It is worth repeating, since it shows graphically how far the American people have suffered their traditional liberties to be put in jeotpardy. 1 Human beings progress from hondage to spiritual faith, 2 From spiritual faith to courage. 3 From courage to freedom. 4 From freedom to some measure of physical abundance.— 5 From abundance to ness. ‘ 6 From’ selfishness to complacency. 7 From-complacency to, apathy. 8 From apathy to fear. 9 From fear to dependency. back to. 6elfish10 ‘From: dependency bondage. — That is a. striking concept—and one to cause disquiet to millions old enough to have been adult a generation ago. An autopsy upon the body of Ballantyne Browne found dead Tuesday in Alleghany revealed that he had not suffered from a fractured skull though scalp cuts and contusions indicated considerable . injury. The autopsy made by Dr. Norbert Frey, indicated he had died of a brain. . hemorrhage. Browne was found alive, partly covered with snow and minus trousgrs by two workmen at 7 o’clock in the morning. They carried him into the Golden Eagle Inn barroom, assuming that he was drunk. Hotel employes coming to ‘work at 10 o’clock in the morning found him dead.

Inflation in the urban areas se ed a nation wide depression in agriculture, because farm produce pri: es did not rise to match the costs of manufactured goods and “elevated wage scales. Depressed farm buying © power spread its effect to depress the mar‘ket for products of urban management an'd labor—and so the depression crept over America to cause the disaster of 1929. At that point, complacency apathy gave way to fear. The New Deal came in. It was a philosophy based on fear. The sturdy self reliance that was traditionally American was dispossessed ‘by a negative reliance upon government. At first, millions of people accepted government make work jobs and doles as emergency relief—then with time wame to depend upon them ag permanently necessary. The extent to which the American people have slipped into the anemia of dependency upon government has been demonstrated startingly since the end of the war emergency. All basis for depression era fear has gone. The nation has enormous pent up buying power, and a dearth of workers instead of‘a surplus. Yet the mhilosophy of dependency is still a tremendous ‘force in this nation— tending toward-outright bondage to government. Government now proposés with the concurrence and support of an astonishing number of Americans to guarantee full employment for everyone; to guarantee wages whether @ man works or not;; to care for. every person in . sickness and in health; to set rules and regulations for every phase of life, business and (private. People are no longer according to this. entrenched philosophy to depend upon personal initjative and courage for anything they meed. In any eventuality, they’ll be taken care of by government. The price? There’s the rub. The government would confer all those benefits at the ‘people’s \expense. At the present rate of taxation—federal, state and _ local— every wage earner, every business. man, every farmer contributes fully a third of his income to government in hidden or direct taxes.

TOBE ENLARGED SAIN FRANCISCO, March 18—A hope that the University of California medical center at San Francisco will become one of the great medical centers of the world was expressed today .by Gov. Elarl] Warren. The governor approved a $4,000,000 appropriation for a new science building and new teaching hospital at the institution. He previously had approved a $7,000,000 appropriation for establishing a medical clinic and teaching center at University of California at Los Angeles. With a modern medical center in both northern and southern California the governor said, the state will ibe nearer a goal of the best teaching facilities it ig possible to develop. The basis of all our prosperity and happiness is the health of our people, he added. Dr. F. F. Smyth dean of. the UC Medical School said the new facilities will enable the institution ito intensify its apprentice type of medical training. “Formerly he said the education of physicians and surgeons was confined largely to lecture classes with little actual bedside training. Assemblyman (‘Thomas Maloney who witnessed signing of the bill said 70 per cent of the patients treated at the university clinic come from outside San Francisco. In_ other) words it serves the entire state, he said. ees ‘Maloney and Assembly G. Johnson of Berkeley were co-authors of the $4,000,000 appropriation bill. RED CROSS DRIVE Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen ‘who heads the Red Cross drive reported yesterday that approximately $500 has ‘been subscribed thus far. Two donations of $100 each were made ‘this week ‘by Mr. and Mrs. Fred F. Cassidy and Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Bennetts. : and industrial wastes be by. permit from the state ‘board of public health. The rapid population growth and expansion of industries have rendered many disposal systems obsolete and it is known that in some. cases permit terms are no longer being ;met and the health and safety code is being violated. During the war it Was impossible to correct this. situation but that crisis is now past. Use which local governments will make of the $90,400,000 appropriation made: by the special session of the legislature in the construction ,and emploment act may be affected by the board action. The act provides that the state department of public health declare as to the reasonable adequacy of sewage disposal before a city can secure funds for “other projects. The department will utilize its permit system which has been 'inoperation~—-ferover30 years> as~a means of determining adequacy of local provision for sewage disposal it was announced.
