All who are eligible to vote and fail to do so, he declared, will find their names printed in a post-election list of delinquent voters. If that editor's plan steps up the vote in Carmel, it should be copied universally. The slacker at the polls is, in simple logic, tarred with the same brush as_ the slacker who refuses to help defend his country against armed invasion. : And in these days, when radicals and irresponsible vis-jonaries take advantage of an economic depression to rouse of unsound or malicious proposals, the duty of the responsible . citizen to use his ballot wisely and on every voting occasion . is a patriotic duty of the highest order. The voter swayed by . emotional harangues or specious arguments must be counter. balanced by the man or woman of sense and intellectual in-' tegrity. if our democracy is to work for the best interests of . the American people. The current stand of the binertican ble-. in the Legislature, against destructive’ tax demands to satisfy . bureaucratic extravagance, and its refusal to countenance con-. tinue Communist domination and chiseling in State relief ad-' ministration, attest the conscientious action of men and wom-, and as, Democrats or Republicans second. They demanded tax econ-' omy and a relief cleanup—and elected the men, irrespective of party, who now constitute that economy bloc. In the long. run, the people get what the voters demand; and only by ex-. ercise of sound citizenship at the polls may State and nation . Codtnn to padad these tenes 0 be protected from outer dangers and the follies of demagoguemisled: groups within.Publicity for ballot slackers seems. censure déserved. Property owners in tax arrears are given publicity, although in many cases they are innocent of laxity and simply unable to pay—whereas the delinquent voter has no excuse whatever for dodging his responsibiltiy of citizenship. STRANGE, ISN'T IT? No Pleasing Drys or Wets GREATFALLS, Mont. (U.P.)— When the City Council limited beer licenses to one for every 750 population and retail liquor licenses to one for every 1,500 persons, its action was received two ways. Supporters Said it would prevent the growth of police and social problems. Opponents insisted it created a monopoly. From Sacramento— Mr. and Mrs. E, Williams of Sacramento spent Sunday in Nevada City visiting several friends. ES Eubank, in the New York Sun. Washington . Snapshots By JAMES PRESTON . . A lot of Washington’s bureau bosses are on need!tes and pins these, days, fearful that Congress is about, to limit their powers over American citizens. Everybody knows that scores of new bureaus and agencies and commissions have been created in recent years to administer new laws. Everybody realizes, too, that it would be impracticable and impossible for stipulate in great detail how they should be enforced For example, Congress hardly could specify the kind of books which should be kept to record payroll taxes for Social Security. Therefore, some _ leeway has been allowed all these agencies in, HOLLYWOOD FILM SHOP By ALEXANDER KAHN United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (U.P.)—Hollywood is the land where babies can lick ‘shaving cream without ill effect, .a man ¢an eat his shoestrings and blackberries step 'up to become Caviar in the champagne circles. “Candy probably pinch-hits for more things in motion pictures than any other foodstuff,’ said Darrel Silvera, chief of the property department at RKO Radio studio. “It is fashioned into thin wine glasses that have to be eaternin comedy sequences It is used as ball fringe on curtains where a goat is supposed to éat the hangings. It is substitnted for glass windows that have to be broken by hand and licorice doubles for chewing tobacco and hoestrings. “Candy is fashioned into small , You're In The Army Now Should war come to the U. S. A., you'd be in it! How vastly military science has changed from times when only fighting men were called to the colors, is revealed by national mobilization plans of the Army general staff. Already millions of Americans, of all ages and occupations, are catalogued in War Department files. Only young, able-bodied men would be drafted directly into the Army, Navy and Air forces. But if you are a crab fisherman, just beyond the bloom of youth. _you might find yourself and your boat laying mines outsid__.... world. Showing her deep appreciation, she came back to sing, ___._.__in history—singing outdoors ‘“The Last-Rose-of Summer’ for California harbors. As an operator of trucks, you might suddenly be using your equipment to help prepare the runways for an air base. As a welder, you and your tools might, overnight, be called from peaceful construction to the building of bombers. And that mobilization of the butcher, the baker* the candlestick maker, along with the soldier, would come with lightning swiftness, according to general staff plans worked out to the last detail. : The will to peace is yet the strongest force against war. But if America ever again should be forced into conflict, the supreme objective would be to defend this nation successfully; and if such sweeping mobilization of industry and labor would be essential to that end, it is well to have planned and ready. So, to-all intents and purposes, whoever you are and whatever you do—you’'re in the Army now! Tetrazzini There is something nostalgic for California in the passing of Luisa Tetrazzini, the lady of the golden voice, in faraway Milan, Italy. She loved California, with reason—for in California, at the old San Francisco Tivoli Theatre before the 1906 disaster, she first received the tumultous acclaim that elevated her to the operatic heights in America, and subsequently the on Christmas Eve, 1910, before the greatest musical audience 250,000 California music lovers. The deeper nostalgia, going ‘beyond music, is for such times, and such nights—with Cali,_ fornians coming hundreds of miles to hear an artist sing an old-fahioned song in an untroubled world of simplicity and peace. That was before the first World War, before nations gave themselves over to international slaughter, to wholesale hate and blood and destruction—when the singing of a fine artist, rather than the outcome of battle, was a great event. California is still at peace; but the skies here, as verywhere, are troubled; there is apprehension. The death of Tetrazzini the issuance of rules and regulations;rugs, soap, beer mugs and dinner telling those affected by the laws, plates if necessary. Candles often are what they must do to comply with! made from candy when a comedy sit' them. : . But with the type.of people who lare running some of these bureaus, there naturally has been’ bad administration mixed with the good.-In , 1937, for instance, a special commis. 'sion appointed by the President 'found that there were 134 such ag/encies, constantly increasing in number. The commission added in its reyort to the President: “They (these bureaus, agencies, etc.) constitute a ‘headless’ fourth . branch of the government, a hhaphazard deposit of irresponsible agencies and uncoordinated powers, The Congress has found no’ effective way—of supervsiing them, they cannot be controlled. by .the President, and they are unanswerable to the courts only in respect to the legality of their activities.”’ To set up some control over these agencies the so-called Walter-Logan Bill was written. It is very simpie. It would do nothing ,but establish uniform methods by which these government aigencies £0 about the business of writing rules and regulations and enforcing laws. It would require bureaucrats to hold hearings on proposed regulatory orders. It .would establish simple mechanisms’ by which any citizen who felt he had been harmed by a regulation could appeal for a change of redress. It would permit the Supreme Court to direct that all agencies who try citizens for alleged law violations follow accepted court procedure. In submitting this bill to the Senate, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously agreed that ‘time has come when some of these regulators consider themselves above the statutes and when they show contemptuous disregard for both the Congress and the courts.” 5 The House Judiciary Committee, with only one member dissenting, also approved the bill. And the dissenter said that something was necessary to control these various commissions or ‘‘we shall drift into some’ sort of executive domination if not totalitarianism, with a complete subordination of the legislative and judicial branches of the government to the. executive branch.”’ samen mcumeees $ It is perhaps only natural that the bureau ‘bosses should object to anything which would limit their powuation demands that a player eat ' them, “Whites of eggs take the place of shampoo cream or lotions because there is no danger to the player’s eyes. We used 100 eggs in the shampoo for Ginger Rogers in ‘Shall We Dance.’ Whites of eggs also are used in bubble baths, such as that Joan Crawford took in “The Women.’ The bubbles last longer and photograph better than would real soap. Also, they do not mar a player’s make-up. “In ‘Vigil in the Night,’ candy cigarettes were used in the scene in which the nurse sWallows her fag. “Among-other substitutes used by the movies are catsup for blood; corn Syrup for glue; flour cement and mortar; Worchestershire sauce for ink; honey and chocolate syrup for paint and small onions for marbles which are to be eaten. “Tea is substituted for many kinds of drinks from hard liquor to light wines. The required shade is obtained by diluting the tea with water.’ Silvera says the funniest scene he ers and authority. At any rate, some of them openly and some secretly are lobbying against the bill, despite a law which forbids any government agent or agency to attempt to influence the course of legislation. These lobbyists hope to bottle the bill up in the senate. They must succeed in doing so, unless there is substantial demand for the bill from the ‘‘grass roots’’—constituents back
home. Examples of bureaus and commissions and. “emergency bodies’’ which would have to walk with a softer step if the Walker-Logan Bill became law are manifold. But the single ggvernment body which exemplifies best the type of attitude that the proposed legislation is seeking to correct is the Wagner Labor Relations Board. Those acquainted with the Washington scene are well aware of this fact and so they knew what was meant when an observer informally remarked: “Tf you want to see the most complete presentation of reasons why the Walter-Logan Bill should be passed, you can find it simply by reading the records of ‘the ‘Wagner Board’s decisions.” °e6 107 mm street Nevada County Photo Center PHONE 67 Portraits, Commercial Photography, A . 8 Hour Kodak Finishing, Old Copies, Provceraprer Enlarging and Framing, = Kodaks and Photo Supplies, Grass Valley Movie Cameras and Films reign of Caesar. 4 not only has taken from Salifornia a beloved friend, but has given us wistful reminder of an era of tranquility, of unvexed love of simple pleasure, that now seems as long gone as the can recall was one in which a player apparently ate his rubber’ bath sponge.
