The Liberty of the Press envied —Alexander -Hamilee To those of a reflective temperament, years bring a certain flavor. It is the seasoning, if you like, that experience imparts to life. We speak of a “salty” humor; sometimes of a ‘“‘salty’’ character. Old Mr. So-and-So has a “peppery”’ temper. Others of advaniced years display an ingredient of ‘‘ginger;” sometimes it is “mustard.” And occasionally, sad to remark, it is *‘vinegar.”’ But there are other flavorings that have fio equivalent from the cook book, at least none ‘that are adequate. ‘But on the whole only those who grow old gracefully, governed by the inner conviction “that the best is yet to .fbe’’ have truly succeeded as human beings. “The best’? may be of this world or the next, but without hope, without a zest for living, life turns sour, or dries up, like a leaf, to cling on beyond its time to the autumn branch. The years bring a perspective too, to discerftiing and discriminating minds. At the moment this country and the world, for that matter, are greatly concerned over the underpriviliged.: This “underprivileged’’ is:.a polite word gen‘erally fer those whose mental or . physical endowments are below the or tause of some defect in character or in physical attributes. They are ‘poetically described as the ‘“‘forwotten.’’ But the proportion of these so-called underprivileged, if historians may be believed, was far greater in feudal times than _it is now. In ancient Roman. days, the proportio# was far than it was in the eg feudalism. greater days of Actually about one ‘thirteenth of the present day population of the United States belongs in this group. Roughly this compares in inverse ration with feudal days, when possibly one thirteenth of the population, including the baronial families, their: immediate household of captains, managers, and a few skilled artisans, such as raised — armorers. and scrivenirs, their heads above the bare subsistence line. So even with ten million people, who must, be supported by the other.120.milion,. human existence today is on a much higher plane than five or six hundred years ago, when most of the population of England, for instance were human beings attached to the soil, or in time of war, served their masters as soldiers. In those days every one, able bodied, was required to earn their living by the sweat of his brow. There was an individual, the almoner, who dispensed charity in the name of the lord of the manor, and this rather sporadically and only to the wreckage of the cruel and hard system under which they lived. The crippled in war, or the work worn and aged were cared for after a fashion. Horses, cattle, or sheep ;fared better than these unfortunates. All but a small fraction of the population lived, in the main, only a little above the border of starvation. In fact famines were a common calamity, and, with uncontrolled epidemics, and intermittent war, was a large factor in keeping down population increases. No one dreamed of birth control because death efficiently achieved the same result. In the matter of relief, our ten million, are infinitely better off than the serfs of the middle ages, and in proportion to the entire population are only a very small fraction of the people. Thus moves civilization upwards and fonwards. Throughout the ages, however, one principle seems to have governed. That is, no one may eat who will not work. If it costs twice as much to build a World’s Fair in New York, by WPA labor, as it does under contract, it follows that the men employed are doing half the work that those in private employment do. There will come a time when this condition ‘will not be tolerated and we shall return again to the fundamental . principle. For, the so-called ‘‘underprivileged’’ who are supported without ‘working, or earning the money they are paid, in tend to become a very privileged class, demanding of other workers that 'they subsist. in idleness. To those who reflect upon the long lessons of history, this condition is transitory. It will pass. We shall climb to higher ground. “The best is yet to be.’”?

THREE KINGS MINE Ted Lemaire arrived in Nevada ‘City Wednesday from the Three Kings, formerly Irelan.mine, with the report of a good sized strike at the property. It is understood that 174 pounds of ‘‘jewelry” quartz was taken to the Nevada City bank and was valued at $70,000 per ton.—Mountain Messenges. Just Wonnber tn I] wonder if in Flanders Field Today the summer breezes blow, And if, among the grasses green Again the blood red poppies grow. Here as we wear the crimson flower And all our treasured memories keep, This be our prayer, that nevermore Shall war its wanton harvest reap. I wonder, in the light of present day events, if Memorial Day is coming to bear a deeper significance with every passing year. We cannot buy and wear our, Buddy Poppies now and perform the ceremonies of Memorial Day observance as we did in those years after the great World War, during which we truly believed Peace had won a final victory and that war would never again aflict mankind with its horrors and bestial rage and hate. We know now that ‘the great battle for human liberty and peace, cannot be decided upon a battle field; it cannot be} enforced by legislation; it must be fought and won’ in _ the hearts and minds of men and women; and these hearts and minds must be freed from the conleding chains of ignorance, superstition and intolerance. The solemn observances of Memorial Day with all the sacred memories they invoke, serve to teach us that with humble and understanding hearts, of/peace toward which I wonder if we shall not more firmly resolve we may confidently hope to win for ourselves and for future generations, the great boon “the whole world hasteneth.” to keep faith with those who sleep in Flanders Field—to so conduct ourselves that their dream of world wide peace may come true—to so think, speak and act, that they, our heroes shall not have died in vain. Surely we shall need to acquire great understanding and the will to work unceasingly, to win our battle for peace—an understanding born of a great desire and an ever present purpose. I think they watch us from some distant shore, Their faces grave with doubt, : ‘Have you kept faith with us?’’ they cry, I hear the faint, far echo of their shout. “You go on in the same old, ‘thoughtless way, From day to day— Unheeding, half forgetting. ‘Our work is done, the rest remains to you; Have you kept faith with us?’ Have you been true?” —A. NESRIAM CONNER. Mrs. Eva Flewellen, . By ED. C. UREN The squandering orgy of the lunatics in Washington who are bankrupting th2 nation with the balmy idea of spending this country into prosperity has not only: lowered the morale of the people to an alarming extent, but it has naturally created the impression among a.lot of us that money literally grows on ‘bushes. And so, schemes ‘more numerous than the legs on a centipede blossom out, promising abounding incomes that will permit ‘the favored ones luxurious existen’ce without soiling the hands or drawing a bead of soll spiration. Some of them are downright frauds gotten out by crooks who feather their financial nests by means of the sale of books, working the old chain letter gag, or by donations to help along the cause. But, one and all, whether they fill a thick volume of technocratic pifffle __jor are. outlined in a simple pamphlet, they seek to create something out of nothing and are as unworkable as perpetual motion. THE BIBLE IS RIGHT The biblical saying that man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow is as true now as ever. The very safety and future existence of the nation demands it and even the Fascist countries, with which we are not in. agreement, certainly put it all over us when it comes to accomplishing things, no matter what our. opinion of them may be. __ If some political bally-hooer gets a pension bill of $35 a month through his state legislature, a more ambitious one, in order to get his snout in the public trough, will promise $45 and the ‘hosnanas of acclaim from the pensionérs is loud and prolonged. ; _These pensioners are well organized too. They work with perfect unity; there is no disention, for they have only one object.in view. They collect, in the aggregate, large sums of money from their enthusiastic followers with which to carry on their propaganda; and in the end they usually succeed, no matter how absurd their set up is or how harmful and disastrous it may become, because the taxpayer, who foots ail the bills, and wails about it to his friends, is too uninteresited to either organize or try to protect himself against the plunderers. FIGHT THE HUMAN SPONGES But the time is at hand right now for the taxpayer to wake up, if he is ever going to, to the dangers con‘fronting him on every side. He must organize against these human -sponges and the political sharks that fatten off their takings. If a petition of a million signatures goes on for some damphool legislation, it should be offset by two million from the taxpayers. If the taxpayers will organize as thoroughly as these pressure groups —and it is only a matter of a little effort to do so—it will be in their power to control absolutely, not only the caliber of their officials but to stop at once and for good and all such a, fiasco as is now threatened by the Ham & Begg contingent. Governor Olson has already left a smear on every decent citizen’s judgment in the pardoning of Mooney, If -ha puts the state to the half million dollar expense necessary to again vote on this looney bill, which was overwhelmingly defeated as recently as last Novemiber, he should be re‘called; and’ there is but little doubt that he will be, SHINING GILDED BRICK Thirty Dollars W®very Thursday, unlike some other money grabbing measures, which are a confusion of figures and statemen'ts that bewilder the ordinary layman, is not hard to understand. As a painless money getter it is entitled to the gilded sponge. for there is no trace of modesty in what it asks for. The. fertile brains that concocted it didn’t overlook anything that . migift, by any possible chance, interrupt their plundering once the measure became law, except the fact that it was unworkable and impossible. point of infection. It, in particular, has been the mecca for all the dustbowlers, migrants, ne ’er-do-wells and tin can tourists who have pit tin Lizzies and the this sand ot cote 0] ‘Ham and Eggs Thurs; , . Only Beans Frid “ Los Angeles seems to be the focal there to squat and await the , years’ residence, which fs all that is. petual pension of $120 a month; more money monthly than any of them ever earned in their lives. “HOT MONEY” In order to refresh our memory let us again go over some of the provisions of this most ‘magnanimous bill: Within 5 days after its passage the governor must appoint either one Roy Owens or one Will Kindig, who will have full charge of ‘the administration of the measure, This is a little matter that is all cut and dried —all prearranged. A “Hot money” is an appropriate name given to this proposed scrip because, like a hot coal, the quicker ‘one gets rid of it the better one is — off. The chief worry after receiving ‘it will be to pass it along to the other fellow so that, come a Thursday, ‘he, and not you, will have to put the two cent tax on it, which, of course, has to be bought with real money. 102 per cent in a year’s time, and why pay that when you can go to the bank and get real money for 5 or 6 per cent. First, the state is to issue 20 million dollars in bonds for initial capital; two hundred thousand of which will be used to advertise and to acquaint the people through radio of the advantages of the new money. ELASTIC PAPER Do not-forget that the amount of scrip issued weekly to each individual is not limited: to $30, but may be increased, as the administrators decide, to any amount necesary to meet any increase in the. proces of commodities over those prevailing in 1937.The present sales ‘tax will prevail as is for those using real money, but those holding warrants will not have to pay it. This discrimination would not, of course, stand a court test, but it shows how complete has been the set up favoring this unholy scheme. A gross state income tax of 3 per cent. is levied, but again the holder of scrip is blessed, for warrants shalt not ‘be considered as income, nor can the Ham & Egger’s bank deposits be taken by any sale, assignment or mortgage without his consent. SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS All homes assessed for less than $3000 will pay no taxes. As perhaps three'‘fourths of the homes in Nevada county are assessed for less than this amount, we shudder at the necessary raise in taxes to overcome this bene faction. : The act specifically ‘qualities inmates of penal institutions as entitled. to the dole. Imagine the jealousy that will ‘be created among the younger inmates of San Quentin and Folsom prisons and the side money the guards will make buying luxuries for the old birds, for they get their board and olothing free. There is no discrimination as to. citizenship and an alien will be handed his mazuma with the same open heartedmess as the best citizen. . Now, the next provision is a gem. It is boiler plate, double rivited foresight: ‘‘No injunction or other legal process shall ever issue to interfere with the, administration of this article’. In other words th : Ham & Egg stuffed shirts are to ha a free hand in the whole program of finance and no process of Jaw can interfere with them. As the act. also specifies that newly created Credit Clearing Bank shall be the deposit-_ ory for all county: and state funds—the: sole -depository—those* on ‘the the take will be able to dip their money hooks into the. pork barrel -without hondrance. “What. a sorgoem set up.

And so, schemes ‘more numerous than the legs on a centipede blossom out, promising abounding incomes that will permit ‘the favored ones luxurious existen’ce without soiling the hands or drawing a bead of soll spiration. Some of them are downright frauds gotten out by crooks who feather their financial nests by means of the sale of books, working the old chain letter gag, or by donations to help along the cause. But, one and all, whether they fill a thick volume of technocratic pifffle __jor are. outlined in a simple pamphlet, they seek to create something out of nothing and are as unworkable as perpetual motion. THE BIBLE IS RIGHT The biblical saying that man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow is as true now as ever. The very safety and future existence of the nation demands it and even the Fascist countries, with which we are not in. agreement, certainly put it all over us when it comes to accomplishing things, no matter what our. opinion of them may be. __ If some political bally-hooer gets a pension bill of $35 a month through his state legislature, a more ambitious one, in order to get his snout in the public trough, will promise $45 and the ‘hosnanas of acclaim from the pensionérs is loud and prolonged. ; _These pensioners are well organized too. They work with perfect unity; there is no disention, for they have only one object.in view. They collect, in the aggregate, large sums of money from their enthusiastic followers with which to carry on their propaganda; and in the end they usually succeed, no matter how absurd their set up is or how harmful and disastrous it may become, because the taxpayer, who foots ail the bills, and wails about it to his friends, is too uninteresited to either organize or try to protect himself against the plunderers. FIGHT THE HUMAN SPONGES But the time is at hand right now for the taxpayer to wake up, if he is ever going to, to the dangers con‘fronting him on every side. He must organize against these human -sponges and the political sharks that fatten off their takings. If a petition of a million signatures goes on for some damphool legislation, it should be offset by two million from the taxpayers. If the taxpayers will organize as thoroughly as these pressure groups —and it is only a matter of a little effort to do so—it will be in their power to control absolutely, not only the caliber of their officials but to stop at once and for good and all such a, fiasco as is now threatened by the Ham & Begg contingent. Governor Olson has already left a smear on every decent citizen’s judgment in the pardoning of Mooney, If -ha puts the state to the half million dollar expense necessary to again vote on this looney bill, which was overwhelmingly defeated as recently as last Novemiber, he should be re‘called; and’ there is but little doubt that he will be, SHINING GILDED BRICK Thirty Dollars W®very Thursday, unlike some other money grabbing measures, which are a confusion of figures and statemen'ts that bewilder the ordinary layman, is not hard to understand. As a painless money getter it is entitled to the gilded sponge. for there is no trace of modesty in what it asks for. The. fertile brains that concocted it didn’t overlook anything that . migift, by any possible chance, interrupt their plundering once the measure became law, except the fact that it was unworkable and impossible. point of infection. It, in particular, has been the mecca for all the dustbowlers, migrants, ne ’er-do-wells and tin can tourists who have pit tin Lizzies and the this sand ot cote 0] ‘Ham and Eggs Thurs; , . Only Beans Frid “ Los Angeles seems to be the focal there to squat and await the , years’ residence, which fs all that is. petual pension of $120 a month; more money monthly than any of them ever earned in their lives. “HOT MONEY” In order to refresh our memory let us again go over some of the provisions of this most ‘magnanimous bill: Within 5 days after its passage the governor must appoint either one Roy Owens or one Will Kindig, who will have full charge of ‘the administration of the measure, This is a little matter that is all cut and dried —all prearranged. A “Hot money” is an appropriate name given to this proposed scrip because, like a hot coal, the quicker ‘one gets rid of it the better one is — off. The chief worry after receiving ‘it will be to pass it along to the other fellow so that, come a Thursday, ‘he, and not you, will have to put the two cent tax on it, which, of course, has to be bought with real money. 102 per cent in a year’s time, and why pay that when you can go to the bank and get real money for 5 or 6 per cent. First, the state is to issue 20 million dollars in bonds for initial capital; two hundred thousand of which will be used to advertise and to acquaint the people through radio of the advantages of the new money. ELASTIC PAPER Do not-forget that the amount of scrip issued weekly to each individual is not limited: to $30, but may be increased, as the administrators decide, to any amount necesary to meet any increase in the. proces of commodities over those prevailing in 1937.The present sales ‘tax will prevail as is for those using real money, but those holding warrants will not have to pay it. This discrimination would not, of course, stand a court test, but it shows how complete has been the set up favoring this unholy scheme. A gross state income tax of 3 per cent. is levied, but again the holder of scrip is blessed, for warrants shalt not ‘be considered as income, nor can the Ham & Egger’s bank deposits be taken by any sale, assignment or mortgage without his consent. SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS All homes assessed for less than $3000 will pay no taxes. As perhaps three'‘fourths of the homes in Nevada county are assessed for less than this amount, we shudder at the necessary raise in taxes to overcome this bene faction. : The act specifically ‘qualities inmates of penal institutions as entitled. to the dole. Imagine the jealousy that will ‘be created among the younger inmates of San Quentin and Folsom prisons and the side money the guards will make buying luxuries for the old birds, for they get their board and olothing free. There is no discrimination as to. citizenship and an alien will be handed his mazuma with the same open heartedmess as the best citizen. . Now, the next provision is a gem. It is boiler plate, double rivited foresight: ‘‘No injunction or other legal process shall ever issue to interfere with the, administration of this article’. In other words th : Ham & Egg stuffed shirts are to ha a free hand in the whole program of finance and no process of Jaw can interfere with them. As the act. also specifies that newly created Credit Clearing Bank shall be the deposit-_ ory for all county: and state funds—the: sole -depository—those* on ‘the the take will be able to dip their money hooks into the. pork barrel -without hondrance. “What. a sorgoem set up. CRIPPLES CAN alae Then again: ‘No person receiving warrants shall be required to u part thereof for. the stpport of a re lative over 18 years of age.” : there happens to ‘be 4 ‘cripple or : ‘or necessary to get the promised per.
