Labor’s Real Enem wie 4 The United States, during the past decade, has gone through a period of privation and travail, of unemployment and insecurity, that left millions of citnzens embittered and distrustful. ~ When unemployed workers were told that’ the “employing class’’ was es: cnsible for their difficulties—and were told that “capital is the enemy of labor’? —— many. ir. their bitterness, agreed with the agitators who addressed them. But gradually, some of the actual causes of America’s industrial disaster are coming to light. The jobless workman, who finds that his “‘boss’’ has gone broke—and is also jobless—ie likely to wonder whether his employer was actually his enemy or whether both are victims of the same situation. Highly significant, in this regard, are the following facts which have been dug out by research experts. seeking to learn the actual causes of the depression. In 1916, the net income of corporations in the United States was 9.1 billions. From this income, taxes to the extent of . .2 billions were taken.-or 12.87 per cent. Contrasted with this, in 1939 corporations had a net income of 6.4 billions. And from this, taxes took 4.4 billions. or 68.75 per cent! or When the economists and historians finally write the real story of the depression, it will be an illuminating document. When the facts are known, it will probably turn out that rapacious political officeholders, who spent the nation’s income in riotous experimentation. — and taxed the jobs and businesses of millions out of existence—were the real ‘““enemies’ of labor and employer alike. For when more than 68 per cent of industry's net income must go to pay taxes, it all too apparent why jobs were abolished; why factories, instead of . expending, ran on ha!f-shifts without capital either to operate or make improvements. The great Thomas Jefferson warned that a wise and frugal government should restrain men from injuring one an. other, but should “leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement and not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.” Perhaps the United States, having learned its lesson by suffering will finally make its public officials-abide by that dictum.—Contributed. . Conscription-Russian Style . Communist organizers in America obviously are under orders to foment all poscible agitation against compulsory military service. Working among the young and impressionable, Moscow’s agitators plant the thought that capitalistic: greed is forcing the oppressed masses to take up arms. [If it werent for “corporate interests’ and “‘entrenched wealth ’ the propaganda goes, there could be no such thing as conscription. We wonder what those who. have swallowed thot hej thought when they read last week's brief news that in = Russia youths of 18, 19 and 20 have been “called” to swell the already enormous standing Red Army. There will be no news of arguments in Soviet legislative bodies over that, conscription decree; no news of protest meetings of students on col_lege campuses. The boys will answer the call, in silence and subjection. Any and all objectors will be disposed of by firing squad. _ We can't help but wonder what the Communists and “parlor pinks’, crying out rebelliously .against compulsory military service ordained by democratic process and after free debate, think of conscription, Russian style> Or do they think ?—Contributed. RANGE SURVEY IN PROGRESS ON TAHOE NATIONAL FOREST ayviet . . { ¢ _——— fULs4r WONDER IN’ I Wonder if Paul Bunyan Is in our midst today, Performing tasks which, ‘‘can’t be done,” : In his accustomed way. I think I see him stalking Across the mountains now The light of purpose.in his eyes And ruffles on his brow. I wonder if Paul Bunyan is tramping through the land today, solving intricate problems and accomplishing impossible tasks with all the vim and vigor with which he was accredited by the lumberjacks in the Main woods ‘ong years ‘ago. I really do believe that Paul is lending ‘a hand to many projects unfolding about us. There is the Shasta dam designed to benefit the vast central valleys of California, and the Narrows dam, behind which debris will be stored when the gravel mines begin to roar and roar again. And who, I ask you, but Paul Bunyan could shunt lumber up to the very top of Sierra Buttes and build a ranger's station upon the highest pinnacle? Yes Paul must be busy in our midst and the evidences of -his presence grow plainer day by day. “Nonsense?” You say! . don’t think so. Paul Bunyan is not merely a myth, he is more than a grotesque legend of the great north woods; Paul Bunyan represents the indomitable, _unconquerable and irresistible will to do, which has animated our ploneers.ever since that vast army of American ancestors disembarked from the Mayflower and set foot upon the Rock of Plymouth. So when you are confionted by an unsurmountable obstacle, or faced by a job that ‘‘can’t be done,” say to yourself, <® ’ . . . a9 + Paul Bunyan wouldn't be stumped by this situaticn:” a: Paul will come hurrying to your assistance; for he is the un. daunted pioneer spirit, whilch lies—sometimes latent in the minds and hearts of all courageous Americans. I Wonder if Nero really did fiddle while Rome burned. The truth about that old affair is of no consequence now; but please tell me—is Congress fiddling while the world is in flames? I Wonder if much of the aversion to conscription is the result of wishful thinking. Our way of living is in peril—no one. denies that tragic fact, and if war comes to America it will come with all the force and ruthless efficiency which totalitarian powers has spent long years in developing. Would we dare to meet that sort of warfare with unseasoned recruits ? Wouldn't it be suicide to do so? If war does come to America. a year of military training with its resultant increase jn physical stamina and mental alertness would harm no one. . Uncle Silas says: “That fist fight indulged in by two U. S. Senators was a waste of energy; what those boys need is something that will open their eyes instead of closing them.” ‘County Democratic Central Commit. BY DEMOCRATS Frank G.

Land, at Sierraville will know how many cattle and sheep he can give roonr and board to on the Sierraville district of the Tahoe (National Forest when the range survey, now in progress, is completed in the very near future. The survey is being made by @ party of five in charge of Elmo Brough, a technically trained forester, and under the general direction of the Adelbert Faussett, in charge of range surveys for the California Tegion of the forest service. Upon completion of the Sierraville district, the party ‘will move to the Truckee district administered by Ranger H. I. Snider and will work until the storms necessitates closing down. On both private and government land, within the district, the different types of browse and grass land are Dlatted and classified as to palatiblity and carrying capacity. Brough has been using the aerial photo prints resulting from the aerial survey made over the Tahoe last summer and typing material directly on the print. This has saved considerable field work, he states, over the old method of typing on blank maps. Data are computed by sections an@ an overlay shows data complete for each private owner’s land and for each forest grazing allotment. The overlay also shows location of salt logs, springs and fences.
