SHOULD STATES BASIC
LAW BE REVAMPED?

Since the recent election, and lndeed
for some time prior to that event, con-
siderable talk is heard round about the
state. individually and through this
group and that as to the need for con-
stitutional convention to revise the states
constitution.
Much of the incentive arises from the
repeated calls on the voters to pass Judg--
ment on initiative measures. Some OF
these call for legislative enactments;
many if passed, become amendments to
the states basic law. Last election saw
twelve measures, all either were in the
form of amendments, or related to mat
ters not set out in the constitution
Here and there states as old, some not
as old, as California already have called
constitutional conventions. Others seri-
ously are considering the move.
An instance as to California-not all
the state offices are under the cOnstitu-
ton as to salary Then again, based on
the changing conditions, there is cail
to revise the status of salaries as fixed
by the constitution. This was an element
in the last election as regards proposals
put up to the voters.
The mere argument that the state con-
stitution is outmoded is not sufficient
to call a convention. However, it is
matter that has reached point for SER
ious consideration and the incoming leg
islature may undertake to go into it all
and determine the answer.

TOKYO EARTHQUAKE
Sacramento Bee)

The strange coincidence of destruc-
tive earthquake rocking Japan on the an
niversary of her treacherOus attack on
Pearl Harbor may have profound effect
upon the japanese people, who believe
they are protected from harm by the
sacred gods of Shinto.
Will they now think the white mans
God is getting revenge for the perfidy of
December 7, 1941?
Too, no comfort will come from the
theory of Dr. Harold o. Whitnall, Col
gate university geologist, that the devas-
tating quakes were touched off by the
recent B-29 raids on Tokyo.
More and bigger raids are coming up,
and if there is a connection between the
two, Japan can expect repeated earth
uuakes in the future.
Some earthquake experts and volcanol-
ogists long have contended that block
buster bombs dropped into the mouth OF
a volcano might produce an eruption.
1t remains to be seen whether large
numbers of bombs might interrupt the
delicate subterranean balances along
earthquake faults-but, in any event,
most people are hoping.

lation creating TIE new ranks of

To be "admirals CT the fleet
ranks comparable to the same rank
of many foreign countries, includ-
ing Britain-he named Admirals
Ernest j. King, commander in chief
Of the U. S. fleet and chief of naval
operations; Chester w. Nimitz
commander in chief of the Pacific
fleet and Pacific ocean areas, and

D-DAY FOR GERMANY
(San Bernardino SUM

NtDdll DCi IlSti Nillo ouilJ
D-day has arrived for the German peo-
ple bringing with it disaster, destruc-
ton, despair and impending defeat In
side the borders of that once great nation
there are S0,000,000 distressed and dis
illusioned citizens.
Against them-from the west, east and
south-presses the mightiest military as
sault in the worlds history. Scarcely
foot of their soil is free from bOmbings
Hardly moment, day or night, are they
permitted to rest in whatever security
their shattered homes may offer.
The manner of existence in Germany
today is completely understood by the
allied high command. The story has been
assembled from neutral travellers, from
escaped prisoners, from deserters and
from the Nazi press. Everything has been
checked carefully, the propaganda ell
minated one fact weighed against an
other. In that manner the truth has been
learned, in all its stark tragedy.
There is shortage of food, and what
is available is difficult of transportation
because of Allied bombings. Clothing is
scarce. there is little or no fuel, shelter is
confined to novels and wrecked homes.
Able-bodied persons are forced to work
long hours in the remaining factories.
Over it all is the threat of the gestapo,
which kills without trial or compunctlon
if there is the slightest whimper.
Surely no people on the face of this
earth have less to hope for as avengng
armies move in to wipe out the stain OF
NaZism on modern civilization

HOUSE STARTS OUT TO
CLIP MR. ICKES WINGS

Enactment of a bill few days ago by
the House, while in itself of no special
interest to much of the rest of the coun-
try. in which a large tract in Wyoming
which Ickes had been instrumental IN
being withdrawn as national monument
without the knowledge or consent of con-
press. does have intense significance in
principle.
IJp i'm the Teton national forest coun-
4ry-than which there is no finer natural
.scenery-the President arbitrarily issued
an order taking 221, ,610 acres from the
state and setting it up as national play
ground. Much of the land is fine for
agriculture and the rest for grazing.
The tract composed the major part OF
a county's tax revenue.
kThe matter of preserving such areas
for "the public" does not enter into the
picture in the light of the action OF the
house. The county involved protested
the action, on the grounds that the in
terror secretary and the President over
stepped their authority, which is just
what happened. AS matter of fact, the
actual playground area is only fraction
of the acreage seized.
The action of Ickes and the President
duplicates the high-handed Colorado
river water treaty. Both ignore and
flaunt the rights of the people.
Recently Ickes, in the same arbitrary
wav has undertaken to seize thousands
of the finest developed agricultural lands
in Alaska to be turned into Indian reserv-
ations. If that move does not violate the
Bill of Rights, then there Just isn't any
legalized or constitutional protection
from the autocratic and ambitious ad-
ministration.
Defeat of ratification of the Colorado
river treaty would be powerful aid in
curbing this mad course the administra-
ton is pursuing as to the nations public
domain and as to tranpling on the peo-
ple's rights, and would be in the way of
serving notice that no one has the power
to ignore constitutional authority.

Caution Urged
On Pest Peril

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 16. UP)-
The state agriculture department
urges California residents receiving
gift packages from servicemen
overseas or in other countries to
destroy any materials which could
transmit insect pests or plant dis
eases into the state.
The department said it had cases
on record where serious pests have
been introduced through the pack
ing materials in packages, such as
oriental grasses and raw cotton.
Most packages are inspected, the
department said, but added it was
possible fer occasional packages to
escape complete inspection for un-
processed plant products or packing
materials which are carriers of in
furious pests.
