THE SAFETY VALVE

Because that's just what the Re-
publicans have done-and of course
when I say Republicans I mean
those fellows that hold the ele-
plants trunk in the parade, not
those that just tag along. In every
community in this county, and in
every other county, it's been the
Republicans who have hoWled so
loudly for public funds. Several
cities in the state have elected Re-
publican mayors-and what's the
first thing those fellows have donet
Told their people that it's time to
start balancing the budget? NO.
they have gone right out and asked
for government money for their
projects.
Of course, they use the excuse
that if the government doesn't
spend money in their locality,
they'll spend it back east or some
where else, but did they ever stop
to think that someone has to quit
asking for all this money If they're
going to persuade the government
to stop giving it away?
A discussion of politics may not
be the right place to quote the
Bible, but there is a saying in the
Good Book about LET him who
is without sin cast the first stone.
Now, if the Republicans could ap-
solve themselves of the sin Of ask
ing the government to spend mon
ey, one might say that they had a
good and valid reason in objecting
to that practice, but such is not
the case.
Yes, it's going to be an amusing
campaign. and the moGy amusing
part of it is the sight of those Re
publicans down behind the eight
ball, shouting about the government
spending so much money

Hearings Set For
Market Agreements

Public hearings on two proposed
federal AAA marketing agreements
for Washington hops and potatoes,
respectively, are scheduled for
June 20, the hop hearing to be in
Yakima and the potato session
scheduled for Ellensburg.
The hop meeting follows similar
sessions held in Santa Rosa. Cali
fornia, and Salem, Oregon. BY es-
tablishing, "saleable quantity"
the proposed hop agreement would
limit the total quantity Of hops
produced in 1888 and 1889 handled
in interstate and foreign commerce.
The proposed potato agreement
would affect potatoes marketed
commercially in the II late pro-
ducing states. 1t provides flexible
plan which can be adjusted to meet
various situations and follows in
general the outline of marketing
programs in operation this year in
other potato producing areas.
Gull potatoes would be kept from
pi1ipment in Interstate commerce in
periods Of moderate surplus. In
wears of greater surplus, the ship
ments of other low grade and small
size potatoes could be restricted
Exemptions would be provided for
an individual producer If shipping
restrictions otherwise would prevent
him from disposing of as large a
proportion of his supplies as the
average disposed of by other pro-
ducers. No restrictions would be
placed on shipment of No. grade
potatoes.

June 10, 1888

The present year has all the m
dlcations of being very amusing
campaign year, even though it will
be a month or more before the
politicians begin to really get down
to business.
So far, except for the Democratic
office holders who are letting it be
known that they are out to hold
their jobs, all the noise is being
made by the Republicans, who have
been holding county or district raj
lies on the average of one a week,
and who, with their usual finesse,
have managed to stick their col
lective neck out each time they
say anything for publication,
For instance, from the very start
they have let it be known that
they are out to beat Knute Hill
in this district, and then they went
ahead and made the mistake of
calling him Roosevelt's rubber
stamp" Yes, they said that about
cur Ca-nute, who right now is do
Ding very fine job of telling Sec
rotary Wallace that he is all wrong
about this spray residue tolerance,
and who has never hesitated to tell
the President or anyone else that
he was wrong when it came right
down to a matter of principles.
Lots of us remember, even if the
Republicans don't, long before
Knute Hill was congressman CT
there was New Deal, when he
went around talking about the SUI
preme court and how we should
quit spending so much money for
the navy and the army. And still
the Republicans have the nerve to
call him rubber stamp
Just this week they stuck Their
neck out again when they began to
crow so loudly over the results OF
the primary in Iowa. Now, [ don t
suppose anybody out here knows
all the facts of the campaign there,
but I do know that it doesn't mat
ter much to us whether those folks
pick a conservative Democrat or
New Dealer. All this fuss about the
administration having entered the
campaign there and tried to make
the Iowa voters take certain cam
didate sounds a little far-fetcheG,
anyway If the administration real
ly had such designs, they would
have given the job to a man like
Jim Farley, not just an amateur
like Hopkins
They say that because the Re-
publican vote in Iowa was over
twice as great as the Democratic
vote it means that the tide hat
turned, but they forget that the
Republicans always have polled Il
larger primary vote there-and then
the Democrats have beaten them
in the finals. In fact, right here
in Washington, and down in Ore
gon, the Democrats never look any
too strong in the primaries, but
the general election is another mat
ter.
But where the Republicans real
Nv find themselves behind the eight
ball is the campaign issue-or
should it be the lack of a campaign
issue about the spending of SO
much money by the government.
Now lots Of people don't approve
Of the government spending money
all the time, but it would seem thai
anyone that goes out and urges
the government to spend money,
and then bawls them out after
they've done just that, shouldn't
gay much about it.

Bruce Cation Says
Indignation and Sorrow Should Mean Action

The United States has blown off
a good deal of steam lately, telling
the world how indignant it is over
Hitler's most recent outrages
against the Jews
This has been all to the good.
The sentiment does the country
credit, and it has undoubtedly
helped to solidify sentiment against
the Nazi philosophy of life. But it
is about time for the people of the
United States to ask themselves
just how indignant and outraged
they really are.
Are they, in other words, indig-
nant and outraged enough to do
something concrete and substantial
for the victims of the Hitler terror?
Germany contains something in
the neighborhood of half million
Jews. Every consideration of hu-
manity and plain decency demands
that as many as possible of these
luckless people be moved from the
country. But to do that will take
a great deal of money, some care
ful planning-and, last but not
least, the provision of new place
for them to live.

FREIGHT RATE CASE AN
EXAMPLE OF COOPERATION

One of the best examples recently seen
of the reasons for community organiza-
tion is found in the recommendation of
the Interstate Commerce Commissions
examiner that Arizona and California
freight rates on perishable produce be
equalized to remove a current million
dollar differential in favor of Arizona.
Without community organization, there
would now be no possibility that this
unfair discrimination against Califor-
MA growers and shippers would be re-
moved. AS it is, an equalized rate waits
only on the routine official order of the
Interstate Commerce Commission itself
and the commission almost invariably
follows the recommendation of its exam
iners in such matters.
Thousands of dollars were spent by
various California agencies in bringing
about re-hearing of the rate case which
resulted in the new recommendation.
Without the cooperation of other agen-
cies, no one of these groups could have
achieved the desired goal by itself.
The Ell Centre chamber of commerce,
in Imperial Valley, took a leading hand
in the fight for rate parity. Without the
farm bureau, other chambers of COM
merce, the Southern Pacific railroad and
other organizations, however, it could
have done nothing. And Imperial Valley
alone, without the help of other Califor-
MIA districts, could have done nothing.
Cooperation is the best way to get a
thing done.
Time and again this has been demon
strated in one way or another-and now
we have cooperation saving our ship
pers and growers a million dollars a
year. There's moral here for the TAX
ing

DOUGLAS CORRIGAN
AS A CITIZEN
[ Riverside PresSl

(Riverside Press)
Douglas Corrigan has the makings of
a great citizen, if he isn't already one
We may have mentioned that before, but
it will do no harm to repeat it. His movie
career may be short, it must be admitted,
but if we are not mistaken the general
public is going to go places with this
young man.
In the first place Douglas Corrigan
shows a magnificent independence of
Hollywood froth coupled with amazing
sense about a lot of things including
money. He had occasion recently to eX-
plain about his salary, simply that he is
getting half of the 100000 which the
studio said it was paying him. "Of
course" he added, I'm not kicking. It's
still a lot of money"
AS it's little short of lese majesty in
Hollywood to admit that you're getting
less than the studio advertises you are,
Corrigan is not making friends with the
studios very materially, and will need
the assistance of the public who like
this red-headed wrong-way flier
The immediate result, will no doubt be
greatly improved public relations out of
Hollywood and new crop of press
agents whose hair turns white over night.

voicing its indignation in less Oh
ficial out equally eloquent ways, the
United States has shown that the
fate of these people is-to a GER
tain extent, at leaSt-a matter III
which il is directly concerned.
Therefore it can hardly do less
than take an active part in the
formulation and execution OF plans
for their relief
Which suggests the possibility
that the people of the United States
might give some serious thought to
the question of relaxing their I'M
migration restrictions in one way
or another to permit the entry OF
some of the Hitler refugees.
1t may be that it would be Un-
wise to relax those restrictions.
The present immigration policy re-
suited from nationwide dissatis-
faction with the way the old
system of free immigration was
working; the country's first duty
is to itself, and it can hardly
change this policy without care
fully weighing all of the factors.
Yet the subject at least needs to
be examined thoughtfully. And if
in the end it is decided that the
United States cannot offer a haven
to the German refugees, then 1t is
pretty clearly the country's duty
to give active support to the best
practical plan for settling them
elsewhere. 1t could support such
a plan by contributing organizers
and administrators, by providing
funds, by furnishing transport,
supplies and the odds and ends of
equipment that the refugees would
need to establish themselves in
their new land.
All things considered, the coun-
try can hardly dodge this duty.
BY the vigor of its protests it has
committed itself. 1t has demon
strated that it is not Indifferent to
the fate of the Jews in Germany.
But it has talked and protested
enough. Definite action to relieve
those victims of barbariSm is now
in order. We shall soon see whether
the people of America are sorry
and indignant enough to do some
thing-or only sorry and indignant
enough to pass resolutions.

ADVICE TO EMPLOYERS

(Oroville MercuryRegister)
Some very good advice was given en-
ployers by Riley Doe in his talk before
the Rotary club. If business is not to be
ruined by dissension employers either
must better working conditions or else
convince their employees that conditions
as they exist are the best the business
can allow.
When he said that each employer must
do this for himself he said something
that comparatively few have admitted.
We find employers railing at the nation
al or state governments, blaming them
for the trouble that has come to pass.
1t is true that trouble has been stimulat-
ed to some extent from these sources,
but the cure for trouble lies in the en-
ployer himself, rather than in political
action.
Another thing. Most of the railing
comes from employers who have opposed
defiantly every attempt of the employees
to organize. Those who never have op-
posed such move should not be drawn
into the camp of those who have. Let
them fight their own battles, if they are
not aware that times have changed and
that they are in new day. Enlightened
employers cannot afford to associate
with and be influenced by those who are
behind the times in labor relations.

foods. but from his ability to handle
people! Then he gave me an eX-
ample.
He ioined the Waldorf Astoria
the day it opened as head waiter In
charge of the downstairs restaur-
ant service" and was most anX-
ious to make good.
One day there was a strike, not
in his department, but among the
upstairs walters. The manager,
Mr.. Boldt. sent for Oscar and
asked him to investigate and learn
why the walters wanted to strike.
Oscar found that the man in
charge of that department mis-
treated his men, especially the old
walters. who were trained men, but
slow on their feet. The man in
charge of the walters swore at
them and Inundated them instead
of encouraging them to do their
work well.
Can you correct this situations"
Mr.. Boldt asked Oscar
I'll try-if you'll let me do it my
way" Oscar replied.
The first thing he did was to call
the men together and have a talk
with them. He told them no one
would swear at them and that every
man would be given a fair deal.
Then he set about remodeilil.g
the food serving system, to make
the work easier on the men. He
installed two dumb walters, and
speaking tubes TO facilitate the
serving of food to the upstairs res
taurant. He ordered lighter trays
tnan were then in use, and with
legs so they could be set up and
handled easily. He made arrange
ments for keeping small supplies
of food either hot or cold, in the
upstairs serving pantries.
Then ne made a master stroke,
taking into consideration the age
and valuable experience of the old
er walters. He placed them at
speaking tubes in the kitchen and
gave them jobs supervising the
service down there. Food began to
come through quickly, and the
walters got larger tips. Soon the
department which had caused the
most trouble was the best man
aged. Oscar had gone to the source,
thought of his men, and helped
solve their problems.
Today Oscar has some 900 people
working under his direction.
He is 72 years old, and still
works on an average Of sixteen
hours a day.
The quality that made for his
tremendous success is his ability
to handle people, and he believes
that to be his most valuable asset
even towering above his ability to
direct the preparation and serving

If THE MOONEY CASE
COMES UP FOR HEARING

Governor-elect Culbert L. Olson, fol-
lowing shotly upon his election, an
nounced that he would order hearing
to determine if Tom Mooney, the Prepar-
edness Day bomber, actually is guilty of
the heinous crime charged against him.
For many years the courts of the land
have held that Mooney is guilty. Every
governor of California until now has
failed to find any evidence that he is
innocent. Witnesses who have 'repudiat-
ed" their testimony at his original trial
have been caught in barefaced lies dur
ing their so-called reputation, and in
every case it has been shown that radical
labor unions have brought pressure to
bear upon the witnesses.
We believe Tom Mooney is guilty.
Believing this, we should not oppose
second trial" for him, if that is what
California's new governor proposes. If
such a trial is held, however, we believe
some organized group should present the
evidence against Mooney, rather than
letting his pardon go by default.
A hearing of the kind considered could
be one of two things: 1t could be moth
ing more than a mass demonstration Of
radical elements favoring MONEYS re-
lease, loaded with a lot of bombast but
little logic; or it could be a stern, deliber-
ate hearing of evidence to determine if
witnesses at the Mooney trial were lying
in the first instance, or if they have
taken to lying since.
If Olson orders such a hearing, it is
our hope in the interests of justice that
every available shred of evidence against
Mooney, as well as every bit of evidence
that can be found in his favor, is pro-
duced. If the state does not see that
the prosecution is well represented, some
one else should.

staff, and Dies inferentially has
attacked LaFollette for "un-Amer-
