YORK AND COMMERCIAL STREETS g ‘NEVADA CITY, PHONE 3808 fairs and recently has called him a FORTUNATE ALTERNATIVE a FRANK R. KENT (in The Baltimore Sun) , WASHINGTON — Inefficiency is’ the really serious indictment made! by the dictators against the democ-. acies. It is true that a considerable . amount of inefficiency is the price we pay—and it is worth it—for the' individual liberty inherent in our form of government. France did not collapse nor is England today desperately fighting for her life because the leaders of those countries were evil or sinister, but only: because, under their control, their governments did not do their jobs even reasonably well. They were not the men to make democracy work. They were the men who couldn’t make it work. Nor is this country, now suddenly called on to build a great defense machine, in its present tragically messed up and helpless condition because Mr. Roosevelt is.a wicked man. It is in that condition because, under Mr. Roosevelt and his starryeyed New Deal aides, the inefficiency inseparable from democracy has been expanded into almost total incompetency. In this country we can stand indefinitely the inevitable inefficiercy and its accompanying ‘waste so long as we head in the right direction and cling to the fundamentals upon which our system rests. What: we cannot stand indefinitely is the reversal ‘of the direetion. What really endangers our survival as a free people is the tossing aside by our rulers of basic things, their contempt for common sense and their disregard. of the teachings of experience for half-baked experiments, the failures of which Many years ago: have-been recorded in history. That is the charge against Mr. and it is a charge for Which none but a demagogue defense is possible. -It is because he has been guilty of these things that today, in the midst of a great world erisis which menaces our. security and calls for the expenditure of many billions of dollars for its defense, we find ourselves in an extended and enfeebled state unfit to stand the coming strain and unprepared for the unavoidable sacrifices. finances are in an alarmingly confused condition. They have Deen} for seven years. There has been a vast and unbroken accumulafion of deficits. The debt has reached staggering proportions. Although the already heavy ‘taxes will be heavily increased by the ‘bill just
enacted, revenues will fall many millions short of meeting the normal operating governmental expenses. No provision whatever has been made for meeting the immense new armament appropriations, The threat of ruinous _ inflation, which is the inevitable consequence of an uncontrolled Treasury, oppresses every thoughtful citizen but seems as yet not to have seeped through the unthinking masses. upon whose support Mr. Roosevelt has traded but who in the end will be the worst victims of his incompetency. This situation is too clear to admit of denial. The unemployment problem is completely unsolved. Neither industry nor agriculture is prosperous. The WPA and relief rolls are swollen to great size. There ment checks The federal job holders ow number more than 1,000,000 and the country is full of class hatred stirred up by New Deal policies. In the face of this extraordinary and indisputable record, and in defiance of \American tradition, Mr. the facts are\ calmly considered his candidacy is almost unbelievable. It is, of course, the war—and only the war—that gives him this chance of success. It enables him to ignore even mention of the nation’s perilous fiscal condition. It, enables him, jthrough the pouring out of defense billions to ereate an artificial recovery and falsely to pose as having been “‘drafted”’ for a third term be cause of the national emergency. It is understandable how the job holders, the subsidized millions, the uninformed and the politicians can’ accept and push this view. But it is not easy to conceive how a newspaper like the St, Louis Post Dispatch which is opposed to the third term in principle, recognized Mr. “Roosevelt’s incompetency in domestic afdictator, should now support him on the ground that Mr. Willkie is ‘untried.’’ Nor, is any less puzzling that Miss Dorothy Thompson who, in effect, has pretty plainly said that in domestic affairs Mr. Roosevelt an. incompetent,: should now ‘work with the department, was} insist} that he is an indispensable genius in UNEMPLOYMENT CHECKS IN SEPT. TOTAL $19:458 One of the highest monthly placement records ever made by the State , Department of Employment was re1corded in September of this year, according to announcement made today by Edward E. Steele, manager of the Grass Valley department office. Placements for the month totaled 28,208 against 27.21 for August of this year, an increase of 4.4 per cent, and against 26,963 for September 1939, an increase of 4.6 per cent, Steele said. . The Department’s active file, that is, persons who are registered for dropped 10.4 per cent, from 436,745 in August, to 391,447 in September. In the Grass Valley office, placements for September 1940 totaled 94, against 71 for August and ee for September 1939. In the unemployment comensaforeign affairs. : To the average mind, neither of those positions makes sense. For one}, thing most people would rather take a chance on a man who awas ‘untried’ than continue one**vyho had been tried for seven years: and failed. For another; it seems far more sensible to believe that a man who has made so horrible a mess of. domestic. affairs in a time. of. peace would be the last man to entrust with national leadership when war threatens and even greater executive capacity is needed. It seems rassonable to think that those who know the conceded Roosevelt weaknesses and the proven Roosevelt incompetency would feel that in this critical stage an ordinary man of common sense and good character would be preferable. When the alternate is a man like seems a great piece of national luck in which wunderstanding citizens should rejoice. }employment had tanen up some of Willkie it; . 1235,057, tion field, a state wide total of 313, 880 checks were distributed to eligible workers during September of this year, amounting to $4,414,857. . This eémpared favorably with 370.{685 cheeks written in August of this year, for a total distribution of $5,indicating that increasea the slack, Steele stated. In the Grass Valley area, a total of 1,282 checks were written in September 1940, and $19,458 distributed to unemployed workers here. PASTOR THANKS ALL WHO AIDED CHURCH The Rev.
