THE GOVERNORS
FAVORITE SPORT
(Riperside PresS)

Pointing out Legislators who should be
"purged" at the August primary seems
to be the favorite sport of Governor Cul-
bert l.. Olson of California these days.
He is touring the state trying to square
himself with the voters and urging them
to vote against those legislators seeking
reelection who refused to accept his or
ders as to how much money should be ap-
propriated for relief.
Two of the legislators most offensive
to the chief executive because of their de-
sire to save the taxpayers money, are Sen
ator John Phillips of Banning and AS
semblyman Nelson Dilworth of Hemet
These legislators with the majority of
their colleagues, refused to give Mr.. Ol-
son the vast sums he demanded. because
they were convinced much of the money
was being wasted or being spent for pure
ly political purposes. The legislators de-
manded that the money appropriated for
relief be spent for relief and nothing
more.
Therefore, when voters of Riverside
county cast their votes for these Olson
purge" candidates they are practically
voting to permit the chief executive to
spend relief money without let or him
drance to force into the relief adminStra-
tion the hundreds of politicians who don't
seem to be competent to hold other Jobs
Riverside county voters would do we'll
to read the testimony of Sidney G. Rub
inow, director of state relief, in which he
volunteered some startling facts before a
legislative fact-finding committee meet
ing in Los Angeles last week. And while
reading this interesting testimony bear
constantly in mind that Director Rubin
ow was recently appointed by Governor
Olson
The new director said he had removed
1400 administrative employees from the
cooperative division and replaced them
with one man.
Most Of them should never have been
there in the first place." he said He de-
clared their salaries had "milked" ap-
proXimately half of the fund which was
appropriated for cooperatives. He termed
the SRA "the most chaotic organization
I've ever seen There aren't enough
words u the dictionary to describe it.
The organization apparently had forgot
ten the purposes for which it was created
When l started to work July 10, | under
stood the SRA was to serve the forgot
ten man, the relief client. But apparently
everyone had been remembered but HIM"

PRIDE IN TRADITIONS

Wendell Wilkie, Republican nominee
for president opened the national political
campaign Saturday with a speech in
which his opening jibe-a direct slap at
President Roosevelt and the third term
campaign-was the statement:
81 take pride in traditions, and not in
change for the mere sake of overthrOwing
precedent He went on to indicate, of
course, that not all traditions should be
observed religiously, but his opening
statement strikes a chord which many
Americans will find stimulating.
1t is too early to define the issues of
the presidential campaign; it is too early,
and issues are still too vague, to say, I'VE
think Wilkie should be elected" The next
few weeks should make up our minds
whether he is of sufficient calibre to re-
place President Roosevelt.
But there is no denying that his adj
herence to the tradition quality to be
admired Only outright internationalists
who believe that every nation should be
secondary in the light of international
problems, spun all national tradition.
For every nation, the United States no
less than any other, is founded upon ira
dition
The Constitution of the United States
is no more than tradition in written
FORM The laws of our land are traditions.
The love of every American for his home
land is a tradition. Life itself is a tradi-
tion, handed down from parents to chill
dren through eternity.
The man who processes distaste for
all tradition, or who by his acts shows a
distaste for all radition-regardles what
it isis one Of two things: loose thinker
or an opportunst attempting to take ad-
vantage of a situation. There are bad ira
ditions, of course-but the good ones last
the .engest, because they are good.

America is mastering her might
to defend the future. For unto
us the future of the world is given.
What hope is there for the world in
an ant-hill nationalism that climbs

HAM-EGGS BUGABOO
COMES BACK AGAIN

Enough signatures have been filed In
the secretary of states office to assure
the outlandish Ham-and-Eggs pension
scheme place on the 1912 general cleo
ton ballot in California, or else on the
ballot at any special election between NOW
and then.
This means the third trial for the utop-
ian free-money plan, and the third time,
i'm all probability, that California voters
will have turned it down.
But it means also, that Ham7and-Egg
promoters will continue to receive contri-
buttons from hopeful old folks at least
until the next ballot test for their pet
scheme They will spend thousands of
dollars in printing, radio propaganda,
salaries and possibly-as they did once
funerals for any of the promoters who
happen to die And every one of those
thousands of dollars will be made up OF
nickles and dimes contributed by old
people who cannot spare them, but who
hand over their cash because they have
been "sold'' on an idea which even ideal
istically- y-minded President Roosevelt says
will not work.
Opponents of the meaSure-thoSe who
do not want to see the state suJected to
bankruptcy because they have some sort
of strike in its business or community
life-will be forced to spend other thous-
ands of dollars fighting the crazy plan
which the people have already twice re-
jected.
The fact that we must submit to this
useless folderol, the only benefit of which
will be salaries paid to the plans promo
tiers, is the best argument in the world
ing initiative petitions and the number of
ing initiative etitons and the number of
times crackpot scheme can be placed
before the people, who obviously do not
want it.

Paul Harrison S Notes
On Hollywood S Feib|es and Fads

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 17-One of
the few things that the movie
colony finds gratifying these days
is the return to prominence OF
Irving Pichel. Actually, he is more
important than ever, though the
public won't see him any more.
Once a writer, then an actor, Pichel
now is a top-notch director.
Beginning at Harvard as one of
George Pierce Bakers fair-haired
proteges, Pichel did well in the
theater and became member OF
the Theater Guilds advisory board.
Then Metro brought him here on
a writing contract. For six months
he chafed under cinematic restrlc-
tions and enforced idlenesS, then
began peddling his well-known dra-
matte talents.
A big man with big voice that
was fine for tossing robust Shake
spearean speeches into the second
balcony, he never was able to ad-
lust himself to the sensitive micro
phone and the vocal mildness OF
other film players. When Pichel
said Il love you" to leading lady
in a tone which seemed to him a
mere murmur, the gal would jump
with alarm and the man in the
sound booth would have to replace
blowout audio tubes.
So Pichel drifted into declama-
tory roles. Mostly he was law
yer haranguing jurieS. To get
better parts, he had to go to the
uuickie studios. Two years ago he
played the heavy in Exile Express"
starring Anna Sten, at Shortlived
Grand National. "A swell actor"
agreed Hollywood. But what can
movies do with a voice like that?"
UP FROM
THE MINORS
BY this time he had directed a
few minor pictures. Most OF Holly
wood, individually, knew Pichel was
better qualified by experience than
many famous directors, yet the
studios continued to regard him as
an actor who was about washed
up He wouldn't play industry poll
tics. He wouldn't even go to Ken

COOt-HEADED SWEDEN

Courage and sense still stand shoulder
to shoulder in Sweden, if we read the
Swedish Premier's | a es It utterance
Alright.
Premier Hanson was faced with sug-
gestions by Nazism's DR.. Rosenberg that
Sweden become part of that unity" i'm
posed on Europe by Reichsfuhrer Hitler.
The Swedish Premier rejected the pro-
posal.
With Nazis in Denmark and Norway,
Premier Hanssons decision obviously be-
speaks courage; courage, however, that
permits common sense to operate. After
all, Russia has become something of a
Baltic Power in the last several months.
Russia has naval ambitions. Russia has
moved in behalf of purely Russian inter-
est whenever German gains have seemed
to threaten Russia's position in Europe
and incidentally at moments when Ger
man hands were full with other matters
Russia would hardly wish to see its move
into the three small Baltic States coun-
tered by Nazi conquest of Sweden, how
ever peaceful that conquest. Sweden con-
trolls the entire opposite coastline of the
Baltic Sea.

Man I Married" it is the best-sell
ing film bearing on the war and
is the clearest example since Ernst
Lubitsch's "Shop Around the Cor
ner" of what directorial skill can
contribute to a picture.
Considering his years of dis
couragement, Irving Pichel justly
might have adopted an it's-about-
time attitude. Instead, he seems .
as pleased and bewildered as CinE

Washington staff pinch for
him.
BY GERRY DICK
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. II The
excess profits bill now whirling
through the congressional mill will
be a compromise. Question centers
largely around what can be fairly
called excess profit" due to war
conditions.
The Treasury felt the base should
be a fixed profit on, invested cap
ital, all profits above that to be
taxed. That would have suited
steel manufacturers, for instance,
who have long way to go before
showing any very striking profit
on invested capital. by the way,
the mere question of what is in
vested capital?" is not always as
easy as it sounds)
Tax experts in Congress held
out for using average profits for
the past three years as paSe.
Auto manufacturers liked that, be-
cause their profits since 1887 have
been pretty good, and any war
time increase above those levels
might not be very great.
Now the compromise, in the
final draft of the bill: individual
manufacturers to choose either
base. thus giving everybody a
break. If profits are less than $4,000
a year, the law won't apply at all.
If a manufacturer has made not
more than per cent on invested
capital since 1887, he would be al
lowed per cent next year before
running into the excess profits
tax. But if he has made more than
10 per cent on invested capital
in the past four years, profits in
excess of 10 per cent hereafter
would fall under the tax
The tax will run from 25 per
ant to 40 per cent. On the first
