In his book on Constitutional Government, Woodrow Wilson says: “Our courts are the balance-wheel of our whole constitutional system, and ours is the only constitutional system so balanced and controlled. Other constitutional systems lack complete poise and certainty of operation because they lack the support and interpretation of authoritative, indisputable courts of law. “It is clear beyond all need of exposition that for the definite maintenance of constitutional understandings it is indispensable, alike for the preservation of the individual, and for the preservation of the integrity of the powers of the Government, that there should be some non-political forum in which those -understandings can be impartially debated and determined. That forum our courts supply. — “The constitutional powers of the courts,” concludes Wilson, “constifeo} tute the ultimate safeguard alike of individual privilege and governmental pretogative. It is in this sense that our judiciary is the balance. wheel of our entire system.” Copyright 1937 by Max Berns Soe . SacramentoCha SACRAMENTO, Sept. 30.—Federal assistance in the financing of municipal airports in the ~ eleven was urged by the Aviation Planning Conference at Sacramento last week end as the aeronautical leaders of the nation closed a three day conference. This suggestion was contained in one of eleven resolutions passed by the group after hearing Major Genwestern’ states S. Army Air Corps; his assistant Brigadier General Henry H. Arnold; Colonel J. Monroe Johnson, Assistant Secretary of Commerce; LieutenantColonel W. Sumpter-Smith, Principal Aeronautical Engineer, W. P. A.; Fred Fagg, Jr., Director of the Bureau of Air Commerce; and Brigadier General Delos C. Emmons, Commander of the First Wing of the G. H. Q. Air Force, outline*the government’s policies in regard to the development of aviation on the West Coast. Accomplishment of the recommendations made by the conference is expected through the formation of a permanent Western Aviation Planning Council, composed of representatives of the eleven western states, Alaska and Hawaii. A board of aes governors, representatives of the states and territories would ¢arry out the. recommendations of the council ‘which has as its purpose the advancement and fostering of the best interests of aviation. Among the other resolutions passed by the conference was one urging the Department of. Agriculture, the Department of Interior, and the State and National Park Services to construct suitable lanading fields as rapidly as funds are available in the various recreation areas of the nation, It was pointed out that there were too few airports particularly in the mountain areas of the national parks and that construction of landing fields would be a safety measure as well as providing another aceess to the parks. In order to assure adequate permanent policy for American’s aeronautical development, the conference recommended to the Senate and the House of Representatives the creation in each ‘body of standing committees on civil aeronautics. The several states and political subdivisions were urged to enact laws ‘zoning airport areas to prevent the construction or mairtenance of hazards, and laws to establish the principle of eminent domain for air carriers. The McCarran-Lea Bill now Scattini, Greenfield, “ALWAYS ESPECIALLY SELECTED Commercial Street TRY OUR ROASTS CHOPS HAMBURGER COLD MEATS FOR THE AUGUST-SEPTEMBER LUNCHES KEYSTONE MARKET CALANAN & RICHARDS PHONE 67 Nevada City eral Oscar Westover, Chief of the U., pending in Congress was endorsed in principle bysthe conference. This bill would place the control of commercial aviation in the Interstate Commerce Commission which now similarly controls motor’ transport and the railroads. In view of the success of this conference, it was recommended ‘that similar geographical groups of states in the nation organize similar conferences to aid in planning the development of aviation. The conference also recommended that congress create and maintain an adequate system of civil airways in the ‘territory of, Alaska. pointed out that the airplane is the solution of the transportation problems in Alaska where it is impracticable and uneconomical to provide adequate highways and railroads. LONG DISTANCE PHONE RATE CUT SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.—Relative to the announcement of the California Railroad Commission regarding a reduction in The Pacific Telephhone and Telegraph Company’s intrastate California toll rates, N. R. Powley, president of the company, stated: “Due to the company’s heavy increase in pay rolls and taxes —-pay rolls at the end of August were, at an anhual rate, $10,035,000 higher or 22.6 per cent more than for the same period a year ago and taxes have increased approximately $1,500,000 or 16.8 per cent—we have not felt that it was incumbent upon us to reduce any of our ‘toll rates. The Railroad Commission of California have requested us to reduce our longer haul California intrastate toll rates due to the contrast of these
rates with the long haul rates in effect for traffic destined to points outside the state. “We feel that, in the face of the most substantial rising labor and tax expenses ever experienced by our company, we should not be asked to take this loss in revenue at this time. Our rate level in California— our short haul toll rates and our rates. for exchange service throughout the state—is one of the lowest in effect and our revenue _ necessities should, therefore, be protected by not disturbing our long haul toll rates. “All of our operating costs are rapidly rising — in fact if the general price level, including wages and taxes, continues to rise, obviously, our telephone rates cannot long continue 2 contrary to the general price trend, particularly if this trend continues to accelerate substantially upward.” GRASS VALLEY CITY ATTORNEY APPOINTED William Cassettari of Grass Valley has ‘been appointed by the Valley city council to the post of city attorney.

Grazing permits yielded $148,962 for the year. Miscellaneous special use and water power leases brought. proceeds of $196,017.

California will receive most of this fund because only a small area ih southwestern Nevada is included in Forest Service Region 5. “An additional 10 per cent of tie gross income is spent for the conests, struction of roads and trails in the, national forests of. this region.
