Book Synopsis John Randolph Haynes by : Tom Sitton
Download or read book John Randolph Haynes written by Tom Sitton and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For four decades, John Randolph Haynes (1853-1937) was in the forefront of social-reform crusades and political action in Los Angeles and California, with his most important legacies in the fields of direct legislation and public ownership of utilities. He was the individual most responsible for the adoption of the initiative, referendum, and recall in Los Angeles in 1902 and in California in 1911. His vigilant protection of these measures thereafter and his promotion of direct legislation throughout the nation earned him the title "father of direct legislation" in California. From 1910 until his death, Haynes's chief priority was to shape the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power into a glowing example of public ownership of utilities. Today, LADWP operates the world's largest municipal water and electrical power generation and distribution system, continuing to serve the needs of an ever-growing region whose extent even Haynes could not have envisaged. In many ways, Haynes is an enigma. He was not a typical progressive, having amassed a fortune in his medical practice and in real estate, mining, and other capitalistic ventures. However, he spent a large portion of his wealth to promote a form of gradual, democratic socialism in the United States. Haynes advocated the transformation of the nation's economy and government, yet he campaigned for morality laws that limited personal freedom. Haynes's motivation was not social status or money, both of which he had before his conversion to social reform. Nor was it political power: he never ran for office (except as a temporary freeholder) or created a personal political machine. His primary motive was a perhaps arrogant yet honest desire to aid in the creation of a more just society by improving the living and working conditions of the less fortunate. In one way or another, Haynes participated in all the major social and political events that shaped California and Los Angeles in a most dynamic era of their development. In a broader sense, Haynes's life serves as a yardstick with which to measure other progressives of his time and as a key for understanding the motivation of those idealists who helped shape our present political institutions.
Book Synopsis Inventing the Dream by : Kevin Starr
Download or read book Inventing the Dream written by Kevin Starr and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1986-12-04 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume in Kevin Starr's passionate and ambitious cultural history of the Golden State focuses on the turn-of-the-century years and the emergence of Southern California as a regional culture in its own right. "How hauntingly beautiful, how replete with lost possibilities, seems that Southern California of two and three generations ago, now that a dramatically diferent society has emerged in its place," writes Starr. As he recreates the "lost California," Starr examines the rich variety of elements that figured in the growth of the Southern California way of life: the Spanish/Mexican roots, the fertile land, the Mediterranean-like climate, the special styles in architecture, the rise of Hollywood. He gives us a broad array of engaging (and often eccentric) characters: from Harrision Gray Otis to Helen Hunt Jackson to Cecil B. DeMille. Whether discussing the growth of winemaking or the burgeoning of reform movements, Starr keeps his central theme in sharp focus: how Californians defined their identity to themselves and to the nation.

Download or read book Hiram Johnson written by Michael A. Weatherson and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1995 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weatherson and Bochin provide a comprehensive portrait of Hiram Johnson, a remarkable man who spent 34 years in the service of his country. As governor of California from 1911 to 1916, he oversaw increased regulation of the Southern Pacific Railroad, supported legislation that improved working conditions, and established commissions that regulated government expenditures and strengthened the civil service. Johnson gained a national reputation both as a progressive and a speaker and was elected to the United States Senate in 1916, where he served until his death in 1945. Johnson was so popular in his home state that he often was renominated by both the Republican and Democratic parties. Contents: Early Courtroom Speaking: Preparing for Political Life; The First Crusade: Running Against the Southern Pacific; The Election of 1912: Campaigning with Roosevelt; Second Term as Governor: Returning to the Republican Party; "Follow That Train: " Attacking Wilson and the League; "The Issue is America: " Seeking the Presidential Nomination; Critic of Coolidge and Hoover: Fighting the Conservative Reaction; New Deal and Neutrality: The Final Speeche

Book Synopsis Technology as Freedom by : Ronald C. Tobey
Download or read book Technology as Freedom written by Ronald C. Tobey and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before 1930, the domestic market for electrical appliances was segmented, but New Deal policies and programs created a true mass market, reshaping the electrical and housing markets and guiding them toward mandated social goals. The New Deal identified electrical refrigeration as a key technology to reform domestic labor, raise family health, and build family assets. New Deal incentives led to nearly fifty percent of Title I National Housing Act loans being used to buy electric refrigerators in the 1930s. New Deal policies ultimately created the mass commodity culture of home-owning families that typified the conservative 1950s.
