Is Helping

KNOWINGLY or otherwise. the
Republican press and the United
States Government are helping in the
fight for a lower tariff on beef. 1t is
admitted by the Department that the
supply of beef cattle is dwindling an
ually while the price is advancing
steadily. In other words there is a
shortage of beef in American.
In spite OF this showing and the
further fact hat all classes eat beef,
when they can get it, the cattle kings
have the nerve to ask for protection
against foreign imports.
Within the past few days the beef
men, who have been in Washington.
admit that there could be plenty of
cattle imported if the tariff was
knocked off.
Comparing these two facts that are
made public and are common knowl-
edge, it seems that it is not tariff pro-
lection that the big cattlemen are
asking for. but a government license
II rob the people, by preventing any
kind of competition. 1t is practically
the same with sheep. but not so bad
as the cattle condition. where there
is also an admitted shortage in num-
bers and an increase in price to the
consumer. If all the gall displayed at
tie tariff hearings, the beef man has
certainly carried off the prize.

cracked lips in the Democracy.

To Much Purity

THE people of Los Angeles have
rebelled over a Puritanical state of
city government and have thrown out
the saints they elected two years ago
and have reelected the old board of
City Control. This all came about
as the citizens grew tired of being
blue penciled and treated like a lot of
infants by the people whom they had
elected for good laws and not blue
laws.
The blue law day has passed in
America. There is an individual
right in every case and when that is
trod on someone is going to get the
pay back. Los Angeles has gone
through a strenuous two years of po-
litical reform, OF two years that has
left only a bad taste and no one real
ly put on his better behavior. Mr.,
Whiteman must have some latitude
for a swing around the corner once
IN awhile or know the reason why.
