From nection of November 2nd, there ave -emerged factors dst the American people billions dollars in taxes and in inflated pices The defeat of a. large prosortion of ‘congressmen who Woted for the Taft-Hartley Act may greatly affect the economic fature of the United States. " e+ he ’ Even now we are undergoing another, a fourth, round of strikes and wage increases. Whatever gains are made by labor will be wat ie. the working man makes. It is true food may take a down turn next year, due to our enorthous. production of grains, but “even there, there is some doubt, with the Marshall plan in full Operation, whether the consumers will reap any benefit. Another angle of. the overwhelming _Democratic_vietory is the likelihood that President Truman will press for his civil rights bill. We do believe Truman wh he says he wants.a icvduehioule overhaul of the diseriminatory Jaws against the black people of the South. As matters stand today most Southern resented in Congress by men élected by a trifling minority of the population. In some of the states the poll tax bars a majority of both whites and blacks from voting. But we know from experience what the introduction of,such a bill would do’ to the machinery of Congress. A Senate minority would talk-it to death, while other. urgent business of the nation waited. e h ‘A single achievement of -the Republican congress, -the TaftHartley Labor Act, the president has pledged to repeal as soon as he can. It does: not seem likely that this will be accomplished s0 quickly and easily as assumed. There are many good features of the laws as it now. stands. We surmise the Republicans and the Southern Democrats will merge forced union officers to go into dabor bill to be ,introduced. For instance, the Taft-Hartley Act, forced unior officers to go .into the’ National Labor Relations Board with clean hands. They had to swear they were. not Commuhists. That’s the chief reason there has ben no settlement of the “Iongshoremen’s strike on the Pacific Coast. Harry Bridges did not wish to perjure ‘himself. He remembers so many other’ who were tripped and thrown into jail for perjury.: e he & The one thing that seems to have stood fim through the political tornado through which we have passed in the recent election, is U. §. foreign policy. Our state department and the administration,. plus. both.-Republican-—and Democratic party members. having to do with foreign policy, have settled on a well defined policy. It will halt the spread of Communism by every economic means possible, and if that fails it will defend the ideals of Christian Democracy with arms. Unless Truman has another aberration, like the Fred Vinson idea, we seem to have put our hand to the plow and will not deviate from our course, & & Republicans can look forward to'another four years of opposing New Dealism. Roosevelt may be dead but his spendthrift spirit goes marching’ on. If Dewey had been elected we believe a strong curb would ‘have been placed onthe alphabet agencies, the little oligarchies that exist to eat and eat to exist in other words, we should have had a ehance to reduce governmental costs and inean, "aE BIRD DOG CLUB HOLDS FIELD TRIALS AT CAMP BEALE CAMP BEALE (Yuba Co.): The Central Valley Bird Dog Club re* cently reported their .field trials held at Camp Beale a_ success, and announced that they would hold their next trials there in the, spring. : A total of 49 dogs were entered in the trials and owners repre{ s Spo~ kane. ‘ Competition was divided into thrée classifications.
