INVESTMENT FOR
The FUTURE
(TurlOck Daily Journal }

All observers, whatever their political
hue or social creed, are agreed upon one
thing-that the nations foundation, in
the future, is built upon the youth of to-
day, and that it is built for good or i'll
according to the way we train our youth
and according to the opportunities which
we provide for them.
Several organizations in Turlock have
united to support move for the con-
struction of youth center here, which
would provide facilities for the various
boys and youths groups in the commun-
ity. These organizations, with the aid,
it might be added, of the city govern
ment, now are pushing their efforts to-
wards completion.
This youth center" is an eminently
worthy project and deserves support of
the entire community. No community
girls with facilities for wholesome recre
alton and supervised group activities.
Indeed, it is the lack of such facilities,
in our large urban districts, which has
been blamed by sociologists and law en-
forcement and crime experts for contri-
buting to juvenile crime.
Turlock rightly will be able to take
pride in this project when the projected
youth center becomes an accomplished
fact. And as the the years pass, this
community will find it is an investment
upon which the returns are more than
ample.
Such project as this is a monument
to foresightedness- virtue which these
days is all too often found wanting. In
what way, indeed, could Turlok offer bet
ter evidence of consideration of the future
than by providing for its youths-the fu-
ture citizens of Turlock?

A MELTING POT
BUBBLES
(CMistidn Science M0nitor)

Not all the traffic encountrede on Am
erican highways consists of travellers on
relaxation bent A considerable portion
of it, according to Washington's Bureau
of Agricultural Economics, has been
made up of approximately 100000
rural residents who, in 1898, moved away
from farms. The flow has been further
thickened by 100000 families en- route
from towns and cities to resume the till
ing of the soil. This mighty migration,
according to bureau statistics, places the
nations pastoral population close to the
all-time record of 1910.
Apprehension that this flocking to the
farms will further defeat a lasting solu
tion of the surplus crop problem is large
ly allayed by the reassuring report that
the demand is not for yesterdays multi
acred agrarian establishments but for
timer establishments for subsistence
farming-plots intended to provide only
for the immediate food needs of the fami
lies dwelling upn them.
Rather than complicate the crop sur
plus problem, this tendency toward small
er rural holdings points the way to a pos
sible solution. For the spectacle of an
agrarian army on the march toward the
cities with another almost equal force
of e-urban dwellers moving in to replace
them signifies that the laven Of eXper
ience is working that agriculture is in fer
ment.
Instead of deploring the vast city-tof
farm and farm-to-city movements, far
visioned observers, peering some centur-
les into the future, glimpse more nor
mally balanced America, whose small
farming citizen cultivate, in addition to
the conventional fruits of the field, a rich
crop of contentment, with the remaining
larger agricultural holdings ministering
to the gastronomic needs of the city
dweller whose duties keep them from the
land.

Bruce Cation IN WASHINGTON
Disseets the News

WASHINGTON.-The naming of
Paul v. McNutt as head of the
new Federal Security Agency was
two kinds of politics in one.
From the practical, letIs-win-
elections standpoint it was about
as smart piece of politics as the
capital has seen in long time.
point, which thinks in terms of
From the more idealistic view
statecraft rather than immediate
political advantage, it was some
thing else again.
Take the first angle first. The
politics for two reasons:
FIRST, McNutt is an avowed
and active candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination in 1940 He has
a good organization already built
up and he goes after what he wants
with lots of energy. Potentially, he
was a distinct threat to the New
Dealers desire to put a. man of
their own choice in the White
House after 1910
SECOND, the New Deal has
tried to build up various candi-
dates for the nomination and each
of them has flopped. Hopkins.
Wallace, Jackson not one has
shown any sign of possessing the
driving, vote getting capacity that
the 1910 candidate has got to
have.
The McNutt nomination gets
around both of these difficult
ties. 1t makes pal out of Nc
. Nutt-and it gives him an un-
rivaled chance to strut his stuff
Il he does a good job in his new
position, and also sells himself
both to the inner circle and to the
country at large as a dyed-in-
the-Wool New Dealer liberal, it is
taken for granted that he becomes
the official crown prince.
If he flops he can be more or
less painlessly dropped; if he
doesn't flop the long hunt for a
vote-getter who can carry the
White House blessing ends.
But if the neatness of this po-
l.tical maneuver took Democratic
politicians here by surprise, the
utter uneXpectedness of it has the
altruistic, socially minded section
of the New Deal fairly gasping for
breath.
The head of the Social Security
Agency will be one of the most
important men in the government.
Under him will be the Social Sc
curity Board, the Public Health
Service, the Civilian Conservation
Corps, the National Youth Admin
istration and the U. S. Employ
ment Service.
Thses agencies are, and have
to be, 100 per cent non-political
in nature if they are to be worth

SECTION I: Ordinance No. So
entitled "An ordinance providing
for the assessment and collection
of City taxes is hereby amended by
adding thereto a section to be
numbered 60, which shall read as
follows:
In all cases where property has
been sold to the City on or before
July S, 1899, for delinquent taxes,
and the right of redemption has
not been terminated, any person en-
titled to redeem the property, ex-
cept as otherwise provided in this
section, may, at any time before
September l, 1899, redeem the prop
erty by paying the amount of un-
paid taxes and assessments. without
penalties for delinquency, costs, re-
demption penalties or interest.
Except as provided in this section,
such redemption shall be made in
the usual manner.
A person who, on January l,
1899, was not the owner or person
otherwise entitled to redeem any
property may not redeem such prop
erty under this section.
All applications to redeem under
this section shall be accompanied
by an affidavit of the person seek
ing to redeem, stating:
(a) That the applicant was the
owner or person otherwise entitled
to redeem the property on January
/, 1885,
(b) That the applicant, has not
transferred, conveyed, or otherwise
disposed of the property subsequent
to January 1, 1899;
SECTION II: The City Council
hereby declares that this ordinance
is an emergency measure necessary
for the immediate preservation of
the public peace, health and safety,
and that this ordinance shall, here
fore, go into immediate effect. The
facts constituting the necessity are
as follows: Due to the widespread
depression, many taxpayers have
been unable to pay their taxes or
to redeem their property from sale
to the City for delinquency. BY

STRICT PARTY VOTE

President Roosevelt has taken If on the

MOST OF his pet projects have been scrap

major victory OF recent weeks, that which
restored TO him power TO devalue the dol

hlgh pressure salesmanship, with every
New Deal weapon called into play
Perhaps congress has been right; per-
haps it has been wrong. More likely if
was partly right and partly wrong.
Neither congress nor the President can
be wrong all of the time
me encouraging thing about recent
congressional action is that il has not
been based upon strict division of DEM
ocrats and Republicans. The dangerous
thing about it is that the vote against

partly Democratic, is almost entirely
