LET'S QUIT
THUMBlNG A RIDE
(Oklahonlan)

While the proposed cut in WPA relief
funds may average so per cent for all
of the states, the cut III Oklahoma and
other sections of the south and south
west may be only % per cent.
Enormously but with popular consent,
Oklahoma is listed in the national book
as being poor and so lacking IN get-up-
and-go that it has to be helped about
twice as much as other states. Okla
homa still has to thumb a free ride with
some other section Of the country sup
plying the motive power and the fuel
The chambers of commerce and other
boosters organizations in Oklahoma and
the southwest ought to include these
points in their folders and brochures
which are broadcast to induce new trade
and new paw rolls to come here. ProSpe.-
tive investors are entitled to know III
advance that Oklahoma has more needy
reiefers than the average state and that
we protest vigorously every time any
motion is made to reduce the flow OF
handouts from the government.
Why don't we quit kidding ourselves?
Why don't we quit thumbing free rides
The $40 100000 cut in relief is the best
thing that has happened in favor OF ma
tiona welfare in eight years. 1t is a
start back toward social and economic
normalcy. 1t will serve to make states,
counties. towns, families and individuals
think and work for themselves.
To insist that Oklahoma needs as much
outside relief now as it needed five years
ago or one year ago is almost sacrileg-
ious. And most of the country really
knows. and even the politicians know,
that conditions in Oklahoma are better,
prospects are brighter and the people
are happier than in the average state
If Oklahoma is asked to take so per
cent cut in relief, as the older states will
do. lets take the medicine and like it.

LITTLE BUSINESS THREATENED
{ Tulare Times)

"Within "a hours after the property
seizure bill is passed, many small INDUS
tries in my state will be destroyed
So declared California; Senator Sheri
dan Downey before military committee
hearing in Washington the other day,
where it was disclosed the bill would
enable the Army or Navy Departments
to seize machines and tools of small in
duStries and concentrate them at great
defense production centerS.
While the government might pay for
the tools and machinery SO acquired such
seizures naturally would wreck many
going businesses, dissipate small town
payrolls and scatter thousands upon
thousands of employees. We are some
what inclined to agree with Senator
Downey that such move should be avoid
ed if it is in any way possible.
1t would seem that the English system
of sub-contracting defense orders, per-
hitting every little shop in the land to
handle whatever it can best turn out with
the machinery it owns, would be much
less disruptng means of producing de-
fense needs. 1t would be no greater job
to organize such a system than to seize,
concentrate and man the machinery OF
thousands of small individual industries
The morale Of this country would be
seriously if not irreparably damaged by
such an invasion of little business as con-
templated.

HOW ABOUT The
VACANT LOT NEXT DOOR?

ATTORNEY D. B. Roberts started some
thing that many people could we'll copy
when he obtained permission from the
Ell Centre city council to beautlfy tax
delinuuent lot next door to his property.
It is true Roberts will get no financial
return from the deal. That is not what
he is interested in. 1t is true, also, that
he will spend little money for water
and shrubs and grass to fix the lot up.
He will take his payment in the pleasure
of having a beauty spot, rather than an
eyesore, next door to his home.
1t is true, also, that if the city sells the
lot for delinquent taxes, Roberts Will
lose all he has put into it. But to more
than overbalance that fact, he will have
made sure that whoever moves IN next
door to him will have a beautiful yard,
and without waiting too long.
The satisfaction Roberts will get out
of his project will be more than a per
sonal satisfaction. It will be the satisfac-
tion of helping to beautify his neighbor-
hood and his community. If others fol-
low his example, it may be the satlsfac-
ton of starting a movement which will
make Ell Centre twice as attractive as 1t
is today.
1t is a pleasure to live amid beautiful
surroundings. 1t is a pleasure for those
who have lived there and created the
beauty. 1t is pleasure that others wish
to share, so others settle where it is
beautiful.
If every home owner in Ell Centro,
whose home abuts a tax delinquent lot
were to follow Roberts example, the
beauty of Ell Centre would be doubled
And, in due time, the population would
follow the same trend.
Is there a tax delinquent lot next to
your place?

IMPERIAL COUNTY
BUILDS A FUTURE

There is significance in the news that
Imperial county's assessed valuations
increased during the last year, and that
the assessed valuations in three of the
county's cities increased along with the
total area.
The news is significant because it shows
that this county is building for the future.
Several factors make it even more impor-
tant.
One is that the earthquake of last year
failed to create a downward trend in
valuations. This years increase, uhaeI
normal circumstances, would not oe
startling Jut it is extremely noteWoLomS l,tS
because. Logically, a decrease should nave
been expected
Another factor of Importance Is the
fact that the increase reflects conslfuc-
tive effort expended before the present
national defense boom was felt anywhere
In other words, the assessed valuations
increase in ImperiN county last year was
entirely normal. and came about without
benefit of boom or artificial stimulation
of any kind.
There are thousands Of counties in the
United States which would be proud "
have that kind Of record.
There are many counties in which busI-
ness and civic leaders are worrying al
ready about what will happen when the
defense boom is over, and the new struc-
lures now being put up will no longer
be needed. We do not have that worry
in Imperial county. Our progress is
sound. 1t is long-range progress What
we are building now, we will be able to
use for years te come.
Our increase in valuations, in view OF
troubled conditions elsewhere, is so eX-
tremely healthy that we should welcome
if as the best news of many days.

drunk deeply at life's fountain and
have so much less to lose. But 1T
is by that very token that they
cannot be entrusted with the fu-
ture. To Marshal Petain, stumbling
down the last remaining years OF
life. it makes less difference that
France is only painful and per-
verted stump of a nation, with
nothing free and good to which it
can look forward. A few years or
tolerable comfort is all such ore
is apt to ask.
That is not good enough for those
who have a full life to live out.
To exist as an atom of that death
in life which is all any totalitarlan
country can offer, is not good
enough. Freedom was made for
youth, and it is fitting that youth
should be called upon to defend its
own.
In Germany, even the Nazi hor-
ror sprang from the ranks of
youth. This was possible only in a
youth already denied hope by eco
nomic collapse and political con-
fusion. The only power in the world
able to halt the drive of desperation
born in German youth 20 years ago
is the power of other youth that is
yet free, activated not by despair
and hatred, but by creative vision
and hope.

Youth for Defense

The armed forces of the United
States are being given a dip in
the fountain of youth.
No longer will it be policy to in
duct the services doddering oldsters
from 90 to SO, to say nothing of as.
The Army, the Navy, the Air Corps
need youth.
Modern war demands that, just
as war has always demanded it,
The quick reflex, the lasting stam-
ina-those are youths, and youths
alone Further, today's training in
the United States is for future
emergency-how far in the future,
no man knows. The younger the
trainee, the longer his experience
remains of value to the nation.
Every generation must makes its
own world. 1t is the young who have
the greatest stake in what kind of a
world it shall be, for it is they who
must live longest in it,.
Thus, while it seems shameful in
q way that they should have to face
the chance of being cut down in war
before they have had a chance to
probe deeply into the worlds beau
ties and its ugliness it is also they
who hold the long stake.
Some have argued that it is older
men who should be sent out to the
wars. since they have already
