In our*democracy, we find and suffer this incongruity; a minority group or groups may say “‘if we cannot have what we want, when and where and how we want it, we will paralyze industry in large or smaller areas of the country; we may even call a nation wide strike and spread idleness and industrial loss and confusion from shore to shore.’’ There must be some remedy for this sorry state of affairs and it is to be hoped that senators and representatives will put on their thinking caps and find a wise solution to an unbearable situation. i Perhaps it is well.that industrial unrest manifests itself at this time; it may serve to remind us that our democracy is not entirely perfect, that it creaks in places and needs a number of adjustments. It may also convince us, that even if the war is over, our tasks are not finished.

Uncle Silas says: ““Those. pistol packing grandees over in Tokio need more target practice.

Washington officials are expressing concern over what appears to loom as the first major clash over peace time job rights involving the 15 million members of organized labor and the millions of veterans who are beginning to stream back into civilian life. The particular issue is the Knutson bill: now before congress, which would give veterans seniority credit for time spent an service, with time and a half for the sixth day of the week and double time for Sundays. The veterans of Foreign Wars is backing the measure; the American Legion agrees with its _principles—and organized labor is fighting it. Union workers on the home front piled up seniority rights and drew a lot of time and a half and double time pay while soldiers and sailors were fighting seven days a week on the pittance of military pay. Yet unthinking labor bosses seem determined to greet America’s service men on their home coming with a picket’s placard: “No Veterans Wanted!” If veterans need help in tearing down that sign, they can have it in overwhelming plenty in the public opinion of the American people. When American men and women left for war, they were assured not only of their job rights, but assured they would suffer no impairment or deprivation of any civilian rights while. they were away. . That assurance came from the American people as a natidn—and the people intend to make good that commitment. The selfish leaders in the labor movement who are attemping to short change America’s fighting men are doing labor itself rank injustice, and we believe the average man who wears a union button will be just as quick to react against that shabby treatment of returning war veterans as the public at large.— Contributed. GOVERNMENT’S BILLIONAIRES There are relatively few millionaires on the national scene these days. Present income tax rates put pretty drastic limitations on a man’s chances to accumulate even enough money to afford to retire. Money is still being made, to'be sure—lots of it. But it is siphoned off now from all incomes, large and ‘small, into the hands of a new class of bureaucratic billionaires. It is the most dangerous concentration of enormous wealth imaginable, since it may be irresponsibly used by men who had no hand in earning it, to the detriment of the sound_ est programs for the public good. An instance of this danger, which is of import to millions of Californians, was provided last week when the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation proposed ultimate evpenditure of one billion, eight hundred million dollars on the Central Valley project. The peril in such fantastic spending, if undertaken, is apone of the most useful and vital ever conceived in America. The project was planned, primarily’ to relieve the water .shortage in the central valleys, to facilitate flood control, and to produce hydro-electric power asa by-product to help defray the water costs. A sound plan. Yet only two years ago the ult-i mate cost was estimated at about 333 million dollars. Now this figure in bureaucratic minds is multiplied more than five fold—proposing nearly 400 million dollars for power development alone, when the state has so much ppwer already that electricity was not rationed even unler abnormal consumption of war time. es The financing of so huge an investment would put the price of water above the farmers ability to pay. The costs would convert.a device for the building of California agriculture and industry into a white elephnt of governmental folly. Here indeed is an example of the potential danger in our new, irresponsible, reckless class of spendthrifts—the government billionaires.—Contributed. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Modestly we boast of solving a mystery that has puzzled pundits: Why good old Bill Shakespeare's top spot in literature is so lasting (to the perennial misery of most high school kids who have to read him). We say it’s because the man was so eternally right. Formerly we figured Bill was off the beam sometimes, as when he opined that ‘‘a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,’ How could it smell as sweet if it were called a stinkweed>? How could a movie queen bear the name of Tina Glotzenhopper, say; without impairment of her glamor. 2? We thought Bill nuts on that point, until we began following a political issue that’s quite hot, because it affects a lot of Californians. It began when the American’ railroads which have operatedvhalf a century under Interstate Commerce Commission regulation, were charged suddenly with anti trust law violation by the Department of Justice for procedures to which . the ICC had no objection whatever. At this juncture, with railroad managements the hapless victims of a jurisdictional feud between federal gencies, a congressman intrduced a bill to rip out the red tape by designating the ICC the sole regulatory power over the carriers. Well, it’s a sensible bill, obviously and should pass. But was it introduced by some guy with a statesmanlike name— something like John Quincy Jefferson or Monroe Hamilton? Nope! The man’s name is Bulwinkle! Yet he’s fought so ably for his Bulwinkle bill, and enlisted such apparently winning support, that railroad men and rail shippers probably think Bulwinkle should be set to music. It wouldn't surprise us (seems the least they could do) if the railrroads should name some crack streamliner the Bulwinkle Blazer—and if that train’s star passenger on its maiden trip, would be Tina Gloztenhopper’ glamor girl of the screen. Don't ever sell that man Shakespeare short. That guy’s always right !—Contributed. THE NEW RATIONING With rationing controls either ended or preparing to end on gasoline, shoes, canned goods, cheese—and finally-on beef; pork and lamb, the end of the year promises to open the lock on the war forged fetters that kept civilian consumers in line during the emergency. The rationing news is good. And so it is all _ the’ more paradoxical that the OUA, while proclaiming the comparative return of plenty, has set a new, universal rule of retail “‘rationing’ that must, in many lines of consumer goods, adversely affect millions of customers and hundreds of thousands of merchants. This is the unaccountable edict that\retail prices must be held to the 1942 level, while manufacturers may mark up their prices to retailers in whatever degree is necessary to meet demands for higher wages and rising post war production costs. This, bluntly, is a form of rationing enforced with a club of authority. If a retailer sold a popular line of shoes in 1942 at $5 a pair, he must sell them at $5 today, though they cost him so much more he must sell them at a loss. If he wants to stay in business, those shoes must be eliminated from his stock and obviously denied custimers. Protests against this businesswrecking form of “‘rationing”’ goods off the merchant's shelves and consequently off the barket, sprung up everywhere. However much a prospective purchaser may want a commodity, if the storekeeper can’t sell it’ a buyer can't buy it. The cramped economy of war time has no place in the post war period where goods must be sold, business must be done, high production must be maintained and jobs must be secured for millions.—Contributed.

Liu Liang Mo, who was for three years a morale officer-in-the Chinese army, described the system at a press conference in the office of the California War Chest. Iiu is now on a speaking tour on behalf of United China Relief, one of the agencies supported by the War Chest campaign which starts October ‘1st. As a morale officer, Liu and his group in addition talked to and gradually convinced a considerable number *of Japanese prisoners that the war had been the result*of machinations of war lords, that the Japanese people themselves were suffering, that eventnally the entire world would be against Japan and the Japs were therefore fighting a hopeless parent to everyone familiar with the history of the project— ‘war. The Jap prisoners then broadown special field, is seeking to relieve the suffering of these millions. Californians are making their contribution to this work through the California War Chest and the National War Fund. Liu emphasized that the chest’s $22,000,000 goal encompasses, besides China relief, the needs of American service men at home and abroad through USO, the needs ‘of other foreign war victims, and the needs of California communities through their own local agencies. ACCUSED OF BURBLARY Frank Hassintine and Buck Moore accused of entering the room of George Crosby, realty broker, and takin'g six suits of clothes, were’ held to answer following their preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace George Gildersleeve. PEPPER STILL SCARCE Here are a few facts about food supplies. Pepper will continue scarce until we know the condition of stocks in the far east—the source of 98 per cent of our oormal supply. None has been imported from the Dutch East Indies or British Malaya since 1842. There will be more canned fish this year for civilians than we’ve had since 1942. Reduced military requirements make the increase possible. A bumper crop of almonds will provide . housewives with plentiful supplies . of this nut. Walnuts and pecans won't. come on the market until later in the fall. California leads all states in turkey production this year with 4,492,000 birds, followed by Texas at. 4,701,000 and Minnesota at 4,176, . 000. California increased her 1945 . turkey crop by 25 per cent above the . 1944 crop. Australia’s 1944 cane sugar crop} was only 736,000 tons because of fertilizer and labor shortage.
