tee ee 2 “octopus, + this celebration a sulccess, Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. Being. air-minded these days does not mean of course, an air filled cranium. We make the distinction here because it does seem sometimes as if air is all there is on the minds of a great many people who guide the bhip of state, ‘or are guest passengers upon it. A long time ago we began with Cassandra-like cries in this column to:call attention to the Wooden Horse that the Greeks under ‘Roosevelt were dragging throug! the gates into this Republic. But few believed that the Wooden Horse could conceal so many evil things as have since been revealed.Some of the things which came out of the Wooden Horse’s great belly were the NRA, the “managed economy’’, a relief system that has cost 17-billion dollars and has gotten exactly nowhere, another relief spree, just started, which will, not only get us nowhere but will saddle an enormous debt on at least three generations of Americans, and perthaps the two most vicious enemies of all, subsidized agrioulture and subsidized idleness for millions of ‘workers. The NRA, if it could have passed . the scrutiny of the U. S. Supreme Court, would ‘have fastened monopoly upon all the people for a very long period. The industry of the country would have been divided in varigus figurative regions and in each of the regions ‘would have dwelt a giant with innumerable tenacles to drain the life blood of the Ameritan people, or a fascist state if you like would Ihave been created, with a hydrahead. The managed ecanomy idea has resulted in the worst confusion that ever confronted business. anywhere in the world, unless China at the . present moment could present more confounding conditions of trade and business. Agriculture is engaged in deadly battle, every farmer with his neighbor, or at least, farmers of one county or state, at war ‘with those of another ‘county or state, or section, against sections, of the tountry: This summer will add many a ‘sorry chapter ito the story « “Of: muddled agriculture. * The internecine strife of labor o* course commands. the headlines because it is here that real bloodshed and killings avcur,Arrayed . on one side are the NLRB, -the CIO. and communist element ‘ofthe nation, and on the other, the AF. of L and the substantial lindustrial and ‘biutsiness elements of the country. Some ‘g00d may flow eventually from this neation-wide struggle of contending labor forces, but at the moment it is difficult to take a Pollyanna view of the matter. A people of 125° millions suffers because eight millioms. more or less, have been divided into two eontending forces that riot and trample on the rights of a vast majoriity. Under the plea of relieving the starving, relief iis extended to all sorts and conditions of men, who can and do strike, whenever the spirit moves them, or a demagogue invites them, and who'are sure that a benevolent administration in Washington will see that they are fed in idleness. Idleness today is substantially subsidized. Our fathers regarded idlemess as a cardinal sin. The New Deal has promoted volunteer idleness to the status of virtue, rewarding it with a free subsistence. A Getting back to airmail and the air mindedness of a great nation. We believe Postmaster General James Aloysius Farley thas done a splendid thing in ftnaugurating a week -.@et apart flor celebrating the twentieth birthday of the mail ‘service. ‘We have done our part in making and ithe prediction made that ‘within five years 90 per cent of first class mail tm this country will be carried in planes, we believe will be proved a fact. Mr. Farley’s promotion of this oelebration is probably his most conspicious service, to all the people, that he has rendered in the five years he thas administered the postoffice department, In our humble opinion, however, this celebration will not dim, in the minds of millions, the memory that it was due to Mr. Farley’s monumental meddling and blundering that 40 young army pilots lost ‘their lives while trying to fly United.

WORK TOSTART ON YUBA DAM By KATHERINE BRAITHWAITE The forty seventh meeting of the California Hydraulic ‘Miners’ Association ‘was held last Saturday afternoon in the Bret Harte Inn at Grass Valley with president George Hallock presiding. This last ‘session of the -hydraulic Miners and their many spmyathizers marks the third milesione of the CHMA toward its goal ‘of resuming placer mining and the ultimate rethabiilitation of the ‘practically dead mining communities. 'In the ‘three short years which ‘this association has been functioning it has accompished many worthwhile programs but the most important projects fulfilled ‘has been the government . aid of building debris restraining dams on the rivers that drain major watersheds. Twio weeks ago aicctual construction work was started on the dam on ‘the south fork of the American} river. Engineers have established their ‘offices tin-Auburn and are now overseeing the ttitantic job of placing the heayy machinery on the site of the dam, By the \first of August work will have begun\on the huge dam on the Upper Narrows ‘of the Yuba river and that work should be completed before 1940. Wish those two dams now gliding} smoothly along on their own power the CHIMA is concentrating all its strength on the proposed dam om the Bear river. George Haffey of Colfax reported Saturday that six millien yards of gravel have been. assured by the potential placer miners of that district toward the sixty million yards needed to receive a govern-~ tion of that project. ,» At the meeting Saturday Claude Clark, general nianager of ihe meni, Sership. campaign, Teported that the SHMA now has 930 paid up mem-. bers.

Tn FIVE ALLEGED RIOTERSTO FACE TRIAL TUESDAY The trial of Peter Zdrich, James Vasion, Roy Staton, Henry Yuen and C. E.

The pickets attempted to block te road into the Murchie property and were disbursed by the elubs of Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen and deputies, and by the tear gas bombs in the hands of local peace officers and the ‘state thighway patrol. The pickets had felled a tree across the road in their attempt to stop the miners’ cars. The miners took nio part in the clash but were required to stay in their cars while the sheriff cleared the road. Several deputies and perhaps a dozen pickets were injured. (Grant Spear was arrested at the same time but was not given a preHiminary hearing until later. The date for his trial is still to be set. Attempts of George Anderson, @ounsel of the defense, first to obtain a reduction in bail, next to challenge Judge Tuttle peremptorily under a new statute recently declared unconstitutional, third, to. disqualify Judge Tuttle, failed.
