Sh ‘We have heard much conversation about the major role which veterans of World War I and Wo 1d War II will play in this year’s elections. In theSecond: Congressional District, where we live, we shall have an opportunity to see just how co-operat‘ive veterans can be in electing one of their own members, Don Hoffman of Placerville, veteran of both world warrs, against an incumbent, Clai Engle, who ‘did not choose’’ to serve in the U. S. armed forces eons the hate war. The election of Hoffman is a foregone conclusion if the veterans make up their minds in time, and go out with their whole4thearted support to defeat Engle, who has actually accomplished nothing in his three years in office aside from securing Congressional approval to giving. Yuba ‘Narrows dam the nanfe of Harry L. Englebright. Perhaps we should give Engle: credit for his endeavors in getting . the iniquitous L208 order lifted . which his fellow New Dealers had used to @lose the gold mines during . the war. To that extent hé has been of some actual service to his district . though how much‘he had to do with . lifting the New Deal ban is shrouded in the fog what hangs over Washington,D._C, And perhaps we should not forget the bills, each one of which was introduced with a resounding and which, in most cases, died of pernicious enaamia, bills, most of them, but somehow they did not attract much attention outside Engle’s office and his publicity secretary. She always had a good word for them and passed them along with a tromlbone solo to the Press. hurrah have since Good The infant martality among Representative Enigle’s bills, amounting to alegmt 100 per“ cent, leaves us wondering just what use Engle could possibly be to his constituents next year when the House of Representatives will have a large Republican majority. For his mere futile presence there will always remind that majority that:out west in the count y’s biggest congressional istrict habit is stronger than conviction. We ould probably suffer unfer the s s. would probably suffer under the majority’s contempt for a district that, though having its biggest industry, gold mining, singled out: by tong haired and long nosed New Deal reformers for a vicious punishment in the sacred name of war emergency, it still preferred to send a representatove of the same discredited political breed back to congress. We appeal to war veteran Hofftman who has fought through two world wars in his country’s uniform, to rally his late comrades in arms and take this futile New Dealer off the back of the Second District. We ‘believe it will not be hard to do. This is the year when the country thas made up its mind that it will no tonger permit a small coterie of miediocrities to ‘“‘tax and tax’? and “elect and elect.” and “spend and #pend’’, and thus run and ruin a nation of 135 milion people. . Even ‘President Truman senses the change in national sentiment. He talks now of very definitely approaching the time when we shall have a: balanced budget. He talks about it, but so far has done nothing to lift a feather’s weight from monstrous burden of the taxation. His fine talk about guaranteeing everyone in a taxed cursed land, a job, sounds, to us very much like putting all the industrious and hard working citizens of this country to work supporting bigger and better poor houses. It sounds like spending billions more to pauperize a country that left to itself is naturally thifty and self-sustaining. The philosophy which -gave rise to the late Harry Hopkins declaration regarding taxing and spending, -‘s still very much alive in Washington. ; The way fo kill it, is to deprive _ those representatives who “believe the way to maintain themselves is . to tax and tax and to spend . and spend, is to go to the polls and vote to remove them from the U.S. TreaeNEVADA —AND— SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS FIFTY YEARS AGO CIVy AGO NEVADA CITY 50 YEARS AGO A Page for Nevada City: Thursday’s edition of the San Francisco Post contains a full page write up of (Nevada City and her mining interests.
