Johnson. 2 — The Nevada. City Nugget, Friday, June 16, 1950 Nevada City Nugget s 305 Broad Street — Nevada’ City, California Telephone 36 J WILSON McKENNEY and KENNETH W. WRAY Editors and Publishers Ifember California Newspaper Publishers Association Published every Friday at Nevada City, California, and entered as second class matter in the postoffice at-Nevada City under act of Congress March 3, 1879. Subscription rates: one year outside county $3; one year in county $2.50; four months $1 (invariably paid ‘in advance). Advertising rates on request. . 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. ADELINE MERRIAM CONNER. The goodman’s hope is laid far—far beyond the sway of tempest, or the furious sweep of mortal desolation. —H. K. White. As wisdom without courage is futile, even so faith pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.—Samuel . without hope is nothing worth; for hope endures and Human hope and faith should join in nature’s grand harmony, and, if on minor key, make music in the heart. (es _. overcomes misfortune and evil.—Martin Luther. It is hope which makes the shipwrecked sailor strike out with his arms in the midst of the sea, though no land is in sight—Ovid.
