Southern Californian GEO. C KNOX, EDITOR. SATURDAY ... MAR. 22, 1873 L. P. FISHER, 20 and 21 New Merchants' Exchange, is our authorized Agent in San Francisco Why Los Angeles County Should be Divided. Although the reasons, which have influenced the citizens of the Southern portion of Los Angeles county, to attempt the division of the county, are perfectly understood by the older residents, having been thoroughly canvassed during the past election campaign, still it would not be wise to make a brief mention of them at the present time, for the information of those who have settled in our section during the past twelve months. The county of Los Angeles has an area of over six thousand square miles, though a large portion of it is but sparsely inhabited, being either a desert or mountainous and barren. That portion of the county which is thickly settled is contained within an area of two thousand square miles, of an irregular shape, 70 miles long, with an average width of 30 miles. Near the northern extremity of this tract is situated the county seat—Los Angeles. The inconvenience resulting from this location, to those who live in the southern part of the county and who must visit the county seat to transact their legal business, is apparent. To remedy the matter, the county seat must be more centrally located, with reference to the population, or the county must be divided. The town of Los Angeles polls one-half of the votes cast in an election and controls the one sixth vote of the mining districts, lying north of the city; consequently it would be absurd to entertain the first proposition. It is a well-known fact that the interests of the inhabitants of large towns are diametrically opposed to those of people living in smaller areas. EDITORIAL NOTES An attempt is now being made by Alabama Legislature to pass an act, known as the "social equality" bill. A bill on same nature was carried through Louisiana Legislature about five years ago and, but for the veto of Gov. Warmouth, would have become a law of affairs existing in the southern part of the Union. Wera Congress to enclose the whites in these states it will be possible for them to rotest them at the polls, and by sending to their native halla true men, prevent the passage of obnoxious acts, calculated to do the peace and harmony which should be in law abiding communities. As if the present time, the only voters are baggers and negroes, who elect representatives of the people, the vice vile. Sumner presented a resolution to the United States Senate some time to obliterate the inscriptions on regional battle-flags, in order to restore feeling. Had he brought forward a solution to obliterate—the carpet-ball there would have been some sense in La Cronica es un periodico muy vivo muy bien conducida en su departement editorial.

New Advertisements NOTICE. There will be a meeting of the county of the South eastern portion of Los Angeles county—without regard to parties held at Anaheim, on Saturday the 12th day of April next, to conscript such measures as may be proper to be pursued in relation to division of the county; also to sell to transact their legal business, is apparent. To remedy the matter, the county seat must be more centrally located, with reference to the population, or the county must be divided. The town of Los Angeles polls one-half of the votes cast in an election and controls the one sixth vote of the mining districts, lying north of the city; consequently it would be absurd to entertain the first proposition. It is a well-known fact that the interests of the inhabitants of large towns are diametrically opposed to those of people living in the country. Should, therefore, a town be of sufficient size to assume control of the public funds, to the detriment of a portion of the community, it is the duty of the guardians of the people—the Legislature—to separate the two conflicting interests upon receiving proper representations that such a course will result in good. Los Angeles county is a striking illustration of the injustice inflicted upon the minority, from a union of town and country. In no single instance has a concession been made to the wishes of the farming community; in every case has the expenditure of its public funds been to benefit the citizens of its county seat. Four years ago an attempt was made to divide the county, and by the exertions of the late lamented Major Strobel, was almost made a success. Since that time large additions have been made to the county indebtedness, resulting in no good to the southern part of the county, on the contrary provoking detrimental to it by an increase of taxation. Fearing a division of the county, a court-house was bought for a large sum of money. The house purchased was an old one, and now it is rumored, that it will be necessary to construct in a short time an entirely new building. In the late contest for the railroad subsidy, the wants and wishes of those outside of Los Angeles were completely ignored, and a donation was made to the company, which promised everything to the town, and nothing to the country. Three large bridges have been built over the San Gabriel and Los Angeles rivers, at a cost of $60 000. An attempt was made to locate the only one of the bridges, in which we could have any interest, to suit the wishes of the people of this section. Our supervisor was over-ruled and the structure was placed at a point on the river accessible only in very dry seasons. The mania for building has seized the citizens of Los Angeles, and we at this end of the county must contribute to a new jail. To remain with the town, a yearly increase of taxation is a certainty; to cut loose from them, it is not only possible, but probable, that taxation may be decreased. The only seemingly valid objection, which has ever been made to county division by the opponents of the measure, is that we are unable financially to carry on an independent county government.

The only seemingly valid objection, which has ever been made to county division by the opponents of the measure, is that we are unable financially to carry on an independent county government. We have in the new county twelve hundred voters. Their taxable property is valued at $3,000,000, or nearly one-third of the taxable property in the county. One third of the present county indebtedness must be paid by our people, whether in or out of the old regime. Ten thousand dollars or one tenth of the money required to build the new jail, will be amply sufficient to construct all our public buildings; if we remain in the county, $30,000 will be required of this section for this prison alone. Under the act authorizing the creation of a new county, drawn up and presented to the Legislature of 1869-70 for their action, the sum-total of the salaries to be paid to county officers was less than $20,000, which is the amount required of us at the present time. From these figures it will be seen that our section can carry on a separate county government for less money than is now required to defray our portion of the expenses in the present county: consequently the objection raised to our secession is not good. In the new county, its citizens can use their own discretion in the disposition of the public funds; in the new county, the surplus cash can be devoted impartially to public improvements from one extremity to the other; in the new county, economy and thrift can decrease the public debt; in the old county, past experience shows for the future, nothing but waste, reckless expenditure and financial ruin. TORIAL NOTES. It is now being made in the legislature to pass an act, known and equality" bill. A bill of the was carried through the Legislature about five years ago for the veto of Governor would have become a law. It pressing to note the end state setting in the southern portion Were Congress to enfranchise in these states it would for them to rotest themselves and by sending to their legislative men, prevent the passage of acts, calculated to disturb harmony which should exist among communities. As it is, at time, the only voters are carpet-negroes, who elect as the votes of the people, the vilest of summer presented a resolution.
