LARGEST CITY ON PACIFIC COAST
Curb the messenger boys; they
need It.
June 12 is not far off. Make up your
mind to vote.
The Owens river opposition is on the
run; it ha 3 taken to lying.
The little bug under the chip is very
busy these days. Watch him hop.
Drive out the macquereaux; this town
has no use for such human vultures.
The tune Fiddler Schmitz plays now
sounds mightily like a funeral dirge.
The combination of Alkali Sammy
and "Veritas" Is one to make the gods
grin.
Incidentally, how about that Fourth
street subway? Is anything doing
there?
Alkali Sammy, however, will not re
fuse to drink Owens river water when
it is brought here.
Old "Veritas" has been sadly over
worked of late. It is to be hoped that
he took a rest yesterday.
Why should the power companies
fight Owens river if they didn't want
it themselves? Answer that.
Will the city own the Owens river
conduit or buy its water from the power
companies? That's the question.
Gould's chief complaint against his
wife is that she was extravagant.
What did he expect with all his money?
The breaking of ground for the Alas
ka-Yukon exposition has taken place;
the breaking of Its promoters will come
later.
Put the ban on the hoodlum messen
ger, now that the automanlac is curbed,
and the streets will be safe for pedes
trians.
Make a note of this: If the power
companies didn't want Owens river
their penny dreadful wouldn't be fight
ing it.
Texas has fined an oil company more
than $1,000,000 and ousted it from the
state. They do some things very well
In Texas.
Cuba is becoming thoroughly Amer
icanized. The railroads down there are
killing their passengers in wrecks, just
as we do.
Discrimination in rentals against the
family with children Is not a very good
■way to encourage increase in the city's
population.
May building ran above a million
dollars. That shows that only the drop
in lumber was needed to start the
building boom again.
These fine Sundays Fiddler Schmitz
wishes very much that he were back in
Oolden Gate park leading the band
like an honest man.
The council should take action on
the North Hill street tunnel today, and
let the work begir. Almost a year of
discussion is quite enough.
The proper way to get even with
Alkali Sammy is to hold his nose and
make him drink Owens river water till
he admits that it is good.
The Folk boom has "busted." Folk
was a very good four-flusher In Mis
souri, but he couldn't even show that
state, let alone the nation.
It costs San Francisco more than
$1700 a month to keep .n.oe Ruef in
custody. Abe always was an expensive
proposition to the quake town.
EWhen a cause has to resort to garbled
truths it is rotten. Read the power
companies' organ and be convinced of
the opposite of its statements.
fWhen the San Francisco bribery in
vestigation reaches Herrln, the man
highest ua. the people of the whole
state of California will give fervent
thanks.
Hereafter letter carriers who wear
shirtwaists must don ties with them.
But there is no regulation by the gov
ernment requiring these waists to be
peekaboo.
That weather of yesterday was much
more like It. A few days, of that and
the peekaboo will come forth from Its
concealment and the bathing suit will
blossom on the beach.
THE ENEMrS LAST DITCH
The inevitable defeat that awaits
them at the polls will drive the op
ponents of the water project to their
last ditch. As a final resort, no doubt,
they will then bend their energies in an
effort to impede the marketing of the
bonds. All the mud batteries that now
are directed against the general propo
sition will be trained upon the bonds,
with the hope of inciting distrust about
their value as a gilt-edged investment.
In estimating the market value of
any kind of financial security the same
rules that apply in tlie case of a
private borrower are applicable in the
case of a municipal borrower. If a
business firm or a corporation seeks a
large loan, an intimate acquaintance
with its standing and methods is re
quired by the prospective money lend
er, as a basis of negotiation. If investi
gation should disclose lack of cohesion
among the members of the firm or cor
poration the capitalist would be likely
to look askance at the loan proposi
tion.
The greater the solidity of public
sentiment in support of the water pro
ject the stronger will be the backing of
the bonds when they are offered in the
money market. If the opponents of It
can demonstrate that there is any con
siderable diversity of opinion among
the people of Los Angeles in regard to
the proposed undertaking, that exhibit
will militate, to greater or less extent,
against the sale of the bonds on sat
isfactory terms.
The extreme sensitiveness of the
money market in ordinary affairs is
well known to all business men. The
greater the magnitude of a borrowing
transaction the more clearly that sen
sitive corirHHon is ln evidence. In a
matter involving so vast a sum as will
be represented ln the water bond Is
sue it Is Important that every phase of
the loan proposition be strengthened, at
every point, to the limit of possibility.
In view of these facts, which are fa
miliar to all men of large affairs, it Is
especially desirable that the coming
election shall show that the people of
Los Angeles are practically a unit ln
the great water undertaking. Abso
lute unanimity cannot be expected, of
course, as self-interest Impels certain
strong corporations to poll the largest
opposing vote they can muster. Such
effort is expected and discounted at
home and it will be understood at the
eastern financial centers.
But as every loyal Angeleno is per
sonally and directly interested ln vot
ing affirmatively on the bond question,
the election returns should indicate that
the negative votes represent only the
force allied with the antagonistic cor
porations.
With such a showing as that the
indorsement of the bond issue would
be substantially unanimous. It would
be so regarded by eastern bond buyers.
It would be accepted as conclusive evi
dence that the citizens of Los Angeles
are backing the water project to a
man, woman and child— always except
ing the Judases and Arnolds who re
gard Individual gain as paramount to
the vital interests of the community.
A LABOR UNION TEST
In closing a review of the Cartwright
anti-trust law in its bearing on labor
unions The Herald said last Wednes
day: "A test of the question whether
a union is properly a trust may be
projected at any time." Announcement
that the test would be made came the
same day. It will occur at the hub of
labor troubles, the sorely stricken city
of San Francisco.
The head of the San Francisco rail
way system declares that "the unions
will be proceeded against criminally
under the Cartwright anti-trust law."
He says that "probably the greatest liv
ing authority on trust laws, after the
most careful study of the scope of
that law, has given me a definite opinion
that the acts of the unions have been
in illegal restraint of trade within the
meaning of that law." And finally,
"There can be no escape for them and
we shall proceed against them in the
courts with the utmost vigor."
The conclusion that the Cartwright
law covers labor unions in the general
trust category is based upon this fea
ture of the definition of a trust, as
given In the law: "A combination of
capital, skill or acts by two or more
persons, firms, partnerships, corpora
tions or associations of persons, or of
any two or more of them, for either,
any or all of the following purposes."
Then follows a long enumeration of
purposes, the only one that seems to
bear upon the labor union issue being,
"To create or carry out restrictions ln
trade or commerce."
As an Indication of opinion in locali
ties where much skilled labor is em
ployed we quote from the San Francisco
Index: "By some lawyers the bill Is
believed to have been a direct thrust
at union labor. The first paragraph
of the new law expressly prohibits
combinations of 'skill' as well as of
capital, and it has been Intimated in
many quarters that the legislature,
when it rushed the Cartwright bill
through at the eleventh hour, was after
the scalp of organized labor."
The penalties prescribed for violation
of that law would seem to be fatal to
trade unions, if such organizations are
shown to be involved. The attorney
general of the state is charged with the
duty of bringing suits "for the for
feiture of the charter rights and fran
chises of offending corporations or as
sociations violating the law." Convic
tion carries with it "the revocation of
licenses to do business in this state."
The individual penalties are quite as
drastic as those which apply to the of
fending corporations or associations. A
violation of any of the act's provisions
is declared "a conspiracy against trade
and any person who may take part ln
such conspiracy in any way, as prin
cipal,, manager, director, agent, servant
or employe, or in any other capacity,
shall be punished by a fine of not less
than $50 nor more than $5000, or be Im
prisoned not less than six months nor
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 3, 1907.
more than one year, or both such fine
and Imprisonment."
Now it will be for the courts to de
cide—ultimately the highest tribunal—
whether labor "skill" comes within the
purview of the act and whether a labor
union Is an "association" on a level
with a corporation in liability for "re
straint of trade."
NO LEGAL OBSTACLE
The question of utilizing the Owens
river water for power purposes by the
city of Los Angeles is not a subject
for present consideration. One thing
at a time is good policy in a matter
so Important as the building of a $23,
0,000 aqueduct.
But in view of the ultimate utiliza
tion of the water for generating elec
tric power it Is pleasing to know, on
the edge of the bond election, that there
is no legal obstacle to such purpose.
A decision Just rendered in this city
by the federal court sets at rest any
misgiving that may have been enter
tained on that point.
An issue raised ln Pasadena resulted
in a legal decision that is of much
interest at this time in Los Angeles.
Pasadena is dissatisfied with its elec
tric light and power service and pro
poses to install its own equipment In
stead. The company now rendering
the service, with the same Incentive
that causes opposition to the Los An
geles water project, attempted to frus
trate the Pasadena municipal plan by
legal process. The right of a city to
Issue bonds for such a purpose was
contested in the United States court.
On all the points raised in the Pasa
dena case the court ruled ln favor of
the city, thus brushing away all legal
hindrances to the installation of a mu
nicipal power and lighting plant.
In Its application to a possible issue
in Los Angeles it should be noted that
the legal position of this city would be
much stronger, in such a contest, than
was Pasadena. Los Angeles owns the
only water plant operated in the city
and municipal use of the Owens river
water for :lectric purposes would be
merely the production of what Is com
mercially called a "by-product."
There is no doubt that the power and
lighting 1 companies of Los Angeles view
with anxiety* the likelihood that Los
Angeles will Introduce its own plant
for sucib purposes after the completion
of the Owens river aqueduct. The in
itial power being at command without
expense would enable the city to supply
all local needs, and perhaps those of
neighboring cities as well, at the min
imum of cost.
But, as intimated be.ore, the electric
question and all others of incidental
kind are sidetracked now. The water
bond issue has the right of way on
the main track until the closing of the
polls June 12.
The N. B. A. rates "jeing now effec
tive ln California Los Angeles begs to
inform the instructors of the young
that its finest brand of summer climate
is on tap, and they may come and
enjoy It as soon as they like.
There may be persons who are hon»
estly opposed to the Owens river pro
ject, but the emanations of "Verltas"
in Alkali Sammy's Snooze are not hon
est; nor are his reports of engineers
garbled by him.
That oil company that Texas fined
some little trifle like $1,000,000 wishes
now that it had taken the advice of
the chap who said that if he "owned,
both places ne'e", rent out Texas and
live in hell."
There never was so fine a city for
children as is Los Angeles. Why, then,
should its landlords discriminate in
rentals again: t families which have a
brood of promising youngsterr .'
Big pool room operators want to
freeze out the little fellows by means
of a high license. But if the little
fellows are bad, why doesn't that argue
that the big ones are worse?
Although the iron works in San Fran
cisco have compromised with their em
ployes who were on strike only half
the original number get their jobs back.
That's a lesson for strikers.
There is only one real simon-pure
leader of the Democracy, it seems. And
he doesn't hail from Missouri, nor Is
his name Joe Folk. Bryan sounds good
to the Democrats jet.
Work for thousands of men will be
offered as soon as the Owens river
election is over. No dull times for
L.OS Angeles for years to come, if the
vote is favorable.
Instead of changing plans for the
Panama canal wouldn't it be well to
do a little digging and not have any
plan? Then perhaps the dirt would fly
for a while.
Germany has reduced its tariff on
American goods and will now be able
to enjoy them at lower prices than we
do — for the American tariff is as stiff
as ever.
Thirty cents per $100 a year pays for
Owens river, and the Increase in prop
erty values more than covers that ten
times over. How can anyone vote
"no"?
Cut out the fleeting bicycle messenger
or make him observe the law.
SOUVENIR DE BOHEME
Old thoughts, dear thoughts
Come to me again.
How we were together
In the wind and rain.
Close to me you nestled
In the glimmering street,
And we had no refuge
Where to turn our feet.
Blue curves the Bky now,
Yellow burns our fire,
And we are at home now
With our hearts' desir«.
But old thoughts, dear tnoughta
Come to me again,
How we two wandered lonely
In the wind and rain.
