Are we slipping into the habit of making the ends justify the means? Have we lost te honest talent of speaking our minds on matters that affect public welfare or national well being? These questions rise to mind when one considers the attitude of Congress, representatives and senators. Here is a great national question ending, of probably more importance than anything which has happened to the people since the founding of the Republic. Our spokesMen, our public servants in Congress, are as a whole, making such exhibition of poltroonery as has rarely been witnessed since Christ was born, A very large proportion of our representatives, speaking quite frankly are selling their votes to the President for patronage.’ They are not representing us at all. They are representing themselves first, the New ‘Deal second, and their country last and least. The game is this: First Congress abdicates and votes into the hands of the nation’s chief executive billions of dollars, to meet and overcome’ a great national depression, in other words an emergency commensurate with and comparable with the:emergency of a world war. At least we have the assurance of every cheap demogogue and politician that such is the case. Then second, having turned over to’ the chief executive a vast authority along with half the gold in the world and all of the credit in the United States, these same demagogues that represent us in Congress proceed to toady and lick the boots of all those designated by ‘President to dispense alms on a scale never before seen in this wor!¢ in order that they, by judiciously distributing ‘‘relief’’, may gather together a solid minority of voters avid and greedy for the sweet pickings that flow from the public treasand thereby perpetuate themDeal (not the power. ury, selves and the New Democratic Party)’ in And to accomplish this, the highest authority, the most exalted personage in our land, the President of the United States, declares that owing to the ‘‘age’’ of our Supreme Court members, they must be assisted by six more judges, appointed by himself, conformed by the complacent senate, and seated, actually, to rubber stamp whatever “beneficent” measure our President chooses to give us. At first President Roosevelt gave the age of the Supreme Court justices as a reason for this wholesale rejuvenation of the court. But finally driven from this argument by the statement of his own Attorney General that the Supreme Court was abreast of its calendar, he acknowledges, in one of his later addresses that the reason for this change, is due to the fact that he wishes to do things ‘‘now.”’ Where-as last November he stated in effect that the country was and would continue to be prosperous, he suddenly pitches us back into the middle of the depression, with the cry that certain emergency legislation must be passed ‘’now.”’ We are now it seems in the midst of a perpetual emergency. This is what we mean by devious methods. Why did not he say before election that he proposed to revamp and rejuvenate the Supreme Court? Why when he did finally make his proposal did he declare in effect that the justices were too old and decrepit for their job when as a matter of fact there was never a shred of evidence that this was a fact. Why was not the President of the United States strdightforward and frank? What has become of our American contempt for miserable subterfuge and trickery? Will. this incident be forgotten in 1940? Now. it may be as many surmise and suspect, that we are heading toward a dictatorship, but if we are, do we want this kind of a dictatorship? Why. not at least choose a dictator who speaks the truth and shames the devil. COUNTY TAXES The last installment of county taxes is delinquent after tomorrow.

PARK AND POOL TO BE READY FOR SUMMER SEASON The Nevada City Park Commission met at Pioneers Park Sunday morning and decided upon a program to "be pursued during the spring and summer months. Verle Gray, swimming instructor and life guard, has been re-employed for the present year. His wife will have charge of the booth and of renting of towels and lockers. The commission on examining the bath house found that on the eastern side the redwood siding is turning black and it was decided:’to paint the house white and the roof green. Mr. Gray will have charge of the work. Owing to the settling of the ‘‘made land’ on which the building stands, ti was ascertained that the plumbing and drains are disrupted in several instances, and these will receive a thorough overhauling. Expansion of joints and cracks caused by the settling are to be filled with liquid bitumen. A committee consisting of Mrs. George Gildersleeve and Mrs. Leland Smith was named to attend to planting. It is expected to plant moisture loving plants to the south of the pool where the ground is Kept wet in the summer by springs. Gray was instructed to take charge of minor repairs and the painting. In order get the planting, some carpenter work, pruning and other details done before the swimming season opens the commission employed Gray six weeks earlier than usual and will expend its own funds for this work. i The city is now engaged in bringing water over from Little Deer Creek, which it is expected ultimately to use for supplying the pool with a constant current, The water will be taken out of the ‘stream first by a long pipe, of which the city has a considerable quantity, and then by ditch to a sump where it will be pumped, it is expected, into filters on higher ground than the pool and, from the filters, flow by gravity into the pool. By filtering the water it is hoped to clear it of sediment so that the life guard will be at all times to see the bottom in the deepest part of the pool. Herb Hallett is in charge of work of diverting water from Little Deer Creek and of putting the pool’s drainage system in good order. SOU. CALIF.

SURVEY OF AMERICAN MEDICINE RELEASED SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.—A survey of the present status of American medical practice, which some might regard as exceedingly frank, has just been released locally by the American Foundation of New York through the University of California Medical School and other sources. The survey was intended to get to the bottom of the problem of making adequate medical care available to the large part of the population that now fails to get it. All of the information obtained in the survey was gathered and submitted by the doctors themselves, most of them having twenty or more years’ evperience. The Foundation merely asked the doctors for a statement of existing facts and from these it made up a report graphically presenting the picture of American medicine as it functions at the present time. No conclusions or reecommendations are contained in -the report, as it was intended as a plain statement of fact-and nothing more. The University of California Medical School played an important part in both supplying information for the report and is helping to finally complete it. The Medical Advisory Committee which finally passed on the report contains the names of Dr. Langley Porter, dean of the school, and Doctors William J. Kerr and of medicine. Arguments both for and against the establishment of a Department of Public Health in the United States government, with its own ‘cabinet member, and such issues as “‘Is there too much slurgery?,’ “Is there too much specialization?,” and ‘Is the Family Doctor Passing?,’’ feature the report. Some doctors hold that there are too many poor and too few good specialists, and many hospitals have expensive and unnecessary Strilis:? One group contends that everyone should be compelled to save some money for medical care. The Foundation Committee directing the survey contains such personages as Curtis Bok, its chairman; Thomas W. Lamont, Robert A. Millikan, Roscoe Pound, Mrs. Ogden Reid, Mrs. F. A .Vanderlip and John G. Winant, ALLEGED DRUNK DRIVER IN JAIL B. P. Young, lately of Oklahoma, was arrested today by Deputy Sheriff Carl Larsen and charged with drunken driving.

The employees were as-sured by the management that the present wage scale was the maximum possible at the present price of gold, but that if the price of gold advanced a further increase in wages would be considered. ARMY ENGINEERS INU. C. COURSES BERKELEY, April 15.—The success with which Army engineers met the recent flood crisis in the Mississippi Valley may be traced in large part to the training which many of them received as graduate engineering students at the University of California, according to Dr. Charles Derleth, Jr., dean of the College of Engineering. Graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point have been sent to the university for graduate instruction in civilian civil engineering since 1926. The university has been chosen by the army command as the western institution best fitted to give this training. Graduates have also been sent to Priceton, Cornell, Massachusetts Institute of Technogoly and®Iowa State. The College of Engineering was asked in 1922 by the Secretary of War to submit a list of subjects which would form a one-year graduate course in civil engineering. In 1926 three graduate army engineers were sent to the university to take such a course at government expense and forty eight others have followed them in the succeeding years. Many of them, after completing the course, have been assigned to duty in the Mississippi Valley and, were actively engaged in fighting the recent flood in-that section. > The army men-receive the degree of Master of Science upon completing the required course. They major in hydraulics and flood control and write their Master’s theses in hydraulics, They are picked from the ranking men among the graduates and are sent to the University on June 1 of each year to undergo ten weeks’ period of informal review in preparation for the year’s work.
