The County Seat Paper. . NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, The Gold Center ssi ( sti(‘i‘éM NAY. JUNE 2 23, 1941. Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. . . We like best those Chief Executives who came up to the White House by the hard way, as did Cleveland, Wilson, Coolidge, Garfield, Grant, McKinley, Hoover and others. We think a poor boy who wins to the Presidency knows his country better. We distrust Mr. Roosevelt because of his enormous egotism, the outgrowth of his spoiled, spoonfed childhood. This egotism is reflected in his bitterness toward all successful busimess in this country. We surmise that having tried a number of times to increase the enormous fortune to which he was heir by engaging in business and having signally failed, that there is something deeper than personal pique in his hostility toward those who have succeeded in business. In the present crisis, in dire need of business brains in managing ‘the defense preparations, the President calls in dollar-a-year men, but he does not trust any of them with theresponsibility, for instance, that President Wilson reposed in Bernard Baruch or in Herbert Hoover, The trouble with Roosevelt is, he has never. experienced-the “‘seamy—of——_life.”’-_-He has been a child of good fortune. But we do not, however, deny that such a man though handicapped, can give his country good service. On the contrary we do heart-ily approve the measures recently taken to humble Hitler. Furthermore, we think his foreign policy is the only policy,anyPresident could put into ae FEN during the present emergency. We _ lament that’: he has not leaped to the opportunity to become the national Jeader and that every act thus ‘far seems tardy. He waits on the voice of the people as a politician, instead molding public opinion, and leading the people as_ their wartime chief. But he does act, at Jong last. Dismissal of all German consuls and agencies in this country will relieve the FBI of an enormous strain and worry and enable it to focus attention upon a smaller group of saboteurs and _ spies. The German embassy will now be compelled to take over the espionage functions of the consular officers and the embassy can be more easily watched by the FBI than consuls scattered over the country. The fact that Germany and Italy have dismissed our America consuls, need not trouble us too much. Anything they might provide in the way: of information that got by the Gestapo would be worthless by the time it reached the State Department in any event. Hitler does things differently than we in our easy doing democracy. It is particularly pé2asing that Fritz Wiedemann, bosom friend of Hitler, has gotten his demittus. We hope his master gives him a captaincy in one of ithe panzer divions or make him leader of a stuka squadron. We never. took much stock in the plaint of the adventurous woman ‘who sued him for back pay, but, as the saying goes, we did not put it past him that he had employed her on sisister missions. But what we like most about the parting with Wiedemann is that the and Harry Bridges will no longer live in the same city. If Bridg-es eventually is returned to Australia and Wiedemann to Germany, we surmise the two will do less plotting. That ithey have: plotted, anyone cognizant of the use Hitler is making of the communists, can have no doubt. The affrontery of Bridges, on trial as an undesirable alien, and for fomenting revolt against the United States government, in wiring the strikers in the North American aviation plant to “heat a strategic retreat’ rather than engage in battle with Uncle Sam’s troops, is an amazing spectacle. Back of the strike and Bridgges vociferous cheering it on, ‘we have not a doubt in the world, was the hand of Wiedemann. ‘ Freezing the funds of the dic. . pital . illness. .

So far as funds belonging to our citizens in Italy and Germany are concerned, they "were lost anyway, frozen or not.

Mrs. Lydia Gleason and the. girls and boys had made a pleasing adaption of a playet “Golden Treasures’’,' which was given in an open air sei-. ting among the pines. The theme exemplified the fact that treasures are not always found as real gold but in the lovely contributions that nature gives us to enjoy. This was fol-! lowed by an interesting and patriotic tribute to our flag given by the children with the vistiors joining in the “Pledge of Allegiance.’’ Upon returning to the school musical numbers were given in a pleasing manner by Joyce Arbogast and George Nelosn, who graduated from the Blue Tent school last year. Mrs.! Sylva Mosher, general supervisor,' presented the diplomas to the two graduates, Katherine Conti and Lew-’ is Nelson.

The letter follows: Nevada City Nugget Nevada City, California Dear Mr. Leete: The death knell for the California SRA was sounded when the legislature adjourned sine die last’ Monday night operating under stopped clocks from Saturday noon. Senate Bill 133, which was passed by both houses and vetoed by the governor, failed to become law because the senate did not override the veto—although an attempt was made on three separate occasions to "accomplish this purpose. I have always believed, and still do, that the county should administer relief through an integrated program without other categorical aids. “This, however, could not become law and, realizing it would be a great mistake to adjourn the legislature. without attempting some form of ‘injected bills in: the hope they would at least bring the two conflicting factions together that they might agree upon some form of legislation that would not completely! abolish the SRA immediately and pass the relief load back upon the local taxpayers. The bills introduced -were not perfect ‘by any means, but were far better than what we now have, which: is nothing, except that California real estate in the various counties ‘will have to bear the burden of relief. f In my estimation, this problem , and its far reaching effect upon local taxpayers is not one where two different philosophies should collide prohonest, sincere effort to work out a program of compromise to prevent a calamity. Administration and anti-administration forces adopted a dog in the headquarters of the SRA will be in’ attend the flineral servises manger attitude, not giving an inch in either direction; which places the! innocent third parties, the relief recipients and the local taxpayers, in the-position of receiving the blunt ultimatum that ‘‘we do not care what able to preserve our particular philospphy in regard to the relief probI am advised by relief experts that Los Angeles County alone will have to assume a $500,000 additional burThis also applies proportionately to other large metropolitan! areas where the relief load. is the heaviest. Legislation is one thing and common decency is another, and I never ean agree with either party that to do nothing is good legislative act-) ivity, nor is it good administrative! judgment. When the time comes that! public officials can not sit down with open mind and discuss state prob-! lems honestly and come to an understanding for the public good, then democracy fails and : dictatorships come into being. This, to me, is what happened in Sacramento in the closing days of the session. Both sides dictated to the other ‘what they couid have or could not have with the ultimate result that the. innocent people involved are the sufferers and not those who failed to exercise common judgment. The governor states he will not; call a special session. The majority . of the legislature state they will not, vote any funds for relief as long as! the state has anything to do with its . administration. With this deadlock . confronting us, I personally do not. know what the future holds unless mon sense thinking .on the part of both groups and force a decision in this matter. While it may not be perfect in its conception, it ‘will at least eliminate the hardship upon the taxpayers who own real property. We then may look to the future in hope that we can work out an integrated program that will eliminate political flurries in the future and give California a. sound social welfare system. We, who sat in the middle of this great controversy and made a sincere effort to bring about an adjustment of differences of opinion, have been criticised for jumping from one Jerrold Seawe!] in’ 700 EMPLOYES School ‘Trimices Complete side to the. other. If it is wrong to attempt to work out of a stalemate. such as now exicts, then myself and . several other senators are to be criticised, but, to me, this is what me were sent to Sacramento to doo} ‘to. adjust our differences and not take a pig-headed attitude in regard to the people’s ‘welfare. I believe we} Jegislature and the governor’ from leaving Sacramento without at least making some effort to bring about a settlement, I assume, of honest differences of opinion, I sincerely hope the governor will recede from his decision not to call a special session for I believe if he would call into conference various leaders prior to the convening of a special session that both sides could come to an agreement that could be presented at the special session and accepted—thus eliminating the cat-., astrophe that confronts real property taxpayers in this state at thig time, and also eliminate the confusion that . confronts the various boards of supervisors in attempting to make up their annual budgets and tax rates. The legislature and the governor can and should work out this problem without further delay. Sincerely yours, JERROLD L. SRA TO DISMISS SEAWELL.

We like best those Chief Executives who came up to the White House by the hard way, as did Cleveland, Wilson, Coolidge, Garfield, Grant, McKinley, Hoover and others.

Dismissal of all German consuls and agencies in this country will relieve the FBI of an enormous strain and worry and enable it to focus attention upon a smaller group of saboteurs and _ spies. The German embassy will now be compelled to take over the espionage functions of the consular officers and the embassy can be more easily watched by the FBI than consuls scattered over the country.

Senate Bill 133, which was passed by both houses and vetoed by the governor, failed to become law because the senate did not override the veto—although an attempt was made on three separate occasions to "accomplish this purpose.

When the time comes that! public officials can not sit down with open mind and discuss state prob-! lems honestly and come to an understanding for the public good, then democracy fails and : dictatorships come into being. This, to me, is what happened in Sacramento in the closing days of the session. Both sides dictated to the other ‘what they couid have or could not have with the ultimate result that the. innocent people involved are the sufferers and not those who failed to exercise common judgment. The governor states he will not; call a special session.

With this deadlock . confronting us, I personally do not. know what the future holds unless mon sense thinking .on the part of both groups and force a decision in this matter. While it may not be perfect in its conception, it ‘will at least eliminate the hardship upon the taxpayers who own real property. We then may look to the future in hope that we can work out an integrated program that will eliminate political flurries in the future and give California a. sound social welfare system.

I believe we} Jegislature and the governor’ from leaving Sacramento without at least making some effort to bring about a settlement, I assume, of honest differences of opinion, I sincerely hope the governor will recede from his decision not to call a special session for I believe if he would call into conference various leaders prior to the convening of a special session that both sides could come to an agreement that could be presented at the special session and accepted—thus eliminating the cat-., astrophe that confronts real property taxpayers in this state at thig time, and also eliminate the confusion that . confronts the various boards of supervisors in attempting to make up their annual budgets and tax rates. The legislature and the governor can and should work out this problem without further delay. Sincerely yours, JERROLD L. SRA TO DISMISS SEAWELL.
