That is our projected construction budget in this new year of 1946 for plant and line on better to serve Northern California. This thirty million dollars is money spent for the fuiure growth of this area. And we in Northerm California must look ahead and be prepared, This is a tinie to get ready for the growth-of new “pusinesses, small or large; for the expansion of local factories or of larger industries backed.by outside capital. It is a time to create jobs for our increasedpopulation and the development of markets for the pzoducts ef factory and farm. The Pacific Gas and Electric Company is now running a series of colorful advertisements in leadins national magazines to attract new business and new industries to Northern California. It isa campaigm that aims at the live interest of Eastern industries im moving westward. Your gas and electtic pees will keep aheed of this growth through its mulea— million dollar improvement program by providing an abundant supoly of electric power and natural gas fuel at rates umong the lowest in the nation. ‘<a earnings thereon disappe<zr the savThese econmporation averaged 12 per less. The employe iod received marked In various industries investors have! also suffered from refunding or preferred stocks and ‘bonds at lower. fixed rates of return. It osn’t justice and it is not good ‘business to destroy thrift by refusing a fair return on savings, since savings, individual and conporate are alone the great motive power that provides for expansion in goods and services in volume and variety essential to. our country's welfare. The millions of inarticulate unorganized stockholders of the General Motors and other industries whose rights and equities are being wholly disregarded in the controversies are entitled to their day in court on the basis of their own interest and as well that of the entire country. Price Fixing in Peacetime The public is certainly more inter‘ested in getting motor cars and other needed things than it is in having the government at Washington in peace time fix prices that stop or interfere with production. the grit in the smooth roller ‘bearing interchange of two billion or more business transactions a day that sustain the life in our free enterprise system. No well establihhed company such as the General. Motors and the other’ motor car companies whose maintenance and progress have followed the policies of something beiter all the time at less cost skeuld even be suspected of establishing polcent . es during this per-' increases in: ; rates of pay. iy Down ‘here in the Mississippi Valley we are all acquainted with a species of wasps called mud-daubers. They are relatively harmless, build little adobe huts in high, protected. spots and lcok out for their own interests. By inzi-nct they are engineers and diplomats but, like so many insects, they know very little about. modern industry. Some of their mistakes are costly. An _ aristocratic family named Sceliphron Cementarius (common mud-daubers) got busy one summer and built a fort inside the vent pipe on top of a big steel tank of heating oil. The tank had been filled in the Spring for Fall marketing and stood quiet for months. Finally came an order for a barge load of heating oil and the plant owner started pumping it out of storage. Suddenly the big tank collapsed. Too Much Authority The oil man’s’ motor-powered pump silently pulled out the liquid and,built up vacuum inside the tank. Being in a position to plug up a/! vent-line and call. down the forces of nature to destroy property and waste merchandise is too much authority for a mud-dauber. To be perfectly frank, the more I observe the workings of the OPA, the surer I am that such authority is too much for anybody. Right now our governmental price fixers have the vent-line closed on some exceptionally tight structures and the pump has already started. ‘‘People who buy machines shall not pay more for them,’ says government, but (with government consent) people who manufactute machines must pay more, much more, for every hour of effective labor, and for every pound of processed material. Strong for Service I am in favor of workers .getting a farm cooperative field day will be held in Grass Valley on February 8 that day will be invited to attend conferences and panel discussions on farming and stock raising topics, play a major role.

Sublime Vandalism : Big corporations have to be ef. ficient. If they grow extravagant, . a-lot of small concerns with lower overhead stand ready to undersell them and take their trade. Accordingly, big firms must operate on thin margins of profit. Figuratively, they are tight. They can be “pumped down’’ by holding their prices and boosting their costs. Ford declares a $27 net loss on every new car sold at prices fixed by government. Nearly everybody knows that America’s advantage over foreign lands is based on mass production and volume sales, things we have that they don’t have. We have nothing to gain and much to lose by wrecking big industries.

Jury Disagrees In Trial Of Wm. Haynes The trial of ‘William Haynes, charged with the ‘burglary of Alpha Stores, Ltd., in this ‘city ended Thursday with a disagreement among the jury. The trial w held with Judge Arthur. Coates of Sutter County presiding. Involved in the case was a revolver, which it was alleged Haynes had taken from the Alpha Stores Ltd. on the night of June 12th, 1945. Hayneg admitted ownership of the revolver, but declared he had purchased it from a man in Oakland, whose name he had forgotten. His attorney declared that though it had been shown that the revolver was stolen, the prosecution had failed to prove Haynes took it from Alpha Stores Ltd. ‘ The revolver was identified by its serial number-as one taken from the Alpha Stores by Ray “Murchie store manager. Possession of it led to the conviction of Haynes in Oregon. Following ‘his release from jail there he was returned to Nevada County for trial. When he pleaded not guilty to the robbery of June 12, he was sentenced to San Quentin on his plea of guilty to his earlier robbery.
