= Nevada City Nugget 805 Broad Street. Phone 36. A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City. e Editor and Lue.-‘ H. M. LEETE < . Published Semi-Weekly, Monday ana luau:sd.y» at Nevada City, California, and entered a3 Mx matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) -..---.-.---.--------------$3.00 30 cents One Month WESTERN DEFENSE COMMANDER California liked Lieutenant-General' John L. DeWitt. who has just been transferred from the Western Defense Com“mand to head the Army War College in Washington. It. liked the head-on way in which he met problems of defense, parti‘cularly his transfer of the Japanese out of this combat area, ahd was sorry to see him go. The public's natural concern over the choice’ of DeWitt’s successor to this important post has been largely dissipated by the first public statement made by Lieutenant-General Delos C. Emmons, who now has assumed this command. General Emmons reassured California on the Japanese problem, uppermost in the public mirid. He made it clear that the exclusion policy instituted by DeWitt would not be softened by him. © And while it is apparent the War Relocation Authority still is moving the “loyal” Japs back to the West Coast as they see fit, Emmons, it appears, is as firmly against the policy as was DeWitt. ern defense organization, the new’ commanding officer indicated there would be some changes, that the basic policy of “hands off civilian affairs’ will be followed, and the midnight curfew and dimout regulations would be eased. While the danger of enemy attack on the coast is still here and must ‘be guarded against. he declared the radio detection system is now complete and that the need for aircraft spotters and such civil‘jan adjuncts to the military set-up is largely removed. Even though the danger of enemy attack here is now considered remote, a strong and seasoned military man must certainly head this important command. At this post. General DeWitt met the heavy obligation of directing West Coast defenses in the crucial early months of the war, and it was during his command that the Japanese invader was hurled out of his foothold in the Aleutians. _ Now that our friend General DeWitt is transferred to a new post, we are glad his place is filled with another who seems to talk California's language. PUBLIC PAYROLL MUST BE WATCHED To take care of its state business, California maintains a total of 30,850 people on the public payroll. Federal government goes to town with more than 232,000 employes within the boundaries of the state! No breakdown of the federal figure is available to indicate how many employes of the U. S. government are engaged in war-created jobs and how many in routine peace-time functions. But it is obvious that the number doing non-war tasks bulks much larger than the total on the state's payroll. r One clue to the breakdown is seen, in statistics recently released by the tax department of the State Chamber of Commerce, revealing that for the first time California’s annual tax bill has run over two billion dollars! The federal government took the biggest bite of the total $2,226,925,000 collection for the fiscal year 1942-43, its share amounting to $1,411,327,000. State taxes came next with $490,598,000, and local property taxes, collected by the counties, cities, school districts and special districts, were $325,000,000. Two-thirds of the huge amount taken by the federal government “represented a direct contribution to financing the war,” according to the chamber’s tax study. Nobody expects that because this is the case the federal. tax bill will be reduced two-thirds at the close of the war. But it is reasonable to anticipate that one of the largest reductions to be made will be —" field of federal office workers occupied in war-born jobs. : : . + The tendency, after the last war, was to continue warcreated offices, bureaus and jobs indefinitely—which may be natural enough, but is mighty poor economy for the taxpayer. When peace comes, the faster private business is able to ‘absorb the hundreds of thousands of such employes in this state and every other, the faster the over-all tax burden will lighten on the average man’s shoulders. — SEVEN OCEAN NAVY sa _ The United States Navy Departmént is well along to fulfillment of its goal of a seven ocean navy. The fleet today, in _ the Navy's own words, is the “mightiest in world history.” _ while its air arms is “the most powerful naval air force in exRiding the waters of the world are 14,072 American _% Fulfillment of the expressed desires and wishes of sor# rowing family members is one of our greatest endeavors $= —for we well realize the reflective comfort, the accomp. lishment of these small details give in days and months the factors contributing to the success of our NCE SERVICE AT REASONABLE PRIO execution of detail, in matters both large or small, ; Funeral 2 SERVICE” es acon On matters concerning civilian participation in the west. i (Ration points on butter will advance Sunday. UNLEASHED There’s a .column-of smo'e in the distance, ' Smirching the summer sky, Sirens are screaming wildly, Fire trucks are roaring by; Innocent woodland creatures § -, _ eke Are fleeing in pain and dread, While black clouds billow upward. And darken the sky overhead. Devouring flames sweep onward Where begrimed and exhausted men Recoil from the fiend’s advances Then turn and fight on again. She flaunts them with crackling laughter As they shrink from her acrid breath— Her ways are the ways of destruction Her paths are the paths of death. In a sudden access of fury, She hur!s her brands through the air, They fall in the wooded canyons And spot fires are kindled there. She leaps to a stand of timber And, “‘she crowns!”’ is the frenzied cry, ‘Run! run for your lives men, To linger now is to die!” Grim days and nights of horror, Then she dies as fire fiends die, Licking the ghastly wreckage Left when she thundered by; And the blackened hills and canyons “And the stark, dead forests tell, Of the wealth of life and beauty That died in the fire fiend’s-hell. ‘ Was the fire fiend unleashed in her fury And her course of destruction set, When a spark fell into the dry, brown grass From your lighted cigarette? —A. Merriam Conner. Naval vessels, 613 of which are war ships. Only three years ago 1076 ships were in commission, including but 383 fighting craft. . ‘No naval construction program of comparable size and speed’ the Navy says, “has ever been accomplished by any other nation. It makes feasible a strategy of attack, with all the risks it implies. Ability to build—or if necessary, to rebuild—on this scale is one of the basic advantages which the American Navy holds over fleets of all other nations.” The ‘construction figures show that the Navy is, indeed, basing its program on a ‘“‘strategy of attack.’”” The newest ships include 12,964 landing craft, the vital tool of offensive amphibious operations. In the air the Navy lists 18,000 planes of, all types, as compared with 1744 three years ago. But the increase of strength and power is not to be found only in the figures. “New navy fighter planes,” the Navy: says, ‘fire in one minute five times the weight of projectiles that their 1940 predecessors fired!” These figures are an important progress report on construction thus far. They are intended to give America an idea of what this nation has accomplished and intends to accomplish. And they convey a message to the enemy—a miessage written by free men, working under a system of free enterprise, that they are determined to preserve their system against tyranny in every form.
