. 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.

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.”

future. The survey is being made by

Brough, a technically trained forester, and under the general direction
of the Adelbert Faussett, in charge
of range surveys for the California

On both private and government

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.

far ‘have shown portions of some
‘ranges to be badly overgrazed while
other portions of the same range
have had little use at all.
