NEVADA CITY NUGGET FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1939. Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad Street. Phone 36. A “Legal “Newspaper, as defined ‘by siatute. Printed and Published at Nevada City. Editor and Publisher AH. M. LEETEPublished Semi-Weekly, Monday and Friday at Nevada City. California, and entered as mail”. matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City. under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (Im Advance) ..........2-..22.-. $2.50 Elementary, Mr. President! President Roosevelt, in his message to Congress on April 29, 1938, SAID this: : “The individual must be encouraged to exercise his own judgment and to venture his small savings, not in stock exchange gambling, but in new enterprise investment.’ But what did the President and his bright young New Deal advisers DO to encourage the individual to venture his small savings in new enterprise investment >? IT! S GETTING eee * we a Aw, DONT =z BEA FRAID-CaAT! THERE AIN'T NO pr SUCK ANIMAL ! They persisted in a reckless spending orgy that increased the national debt to the highest point in the nation’s history and reduced money rates to the lowest point. They piled tax upon tax and wove restriction upon re* striction until an investment in business had little chance to succeed, and if it did succeed it had to turn over the lion's share of the profits to the tax collector. The fruits of this folly are apparent from the followine tabulation, made by the Commercial and Financial Chronicle, of new enterprise investment under Republican and New Deal administrations. The figures do not include government issues or corporate refunding. fd Sees $1.882.000.000 1931 uu.. 1,763,000.000 P92 2D eee eee F992 os 325,000,000 of eens Lee eee .

One $4,944,000,000 (first five months) Why has new investment dried up and the return from securities steadily shrunk in the three major fields of the utilities, railroads and industrial corporations? Because— Relatively few individuals will invest their savings ir utilities so long as the Federal Government in various ways either erters into competition or permits and even assists oth er public competition. \ Nor will they invest in railroad securities so long as the New Deal merely talks about sound rehabilitation of the railroads but does nothing to help bring it about. They are equally unwilling to take a chance on investine in industrial corporations, when, in addition to tax burdens and hampering reeulations. labor conditions have become almost intolerable due to the ineptness and bias of the Labor Relations Board. And finally. figures of the Federal Reserve Board sho:y that between 1970 and 1938 the average yield on_ utility bonds dropped from 7.18 to 3.87; on railroad bonds from 7.12 to 5.12, and on the bonds of industrial corporations from 6.94 to 3.50.—Contributed. . Why Wreck Our Traffic Officers? & . Two local highway patrolmen have during the past two weeks sustained serious injvries on the mountain hiehway ir this area.

HOW MARYLAN" CATINTY PATCEN (Continued from Last Friday) controlled the public school systems of our country and have footed the bills. -Today they are requiring of teachers generally 4 and 5 years of ‘eparation beyond high school, and often additional. summer study. They are setting for teachers a. cultural standard which demands travel, wide reading, attendance at plgys_ lectures, forums, recitals, museums. Any person who is to lead youth to the satisfaction of parents must live in an acceptable environment and move among stimulating associates. Such professional training and personal, living require salaries which make them possible. And raising the salaries to procure and keep ¢competent teachers for its children is a “tos > oro ™lom “or any community.

But what about the many patrolmen who have sustained injuries as a result of being forced to use mo_ torcycles. Do hospital bills and doctor bills lighten the cost of . -~ We know of many patrolmen who have been injured in the performance of their duty while riding motorcycles. We further know that the two local officers who have been injured will be jittery every time they are again forced to ride a If we had our way about it, every highway patrolman in e state would have an automobile and motorcycles would : banished from the highways as far as the patrolmen are ed. And we would raise the license fee, if necessary, to . increased cost.

Montgomery county because of the I> to supply for its school teachers salaries which were even higher. While the economic status of teachers is of fundamental concern to the parents and citizens generally, it is naturally of greatest concern to the teachers: themselves, and the bulk of the work involved was done by them. In this county the ‘board of education invited the teachers and principals to organize a committee of ten members to study the salary problem and make recommendations. This committee was elected by the county problem. and after a period of three]? “ommittee were open to board members citizens, and the superintendwhom were free to suggest, advise, question and object. The committee of teachers was divided into three sub-committees: (1) (2) to prepare data on the professional qualifications of the sta*f: (2) to investigate teachers’ ‘alaries in comparable communities and ‘the’ wages of other groups of workers in the county. county: Attorney and Mrs. Harry McKee left Monday for a vacation along the coast near Fort Bragg.
