not a single fatal accident from de-
fective machine has occurred.
About one person in every fifteen OF the entire
population of the kingdom is a cyclist Between
the bicvce the motorcycle and the automobile It
is not surprising that the horse Is having hard
time in Great Britain.

BACK TO THE FARM LESSONS

THE Back to the Farm movement is recelV-
ing an impetus in New York through the
launching of the land show in the Coliseum.
1t is working a great national good III that 1t IS
bringing the attractiveness of the land back to the
people and pointing out the way to a personal in
dependence that is not likely to be obtained by the
city dwccr in crowded flats at eXorbant rentals
when he is only earning low rate OF wage. 1t
promises at least to start outflow from the cities
to the producing farms.
Despite the attacks that have been made
against the claims OF the food trusts that the high
cost of living is brought about because as a nation
we do not produce enough, there Is basis Ot truth
i'll the claim. Take the man in big city who is
hunting work. He finds hundreds OF others after
the same job. All OF them probably have families
and all of them at least have to live. Ih@ one who
gets the job still complains OF the high rent he has
to pay when the truth OF the matter is that he still
is in competition with the nnety-n1ne who dldn
get the job. Their presence in the city initiates the
price OF rents just to that extent The answer Tor
these struggers is in the invitation to come out
where there is elbow room for all and become
producer instead OF a consumer.
The trouble in America is that the land always
has been considered too cheap, and after The eN-
pertinent of trying life in the cities has been made
there is nothing LETT of the earnings to make an
exodus to the west possible,
In that one fact is the great stumbling block
to the movement toward the farms. The initial
expense has been too great and none of the teach
ers of that movement has devised any means to
overcome this difficulty. There is but one instance
and that example is set by the Mormon church.
One authority recently explained the growth of
that body on the grounds that il has its mission
aries all over the east and Europe and instead of
simply offering doctrina belief each convert gets
plot of ground and pig together with mpe-
ments to work out his own fortune and on the cas-
lest of terms.
Here in Southern California there still is room
for countless thousands and if they cannot buy
ground "cose in" there still is plenty farther to-
ward the hills on which there is chance for any
body who wants to work to make himself indie
pendcntly. comfortable. Nature IN this Southland
is the greatest paymastcr the world ever has
known and the out-of-the-Way places OF today are
the thriving centers of tomorrow.

WHAT THE CANAL WILL DO

CTATEMENTS just issued by the bureau OF
y statistics in Washington give an idea of the
- greater flood of business Los Angeles can
reasonably expect after the completion of the Pan
canal These figures are on the traffic across
the Isthmuses OF Panama and Tehuantepec. Five
years ago this traffic amounted to only $8O000O0
Now ii has grown to $50 100000 an increase of
more than ten times. This increase has been due
largely to the opening of the 19O-mile railway
across the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec in connection
with the steamer lines on both the Pacific and At
lantic side.
Such growth of traffic with all the dsad-
vantages of unloading on trains and reloading on
steamers can give some basis for conjecture to
what will happen when ships carry their cargoes
from sea to sea Los Angeles as the first big port
in the Pacific capable of berthing vessels will sure
ly get her share:
OF the traffic already reported S5O0O0000
originated on the east coast and = per cent OF it
went to the Pacific coast The other $32OO0000
originated on the Pacific slope and in Hawaii.
1t also must be remembered that with the canal
open there will be an a-Water route also from
here to the very heart OF the nation by way of the

ENLISTMENT OF THE PEOPLE

Editor Herald: I'VE are enlisted in
the service of the good, bound for the
better, destined for the best" (Hyde.l
The people of America are shoulder
to shoulder to conquer the common
economic problems facing them; to
make wrong right, to displace anxiety
by courage, and hate by love of one
common good.
Strenuous as may be the struggle, it
is not for selfish gain to the few, but
generous and broad in it's work and
aims for the many, and in a battle for
existence, hard enough at the best, for
all.
Legislation which in the final analy-
sis may not be found to be altruistic,
is to be enforced. in order to deter

fects in practice. and for the honest
purpose of repeal if found wanting.
This is progressive administration.

federal legislation can correct, there
are countless others which enactments
cannot reach. the comprehension of
which limitation is progressive nation

The people are enlisted in search

THE ENGRAVERS' STRIKE


I + the facts regarding the strike in the Thorpe
Engraving company's plant correctly
stated in the Times and if the men agreed to
prosecute the work and were called out on strike
by the union it is apparent that this poor policy
kind, under the circumstances they appear to
have existed at the Thorpe plant will not bring
public sympathy to the unions they desire, and
if they hope to win and hold the good will and
sympathy of the Los Angeles public it will be nee
essary to adopt policy that smacks more of fair
ness. Nothing is to be gained by strike that
does not appeal to the public eminently fair,
carefully considered and that appears to be the
direct result OF some injustice the part OF the
employer. The published statements in the case
of the Thorpe strike do not seem to bear out these
requirements. Hence, we repeat, the unions in
Los Angeles especially should use extraordinary
caution and judgment if they hope to gain the
solid public support, without which their cause
never can prevail

EAST WANTS A BURBANK HEN

A eastern exchange suggests that it would
~ be a good idea for Burbank to take a few
weeks off from propogating plants and pro-
ducing miraculous flowers and develop hen that
really would lay eggs.
No doubt the California plant wizard really
would do it if it were not for the fear that he
would be charged with commercialism and seeking
after great wealth. The present price of eggs
might lead to that conclusion. The excuse given
for the local hen is that she is changing her feath
ers, but if she would sign a contract to get down
to really laying eggs she could have an outfit of
real ostrich Plumes and it would be worth the i'll
vestment.
But at the same time we are led to wonder
whether egg laying has become lost art with the
eastern hen. We know that she used to, because
there occasionally is unpleasant proof of the fact
when one discovers one OF the eastern storage va
riety i'll a box that was labeled just the if
it came from California ranch.

SPEAKS FOR BETTER RACE

Editor Herald: There is not any
question of the folly of inquiring into
the health of persons who contemplate
marriage for it's the concern of those
directly interested and is not of gem
eral interest
So saws a writer in The Herald Let
ter Rox recently. 1t seems somewhat
strange in this age of thought and
work for humanity. There is way
in which marriage is or interest 10
those most intimately concerned and
to no one else. but there is also a
broader and deeper way in which it is
or should be the interest of all. Men
