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 107 mm street Nevada County Photo Center PHONE 67 Portraits, Commercial Photography, 8 Hour Kodak Finishing, Old Copies, Droroenapres Enlarging and Framing, Kodaks and Photo Supplies, Grass Valley Movie Cameras and Films “SUBSCRIBE FOR THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET UR MIND ON OUR BUSINESS!

Little incidents like these point up the distinction between . the two systems—and incidentally, the stations in question . exercised their domecratic rights well and judged the interests of their audiences very wisely !—Contributed.

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.

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. THINKING OUT LOUD (Continued from Page One) 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. ANNIVERSARY Evangeline Chapter, E.
