SMITH
~ ON INSURGENCY

Congressman S. C. Smith, who still
represents this district, has written
letter to C. c. Chapman of Fullerton,
candidate on the Taft ticket for dele
gate to the Republican national con-
yention, and the letter has been made
public
Mr. Smith takes the ground that
there is but one essential bond be-
tween the insurgents. that being a de-
sire for low tariff schedule, and ar
CUES that Southern California cannot
afford TO align itself with low tariff
advocates.
Mr.. Smith belongs to the old school
of politics, the school in which Joe
Cannon was head master and in which
the science of log rolling" was rec
ognized as the chief pursuit of man.
He is one of the best of that type
Of politicians, and the people of this
valley have at times profted by the
fact that he was an expert log roller.
But for some reason he has failed
20 grasp the truth, as many other poi
iticians hemmed up in Washington
have grasped it, that the American
people have discarded the old type of
politics and are most insistent in de-
manding that government be conduct
ed on definite lines of justice and a
recognition of human rights rather
than on the basis of pouring the food
uf graft into common trough where
the most greedy would secure the
greater portion.
No sane and truthful man will deny
that the tariff has been used at times
70 maintain a monopoly for predatory
corporations in some lines, and that
in such cases a lower tariff is neces-
sary to reestablish healthy competi-
tion. And at the same time. every
man will admit that there are certain
Industries which must be protected.
The old line politicians individually
took the ground that he would vote
Eur every interest, including the big
corporations. to have all the protection
they wanted. providing the big cor
porations would get him what he
Eanted
The new conception of the tariff, as
supported by the insurgents, is to re-
duce the tariff to a question of JUS
1ice and to apply this test of justice
10 the individual commodities.
Taking oranges for instance, because
they are the chief product used by
Mr.. Smith in his effort to frighten
Southern California Republicans back
into the ranks of the corporation-ruled
wing of the party, it is a plain mat
ter of justice that they should have a
protective tariff about equal TO the
differences in wages between Italy and
California plus the difference in
Treights.
If the case comes up before Reac-
xlOnaries in congress there is no basis
ON which to demand the protective tar
If except to grant the predatory cor
g0rations all they ask in return for
What the orange growers ask, and that
rs buying the favor for too high
grice.
But if the question should come be-
fore q progressive congress, the cit
rus fruit growers will have the
strongest possible argument based on
Ehe recognized principles of fairness.
The difference between the Reac-
x5onaries and Progressives is simply
rhe difference between greed and JUS
zlce, and Southern California can well
afford to rest her future on the latter.

to any Of these men its good money
for their alleged rights?
What right has any corporation
any more than a private individual to
fill in the lake front Of the city and
then demand money from the city
when 1t wants the land for public ben.
efits?
These are some Of the questions
that people are asking each other ev.
cry day.
Mayor Harrison has taken the
proper stand In the matter and has
the full backing Of the public.
Any member Of the Legislature who
votes to give away Chicago's rights In
this matter will be retired to private
life.
Attorney George Packard IL quoted
as saying that because the Attorney
General sat idly by and let sundry
persons grab the north lake front. the
city is now powerless to get Its land
back except by condemnation, or
words to that effect.
Corporation Counsel william H.
Sexton issued a statement In which
he disagreed with the published view
Of Attorney George Packard In refer.
ence to the harbor situation.
II frankly admit that cannot un.
derstand the position Of Mr.. Packard
il he has considered section No. Z OF
the harbor act" said Mr.. Sexton.
How he could make the statements
he ID credited with IL more than I
can see
"Mr. Packard states 40 theory Of
law that made land belongs to the
maker II the state does not stop the
shore owner from making. Now.
do not agree with that. When he
says we are not justified In hesitation,
I wish he would refer to section Z Of
the harbors act"
| The section referred to follows:
III in the construction Of any har'
Dor, wharf, canal. dock, pier, slip,
levee, or other harbor facility or i'm
provements mentioned In this act II
becomes necessary to affect any Of
the rights Of riparian owners alono

property belonging thereto, such city
shall have the right to acquire same
by condemnation, but nothing In thii
act shall give any such city the right
to give compensation to any alleged
