SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) ..-2.2.222-.--.00.202254 $3.00 30 cents One Month of Government Monopolies Government agencies, for years past, have cracked down heavily on business monopolies—wielding the big stick with such abandon that often it fell on the innocent as well as the guilty. The trust-busting crusade has been pursued relentlessly, if not always intelligently. Robber barons have been run to earth; profiteers have got their come-uppance; combines have been broken up—but of late there has been an undoubted trend toward government monopolies more dangerous to the liberties and welfare of the American people than any business monopoly in history of this country. Thinking men and women, aware of the short step from bureaucracy to autocracy, have long been concerned with the rapid encroachment of government on the work and livelihood of the individual, but the government itself has been slow to ‘admit transgression. Of unusual interest, therefore is the report.of the Monopoly Committee to Congress last week; for this ultra-liberal Committee, while it belabored business vigorously, also warily admitted a new danger. in growing. government monopolies. Declaring that the “germs’’ of both Fascism and Socialism are already ‘‘apparent in our economy,” the ‘Committee cited the Bituminous Coal Act as having set up “an order. which.is not without resemblance to the Fascist order,’ and then said that the Tennessee Valley. Authority. (better known as TVA) is “not without some aspects of Socialism.” : The only unusual thing about that report is its source. Soviet Russia, in effect, is one big government monopoly; Nazi,Germany is a government monopoly. First a totalitarian government takes over business and industry—the people's means of livelihood; then it:takes over the people. The reference in the Monopoly Committee's report 'to TVA’ might ‘well be considered by. certain people at Sacramento, who are loud. ly demanding that the Central Valley Water Project be. turned into a “‘little TVA.” We-have far too many government monopolies already; it’s about time that a few enterprisewere left to the men and.women who are still ‘trying to earn an independent living, and who support the government in stead of being supported by it—Contributed. Tne Nation Calls . . Too infrequently, perhaps, our attention is called to that priceless American heritage known as “‘Liberty."’ In the rout. ine of everyday living, this heritage may appear to be guaranteed_and unchallenged: Yet world events have indicated that Liberty is not unchallenged, nor is it a trust to be taken lightly or for granted. While this nation is at peace, it is at best a precarious peace, dependent on the strength of arms and manpower ‘to protect our way of living. Already hundreds of thousands of young men have been called to serve in the armed forces of the nation, and within the past few days the national government has requested every unemployed man possessing skills. valuable to defense industries to register with the local state employment agency. The -request goes even further, it asks all men working in occupations other than defense, who have skills essential to defense. industries, to register. The purpose of this registration program is obvious—it is designed to mobilize labor for defense purposes, to create a labor pool which can be drawn upon by coordinated effort between industry, worker and the employment agencies. to avoid useless migration, useless concentrations, and ineffectual operation. Perhaps registration will not mean a job new — but it will mean that. workers who have these skills valuable to shipbuilding, aircraft andthe metal trades industries will be known, and may be called upon when the defense production program leaps into full swing. All workers in these skilled classifications, young and old alike, retired or otherwise available, 2-> v>~ed to cooperate with the government ‘in this volur tary }*¢zram, and to register now at their nearest employment offi->, The nearest employment office to Nevada City is Grass Valley. What To Print and What Not To Pint The: following: editorial comment from.the. Mitchellville (lowa) Index explains the position of all sincere newspaper editors. What the Mitchellville editor points out as_to what news to print-holds true in Nevada City as ‘it does in the lowa town: “When to print a disagreeable story and when to leave one out of the paper is one of the most troublesome problems _ of a small town editor.
