< NEVADA CITY NUGGET seis FRI meal DAY, JANUARY 7, 1938. Ps teak Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad Street. Phone 36 . A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City. H. M. LEETE Editor and Publisher Published Sem matter of the 1879. . Thinking . Out Loud . H. M. L. 5: «+ RETRIBUTION “The demagogue, in iis rising From obscurity where he crouches, Make good by capitalizing The ancient national grouches He fosters the feuds and the hating. he: people cheer him and back him, Until, their fervor abating, They growl, and they up and they smack him. For each dictator and war.head Will suffer rebounding blame, Since those who live by the sorehead Shall perish by the same. —Jerome Barry. The little jingle above, clipped from ithe Saturday Evening Post, wompresses in three stanzas political wisdom of the age. When the soreheads, ne’er-do-wells, and share-the‘wealthers, at certain conjunctions in Whe national firmament hold a balance of political power it is almost eertain that a champion of the underdog will rise and in honeyed accents “woo their votes. In the American Commonwealth, there is always a wide sympathy, latent in good times, active in bad times, for the underdog. When -the popular leader de; fares that no one shall starve in Am—.. @rica, he makes a universal appeal. We had the. pleasure of hearing Herbert Hoover’s speech accepting Nevada City, California, and entered second class in the postoffice at v Nevada City, under Act of Congress, March 3, 7% ah + SUBSCRIPTION RATES % Siac dey ssaacceeauece $2.50 © One year (In Advance) Seteieieieieinieinicieieieinieinicininicininininicies i ; Supreme Court, only a little diluted i-Weekly, Monday and Friday at as mail tot tesfreateatecteateeteetesteatesteates: signs: of the inevitable dissolution. Except for fire-side chats. sounding the-same.chord on the somewhat threadbare theme that no one shall starve as long as the Federal treasufy holds out, he -has shot his bok. Congress, always jealous of its . powers, no,tonger fears him. The ‘by the Klansman, preserves its au-! . thority. Governmeni by three co-or-} dinate departments, is still intact, . and from now on-will function much . as the Founders intended. “But ne?ther Hoover not Roosevelt are a toial national loss. However, : too cautious, still instituted the RFC, which has been one of Roosevelt’s instruments in relieving the depression. That we now have another depression, not so acute, as that of the Hoover regime, is due mainly to Rooseveltian haste. Caution can be too slow, and haste, as we all Know, makes waste So we will have had a wasteful eight years when the curtain rings down on Dr. Roosevelt. ‘On the backs of taxpayers has been piled_the greatest debt in the history of the world. At the same time new restrictions, new . regulations have been enacted, that hamper earning capacity, not to mention the constant pressure for further reforms that make business and. even the means ofliviing unceriain. So we come to the conclusion that if Hoover was too slow in an emerg2 . ency, Roosevelt is far too fast. We. are-cured of our diseases but tre medicine we have taken is more painful than the ills we had. The great fault of legislating for 125,000,000 people is that it is practically impossible to do so without oppression of some great segment of the population. In Russia, as a recent commentator points out, the Soviet authorities adopted a sho.-gun the Republican nomination to President. . poverty in the United States. While ed a chicken in every pot, or two cars in every garage, we will admit that some such inference was implicit in hhis speech. It was an appeal to the same kind of voters on whose shoulders Roosevelt later rode into power. It is dangerous for any man to make promises of this kind or to lead anyone to ‘think that such promises canbe kept. History bristles with the names of political messiahs who promised and failed. It is a matter of time, Those who must depend on emotionalism to, win political leadership fall by the . same law that raises them. The hexoworship of today is the contumely of tomorrow. Hoover, winning by a} popular majority of little less than that of his successor, was cast out in four years. -Roosevelt, building the discontented elements of the nation into a serviceable vehicle rides ‘into a second term. But now as Congress convenes, there are plenty of be . He talked of abolishing! but while this class was hurt, worse . damage was done 10-cow Kulaks, we don’t remember that he mention-;and the no-cow Kulak got most of 'the shot. In other words, when the méasure aimed—-at-40-cow Kuiaks, President goes hunting for “Big Business’ either in the way of super-taxes or regulation, he may cripple big business somewhat, though as a matter of fact, the big fellows have generally learned ,how to. take care of themselves, but the little fellows are kept busy picking the shot . out of their innocent hides. The President’s address to Congress Monday. gives promise that something will be done about mending this condition For the first time he narrows his wccusation o. wrong doing on the part of big business to a few recalcitrant and_ rebellious “big fellows’? who refuse to keep step with the country’s savior. He exonerates the little business man, which will make the little fellow happy. provided kind deeds follow kind words. The President,-this" time, niay mean what he says. We will watchfully wait and see. ‘ -ABRIDGED “This book of Universal Knowledge will tell you everything you @ught to know,” declared the agent ~ ait the door. “Don't need it,’’ growled Mr. Grouch, ‘‘my. wife tells me all that— and a lot more besides.” “Daddy!” exclaimed the little boy. “One more question; then,” sighDanny went to school for the first time and, like many other little boys’ fathers, Danny’s dad asked him how he liked his teacher. : ““All right,’’ was the reply. ‘Ts your teadner smart?’ teas ingly persisted the questioner. ; “Well, she knows more than I do,” admitted Danny. “What do the three balls in front THE NEW HIRED HAND oleate lesfeolestestestectestestesterteedereateg’ T‘LL SHOW You PLOWIN' -erack, according to an instructor in ‘the. Correspondence Department Bate SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.—Severe and sometimes disabling ches: pains which resemble the symptoms of angina pectoris, may be traced in many instanees to the patient’s excessively overweight condition, according to Dr. William J. Kerr, professor of medicineg in the University of California Medical School. Speaking before the eighth annual} post graduate symposium on heart disease held here recently, Dr. Kerr revealed that the Unixersity Medical . Schoo! has obtained results which are nothing short of phenomenal in treating over weight sufferers. from chest pain, breathlessness and low blood pressure. The pain, similar to that of angina . pectoris, in this condition, is presumed to be due to an insufficient supply of oxygen to the muscles of the heart. Dr. Kerr believes on the basis of personal. observation of a large number. of patients that the chief and precipitating causes of the pain lie outside the heart itself. He lays the blame on conditions which prevent the heart from filling with an adequate amount of oxygen carrying blood. Extreme obesity and resulting abnormal posture is one of these conditions he says. At the University Medical School, overweight patients have been put on a special diet designed to reduce the weight to normal and properly fitted abdominal belts have been applied. Later, postural exercises have been prescribed. In every case in Which this has been done the attacks! of pain have been removed. The reason for this cessation of pain cannot be listed categorically, according to Dr. Kerr. However, he believes that it is due to the restoration of the normal position and movements of the diaphragm, the change in pressure within the abdomen and chest, ‘and the increased freedom of motion enjoyed by the chest in the preathing. All these factors apparent. ly combine to aid the heart infilling itself with an adequate supply of blood.

Wise motorists are applying early, it was pointed out by the California State Automobile Association. Those who put off applying until the -closing days of the period face the congestion and delays of a last minute ‘rush. A greater risk of waiting is that of failing to apply before the
time limit expires at midnight, February 4. Delinquent applicants will be required by law to pay cash penalties which increase the regular registration fee from $3 to $6 and add 50 per cent to the amount of vehicle liccense fee based on car value. Car owners applying for renewal are required to present the registration certificate for 1937. They should also present the postcard notice from the department of motor vehicles showing the total fees due, in order to facilitate handling their application. In casg the registration certificate ‘has been lost or is too badly damaged for use application for a duplicate certifciate is necessary. This requires presentation of the ownership certificate. for the information it contains concerning the car. If that certificate also is not available, the car itself must be brought to a plate issuing office for examination as to engine number and other facts. Applications for renewal of registration and issuance of new license plates for 1938 are being handled by the department at its various offices and by the Automobile Association for member motorists at thirty three district offices.

Juszt Wonperrne . fe I wonder too, why sound, advice Remained so long unheeded Right here in these gold bearing hills _ Where it was greatly needed. I wonder often about advice; if you take it, you wish you hadn't; if you don’t take it, you wish you had; if you have some to give away, no one wants it; if you don't give it, people call you unsympathetic. Does anyone ever learn just what to do with or about advice? Many years ago, when the hydraulic miners of Alta California were waging a losing battle with forces representing the interior valleys, a poet residing in Marysville or Sacramento, composed a couplet which, joined to a fantastic tune, became rather popular—in some quarters. It rans as follows: ‘Dam the Yuba and the Bear And doubly dam the black debris.” Now this was sound advice, freely given and often reiterated; but the hydraulic miner s failed to recognize it as such; \ instead, they regarded it as a hymn of hate and treated it with contempt. In recent years however, they have ‘practicability and are now eagerly hastening to dam, not only \ the Yuba and the Bear, but the American river as well. This realized its . will trebly dam the black debris, permit the resumption of hydraulic mining, and inaugurate a new era of prosperity and progress, for the mining regions of our northern which will be reflected in revived activities counties throughout the central valleys and in San Francisco by the Golden Gate. Perhaps the composer of intend it for advice, but in the that famous couplet did not words of a certain M.C. “‘it surely did contain the germ of a great idea.”’ I wonder if Japan entangled in a maze of explanations, apologies, deep regrets, etc., will become absent minded and quite unconsciously apologize to China.
