Borough, Rube | July 6, 1927 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on law and order in Los Angeles, California. Law and order suppressing "radicals" and other social disreputables is confident, belligerently verbose, forthright in action. Law and order suppressing "respectables" is stricken with qualms of "conscience," talks not so long nor so loud and cautiously tests the ground before it moves. Law and order in Los Angeles today faces the "respectables." Thirty-five of the city's most eminent bankers and business men have been indicted for looting the Julian Petroleum Corporation of from $12,000,000 to $18,000,000 in usurious interest charges and flooding the market with 4,250,000 worthless "overissued" shares of stock.
