Nevada City Nugget 305, Broad Street. Phoue 36 defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City. A Legal Newspaper, as oo Editor and Publisher H. M. LEETB Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Friday at Nevada City, California, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City, under Act of Congress, March 3, Dp 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) Congress Again Out of Washington; once again, come the, strains of “Stormy Weather,” Packing their bags, so recently unpacked, congressmen éan hardly be blamed if they take up the refrain and chant somewhat dolefully, “It’s rainin’ all the time -. * It’s all work and no play these days. And there are problems to try the souls of men and angels. The wage and hour bill, crop control legislation, the bit-etrly-contested Supreme Court issue, increased taxation, labor ‘and industrial proposals and determination of the nation’s foreign policy, with half the world aflame with war—such are some of the questionns which will confront Congress when it reconvenes on November 15 in special session. Clashing opinions, angry debate and long, gruelling hours of legislative can people are either divided or undecided. But there is another problem confronting Congress which every reasonable, intelligent American knows must be met and solved if we are to avert a new economic catastrophe far more serious than the last. That problem is our colossal indebtedness—our current policy of living on borrowed money. We owe 37 billion dollars—a sum so great that many economists say no Congress will ever dare to levy sufficient taxes to pay up and bail out. Yet nations, like individuals, are accountable. One way _ or another, we must pay. If we don’t pay in taxes, we shail ‘pay, within a few years, by the ruinous system of inflation— by suddenly finding our life insurance worth half what we paid for it; our dollars worth 50 cents at the corner store. In Germany, when inflation hit full stride. it took a wheelbarrow ful! of marks to buy a loaf of bread. Certainly there are enough intelligent men in Washing_ ton to prevent that sort of disaster in America. But we cannot prevent it until we stop living, as a nation, far beyond our income. In California, we have started to back-track a bit. A legislative proposal to break down the requirement of a twothirds vote for revenue bonds— and make it easier to get into debt—has been held up on referendum and will undoubtedly be beaten at next year’s election. But now it’s time for Congress to act. Let’s balance that budget!—Contributed. Schools Take a New Trend : Although Fall enrollments in many of California's elementary and high schools have shown increases, in other communities there has been a sharp drop which has. caused unnecessary alarm. However, it is the schools which have shown a reduction in the number of enrolled students that are in line with a major trend throughout the country: Shrinking enrollment is due neither to a lack of truant officers or the high cost of having children, according to authoritative actuaries. They place the cause entirely on the stopping af immigration. Several years ago when the widespread ban went into effect, they estimated the probable results of this action upon schoo! enrollment and population. Their predictions have proved surprisingly exact. This year’s steep enrollment drop in New York City schools from kindergarten to the eighth grade, amounting to . 7,000 less than last year, is an indication of the normal trend throughout America.—Contributed. °’ THIS LAD WAS UNFORTUNATE San Francisco, California October 7, 1837 Mrs. Patrick Murphy, Salem, Oregon. Dear Mrs. Murphy: ~— : With reference to your recent letter, I regret exceedingly: that your son, Ralph, came wearily home with green hair after swimming in the Williamette river below our mills, ut inasmuch as the river is posted, ‘I fail to see that any responsibility for his color rests with our firm. We have a perfect legal right to manufacture green blankets at our plant, and we also have a-permit to dump the surplus aye-stufts Into the Willamette. we We've been called to task for this condition before, Mrs. Murphy, but the court always decided in our favor. Only last spring a gentleman from Salem came to us with a purple moustache because he’d fallen ut of a boat one day when we happened to be making a large order of babies’ blankets. We did all we could to placate this man and even agreed to have him dry cleaned at our expense, but he insisted on’ a legal trial, which he lost. If you will send Ralph over to the plant at your convenience we will be glad to say that we will soak him in our vat No 8, in the hope that we can restore the natural color of his hair, although, I must say, Mrs Murphy, that we use fast dyes in our merchandise: and guarantee them against running or fading. The only least alternative that I can suggest is that we dip Ralph in a boiler of black analine, which will be a less conspicious shade than he’s dyed now. I will. call you on the phone the next time we have a run of lap robes. As a matter of fact, madam, you ought tobe thankful that your boy ‘didn’t have-a full beard when he dove into ‘the Willamette, or matyeotelaguae thave been worse if we had be emptying the overflow from a run of striped woolen mufflers. I’)] grant you that green hair is not a very popular shade but at least his hair and eyebrows don’t clash, as we say in the woolen industry. Yours very truly. R. C. MACMAN, Chief Chemist. .
