KEEP POLITICS
0IIT OF CCC

The Western Forestry and Conserva-
ton association is on record strongly
commending the national administration
for its Civilian Conservation Corps, but
urging that the organization be kept
free from politics in its administrative
personnel; that is, that appointments
and promotions be made on the merit
system, not on the spoils system. Most
Americans will agree wholeheartedly
with the forestry association.
The Civilian Conservation Corps is
one of the most worthwhile endeavors
of the Roosevelt regime. 1t serves a
twofold purpose: furnishing bona fide
employment for many young men who
would otherwise be jobless; and accom-
plishing conservation and improvement
of the national forests. Forest preserva-
ton has become an increasingly vexing
national problem in the last few years.
Anything to solve this problem is well
come step, and one which may save mil
lions of dollars in years to come. There
is no argument with the CCC.
Appointments and promotions in the
CCC, on the other hand, should be made
just as they are in the army, on service
and merit. Political patronage could
wreck the organization quicker than
anything else, and its wreckage should
be very far from the desire of its spon-
sors.
By all means, politics should be kept
out of the CCC.

BRINGING ALL

VALLEY
A COMIC STRIP PREDICTS
THE END OF VAR

Walt Disney, drawing his Mickey
Mouse" comic strip for the entertain
ment of thousands of readers, has plac-
ed his tiny character in situation which
well might be prophetic, at least as to
the basic idea. The funny little mouse
has discovered and is dickering with a
scientist who has harnessed the atom,
unleashing force without parallel in
the worlds history, either for good or
evil.
The situation is fantastic, imaginary
and all that, but behind it is the idea
that this force, in the hands of war
like nation, could subjugate the world.
In the hands of a nation inclined to
peace, it would insure the peace of the
world; it is such terrible weapon.
There is more than entertainment in
Walt Disney's latest idea There is the
theory that war will be ended for all
time when it is made so terrible that
it will consume those who start it, as
well as those who defend themselves
against it.
Spain has proved that war is not yet
a totally destructive force. 1t is tragic,
useless and devastating, but it does not
annihilate. 1t leaves MANNED men and
women in its wake, it leaves ruined
towns and ruined credit.-but it does
leave some life and some hope behind.
When it does not, then none of the peo-
Piles of the world will want war.
When the weapons of war become so
destructive that they bring the realiza-
tion nothing can survive them, there will
be no desire to use them. Such desire
would be suicidal.
1t is to be hoped that the human race
realizes in time-when the time does
come-that another war would leave
nothing but ruined world behind it.

NINETEEN HUNDRED
THINK OF SAFETY.

y The Lions clubs of Imperial and San
Diego counties are responsible for one
of the sanest safety campaigns yet con-
Quoted. A total of 1900, essays were
submitted by school children of the two
counties in safety essay contest spon-
sored by the clubs. This means that
at least 1900 children were encouraged
to think seriously of the subject of safe
ty on the country's highways.
The safety of the highways is in the
hands of the nations motorists. Too
many of them give it no thought until
too late; then they find their machines
wrecked and possibly the lives of their
loved ones lost. Only by awareness OF
the dangers that lurk around every
curve will the highway menace be over
come.
The children of today are the drivers
of tomorrow. To start them thinking
of safety is the best way to assure their
safety and insure their lives. The Lions
clubs have taken big step in that direc-
tion.

life of Riley? Take it from the
lady who writes about it, it does
not. When hard times come, and
the $4,000 shrinks to $4,000, it Is
almost impossible to economize;
they are on everybody's sucker list,
they are expected to keep up their
clubs and their social activities,
their fixed charges cannot be cut
much, and if they fire the servants
they simply create more unemploy-
ment.
Altogether, says this lady, it is
pretty much of headache and any,
one who thinks that $4,000 a year
ends all ones troubles simply does
not know what he is talking about.
X
Nevertheless, this is a cold and
unfeeling world; and in view of the
fact that the average American has
to feed, clothe, and house his FAM
lily, provide for his old age, pay
his taxes, and find whatever recre-
alton he can on substantially less
than this lady spends for her cloth
ing in one year, it is doubtful that
anybody is going to extend much
sympathy to her.
For these upper bracket folk, al
though they may have their
troubles, are at least free from that
haunting, spectral fear that goes
with low income-that feeling of
insecurity, that realization that a
bad break in the luck may mean
utter helplessness in the face of
disaster.
Free from that fear, they start
life with tremendous advantage
over the rest Of us. If, with that
advantage, they can't find happi-
ness, it must be pretty largely their
own fault.

Plight Of WelI-To-Do Fails to Arouse Tears

Trying to get the ordinary person
to Shed q tear over the sad fix of
the man who has an income of
$4,000 year Is as fruitless task
as trying to weave a rope of sea-
foam and sand
The effort is made, just the same,

husband occupies that exalted
salary bracket writes copiously to
prove that life for the rich is far
from bed of roses. And she has
The figures to prove it.
There are, she says, four people
in the family-herself. her husband,
their daughter, and her mother.
They occupy simple 16-room- and
four bath house. And do they live
riotously on their rs grand per
annum? They do not.
First of all, Uncle Sam takes
away rather better than $4,000 in
income tax. Real estate taxes and
interest on the mortgage take an
other $4,000. Insurance of all kinds
runs to $1857 year.
To divers relatives the family
gives about $4,000 a year; to char
tiles, $4,000; to sundry business clubs,
$1275. Eighteen hundred is charged
off to depreciation.
The lady of the house spends
$2790 for clothes; the husband, $40.
Hubby's cigars, lunches, railroad
fares, and incidentals eat up $2700.
The servants wages run to $369G
and the years food bill is $2811.
Altogether, counting these ex-
penses and various incidentals, it
costs this family $56,000 to get
through the year, leaving only a
scant $4,000 to invest or put in
the bank.

Roosevelt Takes a Leaf From the
Fathers All About the Constitution

WASHINGTON-Mr Roosevelt, he moves
toward some action to curb the powers ne 1eeis
have been usurped by the U. S. Supreme Court,
will undertake to show that his attitude toward
the Constitution is similar to that OF the 1ouho.
ing fathers who wrote it, and that members OF
the court are the ones who have Inlsinterpreteo
that document.
In his first message to this Congress, the
president urged all hands to read the constltu-
tional debates. You can do that with surprls-
ing results, because the history Of the Constitu-
TONS origins is still unknown to the great bulk
of Americans.
Just how interesting such study, can be was
demonstrated in Washington the other day by
Irving Brant of the st. Louis Star-Tmes an
authority whose Storm Over the Constitution
is kept handy around the White House and in
other important New Deal offices.
If it could be proved that the trainers of the
Constitution intended to give Congress the pow
er to establish mercantile monopolieS, Brant ar
pued in a speech to the Peoples Lobby it would
follow that the government had constitutional
power to go far beyond anything found in the
New Deal and could even take over the economic
life of the nation.
No answer to Brant's effort to prove that
government monopoles constitutional Is
available because the American Liberty League,
which was asked to send the chairman of Its
lawyers committee or somebody else to debate
the point, didn't accept the invitation.
Three days before the Constitution was sign
ed. Brant pointed out one James Wilson OF
camille monopolies. they are already included
In the power to regulate trade"
Wilson was the outstanding legal scholar OF
his time and Washington later made him one
of the original justices of the supreme court.
Brant finds further evidence in the fact that
George Mason of Virginia gave reason
for his refusal to sign the Constitution that
"the Congress may grant monopolies in trade
and commerce"
Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts,, also refus-
ing to sign, complained that under the power
of commerce, monopoes may be established"
James Madison often called the Constitu-
tons father" said that "the power to regulate
commerce is indivisble and ought to be wholly
under one authority"
Madison also proposed in letters to Washing
ton and Edmund Randolph of Virginia. Let
the national government have a negative
in all cases whatsoever on the legislative acts
of the states as the king of Great Britain here
tofore had This conceive to be essential and
the least possible abrdgement of the state sover-
eignites'
Madison further recommended that states
be reduced to "the condition of counties" Alex
ander Hamilton, meanwhile, was saying that
states, as states Ought to be abolished"
There were seven staunch defenders OF state
sovereignty at the convention, Brant said and
all seven took walk or refused to sign. So
how, he asks, can anyone consider the Consti-
tuition states rights document?

MUCH INAUGURAL

at the inaugural ceremony for President
Roosevelt, teIegraphed indignation to
Governor Frank F. Merriam that there
was no official delegate, named by Mer-
riam, to act as guest of honor at the
California state party on inaugural
night California certainly did not slight
the president, delivering as it did his
largest state electoral vote, and sending
the greatest number of delegates to his
Inauguration. For that reason, it seems
highly unlikely that President Roosevelt

sight which left the state without an
