Thinking © Out Loud By H. M. L. Nevada City Nugget COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA From the Californian, March 15, 1848: The Liberty of the Press consists in the right to publish the Truth, with good motives and for justifiable ends. ton, —Alexander Hamilae It is said that the ever changeable chamelon, placed on a bright plaid of many colors, crissed and crossed, explodes. Unfortunately the politician does not. He adopts himself readily to plaid and skilfully reflects the interwoven bars of color. If it is black’and white the politician takes on both colors. He dissembles adroitly to hold his job or it may be, his power. President Roosevelt has undergone three distinct and slarply contrasting met&amorphoses. He entered office as the champion of economy., He has thoroughly determined to put an end to the Hoover wastes of public funds. The second stage was pump priming to help business, coupled with the clarion declaration that no one in this land of plenty should starve. But he always forecast the day, just around the corner, when the Federal budget would be balanced. The third and last stage is the present. The President now Says regarding the new spending program, it is to be “a permanent policy of the government.’’ So far as the first phase of the President’s financial policy is concerned, we can dismiss that as the common garden variety of. bunkum. We suspect that he never had any intention-of running an economical government. Governor Olson also promised economies, His budget defeated though it is, proves that his campaign pledges were just so much hokum, molasses to catch flies. Roosevelt worked it, Olson with the monkey-like mimicry of the Japanese, thought he could. In the second Roosevelt meamorphoses in. national policy, when the pump was being iprimed prodigiuosly with tax payers monyey, there was in 1937 a definite response from business. For a time it looked as though we might have a genuine recovery. But that, too, flattened out. The depression, now called a recession continues. Unemployment, which is the true gauge of success of any national administration, anytime in any democratic country,-continued with us. It has varied a million or two year by year, but on the whole, unemployment has not decreased under any plan that President Roosevelt has tried. But throughout the second phase of the President’s. changing policy, he constantly stressed the emergency nature of his spending. It was merely priming, to the tune of billions to get the pump start"ed. Once the pump got going, industry, agriculture, business enterprise and all trade of all kinds, was expected to keep it going. But here was the difficulty: In priming the pump, Mr. Roosevelt used up a lot of water in the well. No matter what the tax rate is the rich man by the very nature of taxes passes them down to the next economic stratum. The next stratum, small business if you like, gets a burden relatively double that otf the thin rich top stratum. But finally the worker, the producers get the brunt of all taxation, which . must be paid out of their ‘rent, food, clothing, and upon real estate. if any. The result has been to take water out of the well in such quantities, as to diminish very perceptably the common supply. The property owners, and employers have had to hustle to. pay taxes rather than meet pay rolls. In order to pay taxes they have had to cut expansion plans, do away with every thing they could do without, new-ears for instance, and to cut payrolls in order to meet the exactions of the tax gatherers. Now in the third phase, we hold with H. B. Ellison, economic writer, that in the announcement of a permanent spending policy, in which the condition of the pump ceases to be a consideration, but its operation has ‘become _ paramount, the government really launches into ‘general business to be controlled by political appointees. The new WPA and PWA policy, it is announced, will engage very largely in self liquidating projects, which are the very kind of projects that private enterprise engages in. There is this difference, however, private enterprise not only seeks to make.a business pay for, itself, it also seeks a profit. The government is under no necessity to make a profit as it demonstrates, for instance, in the postoffice, where it regularly crea, longshoremen’s strike which tied up; ‘few days at her mine, Reliance PlacVol. 13, No. 53.

HEADQUARTERS The Tahoe national forest relief model after several years wanderings finally was installed in its proper place in the office of the forest supervisor at Nevada City on June 27, according to forestry officials there. Myrt D. Robinson, forest service artist, accompanied the model in order to make any additions or corrections in road, trail_and stream locations in! colaboration with local forestry of-; ficials. The relief model was first completed several years ago, accordaing to forest supervisor, DeWitt, Nelson, by WPA labor working under ‘the supervision of forest service experts at Government Island, Alameda. It was shipped to Washington, D. C. to be shown at/the World Engineering Conference and return ed to San Francisco via the Panama Canal just in time to run into the shiping in that port. After reposing in the hold of a’ vessel for three months it was returned to Government Island, but found to be in such a damaged condition that it had to be re-constructed. The relief model was displayed at the. Agricultural District Fair in Grass Valley last October and attracted considerable ily escaped burning to death when “poem.

The appointment of Si Sofge as Grand ‘Noble Recorder of William Bull Meek Chapter No. 10 E Clampus Vitus to fill out the unexpired term of Hal Draper, resigned, is au nounced by Noble Grand Humbug Clyde Gwin. Sofge is secretary of the} Nevada City Chamber of Commerce . and is well qualified for this im-. portant post in Clamperdom. He is expected to hold office until the annual election next April 1, Mrs. Kittie Kimball is spending a er and Quartz abpve Graniteville, taking a short rest. and vacation, tes a deficit. We will wager a modest sum that the taxpayers never. get a nickle out of the TVA. All the tax payers will be losers except.a few favored ones in the Tennessee Valley. Government enterprises directed by the President’s favorites, in the very nature of things, can only inerease the burden of living in a democracy. Boiled, down to basic pringiles, the truth is, that the permanent spending policy now announced by the President, has no relation to economics whatever. The lending spending program.today. is pure-ly political and launched for no other purpose than subsidizing and favorably influencing a considerable proportion of the national electorate in 1940. Bluntly the plan is to tax all the people sufficiently to bribe ‘enough voters to re-elect the New Deal to another four atively select few chosen for representation in the World’s Fair Anthoat high speed.
