He was only 33 years old when death came. But during his service in the House of Lords he uttered a principle of government which Americans may well der. At the end of a celebrated’ abate in which an attempt had been made to destroy root and branch Episcopacy, Lucius Cary said: it is not NECESSARY to chatge, it is necessary NOT to change.’’ * He there enunciated a rule that would stand many a man in good stead in the conduct of his private affairs, as well as in governing his exercise of the franchise. Roosevelt’ Sary to change. The New Deal philosophy of change, is reflected in, and colors the huge list of initiative measures, referendums and constitutional amendments which confronts California voters. Interested groups have loaded the ballot with a hodge podge of ill consideped degislation, ‘bills framed by one group to injure another, bills proposing a. remedy for conditions which could easily be remedied by exercising laws that we now have. Added to these are a number of silly and wicked measures which would add to the burden of the groaning tax payer, Out of 223 measures on the ballot the Nugget recommends a Yes vote on seven. In making these recommendations the editor is adntittedly influenced by . Ge recommendations made by the Egrevcnwealth Club of California. This group of disinterested and civic minded men has done more to improve legislation in California, more to better criminal procedure in the courts, more to raise legal procedure in general to a higher standard, and more to enlighten public opinion on all matters pertaining to the welfare of California, than any other group in the state. Since ‘tne effort of the single taxers again to place this measure-on the ballot was defeated in the State Supreme Court, Jo. 2 heads the list of twenty three No. 2 To Repeal the Personal Income Tax Law. Vote No because—. ti event it passed it would leave the legislature no recourse but to levy a state tax on real estate. The appeal of the proponents of this measure is to the effect that ‘the legislature should be disciplined and forced to practice economy. It is held by taking away forever the power to tax incomes the law makers can be coerced into retrenchment. This not true. The only way to discipline tax levying, spendthrift legislators is to cut off their heads at the polls. No. 3 State Liquor Control, Vote NO. The Commonwealth Club made no recommendation on this issue. But it should be defeated because it establishes in another form the same rotten liquor machine that the state now groans under with the Board of Equalization in power. It provides a state liquor triumvirate for eight years at $8,000 per annum each. If this measure were to be adopted it is a foregone conclusion that we shall the same heaven-offending stench in liquor control that we have under the State Board of EqualizaScandal will always be a concommittant of liquor control, but we prefer a number of small local stinks to a gigantic state cess pool. No. 4 Prohibiting Tide Land Surface Drilling and Providing for Slant Drilling in State Owned Petroleum Pools. Vote NO. Because this measure is hati supported primarily ‘by one oil company which will benefit from it at the expense of the people of California. Under the guise of returning a portion of royalties charged. by the state for the oil recovered from the state owned pools, for the improvement of state parks, this company js backing a measure which will rob the people of about four times the No. 5 Los Angeles Exposition Bonds.

Scoutmaster Verne Gleason will be aided by Assistant Scoutmasters Bob Tucker, and Albert Pratti, in reorganizing the scout activity. -They have set as their new objective the uniforming of the troop. This can be done in various ways, but it is hoped: the ;parents that can* equip their boys\ will cooperate in this move and that public spirited people who have odd jobs will contact either the scoutmaster or the assistant scoutmasters so that boys who haven’t the means may in this way earn the necessary funds. Any adult who has an interest in this scout activity and feels that. he would like to devote an evening each week to.scouting should contact Dr. C. W. Chapman, chairman of the troop committee. Scouting experience is not necessary. A genuine interest in boys and their proper growth is the only requisites. —— Auburn spent Sunday in Nevada City visiting their parents, Rev, ‘and Mrs. Buckner and Mr. and Mrs. R.

WINTER PROGRAM FOR CCC BOYS A busy winter after a summer in which fire fighting was mixed with various kinds of conservation act‘ivities awaits 8000 CCC enrollees in. 50 camps in the national forests of) California. According to reports from U. S. Regional Forester, S. B. Show, San Francisco, the worst of the fire danger is over for 1936.

Consideration for the Indian, no doubt, .as. to the importance of that type of publicity for’his city, and a wholehearted belief that a prominent display of the information that “Nevada County’s annual output of gold totals 7,000,000 or more dollars a year’? would be the best kind of publicity for the community, lead Conner to his action. Below the Nugget reprints the two letters, the burning appeal from the Sacramento organization and the answer by Conner, : Mr. Fred E. Conner, President, i Chamber of Commerce, Nevada City, California. Dear Mr. Conner: Yop have seen in the press where a unique publicity feature is being sponsored in Sacramento in connection ‘with the San Francisco Bay Bridge Opening Celebration. This publicity will be of direct benefit to the major communties in the Coe Empire. 5 Briefly, the idea embraces the scheduling of warious forms of transportation in such a manner that all will reach the Oakland entrance to; the bridge simultaneously on November 12—the first day of the celebration. Sacramento is starting an Ox team hitched to a Mexican cart. have written the Grass Valley Chamber suggesting that it enter an Indian runner, Perhaps.you will wish to tie in with this community. Other communities will provide stage We coaches, miner and burro, pony express rider, horse and buggy, various types of automobiles, highwheeled bicylcles, etc., as well as Indians in canoes down the Sacramento river. Both the Columbia and National Broadcasting Systems have agreed to follow each of these “eonveyances” and periodfcally amnounce to the public thé location along the route of the entrants of the various communities. In this way each city having an entrant of some type or other will tie in on the celebration in such a manner as to give it direct publicity. The cost is nominal. to enter an Indian runner, you would merely take care of the cost of his maintenance. Hach community participating in this way makes it possible for us to set up certain prizes from our own fund which will be really worth while, thereby giving you an opportunity to derive a benefit, in addition to the publicity which will accrue. The amount of the prizes, cannot be determined until we get the complete set-up and know how many communities are participating. Therefore, don’t figure your profit to come from prize money but rather from the public-. If you were at the end of the publicity feature. On Thursday, our Handicapping Committee will meet ‘to give each community its handicap, based upon the type of transportation selected. For this reason; it is VITALLY important that we know not later than Wednesday morning whether or not you wish to partic#pate. Hither send us a wire or get us on the telephone if you wish more details. The San Francisco Bay papers are all anxious for this feature and will want photoghaphs of not only the ity—that you have a real premium . Chamber Head Says Nix On Indian Entry In S.F. Bridge Race _ start but will probably have photo. graphers along the route to catch the entrants as they are in course of . their progress. Every news service in the west is awaiting the. opportunity to capitalize this unique feature. We wish we. ‘could see you personally and emphasize how much value there is to your participation, particularly in view of the nominal expense item involved. Please let us hear from your IMMEDIATELY. Very truly yours. ARTHUR S. DUDLEY, Secretary-Manager. October: 29, 1936. Mr. Arthur S. Dudley Secretary-Manager Chamber of Commerce Sacramento, California Dear Mr. Dudley: “Ror goodness’ sake, no!” said the young lady, when asked by her gentleman friend for a kiss. “What good would it do?’ I am answering your letter of October 27t immediately as you Treéquested, therefor I shall not be enabled to present the contents of your letter to our members and directors until next Monday evening, which is our regular meeting night. constructive and economic publicity but somehow your suggestion, to me, doesn’t sotind altogether in order. I personally don’t believe an Indian boy in running togs, sprinting from Nevada City to te Bay pridge ‘would be of much valued publicity to us; feeling sure that by the time he got there he would be so out of breath that he couldn’t tell the people where he came from, and, too, I do not believe the laws of the Indian reservations would allow one of their men to run over a hundred miles without stopping. However, if my good friend, Lowell Freeman, President of the Grass Valley Chamber. of Commerce, would*care to make this sprint to the end of working away. some of his superflous energy, I would be very glad to pace him the entire distance with my own car, and as evidence of good faith in my proposition I. shall ‘gend Mr. Freeman-a copy of this letter. Although I do not have the authority from my directors. I believe, from a publicity standpoint, the board will agree with me in the stand I am taking and would be willing to finance, in preference a sign properly displayed before the multitude, reading as follows: “Nevada County’s annual output f gold totals 7,000,000 or more dollars and is where more capital is needed.”’ Seriously Arthur, I am a bit curious to know how in the world you are going to reconcile the speed of the modern -stream-lined cars with the minimum speed of 120 miles per hour and airplanes that will float 240 miles per hour with ox drawn carts, stage coaches, bicycle riders and Sacramento river canoes and have them all arrive at the zero hour in Oakland, November 12th. However, I know that you and Roy Clair have ‘done almost the impossible in the past-and-I am hoping that our gang will be enabled to assist in Yoading the grandstand. to witness what which in my mind, will be one of the greatest spectacles secon yan ed on land or sea. With my personal regards to bé you and Roy. Yours very truly, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Per F. E. Conner, President. @, oy Yes, we are, at all times, seeking.

Consideration for the Indian, no doubt, .as. to the importance of that type of publicity for’his city, and a wholehearted belief that a prominent display of the information that “Nevada County’s annual output of gold totals 7,000,000 or more dollars a year’? would be the best kind of publicity for the community, lead Conner to his action. Below the Nugget reprints the two letters, the burning appeal from the Sacramento organization and the answer by Conner, : Mr. Fred E. Conner, President, i Chamber of Commerce, Nevada City, California. Dear Mr. Conner: Yop have seen in the press where a unique publicity feature is being sponsored in Sacramento in connection ‘with the San Francisco Bay Bridge Opening Celebration. This publicity will be of direct benefit to the major communties in the Coe Empire. 5 Briefly, the idea embraces the scheduling of warious forms of transportation in such a manner that all will reach the Oakland entrance to; the bridge simultaneously on November 12—the first day of the celebration. Sacramento is starting an Ox team hitched to a Mexican cart. have written the Grass Valley Chamber suggesting that it enter an Indian runner, Perhaps.you will wish to tie in with this community. Other communities will provide stage We coaches, miner and burro, pony express rider, horse and buggy, various types of automobiles, highwheeled bicylcles, etc., as well as Indians in canoes down the Sacramento river. Both the Columbia and National Broadcasting Systems have agreed to follow each of these “eonveyances” and periodfcally amnounce to the public thé location along the route of the entrants of the various communities. In this way each city having an entrant of some type or other will tie in on the celebration in such a manner as to give it direct publicity. The cost is nominal. to enter an Indian runner, you would merely take care of the cost of his maintenance. Hach community participating in this way makes it possible for us to set up certain prizes from our own fund which will be really worth while, thereby giving you an opportunity to derive a benefit, in addition to the publicity which will accrue. The amount of the prizes, cannot be determined until we get the complete set-up and know how many communities are participating. Therefore, don’t figure your profit to come from prize money but rather from the public-. If you were at the end of the publicity feature. On Thursday, our Handicapping Committee will meet ‘to give each community its handicap, based upon the type of transportation selected. For this reason; it is VITALLY important that we know not later than Wednesday morning whether or not you wish to partic#pate. Hither send us a wire or get us on the telephone if you wish more details. The San Francisco Bay papers are all anxious for this feature and will want photoghaphs of not only the ity—that you have a real premium . Chamber Head Says Nix On Indian Entry In S.F.

Every news service in the west is awaiting the. opportunity to capitalize this unique feature. We wish we. ‘could see you personally and emphasize how much value there is to your participation, particularly in view of the nominal expense item involved. Please let us hear from your IMMEDIATELY. Very truly yours. ARTHUR S. DUDLEY, Secretary-Manager. October: 29, 1936. Mr. Arthur S. Dudley Secretary-Manager Chamber of Commerce Sacramento, California Dear Mr. Dudley: “Ror goodness’ sake, no!” said the young lady, when asked by her gentleman friend for a kiss. “What good would it do?’ I am answering your letter of October 27t immediately as you Treéquested, therefor I shall not be enabled to present the contents of your letter to our members and directors until next Monday evening, which is our regular meeting night. constructive and economic publicity but somehow your suggestion, to me, doesn’t sotind altogether in order. I personally don’t believe an Indian boy in running togs, sprinting from Nevada City to te Bay pridge ‘would be of much valued publicity to us; feeling sure that by the time he got there he would be so out of breath that he couldn’t tell the people where he came from, and, too, I do not believe the laws of the Indian reservations would allow one of their men to run over a hundred miles without stopping. However, if my good friend, Lowell Freeman, President of the Grass Valley Chamber. of Commerce, would*care to make this sprint to the end of working away. some of his superflous energy, I would be very glad to pace him the entire distance with my own car, and as evidence of good faith in my proposition I. shall ‘gend Mr. Freeman-a copy of this letter. Although I do not have the authority from my directors. I believe, from a publicity standpoint, the board will agree with me in the stand I am taking and would be willing to finance, in preference a sign properly displayed before the multitude, reading as follows: “Nevada County’s annual output f gold totals 7,000,000 or more dollars and is where more capital is needed.”’ Seriously Arthur, I am a bit curious to know how in the world you are going to reconcile the speed of the modern -stream-lined cars with the minimum speed of 120 miles per hour and airplanes that will float 240 miles per hour with ox drawn carts, stage coaches, bicycle riders and Sacramento river canoes and have them all arrive at the zero hour in Oakland, November 12th. However, I know that you and Roy Clair have ‘done almost the impossible in the past-and-I am hoping that our gang will be enabled to assist in Yoading the grandstand. to witness what which in my mind, will be one of the greatest spectacles secon yan ed on land or sea. With my personal regards to bé you and Roy. Yours very truly, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Per F. E. Conner, President. @, oy Yes, we are, at all times, seeking.
