For Congressman we prefer Harry L. Englebright; for State Senator R. L. P. Bigelow; for assemblyman, Jesse Mayo and for Supervisor,Cary Arbogast. It should go without saying that the Nugget will support Harry Englebright in his campaign for reelection to the House of Representatives. We know of no California Congressman who has served his district with more devotion, who has ‘overcome more obstacles in that service, or who has accomplished onehalf as much as Congressman En? glebright has for this district. Persevering in the face of every discouragement, in a four year effort he gave to California a plan for the rehabilitation of placer mining, obtained the $6,000,000 appropriation for debris dams, and this’ great scheme for reviving hydraulic mining and recovering the vast quantity of gold in California gravels, now rests for consummation squarely, on the shoulders of the owners of these deposits. R. L. P. Bigelow has spent the best part of his life and. his’ best years in making this. district, Sierra, Nevada and Placer, not only a better place in which to live and build but through his recommendations and active campaigns he has made the forest of the Tahoe area one of the greatest recreational and sports areas on the Pacific Coast. The roads he has planned and built. the bridges he has: constructed, the fire trails he has built, and the telephone lines, all the result of wise planning over a long term of years, today bear fruit. Every man, woman and child in these three counties andl homes, rd beyond are beneficiaries of Dick Bigelow.

Nearly four vears ago on arriving here, Cary Arbogast had just.been elected Supervisor for the Nevada. City district. The Nugget had supported him. In the intervening time nothing has transpired to change the That the worst since ’89. The snow was deep and everlasting. The roads to the mines were blocked but the men whose livelihoods depended on mining had to get to their work. Our citizens will remember that Cary Arbogast got out with a tractor and big sled and got practically all of the miners to their jobs. He employed ‘extra help, but, he himself was out early and late steering a tractor and bull dozer;clearing the roads to the mines. He™~has shown the same whole-hearted and rugged devotion to public service through three and one-half years of his term and we believe: the citizens of his district will return him to office by a very large majority. We have so many fat= heads in swivel chairs_in public office, that it is a positive pleasure to be able to recommend a man like “Cary Arbogast for re-election. : i Those are the candidates we are going to vote for. We commend them to our readers and withiut disparagement of others who are contending for those offices. It is *the right of any qualified citizen, often of unqualified citizens, to run for office. It is our American system, and it is a good: system. As a rule it works well. But the thing that often discourages good upstanding men from running for office is the thought of Vol. 10, No. 72.

All members of the Nevada City chamber and all citizens interested in good roads are urged to attend this breakfast, tomorrow morning. There will be no speeches, only an informal discussion of the Downieville highway, a tour of which will follow immediately the breakfast is concluded. The breakfast hour is $8 o’clock and the start of the tour is scheduled for 9:30 o’clock. A large delegation of Nevada City chamber members and citizens has promised to participate in the drive to Downieville. On arrival there, Tony Lavezola of the St. Charles Hotel has promised a notable luncheon, and it is éxpected that fully eighty persons will sit down to luncheon there.

NATION’S DEFICIT FIGURE DEPENDS ON VIEWPOINT Secretary Morgenthau announced that the national debt stood at a little less than $34,000,000,000 when the Treasury closed its books at the end of the fiscal year. That is an increase of almost precisely $13,000,000,000 since the Roosevelt administration entered office. Does this $13,000,000,000 accurately represent the cost, to date, of the New Deal? : 1. Treasury officials point out that the figure of $13,000,099,000 is a “‘gross’’ and not:a ‘“‘net’’ increase. That is, it fails to take arcount of the much larger cash balance on hand today than at the beginning of the Roosevelt Administration. 2. Republican critics contend however, that this does not tell the whole story. Entirely aside from the debt as reported by fhe Treasury, there are certain ‘“‘contingent’’ liabilities of the government. These consist primarily of bonds of the Home Owners Loan.Corporation and the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation—bonds-_nowguaranteed bythe government as to both principal and interest. About $4,700,000,000 is now outstanding in such bonds. The impartial observer, therefore, can take his chéice between a minimum Democratic estimate of $6,lican estimate of $15,500,000,009. Which figure will prove in the long run to be more accurate depends upon events which have still to be recorded The ‘‘contingent’’ liabliities (whieh the Republicans emphasize) will become actual liabilities if, and to the extent that, the government is eventually compelled to make good on the bonds it has guaranteed.

NEW LOCATION NOTICE LAW NOW IN EFFECT The new state law, sponsored by Senator A. L. Pierovich of Jackson, Calif., covering mineral locations in California became effective July 1. Under the new law, every new location must be marked by a_ stone monument at. least eighteen inches high, or a post not less than four inches in diameter. Within ninety days of location, locator must sink a discovery shaft to a depth of at least! ten feet exposing the depth on which discovery and location is based, or that he shall drive a tunnel, adit or open cut to at least ten feet below the surface. It is further required that in placer mining in locations containing more than twenty acres the locator shall, within ninety days perform at least $1.00 worth of work for each acre. This legislation, of course, refers only to new locations, as.it was not the intention of Senator Pierovich. as the author of the bill, to increase the burden on the present owners of lode and placer claims.

For the purposes of administration, the state has been divided into three sections, with offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento. The Los Angeles office handles the southern part of the state to and including Kern county and on the coast to King City, San Francisco handles territory from the Oregon boundary, south to King City, western boundary being approximately the crest of the Coast Range mountains. The Sacramento office handles all of the interior California from Kern county north to the Oregon. line. : In case employers employing more than eight people do not receive the report blanks, it is suggested that they communicate with the office within their district. SUPREME COURT CASE Considerable confusion tas arisen as the result of a case now eonsidered by the Supreme Court.

Placer county’s Democratic committee endorsed Bigelow’s candidacy over a week ago and. is now energetically. working for his election. Committee members — state that Nevada county sentiment seems to be unanimously in favor of Mr. Bigelow’s election. His long service as Forest Supervisor for this district, and the many improvements carried on throughout the Tahoe area of which he had charge, his civic spirited efforts and active assistance in all pr6éjects that advanced the community welfare in his districts have won for him the widest possible support, now that he seeks to be of public service in a new field. The fact that there is no man in the tri-county unit who has a wider cirele of: friends, it is believed, forecasts for Mr. Bigelow a tremendous majority.
