TWO INITIATIVE MEASURES
TO CONTROL LABOR UNIONS

Voters of California may be faced at
the forthcoming election with two lnitia-
tive measures. each designed to control
irresponsible labor unionism and correct
many present-day evils of labor trouble.
One measure is sponsored by the Women
of the Pacific. the other by the Associated
Farmers Of California. the Southern
Californians and The Neutral Thousands.
Without here discussing the two pro-
posed measures in detail. we believe it
apparent that the latter IS most fair
both to employer and employe. and most
deserving of public support
The abuses against which public clamor
has been greatest would be corrected i'm
the initiative proposal put forward by
by the Associated Farmers and friendly
organizations. without placing undemo-
cratic restrictions on labor unions, we
feel. The other measure appears alto
gether too searching. even going 50 far
as to establish union membership quail
fications, methods of voting within the
unions, and qualifications of officers.
ANY organization. social or business,
has the right to establish its own MEM
bership qualifications and its own voting
rules Labor unions, we believe, should
enjoy the same right.
The Associated Farmers measure
strikes more directly at the seat of trou-
BILE by outlawing those practices Osten-
sibly against the public good, and by
providing adequate control over other
practices the abuse Of which has result
ed in much discord.
This latter measure would prohibit
coercion, intimidation. interference with
lawful use of such public property as
streets and wharfs. seizure of property
through sit-down strikes or other meth
ods, and picketing intended solely to in
fluence union membership one way or
another. 1t would provide fair regula-
tion of picketing and boycotting, allow
ing picketing by bona fide employees of
the struck firm but outIawing importa-
tion of pickets in no way connected with
the business affected.
The Associated Farmers proposal
would, in brief, place labor unions in
California on a sound footing. 1t would,
we feel sure, react to the benefit of the
labor unions themselves by again assur-
ing them of the public confidence they
are so rapidly losing.

When President RCC5egtlt told
the graduating class at the Unit
ed States Naval Academy the 9TH
CT day that they must get away
from a narrow professionalism and
strive for "a wcll-rounded knowl-
edge of all aspects Of modern life,
he touched on point that has
been sharply debated of late.
That point concerns the sort of
education that our military and
naval academies are giving their
young men.
West Point and Annapolis exists
to train officers for the army and
navy. But they have a dual func-
ton They also are supposed to
impart the equivalent of the liberal
arts education which a young man
would get at a first-rate college.
And large number Of critics
lately have complained that neith-
er institution is doing 50 very well
with the second half of its job.
To a certain extent, this critic
ism is undoubtedly well taken. In
the very nature Of things the
service schools cannot be expected
TO do as well as the civilian col
leges in the matter Of instilling a
thirst for pure learning, ground
ing in the classics and a passion
for abstract research. There just
naturally are too many other
things for them 10 do.
But it might be wise for us to
ask, seriously. whether this short
coming makes any very great diff
.lerence-eVea if it is as great a
shortcoming as some of the critics
say.
The army and the navy are, af-
ter all, grim and purposeful insti-
tutions. They exist primarily to

fight battles-and, more impor-
tant, to win them. The first job OF
the service schools is to prepare
leaders for these grim institutions;
leaders who will be able to take
care of the country'S interests in
time of war.
Now it would be very nice indeed
if every admiral could and would
read Horace in the original, write
sonnets in his spare time, and hold
up his end in discussion of the
theories of Adam Smith and Her
bert Spencer. But if he couldn't
handle a fleet in action he would
be a total WaShout, and the money
his country spent on his excellent
education at Annapolis would be
money tragically wasted.
John Paul Jones, after all, was n
rather rought and unCouth chap
who would doubtless have been
very i'll at ease at sWanky Lon
don dinner table When Farrague
started his ships up the Missouri
river, he needed to know his job
as sailor, not to be a polished an
cultured gentleman. If Dewey had
fooled his assignment at Manila
Bay it would have been scant con
ISOLATION TO know that he was an
ardent admirer of MOntaigne.
When we talk about improving
the curriculum" at Annapolis or
West Point, we need to remember
just what it is that those two
schools are supposed to be doing.

MAKE A PROFIT

(OrOville Mercury Register)
To the extent that the Japanese in
China and Frances paid soldiers in Spain
are flouting all modern standards of
humanity, those two conflicts are wars
against civilization.
When nation is willing to ignore the
protests of three powers like the United
States, Britain and France and continue
bombing a city like Canton, killing and
Wounding thousands. We see a callous
indifference to horror that challenges
world attention.
When these nations continue to sell
to Japan materials with which she can
continue her slaughter of the innocents.
we note another type of indifference that
Is on about the same level.
Our shipments of scrap iron and other
supplies continue to Japan. and this
TACT has been called to the country's
attention in the past few hours. What
does the President mean by that in face
OF his famous Quarantine speech? Are
we to talk peace and humanity, and then
hand the villain more munitions so that
he can continue committing atrocities?
We are in favor of claHping every pos
slble economic handicap down on the
Japanese. SO would everyone be if only
he were forced for few hours to witness
the atrocities that result from rain of
bombs upon defenseless city, or upon
lines of fleeing refugees.
AT our great distance we grow immune
to the sorrows of a nation or of indivi-
dualS who have lost their loved ones in
that way. A nation sorrows when a child
Is kidnapped, and yawns when it reads
of thousands of non-combatants slain

A RECORD
TO BE PROUD OF

Graham county, Arizona, can very
well afford to be among the proudest
counties in the United States In the last
nine months, there has not been one
automobile accident in Graham county.
How do they do it?
"We don't wait for the reckless drivers
to come to us" the sheriff explained
this week I'VE go out on the highways
and get them before they have a chance
to kill themselves"
Traffic may not be as heavy in Gra
ham county as it is some other places,
but the same principle would do much
to cut down accidents everywhere. The
average motorist regards the average
traffic cop with great deal of respect
when the traffic cop is in sight. And
the average motOrist is a deal more care
full on highways where he knows traf-
fic ticket turks at the 50-mark on his
speedometer than he is elsewhere.
A jail sentence for drunken driving
will do more 10 prevent recurrence Of
the crime than will all manner of preach
ment. And the certainty that there will
be a sentence the first time, instead of
probation and d lecture, does a lot to
prevent the first time.
Graham county has the right idea.

Did he cry out bitterly that he

did not. Realizing that nothing

was no money! SO he kept ON at

failed to matriculate. But he plug

They learned he was young man

was admitted to Amhurst with eight

All of these struggles had an
effect! While he was struggling,
and hoping, and meeting defeat,
