I wonder why so many men
And women too, ah me.
Hold fixed opinions that with mine
Fail somehow to agree. :
We have all heard the story of the dear old lady who
stood, one day, upon the sidewalk watching her son and his
lodge brothers on parade. Eagerly she scanned the little company then turning to a friend she exclaimed in highly indignant tones: ‘‘will ye just be lookin’ at thim boys every last
one of them is out of step but my Jimmie.”’
I thought of that little stoy a few days since when .
heard of Hiram Johnson's “one dissenting vote.’ The:years
have been many the years have been long and filled, with a
number of things never dreamed of in our peace time philosophy, but to men like Hiram timé stands still. They stand in
the very shadow of coming events but ‘fail to comprehend the
significance of what they see and hear. The world has grown
weary of dissenison and strife weary of tearing dawn what
centuries of time have built, weary of forever sacrificing the
flower of its young manhood upon the blood stained alter of
the mad god Mars. Humanity in very desperation has blasted
a trail, an imperfect and unfinished pathway but still a pathway, which may when widened and made smooth lead to the
plains of peace. Mankind must follow this trail or remain forever in the valley of desolation and dispair; still to some men
humanity is out of step. It is a great pity when any man or
“woman has nothing to offer nothing to suggest nothing to
give but “‘one dissenting vote.’” To bad to be out of step
with the onward surge ,of events at a time when the sons of
men stand upon the mount of vision enraptured by a dream
and animated with hopes that cannot be denied.
Little children come up to our home under the historic
cedars. Prattling Eddie and Jimmie, adorable Peter the baby
whose father is away somewhere in the Pacific the lovely little Mary from over the hill and when they come and . hear
their fresh young voices . find one poignant question haunting my mind and that question is ‘““what sort of world are we
building for these little ones what trails are we fashioning for
their tender feet>”’
It seems but yesterday that four year old Tommie used
‘to come to us across the hill, sit upon the saddle horse Monty
and plan for the time when he would have a charger of his
own and tie it to a tree which stood before his home. Tommie
has wings now and may soon be sent into tht maelstrom of
war raging now in the and about Japan. Can we do no better
for the little ones of today than an older generation did for
Tommie? Can we not bequeath to them a better world than
the one inherited by Tommie? Let us ponder these questions
in all sincerity, before we dare to cast our “one dissenting
vote.”
Uncle Silas says: ‘‘let's not be picayunish about the
edibles consumed in Potsdam; the big three are strong, husky
fellows and they need nourishment.—Contributed.
POLITICAL FREEDOM
The California Committee for Political Freedom, with
headquarters in the Continental Building, 408 South Spring
Street, today embarked upon a campaign to raise funds to circulate petitions designed to place upon the state ballot a measure officially designated as the California Political Freedom
Law, according to the committee secretary Joseph E. Matthems. ; :
“Our purpose is to restore the freedom of the ballot’,
said Matthews. ““The first assault upon the voters’. freedom of
action came when John L. Lewis contributed $500,000 of
United Mine Workers funds to the Democratic Committee in
1932, the most recent and climatic assault came 1944 when
Sidney Hillman, the Communist and the Political Action
Committee raised millions of dollars to swing the elections of
1944.
**Much of this money came from people who did not believe in the candidates or measures supported. Those who refused to pay political assessments levied by their unions were
dismissed from the unions, which in a great many cases meant
loss of livelihood. These cases have been widely publicized.
We propose to see that the voters of California have an opportunity to say'that this practice of collecting political funds
by involuntroy means shall cease.
“‘When our fighting men come home, we would like to
tell them that they can vote in this democracy without paying
tribute to some union political boss.”’
The Committee for Political Freedom, of which Matthews is chairman, has been granted title to an_ iniatitive
measure officialy designated as The California Political Free——@

Baited Hooks
Two years ago when national legislation affecting schools was proposed (S-637) nobody who favored
the bill ever called it the ‘‘federal
school control. bill.’’ That alone
would have defeated it. No sincere
friend of America’s public schools
wants them bossed by the national
goverriment. The thing was referred
to always as ‘‘federal aid to education.’’ That sounded much better.
But a great many people were not
fooled at all. They had seen bait
used to hide hooks before by political as well as practical fishermen.
Although the bill stated, right in Section One, that it would be a nice
little law if passed and not help
any government man, or group of
men, grab the schools and run away
with them, the platitude was ignored
by our sage and seasoned Senate.
Amended by Senate
On the floor of the Senate the
‘federal aid’’ bill underwent some
changes. As changed, no part of
the federal funds therein provided
nor any part of the local funds thereby supplemented could: be used to
make or maintain any distinction
between races. That’s federal control, beyond ‘dispute. I am not discussing the merits of the amendment. I am saying this: Federal
control will follow federal aid as
night follows day.
The subject is alive again now. A
committee in the House and another
committee in the Senate are once
more considering legislation that
flies the flag of ‘‘federal aid to education.’”’ Once more I am emphasizing that financial aid to local
schools from ‘‘far-away Washington
will bring federal control of local
schools in spite of all the protective
clauses ever built out of words.
It Is Federal Law
The Supreme Court of the United
States, the most powerful tribunal
on this war-cursed earth, has established a precedent in favor of federal control. The Supreme Court has
ruled that the federal government
can control that which it subsidizes.
Little, protesting sentences in the
preamble of new legislation figuratively fade away in the light of this
Supreme Court ruling.
that federal aid to schools is not
federal subsidy of schools. I maintain that any distinction between the
two things is a distinction without
a difference. I have learned quite
a little about these twin bills recently and about people who advocate
their passage. The bills are practically alike and they point to government control like a compass
points to the north,
The Entering Wedge
Both bills call for a 300 million
dollar annual outlay of federal
funds, and it’s only a start. Testimony of people who journey to
Washington boosting the idea is very
clear. It translates the handwriting
on the wall. They expect federal aid
to grow rapidly after the first bill is
passed. I also think it would grow
in less. than ten years from federal
subsidy to federal control.
I am opposed to federal aid therefore for several reasons: (1) It will
lead directly to federal control of
education. (2) When the national
government controls’ the local
schools, the children’s parents have
nothing to say about what takes
place at school. (3) If it happens,
Some people may want to, argue }
ment, and steal another cow.—Contributed.
LEGION BIDS FOR
MORE WORLD
WAR II -VETERANS
. E. W. Bolt, department command'er of the American Legion, has just
; announced a statewide membership
drive, August* 5th to 12th, for discharged veterans of World War Il.
The week has been designated as
American Legion W. W. II membership week. This announcement is attracting nationwide interest since it
is the first such drive directed solely
. 'to enroll men and women who have
. had services in this war. The Am. ericag_,Legion Posts: of this state are
jurged to go all out in their efforts
. to sign up all W. W. II men and womjen in their city and counity who have
been dischazged from the service.
More than 140,000 men and women of California have been discharzed from W. W. If service: To date
22,000 of them have become legion
members. The membership drive set
for August 5th to 12th should easily
double. the present W: W. II membership of the legion. That is the
goal. The point system is at work.
It is leading to the discharge of many
outstanding veterans. When they
have enrolled in some ove of the
more than six hundred legion posts
in California they will be able to
render top service to veterans and to
their government. $t is through organized efforts that big jobs are
done.
_. All legion posts have been asked
to organize a special membership
committee comprised of four W. W.
II legion members and the 1945
membership chairman. In this way
the strength of the campaign will be
carried ‘by W.W. II, and from this
activity they will learn that the road
to strength lies in membership. Numerical strength is the deciding factor in all legislative and public opioion batitles.
The new young manpower now in
and those soon to be enrolled in
legion posts will provide the needed
youthful leadership for: boys’ state,
‘boy scouts and junior baseball. There
are also heavy loads to carry in the
fields of rehabilitation, child welfare
re-employment and Americanism,
These legion programs of long standing will skyrocket to new heigst under theleadership of the young veterans, many of whom are themselves
graduates of the youth programs of
the American Legion.
Commander Ed Bolt boasts the top
membership in the history of the
legion of California, over 101,000.
He is now driving to start next years
commander out with a strong membership of W. W. II men anw women.
The legion will continue to lead the
field of veteran organizations in
strength, public favor and unselfish
service to veterans and to California.
