H. M. L. Vol. 10, No. 74. The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold Center MONDAY. JULY 27, 1936.
We do wish Alf Landon had been
a bit more specific in his acceptance
speech. It was a good talw. It “‘listened well.’’ But somehow or another it was too remindful of the
_ kind of talks President Roosevelt
ig when he was a candidate for
‘the job of being head man to 125million people. If memory’serves, the
“y¥ thing Franklin Delano Roose‘Vem zave the good public in the way
of “brass tacks’? was a scheme for
reforestation, He also talked warmingly about the ‘forgotten man,’’
Meaning as it turned out, the unemPloyed man.
Landon said in effect that relief
must go on. But he did not say in
what way he would administer it. A
‘very large proportion of people
would like to know just how he proposes: to administer relief. Nobody
Teally quarrels with the idea of keeping the peoule from going hungry.
But there are different ways of preventing it. We would like to know
what. Landon has in mind. The present system, wasteful, and to a large
extent haphazard, hampers’ recov-,
ery. The government jobs are just
good enough to keep a large number of men from going after anything
better in private employment.
When the State of New Jersey was
asked to match a certain number of
dollars with Federal money for relief a few months ago, the legislatrefused and turned the whole
matter of relief over to the counties. The money expended by the
counties is a good deal less than was
formerly expended under Federal
supervision.
ure
The WPA administration has been
making a survey of the job New Jercounties and municipalities is
doitig in relief, and quite naturally
the surveyors find a lot of fault with
it. Some of the criticism: is no doubt
merited. Families do not. get anything like the relief money they formerly received. They must be
dents of wherever they apply for relief, anywhere from two to _ five
years. Nobody is starving but it
seems quite certain that a good many
re living on a less than sihsistence
diet, But in the a Jot. of
those who formerly at leaf
sjag and other boondoggling jobs,
Wyre gotten jobs for themselves. The
list of unemployed in New Jersey
has taken a big drop. Part of this
is due to seasonal activitsey
resimeantime
labored
of course,
ies that absorb a great deal of unskilled and semi-skilled labor. Bu
of part of it is due to New Jersey’s
system of compelling boondogglers
to’ get out and scratch, However, it
is too early to come to any conclusion regardin® New Jersey’s drastic
short cut to speedy recovery. November may present a truer picture,
sa ware Slot {
Probably Landon does not realize ,
vet that, to be lected, he has got a .
be snecific about the things he proses to do, if elected. It is no walkover that confronts the Republican
standard bearer. Every vote in this
battle of the ballots is worth something. Roosevelt could afford to be
vague indefinite during his
campaign four years ago. Hoover
was beaten before he started. Jehn
Smith of Higgin’s Corner could have
beaten. him. Roosevelt sensed that
and accordingly confined his promisto remembering the forgotten man
and to planting more trees. As a
matter of fact he has not kept these
promises very well. His reforestation
plans have not worked out very well,
and as for the forgotten man, it all
depends on which one you mean.
and
The small tax payer, the small
stock holder, or bond holder, the little man who has clung to his job
through thick and thin, depression
or no depression, is now the forgotten man. The Roosevelt administration has loaded the unemployed on
the backs of the taxpayer. And now,
while that may have been the only
method of dealing with unemployment in the depths of the depression, your small taxpayer, the newly
forgotten man, is demanding that he
shall have something to say about
how the money is spent. and for
Boom. For ‘three long years” this
right has been denied him. If Roosevelt is defeated it will be because in
“the forgotten man’,
he forgot the man who pays the Dill.

DRUNKEN DRIVER
TO PAY $50 FINE
Judge Miles Municipol Coughlin
on Saturday rendered the following
verdict: ;
The defendant in this case pleaded guilty to reckless driving. The
evidence shows he was somewhat intoxicated at tHe time of' the driving. He drove his automobile up
Commercial street on the wrong side
of the street, bumped into a parked
car, veered in onto the sidewalk,
dislocated a: few bricks from the wall
of a building, and ended up-against
a service pole of the Telephone Company.
The defendant is mprried, ‘has
children, works on WPA or PWA
and is building a home. It is true
that dependants often suffer more
than the principals in #hese sort of
cases but to let defendatts, escape
punishment because they have families would be, in effect, to give
somewhat of a license to husbands
and fathers to commit these crimes
if they are to be excused thereby.
Men should think of their families
before as well as after their bacchantie escapedes.
The court observes that it is most
important to protect and insure the
safety of all men, women and children on the public streets and highways. Instead of humping into the
parked automobile and knocking a
few bricks from a wall, this defendant might have struck down some
innocent child or pedestrian while

Fire Near Rough And
Ready Flares Again
The fire near Rough and: Ready,
which did so much damage over the
week end, flared up again this
noon. State Ranger W. F. Sharp. this
afternoon placed two crews in the
field aggregating 100 men. The fire
burned over 4500 acres of grass and
timber land Sunday night, but this
morning they thought they had it
cornered, and practically out. The
house and barn on the MeNeil ranch
unoccupied, were burned to the
ground. Several hay fields were destroyed and much pasturage. The
fire up till Saturday morning burned over 3,000 acres, and since that
time, with new outbursts, it has run
up another tally of 1500 acres, making the total approximately 4500.
The Wolf Creek fire is done. Before it was halted it had covered 850
acres. Sharp’had 85 men on that fire
and brought in 40 more before the
blaze was stopped. The Division of
Forestry assisted on the, Wolf Creek
fire. A state fire truck ‘came from
Davis. A fire truck also was loaned
by the city of Auburn.
Rough and Ready for a time was
threatened Saturday. Grass Valley
sent a fire truck down to help in the
battle.
