M. L. In a town of twWorthousand population when an election is pending that afects the city government, and when citizens offer their candidacy for posts in that government the only reward for which is the sense of accepting an honor and discharging its duties satisfactorily, there is not much that a newspapér can do about it community’s welfare, could not do. This is true because any voter : reasonably awake to his. .respenPk sibilities knows the candidates either personally or by reputation as well as members of a newspavs ; per staff. However in general it ean be said that those candidates. who have made a:success of their job, their businesses, and who own their homes, and have proved their public spirit in unselfish service to their communities, invariably give satisfactory ‘service to their city when chosen to the responsibilities of the city council. In practically all California cities there is an element, a segment of the population, which is interested in creating better conditions for various forms of vice. Unifori . tunately for this group the laws alifornia, unlike those of Neimpose very stringent’ reguand for many things, such as gambling, they are prohibitory. Of course, When some minor group does manage to get control of a city government, they are able by winking at law violation, temporarily to give the town that “‘wideopen”’ condition that inevitably results in bribery and graft. Governments controlled by rowdy and law violating elements not only render a town a less desirable place in which to live, they also are tremendously costly to the tax payer. But when the majority in any city taken over by its disreputables, lose their control it is because they will not take the trouble to GET OUT AND VOTE at municipal elections. A few years ago a bold attempt ‘was made to turn this city over to vice businesses. It. will be remembered that a certain Hotcha Palace applied to the city council for a license. The chief of police and majority of the council turned down the application very firmly indeed. They were backed up by the Woman’s Civic club and ‘other citizens. The alignment on the city council at that time is something that voters should remember when they go to the polls next Tuesday. It is well to remember for instance that Mayor Hall was a member of the majority of the council at that time, which refused the Hotcha outfit permission to establish a gambling emporium on Broad Street. It is well to examine the candisdaicies of those who seek election next Tuesday with a view to keeping on the city council a majority who will rigorously exclude such . institutions’ as the Hotcha Patatceite to public office in any county or city. candidates should have a stake in the town in which they live. Candidates for public office, we feel, should own their own homes, and be tax payers, with a fellow feeling for other tax payers. Rarely will a tax payer vote i for fly-by-night enterprises, or licenses for law ‘violating businesses. ‘For any tax payer. knows that these instittions draw to cities an \ undesirable element, that they . ’ eause juvenile delinquency, and \ that they increase cost of policing, jailing ete., and only a few of the . disreputables that seek these soi called amusements and make a business of vice and debauchery profit by them, to’the detriment of the rest of the community. In practically every community these disasters can be prevented if all citizens GET OUT AND ' VOr'E. which any citizen interested in his . We think it should be a prerequis-* Directors Of Chamber Are Elected The newly. elected’ directors of the Nevada City Chambef or Commerce (will meet Monday night to select a president, vice president and secretary-treasurer. of the local booster organization. The new directors were named Tuesday night at a meeting in the Shamrock Cafe. They are: Hal Draper, George Gildersleeve, H. F. Sofge, R.J. Berggren, Richard Worth, Bud Kyle and H. S Foreman.

You better stop going out with my girl friend.” And, peculiarly, this “girl friend’’ two days ago received a letter, postmarked Sacramento, and ina woman's _handwriting, threatening her if she continued her friendship with a, Grass’ Valley man now employed in defense work. The Grass Valley man is a frequent weekend visitor in this city and at the present time is ahead in the battle for the local woman’s affections.
