The County Seat Paper__ NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold Center THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1942. Thinking _ Out Loud By H. M. L. We do not believe that any sane person, whether in jusiness or not, would say that investment’ in modern war yields any profits. Thumbing. through the pages of ‘history, there are probably cases where a little war did yield a large profit, for instance, Indian wars in this country which cleared large areas of comparatively small numbers of Indians. Such wars enabled white pioneers to live safely, put virgin land to productive use and build up a great country. Even then, it would probably have been cheaper to buy the land, as was often done, and let the settlers pay for it over a term of years. This is not offered as a defense for aggressive war upon the Indians, who fought with poor equipment and usually were out numbered, Morally there is no defense. From an economic standpoint, which does not always accord with the Golden Rule, it is merely observed that such wars paid dividends while the earth still offered large areas of land with few inhabitants to those aggressors with superior weapons and powers of organization and discipline. We have called attention in this column to the geometric fise in the costs of war, comparing even the last world war with the one now raging. The cheapest war is one in which the simplest weapons are employed and in which the warriors live off the land they conquer. In other words the soldiers become self supporting. Such ‘a war was the kind Julius Caesar fought when he wrote of all Gaul being. divided into three parts. That the Gauls lost parts of their country, which they, in turn, had wrested from other tribes, goes without saying, but otherwise they were not greatly injured if they kept out of the way of the Roman eagles. For some centuries Caesar’s wars did pay dividends. In considering war and its costs, there is no way of computing in terms of money the cost in human lives and misery, We believe that generally speaking ancient wars cost more in human wreckage than they do now. There are three reasons for this. The hand weapons, swords, pikes, axes, spears, javelins etc. used in the hand-to-hand combat or at short “fortis enlisted. range, produced more fatalities in proportion: to the number engaged in battle ,than do modern methods. Second, a larger percentage of the wounded died, owing to primitive medical care, which often consisted of charms and necromancy. And last, and perhaps the most tragic factor of all in oldtime wars, were the epidemics which raged, generally, without let or thindrance. But when human beings began to crowd the earth, especially the fertile parts of it, amd modern invention and industry devised new peace time tools which could readily be converted into weapons, the cost of wars began to mount, as remarked, in geometric ratio. Total war means a war in which even children, women and the aged have their part. For every man on the firing line, at least eighteen persons must be employed behind the lines and in the various services that keep him in fighting trim. If we are to have a 7-million man army, and a two-ocean navy employing nearly a million more men, making a total of 8-million fighters, and eighteen others are employed back of the lines, for each soldier, sailor or flyer, we _ find the total is more than the 132-million population of this country. However; one factor which as—yetdoes not seem fully to have been taken into account, is the machine, which gradually reduces the number of workers required and also the number of fighters. With a nation thus at total war with every man, woman and child engaged in some ‘capacity, it fol. fows that the entire economic ef‘Even food and clothing become munitions of war. The entire population is drawn in*to the vortex and the cost becomes the money value of national production of all-kinds. It follows of course, that nations with the larger populations, the most natural resources, and the most developed industries, will be victors in the long run The United States, and its associates at the moment are taking it on the chin. But we doubt whether there is a military leader in any country, Axis or alx _ . For Rough and ior Judge Arthur Coats of Sutter County, who-presided because Judge George L. Jones of the local court had disqualified himself. After studying the preliminary hearing transcript and Howe’s statement admitting the slaying, Judge Coats fixed the crime at second degree murder. The defendant waived time for. sentencing. Judge iCoats ‘would not accept a guilty plea to the second degree murpermissible under the law. The jurist informed District Attorney_Vernon Stoll and Defense Attorney .Harry McKee he would accept a plea of guilty by the defendant as charged but if the representations made to the court by the district attorney and counsel were true the evidence would no doubt show the offense to be second degree murder. : On that basis, Howe was asked his plea. He ‘replied: “Guilty as far as’ I know unless someone else had their fingers in By stipulation, the preliminary hearing transcript and the written statement-of the defendant were admitted as evidence for consideration by Judge Coats.

On Sunday, December 28th Richlin, who had heen working at, Mare ‘Island, informed Howe he must vacate. During the re;sulting argument, Richlin was shot. ‘Fhe-slain man’s body was found the next day by his brother, Jack Richlin. Shortly thereafter, Howe was arrested in the Holbrooke Hotel in Grass Valley, In his statement admitting the shooting, Howe said he had intendéd to surrender to Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen, but did not have bus fare to Nevada City. (— POLITICAL POT . BEGINS TO BOIL Is the Nevada County political kettle warming up?

INFLATION TOPIC OF BUSINESS FORUM FRIDAY The increasing icost of the, everyday commodities of life; the trends inflation and the measures being considered and imposed to prevent uncontrolled runajway prices of discussion which will occupy the attention of the audience at the forthcoming meeting of the Business Forum (to. morrow) Friday night. Such was the anuouncement of district superintendent of schools H.-E, Kjorlie. “In approaching this topic those of us who remember the last experience when sugar went to 26c per pound and eggs to 90lc per dozen will probably be very much interested in what is being done during this emergency to prevent a recurrence of this situation,’’ recalled Kyjorlie. “With this opportunity being presented for every merchant and his employee to learn from an authoritative source about the measures being developed to control the future of prices we are much more fortunate than business men were during the period 25 years ago when there were no facilities available of this kind.” The meeting will be the fourth in the series of six being presented through the facilities of the local evening high school and the California State Department of Education Business Bureau. They are under the direction of Frank Eimery Cox, regional coordinator for the State Department of Education. Cox is a well known sales authority and business economist and has made a special study of wartime business trend in the field of merchandise and service distribution. His explanations of the topics considered are based upon authoritative information ‘gathered. from governmental agencies and reliable: research bureaus from all over . the country. “Inflation without some control,’’ stated Cox, ‘‘would almost neutralize our all-out war effort. We must understand what the danger is and what is being done to control the situation. Every ‘business employee owes it to himself and his country to understand and cooperate.” The meeting will start at 7:30 and will be held in the auditorium of the elementary school. There is no charge or fee connected with attendance. The meetings are part of the program for vocational training being presened through the facilities of the George-Dean Federal Act.
