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.

1939 BUICK IS
LOWER IN PRICE
Making its bow in the Grass Valley showrooms of Paul Viles, Nevada
County Buick dealer, the 1939 Buick
is expected to receive a greater welcome than ever has been accorded a
new model offering in the history
of this make.
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.

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.
