. Third Term 'Exceeds War As Nena .
Greater than the danger of any invasion of this Continent by a foreicn power as an immediate threat to American
institutions and to a continuance of the personal liberties of
the citizens of the United States, is the deepening shadow of a
third term effort by President Roosevelt.
If successful. such an effort would effectively nullify the
Constitutional safeguards against Executive usurpation and
lead to a completely altered and restricted way of life for every
American.
:
That there is to be such an effort no informed person now
seriously questions. Indeed, if Mr. Roosevelt did not entertain
such purpose he would openly have renounced it at a time
when the international situation cries out for personal ambitions to give way to an unselfish national unity.
Through the powars already gained by the proclaiming
of a long succession of “national emergencies” the New Deal
Administration now wields almost complete control over the
-Nation’s monetary system, over wages and hours of labor,
Over communications, tariffs, banking, the growing or curtailment of crops, the securities markets and in many other
fields.
Few can doubt that another New Deal endorsement at
. the polls in November would be accepted as a ‘“‘mandate”’ to
make these and additional powers sought by the Executive,
both an absolute and permanent grant.
The members of the Republican Party, no less than its
leaders, foresee the perils of the situation but welcome the
challenge it creates.
They believe that the time has come for the American
people, once and for all, to determine whether we are to remain a nation of free people, under a representative form of
government or whether we are to relinquish our individual
rights and prerogatives as citizens, in favor of an adaption of
some imported ideology of government, such as is now blast-.
ing the_lives-and-devastating-the hopes and-homes of millions}
of innocent and helpless men, women and children abroad.
This is the issue of the coming national election and no
other issue can becloud it.
For 150 years the . have bulwarked the
Constitution by adherence to the tradition against a Third
‘Term for any President, as advised by\George Washington, a
precept forcefully reiterated by Jefferson, Jackson and other
Democrats, as well as Republicans. The framers of the Constitution itself were many of them in favor ofa single term for
the President but the sound judgment and cgmmon sense of
the citizenry was finally relied upon to exercise restraint upon personal ambition.
In the case of Mr. Roosevelt, he has made it evident that
he is not amenable to the dictates of self-restraint.
It, therefore, rests with, the American people, war or no
war, to reject this bid for unlimited tenure of office, and for
unlimited powers.
That they will do just this, and in summary fashion) at
the November election cannot be doubted unless;we are to
believe that we have lost completely our capacity and genius
for self government and have abandoned all the ideals of
democracy that, as a nation, we have cherished and fought for
since the Declaration of Independence.—Contributed.
Two Ways Of LifeThis is Convention Time in the United States. Once
every four years, the various parties get together with considerable fanfare and choose their candidates for the Presidency
of this country. It is a notable affair always, and especially this
year when so many countries are at war and so many lands
are living under a system where one party is all-supreme and
unchangeable by the orderly processes of election.
In this country, the Communist party was one of the first
to meet. Small in numbers, ‘it has been loud in its insistence
upon its rights in our democracy, rights which no citizen enjoys in Russia, land of the party’s birth. Respectful of the
rights of minorities—even a minority standing for everything
that true Americans despise—the great radio networks of this
country agreed to broadcast the convention proceedings.
This gave hundreds:of radio stations throughout the
country the “opportunity” to schedule the Communist Convention. It was at this point that the true difference between
two ways of life was revealed, for almost all of the stations exercised their democratic right to turn down the program and
play “canned music” instead. They knew that their American
listeners would not be interested.
If the same situation had occurred in Russia, or Germany
or Italy, the stations wouldn't have had to make a choice. They
would have been told what to do. And there wouldn’t have

Little incidents like these point up the distinction between

SISTERS IN SURPRISE VISIT
Ernest Mohr of Nevada City had a
tion circulators are busy on many
fronts in California, not only on the
proposed recall of Governor Olson
and the Ham and
Eggs initiative but
on a variety of
other lesser measures that hopeful
sponsors would
like on the ballot.
When it all simpractical politics,
there seems to be
about a 50-50 toss
sia ssi up that the recall
John W Dunlap. wij) qualify, the
same odds the ham and eggers -will
get the required 212,117-signatures
to qualify their initiative, and a good
chance that daylight saving will be
the only other initiative to qualify
for the ‘November election.
The certification deadline is June
27.
The daylight saving measure already is on the ballot. Its fate is
somewhat uncertain in California, although the plan is widely used in the
east.
There are several other initiatives
being circulated, such as a one-house
legislature, a state gross’ receipts
tax, absolute prohibition, and legalization of a state lottery on football
and baseball games.
The ham and eggers have certiied about 23,000 names with Secreof State Paul Peek, claim to
its promoters but political observers
are wondering if the less than 100,000 votes sesured. by the Willis Allen pension ticket in the May presidential primaries was a feather in
the wind indicating a split up of the
pension strength.
While there may be a scarcity of
initiatives on the Novamber ballot,
the nine constitutional endments
will provoke: their share of discussion. The measures were passed by the
1939 legislature for submission o the
voters. Briefly stated, they ar& as
follows:
Releasing liens on property of ol
age pensioners; authorizing creation
of legislative fact-finding committees; repealing requirement that
election returns for governor and
lieutenant governor be directed to
the legisuature; insurance of public
officers against personal ‘iability;
authorizing state to hold stock in
mutual water companies; requiring
chartered political subdivisions to
conform to state law in special assessment districts; providing judicial review of orders by boards and
commissions; prohibiting transfer of
municipally owned public _ utility
funds to other purposes, and authorizing sale or lease of state park
lands containing oil or gas deposits.
Governor Olson is at his best wlten
speaking extemporaneously before a
crowd, as was demonstrated when he
made a swing through Napa, Sonoma
and (Mendocino counties as far north
as Fort Bragg. He had the knack of
putting his audience at ease and even
spoke in his shirtsleeves in Ukiah
because most of his hearers had done
many years to make the trip to isol-; pleasant surprise last Friday when
ated Fort Bragg, visited other towns two sisters called to see him, one
where no governor had been before eoming unannounced. The first, Miss

lead the parade.
During the, Fort Bragg rododendron festival, the governor again removed his coat to throw the first
ball at a ball game and later sat
down at a picnic table and ate abalone steaks with his fingers in the
absence of tableware.
The governor has learned that personal contact is the best way to win
support. He is taking every opportunity to see conditions firsthand, moreso than during his first year. He has
developed the knack of relaxing: in
the back seat of his limousine between appearances and shows none
of the ill health that dogged his first
years in office.
After a long delay, the new furniture for the governor’s office arrived
from San Quentin prison and caused
quite a commotion. The huge work
desk had an inlaid top of alternating
dark and light brown cork squares,
with a large gold seal of the State
of California on the front of the
desk. Behind the governor was another smaller desk, with corresponding cork squares, while three smaller tables were on the other three
walls.
The chairs for the office were of
bright yellow leather with blue trim.
Whole layout was in the extreme
modernistic style of the entire modernized governor's office, as executed
by the state department of architecture.

what they can to make the celebration contribute whatever it can
toward the Red Cross. If committee finds it cannot do this effectively let no one hold any rancor,
for after all, the committee had
started on its course before the
realization of Europe’s tremendous
need had fully dawned on many of*
us.
\And, please, let us have no
ca ing at each other’s patriotism.
It is. a futile and silly business
leading to as much, or _ perhaps
more dissension than differences
in: religiots thinking create. Let
every man assume that his neighbor is just a& patriotic as he is,
and we shall live happier lives in
this troubled time.
