~ Vote In August .
This is the year and the season, with the state primary
less than two weeks away, when California not only has ears
attuned to the hum of an accelerating business dynamo, but
also to the voices in the political arena.
But a word to’the wise on that score is sufficient, for they
know one vote in the August primary is worth a dozen in
November. On the last Tuesday in August each voter’s ballot
can go to the man of his choice. But if he shirks his duty: until
November, he will find his choice restricted to those nominated in August, leaving a Hobson's choice. i
This year the voter's responsibility is doubly important. .
With the business index swinging upward, the need of rep-_
resentatives to carry that upturn through to completion is
imperative. California, like other states, can ill afford to place
the management of its affairs in the hands of those bent on
furthering impractical proposals and pet peeves.
We have alreary heard of the super-spending plan of the
senator who wanted to build some eight billion dollar roads,
the super-taxing scheme of Rep. Patman to disrupt retail distributive systems and disorganize the achievements of lowcost mass marketing, the super-censorship plan of a congressman to establish dictatorship over the press.
But the last-chance voter has small cause for complaint
if similar foolish schemes arise in the future through his failure to help elect more enlightened representatives. August
~ 30° is more than a week away—time enough for every registered Californian to make it a must-vote day.—Contributed.

Our Prioeless Heritage
All too often in this busy world the few really important
things are neglected.
To us in America our most priceless possession is taken
‘for granted. It is, as everyone knows when he pauses to think,
the right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of individual action.
But it has ever been that distant pastures seem the green-est. And for the same reason there are always those among
us who forget that the greatest privilege in the world today is
to be an American citizen. They overlook that other people
would pay money for this privilege which they received at
birth. :
And, having overlooked all this some people think that
the government in other lands is better than our government.
To them our institutions are outmoded. They are constantly
proposing some change.
But perhaps the best answer ever given to one of these
Ism Groups was given straight from the shoulder the other
day from a speaker’s platform. The speaker was) defending
one of the greatest organizations in America from a scathing
attack which questioned its sincerity of purpose.
In the midst of this defense the audience hissed. But in a
moment the jeers were turned to ringing applause. For the
speaker said:
“The only right you have to hiss me is because this is a
free and untrammeled democracy. If the principles of some of
these professors were to be adopted, you could ‘not hiss me
and I could not talk like this.”
In those two sentences the speaker had removed the
foundation from all the Isionism in the world except the Americanism of freedom of individual rights.—Contributed.

_It is to be of gigantic proportions, this representation of
the gentle and godly Saint Francis, and according to many
critics, most uncommonly ugly. The artist, it is charged, has
esoteric proclivities, and in his efforts to symbolize something .
or other, has paid but scant attention to truthful delineation
ot features, form and raiment. ‘ .
I wonder if many modern artists, are making unnecessary demands upon our powers of intuition. After all, it’s

length, and always preface their remarks with the well known
phrase, ‘‘now what we ought to do, is this:”
We. listen attentively—sometimes—and . with ever
mounting expectations; ‘what we ought to do,” is ably discussed, with properly placed anti-climaxes and climaxes, but
nothing seems to lead anywhere. At the end of the harangue,
we realize that we have heard of many steps which might lead
the world and its people to the Land of Heart's Desire, but we
haven't been told how to take these steps’ we have learned
what we should do, as individuals, groups ahd nations, but we
have not been told how to do it.

NUMBER 20,000
Less than fifty years ago there
were only 213 persons on the official payrolls of the state of California, records of State Controller Harry B. Riley show.
Current figures indicate that in
the various departments of state
Bervice there are now approximately
20,000 employees. This figure does
not include employees connected with
the University of California.
With the exception of the University, all state government activities
in, the year 1891 appear to have
been handled through 24 distinct divisions of service and 213 employes, Mr. Riley reports. Of those 213
judges.
. Some departments of state service
which now employ many times more
lic Works:and Agriculture are among
the present important units which
were not even contemplated 47
years ago.
From the time California became
a state the office of the State Controller has been the “pulse” of government activities,
“With the state performing many
new functions and the number of
state employees nearly one hundred
times greater now than in 1891, the
need for economy in administration
in the controller’s office is greater
than ever,” Riley stated.
