BENSON My President--Harding College Searcy, Arkansas Radicalism ‘2»Undoubtedly Karl Marx, father of Communism, had a noble purpose. He aimed to relieve the world’s oppressed people, to correct injustices and get rid of poverty. That would be fine. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a platform that flatly favors what’s right ahd opposes what’s wrong. The next.step is getting everybody to agree on what’s right and what’s wrong. Followers of the profound ‘Marx didn’t all see eye-to-eye with him after he left first-base. He was obliged to ‘‘run out’ on the First Internationale and disband it because it was being used by a gang of-ruffians, more bent on wrecking what was in sight than on building a new social order according to a noble plan. The leader and his followers were not of the same calibre. They Misunderstood Setting out to make a big reform that required changing the motives of a large number of people, Marx recruited many followers without changing their motives. It was ironic. There is a story of a good mayor. who campaigned so vigorously to get better railroad service for his city that his political followers went radical, derailed the fast train and robbed the mail car. The story is probably fictitious but it illustrates aptly how selfish intentions can be mustered under the banner of holy and lofty aims. Already, this year, news wires have . carried a story about leaders in the: Communist movement addressing large audiences of working: men
and ‘‘whooping it up’” for strikes, more strikes and bigger strikes; that is, for panic. A Political Disease It is not that Labor, considered broadly, is destructive in character or shot through with Communistic ideas, . It’s: not. true.. 1t. 18 true however that working people are numerous and therefore a powerful segment of American society.

M.cCormack sold at public auction the ounty farm of 37.78 arres, owned by the county for 30 years for $7,000. The successful ‘bidder was C. F. Shamberger, Grass Valley business man. The board of supervisors paid $3400 for the farm in 1916 for the purpose of growing fruits, vegetables and diairy products for the county hospital.” Carl J.Tobiassen now the sheriff of the county was» employed by the supervisors to produce the needed commodities. When the board of supervisors discontinued system of growing its own farm supplies the place was leased to Tobiassen for $30 per month. Shamberger started the bidding yesterday at $3,500. Other bidders were George B. Crosby and Mrs. L. . B, Gates. County Clerk McCormack stated that title would be delivered to the new owner in 60 days. The farm, located in Willow Valley just outside the city contains ten acres of very fertile soil. MARRIAGE LICENSES (Cox-Cherington—In Nevada City, April 6, 1946 Rarold L.

It can’t be ; done without them. : { Communism has failed exactly as often as it has been tried, and Karl Marx has been dead more than sixty years. This doctrine of ‘tear down in haste and rebuild at leisure’? has been tried on Americgn soil. Time after time, each experiment at having everything in common, comes down of its own poison and dies or relapses into a dictatorease. A Social Epidemic Russia is called a Communistic nation but it is far. from it. The government set out in that direction once, broke down propefty lines, degraded the family to baudy level, overthrew the church, rejected God and bogged down in abject poverty. Now it is being run by a minority party, made up of some 3% of the citizens, and nobody else can even vote. A sorry situation they have. Under a dictatorship Russia is doing a little better than it did under Communism but still is nothing to brag about. Russian wages are not more than a third as high as those in America. If the average Russian farmer should visit the average American farmer he would think he was in a king’s palace. There is a cure for this plague and gext week I’ll write about that. AIR LINE CHOOSES S. F. FOR BASE SAIN FRANCISCO, April 11—San Franciscos position ag the west’s great air terminal was strengthened this week with the announcement that United Air Lines will establish at San Francisco airport the maintenance and overhaul base for its entiree nationwide system. A factor in the air line’s decision to locate \its big base here was the action of San Francisco voters last November in voting a $20,000,000 ‘bond issue for improvement of the . municipal airport. This will make it possible to provide additional land for the airline’s project which will require a total of half a million square feet. The propect will provide 800 new jobs before the end of the year and a total of 6000 jobs before the end of 191515. (Meanwhile the city planning oommission has approved a survey looking toward a joint airlines transportation teerminal for San Francisco “which would provide a central point from which passengers could be transported to the airport.
