After SeVefaI hearings, granted to
opponents Of the Bigelow proposed
amendments to the Ohio constitu-
ton, Secretary of State Earl Griffith
on September IL rejected their plea
to throw out all petitions where some
of the signatures were invalid, up
held the validity of the petitions, and
certified that 67,795 signatures still
were needed to put the proposal on
the ballot.
We are forced to conclude" said
Secretary Griffith, '.that the assump-
ton Of sufficiency is carried by every
petition having apparent sufficient
signatures and proper verifcat;on,
and that the burden of proof is on
the objectors to prove its insuffic-
iency."
The sponsors of the petitions have
until September % to obtain addi-
tional signatures. In a statement
given out when the petitions were
fled, Mr.. Bigelow contended they
are holding 100000 additional sig
natures in reserve in case they are
needed.
Ohio's quota of the 1900 air

nounced September 8 by the State
Director Of Aeronautics. The Ohio
quota was fixed by the Civil Aero

latory body which administers the
civil pilot training act recently pas
sed by congress. These pilots will
be trained through cooperation with
universities and, altho limit of
SO students has been set for each
institution, efforts are being made to
raise this to 100 for Ohio State Uni
versity because of its excellent ia
cilities and the ideal airport posi-
bHities around Columbus. The regu-
lations provide for a ground school
course of 72 hours to be given on
the college campus and between 35
and so hours of flight instruction at
nearby flying school already oper-
ating in the community. The in
auguration of ground school classes
is scheduled for October /, with
flight instruction to begin about
November /.
The 27th annual meeting of the
Ohio History Association will be
held Sunday afternoon, October /,

At the beginning of this year the
state owed to the school districts
operating under the Ohio School
Foundation some $17,000,000. The
present state administration has un-
dertaken to finance that deficit and
put the schools on cash basis.
State Treasurer Don H. Ebright re-
ports that 698 school districts, APP
proxoimately one-third of those in
the state, have now cmpleted the re-
funding of their school foundation
notes and before the end Of this year
al Of the remaining notes will be
refunded, the state appropriating for
both the principal and interest
charges. The present administra-
tion has promptly met all payments
due to date under the School Foun-
dationdation Program, same being
paid in cash on the date due.

MEMBER
THE cow COUNTIES
MUST BEAT HAM-AND-EGGS

If the vicious Retirement Life Pay
ments act otherwise known as Ham-and-
Eggs, is to be defeated Nov Z and the
state of California saved from the worst
economic debacle in its history, the Cow
counties" of the state must do it.
1t is the history of such unworkable
Utopian schemes that they find their
greatest support among the crowded peo-
pie of the cities, whose knowledge of
vital economics, on an average, is far
weaker than that of their rural neigh
bors. The cities have a poorer, more ig-
norant class among their Slums than
you can find in month of travelling in
the country areas, and it is among such
people that promoters of the widest
schemes are able to recruit their most
unreasoning followers.
There are many intelligent people who
are working for passage of the Ham-and-
Eggs amendment, some because they
make their living that way. some because
they heartily dislike the present system
and believe anything would be better,
and some because they have become con-
vinced that the Ham-and-Egg plan will
work. They are in the minority, however.
If the Ham-and-Eggs amendment pass
es, bringing with it all the financial grief
that would follow it as night follows
day, it will be the city vote that puts it
over.
If it is to be defeated, as it should be,
it is up to every voter in the rural dis
tricts = including Imperial county to
vote against I'll.
Just one vote can decide whether Cali
fornia is to remain sane, or go off on a
wild goose chase after Utopia That vote
may come from Imperial county. 1t may
be your vote.
1t is safe bet that Imperial county
will vote against the pension plan. 1t is
not safe to assume however, that because
the county will go against the plan,
every vote will not be needed. If the total
vote in the state favors the plan, this
county will be stuck with it just the same
as Los Angeles will.
This is no time to "let George do it."
Not only Georges vote, but your own as
we'll, is needed-and it may be needed
far more badly than you think.

WASHINGTON.-The real story
back of the Clark resolution for a
senate investigation of foregn pro-
paganda efforts in this country is
that it represents an effort by the
isolationists to find out whether
the American government has Sc
cretly given assurances" of aid to
England or France.
On the face of it, the resolution
introduced by Senator Bennett
Clark of MiSSouri-simply calls for
the appointment of a committee of
seven to investigate what, if any
thing, foreign powers or their
agents have done to influence Am
erica's action on the arms embargo
1t is worded broadly enough,
however, to empower such COM
mittee to go into the whole subject
of transatlantic communications
both ways.
1t is an open secret that the iso-
lationists are deeply suspicious that
some representative of the admin
istration has given the Allies far
broader commitments than are a
matter of public record. The isola-
tionists hope that through the
Clark resolution that entire question
can be examined right to the bot
tom. And when, as and if the reso-
luton comes to the floor for debate
look for fireworks all the colors
in the spectrum.
A certain prominent New Deal
senator, who has been active in the
fight to get the arms embargo re-
pealed, recently bet S10 that the
European war would be over by
Oct. q, 1899
He argues like this:
Neither Russia, Turkey nor Italy
really wants to see Hitler expand
any more in eastern or southeast
edn Europe. Russia has got him
stopped in the east right now, and
is hemming him in along the shores
of the Baltic; all of the reports
from Europe indicate that con-
versations to check German expan-
sion in the Balkans are now going
on. So
When this peace offer was made
isn't it logical to suppose that a
sub-surface communication went
with it to London and Paris, sug-
gesting that since Hitler was now
tied up in the east and southeast
and since the Maginot line in the
west is practically impossible, the
war might as we'll be called off?
With such a suggestion, this sen.
ator believes, there may well have

JUDGE YOURSELF
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

A child expert warns parents not to
be too hasty in judging the action of
their children. He says in all probability
they are merely reflecting what they see
in you. There's a lot of truth in this.
Take for instance the treatment of one
adult to another. If you want to pick
fight or cause resentment it's easy
enough to dG The same is true of spread
ing happiness and contentment. Much
of it depends on you. Be courteous and
considerate and you'll get the same in
return.
Even small children are intent observ-
ers. When you snap them up because of
their curiosity, you cause irritation and
some day they'll do the same to you.
Better take it easy and clamp down on
your own tantrums. So you don't have
'em, eh? Well just study yourself for

WHAT ARE
The BREAKS?

A father in Seattle, protesting that he
loved his child dearly, murdered the lit
tie girl this week because Il couldn't give
the kid the breaks"
The man undoubtedly is the victim
of a warped mind; yet his sorrow over
his inability to make life easy for his
child is more or less universal. Most
parents want to give their children far
more than they are able. Few Of them
realize that it is usually far better for
the child's future that he does not re-
ceive lavish abundance.
Abraham Lincoln's parents were un-
able to ''give him the breaks" Their very
inability to do so, together with his own
determination to find success, burned
into his soul the thing that made him
immortal.
Life is an adventure, not pathway
to be smoothed over until there is moth
ing but boredom left. The parent who
removes problems from his child's life,
leaves no goal for the child to work to-
ward and furnishes everything the child
wants, is liable to find that he has made
life a dull thing instead of an interest
ing one for the youngster
A child who's going to go far doesn't
need "the breaks. They won't do any
good for one who isn't.

THE UNION SHOP
AND THE LAW
(WaIl Street JournaD


The dispute between the Chrysler
Corp. and the CIO illustrates the extreme
development of the collective bargain
ing" idea namely, the union shop de-
mand. This demand permits the hiring
Of non-union men but requires that with
in 80 days they shall join the union,
thus assuring CLOSED shop Nothing
in the law of course, requires a closed
shop nor anything like it.
The fact is that there is much confu-
sion on what the Wagner act really re-
quires A recent regulation of the New
York state labor board (in the ST. George
case) as to election may serve to illus
trate the provisions of both federal and
New York laws. Under both, at any
election held to determine the bargain
ing agency, employees can vote against
representation by any union at all. Under
both laws, a majority vote expressing
this preference settles the matter. Where
however, a vote is split three ways, viz,
Union A, Union B and mo union,' the
practice Of the federal board is to settle
the case by plurality. The state board,
on the other hand, in such a case holds
a run off" vote in which only the voters
expressing in the first vote a preference
for one or other union participate, and
the matter is settled by maj jority Of the
votes so cast. Admittedly either way in
wolves some Hardship to some voters
as all elections do-but that cannot be
helped. The reasoning in both cases is
that in a three-way fight with a major
ity cast for 'some union" the principle
of collective bargaining" is entitled to
right Of way, the assumption being that
union voters" would rather have the
"other union" represent them than no
union at all.
The conclusion of the whole matter
is simply that there is no way to please
everybody. One thing is clear, however,
that there is nothing in either the fed
eral law or the New York state law to
compel any employe to join union. 1t
is equally clear that opinion is not ready
to regard the union shop" as an in
tegral part of that collective bargaining
which the same public opinion has es-
tablished as principle in labor rela-
tions. 1t still holds to the notion that
the individual employe has the right to
do as he p1eases in this respect
If the CIO persists in forcing the
union shop" issue in the Chrysler case,
it will very likely find that this is still
the case.

Americans Luckiest of All People
SAYS Traveller at Rotary Meeting

in Imperial Valley where she has
presented public talks for several
years. ,
Spain is in a state of uncertainty,
Mrs. Reardon said. While General
Franco was victorious, thanks to
Italian and German military assis-
tance Germany is endeavoring to
dictate Spanish affairs. Spaniards
dislike Germany, she said, though
they are intensely friendly to the
Italians.
Italy also, is turning against Ger
many, she believed, for similar
reasons. Italians feel that Germany
is in the forefront and Italy Is
playing second fiddle.
"Mussolini is in a tight spot"
she explained. His daughter, the
Contessa Ciano, is strongly pro-
German and a trouble-maker. Ital-
ians do not like women in politics
and equally dislike the German in
fluence. Opposed to Germany is
the very popular King Victor I'M
manuel and others, who are at cross
purposes with Mussolini. These
openly feel that Germany double
crossed Italy in the Austrian ASST
milation."
In England and France, nerves
had been strained to a breaking
point. War, she explained, was
certainty. 1t was the uncertainty
as to when it would start that
created such a constant tension.
In response to questions, Mrs.
Reardon stated she could shed no
light on Russia's part in the Eu-
ropean situation.
mo one seemed to know thing
about Russia. All who thought they
had understood Russia's attitude,
have been proven wrong. I cannot
give an opinion on any country
which I have not visited personal
ly," she said.

gram arranged by Ross Hickox,
chairman of the day. Previous to

prominent Ell Centran and Rotarian
whose funeral services were held
