Here's the Philosophy

One of the best expositions of the E'rankfurter- -Brandeis philosophy is in the speech of Senator Burton k. Wheeler (you'll find 1t in the Con gressional Record of Feb. 19, 1935) on his proposal to do exactly what Roosevelt now urges--tax corpora tions in, accordance with size, to "tax hte bigness of things" as Wheeler expressed 1t. At the same time 1t was supposed Wheeler was just another radical" with an- other radical idea and that Roose. velt's attack on holding companies which operate in every great in- dustry--would be confined to ex- precision of his antipathy toward the power trust".
 It's important for you to have this summary: Of 100000 non-h- nancial corporations in the United States (the figures are those of New Dealers A. A. Berie and Gardner Means) the 200 largest, including 42 railroads, 52 public utilities and 10e industrials controlled practl- cally half the country's total cor- porate wealth of $18b, 100. 900.
 If the 1924-29 rate of concentra- ton continued, S5 per cent of the national corporate wealth would be held by this group by 1850.
 Back to Democracy
 A few hundred men exert ulti- mate control. Certain social and economic evils are inherent in size Itself. Concentration of economic power involves private decisions vital to the economic welfare which mustn't be left to Q few. Bureaucracy, nepotism and ineffi- ciency characterize super-industry. Such corporations must bc broken into smaller units. Tho small bus. mess man may then re-establish himself in an era of real competi- ton and real industrial democracy, Concentrated power will no longer enforce policies, in depression, of reducing production and employ ment instead of prices.
 Tho alternative is a course lead ing to further centralisation and responsibility under federal gov ernment.

Gold and the Mexican War.
"Gold and the Mexican war made
California a part Of the United
States. Not long after the declara-
tion of war on Mexico, American
forces in California hOisted the
limited States flag, and the area
was formally ceded to this country
on February ?, 1S4S, under the
treaty of peace. Mexico also ceded
territory that now includes Nevada,
Utah. Arizona, New Mexico, and
mart of Colorado, receiving in re.
turn a cash payment of S16,295, ZOO.
"Only a few days before Califor-
nit was ceded to the United States,
James w. Marshall had made his
famous discovery of gold at SUIT
ter's mill on the American river
near Coloma. In a few weeks the
California gold rush was on. BY
the end Of 1S49 it is estimated that
10000 men had fiocked to Califor-
MIA. The large majority of them
were Americans, and the territory
became American in fact as well as
in name.
Meanwhile the slavery question
was coming to the fore. The Union
had a balance of Is slave states and
10 free. When California began
preparing to seek statehood. there
were strong efforts to make it
slave state, but when its cOnstitu-
tion was framed slavery was pro-
hibited. California was admitted to
the Union September 8, 1850.

otherwise.
Never leave a gun in such a posi-
tion that dog or companion may
accidentally discharge it.
Unload your gun before depart
ing from the hunt.
The safe method of going
through a barbed wire fence is to
place the gun through first, muz-
zle to the front. When this has
been accomplished the hunter
should then go through or under
and pick up his gun.
Never fire at any moving object
until you are able to determine ex-
actly what it is.
When returning home place your
gun where small children are un-
able to reach it.
Guns transported in automobiles
should be taken apart. If, how
ever, they are not, extreme eau
tion should be used to make sure
that when the guns are taken from
the car they are taken butt first
instead of the customary method
of barrel first" If the barrel is
taken out first, it is generally
grasped in the right hand and
when held in this manner is point
ed directly at the person removing
it.
Shells should not be placed in the
gun, until immediate action is an
ticipated. The safety should be
kept in safe position until the

The safest way to cary a gun
while hunting is at the high port.
In this position the gunner has

Terror Drive Is Aimed
At l8 Defendants
Now On Trial
By Michael Quinn
Especial TO the Daily Worker

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Jan. 20
The frame-up trial of the eighteen
worker defendants here, charged
with criminal syndicalism, entered
its third day Saturday against a
background Of monstrous police in
element against the working class,
and the public drilling of armed
bands of vigilantes to prevent the
holding Of an unemployed insurance
Congress here on Feb. 2, and to bar
the entry into the city Of delega-
tons sent by workers in other cities
in expression of their solidarity with
the defendants.
The drilling and arming Of the
vigilante bands has the official en-
dorsement Of city authorities, and
City Manager James Dean has been
appointed an ex-oflcio captain Of
the police, with extraordinary pow
ers to recruit his own private army
against the working class. Over 500
business men have been sworn in as
special deputies.
Yesterday the prosecution con-
tinued reading fragments from
pamphlets seized in the vigilante-
police raids on the Workers Book
Shop last summer, or furnished by
Captain Hines of the notorious Los
Angeles Red Squad. Special stress
was laid by special prosecutor Nc
Allister on the Communist position
on the Negro question and inter-
marriage in the hope of prejudice
ing the jury against the defendants.
A Hearst reporter frequently con-
ferred with the prosecution, passing
up notes several times.
The prosecution introduced into
the evidence many pamphlets which
the defendants denied we're in the
Workers Book Shop at the time OF
the raid, including even publications
of the Communist Labor Party"
Leo Gallagher, International La
Dor Defense attorney, protesting
against the introduction of extra
neous evidence, charged the court
with attempting to place the whole
theory of Communism on trial, with
prosecution of the defendants incl
dental to the development Of an
attack on the whole working class,

Preparations for the imperialist
seizure of Chahar, and thereafter
Dolon Nor and North China, were
continued today by the Japanese
military mission in Manchuria with
the presentation of an ultimatum to
the Chinese governor of Chahar.
Governor Sung, the note threat
ened, must Withdraw his troops or

Reports from Tokyo announce
the usual excuses of the Japanese
War Office before committing
wholesale murder and destruc-
ton in new Chinese areas. Saying
that the North China government
was not involved, the War Office
raised the regular excuse of ban
dit invasions' and the oft-broken
promise not to advance beyond
the Great Wall.
The impending slaughter and
outrage upon the Chinese people is
causing intense agitation through
out the country, situation which
the traitorous Nationalist Govern
ment of China is attempting to
calm, in order the more easily to
capitulate to the Japanese imperial
lists.
