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)... $2.50 RE TT a ee ee Be i i a i i ee f ‘w Oo» he) ty Vv Sr. ‘ “ev The New Frontier re (From the Flint, Mich., Journal) Once upon a time the word pioneer meant the man or woman who went out to the frontier, the wilderness, to settle new land and pave the way for further colonization. There is no such frontier in this country now and the modern pioneer is one who explores in other directions. _ We are an industrial, commercial and financial country now and the pioneering is in other activities. . The: National Association of Manufactuers recognizes that situation through its new plan for prizes to outstandine inventors and research workers which will be awarded in 1940, the year of the 150th anniversary of the American Patent System. ‘The pioneer on the modern frontier,’ says the association, “of science and technology likewise ventures into the unknown and conquers it. He pushes forward man’s knowledge of the useful arts and sciences and turns the new knowledge into productive uses.” That is what we want and need now. AOR LENS Where The Buffalo Roam . : _Herds of bison no longer go thundering across America’s vast western plains as quarry for Indian huntsmen or frontier sharpshooters. Nevertheless, intelligent governmert conservation _ is safeguarding these animals frém extinction, with the likeli_ hood that the shaggy-maned buffalo will survive in person long after his likeness has disappeared from the five cent piece. Evidence of this is found in the announcement from Washington, D. C., putting up for sale the buffalo on the government’s western preserves, and not only buffalo, but elk and mule deer. To prevent over-grazing on these lands, Uncle Sam has placed some 300 of them on the market. At a price ranging from $45 to $60 you can become the owner of a buffalo, and for a price between $30 and $55, the government will gladly part with an elk or mule deer. We won't say these creatures make ideal Christmas gifts for youngsters but at least those songsters who ask for “a home where the buffalo roam” need no longer ask m vain. For @ nominal ‘fee they can have ‘°em!—Contributed. aise The Defense of Picton In two significant decisions, the courts last week affirmed two basic tenets of American freedom. ; The United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia unanimously ruled that school children do not have to salute the flag if such action conflicts with their religious conWictions. Extending the protective strength of the law to the two children of a Minersville, Penn., grocer, the Federal court declared the town's school board had no right to expel the children from school. In another decision which may have a far-reaching effect ‘ throughout the country, New York's Appellate Court upheld the freedom of the highways in restraining a county from im_ Posing a toll on a section of a public highway which ran through its territory. The court found no general grant of adoor powers which warranted the local imposition of a toll. That decision is important because freedom of the high ways, which is essential to the welfare of this or any country, has been seriously endangered in recent. years. Not only by tolls, but by ports of entry and punitive taxes, whose only effect has been to make states poorer instead of richer. These actions have been chiefly aimed at motor transport in a misguided effort to protect older transportation interests instead as interests. The U. S. Department of Agriculture is thority for the statement that inter-state trade barriers, hiniconomic use of highway transportation, adds milreamy to the food bill of America’s consumers. _ Certain freedoms are basic to the American way of life. only freedom of speech and religion; but freedom of trade ithin a thoroughly United States was one of the precious ts of the War of Independence.—Contributed. ‘.

Jusrr Wonperne I wonder at our liberties of speech And also at the freedom of the press; “That certain wise restrictions hedge them round The freest of free thinkers must confess; And sometimes when our torrid thoughts go wild, And breaking into speech, like torrents flow, They strike a barrier which sternly says, “Thus far and no whit farther shalt thou go.” I wonder if in the indiscreet use; or abuse of our liberties, both inherent and acquired, lies the danger of their abridgement, perhaps ultimate loss. ‘Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,’’ today as in the days when first those words were spoken, there is no better method of safe-guarding liberty than by using it wisely and In California, two measures of popular government are now under going critical inspection and analysis. Recently both were invoked at a most inconvenient time to endanger ‘the very liberties they had been created to expand, and to add an excessive burden to the back of that weary Atlas, the tax payer. That some restrictions must be placed about the use of the initiative and referendum goes without saying, for useful tools in the hands of the unthinking or the unscruplous, often are made to work incalcuable harm. As for the recall, take Mr. Downey's present day advice—don’t sign the petition. . «onder why we are so amazed, when communists, bundsters, et al, fly loose ends, utter strange speech and indulge in traitorous activities at the behest of their respective masters. After all this is the only country where they can be themselves. Here they dress and eat as they choose, walk, two step or waltz down the public thoroughfare, mount a platform in Madison Square Garden and throw discretion to the four winds. Given “swift transition” to the ends of their heart's devotion, they woud find themseves in an atmosphere dominateéil bya harsh, stentorian voice shouting, “when I ope my mouth let no dog bark—*‘an atmosphere where their own little tricks and manners of self-expression were strictly verboten. I wonder why Hitler closes colleges for three years only; why not abolish them altogether? There are thinkers among those youngsters who have been debarred from educational advantages. Three years cannot reduce. them to the desired stratum of ignorance and mental fhcapacity then too, some of them will read and study surreptitiously—history, anthropology. philosophy, too, perhaps. They will know more when the halls of learning reopen three years hence than they do now, and it is not well for slaves to know more than their masters. Uncle Silas says: ‘‘It hasn't been long since Hitler invaded Austria; but in the interim the world has learned that his word is, in every respect as good as his bond.” —A. MERRIAM CONNER.

Twenty three deer had odd points.
The largest deer head reported during the season was from a 180 pound deer bagged by H. Overacker of Mission San Jose. The head had a spread of thirty two inches with ten points on one side and eight on the other. The smallest deer taken weighed fifty pounds and had two points on one side and one point on the other. The largest deer taken weighed 250 pounds, to bag a deer in Tuolumne county. This was the way Zim rived at the above estimate: An estimated 10,650 hunitters ‘killed approximately 1,466 deer in Tuolumne county during the past season. The estimated man days spent hunting deer is 26,982 or an average of 18.40 man days per deer killed.
