Militarizing the c. C. c.

p REPRESENTATIVE NICHOLS Of
~ Oklahoma is trying to accom-
plish something which should have
been done long ago. He's preparing
bill to make military reserve units
of the c. c. c. boys, which would
mean discipline and morale for
thousands of young Americans and,
if needed, would provide the rcleus
of trained citizen-army.
Seems to me there is every reason
why congress should enact the leg
islation, not as warlike gesture,
but as peace-time move for ma
tional defense and national protec-
ton. But watch the professional
pacifists fight it-professional paci-
fists being well-meaning folks who
believe in Santa Claus, turning the
other cheek, and the beautiful, if
slightly impractical theory, that
white rabbit will be perfectly safe
among pack of greedy coyotes.
Actors Trading Careers.
II ALF-WAY across the continent,
- actors who have succeeded in
Hollywood and are headed east, hop
ing to break into the legitimate
stage on Broadway, pass actors
who, having succeeded on Broad
way, are heading west, hoping to
break into the movies in Hollywood.
1t is two-way traffic which grows
heavier all the time.
Thus we see how human hopes
are uplifted and how curious a thing
is human nature, not to mention
human ambition. Also It's good for
railroad travel.
But if the jaybirds suddenly de-
cided to trade their nests for wood
pecker holes and the woodpeckers
fell in heartily with the idea, we
superior creatures could laugh at
feathered friends for being such

New Pumps Aid
Weed Eradication

Replacement of old equipment
by new high pressure spray pumps
has made possible a more extensive
weed eradication and control pro-
gram during the past year, accord
ing to B. A. Harrigan, county agri-
cultural commissioner.
Excellent results were realized
through the application of arsen-
ical sprays under pressure on morn
ing glory and camel thorn. Camel
thorn infestations in the valley
are now reduced to point where
it is difficult, in most cases, to
find more than a few scattered
plants where heavy growth had
previously been noted.
Considerable time and material
has been used in an effort to con-
troll white horse nettle but thus
far no effective method has been
introduced to eliminate the nettle.
Sprays kill the plant on top Of
the ground but do not reach the
roots and the nettle reappears the
next season.
Experiments will be carried on
during the next few months, how
ever. in an effort to control the
nettle.

CALEXICAN CHARGES
BUSTING A MENACE

Use of airplanes for busting field
crops and orchards with poisonous
insecticides has created a serious
health problem in California, charg-
ed Mrs. Laura Sheppard of CAL

California Beekeepers association
in Fresno.
Mrs. Sheppard said the fight
against crop busting from airplanes
was first instituted by beekeepers,
who found their bees were dying
following airplane crop, busting
work.
Discharging the insecticide from

poisonous substances drifting over
the countryside and covering fields

For example. Wallace may find

Naturally, every businessman and
investor is frightened. Is this sharp
recession forecasting another major
business depression, or is it just a
normal readjustment period in the
basic upward swing which started
in 1893? This is the question on
the nations lips today Here are
some basic reasons for the decline
at this time:
|. SPENDING: There are few
instances on record where public
spending. waste, and extravaganza
have reached as great a peak as in
the United States in the last six
years. The federal deficit has grown
nearly s20.000000,00, while a mon
jtroUs bureaucracy has been built
I'd Throughout the land Millions
Of people are being fooled into
thinking that the federal govern
ment can take care of them if they
cannot. or will not, take care OF
themselves. The treasury is still
~unning into debt at the rate of
s5.00o00 per working day despite
fhe doubling Of tax receipts. His
'ory shows that there never has
been nation which has spent. for
ion2 more than it took in without
ending uD in economic chaos.
2. TAXES: Tax levies are the
highest in the history OF the coun-
try. Thirty cents out of every dol
lar OF income goes to pay taxes
direct or hidden. Social Security
charges have added to the cost of
doing business. Capital gains taxes
are destroying the initiative of capi-
tai. The wicked undistributed
profits tax penalties thrift. Real
estate is depressed by back-break-
ing assessments. The present tax
system is unWise, unreasonable. and
destructive.
3. LABOR: Labor's misguided
actions last spring encouraged man
ufacturers and retailers to build
up top-heavy inventories. The cost
OF production was boosted, profits
reduced. and capital discouraged.
Unsettled labor conditions have been
a major factor in holding off new

building wage scales has snuffed

8. RELIGION and EDUCATION.
The real hope of America lies with
the churches and educational in
stitutionS. We will have better gov
ernment only as we have better peo-
pie. But what do we see today?
Many church denominations have
become largely businesses" oper-
ated by paid officials, secretaries,
and other salaried people. They
seem primarily interested in rails
ing money to insure their own jobs
rather than in spreading the teach
ings of Jesus. High schools and
! colleges have gone crazy over foot

parent neglect of the real needs of
the students.
Despite these terrific obstacles.
