Vol. 15, No. 91. } The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gale Cuter THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1941. Bs ) Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. i —__/y No one nowadays in Washington even talks of national debt payment. Such talk is about as popular as a polecat in the chicken corral. Why .worry, say the oldsters, we wont have to pay it. The youngsters, most of whom do not visualize the national effort necessary to pay, say 100 billions, \ which may be the debt figure when this “‘emergency’’ ends, do not worry either. But the national debt still continues to haunt the rational mind everywhere.in the United States. How can we pay it? When shall we make a beginning? For we can’t say that we are making a beginning so long as national expenditures far outstrip governmental income. Though of course the tremendous tax bills passed or contemplated do reduce the ultimate colossal debt. Anybody forty years old today, should remember what happened in postwar days in Germany. The government deliberately permitted and encouraged inflation so that those who had lent the government a gold mark worth 25e during war preparations and operations was in due time paid back in marks worth one cent or less. dn other words the busy thrifty people, who had carefully saved their money, invested it in war bonds, were wiped out financially. It was this blow to human integrity, to human thrift and self sacrifice that left the German people ready to follow such a curious, murderous visionary as its present leader. It-is perhaps crying in the wilderness to point out that our present inflationary trend is leading this country down the same road. Leon Henderson, Price Controller, without power to control anything, testifying before a congressional committee, was asked if he didn’t think a little inflation would be a good thing. He replied by asking a question: Is a little pregnancy a good thing? The committee was shocked, and according to Time, had the answer stricken from the record. The truth is of course that a little inflation grows to be a bigger inflation and finally a national financial debalcle is born. In such a debacle, not only are those who have lent money to the government, money worth 100 cents on the dollar, finally paid off in printing press money, worth less than paper napkins, but every investor,‘ savings depositor, life insurance policy holder, home or ranch owner, any one with a title to any property whatever, is wiped out financially along with the government’s creditors, The German government after the war was admittedly weak, and especially weak on the moral side. Expediency ruled its ‘domestic policies. Instead of Wilson’s fourteen points, the Germans got 4 rough deal at Versailles, and national morale was extremely low. But when the national debts were paid with worthless paper, quite naturally the thrifty people who had ‘built up a great national reservoir of wealth, normally used for promoting world trade, building better homes, better roads, exploiting the resources of other countries, and for doing the thousand and one things, which all enlightened countries do when civilization is on the march, threw up their hands in despair, It is for reasons such as this that we believe in taxes, taxes that hit every single voter in the U. S. A. Taxes that ‘burn and sear the human consciousness that teach even the subnormal brain that “what goes up has to come down, on your head or on the ground,” but mostly on your head.’ While Morganthau talks of bigger and etter taxes congress still dawdles, still hesitates. The president talks of taxes, too, but no congressman yet believes he means it. It wont be the New Deal that attempts to pay back the borrowed bilions. And it wont be the millions of government pensioners, It will be a new generation of Americans, scourged and chastened, and awakened to a sober realization that in / Funeral Rites Held Today For Late Mary A. Jefford Mrs. Mary A. Jefford, 67, widow of William R. Jefford, who formerly operated an undertaking parlor in Nevada City and one in Grass Valley, died Armistice Day in Grass Valk ley at her home.

Rafferty, law enforcement officer of the Tahoe Na-, tional Forest, finds himself in an embarrassing position. Rafferty has often spoke at schools and various other places on the preservation of “our wild life in the forests.” In fact, it can probably be said that Rafferty was one of those who believe that by careful.driving the killing of a deer by an automobile is practically impossible. The “impossible” happened, however, While traveling down . the Tahoe-Ukiah Highway Rafferty’s forest service car struck a buck, The law enforcement officer was forced to kill the deer with an ax because the accident broke two legs of the’ animal, Rafferty now has nothing to say on the subject of whether such accidents can be avoided or not.

One Dog Killed William Brady of the Lake Vera district set out Monday night on a coon hunt in the Cement. Hill district. His dogs, instead of picking up the scent of a coon, smelled a bear and soon had the bear and her cub treed. Brady wasn’t prepared for such big game and beside it is against the law to kill bear after sunset. The mother bear dropped out of the tree once to cuff one of Brady’s dogs on the back, killing the animal. The bear is believed to have been the same one spotted in the Cement Hill district by Leslie Orzalli. Farmers of that area. are fearful the bear may make a raid on their sheep and other defenseless stock. \ YJ ROTARY HEARS TALK ON RISE OF BILL OF RIGHTS Walter Carlson, past president of the Rotary club, and county superintendent of schools, at the Rotary luncheon today, gave an interesting . address on the origin and rise of the bill of rights, as embodied in the Constitution of the United States. He declared .that.the-strength of -a -nation lies not in rich soil great natural endowments, or in overwhelming military power, but in its steadfast allegiance to its ideals. Beginning as far back as the rebellion of the Jewish slaves ‘in Egypt, 600,000 of them, who rose as one man, and, under the leadership 40 years seeking a land of peace and freedom, humanity has constantly striven to the four freedoms, defined by President Roosevelt. Moses presented to his. people tablets of stone on which were graven some of the political freedom that men, through the intervening ages, have defended and, if need be, died for. In Greece, during the Golden Age, democracy, which, in its purest essence seeks the actual brotherhood of man, had its first trial. In the Republican era of Rome, that ended shortly before the birth of Christ, the. ideals of justice and personal freedom were advanced. After these were all lost in darkness of the Middle Ages, in the Renaissance in Italy in the fifteenth century, men began again to recover their vanished freedoms. This followed by the Reformation in Germany, establishing religious freedom, and upheavals of the English people rebelling against thé exactions of their Norman masters, carried the fight to point where a parliament ruled instead of kings. The battle was continued in America, when this country severed its relations with England, because of the injustice of taxes levied without representation. So today, as the president points out, the battle for freedom is a continuing battle, in which those who win freedom must still fight to hold it. —Join The Red Cross— _.

One Dog Killed William Brady of the Lake Vera district set out Monday night on a coon hunt in the Cement. Hill district. His dogs, instead of picking up the scent of a coon, smelled a bear and soon had the bear and her cub treed. Brady wasn’t prepared for such big game and beside it is against the law to kill bear after sunset. The mother bear dropped out of the tree once to cuff one of Brady’s dogs on the back, killing the animal.

Farmers of that area. are fearful the bear may make a raid on their sheep and other defenseless stock. \ YJ ROTARY HEARS TALK ON RISE OF BILL OF RIGHTS Walter Carlson, past president of the Rotary club, and county superintendent of schools, at the Rotary luncheon today, gave an interesting . address on the origin and rise of the bill of rights, as embodied in the Constitution of the United States. He declared .that.the-strength of -a -nation lies not in rich soil great natural endowments, or in overwhelming military power, but in its steadfast allegiance to its ideals. Beginning as far back as the rebellion of the Jewish slaves ‘in Egypt, 600,000 of them, who rose as one man, and, under the leadership 40 years seeking a land of peace and freedom, humanity has constantly striven to the four freedoms, defined by President Roosevelt. Moses presented to his. people tablets of stone on which were graven some of the political freedom that men, through the intervening ages, have defended and, if need be, died for. In Greece, during the Golden Age, democracy, which, in its purest essence seeks the actual brotherhood of man, had its first trial. In the Republican era of Rome, that ended shortly before the birth of Christ, the. ideals of justice and personal freedom were advanced. After these were all lost in darkness of the Middle Ages, in the Renaissance in Italy in the fifteenth century, men began again to recover their vanished freedoms. This followed by the Reformation in Germany, establishing religious freedom, and upheavals of the English people rebelling against thé exactions of their Norman masters, carried the fight to point where a parliament ruled instead of kings. The battle was continued in America, when this country severed its relations with England, because of the injustice of taxes levied without representation. So today, as the president points out, the battle for freedom is a continuing battle, in which those who win freedom must still fight to hold it. —Join The Red Cross— _.
