PAGE SIX ? THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET Friday, June 8, 1934 PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY National Topics Interprete by William Bruckart ae Anoaueasa, TT : — Washingtori.—The expanding influ@nce of the federal government on the 3 lives of individuals Feel Effectsof throughout the UnitNew Deal ed States suddenly has become a matter that is attracting attention, and more and more repercussions are to be noted in the National Capital. Some _ obServers tell me they think it is: an indication that the -multifarious agencies that have been set up under the New Deal are at last-in full operation and their effects are now reaching to the grass roots of the country. However that may be, it can be stated without equivocation that the so-called alphabetical soup (the various administrationsand _boards-and-commissions known only by initials) are making their presence felt for better or for worse in the lives of individuals. I cannot agree with the exaggerated assertion by a leading Republican politician that “we are subject to Hitler decrees from a hundred different sources,” but there seems little doubt of vast power being wielded by the various New Deal agencies. For instance, Harry Hopkins, federal relief administrator, has decreed that there will be no drought relief funds for cattle owners supplied by the federal emergency relief administration unless the holders of any mortgages on those cattle agree not to foreclose such mortgages, And, be it said, the mortgage holder who refuses to make such an agreement is up the well known stump. He can take the cattle, of course, when the mortgage matures, but if the mortgages have many months to run, the cattle are liable to die of starvation in the meantime. Without attempting to de cide the merit of such a policy on the part of the federal government, the illustration shows the power that is wielded from Washington. The Reconstruction Finance corporation has been exercising its influence with banks for some time. While RFC officials insist they are not attempting to control policies of banks, it nevertheless: remains as a fact that they are exercising voting power in the boards of directors of numerous banking institutions. They went so far in the case of a great Chicago bank as to insist that the man they selected be elected by the board as its chairman. In addition, through the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation, the bank policies on loans are closely watched, and this is happening at a time when the President and some of his advisers are strongly urging the banks to make loans. From what I know of the banking business, I tmagine few banks. will hesitate on making loans in large amounts providing the borrower has some security to put up that will. assure repayment of the funds borrowed. * 8 * Under NRA and the numerous codes, various terms and conditions are laid down Typical of for business How Code Works practices, Here is a typical case: the code for the graphic arts industries. has a provision prohibiting extension of credit for longer than two years. That is, a printing plant owner or publisher.of a country newspaper or any one else. wanting to buy a linotype machine had~been allowed sometimes as much as five years in which to pay for expensive equipment of that kind. Now, however, he must pay for it within two years or the manufacturer will be a code violator by selling it on a long term basis. Thus, it is to be seen that the code exerts an influence on what might be called the innocent bystander, The country publisher cannot save up gold with which to pay for the. machinery because he would be a criminal to have gold under present law. Again declaring that I am not discussing the merit of the proposition, it remains as a fact that the federal trade commission is exerting an influence on the type. of investments individuals make as a result of its control over the issue and sale of shares of stock or bonds. Of course, the commission -cannot reach a corporation that {fs doing business only in. its home state. but the larger corporations engage in business on a broader scale than that and the bulk of shares and bonds, therefore, must not be issued until the federal trade commission’s securities experts have determined the facts about the corporation that offers them. It is a matter of record, of course, that numerous corporations have sold purely blue sky stock. but the point I am attempting to make is that here is another federal influence on the lives of individuals. There are so many other examples that could be cited that they would fill more space than is available here, . se as _ As we go through the month of June, another phase of the New Deal becomes effective, I Forest refer to the developnservati: ment of the counCo atnon try’s forests, private_ly as well as publicly, owned. While there will be no noticeable results for . some time, the President’s forest conservation policy has become operative. nevertheless, and it is a long-range affair that is generally accepted as + building for the future. The program which the President ' initiated when he started the Civilian ‘Johnson’s codes declare to all right. se Conservation corps embodies a definite scheme for restoring forests that have been cutover and constitute nothing more than waste land; it provides for selective cutting of trees in lumbering operations, and it is designed to create in the minds.of all citizens the necessity for sustaining: our forests against the time when, at the Present rate of destruction, there would be no more lumber, I was surprised when the forestry service told me that_forest_land was just about one-fourth of the entire area in the United States. But the forestry officials reminded me at the same time that unless there is a serious conservation movement, there is only enough timber in sight to provide lumber for about thirty years more. Mr. Roosevelt is proposing legislation, most of which will be ready for the session of congress meeting in January, 1935, to provide machinery for co-ordinating the efforts of the federal and state governments and for gaining the co-operation of private land ovgners in restoring growing trees. > & A good many Washington observers are wondering how soon the federal trade commission Headed for and NRA are going a Clash : to lock horns. The two agencies’ are certainly headed in the direction of a clash, It is generally conceded here that sooner or later General Johnson’s NRA codes that establish monopolies in various fields of commerce and industry are going to he made_the subject of pithy comment from federal trade commission circles. How soon it will come, or what form the disagreement will take, of course, can be only a matter of conjecture now. It is necessary to recall the basis upon which the federal trade commission was created in order to get a clear understanding of the clash that is to be expected. First of all, the creators of the federal trade commission had in mind the fdea of a federal agency that could be watching big business all of the time. Where it found unfair practices, smothering of the little independent units, and such other conditions as some sharp-shooting businesses use, the commission can, and does, cite them publicly. It goes after the facts in public hearings and exposes the practices. It also issues orders directing the offending businesses to eliminate the objectionable practices. If they choose to disregard the commission orders, the matter is turned over to prosecuting officers of the government and tougher penalties may be imposed. Now, the national recovery act and General Johnson’s codes have gone a long way toward making the commission’s guardianship of little business nil in its effect. The codes permit monopolies, or rather, the codes provide under the recovery act that the anti-trust laws shall not apply to those businesses signing the terms and conditions of the codes. It is seen, therefore, that the provisions of the federal trade commission act can hardly be enforced. That is to say, the commission cannot order a _ business to cease doing something that General be quite Thus far, the commission reasonably quiet about the is true, however, that its members have thoughts about the situation that’ would make interesting reading if they were to be expressed openly. The commission has kicked about a few ef the codes in a mild sort of way. Its criticisms have been, tempered, it is said, by the fact that none knows exactly how to go about effecting a reconciliation of the diverse positions enacted into law in the recovery act and the federal trade commission act.. Apparently, there have heen no instructions. from the White House and so the commission fs looked upon merely as drifting until such time as an administration poNcy is framed. AN But somebody is going to. have to iron out the differences. They cannot go on indefinitely. That fact is obvious. When one government agency goes ahead and allows a thing to be has kept thing. It . done that another government agency has been created to prevent, it is axiomatic that a collision 1s going to occur between them in due course. Few observers, and few important leaders as well, are willing to attempt a. prediction as to the ontcome. One reason is that NRA is under fire from several directions and I believe it’ can. not be said to what extent the general principles of NRA are.going to be come imbedded in our industrial struc ture. e*6.ch6©8 Government officials are becoming more and more concerned about the growth of smuggling and bootlegging “of liquor., A determined effort is be ing made to check this illicit trade, but the optimism expressed by officials charged with the responsibility does not ring very loud. Indeed, the talk I hear in a good many quarters is that there must be some revision downward of the import duties and the local and state taxes on liquor or else the bootlegger and smuggler will be doing as much business as the legitimate, licensed dealers. : @ by Western Newspaper Union. _ Fashions for Juvenile Smart Set By CHERIE UMMERTIME means vacation time, which brings clothes-planning time to hand for mothers who would dress their style-conscious children fashionably and appropriately. Sinee camp life plays so important a part in ; the modern child’s life, it might be well to consifer the clothes question from that point of view. Designers of juvenile sportswear declare there is an increasing tendenc, to feature bright color in camp and playtime apparel. Because materials are strong and sturdy is no reason why they cannot be gaily colorful and attractive. So, the cotton broadcloths, the poplins, the gabardines and the argentine cloth which serve so-admirably for children’s recreation. and everyday utilitarian clothes are coming out in unusually cheerful hues this season. For youngsters who romp through woods and climb and wade and attend “gym” classes the idea of shorts, with inner bloomers that are brought up high so as not to be visible, is advocated. The newest shorts-are pleated at front and back so as to give the appearance of a skirt. After play hours, what then to wear? Why not a cunning tailored ensemble, on the order of the clever three-piece which the pretty little girl, to the left in the picture, is posing? The ensemble theme is being played up enthusiastically for children this season. Being so interchangeable with blouses and such, it is a guarantee of a welldressed appearance for most any child at most any hour of the day. In fact, an outfit like this may be considered NICHOLAS almost an entire wardrobe in Itself. With the jacket on, this lilliputian tailleur of marine blue flannel looks as modish asmother herself wears on cool days and on shopping tours. Looks nice, too, with the coat removed, for that wee _ button-up-the-front blouse of matching blue flat crepe is most wonderfully chic. The older girl in the picture, who is uelping little sister don her smart jacket, has on a sleeveless dress which also admits of interchangeable blouses. The one she Is wearing while she poses for her photograph is -a Mexican-stripe wash silk. Of course it would have to be stripes, for they are smart for everybody, old and young, this season. Style interest in little girls’ dresses is said to center around necklines and sleeves in the newer models. Which accounts for the wide pleated collar which finishes the neck of the wee frock of pale pinkish soft taffeta which the tot to the right in the group is wearing. You will note also that the sleeves are fancifully smocked. The vogue for taffeta has extended into the juvenile realm. If you prefer pastel crepes they are equally as good style for tiny folks’ party frocks. That sweet child in the foreground looks adorable in her airy-fairy frock of embroidered organdie, © by Western Newspaper Union. WATCH NECKLINES By CHERIE NICHOLAS 4 change In necklines is ib progress. High cut fronts are giving way to low cut fronts. after the order of the charming neckline which graces the gown pictured. This stunning cafe dress is fashioned of a handsome chiffon of bemberg. Its beautifully molded-to-the-figure silhouette, together with its Intereating low-front neckline, make it outstanding In midsummer costume — collections. Slim, — long sleeves accented by three tiers of fine. pleated net ruffles and a soft satin bow are intriguing. details. eo PLEATING IS USED QUITE EXTENSIVELY There is much pleating itn use now and it isn’t all used for neckwear, although it does seem as though nothing fluffier than neckwear would be found. Ruffles and frills galore are lovely on some and so absurd on oth. ers. Narrow side pleatings can, however, be worn by almost any figure, which is not true of: the draped polonaise. The time has come to speak a word in favor of brown, The season is so clearly a blue one that women have been inclined to underestimate the high style interest in brown. During the first showings of the imports for midsummer brown was impressive and soirething of a surprise for, by that time, women were so happy that it was a blue year. With the interesting brown and white, brown and grege and brown and beige prints, came lovely costumes in which yellow and brown were pleas. antly associated. Brown Still in Picture as Nifty Summer Color While it is true that navy and black are leaders in spring fashions for daytime, it becomes increasingly apparent that brown is to be reckoned with. It is an important color by itself and espeelally in. prints, particularly printed crepes. The brown prints are featured in separate frocks, in jacket costumes and also itn long coat ensembles and redingotes, and it’s interesting to observe the definite favor shown com. binations of plain and printed crepes, featuring brown shades. A favorite version is the jacket costume with monotone skirt, worn with printed Jacket and bodice, and costumes of this sort are attractive when done in polka dots,: dots in dime or quarter size. Brown*¥with white is then the favored combination. Straw Cloth Appears Straw cloth is a new material that has all the ear-marks of novelty with the more stable benefits of practicability. It consists of cellophane woven op artificial silk. * ATTORNEYS MINING ENGINEERS HARRY M. McKEE Attorney at Law -° 205 Pine St., opposite courthouse : Nevada City, Calif. W. E. WRIGHT ATTORNEW.
