The advent of a 10-cent fare would be but the opening wedge to an increased street car fare, for if a motor bus company with two million dollars invested could demand a 10-cent fare, why couldn't the street car company with one hundred and ten millions invested ask for a raise and get it? There is absolutely no occasion for the streets of this city to become further congested by the presence of this antiquated means of transportation. They tell us that this mode of transportation is very popular and an unqualified success; as a matter of fact this statement is eroneous as well as misleading. he Motor Buss n New York City functions pretty much as the sight-seeing cars n Los Angeles function, they operate on streets where there are no street cars, as sight-seeing cars on the boulevards, up the Hudson River and other historic points and places of interest. They figure in no way as a relief to congested traffic. Let us grant that our present street car situation fails to handle the ever-gaining traffic as it should. Is it not equally true that the Street Railway Company has bound itself to bring to us a greater relief than the Motor Bus can possibly do, by extending its lines and laying down new ones also of furnishing bus transportation with transfers to all parts of the city? In other words the Street Car Company has submitted and bound itself to a program of improvement which calls for an immediate expenditure for improvement of six million dollars; mind you this is for improving what they already have and the installaton of the motor bus itself calls for only a two million dollar outlay. We all remember the deplorable traffic conditions when we had the Jitney bus, likewise how the people fought and sacrificed to enact into legislation the Anti-Jitney Bus Law, and now at one fell swoop the New York capitalists are asking that we repeal that law.

He is truly the People's Candidate. with People's Metrorbus Company's (McAdoo Bus Proposal) THE RAILWAYS 1. Investment—Money now invested in electric railways in and tributary to Los Angeles, $110,000,000.00. 2. People Employed—By the two railways, 10,560, with thousands of additional employees through related industries. 3. Annual Wages Paid—$16,000,000.00 or 22 times the payroll of the proposed motorbus company. 4. Taxes—$1,623,000.00 annually. THE PEOPLE'S MOTORBUS COMPANY 1. Investment—A corporation seeking a 21-year franchise on which to capitalize. Probable investment, if franchise granted, $2,000,000.00. 2. People Employed—Possibly 500. 3. Annual Wages Paid—Approximately $750,000.00. 4. Taxes—License fee, and 3% on 5. Street Paving—On streets on which lines are operated, one-third of the paving is paid for by the railways and is kept in repair by them. The cost for repairs last year was $356. $98.00. 1.

Taxes—License fee, and 3% on gross receipts. Very small compared with street railway taxes. 5. Street Paving—No paying costs and no repairs. It is proposed that the general taxpayers shall maintain and when worn out, rebuild the paying used by the motorbuses, excepting the sections (about one-third) which the street car companies are to provide and maintain for use free by these rival motorbuses. ```markdown ``` REPORTER VISITS VIRGIN GOLD MINES IN TUOLUMNE COUNTY VERDUN MINES JUST 25 MILES FROM THE JOSEMITE PARK AND 20 MILES FROM FRISCO. One of the pleasantest trips it has ever been my good fortune to make—pleasure or business—was on last Thursday afternoon when I set out with a party, numbering five, to visit the Verdun Mines, located in Toulumne County, with an elevation of about 12000 feet, and just 25 miles from the Yosemite Park. The party consisted of Mr. A. G. Mahan, General Manager of the Verdun Mining Co.; Mr. J. B. Simms, Sales Manager for the same company; Mr. A. H. Dearing; Mr. W. M. Cole and myself. We left Los Angeles at 3:30 o'clock, taking the road through San Fernando, over the Ridge and along the highway to the mining camp. We had much trouble along the road, the first taking place about 63 miles from home in the Ridge when the generator of the car became unhooked from the shaft and burnt the 6. Fares—The railways charge 5c and 6c within one zone, 8c and 10c through fare between zones, with liberal transfer privileges. Experience in other cities with street car service is badly deteriorated or, as in Des Molnes, ceases thru lack of living revenue, to be remedied, of competition continues, only by increases in street car fares. 7. Free and Reduced Rate Transportation—Policemen, firemen and postmen carried free, saving them $104, 220.00 annually. School children carried at half rate, an annual saving to the parents of $203,580.00. 8. Territory Developed—Years of time and millions of dollars put into carline extensions ahead of traffic development—new territory made available and outlying homebuilders served. 9. Relief of Traffic Congestion—Part of elevated railway already built to the East at cost of $850,000.00, to speed up traffic North, South and East. Right of way for $3,500,000.00 Hollywood-Glendale-San Fernando Valley tunnel purchased, and now ready to begin work. Greatest traffic relief yet offered. 10. New Equipment—Fifty new cars, costing $850,000, recently put in service on Pacific Electric's Hollywood Line for handling traffic in advance of building tunnel. Fifty new cars, costing $725,000, recently put in service on Los Angeles Railway. Orders have been placed for 50 more new cars for Pacific Electric and 100 more no wear for Los Angeles Railway. Total cost of new equipment purchased and ordered reaches $4,887,000.00. CAPTAIN FREDERICKS FOR CONGRESS Standing for the real progress of the great and mighty Tenth Congressional District of the sovereign state of California and recognizing real worth, merit and super-qualifications, all the people join in with the mighty hosts which are moving onward in triumphant battle array for the election of that stalwart Republican and high class business man, Captain John D. Fredericks, to succeed the late and esteemed Captain H. Z. Osborne. Captain Fredericks stands pre-eminent as a man who can and will serve the people. His environment in business but reinforces his legal attainments and fits him to go forth magnificently equipped to render a service from this district, as it has never been its lot before. Momentous propositions will come up before this great body which will affect, in all probability, the future growth of this great city and Captain Fredericks' ability, his intimate knowledge of the vast resources, and in complete touch with the program of progress outlined by those who stand for a greater Los Angeles, makes him a commanding figure and the ideal man to bring these things to pass. Captain Fredericks' close-up stands with the boosters for Los Angeles and his ever-aggressive attitude to procure for this section all of the things which would make it prosper and grow also makes it certain that he 6. Fares—A 10c minimum fare. No service to majority of districts means an additional street car fare. 7. Free and Reduced Rate Transportation—Policemen and firemen not carried free, excepting two to a bus. Postmen charged regular rates. School children charged full rate— 10c. 8. Territory Developed—Not a foot of undeveloped territory served. Wants only the cream of traffic al- ready developed by the railways. 9. Relief of Traffic Congestion—Bus Company would not build anything over which to operate, or relieve any congestion. Nothing offered for present or future relief—but propose to put 125 cumbersome tow-story buses on the streets to further congest traffic. 10. New Equipment—The total of the investment promised by the People's Motorbus Company is $2,000,000,000. $2.00 THE YEAR NO. 3 MED O CITY CAPT. J. D. FREDERICKS will ever be on guard at the Nation's Capitol at all times for the real progress and prosperity of this district. He stands for all the people all of the time and if Los Angeles moves up, all who live in Los Angeles will be on the moving. For this reason as well as many others, the people are giving a hearty support to the candidacy of Captain Fredericks. His republicanism is unquestioned, it is not of the milk and water variety, but has been tried and true. A few more Republicans of the Captain Fredericks type, will strengthen our Republican Congress to the point where it will really accomplish great things for the principles which the Republican party stands for, and will not be at any time subservient to the whims of a Democratic minority; and with a strong pull all together, let's put Captain Fredericks over the top for Congress, on May 1st. CHANDLER, OWEN COMING TO CITY Chandler Owen, the brilliant editor of the Messenger, who, on his visit here a year ago, set all Los Angeles agog over the tremendously interesting and illuminatry addresses which he delivered, is on his way, and we are in for another rare treat, for he comes reinforced by the momentous happenings during the past year and will give to the people his latest and newest address; subject—"A new Solution to the Negro Problem." He will arrive here on the 28th, and after resting up for one week, will speak at the Labor Temple, large auditorium, on the above subject. He comes under the auspices of the East Side Mothers' Club, and there is no question but that the auditorium will be filled to its fullest capacity to hear him. Reports from the East at all cities where he has spoken on route here are to the effect that great crowds have turned out to hear him and are beseiging him for return engagements.

DRIFTING WHERE ‘The world has Jallen into a moral slump. There has been a universal recrudescence of sin, particular in Ametica. and that physical force, rather than the moral law has been given supre- macy. Ideals have” undergone amazing changes and concep- ‘tions of primary principles have been distorted: truth has been perverted, christian virtues have lost their divine luster and_ the sense of sin has been dulled. There is a growing vulgarity and recklessness in dress and behav- ior and an increasing disregard for the sanctity of the home. The world is groaning under indus- ‘trial cuercion, oppression, antag: onism, race riots. ignorance and illiteracy. “The world wants to be rid of poverty, ignorance, Inst, greed. violence, ill-will, social in- justice, and the aworking burden oi hatred and war. What help is there for this broken world?

A source of encouragement follows from the fact that the Great Bethel Church of Chicago has injected some business phases in the working of the church, Our people naturally go to, and believe in Church and pastor as they do no other establishment, whetb- er it be a success or a failure. One local pastor has advanced the idea. and it would be a most interesting experiment, if some successful minis: ter, and his faithful board of trustees would organize and promote for their group, or our group, a business enter- | prise.” We do not intend to make the church a commercial institution, yet, advantage would like to be taken of the fact that our people have explicit confidence in church association and will contribute money in its coffers when they will refuse to purchase ag- equate food and clothing.

Bus Service—Railway companies offer to establish bus feeder dines to rail lines so that all sections of the city will be adequately served, issu- ing transfers between street Car lines and bus lines, 12. Paralleling Bus Service—The Los Angeles Railway, If the City so de- sires, will install bus lines paralleling its rail lines on streets selected by the City, on permits issued by the Board of Public Utilities, to determine it such a service is desirable and will not add unreasonably to the present traffic congestion. These ree may be cancelled by the city, id the ser- vice discontinued, at any time. 13. Bus Prohibited in Congested Dis- trict—In 1917 the City of Los An- geles, by vote of the people, prohib- ited the operation of jitneys on its streets on account of added conges- tion and unwarranted paralleling of street railways. 14. Extension cf Lines Into Holly- wood and Universal Transfera—The City of Los Angeles, the State Rail- road Commission, and the two electric railways are now making a survey to determine how the two street rail- ways in the city of Los Angeles can be operated as one system. Extensions of lines and universal transfers are both economic questions and can only be determined in an or- derly way as is now being done. hThe street railways of Los Angele the transportation needs of Los Ange! orized investments for this purpose, ¢ 200,000.00 within the last year alone, f Applications have ‘been before the B 10th, 1922, in effort to get city autho vice uaxUlary to car lines.

Geo. E. Cryer, Mayor of Los Angeles. It is our opinion that he has en- tertained-a very friendly feeling towards our people. He has, of his own free will and accord, secured a promotion for Miss Homer Stapler who is, perhaps, the only representative of out race employed in a;clerical capacity in the City Governmeat. This promotion carries \with it an increase in salary. Several other appointments have been made in the Police Department. Each received the endorsement of Mayor Cry- er. He also championed the cause of thos Colored Officers who were dismissed from the service on charges which, in his just estimation, were not sufficient, but which in the absence of that discretion, would have produced an unfavorable result. These men are working now. They have proven worthy of the con. sideration shown them. Under\Mayor Cryer’s administratior five Colored Officers have been promoted from Detective Ser. geants to Lieutenants, a signal honor to our group and an eco nomic stimulus to their families. More Colored men have been appointed to the Police Force during his term of office thar have been under the combined periods of any two Mayors. Or the basis of population and’ representation, he has given em: ployment to our men in the Park Departnient of the City, eack instance denoting a salary commensurate\with the time and labor pursued. ‘i WHAT WILL BE DONE IN THE RUTURE Perhaps the most marked achievement fdr us in the near future will be the establishment of a Fire House, to be occupied solely by our group. This progress is not the ‘outgrowth of an effort to segregate or ostracize Colored citizens, but rather it hastens and prepares the development of that day when our people will take on the responsibilities which their citizenship demands. It is simply a victory made possible through com- bined efforts. We say “vctory” advisedly, for a new Fire House would give us 16 more Colored firemen, four of which would be technically licensed engineers, drawing salaries pro rated by the Commission. Two other officers of superior rank would follow as a result. The approximate pay of these men would be, for the individual, $170.00 per month, or $2040.00 per annum. This number multiplied by 16 would approximate the sum paid our men by the City Government. Their salaries approach something like $24,480.00 annually; with 16 more men added the sum would reach $57,120.00 every twelve months. ‘The difference between winning and losing this fight means a matter of thousands of dollars for our people. A vote for CRYER is a step joweree the realization of a race Fire House. St. Paul, Minnesota, has one. It was procured in the manner which we now suggest to you—that to give your sup- port to the candidate’ who sees the need, propriety and benefit of those rapid changes and developments.

At Camp We arrived in camp at about 4:00 o'clock Friday afternoon, being on the road exactly 24 hours, due to the many stoppages we were forced tc make; ordinarily it is a pleasant 18 hour drive. ‘We found more at the camp than we expected, for on glancing around there were bunks, or cabins, every. where; the first that we wended our way to, of course, was the cook house.

WOOD WILSON SAYS Motor Busses Unqualified Success in Other Cities | _\ statement on the success of wotor ‘bus operation in the large cities of the country. where motor busses have op- crated. was issued this week by, the People’s Motor Bus Campaign Com- mittee in furtherance of its project to expend approximately two million do!- lars to give the people of Los Angeles additional transportation facilities The statement of the Committee points out that in New York City motor busses have been in operation for a considerable number of years, operate ‘on various streets, have had no appreciable effect. toward wearing out the pavements and have in no de- xree added to the trafic congestion. In this connection the Committee quoted telegranys received this week hy Marco MH. Hellman, president oi the People’s Motor Bus Company. One-telepgram reads: “Transportation hy motor _ busses has proved a great success in New York City, Three hundred -are op- erated unde? city supervision. j Bus op- eration started September. 1919."

Wood ,a strong construc- tive man of affairs, is a winning can- didate for the Council, and will receive a hearty, support from all classes. In the light of the action of one of the would-be aspirants for the Council, the action of Sidney P. Dones stands out in holt relief as a man who polit- ically would not stand in the way of success for the race. When Fred Rob- erts seemed to have the best chance live years ago, Attorney Mr. Dones had his petition signed and already Hiiled, he gracefully stood aside and gave "his hearty support to Roberts, who was elected.

Among the pub- lie-spirited organizations with which Mr. Jacobson is affiliated are the As- sociated Secretaries, Los Angeles Transportation Club, and the Fran- chise Motor Carrier's Association, of which last body he is secretary. Mr. Jacobson’s candidacy has been enthusiastically endorsed by a num- ber of eepresentative Los Angeles bus- iness men, who are fully acquainted with his ability, high ideals in busi- ness and in politics, and his frre- proachable integrity, and who believe that he would be of real service to the public as a Councilman.

The meet was feature with very fasi time and keen compe titton. Six records were broken, twc were tied and the national scholasti eightman one-mile relay record was broken by Hollywood high school with the lively time of 3 min. 6 3-5 seconds Manual Arts formerly held the record of 3 min. 7 seconds. Many Colored athletes competed and starred for their schools. Chief among them was Archie Woodyard. Jefferson High flyer. who smashed the city mark for the 220 year dash, by winning it in 22.1. The judges gave him second in the 100 yard dash but there are many who believe that he beat the Pasadena flash, Pollack. Ac- cording to Maxwell Stiles. writing for the Examiner: “Woodyard of Jeffer- son set a new record in the 220 on a straightaway of 22 1-5, and in the 100 yard dash he ran almost a dead heat with Pollack . Photographs of the finish show Woodyard actually won the race, although the judges gave it to Pollack. The boys were within half an inch of each other and Pol- lack had a lane nearer the judges than Woodyard had drawn.” Whizar of Pasadena placed third in the blue ribbon event and helped his team to finish second in the relay. He has been a consistent point win- ner throughout the season. Hurlic, also of Pasadena aided bis Alma Mater by grabbing fifth in the century, second in the broad jump and running the fastest lap in the relay. Charles Diggs was handicapped with an injured leg and consequently did not place in the high hurdles, ai- though he qualified for the event on Wednesday. Diggs ran the first lap in the relay for L. A. and his perform- ance was good considering his con- dition. George Duncan of Lincoln finished fifth in the 220 yard dash. ran a fine race in the first lap of the relay. An- GREAT SALT LAKE By: Wendell P. Gladden, Jr. Unique is the setting and beautifyl. Just beyond Og- den, Utah, to the west, a chain of rugged, cloud-covered, sun-swept, and sometimes hardly discernable peaks en- circle an immense body of water. It is the great Salt Lake. On crossing this lake, a journey of about thirty miles, lookng far out on either side, one notes gaps be- tween the mountains where the little sea rolls on. But - the peaks loom up to join the circular chain again. Now the eyes begin to trace slowly the innumerable, converging paths of salt, to follow carefully their ragged borders back to the train, where, just below, they break on the cold and colorful rock, only to retreat in beds of foam. Westward, there is a small peninsular, a break in the flowing lake. To the north, a huge bowl of brimming red water shimmers in the morning sunlight. Again, the lake calls, fascinates! How much lke the sea it is; but there is never a ship, no, never the pictures; que sail to break the lake’s clear clean edge. Ah! so much like the sea, with fluteering sea gulls gliding and dippng and swaying in their play; only the mountains and low flat foot hills continually pierce the background of azure. 3 ‘Here and there can be seen immovable dried lakes of salt not unlike the tin of sand. No sea gulls are here, on- ly bits of shrubbery on their surfaces, and sometimes lit- tle meandering golden streams. There is a loneliness and sadness prevailing as one looks upon the rain-trailed hills and mountains in the distance, and the desolate expanse at hand. Farther, the water s salt and yellow on the one side of _ the narrow roadway, fresh and almost crystal on the oth- er win the same upturned cup of bine hanging over. bak e, green and glistening and rippling now, restless still, how many warriors and chiefs of lost nations have gazed in wonderment upon your surface, rhythmic and tumbling! What is the hushed song you sing? Why do you wail when you have.strength, and power far su- x to man? You,are so vast, yet, you complain. What is your sorrow, O, lake? Is it that Death stalks a and silent on your depths immeasurable? I can. help you, little sea. I also bring my grief there .in quiet communion with you, but can not groan, for you are so:vast and wonderful, your voice utters a thousand tones oeiaeess, while Frepinigtay weak so salt O lake, I surrender. my -boen.of woe-to.you am amazed again ‘sat your beauty;-and immensity-supreme. ~ IVAN JOHNSON WINS: QUARTER IN ARIZONA TRACK MEET “Ivan Johnson, the U" SC” quarter: miler. stepped the 440 yeards in 52 ‘seconds for first place in the U.

DASH IN SAN FERNANDO MEET In the San Fernando Invitional track and field meet held in the valley town last Saturday. Ted Shaw of Mon- rovia, won third place in the finals of 220 yards. He placed second in the first heat of the half-lap event, and second in the first heat of the cen- tury, Ted equalled the Central Lea- gue werk of 101 adie days ano. other year may find him a very har man to beat.

Leroy Johnson of Manual Arts placed seventh in the half-mile race. Hanson a team-mate won the event and tied the city record of 2 minutes 145 seconds. We'll say Johnson was in fast company. This is Johnson's last year of track at the Toiler insti- tution. Clarence Brothers of Manual ran the first lap for the toiler team. He has been consistent this year. He is handicapped with the loss of one orm, but has done 10.2 many times. and he aided Manual in placing third in the relay Hurd of Lincoln did not qualify for the quarter-mile last Wednesday. but was there for Lincoln in the eight- man affair Bisco competed for Jefferson in the discus throw. though he did not place he showed his class and will with an- other season be heard from. g The Good Samaritan.

CESSFUL WEEK IN LOS ANGELES “Struttin’ Along,” the musical com- edy sensation of the season, in con- nection with Mamie Smith, celebrated record star, and her jazz hounds, opened at the Philharmonic Auditor- ium last Monday night. under direc- tion of Ackerman and Harris, and proved to be one of the fastest shows ever to perform on the coast. Moving picture stars and other lo- cal artists were among the first to at- tend, all proclaiming the performance . More than thirty-one hundred peoplecrowded into the auditorium during the Yeek and were highly en- tertained. The first act began with a snappy scene “Down on the Old Plantation,” in- which Frisco Nick, William Pier- son, and Richard Courtney were fea- tured in .ome very good comedy. They | were assisted by a chorus of about twenty-five girls. John Rucker and Sid Perrin were a scream in ‘An Afro-Chinese Fracas.” These funny comedians won the au- dience with their humor and dancing, and received much applause. In Strut three, Susie Hurst and Jes- sica Derneck offered a clever little ‘dancing aud singing ‘act in “A Bit of Carolina Sunshine.” At the opening of the next scene the sweet harmony and unusual touch of syncopation of Mamie Smith's fa- mous Jazz Hounds pleased. The New York Favorite came forth’ in beauti- ful and gorgeous costume, and ren- dered several jazz numbers, and was jalso well-received. This scene served e the peak of the climax of the first act. The Sheik’s Harem scene was elab- orat, and realistic with Bee Blake as the sheik’s favorite, Frisco Nick, the sheik, the favorite's dancers, sheik’s counsellors, slaves and harem danc- ers. It was colorful with just enough comedy and wit and excellent danc- ing by Zoe Ramee and Carolyne Snowder to make it light and appeal- ing. There was some clever dancing by the shefk, and singing.” : Sid Perrin, as the Chinese, together with John Rucker, Richard Courtney Eddie Anderson, Katherine Reese, and William Pierson, in “The Railroad Accident” proved to be a sensation | Perrin's dancing was commendable. |" Three more scenes concluded, the ‘| program.

It is within our knowledge that you were a close friend of Rev. Dennis, so it is needless for us to recite his many excellent qualities that so en- deared him to all who knew him. We only address you at this time that you may have an opportunity to subscribe to the fund that will be raised. Al- though your subscription may not reach us by the date of the Memorial Service it will be acceptable at any- time, and you are advised to make your remittance to Mrs. I. B. Reed, same payable to Memorial Committee of Third Baptist Church. Mrs. Reed is our Church Clerk and resides dt 339 Kirkham Street, San Francisco. ‘Thanking you in advance for your co-operation and for whatever amount you may give, ‘We are Yours in Christ, Rev. J, L. ALLEN, Pastor. T. COX, Chairman Board of Deacons, B, L. TYRELL, Chairman Trustee Board. J. M. THOMPSON, Chairman of Committee. A Orval Anderson, Secretary of Committee. Mrs. I. B. REED, Church Clerk. THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH— Cor of Clay and Hyde Streets. San Francisco, Calif. ‘April 13th, 1923. April 1otn, Loce, Dr. H. D. Prowd, 749 Ceres Avenue, Los Angeles, Calif. Dear Dr. Prowd: I take this liberty to address you concerning enclosed matter, as we de- sire that you do your utmost to swell the subscription in Los Angeles, and would like for you and Rev. . L. Griffith whom I have written, to join forces and arouse as much interest in the affair as possible. I also beg to state that any amount derived in the fund over what is required, to erect the monument will be given to the widow, Mrs. Dennis. There is quite a bit of talk about not installing the Memorial window but simply erect the monument and turn the balance over to Mrs. Dennis as g contribution from the public. I failed to state so in-the appeal enclosed herewith as it is somewhat delicate, although it is known that Mrs.’ Dennis was left without anything, owing to Rev. Den- nis’ overwhelming charity, as you may yourself know. I trust you will find it advisable to take charge of the Los Angeles end of the subscription joint- ly with Rev. T. L, Griffith, and that you will be able to raise a handsome amount. Thanking you for your interest, and success in your work, I am, Yours in Christ, Orval’ Anderson, Secretary of Memorial Committee.
