disappointment, and somewhat unnec-

for adjournment to be had within the

The Senate has now had the appro-

it serious and mature consideration
and there has been no report on it by

The bill will no doubt show in

the two branches have made provision
for the new science building at Win

~ MISSION OR COMMISSION

~ The Los Angeles Tribune yesterday
morning published this editorial:
Imperial Valley papers complain fire.
quently of the treatment accorded their
region by Los Angeles. The Imperial VAL
ley Press is the latest to call us to ac-
count, which it does with no little bitter
ness for attempting (as it alleges) to pre-
vent the proposed national highway from
passing through that valley. 1t says Los
Angeles captured the good roads conven-
ton and used it against the Imperial
Valley.
This the Press attributes 10 local jeal-
ousy of San Diego. 1t argues that fear
of the southern city is So keen that We
oppose letting the national highway fol-
low the best course. lest the stream of
travel and commerce be diverted toward
the enterprising city below us.
Our critic little knows how we'll dis
posed toward San Diego and the Imperial
= alley this city is. Its imagination, be-
ing given too much play. overlooks the
manifest fact that Los Angeles is too
great and prosperous now to fear any ri
vals, and too sagacious. as that prosper
4ly attcsts, not to know that the de-
velopment of the other cities and towns
means a greater tributary country for us
No other town hereabouts can prosper
without adding to our welfare.
But the Press would have legitimate
kick if it chided this community with in
difference. Our offense toward the I'M
perial Valley is more OF omission than
commission. Los Angeles has not yet fully
grasped the potentialities of the rich
country along the Colorado river 1t is
going to be a valley teeming with mil
lions We ought to be busy cultivating
the social and commercial friendship of
the pioneers there.
The Imperial Valley needs capital and
other help that it is the logical duty of
tagonsm toward us is growing up there
we ought to see that it is changed by a
mutual understanding. Such under
standing apparently does not now exist. -
When we speak of the attitude of Los
Angeles toward this valley, it is we'll to
Los Angeles jobbers have d keener sense
of the Importance of this valley than other
rsidents of that city, and their traffic
manager, Mr. Greggson, has done splen-
did work in bringing facts to the atten-
tion of the jobbers. The First National
Bank of Los Angeles has also shown full
appreciation of the valley. But when
this is said the whole story is told Other
banks have rendered a little assistance in
the development of the valley from time
to time. The Chamber of Commerce
Imperial Valley press., 1911-12-27

threw its influence against the valley for
several years, but of late has rendered a
half-hearted support. Almost the whole
real estate interest of the city is openly
antagonstic to the valley, grossly ignor-
ant of conditions here and not sufficient
ly interested to take the trouble to get
information.
AS for the newspapers, the Tribune and
the Express appear to have the best COM
prehension of the import of this valley to
Los Angeles but take no adequate steps
to present the story of development here
to their readers. The Examiner does not
care whether there is an agricultural ter
ritory with one or two millions of people
tributary to Los Angeles or not. The
Times knows the conditions in the valley,
but is willing to sacrifice the interests of
the valley at any time and to resort to
such eXpedients as it did recently in pub
fishing distorted fake map of the valley,
showing FL Centre and Calexico to be
thirty or forty miles off the railroad.
Generally speaking, the Tribune is
right in saying the chief fault of Los An
geles is in omission, rather than COM
mission. But this is not true as regards
the influence of the real estate interests
nor is it true as regards the good roads
movement.
Il wish we could have done something
for Ell Centre and San Diego said a
leading Phoenix man at the Phoenix con-
vention.
Are we not doing them all the timeE
responded prominent delegate from Los
Angeles.
That is not the spirit of omission, but
and that was what led Los Angeles to
favor an all desert route for the national
highway. rather than route which would
lead through the Imperial, the Evergreen
valley, and San Diego.
If Los Angeles has at last begun to ap-
preciate the Importance of " mutual
understanding between that city and
the valley. it is fortunate for both parties.

jority rule and the goading of personal
ambition
Minister Limantour regards this up
rising as the armed demand of serious
men. There is leader with a pro-
gram of defined reforms. Reforms says
Mexico's great financial minister, are
necessary. A feuda1 system doesn't fit
into the present-day scheme of things
in Mexico any more than in Missouri
Inalienable landed estates, systems of
peonage perpetuation Of poverty by
denial of opportunity and legal uncer-
tainties become intolerable when the
instinct of freedom is aroused.
With a cause born of hostility to
economic archaism, with the men and
the guns. this revolution will endure.
If it is suppressed, another will fol-
low, and another. If Limantour knows
this and the remedy for it. then Diaz
must know it, too. So that, <ith no
government program for reforming
abuses great enough to drive men to
war, the effort to put down the re-
bellion becomes an effort to sustain
tyranny and uphold oppression. II
that is the case sympathy, at least will
be with Madero, the insurrectos and
their cause
