E SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) ......-...--.---------$2.50 é . "* nate trate Me ate teste ste Poor Man’s Castle centuries before it was incorporated in the Bill of Rights of our Constitution. ° mortal phrase of the English statesman who declared of the humblest home in the realm: ““The wind may enter, and the rain may enter—but the King of England may not enter there.’ Hearts of Americans respond to the guarantee of the Constitution of the United States: ““The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects . . . shall not be violated . . . nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.” . Strange and startling it is, then, for the citizens of California to be confronted with a direct threat to destroy that cornerstone. Proposition 20 on the November ballot hides the “Single Tax” under the false banner of “Sales Tax Repeal’’ —and the ‘Single Tax’’, which would load the entire burden of governmental support upon land, would inevitably result in tax confiscation of every home in California and in State ownership. Tax confiscation, in plain fact, was the avowed shieck of Henry George, father of the “Single Tax’’ movement in the nited States, who asserted that private ownership of property was “‘against natural justice’’ and who frankly favored confiscation of all private property in land without compensation to what he termed the miscalled owners.’ It isn’t a thing for California to be proud of—to have the world know we have given the dignity of a place upon our election ballot to such an anti-American, anti-Constitutional ‘and pro-Communistic measure. We can, however, “‘save face’) by giving Proposition 20 a “No!’’ vote of such thunderous proportions that it may be heard across the cintinent.—Contributed. Butter For Labor’s Bread It might be in line with Nazi strategy—as has been charged—to seek liaison with the AFL, in view of the support thrown to the CIO by Communists. But the charge, even if true, need cause scant concern. AFL leadership has recognized the totalitarian theory as dangerous to labor's welfare—just as dangerous as the theory of Communism. In so far as the status is considered, the difference between Italy, Germany and Russia is solely geographical. In all three, wages and working canditions are fixed by a dictator's decree; labor has neither force nor voice. And in all three, labor’s wage scale and standards of living are so low that, in comparison, — the American worker is enjoying a prosperity boom. Government control of industry is the nightmare of the intelligent workingman. Under any circumstances, he must earn his bread by the sweat of his brow—but that bread is buttered on the side of private enterprise. Suppose, for instance, that the American railways, operating at a loss and in many cases bankrupt, should be driven to the wall by refusal of the railway unions to accept the wage cut proposed, to enable the lines to continue operating. Mie Government: would of necegsity take them over. And the Brotherhoods automatically would cease to exist as a Jabor force—for Federal employees cannot strike against the Government, and Federal ‘ wage scales are fixed arbitrarily by public officials, leaving workers without recourse in event of wage dissatisfaction. of business free of government control — and AFL leaders lank too intelligent not to recognize it. —Contributed.

Styled in an entirely new and striking beauty, the immediate impression of the 1938 Buick is that it is lower and longer with fleeter, racier lines. An innovation which contributes to the striking appearance of the cars and which also has important engineering advantages is the adoption of “cat-walk cooling’: employed extensively on. Euopean. racing cars. With this construction the, grilles are set low, in rakish contour, in the cat-walk section between hood and fender. This not only results in better streamlining while emphasizing the low lines of the car but also provides a narrower -hood with consequent improved vision and better cooling, ‘because air is admiti There are 18 body types among the four new eight cylinder chassis models. The Series 40 Special, on 120° inch wheelbase; the Series 60 Cen+ tury, with a wheelbase of 126 inches; Series 80 Roadmaster, with 133 .inch wheelbase and Series 90 Limited, with a wheelbase of 140 inches. Despite the fact that the new cars’! represent a decided step-up in value, very substantial price padunions have been made in the standard sedan and coupe moleds, according to Mr. Viles. ‘All models now _ have Buick’s Handi-Shift remote gear shift control with the shifter lever under the steering wheel, thus clearing the front compartment. Many other improvements for the driver’s convenience and safety will be found in the controls and throughout.the car, including a new warning flash direction signal, which through an illuminated arrow in the rear lamp indicates clearly to following cars. that a turn is to be made in the direction indicated, GRASS VALLEY LAUNDRY stheir shoulders. “relics have been found in the three "brick buildings now being torn down EXPANDS ITS CAPACITY So excellent has been business that to better serve many hundreds of satisfied customers, the Grass Valley Laundry and Dry Cleaners, exclusive users of the famous ‘‘Zoric process” have installed a new, up to the minute Zoric dry cleaning unit.

I’m getting CHINESE THEME OF “The Chinese in early Nevada City’? was the theme of a talk given by Mrs. Esther Tremaine Joyal at a meeting of Evangeline Chapter, O. E. S. Tuesday evening, October 4, when a Chinese program was carried out by the order. Mrs. Joyal stated that the Chinese
came to Nevada City and Grass Valley in early days. Chinatown was situated on Commercial street between Pine and York and from York on up to Broad. After the ‘big fire of 1886 Chinatown was built on or near Washington road off B street. They erected a large joss house and each year elected a joss and had a wonderful time. It was a gala day; all school children and towns-people attending. The first Chinatown was down on Deer Creek toward the Champion mine. The Chinese mined along the creek using ‘sluice’ boxes. They were a very industrious people, later they had large gardens of vegetables and carried their produce in baskets hung on a yoke across Some of the old on Commercial street and are on exhibit at Shaws store on the same street. Mrs. Joyal’s mother said that when she was a child she often went over to Chinatown when the Chinese had a funeral. They would weep and play wierd music. The towns-people also were attracted by the odd customs !of the Chinese. Subscribe for The Nugget. 0. E. S.
