Los Angeles May Rank
Fifth in Cities of u. s

From the Pasadena Star-News.
Inc favor1te paStime with fast
growing. ambitious cities nowadays is
70 make their 1890 census in advance.
Los Angeles, the phenomenal city Of
the whole United States in its class,
confidently is claiming that It win 20
into the year 1880 with q population
around 1.470.000. This estimate Is
made by the Newspaper Feature Blu
reau. The estimate is virtually the
same as that made by the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce.
The Newspaper Feature Bureau says
that the most amazing record OF
growth Is that Of Los Angeles"
BY the estimates made, Los Angeles
WI! rank nth among the cities of the
United states in population. Detroit,
while not growing so fast as Los
Angeles, yet had the advantage in 1920
Of exceeding Los Angeles in popula-
ton, hence is expected to hold It's lead
by the 1880 census. Otherwise the
metropolis Of the West would have
ranked fourth In population.
Besides its phenomenal growth In
population, Los Angeles has the distinc-
ton Of being the largest city In the
world, territorially.
Among its smaller cities California
may carry on national honorS in per-
centage Of population gain during the
last decennial period: The State, as q
whole, should rank high. too. In per-
centage Of gain Of population, as COM
pared with the census Of 1920.
Population growth here in Southern
California Is substantial and well sus-
tanned. It Is not mere epheneral In
crease in population. The inhabitants
Of these cities-large and small-are
here to abide. for the most part.

Effect of Gasoline Tax
Cited as Fair Road Plan
From the Schenectady Gazette.

FtOn1 the schenectady Gazette.
Where q year ago the question OF n
gasoline tax in this State was bein1
f1ercely debated by friend and Zoe.
today practically every automobilist has
come 10 acquiesce cheerfully In this
,mioney-raising venture. And something
IKE $l5,OOO,000, or about $4,000. 600 =
month, has been produced Tor neces-
sary highway work.
It Is difficult to visualize a tax thar
is more fair in its operation than this
one. Good roads are provided prl-
mar1ly for omobilists-for pleasures
ana business cars. The wear comes
The person who drives much
whether on pleasure or busineSs--does
more TO destroy these improved hirn-
ways than the non-driver. or the one
who drives little. And the greater user
naturally burns more gasoline, when
adds to his tax.
Those who use cars only for week
END trips wear out the roads IN q
lesser degree. And their tax 10 LIGHTER.
Again, and this Is one Of the most
enectve arguments used In favor Of
tne levy, only by a gasoline tax can
automoonlstS from out Of the State be
compelled to pay anything toward the
upkeep Of our highways. we, the New
Workers, must pay in every other COM
monwealth, and 1t Is only fair that
non-restdents of this State should
make a reasonable contribution TO the
maintenance of our roads,
The gasoline tax is one Of many
illustrations Of the fact that bitterly
opposed projects, once under way often
win general approval when their op-
eration has been given trial.

years wiz have elapsed from the date
Of this estimate to the enumeration Of
the fifteenth census, something like
2,so0,oOo wiz by July l, 1880, be
added to the 11s. s0o,o 900 Of the bureaus
estimate, giving 9 total population Of
somewhat over 122,000,000.
II this figure should be attained
and there is no reason to doubt-the
density of population per square mile
in the United States would work out at
about forty, leaving q wide margin Of
safety as for the entire National area.
There still will remain q material diff
ference between American density and
that Of England, which is something
over seven hundred. or Japan, which
is nearly four hundred, or France,
which is close to two hundred, or Ger
many, which is something over three
hundred.

spending q good deal Of time on the
Pacific Coast In an effort to bring the
three States together. It was while
Wild BIZ was on that mission Of con-
Citation that Herbert Hoover was nomi-
mated for the presidency. A little later,
was writing his speech Of acceptance,
Donovan was much in the Republican
nominees company. Out Of that Mid
summer companionship arose the cir
cumstantial stories that the soldier

the Hoover cabinet.

but there is nothing so convincing as q
promotion in rank"
X
"The career of Comdr. Byrd" as ap-
praised by the Indianapolis News, has
been marked by exploits that place him
among the great modern explorers. His
bent for challenging the unknown, or
relatively unknown, A In geography Is
equaled by his enthusiasm for scien-
ttfic research. = He Is the able
leader Of magnificent venture, and
appreciation Is due the fourScore men
who have co-operated so whole
heartedly in a hazardous undertaking."
As to his recognition of that obliEa-
uon, the Utica Observer Dispatch com.
ments: we don't believe. that the be-
stowal Of this high title win greatly
aftect Comdr. Byrd. It viii not pun
him up in his own estimation. In dis
patches and reports which Byrd has
sent out Of the frozen South he has
never magnifled his own part In the
venture. The men who are with him
are ever given full measure Of praise"
Disabled by broken ankle In 1916"
recalls the San Antonio Express, Byrd
was retired as a lieutenant commander
That year. When the United States
entered the Great War he was as
signed to active service with the NAVY
Bureau OF Aeronautics. When the
struggle ended he was commanding
naval air forces based on Canadian
ports. He then began to prepare for
that conquest of the polar regions
which he brilliantly has achieved. The
Detroit Free Press declares that "hiS
North Pole and transatlantic flights
were marvellous exhibitions of skill and
courage" but that they were only prel-
udes to the amazing feat of the com.
mander on the South Polar continent"

No Laughing Matter.

Some persons professed to find matter
for amusement in the recent four-page
decision handed down by Controller
General McCarl In relation to an eleven
cent payment.
The amount at issue had nothing to
do with the case. The law aims to be
just, and justice functions, theoretically,
at least, irrespective Of size.
The sanctity of the law has come to
be a laughing matter with great many
in recent yearsSuntil belief has arisen
that criminal forces have made use of
modern methods to tend to bring the
law into disrepute.
Those charged by the United States
Government with judgments in relation
TO money payments have . peculiarly
difficult task, since the pocket nerve Il
very easily stung.

Senator'S and Foreign Service.


President Hoover's selection Of twt
United States Senators to I'LL diplo,
matte posts Of the highest importanc,
Is new wrinkle In foreign servicc
styles. Not that members Of the Sen.
ate have not in the past been sent t.
foreign capitals to represent the United
States. But when two such ambassa.
dorial posts as those in Paris and Der.
lin are filled closely together with
Senators the policy becomes decidedly
interesting. The President has select
ed Senator Frederic M. Sackett of Ken
lucky, a stanch Republican, to be AM
bassador to Germany Walter e. Edge
until recently a member of the Senate
is already Ambassador in Paris. Both
appointments have been well received
and give to this country able and well
qualified representation in European
capitals.
Members of the Senate have much
to do with the foreign relations Of the
country. The Senate, under the Con-
-stitution, must pass upon and ratify or
reject every treaty and agreement en-
tered into by this Government and the
governments of other nations. Ambas-
sador Edge was q member Of the impor-
tant foreign relations committee of the
Senate at the time he was selected to
go to Paris. Both he and Senator
Sackett are familiar with the problems
Of international relations rs they af-
feet this country.
In London today the United States
is represented, not by a Senator, it is
true, but by the man who presided over
the Senate for four years, Ambassador
Charles G. Dawes. Frank B. Kellogg,
former Secretary Of State, was Anbas-
sador at the Court Of st. James before
he headed the State Department, and
prior to that he was Senator from
Minnesota.
Several Of the Senators who have
gone to important diplomatic posts in
the past have been appointed after
they have failed to be reelected to the
Senate. It Is something new to take
a sitting Senator who has not yet come
before his constituents for reelection
and send him abroad.
The American diplomatic corps Is
about to yield one Of its most dis
tinguished members to the Senate
Dwight w. Morrow of New Jersey, at
present Ambassador TO Mexico. Mr..
Morrow has already accepted appoint
ment to the Senate to fill the Edge
seat-temporarily held by Senator
David Baird, jr.-and will enter the
Senate after he shall have completed
his task aS q member Of the American
to the London Naval Con-
ference and wound up certain affairs
In Mexico. Further, Mr.. Morrow has
agreed to make the race next year for
election to the Senate.
If reports from Kentucky be true, the
governor there will I'LL the
Sackett vacancy in the Senate with
Representative Robson. Mr.. Robson
has been long a prominent Republican
leader In the Blue Grass State. It
may be expected, II he Is appointed to
the Senate, that he will be a candidate
for the Republican senatorial nomina-
ton and for election to the Senate
next year. Mr.. Robsion played an i'm
portant part in the campaign in 1928
when President Hoover carried Ken
lucky by q large majority. He Is a
forceful campaigner.

SOthern's Indictment
Of Stage Hits Public

From the Providence Journal.
Mr.. Sothern's indictment Of American
theaters and their plays is news, but
the conditions which he indicts are
to the readers of theatrical advertise
mentS superfcially he Is indicting the
theaterS. Actually, he is doing what
Burke said could not be done, indicting
nation, for any nation, certainly one
possessed Of wealth, can have the type
OF entertainment or any other service
that it wishes.
No doubt q large majority of the
American people are sufficiently salts
ned with what they see. and hear on
the stage not to complain. What we
trust is a small minority actually
clamors for more and worse. The box
office meanwhile in many or most Of
our theaters treats the matter as a
business one. But what Matthew
Arnold said when America had only half
its present population and nothing like
half its present wealth Is truer today
than it was then, that America has the
cultural advantage of being so large
that its population will always afford q
sufncient remnant to support the best
things. There Is unquestionably this
remnant IN America, one large enough
to be the population of q stable
country. II this remnant does not
unite and provide the type Of entertain
ment that 1t processes to prefer, the
type that Mr.. Sothern described, but
continues to patronize the type that it
reprobates, 1t is either hypocritical or
incredibly unenterprising.
naturally thinks of New York But the
situation In New York is complicated by
the fact that the city has all the time q
population largely composed Of pleasure
seeking visitors who are enough to MI
all its existing theaterS. Many q smaller
city, on the other hand, whose home
problems are not thus complicated,
should have enough inhabitants Of the
type that processes to share Mr..
Sothern'S ideals who are at the same
time with SUFFICIENT resources to sup
port q theater such as he Champions
America has enough people possessed
Of enough wealth to support anluse-
mentS Of the highest type in every
section Of the country. The blame Is
not with the present theaterS or their
producers. It Is with the public itself.
Mr.. Sothern's shot was aimed In the
wrong direction. If public music hall
songs, as he said, have all but driven
high-claSS drama off the stage, his
mark should be those whose natural
gifts and training have fitted them to
appreciate high-class drama but who
nevertheless allow themselves to be
amused by the cheap and the worse
than cheap instead Of insisting upon
plays which they can see with intel
lectual and moral self-reSpect. The
experience Of high-claSS producers who
have attempted to give what they sup.
posed the cultured minority would
patron1ze has not been fattering either
TO the hopes Of the producers or to the
loyalty of the minority. Let these be-
stir themselves and demand what their
own standards Of taste tell them they
ought to have, or else accept the full
force Of Mr.. Sothern's indictment.

The Vanishing Pioneer.

The pioneering spirit, so important q
factor in the growth of the British
Empire during the past two centuries,
seems to have fallen TO a low ebb In
England.
The reasons for the reluctance Of the
unemployed to emigrate to the Domin-
Ions recently were discussed In The
House Of Commons. England has more
men and women than Jobs. This
condition has continued since the war,
with its disturbing effects on the old
economic balance Of the world. A
lower standard Of living seems inevitable
II the condition continues for many
years.
The government offers attractive In
ducements for those who will settle in
Canada, Australia and New Zealand,
which are in need Of larger populations
to utilize their vast tracts Of untitled
land. At the same time the unemploy-
ment dole" Is In effect in England,
so that it is not absolutely necessary
to work in order to live.
Inc JopleSS, II was pointed out in
the Commons debate, prefer to live
precariously on the dole" amid the
comforts of the mother country than
to undergo the hardshipS attendant on
carving out new agricultural empires
and new civilizations. They prefer
soup in London, with its paved streets
and lights, to beefsteak on the Cana
dian prairie with its storms and
loneliness.
Probably there are reasons for this
condition more fundamental than the
dole" or any other temporary expedi-
ent. The industrial age has brought
about q more specialized type, requir-
ing a more delicate adjustment to its
environment. It has gone far toward
producing a society every member OF
which is specialist, contributing his
bit to the functioning Of the social unit
and altogether dependent on the con.
tributions Of others. It has not pro.
duced the self-reiiant man, capable O.
existing without the services Of others
In a sense this is the penalty of &
more intricate civilization. The more
involved this civilization becomes thu
more helpless is the individual as tn
race proceeds toward the automatic be-
hayior Of the ant hill or bee hive. J
