THE UNHAPPY NID The Nevada Irrigation District for the third time in its tumultuous existence is facing a crisis and the possible change of managers. We feel that a compromise between the warring factions will be the only solution: to the troubles of the NID. rs To say that the NID is in excellent financial, physical and emotional well being is to hide our heads ostrichfashion in the sands. The NID is in one hell of a shape. We are not convinced that Forrest Varney is guilty of criminal action and we are not qualified to judge his competence or incompetence. We only know the man took the reins of management of the district at a time when it was saddled with a huge debt and no appreciable retirement of a huge bonded indebtedness. Any individual who made any effort to cure the ills of a district in such shape would have to adopt higher assessments of property owners and incur the enmity of the same landowners. ae Te NID is under investigation by the grand jury and we believe such investigation should bring all possible facts to light without regard to whose toes the facts step upon—whether they be past or present officials of the NID. Let's clear up all these charges, counter-charges and recriminations. If there are persons guilty of misconduct in the affairs of the NID—lef-it be found out and made known to the public. If there is no misconduct, let us realize that we must pay for the mistakes of the past and make certain they do not happen again in the future. The Nugget is not defending Varney—we do not intend to accept the guilt or innocence of the man until the findings of the grand jury are made public. But we believe the board of directors of the NID acted hastily in asking for. Varney’s resignation under the present circumstances of an investigation by the grand jury—the discharge of a man who is under inquiry. If the board of directors feels Varney is incompetent for the office of manager, he should have either been fired long ago or the discharge held up until the grand jury findings are made public. If Varney is guilty of any misconduct the grand jury investigation will reveal it. A certain amount of quarreling is inevitable among a number of individuals, but we as individuals should not put the district on the rocks through our quarreling. Let us clear up old quarrels, settle them and forget them; find out what we need to correct our ills; retire our debt and bonded indebtedness as rapidly as possible and build for the future greatness of our district and our county. LET’S BE SATISFIED ONLY WITH PERFECTION The Nevada City Volunteer Fire Department is credited with being one of the fastest and finest in the state. Many critics believe the department makes a very close approach to that peak point called perfection. We are heartily in accord with such. observations but we believe the department can institute one more service that will make it one notch closer to point of perfection. We refer to service to individuals injured or burned or suffering from smoke inhalation er shock. At the fire on Bridge Street early Saturday morning one woman with painfully burned arms sat in a car for nearly 45 minutes before the arrival of medical aid. Another woman, also suffering. severe burns waited for a similar length of time in the home of a neighbor. These two persons and three others suffering lesser burns were eventually treated and three of them removed to the county hospital. A\ll will recover. However it is our belief that a special squad should be assigned to such cases to hospitalize those who need care and treatment. . NEVADA COUNTY FAIR _ Each year about this time we begin to turn our atten” ‘tions aways from the rigors of everyday life and put on “our best bib and tucker and head for Grass Valley and the Nevada County District Fair which Manager Loyle Freeman says will be one of the best of all. ‘This is the time of year when each persons takes what he does best and places it on exhibit at the fair vying for honors with all the others in the county. Freeman, who. has done a good job of operating the fair, says there will be a good show there and if he says so, then there is going to be a first class show. At the same time, Freeman wants everyone to know that itis the Nevada County District Fair and not the Grass Valley Fair. He wants that point brought out be«ause he said there is a strong tendency to misname the ‘ annual celebration. In this same regard, he declared that people from all over the county are being represented, and added that ‘more exhibits aré’coming in from the upper reaches of tthe area. So far as we’ are concerned, the fair is a real country custom that everybody should participate in and that means you. : : HOARDING BREEDS GOUGING Deion the enemies of humanity are visible at any given time. ; We've been watching a national and local shame of hoarding and panic buying so closely that we've lost sight of even bigger perpetrators of grab and greed. For instance, the radio. commentators and news columnists have assured us there is no shortage of tires, sugar, meat, etc., in an effort to combat the wave of spending which threatens to cut into normal supplies. So, if there is no shortage, why is it logical we should have price boosts inthese items? The -costs-of-production have not gone up, and corporations reports of the past month show the first half profits of 1950 to be the greatest in history. The workers are getting the same pay. The manufacturers and distributors evidently were getting a satisfactory margin of profit, but, on the wave of foolish purchases which have not cut into the supply, . we get a substantial boost in prices. Whatever has before of the free enterprise slogan that the per unit cost of a product drops when the volume of sales increases? If there are a few hundred thousand more items sold in July than were sold in April, isn’t that gain enough? Does it immediately become necessary that we pay more in August merely because we are boosting the sales curve? The little businessman with a fixed overhead and a stable price on his product can’t jack up his price because his demand increases. And if he is foolish enough to try, his local-competitors soon cut him down. to. size._Isn’t that type of inherent check and balance at work within our national economy ? Silay A friend of ours operates a grocery store. In the past weeks he’s been told that price rises are coming in certain lines and sugar is one. The agent advises the grocer “to put the increase into effect now upon the inventory you have in stock.” In other works, soak the consumer, who is such a dope we can tell him there’s no shortage one day and slap a price rise upon him the next day and get away with it. _ The entire subject of panic buying is one which every householder should study. Not only does panic purchasing tend to cause shortages, it. tends to cause gouging wholly unrelated to supply and demand. It tends to cut into: the purchasing power of.the average family. Don't let gougers take advantage of the follies of human nature. It’s an understandable mistake for all of us to be tempted to “beat’”’ a suspected shortage or coming price rise. But we pay treble for such mistaken practice. Just a little bit of reverse English, with buyers suddenly refusing to purchase jacked up items, would bring the prices down to sensible levels in a hurry. Otherwise the gougers will continue to bet on human nature and kick big holes in your pocket and make you like it. . OUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS: By CLAIR ENGLE Demand Made for Controls As this is being written, the House is debating the President’s ! proposed bill called “the Defense Production Act of 1950.” This bill provides for priorities and allocations on critical materials, authority to requisition necessary materials, expansion of productive capacty and supply, price and wage stabilization, and control of credit. The initial measure did not include price and wage stabilization, but a substitute now offered by the committee chairman does. In addition, what is known as “The Baruch Plan” for the immediate freeze of all prices and wages has been proposed as a substitute. The action’of the committee in-adding price and wage stabilization resulted from a widéspread *public demand for this type of control. The letters received in this office were characteristic of those being received by many other congressmen. With a few exceptions, people have demanded the congress take action to stop the threatened inflation and price gouging and have insisted that it be done immediately and not piece-meal. The public reaction on this score seems to indicate that the people in general are willing to go further and faster than the president originally intended. Some Oppose Credit Controls There has been some criticism too of some sections of the bill. Numerous telegrams and’ letteers have been received from people in the real estate business and related industries objecting to credit controls on real estate are a part of the general credit control section of the bill relatnig to all consumer credit. It would be hard to justify taking out credit control on*real property and leave all other credit controls in. That, of course, raises the question as to whether or not any credit should be controlled, but it seems to be conceded that since the control of credit is an essential part of the control of inflation, that some control on credit is necessary. -Admittedly the powers in the bill are rather broad and it would be better if congress could define the exact limitations beyond which credit should not be limited. However, that would require extensive and: lengthy hearings with an examination into the particular circumstances of credit on automobiles, house furnishings, real estate, and every other field in which credit is advanced. It appears now that .congress will vote the credit controls requested.by the president but will, keep a close watch on the manner in which the authority is administered and put on guard to stop any arbitrary or unnecessary exercise of the authority. Parity for Farm Products Some farm organizations have protested that’ the price controls should guarantee either parity or 110 percent of parity for agricultural commodities. The present bill provides for parity with the highest price paid from May 24 to June 24 with adequate power for the president to take into Gonsideration short crops and other special circumstances. Most persons who have written on the subject believe that price and wage stabilization should go together and that wage stabilization is necessary if price stabilization is to be effectual. Difficult to Write Bill =o The president has indicated that he is willing to accept these additional pewers but will object to any mandatory provision directing their use. In short, he wants. to be free to put them in or not as the circumstances seem to dictate. This apparently is his criticism of the Baruch plan and also his criticism of the Bowles plan, which would put in a price freeze and roll back if the commodity price index went beyond the figure to be fixed in the legislation. People I think will generally understand that no piece of legislation is perfect and that although.a legislator may believe that certain provisions of.a bill should be eliminated or improved, nevertheless feels obliged to vote for ‘it rather than vote against it because of its deficiencies. There will bea good deal of disagreement about the measure passed by the House whatever it is, but the overall necessity of some kind of legislation is. clearly apparent ‘and~the job of each legislator is to try to get the best possible bill . under all the circumstances. STATE FORESTRY MEN TO TOUR FOOTHILLSEmployees of the state division of forestry and members of the American Society of Range Management will tour the foothill area of El Dorado county tomorrow ih a study of range improvement practices in that area.
