BY Ralph ii Taylor

Executive Secretary, Agriculture
al Council of California;
EDITORS NOTE: This is the
first in a series of four articles
by Ralph II. Taylor. farm leader
and veteran legislative observer,
presenting and analyZing major
economic problems now at issue
in California, which affect not
only the farming industry, but
the entire state. Mr.. Taylor will
review the work of the legiSla-
ture during its recent four week
session; outline the problems
which are now being studied by
legislative committees, and set
forth the part that the public
must play in final determination
of the questions in controversy.
Speaker Gordon Garland of the
assembly, shortly before the state
legislature recessed its special ses-
sion, made a fortnight report to
the people of California-frankly
stating that the real contest at
Sacramento had been over the
question whether the state govern
ment should turn LEFT, as advo-
Gated by Communist-controlled
pressure groups, or whether 1t
should turn RIGHT land return
California to sanity and Solvency.
He then made the reasSuring dec
laration:
Il am proud to report to you
that your state legislature has turn

Mr.. Garland's report was a cor
rect and challenging statement OF
the underlying issue of the four
weeks special session. And Califor-
MIA citizens have every reason tC

lined the economic principles of
the national farm program, de-
Tending the AAA as a vital part
of the national administration.
THE farm act has become nee
eSSary," Miller said, because eX-
ports from the United States have
diminished, because the U. S. has
become a creditor nation rather
than a debtor nation and because
vast tracts of additional land were
put into farming during the world
war.
Exports have decreased be-
cause foreign nations have become
more self sufficient than ever be-
fore Miller declared, land because
foreign nations have brought more
land under cultivation than ever
before.
Before the world war" Miller
explained, 1.-The U. S. was debtor
nation, and could pay its debts
abroad with farm products. Now.
iloWtFeI, IIle u. .. is creator
nation and that program can no
longer be followed"
Shifting back to the nature an
gle, Miller explained that the pro-
gram is set up under a plan which
has been carefully prepared to
offset droughts, storm damage or
the like and subsequent failure
of crops.

FRICTION AMONG
C. 0. P. LEADERS
Appointment of McHugh
Causes Rift Between LO-
cal Organizations

The Republican Town Committee
received oflcial notice last night
from Chairman J. Warren Epson
that he will not serve another term.
As predicted yesterday, Mr.. Epson
withheld the actual submission Of
his resignation.
Plans Of Mr.. Epson to retire from
the town Craftsmanship at the meet
ing called for last nighe were
changed because of bitter strife
which has broken out within the
party. He decided to remain on for
the time being in an effort to set
tie the dissension.
The principal cause Of the latest
trouble In the @. o. p. ranks Is the
list Of committee appointments for
the Young Mems Republican Club
announced a few days ago by Pres
ident Harold Hadley. A number OF
members threatened to bolt unless
the appointments were changed.
One group was particularly in
censed over the selection of John
McHugh as chairman of the board
Of directors Of the Young Republic
can Club. 1t Is charged that Mr.. Nc
Hugh worked openly last fall against
the Republican candidates and for
the election of Mayor Vincent A..
Scully.
The appointment by Mr.. Hadley
have hurt the chances of Harold B.
Post for the place as Mr.. Upson's
successor. Mr., Post and Mr., Hadley
have been closely associated.

GOOD WILL MEANS
GOOD BUSINESS
Good will Is worth a great deal
In business-and in international
affairs.
If the people admire us, their
rulers are more likely to give us
a better break on trade agree
ments and in diplomatic parleys
It's mighty good for America to
be loved in most parts of the world.
Beyond that, you couldn't stop
these Americans, If you wanted to.
They would struggle and starve
and go ragged in order to help
unfortunates.
In the second place, most of us
don't want to stop helping. When
we gaze in the mirror We like our
looks better If we have helped the
Chinese or the Firms or the Armen-
ians.
That's the way we're built. And
that trait helps make us a great
nation.
If we ever stop. worrying about
the worlds unfortunate oeople, If
we begin to incline towaA = pol
icy of shooting them insb>> 4 Of
feeding them, look outl No longer
will we be unique. No longer will
we be Americans.
In that case, no longer will life
be worth living!

Flames, Smoke Give Fire
men Battle in Cherry
Street House

The basement and first floor of
three story house at 254 Cherry
street were destroyed by fire
which last night routed eleven half
dressed residents.
Dense smoke hampered firemen
on their arrival, but they managed
to check the blaze before it made
greater Roadway.
The fire was discovered by James
Kolesnik, -, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
K. K. Kolesnik, who was reused by
the heavy smoke. He called his
father who summoned fire head
quarters.
Lieutt Eugene A. Legge, marshal,s
aide, said the fire originated in the
cellar, where flames from an over
heated stove ignited scrap wood
nearby. The fire spread through
the walls and into a first-fioor
closet. Acting Deputy Chief Martin
j. Campion directed men from sew
eral companies.
Those who were forced to flee
from their home, were, besides Mr..
and Mrs. Kolesnik. their son, Jimmy,
and daughter, Caroline, Z, all occu-
pants Of the first floor; Mrs. Emily
Santos, her tire sons, Joseph, Leo
and Manuel, aged 4, and her BROTH
er-in-law, Alfred Santos, second
floor occupants: and Mr.. and Mrs.
John Valerie and infant baby, who
lived on the third floor.
Capt. Fred Hickey, Sergt. Charles
McWeeney, Lieut.. Ernest Pakul, and
Sergt. William Feeley were among
the policemen who assisted firemen
and rerouted traffic.

these Americans abroad and the
contributions from those at home
have made America the nation

common people of the world not
by the rulers, who envy us, but
