gives most hearty assent. Not for
way commission will build the road
that will serve the people best, and
that means the San Diego road. But
this paper hopes to see the other
road built too 1t will be built if
Los Angeles goes at it in the spirit
in which San Diego is working and
is willing to spend money as well as
talk. The San Diego Tribune says:
The plan proposed by e. F. Howe,
editor of the Imperial Valley Press,
for a 500-mile circuit highway through
imperial valley from Los Angeles to
San Diego is unobjectionable from
any point OF view except, possibly,
that of the state highway commission,
This commission has already eliminat-
ed the cost of bridges and rights of
way from the expense of all roads to
be authorized; and it is not likely
that they will consent to~incur equal
cost i'll the construction of roads
through a desert region which even
a railroad corporation pronounced
impracticable for this purpose.
1t is San Diego's contention that
unless it is the purpose of the COM
mission to build both roads, the pre-
ference ought 10 be given to the one
that is the most practicable and eco
nomical, which is the San Diego to
Yuma road. II is true that Los Ang
Cles and San Diego are striving for
the automobile traffic of the national
highway. 1t is also true that if the
road is built from Yuma to Los Ang-
eles through the Imperial valley, San
Diego will be compelled to build at
its own expense a road to intercept
this traffic. Neither Los Angeles nor
San Diego desires to spend this money
if the highway commission can be in
duced TO construct the road. 1t is
only question which road the COM
mission will favor If, as Editor Howe
suggests, both roads can be construct
ed. so much the better. San Diego
will not object; and Editor Howe says
that as far as Imperial is concerned,
that county profits in either event. 1t
is Los Angeles that is trying to be
the dog in the manger-and from the
Los Angeles standpoint the demand OF
that city is logical, consistent and of
course profitable for Los Angeles.
Both roads will be built eventually.
1t is now a question merely as to how
and by whom they shall be con-
structed.'
