LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER ix, 190$.
THE PROBLEM OF MORE SCHOOLS
Some very pointed remarks were those made by Prof.
J. A. Foshay, superintendent of the Los Angeles schools,
in The Herald yesterday. But in no respect will they
attract more attention than in showing how very small a
sum would put the school department even with the
city's growth, and keep it there.
Two mills on the $100 tax valuation is all that Prof.
Foshay says is required to do this. The tax valuation is
supposedly only 40 per cent of the real valuation. That
reduces the two mills down to eight-tenths of one mill per
$100 of real property value — an almost infinitesimal sum
in each individual case. If, for instance, a man owns
$10,000 worth of property, it is assessed at $4000. On
this, 2 mills per $100 would be only 8 cents. Surely, the
sum is modest enough.
The trouble now is that Los Angeles waits till it
slips so far behind with its schools that more buildings
are imperative. Then bonds are issued, fought over,
sold, and schoolhouses are erected. By this time the
increase of pupils is more than enough to occupy the
additional room. Before another bond Issue can be
sought and secured, conditions are worse than ever.
•A 2 mill building fund would soon accumulate enough
to give Los Angeles two or three school buildings a
year. New ones would thus be normally provided for
the Increase to be naturally expected. Certainly the
tax is inconsiderable enough not to be unpopular, and
the scheme sounds well. Why not take steps to bring
about this solution of a very pressing problem?

PEACE— BUT NOT FOR LONG
Peace once more hath the world in her gentle em
brace. If we except a few such little affairs as our
state of armed pacification in the Philippines, "the war
drum throbs no longer, and the" battle flags are furled."
The dove that settled o'er Portsmouth closed a great
conflict, and the nations once more rest in security and
quietude, it is to be hoped, goodwill.
How long will peace last? Not long, if the past be
the criterion of the future. Most of the time, nation is
at war against nation, and the surcease from battle is
brief and seldom.
Who will believe that since 1897 there has been
almost constant warfare? Yet such is the case. Four
great clashes have been, fought in the last eight years,
in the four great quarters of the carth — America,
Europe, Africa and Asia — not to mention minor con
flicts; thousands of men have been killed and millions
of dollars have been expended. Yet the brief period
mentioned is one of the least bloody in history.
Turkey and Greece began this last war period.
April 17, 1897, they started, and for thirty-one days
fighting followed. Greece was overwhelmed; Russia
intervened, the treaty of Constantinople was executed
on December 4, 1897, and Greece paid $18,000,000.
One year later, April, 1898, the United States and
Spain were fighting. Of course, Cuba and Spain had
been warring for years, but in a desultory fashion. We
fought from April 25 to August 12, but it was April 11,
1899, before the finalities were concluded. And we
not only paid Spain $20,000,000, though we whipped
her, but we got the Philippines. And the fighting there
isn't over yet.
The Boer war broke out October 11, 1899, and this
lasted till May 30, 1902. Great Britain spent $1,000,000,
000 and lost 100,000 killed and wounded men. The
Boer nation was wiped from the map, but at a cost that
"staggered humanity."
Barring our Philippine troubles, and a few such,
including the Boxer row, twenty months intervened be
fore another outbreak — that between Russia and Japan.
This lasted one and one-half years, and even now its
conclusion only brings to greater notice the internal
revolts in Russia, and the possibilities of rebellion in
Japan.
In eight years, at the close of the nineteenth and
the beginning of the twentieth centuries, this sanguinary
record is written. Russia has been driven out of her
best possessions in the far east, the Boer nation has
been obliterated, and Spain has been shorn of her col
onies, while untold millions of money have been wasted
and uncounted thousands of lives have been wiped
out. Once more the sword is sheathed, but will it be
for long? The record of history shows that it will not
rust from disuse.
And now it's the electric fan that goes on a rampage,
flies off at a tangent and wrecks things generally. But
in this mild and moderate climate, why use electric
fans?
A LESSON IN TEMPERANCE
The Subway tavern, the famous religious saloon in
New York, opened with prayer by Bishop Potter and
run In an attempt to combine rum and salvation, has
ceased to exist. It failed, financially and morally; it has
been sold out, and the new proprietor proposes to run it
in the old-fashioned saloon style. It will be reopened,
he says, but not with prayer, and the dedicatory hymn
will be that jovial toast to Oambrlnus: "Beer, beer;
glorious beer; fill yourself clear up to here!"
Bold and even brave as was the good bishop's pur
pose in fathering the Subway tavern, the end is not
unexpected. The design of the place was fundamentally
awry, and it was foredoomed to failure. The thirsty
soul craving beer doesn't want it with a scriptural flavor,
and the man who desires booze cares for no temperance
sermon with it. Gotham wants its rum without the
alliterative religion; no ecclesiastical frills add to its
taste or expedite its getting.
Public opinion was against this experiment— from the
start. New York is not noted for advocacy of prohibition
in any guise. It not only tolerates saloons; it favors
them. It is perfectly willing that these saloons shall
sell liquor; they are run for that purpose and no other;
every one knows their mission and no one is deceived
by them. If one wants a drink, he goes to a saloon for
it; If he has no thirst to be satisfied, he simply doesn't
go to a saloon at all. Least likely would he go there
with a desire for spiritual inspiration.
Hence, now, one Skidmore is going to run the well
advertised Subway tavern as a plain ginmill, and re
ligion will spend some time in wiping the stains from her
garb for "mixing in."
There is a lesson in this Subway tavern failure. It is
this: The way to curb intemperance is not through
such experimentation. Undoubtedly more men (and wo
men, for it catered especially to them) bought drinks in
the Subway tavern than ever will during the same period
again, because curiosity drew them to it. Thus it de
feated its own object — as such attempts always will.
Law is necessary to restrain the liquor cvil — to hold
it in check. But you can't legislate morality, let alone
spirituality, into any man. The way to inculcate'tem
perance is to "close the. saloon every man carries between
his nose and his chin" — and every Individual man is a
separate and distinct opportunity for the practice of this
sort of real, true and genuine temperance.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 30.— According
to the statement of the railway pas
senger agents, tourists from the east
spend about $25,000,000 down in this
corner of the country every year and
everybody gets a little of it. They
have to be fed and lodged and taken
around, and they waste a certain pro
portion of their funds foolishly on
trifles, so that the money that they
bring in is pretty well distributed. Not
less than 250,000 strangers visit Los
.Angeles every winter and spend more
rr less time here and In the surround
ing towns. One hundred and fifty
thousand come in over the Southern
Pacific and 100,000 over the Santa Fe,
and the Clark road from Salt Lake Is
beginning to contribute to the number.
Thus the tourist business Is the basis
ot the prosperity of Los Angeles and
Indirectly the railroads are responsible.
The city began to be something in
1886. The Santa Fe railroad having
been completed during the previous
year, there was a great desire on the
part of the restless people, particularly
In the central states, from Minneapolis
•to Galveston, to see the glories they
had read about. The late W. F. AVhite,
for many years general passenger
agent of the Santa Fe railroad, was a
genius at advertising, and he made the
scenic wonders, the fruits and flowers
nnd the climate of Southern California
known in every. household. The South
ern Pacific reached El Paso the next
year and gave Los Angeles a direct line
from New Orleans to Galveston, which
was also well advertised. The city had
a great boom.
Fortunes were made by clever specu
lators and that advertised the town also
and attracted thousands of others. The
boom broke In 1888, but this falling off
was confined to the speculative dis
tricts. It Is a significant fact that prop
erty in the business section of the city
has retained Its value and steadily ad
vanced during the dull periods. This is
largely due to the never-falling flow of
tourists.
The Population
In IS9O the population of Los Angeles
was 66,000 by the federal census, and it
has continued to grow. Things began
to pick up In 1893, when the panic swept
over the country. Los Angeles endured
It very well, there being only a few
small failures. Only one bank went
under, and that was unimportant. For
the next four years business was dull
because the tourist trade practically
stopped. '
Just at that time, fortunately. In the
midst of the financial depression of
1893, cheap fuel was discovered in the
form of crude petroleum, which lessened
the cost of industry at least 60 per
cent, attracted considerable manufac
turing and prevented the sending out
of money for fuel, which up to that
time had been Imported from Australia,
Wales, British Columbia and New
Mexico.
Confidence was restored; manufactur
ing enterprises were stimulated. Be
fore oil was discovered the country was
purely agricultural; now It has many
small factories that pay big dividends.
All kinds of things are made here from
clay, brass, iron and wood — builders'
hardware, chandeliers, construction
Iron and many novelties In iron, steel,
copper, brass and other metals are
made. Large numbers of patents are
Issued to Los Angeles people every
year for novelties that are manufac
tured here. The factories are not large;
most of them employ from three to
fifty men. Fins furniture is a specialty,
also, and nearly all the shops have ar
tistic wood carvers from Switzerland
and Germany.
Tralnloads of readymade houses are
shipped to ranches and mining regions.
One of the newest enterprises is the
manufacture of splints, artificial limbs
and other surgical appliances from the
wood of the yucca palm, which is very
light and tough and is found in great
quantities In the desert. Several insti
tutions are making patent pumps and
windmills for desert irrigation, orna
mental terra cotta, cement, asphalt and
all kinds of articles of clay. A New
York firm has recently established a
factory for the manufacture of felt from
Arizona and California wool; piano
hammers are shipped from here by the
carload and felt Insoles are being dis
tributed all over the world. A new
bridge Is being erected over the river
In the middle of the city and bears
signboards announcing it to be the first
steel bridge ever erected by local work
men. >
This manufacturing is all due to
Sept. 11 in the World's History

mouth of the Humber, and laid waste the country.

cheap fuel, the discovery of petroleum
In the neighborhood of the city. That
was the cause of the second boom,
which began In 1896 and continues to
the present day. The official census of
1900 gave Los Angeles a population of
102,247. They now claim 200,000, and
that Is reasonable, because the growth
of the city has been rapid and steady
ever since 1900. No town In the United
States Is gaining in population more
rapidly, and Los Angeles last year was
third of all the cities In the amount of
money expended for new buildings. It
was surpassed only by New York and
Chicago, and I am assured that both
the total and the average this year will
pass even that record. In other words,
more churches, banks, school houses,
business blocks, residences, factories
and other buildings are being erected
here than in any other place In the
United States, except the two cities I
have named.
The city Is gaining in other respects
also. The census of 1900 showed 1550
manufacturing establishments, where
there are now 2500; 14,000 artisans were
then employed, where there are now
more than 22,000, and an output valued
at $21,297,537, while that of 1905 is esti
mated at $35,000,000.
The restored prosperity of the coun
try affected Los Angeles and the sur
rounding towns more than any other
section, because It again permitted peo
ple to travel and gave them more
money to spend for luxuries and pleas
ures. It permitted thousands of
merchants, bankers, manufacturers and
professional men to retire from active
business and buy and build homes In
this climate; It enlarged and stimulated
the fruit market and made better
prices. Los Angeles was Just beginning
to feel the benefit of this improved con
dition throughout the nation when the
settlement of the estate of the late C.
P. Huntlngton placed In the hands of
his nephew, H. E. Huntlngton, about
$40,000,000, the proceeds of the sale of
his Interest In the Southern Pacific
railroad company and Its auxiliaries.
Mr. Huntington, believing in the future
of Los Angeles, decided to invest the
larger part of his legacy here, and has
since built up what Is conceded by
everyone to be the finest street railway
system ever known.
Huntlngton's Part
Los Angeles has more and better
street car lines than any other city In
the world, three, four or five times Its
size. Mr. Huntlngton has 381 miles of
trackage, stretching In every direction
from the city. His lines run chiefly to
the neighboring towns south of the city,
the longest being thirty-four miles. He
has made Greater Los Angeles possible.
He has started a dozen or more thriv
ing towns and has made a dozen or
more old towns accessible. Altogether
he has invested about $17,500,000 In trol
ley roads and lands. He has erected
the largest office building on the coast
and uses it as headquarters and ter
minus of his railways. The accommo
dations for hauling passengers are ad
mirable and the building Itself is a
novelty In several respects. The ground
floor is given up to the railways, all
cars of the Huntlngton system running
In and out around a loop. The top floor,
the floor next to the top and a roof gar
den, altogether about six acres, are
leased by the Jonathan club, a social
organization of which Mr. Huntlngton
1b president, and no club In the world's
existence has mere spacious or elegant
accommodations.
The remainder of the building is
leased to tenants for offices. It Is as
nearly fireproof as possible, the doors,
door frames and other woodwork being
sheathed with copper. Mr. Huntlng
ton is the most public spirited man In
Los Angeles, and one might say in
California. Other cities can envy Los
Angeles the possession of such a citi
zen with such a fortune and disposi
tion.
There are two other street railway
systems. One of them is under the
direction of Mr. Clark, formerly of
lowa, and takes in the towns to the
westward. It has about 200 miles of
track, and gives access to a dozen or
more seaside resorts and suburban
towns.
A third system, which Is also con
trolled by Mr. Huntlngton, furnishes
transportation to every section within
the city limits.
Mr. Huntlngton's railway construc
tion, which began about 1896-97, brought
in laborers by the thousands and stimu
lated trade more than any other thing
that has ever happened in this section.
It made additional industries and mer
cantile establishments necessary to
supply the wants of the new popula
tion, and prices advanced In every way.
The development of {he suburban
towns contributed to the general pros
perity, because so many wealthy peo
ple erected expensive homes and
created a demand for every kind of
merchandise. The large sales of prop
erty at good prices to newcomers
brought fresh money into circulation,
and everyobdy has prospered. Cheap

fuel, however, Is the basis of the entire
improvement, for neither Mr. Hunting
ton nor the other railway builders
could have accomplished what they
have done without it.
At the same time, residence property
Is comparatively low and lots In the
business district, except in special
cases, are not held at exorbitant fig
ures. Lots in the residence districts,
fifty feet wide and 150 feet deep, in the
most fashionable quarters can be
bought for $125 a foot; in very good
sections they bring from $50 to $75 a
foot, and In respectable but not fash
ionable streets from $25 to $50 a foot.
Building Is very rapid everywhere
throughout the city. A fringe of new
houses surrounds Los Angeles like a
circle. Moßt of them are Inexpensive
wooden cottages and bungalows of ar
tistic design, almost always detached
and surrounded by gardens. Specula
tion is chiefly confined to outlying ad
ditions, ten, fifteen and twenty miles
from the courthouse.
Sites have been laid out for many
exclusive parks like those In St. Louis,
In which buyers are required to erect
residences of a certain style and cost,
and to beautify their grounds in a cer
tain manner. There are already sev
eral of them In the exclusive portion of
the city, where the lawns, foliage and
flowers add greatly to the beauty of
the scene. It will not be many years
before Los Angeles can take rank
among the most beautiful cities of the
world. The mildness of the climate and
the richness of the soil permit semi
tropical plants to thrive luxuriantly;
hedges of calla lilies, fuchsias and ger
aniums, ten feet and more In height,
are found everywhere. Jasmine, tube
roses, heliotrope and other fragrant
plants grow into large trees; palms,
bananas, fig trees, pepper trees, lemon,
orange, oleanders and magnolias and
other trees of their nature thrive. The
people here do not have to wait eight
or ten years, as we do In the east, for
their shrubbery and shade trees to
reach maturity. Everything springs up
like magic, and many trees and vines
grow while the houses are being built
under them.
The architecture of Los Angeles—
especially In the residence portion of
the city— ls picturesque, but with a few
exceptions not ostentatious. Moorish
or mission style, with tiled courtyards
roofed with glass, Is. the favorite, and
some of it is fantastic. The most beau
tiful house I have seen belongs to Paul
de Longpre, the king of flower painters,
as he has often been called. He has a
Moorish villa -at Hollywood, one of the
suburbs of Los Angeles, which is more
beautiful than anything in Morocco or
among the Moorish cities of Spain. It
Is surrounded by a garden such as you
will not see anywhere else — a perfect
jungle of flowerß.
The greater number of the residences
upon the more fashionable streets have
not cost more than $20,000 or $25,000. I
have been told by good authority that
not more than a dozen houses in this
city exceed that figure. The great ma
jority of those upon the fashionable
streets represent an investment of only
ten, twelve or' fifteen thousand dollars
each.
