MEMBER
A Benefit HAM-EGGS MAY
BRING TO THE STATE

Even those who have studied the pro-
posed Retirement Life Payments Act
closest, read it most thoroughly, and
realized most clearly the grave damage
it would do the social and economic struc-
ture of this state, must admit that it may
bring to the state one benefit which
many far saner proposal has failed to
accomplish.
An announcement from Ham and
Eggs headquarters a few days ago show
ed the way Ham-Eggs headquarters
wrote to the secretary of states office,
asking for latest registration figures
with the explanation they were wanted
for use in 1910 campaign if the pres
ent one fails.
SO it appears that Californians, even
though they defeat the wierd pension
scheme Nov Z, will have to vote on it
again in 1910, and probably in every cleo
tion thereafter until they become so
sick and tired Of it that they take action
to prevent such thorough-going waste
of taxpayers money for the profit of a
few promoters.
When the people do take such action,
the state will have gone a long ways to-
ward political sanity. If it takes such
thing as the Ham-and-Eggs plan to bring
it about, we shall see again proof of the
aged saying that every cloud has a silver
lining.
Those engaged in promoting the pen
sion scheme, making luxurious livings
out of the 30-centS-a-month contributions
of needy aged persons, naturally do not
want to let it drop. They can be eX-
pected to milk the scheme for all it is
worth. In order to do that, they will con-
tinue to agitate for its adoption into law
until something happens to stop them.
That something must be another law,
one placing greater restrictions around
California's initiative and referendum
practice. This states present procedure
has become a nationwide joke. For Cali
fornia, it is a costly joke. Each proposal
on the ballot costs the taxpayers thou
sands of dollars, even if it is defeated
If the Ham-and-Eggs plan is defeated
Nov. Z, as it should be, and if its promot-
ers refuse to abide by the twice-repeated
decision of the people after that, some
method should be devised to prevent
them from costing the state more money,
and from gouging more pennies out of
those who can i'll afford to lose them.

Editorials and Comment
SUNDAY OCTOBER 20, 1899
UNITED STATES OF
EUROPE JUST A DREAM
Riverside Press

From time to time we have read
thought-inspiring comments on the ad
vantages of a United States of Europe
and the effect it would have on world
affairs.
Only an optimist, however, would pre-
dict that out of the present war union
of federated states will emerge in Eu-
rope. Unfortunately half dozen wars
within the next few centuries may be
required to force home a few practical
political facts upon that long embattled
continent.
One such practical fact is the United
States of America populated, settled,
and made great by people from other
countries. But greatness and compara-
tive peace would scarcely have graced
this continent, following Europe's war
scared example. if our English, French,
Italian, German and innumerable other
settlers had quarreled and ceaselessly
fought to establish a swarm of separate
independent nations on this continent.
In the dark days before 1889 some
thing like that very nearly happened.
Our states acted virtually like sovereign
nations, flung up tariff walls against
each other, issued their own currency
and led General Washington to fear
chaos and disruption as inevitable. Only
federal union of sovereign states, not
federal nations, averted the impending
catastrophe.
If Europe truly seeks way to end
the violent gusts of warfare that have
swept over her peoples for over 2000
years she can find in the United States
practical working plan-not vision
ary scheme-under which many states
and many nationalities compose one
united nation.
But unless and until Europe acquires
a new tradition it will doubtless continue
to follow the old one of fire and sword.

War Aims Shaped as World Watches

nent each proposes to make if it

make less likely the repetition OF

lust as the outbreak of the present
European war found all countries
better prepared for it than in 1914,
so the coming of peace, which must
follow sometime, should find the
|peacemakers better prepared with
plans for a promising settlement
Dr. Julian Huxley, the eminent
British biologist and writer, for
example, has been applying his
mind to the problem, not uncon-
scious of the possible effect of an
|nounced war aims on neutrals. Our
statement. he writes, must pro-
wide a platform on which neutral
countries, too, can take their stand,
with a view to playing an active
|part in the eventual settlement
Thus the influence of neutrals is
shown TO be powerful in the war.
World opinion is important even
lin these days of force.
President Wilson was keenly con-
!scious of this power of neutrals
in the early days of the World
War. Many of his actions we're
guided by his determination to do
nothing which would prejudice the
position of the United States as a
possible mediator. Many of the po-
|licies of the warning powers then,
IS now, were carefully studied with
a view to whether or not they
would attract neutral opinion to
their cause.
So men Of HuXley'S caliber today
|are clear on this: the only war
settlement that can possibly attract
neutral support, and the only war
inns that can possibly draw neu-
raj sympathy, are such as give
promise of adjusting basic pro-

VOTE YES ON NO. 5
(Alhambra Times-Star)

Citizens of California will have an op-
portunity on November to determine
for themselves whether a minority of
approximately 10 per cent of the states
oil producers shall continue to force
wasteful methods on the industry which
entail loss each year of millions of gal
Ions of oil, or whether these resources
shall be preserved for the people-their
rightful owners.
AS one of the only two remaining OIL
producing states without conservation
laws for this vital resource, California
each year loses millions of gallons of oil
through both surface and underground
waste, which can never be recovered.
Check of figures in the office of Oil
Umpire j. R. Pemberton indicate plainly
that this small minority of approximate
ly 10 per cent of the operators, through
consistent overproduction in defiance of
the industry's voluntary curtailment eff
fort, have caused that system to become
utterly ineffective.
a Eyes" vote on Proposition on the
November ballot will place in effect
the oil and gas conservation measure
which has already been passed by the
Legislature, signed by the Governor, and
approved by the president, and request
ed by the navy department, the large
majority of the oil operators, and work
ers in the industry itself.
Under the terms of this measure waste
will be eliminated, the market and the
industry stabilized, employment for the
workers assured, and the navy's vital oil
supplies protected without cost to the
taxpayer.

The DIES COMMITTEE
AND It's LIST

If the Dies committee made any mis-
take in publishing the list of those fed
eral officials who are either members or
on the mailing list of the Communist
front American league for Peace and
Democracy, the mistake was in not weed
ing out those who are merely on the mail
ing list, and not members.
1t is probable that some federal Off
cials on the mailing list were there
through no volition of their own-might
not, in fact, have agreed at all with the
pinkish aims of the radical organization.
Their names should not have been pub
lished.
AS for those who are members of the
radical organization, there is no logical
argument why they should be protected
from publicity. Their status in federal
employment, in fact, should make it
more advisable than ever to publish the
list If they as federal officials are en-
gagged in radical activities, the people
have the right to know it. They are no
more entitled to protection than is Fritz
Kuhn, leader Of the German-American
bund
If the Dies committee erred, the error
was a small one compared to the good
it did by throwing the light of publicity
on radicalism in high places.

WASHINGTON A half billion
dollar government corporation,
which would try to cushion the
sharp swings of boom and depres-
sion by buying industrial products
in bad times and selling them in
good times, is projected now being
formulated by top New Deal plan
ners.
In substance, the idea is simply
an adaptation to industry Of Henry
Wallace's 'ever-normal granary'
scheme. 1t has not yet got into
the public discussion stage, but it
will probably be ready for presen-
tation to Congress sometime next
spring-perhaps early in the win
ter, if there is a business recession
The Federal Reserve Boards in
dex of industrial production stood
at 101 for January of this year,
and an a little under 100 for the
first nine months. Then, when the
European war began, it jumped;
now, on unofficial estimates, it
stands between 118 and 100.
But it isn't war demand that
caused the boom, says Commerce
Department experts! it was simply
fear of a war-created price rise.
Inventories have been built up to
forestall such a price rise, and
have gone up much faster than
consumption.
If the process continues, and if
neither an export trade boom, a
sharp increase in domestic con-
sumption nor a boost in capital
expenditures by business develops,
Imperial Valley press., 1939-10-29
Bruce Cation in Washington
Dissects the News

there will be an equally sudden
slump.
So this plan for an adaptation OF
the ever-normal granary is taking
shape.
Under the plan there would be
set up a government corporation
backed by at least half billion
of resources-possibly more.
When a slump developed, this
corporation would buy heavily OF
industrial materials-both crude
products, such as ores, non-ferrous
metals, and the like, and semi
manufactured goods.
It's purchases Ito which army
and navy purchases would be CO.
related) would serve to cushion the
slump.
Later, when another boom be-
gan. the corporation would sell the
materials it had bought. This, as
the planners see it, would check
rising prices. Manufacturers would
know that they did not need to
build up their inventories ahead of
a wave of rising prices, and hence
increased industrial activity would
be keyed more closely to actual con-
Sumption-Which, in turn, would
make the prospects of another
slump later on more remote.
In itself, say the authors of the
plan, this would not be enough
unless there was simultaneous
action by the government to stim-
ulate public consumption when a
slump set in.
That would mean more spend
ing along the traditional lines-as
via the WPA.
1t is also suggested that the
stamp plan by which surplus ag-
ricultural products are now being
disposed of to the needy be adapt
ed to manufactured goods, so that
surplus shirts and shoes as we'll be
tomatoes and apples could be moved
in that way.
Lastly, the experiments of the
plan say there must be much more
thorough collection and dissemina-
ton by the government Of week
by-week developments in regard to
the inventory situation.
Steps to set up such an infor-
nation service are already being
taken, under the general super
vision of Richard Gilbert, head oi
the Division of Industrial Eco
nomics of the Department of Com
merce.
Mr.. Gilbert sees this as the most
important part of the entire job
and is now keeping day-by day
check on production, consumption
and price trends.
