THE HERALD'S CITY CIRCULATION THE HERALD'S CIRCULATION IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES IS LARGER THAN THAT OF THE "EXAMINER OR THE EXPRESS AND SECOND ONLY TO THAT OF THE TIMES. The Interstate commerce commission has found that the Santa Fe Railway company granted unlawful rebates when Paul Morton, now secretary of the navy, was vice president of the company. What says Paul? The Chinese New Year does not make its advent suddenly as in the case of the year of the Christian era. The Chinese event began yesterday, but it takes ten days for the celestial New Year to get fairly started. Secretary Taft reports that meats for the army in the Philippines have been purchased from Australian dealers the last two years at about half the American prices. Why not give the American people a show in that trustless beef? Southern California is in its most picturesque garb now. The earth is carpeted with luxuriant vegetation In brightest green and the distant mountains are wearing snowy caps. Tha rainfall Is abundant and everybody Is happy. The angry behavior of the ocean off the near-by coast and the peril of certain navigators of tiny craft are reminders that the Pacific ocean is not always as amiable as its name implies. But ordinarily its con duct is above reproach. The latest charge against hypnotism is that it led a man to commit a forgery. The court failed to under stand, however, that the peculiar influence was a valid plea in extenuation, concluding that two years in stato prison might operate as a curative. • As an incident of the zero weather in the east there are many reports from the cities about Injuries to per sons from slipping on icy walks. Imagine a Los An geles housekeeper sprinkling ashes on the sidewalk while striving to maintain the perpendicular. A shameful and disgusting revelation is that of the marriage in the county jai! of a negro woman to one of her race under sentence of life imprisonment for murder. Whoever is officially responsible for tolerating that exhibition should be ousted from the public service. An association of Chicago ministers is posing in court as prosecutor of a woman artist who paints china and has been offering pieces of her work as prizes in euchre parties. Why should such ministers strain at a euchre gnat while they swallow the camel of Chicago gambling iniquity? It is a good suggestion that the school census of Los Angeles for this year be broadened so as to make a complete enumeration of the population. Postmaster Flint is particularly desirous of having such a census because of its bearing on -his allotment of letter carriers, but there are other reasons why it would be desirable. Nevada — even Nevada — shows signs of the sweep of a religious wave over the rocks and ,the sage brush. The snow state supports its public system in part by funds received for licenses to permit gambling. Now a bill is before the legislature which, If passed, "will result in entirely abolishing gambling in the state." Et tv, Ne vada! As the result of a religious revival in Jersey City a railway inspector, in high standing with his employers, confessed that he and six other employes "had for months been systematically robbing freight cars." This disclosure suggests a side field of possibilities as an outcome of the present religious awakening in Los Angeles. Denver offers a plea In mitigation concerning the charges of ballot box stuffing. There was not as much of such Btufflng as has been claimed. The evidence shows that many ballots had never been in the ballot box because there was not room for them. It was not thought necessary to put all the illegal ballots in the boxes when they could be fraudulently counted just as well. ■ :;;- : 4r : .' It is discreditable to Los Angeles that its com mercial bodies should be moved to take the Initiative In such affairs as street cleaning and garbage dispo sition. The need for such action is obvious, but while It shows a willingness on the part of these progressive .organizations to lend a hand wherever help seems to be needed, the fact Is a severe reflection upon the city government. ',V. The baking powder agitation which raised more things than bread in Missouri ia likely to break out in California. A bill is before the legislature aiming to "prohibit the use of unhealthy (sic) chemicals or substances In the preparation of any article used in the preparation of food for human beings." The bill appears to be commendable," but it is intimated that a repetition of the Missouri baking powder ruction will result if it passes. Chicago reports the discovery by a local astronomer of a spot on the surface of the sun with a diameter of 80,000 miles. That is considerable of a gpot, as con sidered from the mundane standpoint, as the diameter •stated la more than ten times that of the earth. But suspicion attaches to the discovery because, as re ported, "the spot is egg-shaped and can be easily dls terned through a smoked glass." The egg and glass are suggestive of observations over a Chicago bar. LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY A , W*. CALIFORNIA A RAILWAY BUFFER The need of enlarged power for the interstate com merce commission, as provided in bills now before con gress, la illustrated In the loss sustained by California shippers. Because of disagreement between the man agers of the transcontinental lines and those of the Southern roads east of the Mississippi It costs more to transport California products to Kentucky, for Instance, than to New York. This utterly unwarranted discrim ination has been the subject of many protests from Pa cific coast shippers, but no attention has ever been paid to them. Whatever explanation is vouchsafed by the railway companies is of the kind familiar In tho explanations of quarrels between boys. Each side claims that the other is wholly blamable. For the first time we now have a circumstantial statement of the issue from the viewpoint of the south ern railway companies. A representative of one of tha chief systems east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio river is in this city with a party of railway officials on a tour of observation. According to this authority the southern managers proposed to those of the trans continental lines, About three years ago, a plan for harmonizing their respective Interests. The plan was accepted substantially by the other side, as alleged, when a rupture occurred as described thus by the south ern manager; "A compromise adjustment between con necting lines was reached and the tariff was about to be printed and distributed when notice was served on the lines cast of the Mississippi river and south of the Ohio that certain exceptions of the rates in botlr directions would be canceled effective December 15, 1904. Since that time no change has occurred in the situation." Because of a hitch in the compromise over an ap parently trivial matter the" two interests have been clashing for three years, largely at the dxpense of Cali fornia shippers. That Is only one side of the story, of course, which puts the blame upon the transconti nental companies. As explained from the viewpoint of the latter the southern companies must bear all the responsibility. Each side practically admits that the stubborn failure to adjust the Issue causes gross in justice to California industries. The rights of our shippers have for three years been ground between tho upper and nether millstones of railway rivalry. The only hope of release from such tyranny, .of which this is only one example, lies in the control of the rate-making power by the interstate commerce com mission. If the plan were adopted which Is', provided for in the bills now pending the kink would bo promptly taken out of the issue whereby Cajifornia is made to suffer. GERMAN AND AMERICAN STRIKES An interesting parallel is noted between the strike settling methods now urged by the German govern ment and the one fathered by President Roosevelt in the case of the great strike of coal miners, two years ago. The parallel begins with the sameness of Industrial lines, the coal industry, and with the vast number of miners involved, more than 200,000 in each case. The method adopted for adjusting the strike in the anthra cue coal field is still so fresh in the public mind that there is no need for further allusion to it here. The German government, probably through the in itiative of the emperor, advised both employers and miners to submit the issues between them to arbi tration. The parallel with the American coal strike is seen at this point in the refusal of the employers at first to listen to the suggestions. They declared, rather indignantly, that the duty of the government In the premises was confined to preserving order and pro tecting life and property at the scene of trouble. The miners, on the contrary, evinced a willingness to submit their case to arbitrators, nnd later they went to the ex tent of adopting a resolution expressing their read!-' ness "to abide by any judgment a parliamentary com mission of inquiry might render." The whole question at issue in the German coal in dustry now is likely to be settled by^a commission. The only difference between the plan to be adopted and the one employed in the case of the American miners is in the method of selecting the commission. By consent of both sides President Roosevelt chose the commission to adjust the anthracite coal strike, while the German commission will be a parliamentary crea tion. And the outcome in the German case promises to be as satisfactory as it was In the American case. The point of special interest in this practical fol lowing of the American precedent by Germany is the success resulting from tentative interposition of official authority in securing peaceful settlements of labor dis putes. The hope is encouraged that by such quasi official action, in the general interest of the public, a long step may be taken toward the ultimate avoidance of prolonged and disastrous contests between labor and capital. ' • PAY OF LEGISLATORS Two distinct constitutional amendments providing for the extension of the legislative term have been sub mitted by Los Angeles members of the assembly/They agree In the proposition to extend the term from sixty to eighty working clays, but they differ in the question of compensation to members. In one case It Is pro posed lo make a flat term salary of $1,000 while in the other case a per diem allowance of $10 is named, which would bo equivalent to $800 for the eighty-day term. The present pay of legislators is $8 a day, which gives $480 for the term of sixty days. The question of increased pay for members of the legislature is not a new one. If the allowance were merely a question of legislative conscience the figure would have been tilted up long ago. In considering the subject a deal of light can be thrown upon it by reference to the compensation of legislators in other states. Only four states pay their legislators as much as Is contemplated in either of the suggested California amendments. Pennsylvania, to which is accorded the discredit for having the most corrupt of American legis lators, pays Its members $1500 for each session. New York pays $1500 per annum, Ohio $000 per annum, and Illinois $1000 per session. In the per diem class Oregon, Vermont, Michigan and Kansas pay only $3 a day. The figure Is $4 a day in Alabama, Georgia, North Caro lina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia. In the $5 a day class are Idaho, In diana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Mis souri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. Maine pays its legislators $150 a year and New Hampshire $200. These examples of rates ruling in other states will give the people of California some idea of the merit of a demand for $800 to $1000 for California statesmen, plus mileage and "patronage." Obviously the three new parts of the superior court should be housed, as the present ones are, in the county court house. Better provide for some of the other county offices elsewhere, The courts ehould have the prior right in the court house, and the superior court parts, especially, all should be under one roof.

WORKINGMAN CRITICISES THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW He Claims It It Unfair, Unjust and Against the Interests of the Taxpayers LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3.— [Editor Herald]— Two week* ago In the Herald I asked the question, "What Improve ment has civil service been In the man agement of the offices of 'our city gov ernment In the last two yearn?" So far I have not been enlightened on the subject. The Herald, editorially com menting on the BHme nt that time, prophesied no response would be made find none has been made. Then If no defense can be made of thin farcical part of our city charter, why do we nnk or expect the legislature now in Reunion to pass the amendment to p'tt the police and fire departments under this deceptive service? It will be n grand mistake, nnd will, inside of a very few yearn, create dis cord nnd destroy the efficiency and dis cipline of those departments. Look nt the horde of Incompetent employes wild to be graftera and whnt not, in the street, health nnd assessor's offices. And because they are under civil ser vice they must stay there. The recently elected heads of depart ments cannot remove them. And right here I compliment Assessor Lewis for having backbone enough to try to force the deadwood out of his office. Al though It is costing him a world of trouble, he is at least partially succeed ing, The civil service commission in itself cannot remove one of those em ployes without appealing to some out side assistance. Some one must make charges, otherwise the commission Is powerless and the grafters aro safe. The victory won at the polls in the defeat of Werdln Is not complete by any means. All his thrifty deputies are there yet, nodding and smiling with the same contractors who in the lust two years did the rotteneSt work that was ever done or palmed oft on the taxpayers of this city. And they will stay there as long as they live unless outside assistance conies to the relief of the civil service commission. Yet when it comes to putting on men, then they don't need any assistance. They know all about the qualifications required and are merely anxious that no one works for the city unless he has the civil service brand on his col lar. The street department a few days ago was notified that old Rubben, who is temporarily employed to direct the moving of buildings, had not taken the civil service examination. And what is galling to us workingmen is this, that we are expected and are prepared to direct and perform all the labor necessary upon the highways and by ways of this city in a good workman like manifer and to the satisfaction of the street superintendent who would like to employ us. But no, we must first go to the civil service commission and be examined as to what we know about work — by a commission made up of lawyers and doctors who It is safe to say never did a day's work in their lives. This Is a stunner to us. inAak! NEW PASTOR ASSUMES - DUTIES OF HIS CHURCH Rev. Arthur Stevens Phelps Called to Ministry of Central Bap. tist Congregation' Rev. Arthur Stevens Phelps, who re cently accepted the pastorate of the Central Baptist church of Los An geles, will commence his pastorate and preach' his initial sermon tomorrow morning, when he will take for his topic?

UNIVERSITY FINANCES Examination of Embezzler's Books Criticised by Berkeley Regent By Assoc-lute.l Pie«». '..viVf': BERKELEY, Feb. 3.— The senatorial committee continued its investigation Into the financial methods of the Uni versity of California this afternoon. Regent Foster, by a series of questions, attempted to prove that former Auditor Herr did not make a thorough inves tigation of McKpwen's books, and as the regents depended upon the auditor, Foster held that the board should not be held responsible because McKowen's thefts were not discovered before. Re gent Foster, by hls'questlons and ac tions, showed that he believed expert Herr had made a failure of the audit ing of the university's books.

Mr. Post's talk was an interesting cne, nnd he was followed by b\r. Men* denhnll, who spoke on "Exploration and Mining." The latter speaker dwelt at some length on the beauty of the scenery of Alaska, for which It should occupy h prominent placo In the north west, ns well H4S for its wonderful mines, He gave a sketch of the discovery nnd growth of the Klondike, nnd Inter spersed it with touches of the vein of human nature which characterizes the prospector in the newly found gold fields.
