Fact is that he National Associa-

similar special privilege groups have
been keeping their eyes peeled on
school textbooks for many years, to
keep from our young folks knowledge
of the benefits that accrue to the peo-
pie from government ownership enter
prises such as the IVA and REA, and
from cooperative movements, all de-
signed to bring about more equit-
able distribution of wealth. These
things to them are "communistic," and
are attacked as such.
BY and large, Big Business has done
pretty we'll by itself in exercising
large degree of control over school
textbooks, and in getting into our
schools books that carry their particu-
lar kind of propaganda. They have
been working very effectively through
the local school boards. But here and
there they haven't had their way. A
national emergency gives them a
grand opportunity to do the hopping
up job-to do it 100 percent-which
they cannot do in ordinary times.

ious time and they are going to work

eyes on their local school boards to

Whose Bomb Under
Whose Beard?
CaliforniansW Wonder

Anybody who thinks that the only
promoters of class warfare in this
country are wild-eyed radicals should
study some of the wild-eyed remarks
made by speakers at the recent con-
vention of the Associated Farmers.
While California unionists are ask
ing for nothing more than fair wages
and working conditions, the big bust
nessmen in the A. f. are talking in
terms of war Witness this declara-
ton by Don A. Stevning incoming
president and former air corps Of
| ficer:
well be ready soon to shift from
the tactics of defense to offense"
The object of the A. F. offensive
was indicated in a few priceless gems
dropped by other speakers:
"The proposal by DR.. Walter Pack
ard of tn department of agriculture
for government ownership of farms is
just typical of the lousy termites, the
Raw Dealers, who are seeking to des-
troy the middle class and tear down
everything we have built up in $50
years. Treasurer H. L. Strobel.
Eve have as our enemies every
communist, nazi, fascist, starry eyed
pink, goon-squad leader and labor
racketeer in the state of California. =
Philip Bancroft, who was defeated for
U. S. senator by Sheridan Downey
Cd in 1888.
"You can see why, in winning the
enmity of the little dictators like
Harry Bridges, the California C. I. O.
director; Meyer Lewis, self-styled A.
F. L. dictator for the west coast, and
Carey McWilliams, who attempted to
put the communist dictatorship into
the sttae government, we have earned
the luminosity of all communists. =
Retiring President John S. Watson.
Having been administered several
shots in the arm, like these, the con-
vention proceeded to pass resolution
which declared, in part: "The owners
of any business have the inalienable
right to manage their own business
free from dictation by workers or
others not responsible for the success
full outcome of that management"
Admission that the A. F. receives
its financial support from utilities,
railroads, packers, shippers and other
large corporate interests came in
advertently when Director L. ]. Shu-
man urged that dues be increased so
that 1--WE can refute the charge of the
LaFollette committee and the unions
that we are financially supported by
and are stooge for the corporations"
Interesting in this connection was
he disclosure that, at secret meet
ng in Los Angeles, representatives of
he A. F. met with committees from
he San Francisco, Industrial associa-
ion, the State Chamber of Commerce,
he Merchants and Manufacturers as
ISOLATION, and the Southern Californi-
ms, Inc. to plan new anti-union and
measure for the 1941

and the subject matter discussed, to
iniquities Of a state liquor monopoly
converted into a sort of private enter
prise and pledged to take liquor out Of
politics. We who gather some six
hundred thousand dollars in license
fees for the benefit of balanced bud
get rightfully request in a similar vein
that politics be taken out of liquor,
and to that end we have openly and
sincerely sought to assist in correct
ing the obvious faults of the current
liquor laws. Disregarding the odium
that ours is a socially ostracized bus
mess with certain element of the
public, nevertheless we owe some duty
to the integrity Of government in gen
eral and being junior partners with
the state in the liquor business, we
feel justified in any effort we make
to carry out the implications of the
governor-elect's pledge relating to the
divorce of our business from the Chi
caneries Of political boodling. And
these efforts should not be construed
as being. the dark schemes of saloon
men but rather an honest gesture to-
wards cooperation with the new chief
executive in seeking solution of a
complicated social and fiscal problem.

fortunes, their happiness. We cast
this vote not for ourselves, whose
lives are set for the duration, but for
those who are to succeed us. What
ever burdens we assume this day
they must carry; whatever form of
government we set this day they
must live by; whatever ideals we
establish by this vote they must
maintain. This is not our vote; it
is theirs.
1t is impossible to be wise about
the future. Nor can We say what
will be good for these children and
young people generation from now.
We can, however, use our intel
ligence. We know what is happen
ing in the world. We know what
kind of life we enjoy. Experiences
of our own and especially the ex-
periences of the peoples who have
fallen under the domination of the
totalitarians show us our danger, the
threat to our traditions, customs and
ideals, the menace of evil to our
children. We must, if We are in
the least thoughtful, understand
that the freedom of the individual,
his right TO voice in his Govern
ment, the preservation of the safe
guards of his liberties, is imperative
We vote in accordance with that
view.
The freedom we insist upon pre-
serving allows for the widest differ
ences of opinion in details. On the
essential, the freedom of the people
and the control of their own Gov
ernment, there is just one opinion
in these United States. On that
we vote, not for ourselves, but for

The men and women of this coun-
try prize their right to vote above
all other rights they possess, yet
when the time comes to exercise
that right on election day more than
a few of them will not take the
trouble to vote This will be true
this year when votes will decide ire
mendous issues, issues on which may
depend the future life and liberty
of us and our children.
Voting is a citizens right. 1t is
also his duty. No good citizen will
remain away from the polls on elec-
ton day. He will get there and
vote according to his convictions if
he has to be rolled there in a
wheelchair. If he is confined to
his bed he will vote and have his
vote recorded by the regulations
prescribed. in his State. Death alone
can prevent an American citizen
from performing his first duty to
his country on election day.
And yet, interested citizens will
tear up and down the streets ring
ing doorbells, driving cars, making
telephone calls, to get the vote out"
Maybe it would encourage some of
these laggards to action if they gave
a thought to what value a vote has
in the totalitarian lands, and of
what value a citizen of one of those
lands is to the leader. That ought
to drive the LATEST of us to the
polls before daybreak.

AS long as you're in a voting
mood, cast one small ballot for that
new note, the wider hat band. At
the moment they're being shown
in high-priced merchandise, but by
the time this gets into type they may
be available at relief-check prices.
This idea of a wider band is no
good on low-crowned, wide -brimmed
hats, of course, but it's an up-and-
coming idea on others.
incidentally, novelty hat shapes
still include telescope and semi
telescope types. In the former
there's the pear-shaped number. and
the round telescope with pinch
front which seems to be the more
popular.
The general hat trend is still
toward the low tapered crown and
wider brim, but not too fiat set to
be nifty.

latter major event shows that there
is a decided preference for these
knitted nooses in almost every color,
to be worn with nearly every type of
shirt during the day. Needless to
say, we're excluding formal daytime
wear.
In the figured ties of silk, fouIard
and other fabrics, most of the de-
signs are large and rather irregular
The only exception which seems to
have sneaked in to prove the rule is
the frequent use of the tiny shep-
herd check-an idea that adds con-
siderable dash to otherwise Somber

1t might be a good idea to stock
up on your favorite ties now, so that
when the Christmas season rolls
around you can truthfully tell all
feminine donors that the one thing
you DON'T need is tie. You'll be
