VOTER REGISTRATION
IAGS IN CALIFORNIA

There should be no call to urge voters
to qualify themselves for the May l6 pri
maries and the November election, but
such is the case. Secretary of State Jord-
an sees the need so strongly that he is
urging the governor to set registration
week" While we are not so keen about
this and that week" we recognize the
situation and join in reminding Califor
mans to get their names on the poll
books
Imperial County's registration is low
est in history, according to officials.
Since books are available in the various
city halls in the county, it requires small
effort and little gasoline for voters to
get tneir names on the books.
If for no other reason than that Amer
ican citizens enjoy the greatest liberty
in the world in expressing themselves
through the ballot, registration should be
one hundred per cent This always should
be the case. but this year it is of greatest
significance.
This year we elect an entire lower
house, and one third of the senate men,
bers We elect president and a vice
president. Whoever is elected will have
the grave responsibility of bringing the
war to successful issue and an even
greater, if possible. responsibility in
guiding this nation in its part in world
peace.
Furthermore each state will select its
leaders to carry on during the reconstruc-
tion period 1t is easy to say "any of the
candidates will be as good as the other,
so what's the use to vote" and let it go at
that Suppose this is true? Failure to
vote is lodging ones duty and neglect
ing a privilege we are wont to boast no
other nation possesses.
But no such Utopia exists. There are
better candidates than others. Only by
ballot can we make the proper choice.
When the election is over it is too late
to make amends We must then take
our medicine
Because of the gigantic task of moving
California back into normal and healthy
production from the huge wartime out
put, each and every voter should be alert
in evaluating the various men and won-
en- who are offering to carry the torch
and then express that choice at the polls
We come dangerously close to cleo
tions by minority in many instances and
that just isn't democracy or sense or
good judgment, nor does it do much cred
it to good citizenship.
By all means, let's register and do it
today.

The subcommittee of the

$3.50 month living rent free in

completely.

Admiral Bozo of the imperial Jap navy
explains that he is about to invade Cali

Surprising, then, is the recent open
broadcast from Tokyo, credited to Ad-
miral Nakamura, who obligingly told us
the best way to attack Japan. Do it from
the north, he said. and avoid having to
capture scores of heavily fortified is
lands He did not go quite so far as to
trv to arrange a personal conference
with General Macarthur but he estab-
lished a new high in friendly interest in
the military problems Of an enemy. He
seems to be true son of the pOlitest

over a month ago we were in

the information available in con-
nection with the regulations. Later.
a written request was sent to rs
asking for a hearing and We ar
ranged for one to be held by the
State WA Wage Board on Satur-
cay, March l8. in the El Centre
Courthouse.
Our board made the preliminary
arrangements with the Wage Board
as to date, place, public notices, ad-
vertisements and other details IN
cidentally, the notices were in ey-
cess of the legal requirements So
that everyone would be sure TO
know about it and have an oppor-
tunity to be present and have
voice in the proceedings.
We did not attempt to influence
any witnesses in any way. but we
did urge that people representing
all sides of the questions be pres
ent-small growers, large growers,

so that whatever action is taken
would be on as complete a factual
basis as possible.

SponSibility for a shortage of meat
rests squarely with the OPR, B. B
Brumley. president of the National
Livestock Producers Association
said in speech in which he
characterized the roll-back and
subsidy order affecting livestock
an example CT blundering" and a
device to offset loCse fiscal and
wage po.icies."
Brun:.er in his address to the

said The purchasing power OF
the consumer is at an all time
high, exceeding the value Of avail

billion dollars When We reduce the
price Of food, it further increases
the public purchasing power. That
is exactly what was done by the
OPA loll-back order on meat. 1t
increased the power CT the con-
sumer's meat dollar and, By that
action, increased the demand for

AN UNWRlTTEN CHAPTER
(San Diego Union)

(San Diego Union)
If the civilian part in this war ever
were written one of the chapters which
would be left out would touch upon the
sacrifices and the hardships endured by
persons who go about their duty and who
never get into the headlines.
There are those, for instance. who dis
ciplne themselves to get along without
using their full allotment of gasoline.
At the end of the duration of series of
stamps they still have gasoline due them.
but they destroy or return the stamps.
Some insist upon getting along with
only the amount of meat allowed them
and provided for by the brown stamps.
If they are offered stamps which were as
signed to a vegetarian they reject them
kindly but firmly. They deprive them
selves of the amount of sugar allotted to
them. insisting that this is their patriotic
duty.
And some have filled out their income
tax forms without grumbling, even
though it has taken their evenings and
Sundays for the major portion of two
months. If in doubt about the propriety
of a deduction they might claim, they
simply do not include it. Duty, they rea
son, demands that they support their
government without question.
Where these people will be found will
be a problem for the historian, but they
really must exist. The law of averages
just couldn't permit everyone to be
grumpy about these legal restraints and
rules regulating individual lives.

In clnging to the style of ''KingEm-
