Robert Franks of Phoenix is an employe of the Union
Oil. company—not one of the big shots, just one of the rank
and file workers who make up the great bulk of the body that
is America. Franks is the winner of the company’s) national
essay contest, “Why I Am Glad I Am An American.” ~
As said, Franks is not in the big money — he is just a
common working man, having an average American working man’s share of this world’s goods. And yet he is glad he is
an American. a
A lot of Americans are not so well satisfied with their
share of affluence; they think there is something wrong with
our way of business and with democracy; they think they
should have more in return for less effort or at least more for
the amount of effort they are now putting forth. They have
not caught this spirit of Robert Franks:
“Today I picked up a clod from my yard, broke it, and as
it sifted through my fingers I realized for the first time that
this was more than just dust. This was a tiny piece of America. . owned a rare treasure—a bit of the only soil left in the
world today where a man can stand free and unafraid. . was
standing on a piece of America, a few feet around and a
thousand miles deep.
‘Here alone, in all the world, could . build my future,
knowing that it would be secure, and raise childrén with the
knowledge that they, and their children, could enjoy that same
sécurity. . could stand on my tiny piece of America, think
freely and say what I thought, do what I pleased, shrink from
no man and call upon whatever God . chose.
“Three deeds protect my land. One is locked in my
strengbox, my purchasé deed. The others, are enshrinéd and!
locked in the hearts of évery American—the Declaration of .
Independence and the Constitution.
“I am a fortunate man, the indisputable owner of my .
own life and the land on which to live it. . am ari American.”
Robert Franks writes as if he might have come from the
soil. Farmers who own their own land, work in it with their
hands, feel that way about their country much more clearly
and definitely than do their city brethren. The farmer knows
that what the soil means to a people, what it should mean to
every individual. The city man lives so far removed from the
soil that he seldom achiévés such appreciation of fundamentIt would do every American good to get down as Robert
Franks got down and pick up a handful of earth. Rub it between the fingers, realize that from it comés everything we
its citizens. :
A handful of earth may not be much to look at; and it
will soil your fingers. But in it are the chemicals of éverything
that lives, of even you who hold it. Literally, you hold your
own life in your own hand. ee :
Farmers, as a whole, are religious people, because they :
live close to the soil. Fhey underystand what soil is. That is why .
farmers are called the salt of the earth. They are a solid peoA Clod of Earth .
ple. Civilizations rise and fall, but the farmer goes on. He
Ivies close to the God he can feel in a handful of earth. ~
+ ‘It.is hard to stampede a farmer. It is hard to turn him
against his established way of life in pursuit of isms that promise him Utopias that only city people, lost from the soil of
their fathers and groping ‘desperately for securit. would dream .
tPeople with their feet in the earth are a sound people.
‘If you think America holds nothing for you, get down and
pick up a handful of earth, as did Robert Franks, and think
again.—Sacramento Union.

. Sacrafice Means Just That
This matter of national defense leads to some interesting
results.
The industrial magnates talk much of the obligations of
labor not to strike and the labor professors, not to be outdone,
return the compliment by remarks about war-profiteering
while labor sacrifices.
The attitudes of capital and labor, in this instance, are
equalled by many other citizens who talk glibbly about Am-.
ericans making sacrifices for the national welfare without any
idea that they should do likewise.
Frankly, no man knows where world events will lead

AT THE STATE CAPITOL
; = .
'
}
t
The legislature last Sunday, completed its first part of the 54th’ ses-:
reer emer sion with a total .
of 3855 bills being,
introducéd in both
houses during the:
three weeks the
legislators were ia
session. In the assembly 2564 bills
were introduced, '
while in the senate, 1291 measur-.
es ‘have been pro-.
posed. The _ total,
number of bills is
about 150 less
the
HURMAN
than were introduced during
first part of the 1939 session.
The legislature will now be in re-.
cess for five weeks reconvening again
on Monday, March 38rd. Following!
the recess, each legislator is permitted to introduce but two bills for a'
total of 240 additional bills which
may be introduced. g
Your legislator has introduced
some 12 bills, most of them amendments to various codes and we are a
co-author of several other measures,
all of which we will discuss in this
column at a later date. Our first
bill) A. B. 224, which amends the
military and veterans code to. permit
junior colleges «to participate in the
California high school cadét military
program, if they so desire, passed
the senate last Saturday where it
was handled by Senator Jerrold L.
Seawell, one of our four senators.
The bill received the unanimous vote
of all members present in both houses. The bill now goes to the governor for his signature.
The senate ang assembly in joint
session last Friday heard Governor .
budget message.
His message was encouraging in that
budget as presented is five million .
. dollars less than the proposed budget: the Assembly is hereby requested
of 1939 taking into consideration
that there is a drop of nearly thirty
million in state relief from the budget of 1939, the 1941-43 budget can
not be said to be lower than the budget presented two years ago but in
reality is higher. ' Of this increase
some $21,00,000, is in fixed charges
according to Finance Director George
Killion, and there is practically nothing that can be done about it.
There is a much improved feeling
existing these days between Govern-.
or Olson and the legislature. Notwithstanding that the governor attempted to “‘purge’’ many members
of the legislature who had opposed
his tax program in the 1939 session,
the majority of these legislators
have forgotten the bitterness of the
election and are determined to work
for the best interests of the people
of California and cooperate with the
governor in so doing.
Governor Olson, has himself, been
responsible for a better understanding between . yveecutive and legislative branches of the state government At a dinner which he gave to
the members of the legislature and
their wives, last week, he told the
that now was the time to forget partisan politics and work together for
titude, we cannot say. It may be dtfe
to the fact that the economy group is
things. At any rate, we hope the better understanding continues.

majority of 946-383.)
The club opposed seending food
to the Axis-occupied countries of
Europe (by a majority. of 1101316.) It opposed recognition of
Axis claims in Europe and Asia
(by majorities of 1419-69 and
1439-55.)
The proposition that we Should
be ready to enter into treaties
with any victorious power, Axis
or Allied, was defeated (685-535)
as was the proposition that there
is “little to choose’ between the
“imperialistic ambitions’’ of any of
the belligerents (1020-367.)
The club voted its belief that
Axis powers; after victory, could
not be trusted to respect treaties
or guarantees, and that Germany
aims at both political and economic domination of the western
hemisphere. (Majorities ranged
from 1010-389 to 1404-59.
Propositions that the United
States should maintain strict neutrality and cease aid to Britain and
China, and that, coupled’ with
“holding aloof’ from foreign con————
flicts, we should attempt to develop hemispheric or North American self-sufficiency,. were . defeated. (Majorities ranged from
550-744 to 89-1406.)
It was the club’s view that an
Axis victory would be a “serious
menace to the democratie system
of the United States.’’ and would
require us to permanently maintain gréat defense bases. Belief
was expressed that such a victory
would force us into long economic
struggle, seriously reduce the American standard of living, and ultimately force the United States
into armed conflict for survival.
