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. Peo5sle who veant to overthrow the only

Nevada County Farm Is
Sold For $7000
From the courthouse steps yesLi terday afternoon, County Clerk R.
N. 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.

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.
The Kansas City Star reports that
. Whitehouse expenses under Truman
for t fiscal year starting July 1
will be increased more than 100 per
