. Time To Break A Bad Habit .
Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau, in announcing plans
for the new 12 billion dollar tax program, has referred to it as
“possibly the largest the world has ever known.”
The American. people have decided that this country
must have adequate defense, and they have also indicated a
willingness to pay for achieving this national security. Coupled with this, however, they have the right to expect really
rigid economy in the non-defense operations of government.
Actually, the situation at the present time can scarcely be said
to meet the public’s wishes in this respect. .
We will, during the coming fiscal year, spend at least . 5
billion dollars for military and naval purposes. Non-military
spending will be about as high as in years past, and will take
around 7 billion dollars. In other words, this non-defense
spending will consume about 60 per cent of the revenues that
the Treasury Department is now scratching its head to raise.
: Non-defense spending in recent years has been partly devoted to various purposes which were defined when first initiated as “emergency” in nature. Their proponents declared
that these spending measures were necessitated by the depression and its accompanying “‘bad times.”
All are agreed that times are far better at present, and it
would therefore seem to follow that some, at least, of these
“emergency” operations could stand a good shaving. With
. the mounting burden that defense is placing upon the taxpayer, neither his willingness nor his ability to pay should suffer
because of wasteful non-defense expenditures which fall in
the “habit’’rather than the ‘‘necessity’’ category.—Contributed. .

ELECTRIC COOLING
Is it HOT and DRY where you live and work?
\\
A fan is not much help giving comfort
when the air is hot and dry as dust.
Youstiruptheair, perspiration trickles
down the back and you just get hotter
and dryer. Let an Electric Evaporative
Cooler blow a cool, refreshing breeze
through the rooms of your home this
summer.The Evaporative Cooler is low
in first cost and inexpensive in operation. An Evaporative Cooler supplies
; . cool moist air as if blown through a
Electric Evaporative Cooler waterfall just outside the window.
Is it HOT and STICKY with heat and humidity
where you live and work? jn, many
pores of California it is the heat plus
umidity that makes summertime a
season of misery. Steamy heat must be
changed to cool, dry air. A fan cannot
do this. Only real Air Conditioning by
means of the efficient Electric Room
Cooler can do this. Inside is a freezing
system with fans that draw in hot,
humid air, then dry and chill this air
and circulate it through a room.
, There is an electrical dealer near you who
will give the facts about electric cooling.

in the government of their cities,
support its charities, lead lawabiding lives, rear families of children that grow into useful citizens
and: often . distinguished leaders,
at intervals there come those evanto all men, whose sole purpose is
to disrupt our mining imdustry,
seize the hard won substance of
the workers, and to line their own
pockets with ill-gotten pelf.
"
We believe that now as neyer
before the Mine Workers Protective League should live up to its
name. It should expose all hardy
rascals that mislead and _ betray
those who foolishly believe that
conscienceless scamps can get them
something for nothing, or even
bring them the millenium. The
League should not only appeal to
all miners in this district, by con. trasting their own beneficient organization, with its aid to bereaved miners‘ familis, its assistanec
to members who are hurt, and
benefits in time of stress, with the
fact that never in the memory of
man has a_ professional labor
speeler kept any of his promises.
The miners who pay their cash into any national organization never. receive a penny of it back. They
aresubject to assessments. to carry on communistic labor wars in
the great industries of the East,
they are bled so white by labor
parasites in the national organizations that even if they should receive a higher wage through the
strong arm aid of goon squads,
they lose it all and’ more beside
through the assessment route.

CAMPTONVILLE, May 5. — The
community was shocked Thursday
morning upon learning of the death
of ElmerStark Robinson Hall,
which took place Wednesday at the
; St. Luke Hospital at San Francisco
. following an illness of only a few
‘days which no one knew about.
Deceased was born at Elmira, Sacramento County, on May 29, 1880,
spent his childhood there and came
to this section when a young man,
being first employed at the old P. G.
& E. Mill back in 1898. Later he
left that location and came to town
and followed stage drving for a time
and in this capacity, with his congenial nature, he cultivated a host
of friends-all up and down the traveled road. He was a figure characistic of the pioneer days. In 1908 a
team which he was driving ran away
and the stage crashed, injuring a leg
so that it had to be amputated. Recovering, he returned to the P. G. &
E. mill where he served the company
as watchman until only a few years
ago. He was transferred to Colfax
where he spent a couple of years and
then moved to San Francisco where
he served as watchman in one of the
companies warehouses up to the
time of his death.
