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——@ ADMINISTERING THE CATTLE Socialism—You have two cows; you give one neighbor, and keep the other.

BENSON President--Harding College Searcy, Arkansas 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.
