4 af < co il , FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1939. ‘SUMMER JOBS FOR ~ 15 FORESTRY STUDENTS “Fifteen forestry school students have been given positions in the ehort term protective force on the Tahoe National Forest this season, according to officials in the Nevada City. office. Of these, eight are said to come from the University of California, one from Iowa, five from Minnesota and.one from Utah.In addition to these three pre-forestry students from the University of Nevada are-employed on the fire suppression aquad at the Truckee ranger station, . The policy of the forest service, E. L, « Baxter in charge of fire protection says, is to employ these forestry students,.to the greatest extent pos) sible, .so that they. maysecure actual experience in the profession which they have chosen and for whilch they are educating themselves; and thus fit themselves for higher adminis“trative positions, either in the forest ‘service or in. the field of private forestry: Special Buys in’ late coupes at George Brothers, terms to suit you.

TAYLOR For California farmers, struggling with the backwash of depression, there’s both good news and bad in the latest report of the United States Bureau of Agricultural ‘Economics, dealing with fluctuations in farm real estate values during the past twelve months. Presentin® the worst first, the’ bad news’ is the fact that California farm land values dropped again—for the second consecutive year. The decline however, was comparatively slight, a drop of two points from Mareh 1, 1938 to March 1, 1939. The brighter aspect of the picture comes in comparison of California values with those in other states. Aacording to ancient philosophers, “Everything is comparative’ —and on that basis, California agriculture has much to be grateful for. Here is that phase of the picture. For the nation at large, the federal bureau reports farm real estate values are 84 per cent of the prewar (1912-14) level —a ‘low’ that means that American farmers have been forced to write off hundreds’ of millions ‘in losses on their holdings. For ‘California, farm values are 121 per cent of the pre-war level— far below the boom figure (167) of 1920, to be sure, but still 37 points above the national average! Looking at the national situation, values are lower in five of the country’s nine agricultural regions than they were in the 1912-14 era, They are equal to or higher than pre-war. in only 15 of the 48 states, with California values ranking fifth highest in the nation. And despite slight declines during the past two years, California values are still 12 points above the 1933 depression low. : Other Pacific Coast states, however, have not fared as well as California. Washington farm real estate values, which boomed up to 140 per cent of pre-war in 1920, are only 83 yer cent today, And Oregon values, which soared to 130 per cent in 1920, are only 8 per cent of the prewar level today. Except for California’s comparatively high values, the Pacific Coast area would be one of the regions listed in the government’s report as having lower farm values than the pre-war base of 25 years ago. And California farms, relatively speaking, are among the most valuable in the entire nation. Analyzing the 1938-39 drop in farm real estate values, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics puts its finger on causative factors as follows: Bran “The decline during the past year was attributed chiefly to the lower’ price levels for farm products and to reduced farm income. “The upward trend in farm taxes, however, and the extensive farm real estate holdings of creditor agenqies also affected values adversely.” Insofar as the primary factor—-low prices for farm commodities— is concerned, only a greater measure of business and industrial recovery, with re-employment of unemployed workers and increased purchasing power, will provide a remedy. But with the second factor—the upward trend in farm taxes—farmers themselves can cope effectively, if they make it their business to reward legislators and public officials PHONE 67 ' Notice to Water Consumers Irrigation hours will be in effect from this date.

Still insist on free handed spending and increased taxation. And if they value their farms—and want their farms to be worth something approxi-' mating what they paid for them—it is high time that they took a firm hold of controllable factors and controlled them! The 1939 state legislature, after months of battle, halted the upward climb of state taxation — at least temporarily—and killed all but one of the many new taxes proposed. But it was a hard, bitterly fought battle, with the outcome always in doubt up to the hour of adjournment. And there are other legislative sessions to come—a special session just a few months ahead. If you value your farm, have a talk with your lawmaker! NEW LAWS WILL GOVERN TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAYS Laws granting authority to the State Highway Department to place distinctive markings in the center of highways, and making it illegal for motorists to pass to the left of such center markings, were enacted at the recent session of the legislature and will become effective in September, . rerorts the California State Automobile Association. Authority is also granted the department “to construct local service roads paralleling state highways where traffic is so great that there entry upon the main highways. Entry upon main highways from service roads paralleling them will tbe prohibited, except at points designated by state authorities, Clarifying the intent of existing laws, another new ‘measure will require all forms of traffic to obey traffic signals. The measure was prompted by doubt as to whether or not street car operators -were required by law to obey traffic signals. This point has been definitely cleared by the new enactment, which will require all traffic on. a street or highway to proceed in accordance with signals. The same measure establishes 4 uniform definition of traffic signals and standardizes the use of »green, yellow; and red lights in such .sig“nals. It further provides that a) flashing red signal shall require traffic to come to a stop only when such a stop sign, Fa : Another new ew will make it {llegal-to cause a trafific-actuated signai to operate for any other purpose than that of permitting pedestrians or motorists to cross the roadway: It has been found that street vendors, hitch hikers, and others have used these signals as a means of causing motorists to stop. “J don’t see Charlie nearly as much as I used to.” * “well, you should have married

This is the opinion of Dr. Kazys Pakstas, associate professor of geography from Vytautas -the-Great University, Lithuania, who is lecturing at the University of California, at Los Angeles this summer. He believes so long as Poland refuses to yield to Nazi pressure that Germany will hesitate to touch off the general European war. “Hitler was able to take the strong little nation of Czechoslovakia,” he said, “‘only through the help of England. Without England’s aid he will have to go to war to acquire more territory. Actual combat over Cc s stated.. STATE BAR WILL DEBATE PLAN TO IMPROVE JURIES SAN FRANCISCO, Jul 20. — Exercise of greater care in the selection of persons for jury duty was vigorously urged in a report submit. }, ted to the State Bar by its committee on jury selection, Secretary laude Minard reports. Included in the report of the committee, headed by former Judge Lester W. Roth of recommendations jurors be given physical examinations, intelligence tests and receive pay of $5 a day for their services. The report will be submitted to the State Bar convention at Del Monte. Los Angeles, are that prospective eptember 6. “All too frequently persons with impaired hearing and vision and who are otherwise ill serve wpon trial juries,” the report “It is strongly urged that! or incapacitated, each prosrective juror be-given @ physical examination, testing eyes, — hearing and other sensory faculties. Obviously, people suffering from hypertension in advanced stages, continuous headaches or other ill nesses which make them physically uncomfortable are not qualified te sit for a period of four to five ‘hours each day listening to evidence and deciding questions which are always vital to litigants.’ od Opposition was expressed inthe report to the acceptance of volunteer ‘yrors and jurymen suggested by judges or other public officials. “There should be but one source of securing names, which in the opinion of the committee should be the sreat register of the county,’ the committee urged. The object of all jury selection is thé choosing. of a high type of trial jurors—men and women who are honest, intelligent and who represent a cross-section of the community.” The committee also urged that the present practice of compelling litigants to advance lunch or dinner money for jurors who have been instructed and are deliberating on &@ case be discontinued. The jurors should buy their own meals, the committee contended. Subscribe for The Nugget. PHONE 994 O. K. TIRE WELD CO.

Any other seaport beside Danzig would greatly increase the distance by land over which Polish coal, wheat, and industrial products would have to be shipped. Dr. Pakstas scorned the suggestion that Germany and Poland might make a “deal’——giving the Polish corridor to Germany and giving the little country of Lithuania to Poland. He pointed out that Lithuania has no important seaport along the Baltic coast. “Furthermore, Lithuania surrendered Memel to Germany~ last summer after Hitler had promised there would be no more territorial aggression against the tiny nation. Whatever the eventual outcome of the squabble over Danzig, Lithuania wants to be neutral, Dr. Pakstas said. “We Lithuanians realize, however, that the Polish corridor is more necessary to the Poles than to the Germans. It is not a matter of sympathy—but one of economics and perhaps justice.” ; WASHINGTON ROAD AND BEE STREET IMPROVED Street Superintendent Herbert Hallett has a crew finishing work on the Washington road and Bee street where asphalt is being poured for a permanent surface.
