SAYS FAVORED CORPORATIONS
MAINTAINING PLAGUE SPOTS

Editor Herald: I wonder what is the
mortality rate-the infant mortali-
ty rate especially-in the district be-
tween Also and Macy streets
in this city! 1t must surely
be something fearful as COM
pared with the rest of the city. This
district holds quite large residential
population, if people who inhabit Its
grimy streets and breathe its smoky
and soot-laden air can be said to re
side.' l have to walk occasionally
through it's murky purlieus, always
emerging in a state that calls for dras-
tic ablutions and radical changes of
raiment What then must it be to the
natives. [ passed through one even
ing lately. The population was sitting
on it's numerous stoops and porches
taking the air-and all that the air con-
tains of smoke and coal dust. SCOT and
carbon powder covers the streets
inches deep in parts, 1t lies on every
ledge and door sill, on every step and
window ledge, 1 should imagine the
babies there must die of miners
phthisis, to say nothing of what hap
pens to the adult population.
These conditions are due in part to
the coal dust constantly being spread,
literally in tons, through the streets
from the bricquet yard of the T. A.
Gas company, and partly by the smoke
from the same corporations gas works
Now two questions: If a corpora
tion, in pursuit of private profit, is
permitted to pollute a whole district
with grimy dust, should not said
company at least be forced to clean
the streets periodically? And again,
how is it that such a concern as a
gas company is not compelled by law
t employ smoke consumi~~ devises?

QUESTIONS AMOUNT TO BE
SAVED BY RATE REDUCTION

Editor Herald: The Los Angeles gas
and electric corporation in its June 16
circular to it's patrons say: "And final
ly, would the small amount saved
through the proposed reduction" etc.
Well! Well! If it is a small amount
why do they make such a thunderous
howl about it?
The presumption of the electric COM
panies upon the simple mindedness of
their patrons seems unlimited, neither
do they appear conscious of the tyranny
and audacity of the procedure in ad-
dressing a threatening appeal to the
spirited and independent American cit
izen of today. We await with keen i'm
patience, for the dawn of June 80 to
vote a declaration of free will that
we have always exercised in beloved
America-not an humble expression of
dependency upon corporation power
and tsaric despotism.

Los Angeles, June 90
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-01

The internal peace of Mexico
strengthens with the strength and
weakens with the weakness of Porfirio
Diaz.
When the president is vigorous of
body and alert of mind the country is
peaceable and busy.
The moment he is reported ill turbu-
lent spirits come out of their hiding
places all over the land and proceed to
make trouble and to cause alarm for
the future.
President Diaz is an octogenarian.
He has lived far beyond the scriptural
limit of age. In the nature of things
he will soon cease to be a compelling
force in the state.
What then?
That there will be a revolution after
he is dead nobody who knows Mexico
doubts. And nobody is sure that there
is any man strong enough in a politi-
cal and military way to control the
situation.
Even now the prevalent belief that
President Diaz has a feebler grip is
causing a revolutionary ferment along
the Rio Grande. Only for the rurales,
the presidents personal conort, his
imperial guard, things would be worse

SAYS THE NEW CITY HALL
MIGHT ALSO HOUSE LIBRARY

Editor Herald: The S42, 900 odd which
the city pays every year for rent OF
office 1t not. is seems to me. the whole
story. The $4,000 and more that we
pay for library rent should be taken
into account. For surely the capacity
of the colossal structure projected for
the city hall would be ample to house
the public library also, and so save the
enormous sum now paid for rent in
that department. j. d. MOTT.

entitled to good service. I would like
some electric light official to come out
to my house and inspect the row of red
strings that 1 am paying for and tell
me honestly IL he thinks / am getting
service. The kilowatt hours run on
just the same but the voltage is not
there, consequently 1 do not get the
light. 1t seems to me the power COM
panies have the remedy in their own
hands for the lower rate and have been
using 1t very effectively. All they need
to do is to drop the voltage a little
lower and the meter will keep on run
ming and We'll get no light at all, and
this seems to have been the direction
we have been drifting in for some time.
If customers furnished their own
lamps and the lighting companies were
obliged to furnish proper voltage the
electric light bills would be small as
compared to the present time.
