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. . } 107 nee streee Nevada County Photo Center yt PHONE 67 A Deos CEDaANre* Grass.

" 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 Citizen Passes ‘ t
Li 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.
