ORNIAThe Gold Center THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1942. Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. We do not believe that any sane person, whether in ‘business or not,-would-say that investment in modern ‘war yields any _ profits. Thumbing through the pages of history, there are probably cases where a little war did yield a large profit, for instance, Indian wars in this country which cleared large areas of comparatively small numbers of Indians, Such wars enabled white pioneers to live safely, put virgin land to productive use and build up a great country. Even then, it would probably have been cheaper to buy the land, as was often done, and let the settlers pay for it over a term of years. This is not offered as a de.fense.for.aggressive war upon the Indians, who fought with poor equipment and usually were out numbered, Morally there is no defense. From an economic standpoint, which does not always accord with the Golden Rule, it is merely observed that such wars paid diyidends while the earth still offered large areas of land with few inhabitants to those aggressors with superior weapons and powers of organization and discipline. We have called attention in this column to the geometric rise in the costs of war, comparing even the last world war with the one now raging. The cheapest war one in which the simplest weapons are employed and in which the warriors live off the land they conquer. In other words the soldiers become self supporting. Such a war was the kind Julius Caesar fought when he wrote of all Gaul being divided into three parts. That the Gauls lost parts 8f their is country, which they, in turn, had wrested from other tribes, goes without saying, but otherwise they were not greatly injured if they kept out of the way of the Roman eagles. For some centuries Caesar's wars. did pay dividends. In considering war and its costs, there is no v'ay of computing in terms of money the cost in human lives and misery, We believe that generally speaking ancient wars co8t more in human wreckage than they do now. There are three reasons for this. The hand weapons, swords, pikes, axes, spears, javelins ett. used in the hand-to-hand combat or at short range, produced, more fatalities in proportign to the number engaged in battle ,than do modern methods. Second, a larger percentage of the wounded died, owing to primitive medical care, which often consisted of charms and necromancy. And last, and perhaps the most tragic factor of all in oldtime wars, were the epidemics which raged, generally, without let or hindrance. But when human beings began to crowd the earth, especially the fertile parts of it, and modern invention and industry devised new peace time tools whitch could readily be converted into weapons, the cost of wars began to mount, as remarked, in geometric ratio. Total war means a war in which even children, women and the aged have their part. For every man on the firing line, at least eighteen persons must be employed behind the lines and in the various services that keep him in fighting trim. If we are to have a 7-million man army, and a two-ocean navy emmloying nearly a million more men, making a total of 8-million fighters, and eighteen others are employed back of the lines, for each soldier, sailor or flyer, we find the total is more than the 132-million ponulation of this country. However one factor which as yet does not seem fully to have been taken into account, is the machine, which gradually reduces the number of workers required and also the number of fighters. With a nation thus at total war with every man, woman and child. engaged in some capacity, it follows that the entire economic effort is enlisted. Even. food and clothing become munitions of war. The entire population is drawn into the vortex and the cost becomes the money value of national production of all kinds. It follows of course, that nations with the larger populations, the most natural resources, and the most developed industries, will be victors in the long run The United States, and its associates at the moment are taking it on the chin. But we doubt whether there is a military leader in any country, Axis or alFor Rough and ior Judge Arthur Coats of Sutter County, who presided because Judge George L. Jones of the local court had disqualified himself. After studying the preliminary hearing transcript and Howe’s statement admitting the slaying, Judge Coats fixed the crime at second degree murder. The defendant waived time for sentencing. Judge Coats would not accept a guilty plea to the second degree murder charge, stating such a plea s not permissible under the law. The jurist informed District Attorney Vernon Stoll and Defense Attorney Harry McKee he would accept a plea of guilty by the defendtions made to the court by the district attorney and counsel were true the evidence would no doubt show the offense to be second degree murder. On that basis) Howe was asked his plea. He replied: “Guilty as far as I know unless someone else had their fingers in in? By stipulation, the preliminary hearing transcript and the written statement of the defendant were admitted as evidence for consideration by Judge Coats. Judge Jones had disqualfied himself from acting at the hearing because he presided in the civil case . which resulted in the decision awarding Richlin title to Howe's alleged {ranch holdings. . Rienlin is declared to have com‘nleted the payments on the ranch after Howe had let his contract lapse. Howe, who had lived on the ‘place twenty five years, continued ‘o reside on the property after Judge Jqnes’ decision awarding Richlin . title to the land. On Sunday, Decemhber 28th, Richlin, who had heen . working at Mare Island, informed . Howe he must vacate, During the re‘sulting argument, Richlin was shot. . The slain man’s body was found . *he next day by his brother, Jack Richlin. Shortly thereafter, Howe was arrested in the Holbrooke Hotel in Grass Valley. In his statement admitting the shooting, Howe said he had intended to surrender to Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen but did not have bus fare to Nevada City.

Woods and Gum Chewing Is Effectively Curbed By Local School Teacher Gum chewing, source of annyance to school teachers, has been effectively handled and nearly stopped at the Nevada City Elementary School by Mrs, Elza Kilroy.

Such was the uncement of district superin{tendent of schools H. E, Kjorlie. . “In approaching this topic those of us who remember the last experience when sugar went to 26c_ per pound and eggs to 90 per dozen will probably be very much interested in what is being done during this emergency to prevent a recurrence of this situation,’’ recalled Kjorlie. “With this opportunity being presented for every merchant and his employee to learn from an authoritative source about the measures being developed to control the future of prices we are much more fortunate than business men were during the period 25 years ago when there were no facilities available of thle kind.” The meeting will be the fourth in the series of six being presented through the facilities of the. local evening high school and the California State Department of Education Business Bureau. They are under the direction of Frank Emery Cox, regional coordinator for the State Department of Education. Cox is a well known sales authority and business economist and has made a specjal study of wartime business trend in the field of merchandise and service distribution. His explanations of the topics considered are based upon authoritative information gathered from governmental agencies and reliable research bureaus from all over the country. “Inflation without some control,” stated Cox, ‘‘would almost neutralize our all-out war effort. We must understand what the danger is and what is eung done to control the situation. Byery business employee owes it to himself and his country to understand and cooperate."

She lost it last week, She stepped into her pantry during the morning and heard the wailing of a mouse. The mouse was in agony and Mrs, Odegaard has that terror of mice, common to women-.and elephants. but she did remove some cans on the shelf in front of the egg beater. There was the mouse with its tail securely wedged among the blades of the egg beater, The family cat heard the mouse and investigated at this moment. Mrs. Odegaard bravely unhooked the egg beater but her terror was 80 great she let it drop to the floor. The cat picked up the mouse and trailed the egg beater with it to the great outdoors, The finder may identify the egg beater by the wee tip of a mouses tail wedged among the blades, No reward.

There was the mouse with its tail securely wedged among the blades of the egg beater, The family cat heard the mouse and investigated at this moment.

The cat picked up the mouse and trailed the egg beater with it to the great outdoors, The finder may identify the egg beater by the wee tip of a mouses tail wedged among the blades, No reward.
