LEETE Cae Editor and Publisher Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Friday at Nevada City. California, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City, under: Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. : SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) .............4...$2.50 Pensions Increased SACRAMENTO, July . 4.—California’s maximum monthly old age pension was increased from $35 to $40 under a bill just passed by Congress. The federal contribution is increased from $15 to $20 a month, which will raise the pension ceiling automatically. That news, humming over the wires a few days ago, brought cheer to the hearts of thousands of California's elder citizens. More and more this nation is coming to recognize the humanitarian obligation and the economic necessity for taking “care of its aged dependents. And of all the states, California stands first in doing something about it. _ .Pension news is always interesting news, so it will bear repeating Sat California pays the highest pension in the nation. In Yexas the top pension is $12. In Florida it’s. $10. Arkansas pays $6.08. California pays her half of the nation’s top pension of $40, and the United States treasury matches the avte. Both state and national guarantee their pension proMises. and they're good as gold. . Among our elder citizens who. understandably enough, have been chasing the mirage of $120 a month promised by the *0-Thursday plan. thinkers are beginning to emerge to ask in all seriousness just what will happen to _ this highest pension arvard in the nation —. once they catch the mirage. ‘ MONDAY, AUGUST 14, 1939.

Sees Save California! “Save California from disaster!” With that challenging appeal to California citizens, in every walk of life. to enlist in the campaign against the socalled Ham and Eggs amendment, former Attorney General U.S. Webb today characterized the 30-Thursday pension proposal as ‘‘a one-way road to ruin and bitter disillusionment.” “If the voters approve this plan,” asserted the former Attorney General, “California would face a depression compared with which the tragic consequences of the existing depression would be insignificant.” ‘Webb, state chairman of the campaign against the Ham _ and Eggs act, which will appear on the ballot at the special election on November 7, announced that Northern California Citizens Against 30-Thursday—the organization which will conduct the election battle in northern counties—has opened headquarters at 111 Sutter Street. : Clem Whitaker, San Francisco publicist, and advertising executive, has been appointed as Northern California canipaign director and stated that volunteer citizens’ groups wil! be organized at once in every northern county.
