Thinking
Out Loud
H. M. L.
Words have their vogue like styles
in millinery. Only a few months ago
“poondogling’ came _ into general
use. One rarely sees it in print now.
It signified either’ “slacking”. , or
“‘wasting’’ or a combination of both,
and was applied to relief measures
which accomplished little for the
money lavishly expended. Perhaps
*‘boondogling”’ is now obsolescent because Federal relief money is not so
plentiful and evidences of waste are
therefore not so many. The waste
that once attached to appointing to
lucrative jobs needy politicos and
parasitic brass hats, who, in the
language of the late Abe Ruef would
eat the paint of the White House uxé
less satiated with Federal pie, Has
moved into higher and more refined
spheres,
Something like $600,000,000 of
old age security pension money deposited in the Federal Treasury, has
lingered there very Wriefly. The
Treasurer has promptly dropped in
the sacred cash box a series of I. O.
U’s and taken the cash for current
and general government. expenses,
which are running something like
$400,000,000 higher than the budget estimate of last June. Any private corporation which ° undertook
financing of this kind would be condemned either for lunacy or: fraud.
Of course the Administration will try
to laugh this one off along with the
other wastes and cheats that has
marked its fiscal policy, on the gen1 theory that voters of the United
States are too dumb to understand
high finance,

Judge George L. Jones will be
Armistice Day speaker at the exercises which will be held next Thursday in Memorial Hall, Grass Valley.
The program in the hall will begin
at 11 o’clock in the. morning. Both
Nevada City and’ Grass Valley will
join in observance of-the day.
. The Nevada City and Grass Valley
high school bands will provide the
music both for the parade and the
program in Memorial Hall. Howard
Bennetts, past commander of the
Grass Valley Legion Post, is chairman of the parade committee. He has
asked the public school pupils of
Grass Valley, and the students in Mt.
St. Mary’s Academy to march in the
procession as they have for many
years past. The American Legion and
Veterans of Foreign Wars and other’
patriotic organizations will march.
Mr. Bennetts asks that all those participating, in the parade, form at Mt.
St. Mary’s Academy. at 9:45 o’clock
Thursday.
The procession will march down
South Auburn street and traverse the
principal business streets, arriving
at Memorial hall at 11 o’clock.
Other features of the day will be
the sports program at Memorial
Park in Grass Valley. During the
It was pointed out in these columns and in thousands of other
newspapers when the Old Age Pension bill was passed that there was
no protection provided against raiding by a hard pressed Santa Claus.
But at that time we were reassured:
“Tush, Tush, your Uncle Sam, the
sould of:honesty would not do a thing
like that.’’ But it has happened and
now the tax payers must not only
pay the Old Age Security tax faithfully and promptly, but they must
also repay those Federal I O U’s
along with interest. Actually of
course this generation will never
liquidate this new bond issue, nor the
17 billion dollars which the striving
after the Abundant Life has already
cost. It will be a continuing burden
for half a century or more. As a matter of practice, when the Federal government begins to pay Old Age pensions on a basis of the taxes now
imposed, unless this borrowing from
the Old Age fund is stopped, they
will become a charge against current revenues. We have not the least
doubt that these pensions will be
paid, for this contract is entered into with the great majority of the vottrs. It is a contract which cannot be
repudiated, as was the gold clause in
government bond issues three years
ago, because, while repudiation of
the gold clause in general, affected
only a few of the detested’ “economic
royalists,’ the pension contract affects many ‘millions of voters.
”
But now the shoe pinches, The tax
burden and the uncertainty attaching to future tax plans has scared
investors and speclators in the best
American securities. The tax on surplus and_ reserves of corporations
have left them a disastrous alternative. Either they may pay the tax
which in the case of small growing
business corporations is extremely
onerous, or they may distribute their
surplus in dividends and leave them‘selves without reserves with which
to expand, or to cushion the adversity of another depression. It will be
remembered that following the erash
of 1929, the wealthy corporations
with great cash reserves were able to
maintain their payrolls and pay
scales, when called upon to do so by
more than a year following the market debacle. Actually corporations
spent billions of their ‘private funds
in staving off unemployment, which
under present conditions, would
mean just that much saving to tax
payers.
By diverting these corporate funds
into the Federal Treasury by the
present tax system, the Administration has not only removed from employers the moral obligation they
onee felt to look after the welfare
of their employes, and thousands of
them did feel that obligation, but it
has so crippled them and wrapped
them around with other restrictions,
that the stock market now reflects
the sharp distrust with which business men and investors in securities
now regard the New Deal. So, for the

— Happy Birthday
first time in several years we find
President Roosevelt cultivating business leaders and consulting with
them. With that inimitable and
chameleon quality that characterizes
‘him, -he says in effect, to the wild
eyed reformérs who have perfectly
insulated him from the realities, and
whose adulatio he prizes: ‘Pardon
me, if I seem to neglect you for
awhile. I must for a time consider
means to avoid an impending disaster and for that reason am conferring with ‘hard headed and hard
hearted business men.” ‘
I wonder when a dreamer dreams
And tells his dream and gges his way,
If there is something left behind
Which cannot perish and decay.
I wonder if the dream remains,
A thing of life and beauty still,
To steal into the hearts of men
And so incline them to its will.
I wonder who composed the lines which I now pass
along to you. They were found within the pages of an ancient
book during the bitter days when our President, Woodrow
Wilson, was suffering the fate of the dreamer whose untimely
and incomprehensible dream is despised and rejected by the
men and women of his time.
To my mind the little stanzas so vividly portrayed the
position of fame, dignity and high command once enjoyed
our unhappy President, and the utter completeness
downfall, that memory linked them inseparably with his honored but tragic name.
“Once I sat on a golden throne
And held the world in fee;
But below I heard my brothers moan
And I bent me down to see.
Lovingly bent and looked on them,
But I had no secret pain;
I sat aloft in my ruby gem
Like a rainbow without the rain:
My throne is shattered, helpless I lie
At the foot of its golden stair,
And the sorrows of all humanity
Through my heart make a thoroughfare.”
by
of his
Woodrow Wilson dreamed and told his dream and went
his way; rebuffed, disappointed, broken hearted, but the
dream did not die. Perhaps in a more propitious time when at
length the world is weary of the disgrace, insanity and waste
of warfare, it may smile again and lead the way to a true and
abiding peace.
Meanwhile, in the light of another Armistice Day, let us
I think they watch us from some far off shore,
Their faces grave with doubt;
“Have you kept faith with us?” they cry,
I hear the faint, far echo of their shout, =
“You go on in the same old, thoughtless way,
From day to day—unheeding and unthinking.
Our work is done, the rest remains to you;
do honor in our hearts to our war time President,; Woodrow
Wilson. Let us forget his faults and failures in the contemplation of our own broken faith with those who died to make his
dream come true.
Have you kept faith with us—have you been true?” '

WHO CANBEAT
OLSON IS QUERY
OF DEMOCRATS
By CLEM WHITAKER
Who can beat Olson?
That query, in recent weeks has
become almost an anvil chorus in
“regular’’ Democratic conclaves.
The party chieftains are convinejed that the nomination of Culbert
Olson as the Democratic standardbearer would. spell their doom—just
as the nomination of Upton Sinelair
played havoc with well laid plans in
1934. : oa
Olson, they believe, is ‘a’ ‘‘set-up’’
for their ancient enemies, the ReHe blicans, But the Demodrats—at
least the ‘‘regulars’’—have had @lmost as bad a case of. defeatism:
when they contemplated Olson as the
Republicans have had when they
sadly counted that 700,000 Democratic mapority in registration. Olson
is still laps out in front (they admit
it), even with his colossal blunder
in espousing the One-House legislature; Olson is the man to beat!
Who can beat Olson?
Into this picture steps a comparatively new figure—Herbert C Legg,
Los Angeles county supervisor!
“Give us a leg up,” say the Legg
followers, in effect, ‘‘and well take
care of Mr. Olson.”Legg, heretofore, has been somewhat of an off stage character. He
has contented himself with a quiet
campaign with little or no. publicity.
But Ross Marshall, an adept Los Angeles impresario, has been _ busily
contacting for Mr. Legg—for lo!
these many months. And now, emerges Legg—the compromise candidateAs he promises to figure in the
news more and more from now until
the Olson challenger is determined
upon, perhaps a thumbnail sketch of
(Mr. Legg is in order.
~Mr, Legg in 1936, was the Roosevelt manager in Southern California
—the fellow who poured oil on troubled waters and united leftists and
conservatives behind the President.
He was also ‘the compromise choice
for vice chairman of the Democratic
State Central. Committee—-nominated by Olson, seconded by McAdoo!
And that, according to the politicjians, is a phenonemal accomplishment.
But Mr. Legg, although a ¢+horough-going New Dealer, is outspokenly against the One-House Legislature, and is considered acceptable to
business interests as well as ‘his own
party. If they figure (as they may)
that a Republican can’t be electeu,
business groups might support him:
But on the other hand, Mr. Legg
was a Sstalwart,.in the fight to return relief administration ‘to the
counties (which Governor Merriam
stopped by veto) and is also popular with the submerged classes. He:
started as a water boy for a railroad
construction gang—and later built
railroads as a civil engineer of unusual ability. That’s the saga of Mr.
took place
torney Vernon Stoll of thsi city.
