LET'S GET THIS MANDATE
BUSINESS STRAIGHT

We've heard so much about the "peo-
pies mandate" these last few months
mat the words are becoming as shiny
from use as the seat of an editors trou-
sers and as dull to the year as a Thanks
giving knife is to a turkey.
Democrats, Republicans. Socialists.
communists, technocrats, plutocrats and
autocrats, to say nothing of dictators and
presidents, have taken occasion to justify
.hls or that act or idea on the theory
IL was the peoples mandate
The newest inundated official is Ellis
patterson, CALIFORNIA; new lieutenant
governor. He's going to continue APP
pointing standing state senate commit
Tees because the peoples mandate sup
ports his program. This mandate, he
contends, justifies him in going contrary
TO a resolution adopted at the last ses-
sion OF the state senate, placing appoint
ment OF the standing committees in the
hands of the senators themselves.
Maybe Patterson is right and maybe
,Ve is wrong, but for the sake of our
: varied ear for words we wish he would
sseN some ether phrase than peoples
mandate
And, anyway, just what is this social
eu peoples mandate?
Patterson was elected, certainly. For
the sake of argument let US admit that
ms election was mandate from The
people. Then let us follow the thread of
that same argument into the august halls
OF the state capitol and find out who has
and who hasn't this fabulous mandate.
Patterson was elected. He was given
the peoples mandate. Assemblyman Clar-
ence Walker was elected from Imperial
csussty. He too, was given the peoples
mandate. Senator Ed Law was elected.
So he also carries this mandate with MIN
into the state senate. And so it goes with
every assemblyman and every senator
in California. Each represents the wishes
Of the people in his community
= So we find that, following Mr.. Patter-
sons own argument, the state senate has
a lot more peoples mandates than the
). lieutenant governor, if there is more
than one mandate. If there isn't, it looks
like the thing is pretty evenly split up,
..and nobody has a right to claim it.
For the sake of variety in politics,
I'VE wish nobody would mention it again

HORN OF PLENTY

(Callfornla Progressive ReVleW)
The fertile, sumptuous earth of Cali
fornia is proving itself virtually mex
haustible horn of plenty this year
In rapid-fire succession, production
records have been shattered and the law
of averages has found itself spectacular
ly flouted time and again.
This spells all honor to the continuing
richness of California's SOIL the increas-
ing efficiency of farmers in planting,
cultivation, and irrigation But it also
who overdid herself this year, as much as
it foretells a possibly profitless year for
many thousands of fruit growers, and
particularly for the dried fruit prOduc-
erS.
Few Californians are aware that 80
per cent of the states great fruit crop is
dried, or that 80 per cent of all such fruit
produced in the United States is grown
in California and returns an average of
50,000,000 new dollars yearly to Califor
MIA farmers. Top leaders in this horn Of
plenty are prunes and raisins which usU-
ally account for half of these new dollars.
Next month when an expected
259000 tons of raisins and $4,000 tons
of prunes are launched into Americas
markets with a nationwide advertising
campaign, their numbers will have been
pared to the pit and seed by off-grade
reductions, pro-rate reductions and sur
plus removals But the normal demand
for each crop is 100000 tons. Uneasy
growers, barely able to pay for picking,
packing and shipping their product, are
right in believing the horn of plenty
blew too long in their direction.
If the consumers of California and the
nation lend a helping hand growers may
yet hear glad tidings this year.
Whether they do or not is now up to
the public

'IhE BEST WAY TO CUT
GOVERNMENT EXPENSES

John E. Miles, who will become COVER
nor of New Mexico Jan. l, is likely to
become a man after the taxpayers own
Slearts. He's in line for lifetime job as
governor if he does what he says he will.
In Los Angeles this week, the visiting
governor-elect said he planned to con-
solidate five New Mexico state depart
ments now handling labor affairs. And,
as if that weren't enough, he further an
nounced that he will try to reduce the
states 5-cent gas tax, the 2-cent sales tax
and an oil and mining severance tax.
The mans practically traitor to poll
tics-but oh how we'd like to see a gov
ernor like that in California
Our taxpayers would be pleasantly
amazed, we believe, at the savings which
could be effected by consolidating num-
erous state bureaus of one kind or an
other. The same thing could be done in
ths federal government and in practical
ly every other state government we've
ever known.
So, Good Luck, New Mexico.

THE WORKINGS OF
A RADICAL MIND
(Mill Valley Record

(Mill Valley Record)
The radical mind of today is the most
amazing thing imaginable. Jumping
from one crusade to another it has shown
itself irresponsible and untrustwOrthy.
irresponsible because, with a blithe spirit,
it goes on its way destroying patriotism
and religion, not necessarily unconscious
of the evil it is doing but simply not
caring about the destruction left in its
wake.
Some time ago the Record edtorially
drew attention to the fact that the So
called history written by radicals is not
to be trusted. Barnes, Beard, Josephen-
son. MilitS, Chase, Beals, are writing the
sheerest propaganda and call it history.
This is borne out by Allan Nevins in his
book, THE Gateway to History says the
New York Times
There are too many scholars nova
days, Nevins believes, whose scholarship
is altogether seective. Their resembles
house of blocks built by a child. You
have only to select the blocks of historical
incidents which suit you and you may
build any thesis you please. But such
historical structures, no matter how
much they are shot through with the
minutiae of historical evidence prove
nothing. A few documents, few eX-
tracts from memoirs, letters and news
papers knitted adroitly together do not
constitute history. They do not even con-
stitute good journalism. They represent
propaganda.
"Mr. Nevins informs us that Walter
Mills used irony in order to pillory Nc
Kinley as shallow politician and Wood
row Wilson as an egOtiSt-greatly under
standing the difficulties and perpleXities
of both"
This sort of writing, utterly untrust-
worthy as history, finds eager acceptance
by radical thought of today.

Famous Sayings
Bruce Cation Saws

It was somehow surprising 10
read of the death the other day
OF Chicago's famous alderman,
"Bathouse John" Coughlin The
man belonged to another. era; he
was a set piece from the day OF
the muckrakers, and it was hard to
realize that he had survived into
these post depression times.
Alderman Coughlin was a pictm-
esque figure-a canny, dapper, iov-
ial person with a flair for writing
verse and a marvellous sense of
political realism. And although it
was this picturesqueness of his
which made him famous, he was a
significant figure in American poll
tics-a man whose career is deep
ly instructive for all students Of
the ms and outs of democracy.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-11-24

The ward boss is familiar
creature in our municipal life, and
Coughlin was typical of the breed
In alliance with the equally-famouS
"Hinky Dink' Kenna, he ruled the
first ward of Chicago for decades,
delivering its votes with monoton
Gus regularity and battening OIL the
time-honored mainstays of privi-
lege, protection and perquisites.
Naturally enough, he was eXecrated
by the good people who are panied
by civic corruption and miSrule;
yet somehow he held his place to
the end. and the periodic waves of
reform never unseated him.
For the reformerS seldom under
stand the Bathhouse Johns and the
Hinky DinkS. Usually they look on
such men as the causes of corrupt
government, whereas in reality
they are the symptoms OF it. And
it is that little fact which makes
the career of a man like Coughlin
worth study.
The ward boss doesn't exist in a
vacuum. Like all other social in
Stitutions. he arises because he is
needed He is the product of forces
which our social organization sets
in motion, and the only way to end
the kind of government he repre-
sents is to change those forces.

A note of criticism was placed
against organizations using mimeo-
graph machines, to put out circulars.
Members of the Typographical
Union explained that much of the
printing consumed in Montana is
shipped in from other states. This
practice is condemned by the organi-
cation, as it has a tendency to keep
members of their organization from
employment and also draws money
out of the state to other commercial
centers. Members of the Typo
graphical Union brought out that
use of mimeograph machines should
be confined strictly within the pre-
cincts of the person using it, and
should not be used for general cir
culation and that business firms and
unions and individuals should be
patriotic enough to buy their printing
in the town in which they live.
