Associated Farmers vs. Ku Klux . “It has come to the attention of this organization through newspaper stories that tle Ku Klux Klan is becoming increasingly active throughovt the state of California. Ordinarily, such information would be of no interest or concern to the Associated Farmers. However, all newspaper reports noted thus far have indicated thet the new purpose of the Klan is to drive the communists from the state. In one particular instance, a dispatch in the newspaper, reportedly from the San Joaquin Valley, stated that the Klan planned to halt the activities of an agricultural workers’ union, which is known to be dominated by communists. For six long years the farmers of California have fought the infiltration and inroads of rats and reds attempting to sabotage and gain control of the bread basket of America— California farming communities. With destruction and sabotage as their goal, we have been faced at many times with alarming situations. Prior to the inception and organization of the Associated Farmers, there were riots and killings in agricultural labor disputes) incited, led and staged by subversive groups intent on misleading decent American labor into situations which would create\a class hatred and lay the groundwork for a revolution. No organization in the state has been as militant in battline the communists. But. we have done it as the farmers of California, and every one has known who we are. And we have done it through legal and orderly means. Hence, this warning to the people of California. For the sake of the cause to which we are pledged, he stamping out of the destructive subversive elements, we beg you to join the fight, but to use only methods tolerable to the democratic form of government. We have pledged ourselves and our membership to a strict and impartial enforcement of existing law by the duly and regularly constituted law enforcement agencies of our counties, state and nation. Remember that only by strict and impartial enforcement of the law can the rural areas of California hope to gather their harvests despite attempts at destruction. A secret organization, if moving at all.in any method illegal, could crucify the effect of law enforcement agencies on which the farmers must depend during the coming harvest seasons and could nullify the years of conscientious work we have done.” : Dictatorship In Britian . The order came in Britain the other day which every citizen knew would surely come. Every person of every class, rich or poor, employer or worker, man or woman, was ofdered to.stand by for wartime orders. Every.resource.and_ all public and private property were placed at the full service and direction of the government. Absolute powers to draft labor for any phase of the national defense were handed the minister of labor. And control over industry and commerce, with power to dictate produc_.tion, close down factories or even destroy property, if necessary was voted by Parliament and approved by King George. With sons, brothers and husbands already on the firing line, British subjects at home are willing to sacrifice every private resource for the preservation of the nation—just as every American would accept the dictatorship of wartime conscription to save America from an immediate foe, even though it left Democracy hanging, for a time, by a very thin thread. It is a picture which must shock Americans and arouse their deepest sympathy. And it‘ should inspire thoughtful concern, as-well. a — In politics thereis a saying: ‘Granting power is easy; abolishing it, almost impossible.”’ In the governmental confusion following every major war, power-mad forces invariably fight against relinquishment of powers granted in an earlier emergency. — Only the war's end will determine whether Britain’s democratic processes will stand or fall; only time will tell the final pattern of the diagram being drawn there today. But thoughtful study of that diagram by rank and file citizens here may help America steer her course clear of the maelstrom now engulfing the war-strangled democracies across the water.— Contributed. . ee SSS Se goes NEVADA CITY GIRL IN GOLD RUSH CONTEST AUBUHN, May 30. — Miss Vella Flindt a very popular girl of Nevada €ity has been nominated as a candidate for queen to reign over the annual Gold Show and Placer District fair, which is held here on the 2829-30 of June.

For that matter, the governor had no intention of signing the bill but he was forced to in view of the fact that a five-day interval might have elapsed between The February appropriation ended June 1. The new bill would become effective on the 5th without his signature, There was no other alternative than to sign the bill, with it clearly understood he disliked it thoroughly. There was varying reaction to*the two important changes just made in the governor’s cabinet. For the naming of George Knox, to the vacant post of state banking superintendent, the governor received general praise. Knox has been identified with the Hibernia bank 41 years. He succeeds the late E. W. Wilson. In the ousting of Dr. Walter Dickie as state health superintendent however, the governor steepped on some toes. Dr. Bertram Brown, the Hollywood physician given the post, was credited by Olson with having an outstanding record and suffic. ient qualifications to meet the rigid standards of Surgeon General ,.Thomas A. Parran. Dr. Dickie has many friends, however, and there may be recriminations. He held his post for 16 years under five governors and many of his supporters hoped he would hold it under Olson. in It’s several weeks away, but Lieutenant Governor Ellis E. Patterson is going to be governor of California. When Governor Olson heads the democratic delegation to Chicago in July, Patterson will be in charge of the state government. It isn’t likely he will take advantage of his position and do anything that would be embarrdssing to Olson. But Pattersone is a good campaigner and will get some publicity out of the short reigh in behalf of his candidacy for United States senator. For that matter, Patterson could have been going along with the democratiec delegation if he hadn’t bolted the Olson ticket. And he feels that the publicity did him more good than the defeat did harm. Cycles run in politics like everything else. With the war crashing around the ears of the world, Hollywood movie. producers. are working overtime to get war pictures ‘on the sereen. And during the_ legislature somebody bobbed up with a new resolution on war almost with every edition of the papers. The emphasis on war was one reason why about a hundred and half resolutions went over the desk in two short weeks. Probably no legislature got as little news attention as the special session just ended, because of this very war. The newspapers had little space for rambling resolutions out of Sacramento and news-wise correspondents saved them the trouble by holding the lengthy arguments to a line or two. Many newspapermen suspect that the urge to make a speech, for the: home town paper motivates most of the lawmakers. Denied this attention by the war, there was more emphasis on business and the session ended in two weeks instead of the scheduled three or four.
