M. L. Nothing is reported in the diplomatic negotiagions with Japan now going forward concerning Hirohito’s white ‘horse. We are disappointed but venture to suggest that since the emperor wants some sort of a job he be given divine power to rise at 6 a. m. daily, curry the white horse and lead him around to the front stoop in time for Admiral Bull Halsey to take his morning canter down Tokyo’s Main Street. Otherwise we see very little use for the emperor in the coming scheme of things. Some say let him remain the spiritual head of the Japanese people, Well, he had that job when the war’ started. As spiritual head, he had every Jap turning away his profane eyes when he passed throughg the streets. He was that godlike. The army brigands and the navy pirates thought enough of his imperial divinity to use him.as a front to lead the nation of emperor worshipers into a very disastrous war. We think the Asiatic passion for gambling had something to do with starting the war. At any rate the military chiefs and navy admirals, living in a world of their own, sat down in a world game, holding two deuices. One was the emperor and the popular belief in -his divinity, the other was the European war, which they deluded themselves in thinking would be the finiish of Uncle Sam. Now the game is over. They have Jost all the wealth stored up for a half century for this war. They have lost millions of Jap lives, which they hold cheaper than one of Hirohito’s sacred whiskers. And, this is worst of_all, they haye lost face. dren retain the job of spiritual head of Japan. But according to information at-this writing we will not permit the Jap military ‘bosses to save that much face. unless we, relent and let Hirohito or his’ chilCITY COUNCIL CALLS BUSINESS MEETING TONIGHT Tepe Nevada City Council has calied a general meeting of business men for this evening in the city hall to consider raising quarterly licenses fees enough to cover inlcreased costs of street cleaning and increased salaries recently granted. In a letter to business men _ the council states: ‘“‘Since Pearl Harbor the policy of the Cilty Council has been to conserve finances peuding the post war period, and refraining from competing with war efforts oy using a minimum of labor. The ‘war is not yet over. The revenues of the city are inadequate to make such improvements as are necessary, and as are requested by public organization. The recent increase in salaries will require over $1000 a year. The rate, reduced 2\5¢ per month two years aggo, thereby reduced the city’s. revenue by $2,250 a year. . “After the miues were no longer in. operation some business licenses were reduced because of reduced gross business. It has been suggested that ‘business’ licenses in. the city be raised a nominal amount to furnish the funds that improvements necessarily cost.’’ & Youth Authority to Take Custody of Long John Long, 17 accused of driving the car in which Alice McBride, 16, of Grass Valley was fatally injured, appeared before Judge George L. Jones, to answer on charges of involuntary manslaughter and driving a ear while intoxicated with injury to a passenger. He pleaded not guilty to the two counts and his trial was set for Septemiber 12. Later the court ordered that the’ youth be released to the custody of the California Youth Au*hotity. Afi order admitting the accused to bail was rescinded. Records of the sheriff's office reveal that Long had escaped from the Fred C. Nellis School for Boys at Whittier on November 11th, 1944 and had never been apprehended.

The Japs have be-l vised that James Cairns, one time lieved themselves invincilbles, and. saddle and harness maker of Nevada have been so to an amazing degree.

Snider states, have . made an excellent record as regards . fire pyevention in his. distriét arownd Truckee. He says he thas not had to chalk down a single fire this season as attributable to fishermen. “Tf fishermen will continue to observe the rules concerning no em0oking along the dry canyons for the rest of the summer,” Snidér said, they have a chance to better fast season’s record’ for hunters in this district which Have averaged but one fire during the season for several years. “But now _we are in the midst of the dryest part of the year and there is a record crop of dry grass ready may ‘be let loose in it, so a maximum of care. must be exercised to prevent Man-caused fires for the rest of the season.’’ Building “Bee” for Farmers Free Market An early day custom was revived yesterday. in Glenbrook midway between Grass Valley and Nevada City; when an intercommunity picnic was held and the picnickersturned out with carpenter tools to engage in a ‘““‘building bee.”’ DOWNIEVILLE —~ YOUNGSTER GOOD FISHERMAN Fishing is good in Dawntevitic according to the youngsters. Just recently little 12 year old Ronnie Wilstrom caught a 16 1-2 inch trout weighing 2 1-2 pounds from the bridge in Downieville. Not t6 be our done, his buddy 14 year old Sammy Beckoff caught the mate to Ronnies fish only a few minutes afterwards. Both fish were beautiful specimens of rainbow trout, and were almost identical in size. Fishing so far this year in the lakes in the Grouse Ridge area, reports District Ranger Max Williamson, has not been as good as it was last year. Earl L. Moore, a soldier from Camp Beale and his wife found a small lake in this vicinity (Grouse Ridge) where they report the fishing was excellent. In the excitement of Mrs. Moore catching her first fish, a 14 inch rainibdw, she lost her hat in the lake. Fishing of course had to stop until the hat could pe retrieved.

Mills Lambs sald several days ago averaged 99 to 100 pounds, and Kuhn and Miller’s. shipment August 5th, averaged as high as 107 pounds per lamb. “The rainy month of May and otherwise favorable moisture conditions this season have given, forage a growth that rounded out the palatability of plants so that stock received a maximum of weight increase per day by such exgellent feeding conditions.

These include extension of business license taxes, local sales and amusement taxes. As a result, California faces confusion in the entire field of supplemental revenue during’ the state’s fastest period of growth. “Indicative of the importance cf this situation is the creation of legislative interim committees to thocoughly study this problem. The state chamber of commerce recognizes the vital importance of this situation to commerce, industry, agriculture and the indvidual taxpayers, as well as the communities. According to Mussatti the scope of the state chamber of commerce’s study will include: 1 Present condition of local finanlce, and its future outlook. 8 Division of the taxing power between state and local government. 3 {Local supplements to state and local taxes. 4.

The NEW ACTS BY LEGISLATURE GO INTO EFFECT SACRAMENTO r) Aug. 13—Departments of the state government today were: preparing to put into effect bills passed by the 1945 legislature which will add to California’s program for spending the personal re~ conversion of war veterans. : Governor Warren pointed out that the keynote of the program is that “the term rehabilitation of a veter= an, applies to the veteran’s adjustment to every day citizenship. To this end, many steps have been taken to ofifer the veteran the means of becoming reestablished in the community.” i335 As a result of new legislation signed by the governor, the Califor+ nia Veteran’s. Commission, which Warren organized on a voluntary ‘basis in 1944 is given legal status and financial support. Its job is te help set up information and Séfvice agencies which local communitied will operate: = : 74 Authority was granted to submit a $50,000,000. bond issue to a vote of the people in November, 1946, the money to be made available for the loans to veterans who want to buy a home or a farm. A $30,000, 000 bond issue was apyroved by the people in 1944. . ‘ The governor signed a_ bill increasing the amount that may be loaned to $6500 for a home and $12,— 5000 for a farm. He advocated teh ducing the interest rate on such loans to three per cent. instead ot the present five per cent. The legige lature at the request of veterans’ or= ganizations, compromised on four. per cent. 2 Returning veterans will be able to pick up their schooling with the assistance ofthe California Veterans” — Educational Institute, which was au& thorized to pay up to $40 a month for the living expenses of ex-soldier students. The institute taxes care of tuition and other fees, and supplies the textbooks. Veterans having a non _ service connected handicap may be trained for a vocation, under a _ program handled by the State Department of Education. The services of the Div ision of Apprenticeship Standards also are available. This division of the Department of Industrial Rela. tions will supervise the training of a returned World War II man for the entire period of his apprenticeship. Educational opportunties for chikdren and widows of World War ‘If veterans also have been provided for in legislation approved by Governor ~ Warren. Such students attending high school may be given up to $20 a month for living expenses, or up, to $40 while they are in college or a ‘business or trade school. Then after a veteran “gets on his feet’? ‘he is given the benefit of exemiption from taxes on the first $1000 worth of property he and his wife own, The exemption continues until his holdings pass the $5000 mark. His pay as a soldier, sailor, marine or coast, guardsman is exempted from the state’s moderate .tax in income. ‘Ex-servicemen and their wives are given’ civil service preference —— in seeking state jobs. And for those who come to the end of a trail that is lonely, California maintains a Veterans Home at Yountville, in pleasant Napa Counley. This is for honorably discharg— ed veterans who have resided in the state for 10 years immediately pre‘. ceding the date of aolisnttie = admittance.
