COMMON SENSE
ABOUT CONSERVATION

Americas farm conservative program
TO the average urban dweler is as much
mystery as the language of Tibet, and
even those who have made a cursOry
study of the subject sometimes go far
wrong in their conclusions So it is with
approval that we review the thoughts
expressed by Robert Wilson, state COM
mitteeman for the California farm con-
serVatlon association, on a recent visit
here.
Mr.. Wilson thinks the theory of con-
servation as expressed in Washington
is good. SO do we. 1t was necessary
that such a theory be propounded in
order to give the program a national
start, and without national observance,
it would get nowhere As far as theory
goes, the Washington project is grand.
Practical application is another thing.
Now that the conservation program is
under way, Mr.. Wilson believes, it is
time to put control into the hands of
those who know their local problems,
the county committeeman. They are the
only ones who can deal efficiently with
soil and crop conditions peculiar to the
region in which they live.
If state and national committees act
in anything but advisory capacities, it
is inevitable that some territories-such
as Imperial Valley - will suffer. The
national committee should set the ma
tional quota, the state committee should
divide the quota into state quotas. After
that it should be the job of the local
committees to see that the quotas are
filled under the most favorable circum-
stances.
The program would be more workable
than now, it seems to us, if the state
committees received their quotas on
wheat, for instance, and discharged their
duty by seeing that the allotment is not
exceeded. Under such a system, some
man in Washington would not be telling
some man in Imperial Valley that he
could not grow wheat on land the man
in Washington has never seen.
Rather, a group of men in Imperial
Valley would decide where wheat was
to grow and where it was not to grow
during the year, in accordance with soil
conditions and other local problems.
Land history may be important in the
midwest, but the way Washington ad-
ministers the law according to land
history would virtually ruin some crops
here, without helping the land or the
farmer.
When conservation committeeman meet
at Berkeley this week for their national
conference, it is our hope that their rec
concentrations include one for ironing
out this particular problem.

THANKS, NOT PUNISHMENT
DUE THESE YOUNGSTERS

Last week U. S. treasury officials at
San Francisco were considerably miffed
because two school boys, just for joke,
broke into the new U. S. mint that was
considered absolutely burglar proof,
and took copper plate for souvenir;
this week Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, the
Presidents wife, expressed public anger
at the prank of boy and girl, both 10,
who crashed" the Roosevelt family's
New Years party at the White House
"just for the fun of it"
We're somehow inclined to believe the
federal government should thank all
four youngsters. They did the govern
ment service.
The boys in San Francisco, without
doing any harm except to somebody's
feelings, showed the weakness of the
mint's defenses. The boy and girl in
Washington, without harming anything
but the First Lady's spirit of decorum,
showed how a potential assassin might
have gained access to the TEesident.

been unusually successful in solv-
ing student problems. DR.. Nomef
has been a teacher. or headmaster,
in boys schools most of his life
and has had remarkable success in
handling boys.
From IA to II is the most diff
cult age in a boys life, says DR..
Nomer. Most parents either lose
or win a boy when he is between
these years. If you haven't gained
his confidence and respect by the
time he is II, then you probably
never will These are not pleasing
words. but they come from a man
who has had wide and varied ex-
perience.
l asked him what principles he
employed, and he said he had eight,
and that if these eight were prop
erly applied almost any adoleScent
problem could be solved. I asked
him to write them down Tor me.
Here they are exactly as he applies
them:
/. Always expect the best from
a boy and he will take pride in do
ing his best.
2. Accept a boys word implicitly
even if you know he is lying
When he sees that you believe in
him, he will become ashamed of
himself and try to make up to you
for the way he has deceived you.
3. Encourage - never discourage.
Even though you don't believe in
what ne believes in. let him feel
your interest. Anyway, you may
be wrong.
4 Find out boys major inter-
est, or his hobby, and show real
interest in it. 1t is the open door
to his heart. Step through it.
5. If you must criticize, do it pri-
vately Never "call down" a boy
before his pals. This will slam
the door.
g. Here is the most difficult thing
of all for a parent to do-acknowl-
edge a mistake to his child. But
he will respect you if you admit
that you have made a mistake and
are willing to start all over again
BY the time boy is IA, he knows
that you'ree not a god.
7. Give a boy responsibility. He
will feel that you regard him as
manly. and he will work hard tC
make good. Give him chores to dC
think up responsibilities for him
g. Let your boy make his own de-
CiSionS even if you know they're
wrong He will later see the mis-
takes he has made and will be will
ing TO profit from them. Tht
strongest and sturdies tree is one
that's been whipped around by the
wind
Excellent advice, DR.. Nomer, anc
thanks for giving it to me.

GREATER AIR POWER NEEDED
{ Riverside Press)

(Riverside Press)
First suggestions from Washington
for stronger national defense probably
strike most Americans as excessive and
eXtraVagant.
but informal, proposal of an air force
of 10000 warplanes.
Even with fine and rapidly growing
facilities along construction lines it
would take a long time and great
expenditure, experts say, to produce
such a quantity of planes, with all the
landing fields, storage capacity, equip
ment, personnel, ammunition, and so on,
required for using them. And then by
the time it was completed, much of the
equipment would be obsolete.
Nevertheless it is evident we must have
as rapidly as we can produce it, much
greater air power than we have now. The
navy is necessarily our first line of de-
fense. 1t is already strong, and with
ships now building or planned it will
probably be able to take care of any
foes or emergencies now predictable.
But experts are more and more inclined
to agree that future warfare, even in
our distance protected hemisphere, will
be mainly in the air.
We cannot expect the broad Atlantic
and Pacific to protect us for more than
a few years, at the present rate of de-
velopment of aerial warfare. We GER
tainly need more modern air fleet than
we have today, and still more, we need
to develop flyers, mechanics, factories
and fighting craft for future emergen-
cies.
Fortunately, from present indications,
we are not likely to need great land
armies.

Mrs. Barry, a guest in Ell Centro
of Mrs. H. S. Bliss, expects to go
on to Los Angeles soon to confer
on possible conversion of her book
into a stage or screen production.
Il believe the people of the
United States and the world
should know how much was missed
in culture and civilization by the
treatment afforded the American
Indians Mrs. Barry declared, in
condemning the avarice and sell
fishness that resulted in the 'van-
ishing" of the vanishing Ameri-
cans.
I'm the course of time it is in
evitable that some races should
dominate and others become sec
ondary under the law of the sur
vival of the fittest. However, with
any lost race there is much to
learn of value, and that is what
the white man has overlooked re-
garding the Indian" Mrs. Barry
continued.
1T is too late to help the race
of American Indians materially"
she said. But it is not too late
to salvage much of their culture.
Mrs. Barry could see no brill
liant future for present day In
dians. They will always be gov
ernment wards she declared.
Although it will be many, many
years, if ever" before they are
absorbed by the white race"
Mrs. Barry's interest in Indian
came naturally through her child
hood in Oklahoma, where she gath
cred much of the lore included in
her book. 1t was in her sisters
home, Mrs. Walter Ferguson of
Tulsa that Edna F'erber stayed
while gathering material for her
novel Cimarron, which dealt with
early Oklahoma days.

DID YOU VOTE
ON PROPOSITIONS?
(Santa Barbara News-Press)


Since the November 8 general election
the California state legislatures legis-
lative counsel at Sacramento has receiv-
ed requests for the preparation of $50
new bills to be presented to the new
legislature. Between the last session of
the legislature and November requests
for the preparation of 200 other bills
were presented to the legislative counsel.
On the basis of this number of bills the
aSSemblymen and state senators have
thought up between sessions, it is pre-
dicted in Sacramento that the new legis-
lature will exceed the 1887 legislatures
record of 1882 bills, resolutions and
amendments.
On and some weeks prior to the No
Vember 8 general election Cahfornia'S
3,500,000 registered voters were entirely
"bogged down" mentally by the study
of only 25 measures presented as pro-
positions on the general election ballot.
In general there is no difference be-
tween the $50 bills already in prepara-
tion by the legislature counsel at Sacra-
mento, or the more than 1882 measures
expected from the new legislature, and
the % measures the voters struggled with
on and before November 8.
Those who really tried to vote intelli-
gently on the 25 propositions cannot
hope for very thorough Legislative un-
derstanding of more than 1882 measures
expected to be presented to California's
Legislature within the next few months.

Olson Predicts
3rd Term for FIR

SACRAMENTO, Jan. A. CUP) -
Gov. Culbert L. Olson, addressing
the annual convention of the Cali
fornia Federation of Democratic
Women's clubs here last night, pre-
dicted President Roosevelt would
be drafted for a third term if the
Democratic party is unable to
choose a Roosevelt liberal.
Olson, who processes to be in full

approached President Roosevelt in
Washington recently and urged
him, regardless of precedent, to
seek a third term to keep party
control in the hands of liberal
forces. He did not divulge the

An Economist S
Viewpoint
By John T. Flynn

It is reported that the Securities
and Exchange Commission is being
called off" in its study of the
Trans-America Corporation. The
report is easily credited.
1t is said that every English IN
dian official has his pet Indian,
every German Nazi his pet jew.
Every Democratic administration
since the Democrats began to live
on corporate denunciation-has its
favorite corporation. Every New
Dealer has his pet economic royal
ist And, while the banks have
been pretty generally badgered by
the administration one great bank
has found itself singularly free.
This is the Trans-America Corpora
ton. the vast bank holding COM
pany which spreads over California
and into other states, including
New York.
The Trans America was we'll
favored under Hoover. One of the
oldest of the odd loans of the
RFC was not the 90 million dollar
loan to Vice President Dawes bank
but the hundred million dollar loan
to the Trans-America. 1t was the
biggest and most secret
But when Hoover went cut of
power, Mr.. Giannini, master of this
great institution, turned up as an
ardent friend of the New Deal.
And he has remained so to this
day.
Following the bank troubles Of
the Hoover days. a great outcry
went up against the evils of hold
ing company banking particularly
the kind in which the holding COM
pany that ran the bank also went
In for all sorts of other business
as we'll
An argument can be made for
holding company banking It is
not a good argument but at least
it has some substance in it. 1t en-
ableS single concern to operate a
number of unit banks in a wide
variety of places. uniting the bene-
fits OF central management with the
benefits of the widest autonomy in
local management. But no argu-
ment can be made for 9, holding
company which operates a lot of
banks and at the same time oper-
ateS hotels, real estate develop
ments, life insurance companies,
fire insurance companies and a
score Of other enterprises as well.
This is what the Trans-America
Corporation does and not one finger
has been raised by banking author
tiles to correct this sort of thing.
But the SEC did raise a finger.
1t found in its investment trust
investigation an investment trust
hidden away among the compli-
Gated assets of the Trans-America.
But investigating that investment
trust without investigating the
banks and all the other corporate
gadgetS of Trans-America was i'm
possible, just as investigating a
bank held up by holding company
is almost impossible.
AT this point the SEC proceeded
to investigate the holding company.
But apparently it was reckoning
without the McAdoos and OCon-
norS and other Democratic politi-
clans in California. But they could
not call off the SEC.
The question then is-who did it?

a pretty good sort of habit; for the

Bruce Cation Says
- Here's to New Years Resolutions

in a good deal of doubt; and our
only recourse then is the traditional
recourse of the mariner-to look at
the stars, remind ourselves of our
charted course, and be guided ac-
cordingly
1t is our unfailing reminder that
in spite of the doubt and diScour-
agement of the daily round we
were somehow born of something
deathleSs, and put on this earth to
serve a purpose that is greater
than ourselves.
If we ever lose touch completely
with that fact, we are lost indeed.
Perhaps a good part of the worlds
woes today have come because there
has developed a widely held theory
that only the hardest motives of
self-interest can move men.
The theory takes many guiSeS,
and is used to bolster everything
from agitation for class warfare to
the sultry ambitions of military
dictatorship; but by all that men
in the past have found worth living
by it is a lie, and world that pays
TOO much heed to it is in for some
serious trouble.
If man is. as we like to believe,
a perfectible creature, the perfect
ibility assuredly begins at home;
and this New Years custom of cast
ing out old failingS and pledging
allegiance to better modes of con-
duct is a good way to begin working
for it.
So-all of the old jokes notwith-
standing-here is to your New
Years resolutions. They may with
er speedily, but something of them
will survive.
And year by year that something
will grow in the hearts of men,
until finally We begin to resemble
our ideals and to be worthy of our
dreams.
