LEGISLATION THEME
OF EXPERT'S SPEECH
John Z. White, Exponent of Initiative,
Referendum and Recall, Appears
Before Students of High
School
John Z. White, probably the best
known exponent of direct legislation
In the United States, associated with
the Henry George Lecture association,
spoke yesterday to the students of the
Los Angeles high school in the school
auditorium. -. I .
Mr. White's subject was the "Ini
tiative, Referendum and Recall." He
attempted to show that legislation in
this field would be of benefit to the
people. .
Mr. White said in part:
"Direct legislation is in operation In
Oregon, Montana, South Dakota, Ok
lahoma, Missouri and Maine, and to
some degree in Nevada and Utah.
Municipalities in Oregon, California
and other states possess this power in
varying degree. It is part and parcel
of all newer movements toward better
government,! and—none who possess it
show any tendency to drop it.
"Government of some sort we must
have. Two sorts are possible. One,
government by all of the people; the
other, government by part of the peo
ple. A government by part of the peo
ple always finally uses Its power to
the disadvantage of thos* who have
no voice in its action. Government by
the whole people is the only form that
necessarily enlists morals and self In
terest on the same side. And this is
not because the whole people are
morally, intellectually or otherwise
better, but because It is physically im
possible for the whole people to profit
ably swindle themselves." ■ ; :
Mr. White will be in Southern Cali
fornia about ten days, speaking in the
various municipalities under the aus
pices of the Direct Legislation league
of California. . ...,,

LOS ANGELES HERALD
SATI ISDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY ». 1910.
CARNEGIE LAUDS
COL. ROOSEVELT
IRONMASTER ON HIS WAY TO
SANTA BARBARA
'WILL GREET "BWANA TUMBO"
WHEN HE REACHES LONDON
i Man of Many Millions Has Warm
Words of Praise for Former
President and His
Successor
Andrew Carnegie, ironmaster and
philanthropist, just "dropped off" hero
a few minutes ye?terday on his way
to Santa Barbara. His private car,
the Olivette, was in the Southern Pa- i
clflo train shed a little over two hours, j
but he only left it to g>t the air In a!
brief stroll up and down the plat- j
form.
Los Angeles officially greeted him
the instant his train pulled in from the j
east. Mayor Alexander and Chief of j
Police Galloway were at the -station i
and introduced themselves to Charle3l
R. Taylor of Pittsburgh who is accom- I
panying Mr. Carnegie and his wife
and daughter, Margaret, on this trip.
Mr. Tayor presented them to the iron
king.
"Scotchmen, by St. Andrew," he
laughingly exclaimed. As the result
of the chat ho had with the mayor
and the chief, Mr. Carnegie will re
turn to Los Angeles in a week or so
and pass a day or two here.
Just before the train for Santa Bar
bara was leaving, Mr. Carnegie alight
ed from his car and strolled along the
platform on the arm of his valet. He
greeted the newspaper men pleasantly
and permitted himself to be inter
viewed—briefly. The reporters felt like
discussing Roosevelt with him, and that
happened to bo a subject very much
to his liking. He warmed to it readily.
Admirer of Roosevelt
The noted financier and philanthro
pist is a great admirer of Theodore
Roosevelt. He shows it in his every
word and manner when the former
president's, name is mentioned.
His eyes sparkled with almost boy
ish anticipation as he said that he is
planning to go to Ijondon May 15 to
greet Roosevelt when he returns from
his famous expedition in Africa. /
"I wish I could be the first man to
step up and shake his hand whgn he
gets there," said Mr. Carnegie.
Encouraged to comment further op
Roosevelt, Mr. Carnegie said: "Roose
velt is one of the greatest men in
this wide world. Ho Is a statesman of
rare wisdom. He is unselfish. He is
absolutely without guile. He loves his
country and its people, and when he
was president ho based his policies on
a knowledge of the nation's needs that
few men in public life possess."
Mr. Carnegie also spoke admiringly
of President Taft. He believes him to
be an honest, able executive. "He is
carrying out Roosevelt's policies," he
said. "I admire that in him, too."
He praised President Taft's policy
with respect to the establishment of
a court of commerce. He agrees with
Mr Taft that a high tribunal of in
fallible integrity which shall judge
lower court wrangles iB one of the in
stitutions most' needed today.
Off for Santa Barbara
Mr. Carnegie will be Mr. Taylor's
guest at Santa Barbara. His visit
hero was contemplated last Christmas
when Mr. Taylor, who has a cottage at
Santa Barbara, drew him the alluring
picture of the balmy midwinter climate.
Mr. Taylor says he thinks it was his
description of the golf links in the mis
sion coast town that drew his dis
tinguished guest there, for the iron
king, though 74 years old, is a devotee
of the sport.
When Mr. Carnegie stepped from his
car in the Southern Pacific depot yes
terday it was the first time he has set
foot in L,os Angeles for nearly twenty
years. He plainly showed the fatigue
of travel. He looked tired and pale.
Nevertheless, he says he fs feeling well
and expects to gain considerably in
Santa Barbara.
"Mr. Taylor swears it will do wonders
for me," he smiled, "so you see it's up
to him to 'make good,' as the boys
Mr Carnegie's party was Joined at
Pasadena by J. A. Potter, formerly a
business partner to the iron king. He
accompanied them to this city and
will later visit Mr. Carnegie at Santa
Barbara.
MAY ASK CARNEGIE
TO HELP LIBRARY
Assistance for Branches In Los An.
geles Likely to Be Requested
of Celebrated Mil.
llonairo
Branch libraries for Los Angeles
may bo the subject that Andrew Car
negie will be asked to consider when
he returns to this city next week. An
active movement to Interest the Iron
master In furnishing the money for a
number of branch libraries will prob
ably be started the llrst of next week,
when the mayor and the library board
expect to hold a conference.
It is known that it is useless to try
to Induce Mr. Carnegie to provide the
money for a large public library, as he
does not feol his money Is well in
vested in that way. He wants his li
braries to bo within the reach of those
people who cannot readily get to a
largo library. He refused to give New
York city the money for a general
library, but provided $5,000,000 for the
establishment of branches, and he has
done the samo la a number of other
cities.
While Mayor Alexander would not
commit himself yesterday, it Is under
stood that the subject of libraries for
Los Angeles was discussed by him
and the laird of Skibo when the mayor
and Chief of Police Galloway met Mr.
Carnegie in his private car when it
came in on the Santa Fe yesterday.
What Mr. Carnegie will do toward
establishing branch libraries in Los
Angeles probably depends largely on
what Los Angeles Is willing to do. His
usual plan is to furnish the monoy for
the buildings after the municipality has
furnished the sites and guaranteed to
provide a certain amount each year
for maintenance of the libraries.
While the city already has about

[Special to The Herald.] .
SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 18.—Andrew
Carnegie, upon his arrival here this
evening, was given an enthusiastic re
ception by a large number of citizens,
headed by the Caledonian club.. To the
strains of "The Campbells Are Com
ing," played on bagpipes, Mr. Carnegie
stepped fromthe train and was escort
ed to his carriage. He responded to
the demonstration .with a few remarks
and kissed the lassie who handed him
a bunch of roses. As his carriage drove
away La Monaca's band played "Blue

MAYOR LLOYD OBJECT
OF RECALL PETITION
DISAPPOINTED POLICE CHIEF
CANDIDATE TROUBLESOME
S. P. Ruiz Says Santa Barbara's Chief
Executive Had Promised Him
Position Held by James
Ross
[Special to The Herald.}
SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 18.—Peti
tions are at present being circulated
calling for the recall of Mayor Clio F.
Lloyd, recently elected thle city's chief
executive.
B. P. Ruiz, disappointed applicant
for chief of police, is the most active
in the effort.
Ruiz claims that Lloyd promised him
the place now occupied by James Ross,
and when the new mayor reappolnted
lioss the recall agitation was started.
The ambition of Ruiz to be chief of
police dates back two years, during the
municipal campaign when the same
candidates for mayor were In the field.
At that time the report was so per
sistent that Lloyd had promised the
place to Ruiz, that Lloyd felt called
upon to publish a card in the news
papers denying the sto^y.
The recall provision of the charter
states that a petition, to be effective,
must have signers to the number equal
ing 25 per -ent of the total vote cast
at the previous election. This means
that the petitions now in the field must
bear 544 names before the council can
consider the request to call a special
election. The petitions do not name a
candidate to oppose Lloyd, should the
plan work out; but Such an opposing
candidate, or candidates, can be nomi
nated in the regular manner, by peti
tion should the agitation bear the fruit
expected by its promoters.
GOVERNMENT RESORTED TO

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 18.—During the
examination today of (Juy L.. Wilson

frauds, Attorney Tannahill charged the

favorable to the prosecution's slue of
the case.
Tannahill sought to place the re
sponsibility for the alleged tactics on
the attorneys and agents of the gov
ernment. He charged these persons
had taken Wilson, an alleged "dummy"
entry man, Into inquisitorial chambers
last night and to force him
to make certain Statements on the wit
ness stand which were not true. Wil
son, however, denied on the stand an
attempt had been made to intimidate

INSISTS MERGER

CLAIMS S. P. AND U. P. ROADS
STRENGTHENED
KRUTTSCHNITT TRIES TO SHOW
BENEFIT OF UNION
Declares Everything That Could Be
Done to Render Greater Conven.
ience to Public Had Been
Done Since Combine
[Associated Fresst
N"EW YORK, Feb. 18.—Efforts to Im
prove the Union and Southern Pacific
systems since the merger of the two
railroads were related by Vice Presi
dent Julius Kruttschnitt of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific systems
when he resumed the witness stand
today at the hearing of the govern
ment's suit to dissolve the merger.
On the Union Pacific, Mr. Krutt
schnitt said, in the eignt years ended in
19U9 there had been provided 552 loco
motives, 2586 passenger cars. 12.41 M
freight cars, 707 work cars, 2428 miles
of new steel rails, 88,258 feet of wooden
bridges replaced and 5919 feet of Iron
and concrete bridges constructed.
On the Southern Pacific in the same
eight years there were 920 new locomo
tives, 888 passengef cars, 26,471 new
freight cars, 2489 work cars, 3970 miles
of new steel rails, 136,411 feet of
wooden bridges replaced and 49,826 feet
of iron or concrete bridges constructed.
Another item showed that during the
period named 17,210,000 feet of new
cross ties were laid on the Union Pa
cific and 24,373,000 on the Southern Pa
cific.
The witness described the new facil
ities and methods made by the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific since
1902 to meet the demands of increased
freight traffic. He thought the freight
service was as good as that provided
by any of the other transcontinental
lines; "if it weren't we wouldn't get the
business," remarked Mr. Kruttschnitt.
He thought all the big lines were
working- along the same plans to Im
prove the service, and the best service
was that which had the most efficient
train loading and car loading.
Train Load Is Increased
Mr. Kruttschnitt explained that since
the old schedules were superseded the
company had increased its trainloid
greatly and had taken every possible
means to expedite the movement of a
traffic which had expanded remarkably
in volume.
The schedule of recent years, the
witness declared, was the best possible
that could be given under conditions
which preclude an increase of rates
in the face of an increase In the price
of labor and materials. The mainte
nance of a fast freight, he added, tend
ing at all times, also, to affect all other
traffic unfavorably.
- Mr. Kruttschnitt said that, notwith
standing criticisms of the mail service
to San Francisco, the present sched
ule, though longer in hours, brings the
mail into San Francisco early, admit
ting of its delivery that day, which woi
not possible under tha old schedule.
In one year on the two mail routes
government fines aggregated $62,330, or
2 per cent of the entire revenue for
carrying the mails, said Kruttschnitt.
It was becaAse of these fines that the
railroads had revised their mail sched
ules, he declared.
Some figures were given showing
that the taxes on the Union Pacific had
increased from $225 a mile in 1901 to
$424 in 1909, or 89 per cent, and on the
Southern Pacific from $201 in 1901 to
$393 a mile in 1909, or 91 per cent.
Kruttschnitt declared that the whole
condition of the system was much bet
ter than before the merger.
The witness, questioned about tho
Sunset route to San Francisco by way
of Galveston, said the terminal was
changed from New Orleans to Galves
ton to provide better transfer facilities
from boat to train than were available
at Algiers, across the river from New
Orleans.

JAPAN IS RINGING
WITH ARMY SCANDAL
Steamer Empress of China Brings
News of Widespread Criticism
and Charges of Graft in
the Mikado's Empire
VICTORIA, B. C. Feb. 18.—Investi
gations are to be made into alleged
army scandals in Japan, according to
news received by the Empress of China,
which arrived today. The Nochi Shim
bun charges gross irregularities, and
two other Tokio papers allege scandals.
The Nichi Michi says the army esti-
mates contain many irregularities, that
"corruption is deep-rooted and wide
spread" and that collusion between
army officers and contractors is an
open secret. The secrecy of army ad
ministration has offered great scope
for graft, it says, and investigation is
necessary.
The Nichi Midi! blames the situation
to the exclusive control of the army by
certain clansmen and the secrecy. The
Hochi Shimbun says the army is being
secretly expanded and, whereas nine
teen divisions only were authorized,
there are twenty, the funds for main
taining the extra division being secured
from diverting appropriations. The
Hochl says not more than a third of
the amount provided for clothing, boots,
etc., is expended for the purpose. The.
paper continues:
"A large proportion goes Into the
pockets of the officers."
LIVE SUNDAY SCHOOLS AID
CHURCH, SAYS SPEAKER
Many Pointed Anecdotes Used by Rev.
D. F. Howe in Speech Before
Methodist Convention
Rev. D. F. Howe opened the evening
session of the Methodist' Sunday school
convention last night with devotional
exercises, after which Dr. Blake spoke
on "Methodism's New Awakening." In
an address teeming with pointed anec
dote, he strove to impress upon his
hearers that the churches which were
most successful today owed their suc
cess to their efforts in building up live
and vigorous Sunday schools, trusting
to them to Interest their elders in the
church. He pointed out that the only
way for the teacher to gain the con
fidence and interest of the child is to
enter with spirit into his most con
suming pleasure, which with boys is
generally athletics, and having done
all in his power to further that pleas
ure, to depend upon the child's sense
of honor to induce conscientious effort
to apply the things presented for his
spiritual good.
The afternoon session yesterday was
opened by devotional exercises by the
Rev. Alfred Inwood.
Bishop Edwin H. Hughes delivered an
address on "Christ's Teaching About
Childhood." in which he deplored the
doctrine of "Infant Damnation," draw
ing for illustration on the status of the
children in the old Jewish church, as
revealed in study of the Old Testa
ment, and their status In the early
Christian era as depicted by Paul in
the New Testament. Bishop Hughes
said: "Although the doctrines of
Methodism are so broad today that al
most any angle of an argument can
be supported by quotations from
Methodist sermons, the' church Is too
full of people who are prone to make
quotations without regard to the con
text, thus perverting the entire argu
ment and rendering their position fal
lacious."
Mrs. M. S. Lamoreaux, a prominent
Chicago Sunday school worker, gave
an address on "Later Childhood," in
which she detailed some of the methods
wftich made her boys' classes the most
popular in Chicago.

Postoffice Multiplane, with Wm. H.
Harrison at Helm, Leads in the
Novel Race Instituted by
the Association
The Young: Men's Christian associa
tion's aviation contest for new mem
bers is proving successful in a gratify
ing way, and those in active charge of
the meet are proving themselves ef
ficient in gathering in new men to the
association. Just which particular air
ship is in the lead now will not be of
ficially made public until this evening,
although the Postofflce multiplane,
with William H. Harrison as aviator,
seems to be at the head of the list.
This airship will be closely pressed by
the Autoplane under the command of
L. B. Jones, however, and many of
those interested seem to think thi3
latter machine will win In the end.
Another machine which is also mak
ing its way toward the top is the
Dyas-Gibbon dirigible, under the able
command of B. H. Dyas and T. K.
Gibbon. The crew of this machine i 9
made up largely of dormitory men,
who have a large circle of friends in
the city, and they are taking every
advantage at their command in order
to secure members.
The Musical Frenchman is the name
given to the machine which is under
command of Prof. J. B. Dupuy. A
number of well known clergymen are
assisting in the handling of this craft.
Rev. R. P. Howell of the Trinity M. E.
church, South, arrived yesterday morn
ing with three new members and was
taken into the confidence, of the pilot
of the Musical Frenchman and relieved
of the applications.
The membership campaign Is hotter
perhaps in the Triangle and the boys'
department even than in the upper
campaign. The young men in the
Triangle department have organize, l
very systematically and are bringing in
a large number of workers. There are
two teams in the field, the students and
the workers. They are daily giving
away a membership with full privileges
of the gymnasium, plunge and different
attractions. This is attached to the
balloon that is sent up from the roof
garden every afternoon. Paul Phillips
and Robert G. Paulson are handling the
crews of the Triangle cadets.
