PRINTING THE NEWS
Alameda IimeS-Star)


Let's get this thing straight about the
kind of news you read in the newspapers
AT club meetings, at conventions, and
sometimes from the pulpit you hear the
papers panned for printing stories about
Mrs. NJ. training her husband with
slX-gun; Tilted lover horsewhips his rival
on a downtown street; rich mans wife
on way to Reno: Mrs. Z. abducted by
Mr.. T.; axe slayer pickles his victims,
and on and on embracing the entire scope
of misbehayior and devilshness.
Well, here's the point: The papers do
not make the news. The news is made
by people and their daily doings. The
chances are you will find news of other
kinds in every edition if you look for it.
If some Of the news is bitter and scandal
Gus, publishers are sorry. If news is
sweet and constructive, publishers are
happy. But news is news regardless.
Publishers would much rather fill their
papers with such items as DR.. X. retires
and marks paid all of the old bills on
his books; rich man donates 100000 of
the money he has made here to build
an addition to the hospital; minister
announces that never again will pleas
for money be sounded from the pulpit;
thousand wives resign downtown jobs so
thousand husbands may have them;
motorists band together in resolve to
drive carefully and mean it and on and
on.
But you get the idea.

to your severest critics and hon
estly seek their advice? II you do
four things will happen.
/. You will make a friend of your
critic He will be immensely
pleased to have you seek his adj
vice.
, You will learn something. We
learn more from our critics than
from our blind, mquestioning adj
mirers.
3. You will broaden your out
look.
4. You will increase your SELF
respect because it takes a big man
to do what Baldwin did.
On bright nights, two or three
men set up telescopes on And
Street opposite the public library,
and charge five to ten cents for
look at the moon. I watched
couple Of these star-gaZing mer-
chants operate the other night. The
man who charged ten cents a look
was getting four times as many
cash customers as the man who
charged only a nickel. Why? Well
for one thing, you looked through
q bigger telescope for ten cents
But the main reason for the finan-
cial success of the larger telescope
was the personality of the man in
charge of it. He had one of the
most magnetic and irresistible quail
ties on earth; enthusiasm. He rad
lated it. He talked about the stars
with such excitement that you
couldn't resist the temptation to
have a look. He made you want
to see what he saw. The man with
the nickel telescope wasn't a sales
man. He said nothing; he merely
took orders.
Here were two men in the same
line of business. doing business
within a few feet of each other,
both selling the same thing-a look
at the moon. Yet one Of these men
was taking in five times as much
money as mis- competitor. Why?
Because the successful man had en-
thusi2sm. He was tremendously
interested in his subject and he
wanted to tell you about it. If
you want to get ahead in life, culti-
Vate enthusiasm. 1t is priceless.
The late King George V of Eng
land had these words hanging on
the wall of his library: Teach me
neither to cry for the moon nor
over split milk
Why not pause and ask yourself
how much Of your unhappiness is
due to either crying for the lunar
CRIB or bemoaning the loss of cream
that has already disappeared down
the kitchen sink.
Old stuff. Sure it is old stuff;
but the man who ruled over one
fifth of the human race needed to
be reminded Of it every day. So
do you and I.

LABOR WARS MAKE
GHOST TOWN

(GrasS Valley UnlOn)
Filtering across the country, more by
word of mouth than the printed page
is the sad story of the once capital of
rubber, Akron, Ohio. From all accounts
Akron = strike-ridden for months = is
headed for a ghost era more corrosive
than that which grips some of our once
vivid mining towns. Vacant streets and
blinded windows proclaim large city
swept of its industries, left a veritable
she'll
And that the shadow of the same sort
of catastrophe is upon San Francisco
is only too apparent. No need to recount
here the devious ways in which the Getty
Indifferent to Fate" has been brought
face to face with Fate to which she cam
not much longer remain indifferent.

One reason why Hollywood has

is because producers figgered the
public would like whatever they
did. Now they're beginnin' to take
the advice of the theatre managers
over the country because they real
ize managers are the boys that
know what the public wants.
Not long ago big producer visit
eo a little town where his picture
was being shown for the first time.
When the audience started to boo
and hiss the picture, the producer
turned TO the little manager and
says, Listen at those people: de-

wants" The manager says, well,

REMOVE DUPLICATION
IN RELIEF SETUP

Proposition No. on the Nov. ballot
has one principal aim.
1t is to remove duplication in the ad-
ministration of California relief.
This is another matter in which the
legislature is powerless to act; in fact,
the amendment would place in the hands
of the legislature this very power to act,
which is the cornerstone of democracy.
Under the existing relief system the
state relief administrator staff and the
state department of social welfare dupli-
cate one another in many administrative
and operative functions.
In the name of economy alone the
amendment would be justified, but an
other potent reason brings us to favor
this proposition. It places the duties of
law making in the hands of the legisla-
ture, where they should be.
In short, it 'unfreezes" an undesirable
provision now frozen into the constitu-
tion. Vote Yes.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-10-28
NECESSARY BUT
HIGHLY TECHNICAL

If there is any one proposition on the
Nov g. ballot that will cause voters to
close their eyes. jab helter-skelter with
the little rubber stamp, and then wonder
if they have voted wisely, it is PROPOSE
tion No. 6, proposed senate constitutional
amendment.
The proposed amendment, its heading
says, declares insurance companies and
associations shall be taxed 90 per cent
upon amount of gross premiums less
return premiums, received upon business
done in this state subsequent to Dec. 81
1887 -" There is a lot more, along the
same trend.
The proposal is so highly technical
that not one out of 100 voters will under
stand it. Yet it Is necessarily placed up
on the ballot because it seeks to accom-
plish something the state legislature is
without power to do.
An argument in favor of the measure
was written by two of the most conserva-
tive state senators III California, Ray W.
Hays Of Fresno county and I. II. DeLap
of Contra Costa county. This fact in
dicates assurance that the measure is in
no way sn attempt by left-wing elements
needlessly to penaliZe business merely
because it is business.
The amendment is necessary because
of technical ruling last January by the
supreme court which had the effect of
losing to the state an estimated S1000,-
900 in revenue. This proposal would not
materially increase taxation on insur-
ance companies; it would merely clarity
the legal atmosphere around insurance
taxation and make up for the revenue
lost through the court ruling.
Our recommendation on Proposition
No. 6 is, "Vote Yes"

Editorials and Comment
FRIDAY OCTOBER %, 1888.
Bruce Cation Says

The United States government is
a great institution, and it does
things which no other government
in all history ever did before. As
for instance during the fiscal year
1888 it collected in internal revenue
taxes approximately $5,659, 900, 600
largest sum which any government
ever collected in any 12-month
period.
After a figure gets about so high
it ceases to have any meaning.
Perhaps We can better understand
it by realizing that this amounts
to just about a quarter of the en-
tire worlds stock of monetary
gold-all of the metal that has
been mined since the discovery OF
America. the product of Inca mines
and California and Alaskan gold
boomS. of Australian rushes and
South African bonanzaS. Four cen
turies of gold-hunting would pay
for just four years like this last
one. And with all of that, our gov
ernment still operates at deficit
Nor is the end in sight. Relief
and public works are still with us,
to say nothing of agricultural sur
pluses and the army and navy.
We are about to launch new pre-
parednesS program and double the
size of our air force No, we can
hardly hope that this particular
kind of record breaking finance is
going to end in the immediate fu-
ture.
But perhaps it will be worth all
it costs if it compels us to re-eX-
anime the whole question of the
relationship between government
and citizen. For the world today
seems to be sweeping along a road
which leads to greater and greater
Of the individual to
the state. In some lands that sub
ordination is complete; man exists
for the state, he may read and
speak and act and even think only
as the state directs, and his life
and property are in every detail at
the disposal of the state
We have not reached or even aD-
preached that point in this country.
Given halfway decent luck and the
exercise Of ordinary intelligence,
We need not approach il. Yet this
colossal tax collection may help
us to understand that the tendency
to approach it does exist, that the
trend in human affairs is running
that way.
The remedy, unfortunately. is not
simple. It is easy to say, "Cut down
the cost Of government" but very
hard to suit action to the words.
And in the long run we can protect
ourselves against this trend only
by remembering constantly the old
est truth of American democracy
that government exists to serve the
and that as a general thing
it serves him best by leaving him
alone.
There may be emergencies in
which it can't leave him alone;
times when it must spend huge
sums to give him service or pro-
lection that he can't get for him
self. Then costs go up and taxes
mount. But we can keep govern
ment from developing, through
these emergency activities, into a
colossus that is our master rather
than our servant. And our natural
antipathy to the tax-collector ought
to help us keep that in mind.

FRESNO KEEPS
THE LID ON GAMBLING
Exeter SUM

Exeter SUM
Mayor Homan of Fresno is to be con-
graduated on his stand against the tax
ing the lid off gambling in his city just
because a few merchants have complain
ed that il is hurting business.
Just what kind of a businessman is it
who believes that gambling is good for
business? Certainly no businessman
whose success depends on the staples of
existence. 1t may be true that a few
gamblers will leave Fresno, but their
loss will be more than made up by divert
ing the stream of dollars out of their
pockets and back into the channels of
legitimate trade.
Few who buck the gambling games
realize just how much the take" of the
men who run the games amounts to until
it is too late. Many a family which is in
debt can trace its misfortune to the
gambling weakness of the head of the
family.
Mayor Homan has done a good thing
in closing and keeping closed Fresno's
gaming tables. which were rapidly be-
coming the fine city's disgrace While
a few of the merchants may squaWk
about the lack of gambling hurting bust
ness, many others will find their bust
ness better and their bills not so hard
