H. M. 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.

That is a ouection for nromoters of 20-Thursdav to anwer. The old folks. led by the evangelistic fervor of the 30.
Thursday leaders to contribute their pennies. nickels and

_ We only know that the Constitution of these United Stateprovides for only one monetary system, and that doesn’t embrace printing press scrip. It declares that no money system i:
legal or valid without the federal government and the gold reserves behind it. Yes, it’s a question for the 30-Thursday promoters and the sooner it’s answered the fairer it will be for

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.
Former Attorney General Webbs’ condemnation of the
big pension proposal which purports to guarantee citizens over
50 years of age a pension of $30 per week for life, was ‘preDoes the state stand behind the $120 promise: does the fed''Sing Prison for the
the federal constitution that a large percentage of California
citizens would be thrown upon emergency federal relief due
to confiscatory taxation and the breakdown of the state’s economic structure. Every Californian should see at once to his
registration and should make it his personal responsibility to
go to the polls on election day and repudiate for all time this
imposition of false hopes upon trusting people.”’ :

dicated on three major points:
Y 1.—That based on his knowledge of law and economics
from his thirty-six years as Attorney General of California,
is convinced the plan is impractical, uuworkable and entirely valueless. Coe
2.—That should a majority of the voters approve it,
ifornia’s public treasuries would shortly be filled with
rthless paper; relief payments would either end or be drassally curtailed present pensions for the aged would be stopfor lack of funds; schools, police and fire departments
nd other essential functions of government would be cripand a depression would set in that would make all other
ssions fade into insignificance.
3.—That in view of the present trend toward an adenational pension system, which will provide elderly eitwith real American dollars instead of worthless paper,
