THE WRONG DEFENSE
AGAINST RELIEF POLITICS

We are inclined 10 welcome the ac-
tion of the senate IN refusing to adopt
a recovery bill amendment which would
have prevented all persons receiving
wages and salaries under the bill from
taking an active hand in political con-
ventionS, primaries or other elections.
We welcome the action. first of all,
because we believe the proposed amend
ment would have been unconstitutional.
Every American, whether he is on re-
lief or off, has a right 10 do as he pleaseS
in politics as long as he observes the
laws set up to keep out dishonesty.
We do not believe one cent of public
relief money should be used in an at
tempt, consciously or otherwise, to influ-
ence one single vote. We do not believe
patronage should play any part in dis
tribution of the relief funds. We believe
anyone who attempts to influence votes
by use of relief funds should be oStra-
ciZed.
But an attempt to prevent relief clients
from taking part in any form of politics
would be like climbing ladder from the
top down. Only the amendment tries to
go from the bottom up.
If political use of relief furdS is to
be prevented, the place TO begin is the
top. Congress had an opportunity to
begin there by specifying to what use
the funds should be put. The opportu-
nifty was neglected. It has another chance
to begin at the top by providing rigid
penalties for any relief official-whether
he is Harry Hopkins himself or some
minor big-Wig-who tries to tell relief
recipients how they should vote.
In other words, congress should pre-
vent any attempt TO buy votes with re-
lief money, but it should not try to pre-
vent those who receive relief money from
fulfilling their political destinies if they
wish. 1t should prevent patronage, not
shackle freedom

GRASS VALLEY AGITATORS
RUN OUT BY MINERS
{. II. deuel. in Chico RecOrd)

~ IL i'1Al0i Ill lllCO hGCOIuJ
When the hardy citizens of Grass Val
ley and Nevada City. pioneer mining
communities Of the Sierra. had their pa
tience exhausted by interminabe differ
enceS between labor leaders. they took
action. It WAS action not according to
law and the statutes, but it was effective.
The great mass of the citizens of these
twin cities have their livelihood from the
miners, either directly or indirectly. They
have SO had their livelihood since early
days and down through two or three
generations the hardy, hard-rock miners
nave blasted the bowels of the earth
Their families, their homes, their very
existence depended upon the mines. They
were content with wages, hours. working
conditions. And when outside organizers
came in, lied strikes. intimidated work
ers, set up picket lines, there was no
popular community response. And final
ly when the strike leaders could not or
would not compose their differences,
and when the right to work became inn
perlled, these communities did what i'm
ported agitators might have known they
would do
Today there is peace and quiet in that
section of the Mother Lode. The pickets
are gone. the headquarters of the strike
organizers silent and closed.
The agitators were given the run. es-
corted to the county line and told to de-
part for other pastures. The strike =
which never was a Strike-was ended
The action of the citizens of Grass Val
ley and Nevada City will be widely de
nounced. There will be allegations of the
violation of civil rights. of violence
against personal liberty. There always
is when beef squads" are in turn sub
jected to their own methods.
The incidents occurring at these noun
tain communities. undoubtedly unlawful
as they were, may operate to promote
peace in other parts of rural California
They will be discouraging to professional
agitators and organizers who make liv-
ing fOmenting trouble in communities
not opposed to legitimate unionism and
to sound and legitimate labor Organiza-
tions; communities which are willing to
confer and consult with their own re-
Sponsible people interested in advancing

NOTHING TO GET

First deaths of rabld animals in 1mpe-

few days ago. Others will probably fol-
low as the summer goes on. The result
will be that some people will be fright

They shouldn't be.
Rabies among animals, like mob action
among people, is best controlled by calm
action. The person who becomes fright
ened is liable to destroy perfectly we'll
animal - somebody's pet besides get
ting himself in highly nervous state.
Control and prevention of rabies should
be undertaken by everyone who owns a
dog, however, to save the lives of other
animals and perhaps of other persons.
Control is very simplicity vaccination.
Anyone who owns a dog should feel suf-
ficient affection for the animal to look
out for its welfare and in this particular
instance that is best accomplished by
taking precautionary steps.

The radio industry isn't alone in this

Famous Sayings
Bruce Cation Says
The Oppressed Minority in Czeehoslovakia

Most of us are pretty cynica'
nowadays about that great slogan
of the World War--"Make the
world safe for democracy"
BY and large, there is substanti-
ally less democracy in Europe now
that there was in 1914, and the
democracy that remains seems i'll
a fair way to diminish. If those
four horrible years were indeed
devoted to saving democracy, one
can only say that they were tragi-
cally wasted.
