NEVADA CITY N UCCET chee MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1939. PAGE TWO.. Nevada City Nugget ——_______—+_—_—\3935 36.—____ NO STOMACH FOR WAR A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published : at Nevada City. : Editor and Publisher H. M. LEETEPublished Semi-Weekly, Monday and Friday at ‘ Nevada City, California, and entered as mail <3 ‘matter of the second class in the postoffice at ‘\ Nevada City, under Act of Congress, March 3, SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) .......------------------+ $2.50 The New Deal is currently manifesting heart-breaking solicitude for the little fellows in the business world. If motivated by something more than fear for 1940, this is laudable, if belated. But if it is the type of New Deal “cooperation with big business, the little fellows may devoutely pray to be delivered from their “‘friends.”’ ae Small business has every reason to be skeptical of this sudden New Deal interest. And this skepticism will not be opoly Committee which involved economic theories which are Greek to the small business man. The little fellow knows that the New Deal long since could have bettred his lot by revision of the intricate Federal “tax structure. He knows that the President has consistently refused ‘to take the lead in this. He also knows that even at this late day the President has done nothing more than to “consent” reluctantly to tax revision when pressure from business and the Congress made any other course impossible. Business men, big and little, are not opposed 'to an equitable corporation tax. They have become familiar with it; they find it relatively simple and easy to compute. But they are heavily burdened when on top of the corporation income tax ‘they are required to compute and file returns on an undistributed profits tax, a capital stock tax, an excess profits tax, an unemployment compensation tax, and old age pension insurance tax and various sales and nuisance excises and other Jevies, Federal, state and local. Because of the complicated Federal tax requirements, the heads of large corporations find it necessary to keep lawyers and accountants at their elbows and consult them on nearly every management decision. Many medium-sized corporations spend more money on pay in taxes. The real “‘little fellows’ can’t afford all of this extra highpriced help. They have to do their own wrestling with the multitude of tax problems and returns — and that doesn’t business. pie hy gations which get nowhere. They are demanding the removal of obvious handicaps NOW !—Contributed. Plain Arithmetic only the ridicule of New Dealers who prate incessantly but vaguely of economic security, it was the objective of many Americans to save as much.as $1,000 for a rainy day. Some measure of their success may be found in statistics which show that the avings banks today have 45,000,000 depositors and that the average balance is $550. : The ambition of a sizeable, if smaller, number of the thrifty was to accumulate life savings that could be safely invested to assure an annual income of $1,000 for old age. This goal was within the reach of the mechanic, the farmer, the business man and the professional man in 1920 if he had, through a lifetime of toil, been able to save about $1 7,300. That amount, invested in government bonds, would have produced an income of $1,000 a year. _ But today at the present. rate of return, the saver would have to have $43,000 to invest in Government bonds to produce the $1,000 income. e Why is it just 2/4 times as hard today for the thrifty to provide a nest egg for old age as it was in 1920? The answer is obvious: New Deal borrowing of billions in conjunction with policies which have paralyzed enterprise and dried up the demand of ponies for new capital has eliminated competion in the money market and has driven the interest rate down to @ point where some Government issues yield less than onetenth of one per cent.—Contributed. SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.—A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana, president of the California State Chamber of ‘Commerce, today announced the seltion of San Francisco as the 1939 tte Chamber Annual Conference den stated that the selection. was made principally to give the State Chamber’s thousand and more delegates an opportunity to attend the two day conference and also visit the exposition on Treasure Island in San Francisco bay on the same trip.

AT THE STATE CAPITOL At last the budget is out of the WAY, approved ‘by both houses and iby the time this paper goes to press it will undoubtedly have been signed by the governor. The total decrease in the budget as originally presented by ‘the governor amounts to approximately $15,000,000. With the budget out of the iway it is likeA ly that the ad=. journment can now f be set for either f June 15 or 17. Joint rules of e ; the Senate and A. G. Thurman Assembly require . two weeks to finish up the business budget, This ‘week the. various revenue measures are being heard in the lower house. Undoubtedly the eco. for cutting down the budget will op‘pose some of the revenue measures in an endeavor to keep down taxes. Several bills affecting the rural area and which if they had passed . ;would have lbeen injurious to the . Sixth Assembly District in particular were defeated on the floor of the . assembly last week. Your representative opposed these measures in the debate on the floor. Among these bills was one by Assemblyman Dills, a school teacher from Southern California. This ‘bill proposed a board of three members ;to be appointed by the governor to set-up a voluntary wage scale for agriculture. Your assemblyman took the lead in the fight against this bill with the statement that until the farmer could be guaranteed a price for his product it was inconsistent to pass a llaw which would set up any such ‘board to declaims against the contractor. The bill lost by a vote of 40 to 265. Still another bill which would have added to the tax burden of the state and counties, A. B. 1151 by Atkinson was defeated actually three times last week due to reconsiderations. This ‘bill would have amended the school code. It would have granted teachers who were absent for five school months or less due to illness, to ‘be paid ifull pay for the first six days of their absence and at the rate of $3,00 per day thereafter. On none of the roll call did the bill receive more than 25 favorable votes. A bill sponsored iby the Farm Bureau ‘which would permit farmers to slaughter animals from their own herd and sell to retailers was passed iby the lower house last week. Your representative supported this bill which was introduced by Assemblyman Schwallish of Richmond. ‘The bill was opposed by the large city Meat packers.

Other assemblymen including Seth Millington of Gridley Sacramento opposed the bill during the debate. The bill lost by a vote of 21 ayes to 44 nays. Last Friday another bill affecting the rural counties was defeated. Assemblyman Charles Weber of Stockton, a civil engineer, endeavored to pass bill in the lower house requiring counties to employ engineers instead of county surveyors.
