An election to determine the issue Of water h0,;, 1s for $23, 1,000 will be \u25a0 step in the Owens river wal«i proposition. The sum named is of Im- mense proportions for a city of the size of Los Angeles, but the purpose, for which it Is Intended fully justifies the st'-p. The enterprise Is of vital to iii nmunity. The very life of the city. In view of its rapid growth, is involved 111 the proposition THF BIG BOND ISSUE It is the almost unanimous judgment of our financiers and other leading bustni ss men that all the funds requi- site for the Owens river water project should be provided for by n single bond issue This conclusion, which is em- bodied in the resolution adopted at the joint m.' ting of business organizations, is In accordanci with the advice of bond experl counsel in New York. It may be accepted by the community, - re. as a b< tter method than the plan of vntli c bo Is as thi y would he needed in 1 pri secutlon of the work. The mayor has undertaken mendable work in his act of "house cleaning" at the city hall, The energy he displays at the beginning gives promise of success and In his efforts he will have the solid backing of all classes of citlaens except the "bum" nnd "push" classes. nf i ' illfornla, its cnuntli r nil dnmlnali d to n groat extent by the combination ot railway and polltii al mnchlne Influences, Rvery public officer In the state, from govern- or to . onstnble, is n garded by that lion ,is a tributary feature of those Influences. And hence the fii - baucherj nl the public service that Is In evidence everywhere In ihe stnte Is a direct consequence of folsttns the class of "drunken bums" and push poli- ticians upon the public to be supported by Official salaries. And this imeful condition of af fnirs In the public service Is duo. IS the mayor Intimate*, to the curse of "push politics," otherwise known as "organi- sation" or mni hlne politics. The snme influences which stuff the legislature with tools of the pollilco-railv ma- chine '-" nil our municipal offices, In great measure. with the class of "drunk, bums." as the mayor correct- lv characterizes thorn. Citing (1 Ppri'lflO example tho mayor siiys: "Why. i hoard this morning that (here Is one Inspector in the health de- portment who Iny In the police station nil night Sunday because he was too drunk to co home." And further: "I lt -,v be.-n told that such experiences nrp not uncommon among city hnll \u25a0 m- ployes mid not confined to iho honlth department, either. " •\u25a0We have made n llttlo list of the fel- ion -In th.it department ho have tho reputation of being drunken bums or push politicians," etc. iii,- mftTOf bus boon preparing, he puts it. for "a little house cleft fling" In tin' city hull.

"mW These young- girls are members of the educational department and come Saturday mornings to take lessons In physical culture, elocution and Jiihlu study. When the quick campaign was! planned it was agreed by the commit- tees that for the month of February b definite policy for raising money would be Btrlctly followed. Many have Bug- gested Ideas for Increasing the fund, but the original plain is to be adhered to. One concession has been granted, how- ever, t.i the youngest members of the association, the girls' branch, who wanted to make money to add to the fund. So Saturday, during the noon hour, these little maidens, ranging in ages from 7 ti) U, will sill candy in a pretty booth In the court. Their Bible class teacher, Miss Mildred 1 Mat worthy, is making the arrangements and will have tht> Rlrls under her wing.

The association stands ready to adopt Miss Hooper tor the rest ot her days If the people Will put the money in trust for her. "No, sho is not a member," replied one of the secretaries when questioned by someone who was Inquiring about Miss Hooner. "but she is a woman; that is enough." Miss Anna M. Jones, professional nurse, member of the Y. \V. C. A., gave n week's service to Miss And-i'son, an- other of the explosion victims, and has credited her good deed to the associa- tion, Now the association has made arrangements to keep her on the case as long as she Is needed and pay her salary.

Of water h0,;,1s for $23, 1,000 will be\u25a0 step in the Owens river wal«i

growth, is involved 111 the proposition

THF BIG BOND ISSUEIt is the almost unanimous judgment

of our financiers and other leadingbustni ss men that all the funds requi-site for the Owens river water projectshould be provided for by n single bondissue This conclusion, which is em-bodied in the resolution adopted at thejoint m.' ting of business organizations,is In accordanci with the advice ofbond experl counsel in New York.

The mayor has undertakenmendable work in his act of "housecleaning" at the city hall, The energy
