$13,214 HERE FOR
TOBACCO GROWERS
263 Planters To Share in
Parity Distribution U,n-
der the Old AAA

Checks aggregating $13,214 were re-
ceived today at the office of County
Agent J. w. Sanders, director of crop
control activities for the county, to be
distributed to tobacco growers in
Vance county as a final parity or adj
justment payment for participation in
the tobacco control program under
the old Agricultural Adjustment Adj
ministration. A total of 263 growers
will share in the distribution.
This money represents the final
payment and covers all growers en-
titled to payment with the exception
Of a few whose claims were late IN
being presented or required some adj
justments of one kind or another, and
all of these combined are only little
more than a dozen, Mr.. Sanders said.
The county agent said the average
of the checks would be 1924, ranging
from as low as SIS or Sc to $43O as the
highest.
With the exception of few stray
Cling items, all adjustment payments
for cotton growers have long since
been distributed in this county, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sanders. This batch of
checks virtually cleans out the crop
control activity under the old AAA
for all claims.

WHAT A BUM BLOCKADE
DOES FOR CALIFORNIA

Police Chief James E. Davis of Los
Angeles, speaking here last week, cited
some startling figures showing the cost
to the citizens of California of unre-
stricted travel into the state by INDECENT
transients. The only available baro-
meters were cited by the chief: the
drop in crime during last years hobo
blockade and the criminal records trac-
ed to those who were stopped at the
states borders. Far more than half OF
the states crime is committed by the
class which would be barred by state
border patrol.
In round figures. crimes committed
bv INDECENT transients cost Californians
between S15,000,000 and $20,00O,O0O
year. This includes property loss, cost
of protection by the law, court costs
and the cost of housing convicted GRIM
inals who should not have been allowed
to enter California in the first place.
The problem is an extremely difficult
one to handle No one can deny the
right of a free individual the consti-
tuition to move from place to place as
he sees fit On the other hand, the con-
stitution was written for the benefit OF
society as a whole. Anyone at all ac-
quainted with the facts cannot deny
that the social structure of California
inal transients and undesirable visitors
were barred from the state. Only II
they are legally recognized as undesir-
ables, whose presence is menace to
society can the transients be kept out
effectively.
In most cases it would be far better
if the transients remained in their
homes where they are known and where
their chances of finding employment
if they wish employment-are far bet
ter. In this way, the proposed border
patrol is demonstrated as a benefit to
the citizens of California and in many
cases benefit to the transients them
selves.
California at present carries a great
er relief load than any other state,
largely because of the number of pennl-
less persons attracted to this state by
stories of climate and opportunity.
They do not form a desirable popula-
tion for any state-but there is no rea-
son why California should be forced
to monopolize them.
A border patrol which could be work
ed out along legal lines would be pres
ent benefit and future insurance for this
state.

CRAFT UNIONS AND
INDUSTRIAL UNIONS

There is no more potent nor lmpor-
tant topic along the national front to-
day than that of unionism. Labor diff
ficulties in various industries, reaching
a peak in the current maritime strike,
make the subject one for timely consider
alton.
These columns last week quoted
fruit tramp's explanation that the Sail
mas lettuce strike failed because an
agricultural union, unlike craft union,
is made up of persons whose trade can
be learned in matter of minutes or
hours. The desire of maritime strikers
for the support of all other unions
brings the subject into sharp focus.
1t is difficult to understand why there
should be anything but the thinnest of
bonds between unions such as those Of
stevedores and field workers, and unions
such as those of carpenters, printers,
plumbers and the like. The craft unions
are made up of skilled workers, men
who have spent years mastering trades
that cannot be learned in day or a
month. Why should they consider them
selves in the same category with labor
ers whose Jobs may have some special
tricks, but can be learned by anyone
with sufficient muscle in very short
time?
Generally, the men comprising the
craft unions are of far higher mental
and moral calibre than those in the
other unions They are sober, indus
trious and desirable residents of any
community. They have learned their
jobs by years of study, and take pride
in their work. They are the kind Of
men deserving most consideration.
Yet the others expect their whole
hearted support in a cause that does not
even interest them.

principles for which the party
stood. It had to compromise at
every step. AS a consequence, it
invariably wound up by satisfying
nobody.
Over and over again this hap
pened. No German government
had based authority. The people
were nopelessly divided-not into
two parts, but into half a dozen
or more.
AS year followed year, the peo-
pie became more and more disil-
lusioned with democratic govern

In the end of course, Hitler came
along and imposed unity from a.
bove at the cost of shooting, tor
turing, or imprisoning all those
who were not ready to accept it.

The landslide habit at least re-
lieves Americans from that DAN
ger. They are not divided hope
lessly; ever since the war, each
president on taking office has
known that he was backed by an
irresistible majority - no matter
how good the chances might be
that such majority would run out
from under him in the end
The landslide vote, of course,
is a symptom rather than cause,
and that is why it is encouraging.
1t is living testimony that we are
a homogeneous people, that we
think and feel together, that we
are not paralyzing ourselves by
that fatal inability to make up
our minds.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-11-16

If someone could figure out just
where we Americans got. our re-
cent habit of deciding things by
landslide vote, he would add
good deal to the clarity of poll
tical science.
There has not been a reasonably
close presidential election in this
country since the Hughes-Wilson
race of 1916. Harding went into
office by an overwhelming vote.
Coolidge did likewise and so did
Hoover; now roosevelt, for the
second time, has received the same
sort of mandate.
Some of these votes represent
opposite tendencies and contrast
ing attitudes toward the problems
of government, but all testify that
the American people make up
their minds in a bunch, so to
speak, and make their decisions
with tremendous emphasis.
And this habit, when you stop
to think about it, is one of the
best symptoms of health a democ-
racy could display.

One need do no more than ex-
anime postwar European history
very hastily to see how disastrous
1t can be for government to be
unable to get from its people any
clear-cut and decisive verdict on
the issues of the day.
Take the case of pre-Hitler Ger
many. Half dozen large parties
competed for popular favor. Not
one of them ever was able to get
majority of the popular vote;
the best any could get was a bare
plurality. It was always outnum-
bered by its opponents even when
it was in power.
The results were fatal. The par
ty in power never had enough
popular support to put through
its own program, embodying the
