———= . Thakmg ity Nugget 7 Wevede Out Loud. COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA: By H. M. L. It was reallly time that a red herring was dragged over the trail of California ‘‘reds.’’ With the “ecenomy bloc’’ in full cry after the governor’s relief set-up, and the governor ' himself so hard pressed: that he threy a.communistic gent named Plunkett to the pack, and with the majority of the state legislature, dividing its time between the budget debate and a discussion of whether or’ not the relief administration be given a thorough probing, the red herring makes its appearance. The governor produces some ‘‘confidential correspondence” :LOPMENT ISSUE between two underlings in the State Chamber of Commerce and demands of the Vol. 13, No. 30. NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The pee!

The state of commerce, by chamber ers. Whether the governor includes them or not, the tax payers are still the “people.” The tax payers who foot the bill for the state’s tremendous expenses. The ‘will’ of the tax payers is to prevent an increase in taxes and if possible to reduce them. It is*ilgo the “will” of the tax payers to prevent gov ernmental experiments in labor and capital relations which might disrupt industry, agriculture or commerce, and ‘thereby prevent a return to prosperous conditions. The tax payers, as a mattter of fact,, constitute all the ‘‘people,’”’ because even the dust bowlers, pay taxes in some form. It is perhaps true ‘that the state chamber does represent ‘the property owners of ‘Caifornia, ‘who pay the greater part of the taxes. But even so, if the bigger tax payers who, as a Tule are also big employers of labor are ‘relieved of some of their tax burden the way is opened to employment for many of the ‘little tax payers, who only pay hidden taxes. What ired the governor, of course, is the fact that the state chamber ‘was prepared to deal practically with legislation affect.ing labor and capital. The CIO or AFL cam -bring all the ‘pressure they can muster, above board or underground, ‘to get legislation through, but we shall never hear a peep from Mr. Olson on that score. An investigation, if it could be started, would lead the public eye away from 'the vital subject of the governor’s record breaking budget, and its huge relief expenditure proposals which ‘the legislature is trying to prune, But semate lead ers, both conservative, Democrats and Republicans, fortunately, refuse to be diverted.
