Schoo! Measure

LOS ANGELES, May 3. OP)-
Assemblyman Lee T. Bashore, Glen
Cora, told the Women's tax study
group that the proposed initiative
amendment to increase state sup
port of elementary schools in an
attempt to raid the state treasury.
In 1943 the legislature threw out
this same proposal which teacher
representatives are now carrying to
the people for signature, Bashore
said. for the legislature realized
that the state treasury except in
wartime boom conditions could not
carry such a load"
California already spends 10 per
cent more per child than any other
state in the nation, he pointed out.
Bashore, chairman of the schools
subcommittee of the legislative state
tax committee, said that elementary
districts are not in dire straits be-
cause only 152 of the 1854 districts
are levying their maximum local
tax rate.
AN increase of from $50 to $50
per child is completely beyond any
real need of the elementary
schools" Bashore stated.

Court Sets Out
Mine Claim Rule

SACRAMENTO, May 3. up
The third district court of appeals
held that miners must expeno SlOO
annually on each separate mining
claim TO conform with state and
federal law even though several
claims are consolidated"
Reversing decision of the New
ada county superior court the ap-
pellate body held the court erred
in holding that the respondent is
not required to perform more than
$lC0 worth of work annually on IL
separately located claims even
though it did subsequently pur-
chase and consolidate them for
placer mining purposes"
The lower court was ordered to
return title to a dozen Nevada
county claims to group of miners
headed by G. A. Bigelow. Defend
ant was the San Juan Gold Co.
The court also held that:
I'VE are bound to conclude that

RUSSIA MODlFIES
COMMUNISM

(Santa Monica Outlook
The trend of Russia away from COM
munism and toward a middle-ground of
socialism is the most significant modifi-
cation that has occurred in any govern
ment since the outbreak of the war. 1t
has not attracted as much attention as
its Importance warrants because war
news has overshadowed it.
The notifications affect many of the
doctrines of communism and open the
door for somewhat more liberal econ
omy. The accumulation of personal
wealth is no longer forbidden. Variation
in wages and salaries remove the dead
level of communistic practice. The en-
phasis on piecework and other forms of
incentive pay is a similar departure
Profit margin, called surplus value"
by the new order, is recognized, but it is
to be the profit which the government
makes from the labor of the people and
is not limited The freer play of market
prices is permitted but they remain under
government control, and capitalism is no
longer condemned but characterized as
good" and progressive with the fur
ther declaration that state capitalism is
better and more progressive"

VALLEY YOUTH PAID
SUPREME SACRIFICE

At the start of his life's career an
Imperial Valley young man has paid the
supreme sacrifice-he gave his life for
his country and to help maintain human
liberty. Robert l.. Graham, q years of
age came home He is at rest. The COM
munity has paid final tribute to this
young man whose promising future was
ended when he met death in the service
of his country No honor, no tribute can
fill the gap left in his immediate family
nor assuage the grief But recognition
by the community in which he lived and
moved can do much to heal that grief.
The Post-Press Newspapers extend
deep and sincere sympathy to Roberts
family. He was a faithful and ambitious
employe of these papers and we pay
sincere tribute to this gallant youth
This war-crueiest in history-will
make vacant places in other families We
know the Valley people for whom the
men in service are fighting, for they
fight for each and everyone of us, real
ize the sacrifices these men in uniform
are making and will attest to this knowl-
edge by extending should the sad call
come again, their deepest sympathy and
proffer their kindliest help as compensa-
tion for others sacrifices.

THIS IS GOING MODERN
JUST BIT TOO FAR

Sweeping changes undoubtedly are
certain in the many everyday gadgets
used around homes; future homes will
be wide departures in way of construc-
tion, cOnveniences and the like All this
Is coming through discoveries made nee
essary for war equipment. Materials
hitherto unknown or considered unfit for
buildings have been proved adequate
and equal to present construction AL
most daily there comes to light some de-
velopment that will change the modern
way of living and more are in sight.
There really seems no end to all these
many discoveries and improvements.
Transportation, too will be revolutioniz-
ed An expectant public waits with keen
interest all these things. And they will
be welcomed.
But when researchers and experts and
scientists and savants and inventors move
into the realm Of the American fisher
man, we'll, that's different.
Recently it was announced, and with
much fanfare, that some sort of electric
device is waiting for use after the war
that tells the angler where fish are to be
found; which way they are going, how
many and their respective sizes. Almost
everything but whether the willy trout is
hungry and just what it will seize as
bait. Furthermore, there IS SAID to be an
other gadget that indicates by a flash
of light when a fish properly is hooked,
and so on and on.
Now this is going too far. Far too far.
1t instantly removes all the fun of the
sport One just as well step into mar
ket and buy ones catch.
AS for US, we say pfui. Give us the
boiling trout stream Or the elusive lakes.
The wide ocean and we'll take our chance
as we'll as give the fish a chance. And
as to the bte-revaaler. Well, to all and
sundry so-called "plunkers' that means
goodnight.
Is there anything in the world to take
the place of bouncing cork to tell when
to pull? Nary anything.
Let the geniuses discover what they
will, but let them keep off the fishing
preserves.

SAVING LIVES
Sacramento Bee)

Sacramento Bee)
The extraordinary powers of penicillin
in attacking and destroying bacterial in
fection in the human body were first es-
tablished by medical science in 1929.
So little was done in its development,
however, that even as late as two years
ago only enough was available to meet
the call of a comparatively few urgent
civilian cases.
Then the needs of the wounded on the
battlefront supplied stimulation which
has achieved remarkable results.
According to a report just made by
DR.. Robert D. Coghill to the American
Chemical society, in the last half of 1943,
q producing laboratories, completed in
the United States and Canada at a cost
of S2O,OOO,000, turned out 40,0O0,OOO,-
100000, 900 units Of penicillin monthly.
Actually this is only IT pounds per
day.
Before the end of 1914 it is hoped to
increase this to nine pounds a day, or
enough penicillin to treat 25O,OOO cases
of serious infection per month.
In a majority of cases the availability
of the drug may spell the difference be-
tween death and recovery
And while most of the penicillln now
produced will go to the various battle
fronts, the civilian population after the
war will reap to the full the benefits OF
the vastly increased output which mill
tary needs have brought about.
Chalk up another war by-product on
the life saving side.

Crdemer Issues
Dare to DoWnev

In telegram to u. S. Senator
Sheridan Downey, Justus Craemer,
member of the State Railroad Com
mission and a candidate for U. S.
Senator at the May 16 primary. has
challenged DoWney to 'iteu the
people of California how you stand
on the Presidents abuse OF his
wartime emergency powers in the
seizure of the Montgomery Ward &
company plant in Chicago"
Craemer, who previously had de-
nounced President Roosevelt's use
of United States troops to take
over the store, and who had warned
that I'VE are drifting perilously
close to dictatorship in this coun-
try" wired Senator DoWney as fol-
lows:
~. S. Senator Sheridan DoWney,
Senate Chamber,
Washington, d. c.
Believe you should tell the peo-
pie of California, frankly and un-
equivocally, how you stand on the
Presidents abuse of his wartime
emergency powers in the seizure of
the Montgomery Ward and COM
pany plant in Chicago. Your con-
tinued silence will be interpreted
bv California voters as approval of
the present trend of Washington
bureaucrats toward illegal assump-
ton of authority and disregard for
law which border on despotism. AS

(Ansonia Comm SentineD
Faith . in the integrity and worth
Whileness of individual men and women
is the necessary basis for free govern
ment. Where it is absent, fear rules the
hearts of those who have become strong
enough to impose their wills on others
and fear fashions for itself instruments
of oppression. 1t seeks to Justify itself
on the plea that people cannot be trusted,
that they are stupid and incapable of
self government.

Parrot gers
Will DUdley's Goat

Will Dudley never liked his
wife's pet parrot. Claimed the
parrot called him "Stinky"-and
ate his pipe tobacco. And the
Missus said it served Will right
:. she'd told him not to smoke
his pipe indoors.
To make her point, the Missus
grabs Wills pipe and throws it
out the window. So Will grabs
the parrot and throws him out
too. Looks like unpleasantness
till in comes the parrot with
Wills corn cob in his mouth.
(And whistling "Home Sweet
HOme," Will claims.)
Imperial Valley press., 1944-05-03

Well, Will and his wife both
bust out laughing :. and made
peace over a friendly glass of
beer, allowing how it's pretty
silly getting mad at one an
others differences.
From where sit, that's a
mighty happy ending. Ii all of
us would live and let live in a
spirit of tolerance - whether it's
tolerance for a parrot or pipe
we'd be a whole lot happier
and better off.
