Question——What are the underlying causes of the present economic
é i ial. si ion ?/
oa pesca ne of idle capital in saving banks, bonds, safe deposit
boxes. Closed plants and curtailed production in the specced industries.
Question—Why is capital idle—plant closing or curtailment neces4c i ‘
TO deat acon is sick. It has had too many rabbit punches in the
form of governmental restrictions, taxation of sige patel Pomel Punches
like the Wagner bill and the administration’s wih Saat of eeliém.
Question—Why are more unemployed today than ever before? :
Answer—tThis has been partly answered. The other causes are high
wages and high commodity prices, high taxes, high rents, ‘governmental
competition with private business. :
Question—Would a return to the wages and prices of 1900 increase
?
TT aeehaa less than six months every man and woman would be
employed with the exception of those incompetent and inefficient. In 1900
the United States, then having a population of 76 million, exported 600
million days work to foreign countries, equivalent to a years work to one
man out of every fourteen (between the ages of 20 and 60) while in'1937
the United States, with a population of 130 million exported only 320
million days work to foreign countries, a years work to one man out of
every forty four. In 1900 less than a million people, were living on relief
(then called charity). In 1937 over 35 million people received aid in some
form from public charity (now called relief). We have come a long way
in 37 years haven’t we? ‘
Question—How about imports from foreign countries?
Answer—In 1937 we imported two days of foreign labor to every one
day in 1900, : ae
Question—How would low wages and low prices be beneficial outside
of increasing our foreign trade? ;
Answer—It would establish real values in the place of false values.
An equal distribution of wages would establish uniform commodity values.
Why should one article cost $3.00 and another article $1.00 because the
wages of one group of workers is three times the wages of another.
This is neither fair to the workingman or the public. Why should a
hod carrier receive $11.00 for 8 hours while another man works equally
hard and longer hours on a ranch for a dollar a day and his board. If the
hod carrier received $2.00 a day as he did in 1900, and other labor was in
proportion, good homes could be built for $1500.00 as they were then. If
ranch laborers were paid $11.00 a day prunes would tbe about ten cents
apiece.
~ Question—If the status of 1900 were restored could the workingman
live as well on $3.00 a day as he can now on $6.00?

Who came in eager, restless bands

I wonder at the courage, fortitude and energy with which
the California pioneers conquered and made habitable the last
defiant frontiers.
It seems strange that so many are asking, “what manner
of men were these>’’ But this is the case. In catering to a sensation-loving public, writers of fiction, drama and psuedo-history, have peopled the old camps almost exclusively with
gamblers, horse thieves, two-gun terrorists, et al; this is unfair and misleading.
To be sure there were “Rip Roaring F orty Niners,” and
sometimes they stole the show; but around the Horn, over the
Great Divide and across the tawny plains, came pioneers of
a distinctly different type; men and women of breeding from
fine American homes—men and women of high ideals and
worthy aspirations, who carried in their hearts dreams for
which they were prepared to toil energetically and! sacrifice
much. Under the influence of these people, each little camp
became decent and safe for its inhabitants’ the rule of justice
was established, respect for law and order enforced, homes,
_school houses and churches were builded, and the towns and
cities whose privileges and attractions we now enjoy were
founded.
We, the descendants of California pioneers and all earnest students of early day history are acquainted with the facts,
_ but sensation mongers continue to write glamorously of black
bearded, red shirted ruffians and their hair raising exploits,
_ and those who merely read and run are greatly thrilled and
deceived all at the same time.

law-abiding ‘pioneers? There must be many ways, but . suggest a float in our next Forty Niner parade upon _which a
