PASADENA COUNCIL
TO CALL BOND VOTE
II the Two Propositions Carry Paper
Valued at $1,2Oo,ooo Will Be
FIoated In Crown
City

PASADENA, Dec 31.-The city coun-
ell at a special meeting this morning
heard for the first time the ordinance
calling a water bond election for jan
uary 26, outlining the bonds to be voted,
and decided to issue bonds bearing 4 per
cent interest. Dillon & Hubbard, New
York bond experts, in response to a
telegram, informed the council that it
probably would be impossible to dispose
of a 4 per cent bond. B. H May, presi-
dent of the First National bank, took
the same view.
Two propositions will be placed on
the ballot. One provides for the pur-
chase of all the water plants at a total
cost of 81 900, 900, and the other to spend
100000 for improvements. If both
carry, bonds to the amount of $1,200,QG0
will be f1oated in one issue. There will
be 800 bonds at $1,000 and 800 at $500
If only the first proposition carries, 400
bonds will be issued, 600 of $1,000 each
and 800 at $500 each.

MAYOR AND CITY
COUNCIL AT OUTS
INDICATIONS POINT TO STRUG-
GLE BETWEEN TWO
In Case Appointments Are Not Ape

Permitted to Hold
Over
Especial to The Herald. ]

LONG BEACH, Dec. 31.-Indications
point to a struggle between Mayor
Windham and the majority in the
council when the naming of members
of the new commissions comes up next
week. At an informal meeting last
night it was learned that the mayor
and councilmen do not agree and that
if the mayors appointments are
turned down he will not make others
and the incumbents will hold over.
This would be unsatisfactory to the
Independent councilmanic majority, as
the incumbents are Charterites.
The mayor seems to regard A. c.
Walker as a good man for the board
of works and A. c. CRUDE as material
for the police commission. On some
grounds, it is claimed, these men are
not acceptable to the council. The
council can dictate the appointment of
a police chief, according to the char
ter. George Neece, Harry Wilson, Pa
trolman Brown and Detective O'Rourke
are mentioned in this connection.

SANATORIUM PLAN
NOT TO BE URGED
Especial to The Herald. ]

MONROVIA, Dec. 31.-Much satisfac-
ton has been expressed by Monrovia
property owners over the announce
ment that the persons who petitioned
the council for permission to erect a
sanatorium for tuberculars on Dia-
mond Flats will not build even though
the petition be granted.
So much opposition was manifested
that it was not thought advisable to
build in the city limits. It has been
stated that the parties back of the
project will endeavor to find a suitable
site for the proposed building at Sierra
Madre Fully seventy-fve per cent of
Monrovia property owners are opposed
to the erection of a second sanatorium
in the foothill city, and it is doubtful
whether the city council would have
granted permission.

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

HE delegates to the Republican State con-
n venton should consider seriously the incor-
poration of declaration in the platform favorng
the amendment TO the constitution granting the
government power to levy income tax should
such tax at any time be deemed necessary
IL should be remembered that the income tax
amendment is administration measure support
cd by the president The ratification of rue amend
ment would not mean that an income tax would
be levied. Far from it, but it would place in the
hands of the government authority TO levy such a
tax II was always supposed that the government
had such power until the Supreme Court, to the
surprise Of most persons. declared differently. That
decision was rendered by majority of one vote
Of the judges and that judge reversed his former
opinion.
In cases OF great emergencies as during wars, the
government can call upon men to enter the army
for national defense, but il cannot by means of an
income tax call upon me wealth of the country.
The income tax TO us seems much farer than the
corporation tax levied by the last Congress, for
the corporation tax is discriminating and imposed
only upon certain classes OF business. 1t does not
touch great wealth unless it is employed in cer-
tain lines.
The State convention, il it spoke for the income
tax amendment, would be following the declara-
tons Of the Ohio convention
There is no valid reason why the convention
should not support the income tax amendment.
Surely the government in times of distress should
not be barred from levying tax similar to that
collected during the civil war.

DIR. LAYTON ON DECK.

w HAD been wondering what had become
w Of our old friend, DR.. Caleb Rodney Lay
ton. He has been in political obscurity for some
time place distasteful TO one who loves to play
the political game as well as he. The doctor came
10 life the other night at Georgetown and made
trfing noise just TO let us know that he is still
with us
1t would not be a Republican State convention
Of the right kind unless the doctor we're there
with few bricks concealed, ready to throw on the
slightest provocation. He enjoys it, and his aim
is often good. The doctor furnishes recreation
for the blase delegates. We don't understand what
his grievance is at this time, but that makes no
difference The doctor doesn't enjoy placid politics
According to the dispatches, the doctor is head
ing an "insurgent' movement. One story says
that his Georgetown delegation will be opposed to
Cannonism and the stand-patters. Well there are
many Others who are opposed 10 Cannonsm, but
they might feel that they in strange company
If they found themselves pulling the oars in the
same boat with DR.. Layton. We do not imagine
that any insurgent movement with which he may
be connected is similar TO the progressive move
ment in the west, and there should be no confound-
ing of the two.
If, however, the doctor is really for progressive
ideas he can exercise his undoubted abilities to-
wards securing staunch and strong platform at
the State convention. His help would be welcomed
and he would be on the winning side we be-
lievc, for VIC think that the platform Of the State
convention will contain many planks which will
commend themselves TO those who are in favor of
progress and who do not wish to stand still

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION.

HE subject of the regulation of public utilities
- is certain 10 become a pertinent one before
many days. No state or city can escape it, Re
cent events IN Wilmington show the necessity for
such Commission which shall have supervision
over our public service utilities. We do not mean
a commission such would harass or badger the
public service corporations, but commission that
would give both the public and the corporations
n fair deal.
There has been a merger of large interests in
Wilmington, combination of the companies that
have been supplying electric light and power
This has been followed by rumors of deal
between the Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction
Company and the Peoples line Ii was reported
that the Wilmington and Philadelphia Company
was working for an agreement beneficial perhaps
to both companies, and that the company was
prepared to buy the Peoples Company On top
Of this was the answer that the Peoples line vas
prepared TO buy out the Wilmington and Philadel-
phia Company. These rumors arc straws showing
which way the wind is blowing. They are sigui-
hcant
The Journal thinks that these two companies will
eventually combine and then there will be no
competition OF suspicion of competition. 1t is for
such an event that the public ought to be pre-
pared and the only possible way in which they
can be ready is by means of Public Service Com
mission
The Republican party of Delaware will have TO
face this question of regulating monopolies. If
the subject of public service commission we're
put ~ lClSlSnuum vote OF lnc people, there
IS no doubt that the verdict would be overwhelnl-
ing for a commission No reasonable argument
can be made against such commission when the
matter is fully understood. The only opponents
OF commission must necessarily be those allied
with the public service corporations or influenced
directly or indirectly by them.
We think the commission would be good thing
for the corporations themselves and we cannot un-
derstand why they should object In fact we do
not believe there is serious objection. AtRny rate
the interests of the public the merchants, espec-
tally those who are in any way dependant upon
our public service utilities, demand such com
mission and unless the Republican State Conven-
ton SO declares II will have neglected oppor-
tunity to place itself conspicuously on record as
savoring the modern and enlightened wa of solv-
ing the problems Of dealing with monopolistic
scfPorstions

Pedestrians and Autos.

MllIOru chronicle.
There is a duty which pedestrians
and vehicles owe to automobile driv-
ers, and that is, that they use due
diligence to prevent accidents. II
is frequently the case that boys or
even grown people will stand In the
middle of teh road in front of APP
preaching automobiles, until they are
compelled TO stop entirely. before the
Offenders Will attempt 10 leave the
roadway. This Is a source for dam
gerous accidents TO life or limb, and
a penalty should be imposed on all
who practice this. Again many driv-
ers of teams make no attempt to per-
init automobiles to get by them even
where the roadway is wide and sufii-
Gent for both vehicles. We hope no
accident Will occur to emphasize the
necessity of care on the part Of the
public, as we'll as on the part OF au-
tomobile drivers. There is no driver
of a machine but what breads an ac-
cident, even to dog, because of the
pain and suffering It entails TO man
or beast, and the monetary, iossFin-
volved. and these drivers constantly
take chances TO save accidents of, this
character, which jeopardize their own
and passengers safety. Just keep the
fact in mind, that carefulness is an
important factor for the public to OBJ
serve, as we'll as for the driver Of au-
tomobiles.

A Presidents Tribute to the
Memory Of His Wife
BY "HOIIand."

When Chester A. Arthur became
President of the United States his
first official residence was in the
Washington house of Senator John p.
Jones. Of Nevada. This was due to
the fact that the White House had 70
undergo a long period of renovation
following President Garfields removal
thence TO the seashore. and il was
not until late in the autumn of 1881
that General Arthur was able to take
up his residence in the Nations home
for its Presidents. In the meantime
he was provided with a suitable roof
through the thoughtfulness and hos
pitality Of Senator Jones.
Il know that It was with no feeling
Of pride or exultation that Chester

Howard Carroll, a former member Of

He was bowed down with regret over
the Garfield tragedy, for one thing;
and then, Notwithstanding his politi-

little daughter was away at school,
his son was at college. and his Wife
had been dead several years when
he was elected vice7president
General Arthur and his wife had
been much attached 10 each othe~
their domestic relations were ideal.
Mrs. Arthur was a beautiful woman OF
many accomplishments. and she and
her husband had many tastes in COM
mon. Both were fond of music; Mrs.
Arthur had very charming and high
" cultivated voice. which, had she
chosen a professional career for her
self. probably would have brought
her considerable fame. And both were
very fond Of literature Although the
public did not know it. President
Arthur was Of the scholarly attain
