A Campaign of Lies
Against Southern California

m HE reports also fail to point out that
L Los Angeles Harbor now handles
more tonnage than San Francisco Port
land Seattle and Tacoma combined; that
Los Angeles county is now assessed at
about four times as much as the entire State
of Florida; that in 20 years the value of
Los Angeles manufacturing has increased
1000 per cent; that Los Angeles is the
worlds greatest oil center; the nations
second largest canned-fish packer; producer
Of 85 per cent of the worlds motion pic
turcs; and that during the year Los Ange
les building activities exceeded every
American city except New York and Chica
go.
n o meet this situation, the Los Angeles
l. Times, acting in cooperation with
public-spirited citizens and business firms,
has especially designed its Annual Mid
winter Number, to be issued on January l,
1925. 1t will consist of seven beautiful
magazines, packed with authentic facts, an
alytical articles, and Photographic repro
ductionS 1t will refute these false reports
by setting forth the whole wonderful story
of Southern California; its resources, adj
vantages attractions and opportunities.
Every one working or living in Southern
California should send copies to Eastern
friends and relatives.

u EW local people realize the extent to
l. which Los Angeles and surrounding
cities have been maligned during the past
year by newspapers throughout the United
States. Alarmed at the flow Of wealth
and population to Southern California
these newspapers have published one SEN
sational article after another, intended to
frighten their readers from leaving home
Southern California, according to these
hair-raising reports, has been killed off
with plague and smallpox, burnt up with
forest fires dried out with drought, blown
to pieces by cyclones, eaten alive by destruc-
tive pests, starved out with crop failure
T T has been asserted that inhabitants Of
Southern California are prohibited by
law from taking baths due to water short
age; that 10000 unemployed are fed at
soup Kitchens that homes are lighted by
candles, on account of lack Of electricity;
that Southern California has no natural re-
sources and never can have any.
Nothing is mentioned about the fact that
during 1924 the increase in Los Angeles
population required over 10000 additional
water connections; that during the year
Los Angeles people increased their say
ings deposits by $57,000000; and that
approximately one-fourth of the output OF
all fresh fruits and vegetables in the United
States will be produced in California

agement or operation, as everything,
under the federal law. Is a matter of
public record.
Constructive criticism Is always
beneficial. and this Is invited: on the
other hand. criticism with no founaa
ton In fact Is extremely harmful. BY
cooperation on fair and broad lines
between the railroads and the public
(and by the public" mean the press
and all other. interests), we can, in
my opinion, bring about a better sit :
uation in connection with the rail-
roads,
In closing. ladies and gentlemen,
may l say. honestly and sincerely,
that I believe there is no greater
power in all Maine, or one welded
with higher purpose, than the power
of the press? Many of you 1 have
not had the pleasure Of meeting per-
son3lly. and yet I feel that I know
you all. There Is in my Office a clerk
whose chief duty Is to clip, from
every daily and weekly newspaper in
the State. all stories and suggestions
relating to the Maine Central Rail-
road: and in no better way can I
keep abreast OF civic progress or
learn the peoples will.
Tonight have handled a big and
vital subject very brifiy and simply.
There IL more that might be said
but the subject Is long and my time
ID snort. | only hope that these few
words may help US to a better un-
derstandfng-to a more faithful and
unselfsh. service toward the STATE
that we all love.

an ever increasing share of the net
revenue frem railway operations
The excise tax law of the State OF
Maine. as 1t stands lat present, Is
excessive and inequitable and, bears
no relation to the value Of the rail.
road property or franchise or to its
taxable ability. For instance, this
law has so operated as to more than
double the taxes of the Maine Cen.
trail in period Of five years, although
during the same period its dividends
disappeared and the value Of its
franchise and securities and its tax
able capacity diminished. A railroad
cannot be used for any other purpose
and its value. therefore, principally
depends upon the earnings which re-
suit from its operation. The present
law should accordingly be revised so
that the tax assessment would take
Into consideration the result Of the
years operations and the ability OF
the railroads to pay. l have to sug-
gest tax law for this state that will
take into account this condition and
will provide a reasonable minimum
percentage to be applied to the gross
operating revenues assigned to the
operations within the state, regard
less OF financial results for the year,
with a provision that this percentage
be increased as the ratio Of net rail-
way operating income to the total
operating revenues for the year IN
creases. This law would ensure to
the state reasonable amount from
railroad taxation. and the taxes OF
the railroads would automatically in
crease from year to year az and when
net income of the railroads, and con-
sequently their ability to pay, in
creases. 1t Is the purpose Of this
Company to present this matter to
the legislature Of 1928 for considera-
ton, with the hope that some need
ed relief will be granted. and the
support Of your Association in this
matter IL earnestly solicited.
You. the members OF the Maine
Press Association. can be helpful by
educating the public to the fact that
the railroads and other public utili.
ties must be supported In order that
they may give first-class service to
the public and also q reasonable re-
turn to the owners Of the properly.
There u NO longer any reason for
the public to be alarmed by the
thought that. there win be anything

Composition Of Motor Vehicles
I have pufposely kept away from
comparisons as to the conditions
brought about by use of gas-propel-
led vehicles, and while 1t is true our
passenger revenues have seriously
suffered. and our freight revenues to
some extent, from this competition,
it is my personal opinion that this
mode of transportation has come to
stay and will doubtless be improved
in the future. and as to this we offer
no objections, provided that our tax
burdens are reduced instead of be-
ing further increased.
