Ell Paso's ''Redlight" Closed

By a single executive act, the mayor of FL Paso has
actually done what might have been done at any time
these last 35 years by any officer bound by his oath
to enforce the laws of Texas-he has closed the fred
light district, and put an end to the open practice
of prostitution under a sort of protection of the
authorities. Since the beginning Of his administration,
mayor Lea has declined to receive the monthly pay
ments called "fines"-reaIly licenses under a false
name-which in the past have been held to give the
women a sort of immunity from prosecution, and which
have made the whole community, in effect, a partner
in the activities and profits of the "redlight" district.
There is only one thing to be said in favor of the
practices of the past in regulating the district; that
there has been little opportunity for the graft which
has accompanied the regulation of prostitution in almost
every other city. The Ell PasO system, whatever else
NAV be said about it, was at least open and above
board. a matter of record and public knowledge. In
recent years, at least, the ~"redlight" has not been the
source Of public scandal, in the sense of private graft
being exacted by police officers or municipal executives.
The district should have been at least removed
from the heart of the city many, many years ago.
It's existence SO close to the business center has been
verv detrimental to the normal development of the
city. It existed there by favoritism, extended to certain
property owners who were at one time influential
politically. Conditions changed, the men with the
@pulP gradually lost their hold, and there was no
longer any incentive to continue the "~redlight" in its
old location.
The laws of Texas do not permit the establishing g Of
a new reservation" It is prOblematical how the
thing will work out. Certainly the women cannot be
