Her offices are Just off Broadway, ft«"l she has the proud distinction of know- ing more actors and actresses than any living mortal. Her outer rooms are forever filled by white-coated sou- brett««, lank "heavy" men, English t#nor« In tweeds, round, smooth-faced comedians, and good-looking young men In short blue coats who will play anything from "Juvenile lends" to the baritone lover lieutenant in a comlo opera. As a rule they all know each other, cull each other by their first nnmes, and are nt Joyous as if they were nt An afternoon ten. To the casual visitor the object of their pres- ence might never be known, IfIt were not for the one very conspicuous 3lgn which la evident from all quarters of the room. The agent herself, who lurgely controls the destinies of the dramatic profession, sit" In a small office and answers to the general and genial name of "mother." In consid- eration of th« fact that there are some ten thousand actors in the theatrical profession, not to mention the many managers with whom she Is on equal terms of Intimacy, her responsibilities Bfe large. Bhe has seen every playnnd every notor In the country, fend can tell you' Just about what each player can do. Her list has every kind of artist, from a *1000-a-we«k leading woman to many soubrettes who value their ser- vices at $18. Bhe guarantees to supply nny manager with a complete, company for any play— tragedy, comedy, farce, problem or mußtcal. comedy—wlthln twenty-four hours after the order is given. A c«se in point is that of a play which was produced In New Tork on a Tuesday night. The next day the man- ager asked this agent to witness that night's performance.

Union labor, at last exercising Us own prerogatives and becoming at last conscious of the fact that Its organisa- tions have been submitting themselves as catspaws of Hearst's personal ambi- tions and tails to the kites of his yel- low papers— union labor has begun to throw offits Hearst shackles by taking prompt and decisive steps to repudiate and disavow the Hearst league ticket.: It was high time. There are men of' fine Intelligence among the union labor organizations, and they have too long permitted corrupt agitators to trade on, their good name and sell them out to such conscienceless millionaires as Wil- liam Randolph Hearst, who, posing as "a friend of labor," is in reality ope of the worst enemies that honest labor has In all this country. . Hearst and his hirelings created the so-called league; Hearst and his hire- lings held the so-called state conven- tion and nominated those men whom Hearst selected. It Is the worst case of boss-made, boss-owned, boss-directed politics Inthe history of this country. Langdon, a good, fellow enough per- sonally, but a mere puppet of Hearst, Is now pictured and paraded In tho Hearst yellows as "the, people's candi- date," when the absurdity of It Is ob- vious. Where 'did the people come In? The people had nothing whatever to do with-It. It was a one-man affair throughout. Boss Hearst organized tho league in order to aid* his own Imperiled fortunes In New Tork and to assist Herrln In keeping the Democratic party out of power In California, Win. It H«arst; finding the Demo- cratic party determined to reorganise itself and boost him out along with tho Southern Pacific railroad, came wont to Ban Franolsco, got together a bunch of his agents and employee, and under his explicit orders they met, organized the so-called Independence league and nominated a state ticket. Langdon was then and there named, by the, Hearst agents, for governor. The facts are quite, familiar, but it Is timely to recall how and why langdon happens to be a candidate at atl. MERELY A HEARST PUPPET Tha H«arst yellow, has nn f ill tor In 1 with the caption, -'Xangdon, tha Candi- date of the. People.'; , • The lnpu<lfnr« of the thing is laugh- able. Everybody I« accustomed to ex- hibitions of gall from that quarter, but this Is, surely pilingIt up to an un- wonted If not an unexpected degree. The gen«fal" appearances of the czar- ina may be 1 .'fairly well known in this country, although fewer pictures have been published of her than of any other crowned head^ But no picture that I had seen gave any Idea of how she really looks, seen thus face to face. Perhaps this may be - for the reason that much of her beauty comes from exquisite coloring, and that there, is about her a subtle charm impossible to picture and difficult to describe. She is very tall and very slender, yet most finely proportioned. Her features are almost Greek in their regularity, and the natural expression of her face struck me at once as singularly wist- ful and sweet sadness that never went quite away even when she smiled. Her hair is strikingly beautiful and luxuri- ant, long, heavy, glossy and brown- gold in color. Her eyes are large, soft; lustrous gray-blue, with long lashes, and I. painted them cast down, as they nearly always are: for she is shy, and hardly ever looks up without a blush. Yet with all the czarina's blushing shyness, her bearing impressed me with a sense of something much deeper and graver than mere admiration for a. beautiful, graceful woman. • It Is dif- ficult to.define Just what this Impres- sion was, but it may be termed ma- jesty, for lack of a subtler term; and the feeling of It Increased during the entire time that I was privileged to enter her presence, although no one could haveibeen kln,der or more simple in all that she said and did.-^-Century. THE, CZARINA'S CHARM A good, old fashioned practice that might well come Into more general ÜBe among grape growers is that of pro- tecting the fruit while on the vine by Inclosing the clusters In paper bags. There are numerous Insects, birds and fungous diseases that attack the fruit during its development, and against most of these the bag can be made to furnish almost perfect protection. Spraying to destroy the pests is often effective and, for the \u25a0 benefit of 1 the vine and foliage, should never be neg- lected, but the proper use of the bags willinsure a greater proportion of first class fruit than can \u0084be obtained by any other means known to me.—Coun- try Life In America. ' . .. \u25a0•\u25a0•-.-\u25a0• . • -' .. BAG YOUR GRAPES Is it not astonishing that laboring men qf presumed intelligence fall to see that they are being used by such plutocrats solely as stepping stones to high places? As conclusive evidence that "the fools are not all dead," thousands of laboring men are shouting for # the two millionaire vote seekers, neither of whom would touch the hand of a worker with a pair of tongs except with the sinister purpose now appar- ent.' Even in congress- Hearst's par- venu interests led him to cut the ac- quaintance of memberi who had the misfortune to be compa'ratlvely-'poor. ' \u25a0 And these two kid-gloved millionaire "labor leaders" are shoveling out cam- paign money in a manner delightful to their hirelings and amazing* to their honest dupes. ItIs said that the cost of Hearst's aspiration for the gover- norship, down to the time of his suc- cessful deal for the Democratic nom- ination, was upward of $1,000,000. ,As evidence that the sum is likely tb .be duplicated, the announcement is made that he and Chanler have each con- tributed $100,000 to the Democratic campaign ' fund. Hearst's own party, the so-called Independence league, has practically no campaign resources ex- cept such as he and Chanler may contribute. One of the millionaires referred to is well-known In California— too well known for. the 'good name of tho state. This person la _W. ft; Hearst, whose egregious vanity, leads him to believe that he Is destined to become presi- dent of the United States. The mate of Hearst, in this connection, la Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, a Bclon of . the Astor and Stuyvesant families. These two pampered inheritors of great wealth now appear as political leaders aßking the working classes to make them, respectively, governor and lieu- tenant governor of the Empire state. Nothing could be more ridiculous than the posing of two New York multi-millionaires, of the dilettante clllss, In the role of "labor leaders," ostensibly arrayed against "the cap- italistic class." The Idea of "Satan rebuking, sin" affords the nearest ap- proach to a fitting parallel to the spectacle. , * A LUDICROUS SPECTACLE no more. . \u25a0 —Isabel Bcclestone Mackay In The . Reader.

The When this subject was broached to Mrs. Green she said: "I never trouble the future. I lot It take care of itself." " Mrs. Green's Voice Softens Then her voice softened and she added: "But everything I think tho most of is here. It is my home, and my husband's and its associations tire very dear to me. It is natural to sup- pose that I shall remember these things in my will. , Now this tax matter again! It la the "worry and. trouble such a small amount oauses that I object to. In managing an immense fortune and keeping it busy, there must be attend- ed to a- duty which God has given me to perform. A vast system is- required and even a small change upsets the system and necessitates much worry." Bellows Falls feels that it has lost all hope of benefiting from the, immense fortune of Mi-n. Green on account of the I'filno. It had expected a hospital, a library or some kind of a memorial. When a correspondent raised the clap- per on the cottage door today, Mrs. Green's maid responded. The maid Is a wonder. Her face is as imperturbable as a cup. of weak tea.' She was telling the scribe that Mrs. Green was In Bos- ton, would not return in three days and did not want to see a newspaper man anyway, when Mrs. Green appeared." "You may say. that this is not the end of the affair," was Mrs. Green's com- ment when told of the decision of the board. "It may be an act of provi- dence. It ahows mo that the people of Bellows Falls do not want me here any longer, and perhaps it is just as well. I wish to be let alone. I come here after a hard year's work in New York, and I want to rest. It is not the $2000 that I object to, for that is a pittance. I can get more than the additional tax right out of my plfce." Mrs. Green paused as If in mental calculation. "Let me see. The fire de- partment wants my barn for its horses, and si man with five.children wants to rent the house. The board of listers is mistaken if, it. thinks that by driving me- out 1 4t : oan.gett possession of my homestead at a low figure for a library. I shall never give it to Bellows Falls for a Carnegie library, for I do not ap- prove of such things with a string aN tachment." \u25a0 . Her Maid a Wonder The board, figuring on the million- dollar increase, took It upon Itself to confront Mrs. Green with the $2000 raise. She made a vigorous protect, ap- pearing in person before the board to tell them what she thought of the game. The board decided yesterday that the raise was about right and must stand. Bellows r Falls Is mighty sorry the board played such a stiff hand. Itde- cided to make a record this year, and up went tho town list nearly a million dollars. Heretofore Mrs. Green has done nbout 'ns. sho llkos in the assessment game. ' Some years she appraised her holdings -at $10,000 und others, when she felt particularly generous, found $100,000 opposite her name. • "When Ifight there is usually a funural, and It Isn't mine, cither," Mrs., Green said today. . Mrs. Groen's" daughter, Mlssi. Sylvia, appeared in the village hardware store early this morning and bought locks and bolts to close up the old-fanhloncd cottage on tho brow of the hill with Its .view of the Connecticut valley. Mrs. Green does not conceal her sor- row over leaving the old homestead. It Is here hor children were reared, and her husband is sleeping in tho vjl- lage churhyard. BELLOWS FALLS, Vt., Oct. 2.— Like an injudicious player in a poker gnme, the Bellows Falls board of list- ers raised Mrs. Hetty Qroen, credited with being the richest woman in the world, $2000 . on her $10,000 tax assess- ment. The board thought it was about the right elza raise. It was too much. Special to The Herald. A man who had watched the affair and claimed to know about hogs, razor, backs Inparticular,' gave the following dissertation: "Arkansas has a great- er variety of hogs and less pork and lard. than any state in. the. Union, An average hog In Arkansas weighs about fourteen pounds when dressed with its head on and about six pounds and a half with Its head oft. It can outrun a greyhound, Jump a rail fence, climb -like a' parrot and live on grass,' roots and rabbit tracks. It hasn't much tail or bristle, but plently of gall. It will lick a wolf or a bear In a fair fight. It is so called ra/,or back because it is shaped like a sunflsh. Inhunting razor backs ,they are shot at sideways, for there is not a ghost of a' show to hit them otherwise, any more than to shoot at a shingle.- It can drink milk out of a quart Jar on account of Its long,' thin • head. This type of razor \u25a0back Is known as the stone hog because its head is -so heavy and its nose so long that It balances up behind. The owner of this type of hogs usually ties a stone to its tall to keep It from over- balancing and breaking its neck while running. If the * stone \u25a0is too -heavy It will pull the skin over its eyes and ! it will go blind."—Mineral Wells Index. THE ARKANSAS PORKER No, that rumor that the city hall Is to be cleaned out doesn't apply to the political drones who hibernate there. That would be too good to be true. Itmeans only the ousting of bacilli and Other suchlike' innocents. ' This subject certainly is of sufficient Importance to warrant the submission of It to popular vote, on a charter amendment, In accordance with the real estate men's appeal to the charter revision committee of the council. But advocates of the new proposition declare that a complete showing of the situation, In respect to the city's ex- pansion, will lead to a reversal of the former vote. Great as that expansion has been during the last two years, it is argued that the stoppage of railway extension has greatly retarded Improve- ment in many sections of the city. Tho advance of improvement follows, the railway lines, as a rule, and it looks reasonable that the lack of new lines has had a tendency to check improve- ment in certain districts. There is no good cause for objection to the submission of this question to popular vote, as desired by the real estate interests. The proposition is in accordance with the good old Demo- cratic idea of homo rule in local affairs and of majority rule In all public affairs. The twenty-one-year franchise system was adopted by a large ma- jority of the popular vote. If the peo- ple are of the same mind now as at tho former period they will vote against the proposed change. And whatever the decision may be the minority will acquiesce, in true Democratic fashion. The present proposition of the real estate men Is that a limit be adopted- on a line half way between the present limit and the one which It superseded. That Is to say, they ask that the franchise life perlod.be fixed at thirty- three years. It is intimated that the railway companies would \u25a0be satisfied with such an adjustment, and that they would resume the construction of new lines and extensions of others on that basis. "., \u25a0 •;• These men certainly are the best judges of cause and effect In this mat- ter. Itis said that there' are 2500.per- sons, approximately, who are directly concerned in the real estate business. This representative group has appealed to the city councir to resubmit to voters the question of - franchise limitation. The present limit is twenty-one years; prior, to two years ago It was fifty years. , The Los Angeles real estate dealers seem to be of one accord in the opinion that the limitation of street railway franchises to twenty-one years Is work- ing incalculable injury to the city's ex- pansion.

Tte largest theatrical agency In thiscountry, and probably In the world Is,curiously e*nough, run by'a woman.Her offices are Just off Broadway, ft«"l
she has the proud distinction of know-ing more actors and actresses than any
living mortal. Her outer rooms areforever filled by white-coated sou-brett««, lank "heavy" men, English

baritone lover lieutenant in a comloopera. As a rule they all know eachother, cull each other by their firstnnmes, and are nt Joyous as if they

OLD JEWELRY COMING IN BTYLE
Poor Langdon! He represents nothing
and nobody on God's green earth butthe greed and selfishness of Hearst andhis renegades.
Union labor, at last exercising Usown prerogatives and becoming at lastconscious of the fact that Its organisa-tions have been submitting themselvesas catspaws ofHearst's personal ambi-tions and tails to the kites of his yel-
low papers— union labor has begun to
throw offits Hearst shackles by takingprompt and decisive steps to repudiateand disavow the Hearst league ticket.:It was high time. There are men of'fine Intelligence among the union labororganizations, and they have too longpermitted corrupt agitators to trade on,
their good name and sell them out to
such conscienceless millionaires as Wil-
liam Randolph Hearst, who, posing as"a friend of labor," is in reality ope ofthe worst enemies that honest labor hasIn all this country. .
Hearst and his hirelings created theso-called league; Hearst and his hire-lings held the so-called state conven-tion and nominated those men whomHearst selected. It Is the worst caseof boss-made, boss-owned, boss-directedpolitics Inthe history of this country.
Langdon, a good, fellow enough per-sonally, but a mere puppet of Hearst,
Is now pictured and paraded In thoHearst yellows as "the, people's candi-date," when the absurdity of It Is ob-vious.
Where 'did the people come In?The people had nothing whatever to
do with-It. It was a one-man affairthroughout. Boss Hearst organized tholeague in order to aid*his own Imperiledfortunes In New Tork and to assistHerrln Inkeeping the Democratic party
out of power InCalifornia,
Win. It H«arst; finding the Demo-cratic party determined to reorganiseitself and boost him out along with thoSouthern Pacific railroad, came wont
to Ban Franolsco, got together a bunchof his agents and employee, and underhis explicit orders they met, organizedthe so-called Independence league andnominated a state ticket. Langdon wasthen and there named, by the,Hearstagents, for governor.
The facts are quite, familiar, but it Istimely to recall how and why langdonhappens to be a candidate at atl.

The lnpu<lfnr« of the thing is laugh-able. Everybody I« accustomed to ex-hibitions of gall from that quarter, butthis Is,surely pilingIt up to an un-wonted Ifnot an unexpected degree.
The gen«fal" appearances of the czar-ina may be
1 .'fairly well known in thiscountry, although fewer pictures havebeen published of her than of any othercrowned head^ But no picture that Ihad seen gave any Idea of how shereally looks, seen thus face to face.Perhaps this may be
-for the reason
that much of her beauty comes fromexquisite coloring, and that there, isabout her a subtle charm impossible topicture and difficult to describe. Sheis very tall and very slender, yet mostfinely proportioned. Her features arealmost Greek in their regularity, andthe natural expression of her facestruck me at once as singularly wist-ful and sweet sadness that never wentquite away even when she smiled. Herhair is strikinglybeautiful and luxuri-ant, long, heavy, glossy and brown-gold in color. Her eyes are large, soft;lustrous gray-blue, with long lashes,and I.painted them cast down, as theynearly always are: for she is shy, andhardly ever looks up without a blush.
Yet with all the czarina's blushingshyness, her bearing impressed me witha sense of something much deeper andgraver than mere admiration for a.beautiful, graceful woman. • It Is dif-ficult to.define Just what this Impres-sion was, but it may be termed ma-jesty, for lack of a subtler term; andthe feeling of It Increased during theentire time that Iwas privileged toenter her presence, although no onecould haveibeen kln,der or more simplein all that she said and did.-^-Century.

A good, old fashioned practice thatmight well come Into more general ÜBeamong grape growers is that of pro-tecting the fruit while on the vine byInclosing the clusters In paper bags.There are numerous Insects, birds andfungous diseases that attack the fruitduring its development, and againstmost of these the bag can be made tofurnish almost perfect protection.Spraying to destroy the pests is ofteneffective and, for the \u25a0 benefit of 1 thevine and foliage, should never be neg-lected, but the proper use of the bagswillinsure a greater proportion of firstclass fruit than can \u0084be obtained byany other means known to me.—Coun-try Life In America.

Is it not astonishing that laboringmen qf presumed intelligence fall tosee that they are being used by suchplutocrats solely as stepping stones tohigh places?
As conclusive evidence that "thefools are not all dead," thousands oflaboring men are shouting for #the twomillionaire vote seekers, neither ofwhom would touch the hand of aworker with a pair of tongs exceptwith the sinister purpose now appar-ent.' Even in congress- Hearst's par-venu interests led him to cut the ac-quaintance of memberi who had themisfortune to be compa'ratlvely-'poor.

And these two kid-gloved millionaire"labor leaders" are shoveling out cam-paign money in a manner delightful totheir hirelings and amazing* to theirhonest dupes. ItIs said that the costof Hearst's aspiration for the gover-norship, down to the time of his suc-cessful deal for the Democratic nom-ination, was upward of $1,000,000. ,Asevidence that the sum is likely tb.beduplicated, the announcement is madethat he and Chanler have each con-tributed $100,000 to the Democraticcampaign
'fund. Hearst's own party,
the so-called Independence league, haspractically no campaign resources ex-cept such as he and Chanler maycontribute.
One of the millionaires referred tois well-known In California— too wellknown for.the 'good name of tho state.This person la _W. ft; Hearst, whoseegregious vanity,leads him to believethat he Is destined to become presi-dent of the United States. The mateof Hearst, in this connection, la LewisStuyvesant Chanler, a Bclon of. theAstor and Stuyvesant families. Thesetwo pampered inheritors of greatwealth now appear as political leadersaßking the working classes to makethem, respectively, governor and lieu-tenant governor of the Empire state.
Nothing could be more ridiculousthan the posing of two New Yorkmulti-millionaires, of the dilettanteclllss, In the role of "labor leaders,"ostensibly arrayed against "the cap-
italistic class." The Idea of "Satanrebuking, sin" affords the nearest ap-proach to a fitting parallel to thespectacle. , *

THE VISION
WALTER WELLMANSociety Sketches
Mrs. Green received her caller In thoentrance hall, a large, and roomy, apart-ment .with a winding staircase. The
When this subject was broached toMrs. Green she said:"Inever trouble the future. Ilot
It take care of itself." "
Mrs. Green's Voice Softens
Then her voice softened and sheadded: "But everything Ithink thomost of is here. It is my home, andmy husband's and its associations tirevery dear to me. It is natural to sup-pose thatIshall remember these thingsin my will.,Now this tax matter again!It la the "worry and. trouble such asmall amount oauses that Iobject to.In managing an immense fortune andkeeping it busy, there must be attend-ed to a- duty which God has given meto perform. A vast system is- requiredand even a small change upsets thesystem and necessitates much worry."
Bellows Falls feels that it has lost allhope of benefiting from the, immensefortune of Mi-n.Green on account of theI'filno. It had expected a hospital, alibrary or some kindof a memorial.
When a correspondent raised the clap-per on the cottage door today, Mrs.Green's maid responded. The maid Is awonder. Her face is as imperturbableas a cup. of weak tea.' She was tellingthe scribe that Mrs. Green was In Bos-ton, would notreturn in three days anddid not want to see a newspaper mananyway, when Mrs. Green appeared."
"You may say. that this is not the endof the affair," was Mrs. Green's com-ment when told of the decision of theboard. "It may be an act of provi-dence. It ahows mo that the people ofBellows Falls do not want me here anylonger, and perhaps it is just as well.Iwish to be let alone. Icome hereafter a hard year's work in New York,and Iwant to rest. It is not the $2000that Iobject to, for that is a pittance.Ican get more than the additional taxright out of my plfce."
Mrs. Green paused as If in mentalcalculation. "Let me see. The fire de-partment wants my barn for its horses,and si man with five.children wants torent the house. The board of listers ismistaken if,it.thinks that by drivingme- out
1
4t:oan.gett possession of myhomestead at a low figure for a library.Ishall never give it to Bellows Fallsfor a Carnegie library, forIdo not ap-prove of such things with a string aNtachment." \u25a0 .
Her Maid a Wonder
The board, figuring on the million-dollar increase, took It upon Itself toconfront Mrs. Green with the $2000raise. She made a vigorous protect, ap-pearing in person before the board totell them what she thought of the game.The board decided yesterday that theraise was about right and must stand.
Bellows rFalls Is mighty sorry theboard played such a stiff hand. Itde-cided to make a record this year, andup went tho town list nearly a milliondollars. Heretofore Mrs. Green has donenbout 'ns. sho llkos in the assessmentgame.
'Some years she appraised her
holdings -at $10,000 und others, whenshe felt particularly generous, found$100,000 opposite her name. •
"When Ifight there is usually afunural, and It Isn't mine, cither," Mrs.,Green said today. .
Mrs. Groen's" daughter, Mlssi. Sylvia,appeared in the village hardware storeearly this morning and bought locksand bolts to close up the old-fanhloncdcottage on tho brow of the hill withIts .view of the Connecticut valley.Mrs. Green does not conceal her sor-row over leaving the old homestead.It Is here hor children were reared,and her husband is sleeping in tho vjl-lage churhyard.
BELLOWS FALLS, Vt., Oct. 2.—Like an injudicious player in a pokergnme, the Bellows Falls board of list-ers raised Mrs. Hetty Qroen, creditedwith being the richest woman in theworld, $2000 .on her $10,000 tax assess-ment. The board thought it was aboutthe right elza raise. It was too much.
Special to The Herald.
A man who had watched the affairand claimed to know about hogs, razor,
backs Inparticular,' gave the followingdissertation: "Arkansas has a great-er variety of hogs and less pork andlard.than any state in.the.Union, Anaverage hog InArkansas weighs aboutfourteen pounds when dressed with itshead on and about six pounds anda half with Its head oft. Itcan outruna greyhound, Jump a rail fence, climb
-like a' parrot and live on grass,' rootsand rabbit tracks. Ithasn't much tailor bristle, but plently of gall. It willlick a wolf or a bear Ina fair fight.Itis so called ra/,or back because it isshaped like a sunflsh. Inhunting razorbacks ,they are shot at sideways,for there is not a ghost of a' show tohit them otherwise, any more than toshoot at a shingle.- Itcan drink milkout of a quart Jar on account of Itslong,' thin • head. This type of razor\u25a0back Is known as the stone hogbecauseits head is -so heavy and its nose solong that It balances up behind. Theowner of this type of hogs usually tiesa stone to its tall to keep Itfrom over-balancing and breaking its neck whilerunning. If the
*stone \u25a0is too -heavy
It will pull the skin over its eyes and!it willgo blind."—Mineral Wells Index.
THE ARKANSAS PORKER
No, that rumor that the city hall Isto be cleaned out doesn't apply to thepolitical drones who hibernate there.That would be too good to be true.Itmeans only the ousting of bacilliandOther suchlike' innocents. '
This subject certainly is of sufficientImportance to warrant the submissionof It to popular vote, on a charteramendment, In accordance with thereal estate men's appeal to the charterrevision committee of the council.
Butadvocates of the new propositiondeclare that a complete showing of thesituation, In respect to the city's ex-pansion, will lead to a reversal of theformer vote. Great as that expansionhas been during the last two years, itis argued that the stoppage of railwayextension has greatly retarded Improve-
ment inmany sections of the city. Thoadvance of improvement follows, therailway lines, as a rule, and it looksreasonable that the lack of new lineshas had a tendency to check improve-ment incertain districts.
There is no good cause for objection
to the submission of this question topopular vote, as desired by the realestate interests. The proposition is inaccordance with the good old Demo-cratic idea of homo rule inlocal affairsand of majority rule In all publicaffairs. The twenty-one-year franchisesystem was adopted by a large ma-jority of the popular vote. Ifthe peo-ple are of the same mind now as at thoformer period they will vote againstthe proposed change. And whatever thedecision may be the minority willacquiesce, in true Democratic fashion.
The present proposition of the realestate men Is that a limit be adopted- ona line half way between the presentlimit and the one which It superseded.That Is to say, they ask that thefranchise life perlod.be fixed at thirty-
three years. It is intimated that therailway companies would \u25a0be satisfiedwith such an adjustment, and that theywould resume the construction of newlines and extensions of others on thatbasis. "., \u25a0 •;•
These men certainly are the bestjudges of cause and effect In this mat-
ter. Itis said that there' are 2500.per-sons, approximately, who are directly
concerned in the real estate business.This representative group has appealedto the city councir to resubmit to votersthe question of
-franchise limitation.
The present limit is twenty-one years;prior, to two years ago It was fifty
years. ,
The Los Angeles real estate dealersseem to be of one accord in the opinionthat the limitation of street railway
franchises to twenty-one years Is work-ing incalculable injuryto the city's ex-pansion.
