Printed and Published at Nevada City. H. M. LEETE --:= Editor and Publisher PubEshed Semi-Weekly, Monday and ‘Thursday 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 Gne year (In Advance) 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 ns some of the patriotism we profess before it is too te. ' Olson deliver his ‘large number of legislators present ‘the best interests of the state.

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. .

This will help us give ‘you ; THINKING OUT LOUD (Continued from Page One) 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.
