thinks first, always, in terms of political effects. His is essentially the
‘paternal approach. He “believes he
knows what is best for the common
man. His philosophy does not encompass the Lincolnian ideal of democracy that everybody knows more
than anybody.
Few men in public.life have come
a@g near as Roosevelt--to expressing
and dramatizing the mood and will
of the people—yet few have appeared to hold thé people in such little
trust. He has great masculine vitality—yet is vain, capricious, self-@entered and jealous. He is capable

are punitive and he has not hesitated to.use the high power of his position for the purge. You have to be

As the war years came in, Mr.
Roosevelt sensed the trend. A great

forest seervice, U. S. fish and wildlife service in the establishment of a

‘people of mental attainments suitable for the’ guidance of our children,’’ the governor expressed his
belief. that teachers are now paid
sub-standard salaries “insufficient
to ‘continue to attract the kind of
teachers we need.” :
@ Brachrodt, a deader in the California Council of Education which
initiated the ballot measure, announced that the governor's message tops a long list of strong endorsements for Proposition 9. “Every
statewide organization that understands the broad problems of education and the vital need to maintain
it on a high plane for the benefit of
our children, is backing the school
proposal,’’ he declared. ‘Every major women’s club in the state has endorsed it, as has every branch of
organized labor, the Democratic
party platform, Republican central
clubs, American Legion, State Department of Education and countless
other informed and forward looking
organizations. The only groups so
far opposing the issue are those
which put their personal pocketbook
ahead of the welfare of the children
of California.”’
The governor’s telegram read:
“Replying to your inquiry on be-'
half of the ‘elementary teachers of
California, I believe the welfare of
our country requires that public education remain a state and local function of government. This will remain
the fact only if public education is
kept on a high plane. It cannot” be
‘kept on a high plane unless it attracts to the teaching ‘profession
people of mental attainments suitable for the guidance of our people.
The salaries now paid to the teaching profession are sub-standard and
are not sufficient to continue to .attract and hold the kind of new teachers we will need. Beelieving that the
increased appropriations for the
schools provided for in Constitutional Amendment No. 9 on the November 7 ballot will provide adequate
salariés for our teachers and insure
the benefit of our children I favor
passage of No. 9.” Warl. Warren,
Governor of the State of California.
RIGHT TO WORK

Deliberate misetatement about
Proposition 12, the Right to Work
amendment on the November ballot,

citizens conducting ‘the campaign for
the passage of the measure.
“Labor unions*are resorting to the
wildest assertions as to what will
happen when Proposition is successful.’”’ said Kimball. “They are apparently unwilling to face the simThe fact that the initiative petitions

That the voters may determine for
themselves} the untruthful apsert{ions made by the opposition. Kimba!l
urges that they read carefully the

union and to pay dues to the union
