The real nub of the question confronting voters in November's election is this: Shall we permit any Political party in power to attempt to buy the election with the tax payers money? Money spent fot kelief is tax payer’s money. Under ‘the various alphabetical bureaus 240,000 new office holders have ae" employed, to administer var$s forms of relief for upwards of ‘$3 0 D0, 000° persons. It is a considerable army that will march to the polls to vote, 75 to 80 per’ cent. of them, for President Roosevelt. Why will this relief army, captained by a great corps of brass hats whose salaries range upward to $10,000 a year, vote for Roosevelt? ‘Because they are fearful that Governor Landon, if elected’ President, will shut off relief completely. Why are they fearful? Because Democratic leaders such as Senator McAdoo are ‘constantly warning them that unless. they vote the Democratic ticket this will happen to them. The truth is that Governor Landon in his speech in Portland, Maine, two weeks ago, said: ‘Relief will be given those who need it, but waste must go.’’ Never before in American ‘history has any party so openly and shamelessly traded in human misery as the so-called Democratic party today is doing. We say, so-called Democratic party, because this is an administra_tion which retains the name but re “jects the tenets of the party. eh a no more like the party of Woodrow Wilson or of Grover Cleveland ‘than a monkey is like a man.

The County Seat Paper Pica sli RAS mnt ORN “ The Gold Center MONDAY, ” SEPTEMBER 28, 1936 Nine fires large and small kept the Forest Service busy Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Forest Service had 500 men, all told, fighting fire and State Ranger Bill Sharp had another hundred engaged in halting forest conflagrations. The airport fire, which blazed up fiercely nearly all day. yesterday, according to Forégt’Supervisor DeWitt Nelson was the only fire of the nine, that could be said to be unpreventable. That was caused by a fire in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hutton, while the couple were in church. It destroyed their house and contents and ‘the fire running through the woods burned over about 70 acres. The Indian Flat fire, starting with a broken power line near the Ragon mine, ranged over 3500 acres, destroying a splendid stand of young timber and much _ pasture land. Nearly 200 men were employed, 150 of them CCC boys and Forest Se1vice staff men, and 40 to 50 employed by State Ranger Sharp. The damage done has not yet been estimated Supervisor Nelson states, but it will run into important money. The stands of timber were being marketed. for poles and mining uses, and represented a considerable revenue date in 1952 he promised to cut govt. He has i ernment costs by 25 per cen . } increased them 72 per cent. In Jan: } uary, 1934 he promised to balance the budget in 1986. He is now promising, if elected, to balance the bud-. get in 1938. Three successive years . he promised no more increases in taxees. But the first two promises were not kept. iS Berne third statement made early in August, perhaps, was not a promise. He said: ‘‘No new taxes are contemplated.”’ But if he is elected resident in November, Postmaster grand almoner for the Roosevelt administratijon, will undoubtedly wish to reward all those on relief by continuing the present ruinous relief system indefinitely. : ; The last treasury statement shows tax receipts are now ten per cent higher than they were for the same period ‘last year. But total expenditures are still almost two dollars for every dollar of receipts. At the end of June the total national debt (a mortgage on our earnings and property, reached the all time high of. $33,779,900,000. It should be clear, despite what the President airily does not ‘‘contemplate,” that ultimately it will be necessary in order to balance the budget to levy sufficient taxes to raise one dollar, now received in taxes, to make it match the two dollars outgo. But the administration at Washington is soft pedally all tax methemathics for the The states that are normally Republican are swinging back into the Republican column, according to the Literary Digest poll. Such states as Maine, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey are very definitely pro-Landon, and _ even California, which has of late years been debated ground for either party, is now, according to the poll of the Literary Digest, lining up with those states which send large delegations to the electoral college. It any. definite conclusions, but the present trend reveals a rising Landon tide. It is not Roosevelt’s humanitarianism that the people object to, it is his prodigality with the tax payer’s money, and the deft use of, it made by Jim Farley to pronigte Roosevelt’s political fortunes. ATTEND COUNCIL MEETING Builders Supply House motored to Oakland Saturday and as a delegate of the Grass Valley Canadian Legjon Post, attended the northern area council Sunday.

Indian Flat fire.was well under. con. trol, but a number of ranchers started back firing. Their fires got away, and the fire fighters had all thet work to do over again. Thefire at Lowell across Bear river from Dutch Flat was, the only incendiary fire of the nine. The woods fere fired in three: places. The fire burned over 250 acres and 100 men were engaged in putting it out. : At Grizzly Creek a hunter smoker started a fire which burned over four acres ‘before it was controlled. Another. careless smoker started the fire at Remington Hill which was corraled after it. had burned three acres. : ; On Yuba Pass two fires were started by careless hunters. These were close together and burned over Shes i accl}Six Hundred Men Battle Nine Forest Fi ires In This Area only ten acres before the forest service halted them. One acre was hurned wood Creek. The fire that sprang up near Colfax in state territory is now being patrolled by 11 men of the forest service. In all these fires the CCC enrollies played a major and gallant part. They were brought from camps in Fallon, Oreana, Reno in Nevada, from the Tahoe-Ukiah camp; from Camp Bradley near Forest Hill, and wherever they were assigned they fought hard and industriously in clearing fire breaks, back firing, or in whatever strategy was determined upon. Men from the,state park camps at Rubicon Point and Churchill also were called into action. The branch forest service camps at Camptonville, Downieville and Sierraville were for the first time taxed to their utmost. Their value was tested and proved. As witness to their value is the fact that all the fires in their immediate territory, were stopped before they had burned over more than a few_acres. Declared Supervisor Nelson _ this morning: “One of the fires was incendiary. But with the exception of the fire on Cement Hill around the in Cottonairport, seven of these fires were.— caused by human carelessness.”’ The raging fire on Cement Hill yesterday was spread from the burniing home. of Mr. and. Mrs. Frank, Hutton. It is stated an electric range and frigidaire had just been installed Saturday and Mr. and Mrs. Hutton went to the Mettodist chureh in the forenoon. WHen Mrs. Orzalli drove by the house and ‘saw dense smoke issuing from the dining room she tried to arouse someone and. spread the alarm to neighbors but received no response. The fire spread to timberland the rear before the house was half burned. It raced toward the airport and threatened many homes in the neighborhood. Mrs. Hutton had been quite ill and this was her first trip from home in some time. The shock of the news caused her to faint dropping to the sidewalk. She was earried into Rev. H. Buckner’s home.

Conner on Saturday, after consulting with the directors of the local chamber of which he is the head, dispatched the following teleram to the President: Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, President: of the United Stater.” Washington, D. C. Although’ removed some distance from San Francisco and other Pacific shore lines we are in profound sympathy with all interests of California.

Several little: friends were present for a happy time at the cosy ROAD HOG CAUSES ACCIDENT SUNDAY of Mr. Al O’Brien -and_ family Downieville were returning home from a trip to the lower’ country Sunday afternoon at about four o’clock when their car was struck by a big rotary oil truck allegedly on the wrong side of the road at. the South Yuba bridge. It is claimed that if it had not been for another ear following closely behind them the O’Brien car would have _ been forced off the road and down a 100 foot embankment. As it was the car was badly smashed. Their little, six year old son received severe cuts about his face. Mr. O’Brien and son were brought to the office of Dr. David Reeder in Nevada City where the child received.treatment. Mr. O’Brien remained with his car, coming to Nevada City about 7 o'clock. He spent some time trying to locate his family. Rev. H. H. Buckner Had seen the wreck and recognizing them as friends went to the office of Dr. Reeder and invited them to stay at the parsonage. When Mr. O’Brien did not come in Rev. Buckner drove to the wreck, when he returned it was getting dark so he enlisted the aid of Dr.Reeder. They looked about Nevada City ana stepped into the city hall to notify the sheriff. They learned that Mr. O’Brien had just stepped out to the sidewalk after making inquiries. for his family The family spent the night at the parsonage, returning to their home today.

P.T.A. and The Parent Teachers Association on Friday passed a strong resolution protesting against the establishment of a roulette wheel business in Nevada City and called on the city council to reject the proposal. Friday evening the auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars also passed a strong resolution against this illegal enterprise. The Parent Teachers association and the auxiliary are the third and fourth women’s: organizations’ to protest the establishment of this business in Nevada City by passing resolutions condemning it. The first was the Woman’s Civic Improvement club, and the second was the Ladies Aid Society of the Methodist. church. It is reported that a large delegation of women will be present next Thursday evening on the occasion of the regular monthly meeting of the city council to make a vocal protest against permitting a roulette wheel to be operated here.

Mr. Warren is a resident of Awburn and is actively engaged in the supervision of a placer mine in Sierra county. Mr. Warren has arrived at his conclusions after years of clese observation: and intensive study of current trends and events the world over. In a recent interview he said: “There will be no reduction in the value of mined gold. The price of gold is a world wide price dependent upon the attitude toward it of the great industrial nations, but mostly upon the joint attitude of the United States and England. France must take the same attitude, in time. On September 24 the bank of -France was forced to raise its discount rate from 3 per cent to 5 per cent to protect gold supply.

THIEVES ROB ALPHA STORE OF GUNS, SHELLS Alpha such ing Thieves ee saa Pay into the Store in this city some time last night and took about tén guns; all. high powered, large and small ealibres, ammunition, powerful telescopes, hunting knives, watches and flash lights. They evidently broke into the building through the rear, pulling the door out far enough to force the lock and left the door open as they left. Sheriff Carl Tobiassen “was notified at once and made an examination of the store and took finger prints. Mr. Ray Murchie stated he was in the store at five o’clock last evening and everything v was in place then. It is stated a robbery of the same nature took place in Portola two or three night ago. .

While immedate return to a basis of money exchangable into gold would not be-possible without he coneurrence of the great industrial nations, that will come in time. In. the meantime the price of gold will remain close to $35 per ounce. “The attitude of politicians on this matter unfortunate, because the political arguments are based largely on mis-statement of the facts. One such mis-statement is the claim that the present Federal. Administration gave us thirty five dollar gold on its own initiative. It did not. In 1933 England, having gone off the gold standard, by its offer to purchase in the open market sent the price of gold up and up to induce a flow of the. metal to England, where it was badly needed. The United States was on the gold standard, but it was readily seen that our gold could not remain here at a_value of $20.67 when the American holder of gold or the producer could get $35 for it in England. By various methods, open and wnder ground gold was exported to England until the loss of our supply became a menace. It was then that our government was forced to raise its price to $35 by devaluing the dollar. This has not had effect on the buying power of the individual—my buying power for mining supplies and wages is the same as before. “The world wikeay of gold is not now, and never has been, sufficient to provide a sound gold basis for all nations.

Friday evening the auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars also passed a strong resolution against this illegal enterprise. The Parent Teachers association and the auxiliary are the third and fourth women’s: organizations’ to protest the establishment of this business in Nevada City by passing resolutions condemning it. The first was the Woman’s Civic Improvement club, and the second was the Ladies Aid Society of the Methodist. church. It is reported that a large delegation of women will be present next Thursday evening on the occasion of the regular monthly meeting of the city council to make a vocal protest against permitting a roulette wheel to be operated here.

W. Gambling Invasion Auxiliary Condemn ENGINEER SAYS GOLD PRICE WILL NOT BE REDUCED Mr. Van Court Warren, consulting geologist and mining engineer, has made a study of the probabilities of the gold price for the next decade, as indicated by world tendencies as well as by American National policy. Mr. Warren is a resident of Awburn and is actively engaged in the supervision of a placer mine in Sierra county. Mr. Warren has arrived at his conclusions after years of clese observation: and intensive study of current trends and events the world over. In a recent interview he said: “There will be no reduction in the value of mined gold. The price of gold is a world wide price dependent upon the attitude toward it of the great industrial nations, but mostly upon the joint attitude of the United States and England. France must take the same attitude, in time. On September 24 the bank of -France was forced to raise its discount rate from 3 per cent to 5 per cent to protect gold supply. Very soon it will obliged to off the gold standard and, if it would survive as be 20 duct and standards ofa well regulated city; ; : THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED . that we pass this resolution protest-. ing the issuing of a license for a purpose and appeal to the governing body of the City of Nevada to reject the application hereinabove referred to.

THIEVES ROB ALPHA STORE OF GUNS, SHELLS Alpha such ing Thieves ee saa Pay into the Store in this city some time last night and took about tén guns; all. high powered, large and small ealibres, ammunition, powerful telescopes, hunting knives, watches and flash lights. They evidently broke into the building through the rear, pulling the door out far enough to force the lock and left the door open as they left. Sheriff Carl Tobiassen “was notified at once and made an examination of the store and took finger prints. Mr. Ray Murchie stated he was in the store at five o’clock last evening and everything v was in place then. It is stated a robbery of the same nature took place in Portola two or three night ago. . This store was “robbed three times. of rifles and . ammunition during. 1 an-industrial nation, it will be-obligmonéy on a parity with and England. That mean stabilization, of the value pound, ,the dollar and the and that value will be the present price of,gold. No one of these nations‘nor all of them could afford to stabilize an:a cheaper value for it would inevitably mean world financial chaos.

While immedate return to a basis of money exchangable into gold would not be-possible without he coneurrence of the great industrial nations, that will come in time. In. the meantime the price of gold will remain close to $35 per ounce. “The attitude of politicians on this matter unfortunate, because the political arguments are based largely on mis-statement of the facts. One such mis-statement is the claim that the present Federal. Administration gave us thirty five dollar gold on its own initiative. It did not. In 1933 England, having gone off the gold standard, by its offer to purchase in the open market sent the price of gold up and up to induce a flow of the. metal to England, where it was badly needed. The United States was on the gold standard, but it was readily seen that our gold could not remain here at a_value of $20.67 when the American holder of gold or the producer could get $35 for it in England. By various methods, open and wnder ground gold was exported to England until the loss of our supply became a menace. It was then that our government was forced to raise its price to $35 by devaluing the dollar. This has not had effect on the buying power of the individual—my buying power for mining supplies and wages is the same as before. “The world wikeay of gold is not now, and never has been, sufficient to provide a sound gold basis for all nations. When _ stabilization comes the demand will be great enough not only to maintain the present price, but possibly to raise it materially.’’ is thieves were apprehended each time and all:plunder recovered.
