. A Plank For Consumers

_ They've been thinking up “‘planks”’ at Cleveland for the!
Republican party platform, and toward the end of the month .
the Demo-rats will get together to think up some for theirs.
, In both platforms there will be planks for the farmer, for!
business, for labor, for youth, for the aged. for the unemploy.
ed—which is all well and good, since each of these individual
groups within our population has a right to know what the
riva! parties plan to.do for them. fe .
But has anyone thought of a plank for the consumer? °
It’s just possible that millions who have no particular .
axe to grind, but who do have to make dollars go as far as por
sible even to get food enough; would like to fnow what the)
parties plan to do for them. ; .
Laws that boost the consumer's food costs—not so the
extra money he lays out goes to the farmers, but rather to pay Hi
for lost economies of volume and direct-to-buyer merchandisine—are a major issue in the nation today. How do the
parties stand on this issue?
Whatever the other complex arguments, the obvious net
result of nrchibitively heavy taxes on multiple stores is simp
ly this: a bill adding up to about ten cents more every time
a consumer fills the market. basket with a dollar’s worth of
steak. spinach, breakfast food, etc.
Maybe the political parties believe consumers are wil!
ing to pay this cost for whatever else the laws will do. If se
let the party platforms carry ‘consumers’ planks’’ saying a<
much; but in any case, have such planks, and not dodge an
issue so important. :
Or perhaps, so long as the consumer remains unorganized and unchampioned, the only “‘plank’’ ever fashioned for
him will be the kind with a handle on it—one they can swinz
like a ball bat.

. RE-OPENS TO PUBLIC,
‘Editor's Note: With the revived
interest in California history, The
Nugget presents another in the series of historical early California
missions.
In the Valley of the Bears, ar
named by Gaspar de Portola and his
men on their first expedition from
San Diego north in search of Monterey Bay in 1769, Father oe 3
Serra on September 1, 1772, fouttded the Mission San Luis Obispo de
Tolosa, fifth in his chain of Franciscan stations.
~Progressing slowly on their march
northward, Portola.and his soldiers
encountered many ferocious bears ee
. between the mouth of the Sanita
‘Maria River and the present site of @. San Luis Obispo and killed a numher of them for food. Father Juan
. Crespi, whose abilty for picking
future mission locations was Tremarkable, accompanied Portola as
did Father Francisco Gomez. Both
padres left for posterity interesting
diaries describing the trip and the
discovery of what now is San Luis
Obispo. While-the soldiers called
the valley where the Valley of Bears,
Fr. Crespi named it La Canada. de
la Natividad de Neustra Senora because he arrived there on the eve of
‘he Nativity of the Blssed Virgin,
September 7, 1769.
As we know, Portola failed to find
Monterey Bay and returned to San
Digeo discouraged and determined
to return to Mexico. However, hewas spurred “6n to make another attempt by Fr. Serra and set out again
from San Diego on. April 17, 1770,
while Fr. Serra, presidente of the
‘California Missions, went with a sea
expedition which anchored in Monterey Bay shortly after Portola reached there by land.
Ten Franciscan friars arrived at
. Monterey from Mexico on May 21,
. 7771, but.lack of food supplies at
Ps and San Diego, delayed the
founding of Mission San Luis Obis, po. Indeed, while awaiting ships and
‘supplies from Mexico, Captain Pedro
Fages with some of his men returned to the Valley of the Bears on a
hunting trip and sent back to Monterey and Mission San Antonio 9,000-¢>
pounds of bear meat. y
The. ships with food reached San
iDiego in August, 1772, and landed
with their gargoes there for trans
portation north. So Fr. Serra set
out for San Diego Fages, determined
to found Mission San Luis Obispo on
his way south.
'
DESCRIPTION OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO .
Those familiar with the thriving
of San Luis Obispo of today,
where is situated the mission of that
name, may be interested in the deseription of the site as recorded by
Mr. Francisco Palou, biographer of
Fr. Serra. Speaking of the expedition of Fages and the establishment
of the mission, Fr. Palou wrote:
“Thus in time the company arrived in the vicinity of Bear Valley.
After surveying the locality, it was
determined to found the mission
about half a league before reaching
the Canada do los Osos, yet in sight
of it, on a level plot, which to all
appeared most. suitable for the mission on account of two little arroyos
which contained water with sufieient lands that with but little trouhle could be irrigated from them.
For the site of the mission a slight
elevation below which ran the two
arroyos was designated. The Cross
was constructed and immediately an
arbor (enramada( was erected for
the chapel. After tne blessing and
the sacred ceremonies. the Standard
of our Redemption was planted and
venerated. On September first of
said year 1772, the Rev. Father
Presidente Serra celebrated the first
holy mass on an altar, which had
been prepared in the arbor, and thus
the beginning was made of the mission dedicated in honor of San Luis
Obispo do Tolosa.’”’
The padres of those early mission
days were ennured to privations, but
it would seem that Fr. Jose Cavaller
left at San Luis Obispo by Fr. Serra
when he resumed his journey to San
Diego, must have been endowed with
superhuman ability to sustain him
self and his assistants on scant a
tions for Fr. Palou records that:
“As a guard for said mission, Captain Fages left two leather jacket
soldiers and three Catalonian volunteers. In addition, the Fr, Presidente
assigned two Lower Californio néophytes in order that they might begin to build the dwelling and chapel. For the maintenance of the missionary Father, the five soldiers and
the two Indians, the captain left y
there fifty pounds of flour, three
pecks of wheat for sowing, a quantity of chocolate, and a _ box. of
