ROCKS IN THE ROAD
One of the more asinine rumors: we hear now and
then whispers that Nevada county will lose its portion of
Collier-Burns money if the supervisors don’t quit meddling with the. roads.
Nevada county fecéives Collier-Burns money on the
basis of the money we pay in gasoline taxes, the money
collected from us when we purchase auto licenses and a
formula. computing a basic amount per mile of county
roads. The state has no more control over cutting us out
of that money than it has to cut off our alcoholic beverage control funds which are sent to-us on a basis of liquor
sold’in Nevada county. The state acts as collecting agent
for the county and city on such items. Some of the money goes to build state highways, some comes back to build
city and county roads. It’s automatic.
The only conditions in the Collier-Burns act—section
2119—under which the state controller is authorized not
to draw a warrant for the county are these: if the county
Just Wonderin’
.
has failed to establish a road fund (ours is established):
or neglected or refused to file any report required by law,
showing the amount of money received and the disposition thereof (and it’s a° function of Joe O’Connor to be
sure such reports are made and filed).
_ The Collier-Burns act is one of the best pieces of legislation enacted in California. It sets up a road commissioner, answerable to the board of supervisors. They
hire him and they can fire him. They set up general
policies of roads, or in the formal language of ‘section
2009, ‘The board shall determine the general policies of
the county as to county highway matters and the same
shall be carried out and administered by the road commissioner. als
O'Connor, is supposed to hire and fire personnel working in his department. But it certainly is the right and
duty of the supervisors to make sure the persons he hires
do a full day’s work for a day's pay.
The entire trouble with the road department so far has
been the theory of our old-line supervisors that the old
way is best. They still want to make the road building
decisions in their supervisorial~districts. The CollierBurns act destroys the concept of five road districts. In
theory is gives Nevada county the machinery and adds
to. our funds for a county-wide road building program.
That such a program never has been put to work actively
in Nevada county is self;evident. There is no over-all
planning program. We have the road work done in each
supervisorial district where that supervisor wants it done.
As a result we are continuing to get rat-hole filling and
patch-work.
Nevada county is at that point where we either go
ahead with inevitable overflow of the influx of people
to California and develop our county, build good roads,
make it attractive to home-builders, or we fight it and
become the hill-billies of California. The goopy attitude
that our roads are good enough now because they have
been good enough for grandpa won't bring development
to Nevada county.
_ Nevada county is paying for an overgrown WPA that
seeks to control politics with roads rather than building
roads to serve and devélop the county. There is no economy involved. We are paying for the roads with every
gallon of gas we buy, whether that money goes into good
roads or chuck holes full of gravel. And we are paying
over and over again for broken springs, loose fenders
and jarred vehicles, and for driving away investment
capital which would settle in Nevada county if we were
made halfway acceptable.
If state officials are displeased with Nevada county's
road building effort—and well they may be—they are
only adding expressions of displeasure to the many
made long and often by a great many residents of Nevada
county.—kww.
THE SHERIFF’S RACE
Nevada county will have a new sheriff for the ‘next
four years—and a mandate from the electorate. Nevada
county has long tolerated slot machines, probably still
tolerates them, but does not want any implication or
rumor of corruption, or implication or rumor of dictation
of the county by a vice czar or racketeer.
For the past few years Californians have watched the
Mickey Cohens, the Buggsy Sieglers, the cohorts of the
eastern mobs move into the lush and growing state, and
bring with them racketeering and all its evils—gangland
slayings, bribery and threats, and flouting of the. law.
And the great mass of Californians voiced their disapproval with their greatest weapon, and whether rightfully or not, removed from office incumbents upon whom
fell the mantle of suspicion. —kww.:
The natural flights of the human mind are not from
I Wonder, oh glorious banner,
Floating out on the free winds above,
If our hearts are recording your message
Of justice and mercy and love. .
This is flag week in our America and in its observance
we greatly honor ourselves. We readily admit. that our
flag is the most beautiful one that flies in any land today.
and an inspection of other flags will verify our assertions.
Renowned in song and story, the Star Spangled Banner
has come to be recognized by all other nations as a symbol of justice, wisdom and mercy. We do well to acclaim it at all times and in all places.
Red of the sunset’s splendor,
White of the snow crowned height,
Blue of the heavens above us,
Stars of the summer night,
Of these was our banner fashioned
As.a symbol of freedom and right.
Let us look up this week and hail our flag wherever. it
is displayed. Let us remember its heroic origin and pay
tribute in our hearts to the men and women who laid the
foundations of our great nation and gave to us so beautiful and significant a symbol of its purposes. Let us
resolve to uphold the dignity of our nation and of our
flag, so that those less fortunate than ourselves may see
a light shining through earth’s darkness and find the paths
that lead to peace and a true recognization of all that we
are seeking to achieve.
Our flag symbolizes the truth that all men were created equal, that inherent in each human creature are the
rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our
flag knows no prejudices, it signifies no discriminations,
knows no border, birth nor creed; under its folds all men
are indeed equal; freedom and its rights are the privileges
of all.
I hope that we may acclaim our flag with the heart
and with the spirit; I hope that we may make ourselves
worthy of so wonderful a symbol by discarding our intolerances and in practicing, not a negative tolerance, but
a vital and positive: tolerance which has within it the
thought of lifting up and aiding those less fortunate than
we ourselves. This way lies wisdom and of all the attributes of man, wisdom is at thepresent time the greatest
one to be desired.
Ignorance and superstition are the parents of bigotry,
and intolerance. and together with hate, envy, spite, greed
and other demons that beset our minds, they combine to
produce persecution, injustice and in fact, all the evils
which have afflicted humanity since the first man stepped
down from his ancestral tree and gazed upon a world that
was good, until he made it evil.
Let us strive to be truly worthy of our beautiful banner,
let us cast away our moth-eaten prejudices and stand
unashamed in the presence of this great symbol of human
hope and happiness. Let us not degrade .ourselves and
our flag by unworthy thoughts, words and actions; let
us resolve that insofar as we are able the integrity of our
land and of our flag will be forever sacrosanct.
Let us above all renew our faith in our country and in
our flag, let us truly believe that the storms will pass;
that the sun will shine again above this harrassed world
and that our country and our flag will lead in the march
toward the better day of which we dream.
