Pleaders for the “tax and spend”’ philosophy of government have recently cooked up a novel argument to reassure row’s higher ones. They explain that the 40 billion dollar public debt of this country is nothing to worry about, since it is a debt that Americans owe themselves: an “internal debt” which John Smith as private individual will some day pay to John Smith as citizen of the United States. In that case we wonder whether, the next time the tax collector appears. he would object if John Smith. to settle his obligations to John Smith, cancelled his ‘internal debt” by merely taking the amount of his taxes out of one pocket and putting it in another? If the tax collector really believes our “tax and spend’’ philosophers, he could scarcely object to the procedure—and think of the trouble and red tape saved for all concerned!— Contributed. ; “Letters From The People”’ After all now living are dust, and historians seek to retrace the ebb and flow of public opinion through this turbulent depression era, the keener students will undoubtedly pass up leather bound:tomes on political science and economics, and pass up musty records of specific legislative bills. They will ge to the “Letters From the People’, columns in yellowed newspapers of city, town and hamlet. Therein they will find the direct answer to the rrzzle of 1939: Why, suddenly, did economy blocs spring up in state capitols the nation over, compelling a swing away from the greatest public spending spree in world history? Why did 20 state legislatures, including that of California, make an unyielding stand against terrific spending pressure, fighting through to slash budgets or to block all attempts to increase the tax load? For in those letters, the plain, everyday but sovereign American citizen has his say, and trends in his thinking are unmistakably recorded. A few years ago, as his letters then showed, he was undecided in his opinions on proposed depression cures. So, when the great experiment of spending, of throwing budgets out of balance and of abnormal taxation was launched, the average citizen expressed a give-it-a-chance-towork attitude. But gradually, as time passed, as debts piled mountain high while industrial profits dwindled; as pumppriming exhausted business instead of reviving it—the tone _ of the average citizen’s letters slowly changed. © “I've made up my mind,” he writes today. ‘“The plan has had a fair try. It hasn’t worked. Let's go back to earning a dollar before we spend it. Let's trim budgets till they are balanced—and cut taxes so that private industry can take the unemployed off relief rolls and put them back on real payrolls.” Slowly and reflectively matured, then collectively and forcibly expressed, the voice of the American people is being heeded. Then, too, if the historian of posterity will poke about among the.ancient ruins of the capitol at Sacramento, in the mouldering desks he'll likely find evidence that legislators also received—and read—‘‘Letters From The People.’’-—Contributed. The Star-Spangled Banner those who feel concern over today’s high taxes and tcmor: monsters of the deep, are devices of the devil? contributed not one iota to the happiness and well being of mankind; on the contrary, grim trails of ruin and despair. They have wantonly destroyed life and property, ideals of what a civilized world should represent to its inhabitants. oe \\ \ Sundays 11:30 to 12:30 129 South Auburn St., Grass Valley S. F.

Jura ~WONDER-IN’ I wonder why so many words Are forced to team together, Like to and fro and status quo; And also wind and weather; And there are other pairs beloved Of cultured folk and yeggs, For instance, pork and beans, my dears, And good old ham and eggs. I wonder if recent attempts to streamline the language, will tend to speed up speech and make us all more crisply articulate. . In this peculiar era of waste and haste, rascals and radicals, there is no time for circumlocution; so it may be expedient to adopt the new word structures, even though they do sound somewhat weird and appear unduly foreshortened. Dr. Funk, of dictionary fame, is interested in the coinage of words one of which will do the work of several others, and many of the new inventions are not at all displeasing. Now do you suppose we shall ever find ourselves alluding to porkybenes and hamnegs? I wonder why our governor doesn’t comply with the request of San Francisco's Young Democrats; surely, if a measure is important enough to demand a special election at this time, it should be most thoroughly elucidated, in order that voters may be guided by informed intelligence, instead of bemused emotion. This fantastic proposition which we call Ham and Eggs, has been tried in other localities and died disastrously of its own unbearable weight. Californians who desire the prosperity and security of state institutions, don’t want anything to “die on em;”’ Please, Mr. Governor, see to it that we are. made acquainted with this measure, fully acquainted, so that we may make no mistaken decisions when you call your special election. I wonder if what this world needs above all else, is an Anti-Horror Crusade. The sinking of two submersibles within a few days of each other, with consequent loss of human life, has shocked the world with the ghastly brutality of peace time tragedy. Are we not convinced that these unspeakable ay The invention of bombing planes and sub-marines, have they have marked land’and set with and are fast destroying out dreams and The world is filled with war's alarms, Stout hearts grow cold with dread; Death lurks beneath the sullen wave And rides the wrack o’er head. —A.
