Wriston, president. of Brown University, has delivered his own ringing JiAccuse! against bureaucracy in words as measured specific, analytical and formidable as those of Zola when he burst the conspiracy against Dreyfus . wide open and awakened France to the corruptions within the army and the state. Dr. Wriston’s blast is entitled Challenge to Freedom and has just been published by Harper & Bros. y) “The time is ripe for the resugence of faith in public opinion,”’ says Dr. Wriston. ‘“The world is sick of the brutalities of power politics. The people are weary of the arrogance of bureaucracy. They are tired to death of the multipliation of pronouncements and orOrs and the confusion of documents and report. Government must simplify its structure, shorten its proceedings, limit its reguJations. The people must resist centralization with bitter determination.’’ Invasion and abrogation of the eitizen’s right to be left alone has been the primary aim and achievement of the New Deal, according to Dr; Wriston — an aim and achievement implemented. by a vast bureaucrery, under the direction of”an executive who continually seeks to by-pass congress,-destroy the checks°and balances established under the Constitution, abrogate unto himself functions properly the sphere of the judicjary and the legislature, invade the rights of the states and destroy the framework of democracy. What Dr. Wriston calls the ‘termites of bureaucracy” are, he says, undermining the foundations of freedom and representative government. If the people do not rise up and demand a_ whittling down of at least half of the existing personnel of the present federal administrative agencies and eall a halt to the creation of new such agencies our democracy is done for, our productive capacity will be ruined, our nation will be bankrupted, the war debt will never be liquidated, the Four Freedoms will become a_ hollow mockery and a Fascist dictatorship will rule over tbe ruins of an impoverished nation. The New Deal, he says, has aggravated nearly every ill it set out to cure. The president’s record is a constant series of broken promises. The New Deal set’ out to break up monopolies; it has progressed by driving small businesses out and concentrating production and distribution in the hand of fewer and bigger monopolies. In 1933 the president complained that “our economic life was dom‘inated by some 600-odd corporations, who controlled two-thirds of American activity,’’ but, says Dr. Wriston, fat the end of a year of war 70 per cent of the dollar volume of conttacts was in the hands of 100 corporations.”” And the biggest corporation monopolist of all is that of the government itself. “Few people,” says Dr. Wriston, “have any conception of the number or size of the (government) . eorporations. Grouped under the heading ‘Government Corporation and Credit Agencies of the United States,’ 22 are specifically listed in the Treasury's daily statement; several of these have Many subIn addition there are some are s6ecret, sidiaries. others unnamed; and thus no information is available. “One of the most striking evidences of the corporations’ escape from the limitations of the governmental processes is to be found in their reporting pr actices., Thirty-two such corporations agencies, including several if not most of the larger ones, do _ not render any accounts to the géneral accounting office! Several publish no reports at all and entirely escape both official and public scrutiny.” In other words, while the government hampers and harasses the securities market and buries pri{ning with a dinmer, andThe California Hydraulic Atiorn Association, meeting in the Bret (Harte Inn Sunday, discussed airports for mining camps, post war dams for water conservation and placer mining, and a return to the American way of financing public improvements without help or reliance on ‘tthe federal government. George Hallock, president of the association revealed that. Alleghany in Sierra County, is taking the first steps to clear away manzanita brush on the ridge above the mining town, and is doing the work on its own. It is proposed to build there an air port on which landings by any but the largest planes now flying can be made. $ Hallock said that the tremendous war development of planes and their wide’ transportation adaptability foreshadows a far greater use in peace times than most people can imagine. Incidentally he spoke hopefully of obtaining new: all-year road into Alleghany at a cost of about $216,000, which the Sierra County supervisors are now considering. Regarding dams for water conservation and placer mining, Hallock CHMA DISCUSSES AIRPORTS, DAMS AND SELF RELIANCE mentioned two prodents which he thought would be quite feasible. One dam site on the Middle Yuba River at the mouth of Wolf Creek he regarded necessary if the huge gravel deposits along San Juan Ridge are to be developed. For the *higher deposits in Relief and Badger Hills and the old Malakoff Diggings near North Bloomfield, he stated a dam on the South Yuba River mear what is khown as the Bast Fork would be necessary. William Wilson of Forest Hill, (Placer ‘County, vice president of the association, suggested that in considering post war plans, the organization get away from federal help in consummating them. He said it was about time American citizens everywhere got back to the fundamental principle of doing for themselves. If help were needed, he believed that state should be asked for it rather than the government at Washington, D. C. However, he advocated a return to the use of private capital in building projects for communities or regions of limited iscope. 2 SPECTACULAR FIRE IN BROOM A spectacular fire broke out yes-. terday afternoon among the and burned.over seven acres being brought under control.

If that does not occur the armed forces will be demobilized into some new and drearier WPA, debt will multijly; private enterprise will wither and we shall. bé delivered into the hands of the system we defeated in war.

Engle attended both the directors’ meeting and the general meeting following, seeking -information in regard to the council’s aims. Engle gathered information on the Scrugham stockpile bill, the council’s objections to the bureaueratic control of the mining of war materials when an all out production is apparently needed and the organization’s efforts to date on the rescinding of the gold’ closing order. Engle was especially interested in the present movement to decentralize the steel industry and looked upon the recent allocation of two million dollars by congress towards an iron deposit survey as the first move in that direction. He said the jwar ‘had brought to the coast heavy industries that should not be taken away from us as soon as the war is over.

Steel and Jay Jeffries “of General Company of America. Outstanding iron deposits mentioned were that owned by Mrs. Freda MecGill in Shasta county running 70.16 per cent 2.42 per cent impurities. Mrs. McGill reported that she has been unsuccessful in getting the U. S. Bureau to consider drilling this deposit which she states is a mile long and a mile wide-and-adjoins a huge lime deposit also needed in the manu facture of steel. Jas. Melone of Plumas County drew attention to the Diamond Range deposit on the lands of the Red River Co., which he said was 7 miles long, contained at least a half million tons of 68 per cent ore. Chas. Averill of the Sacramento office of the State (Division of (Mines was present but would give no information regarding what his office would do towards assisting the survey. The council decided to ‘gather information on deposits and have appealed to Walter Bradley, state mineralogist, for aid. During the afternoon tests were made of ore from San Bernardino County, said to contain tin, by Wm. G. Kurth at his Chico testing plant. Two tests by Kurth before a committee headed by Capt. John D. Hub‘bard, experienced assayer, failed to show tin. Anotheg test by H. R. Brandenburg, Grass Valley chemist, drew the same result. A spectographic test by Kenneth Peer, head chemist for Ragooland-Broy, San Francisco, showed but, .01% tin content. In réporting the results to the general meeting Capt.Hubbard said the manner of sampling could have affected results. He suggested a complete cross section sample of the deposit, the grinding of such sample and the quartering of same in order to let each ‘assayer have the same composite sample. It was voted to hold the next meeting in Redding on ‘the evening of October 9th. Capt.

TOTTEN-MURDER TRIAL OPENS William Totten, charged with the MANY DEER THIS YEAR IN VICINITY. OF NEVADACITY Game Warden Earl Hiscox and Leland Smith, in charge of grazing ‘in the Tahoe National ‘Forest, agree that in this area composed mainly of . the three counties, Sierra, Nevada and Placer there are about 16,000 deer of both sexes and all ages. In Nevada County alone, Hiscox and Smith, accustomed to estimating deer population on a basis of counts in typical grazing areas, believe that there are this year about 8, vee i of deer. Hiscox declares that in the North murder of Harvey McVean July 25th near Hills Flat, just outside Grass ‘Valley, went on trial this morning. Totten pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity when he was arraigned. After shooting McVean, Totten. drove over to Nevada City and gave} himself up at the’ sheriff's office, surrendering his rifle to Deputy Sheriff Carl Larsen then on duty.

ANTELOPE HUNT IN MODOC OPENS SAN HWRANCISCO, Sept. 13.—On Saturday, 500 (California hunters opened the second antelope season in the state. Hunters checked in and out of checking stations maintained by the State Division of Fish and Game. These stations are located at Susanville, ‘Litchfield, Ravendale, . (Cedarville, Alturas and Bieber. Hach . hunter has been furnished with in-) formation on the care of the meat, and game wardens in these localities will assist hunters every way p0o6sible. Dunbar, of As reported by H. R. chief of the Bureau of Licenses, antelope hunting permits from among the 3653 applications, 379 replied and took out their license. Over 200 alternates were contacted before the remaining 121 permits were taken up. Among the first 500 names drawn, 55 were women: seh county resident returned her application, stating that her husband also. had drawn a permit and that one permit was plenty for their family-and that she would gladly give somebody else the opportunity to hunt. The youngest applicant to be issued a permit was ten years of age, son of a deputy sheriff of Alturas, Modoc County. Four hundred twenty one residents of Lassen County applied for permits; 62 were issued. San Franeisco had the next greatest number of applicants, 393; ed.

The mule deer in the winter jtime drift eastward to the desert : scountry of Nevada, while blacktails . ,or fallow deer drift westward to the foothill country of the Sierras. According to Hiscox there is considerable interbreeding of the two varieties. No figures of the number of: deer on the eastern slopes of the Sierras are available. The counts given. include them. Leland Smith states that from his observations he_ believes there are More deer in the Tahoe National (Forest tham for many years. thinks that this will be one of the best years for deer hunters in his experience.
