STOP CROSS-FILING
lSan JacintO hegister.l

lSdn JaclnJO hSgISleT.)
One of the first things the next ses-
sion of the Legislature should do is
enact law prohibiting cross-filing.
1t defeats the intent and purpose of
the direct primary law.
1t befuddles' the voters who do not
known at times who is Democrat and
who is a Republican.
The direct primary was framed to
take the place of the old convention
system.
Instead of a convention of handpicked
delegates to pick candidates to represent
their particular party, the power of Sc
Letting the men or women to run was
given over to the people through the di-
rect primary at which the Republicans
selected their representatives and the
Democrats theirs.
Those selected, one for each office
by each party, then stood for office at
the regular election.
In that way the people knew for whom
they were voting and for which party.
Now it's becoming more and more
the habit for candidates to file on both
tickets at the primaries.
They do that to save trouble and ex-
pense, for capturing both nominations
at the primaries obviates the necessity
of standing in the general election.
It's bad practice and should
be stopped.
If the legislature refuses because
most members are guilty of cross-filng,
then the pople can take hand through
the initiative

Finney MingIes
With Italian
War Prisoners

Tom Finney, manager OF the
United States Employment Service,
who returned from Camp Lockett,
said that while there he dined with
100 Italian prisoners Of war.
Finney says that the meals were
prepared by the Italians and were
delicious.
The menu consisted CT spaghetti,
macaroni and meat sauce.
Among the prisoners, the highest
rank is that of sergeant, according
to Finney.
Finney says all the men appear
intelligent There are radio tech
nicians. electricians and various
other trades represented in the
group.

The USES manager says that
many of the Italian boys are glad
to be out of the war for the dura-
ton and have made requests that
some way be found for them to stay
in the United States after hostilitics
cease.

GOOD OLD DAYS
(Riverside Daily Press.)

(Riverside Daily Press.)
People often talk of the good old,
DAYS" If they went back far enough,
they might at first thought have some
warrant for the idea. Back in the four
teenth century in England dozen eggs
cost only a cent, and two chickens two
cents. Rents were higher. A good coun-
try house would rent for $3.50 year,
and families had to double up because
they couldn't meet so high figure.
1t sounds wonderful, but of course
there was a catch in it. Wages were
CORRESPONDENCE low. If laborer got SIX
cents a day, he was lucky. That would
be a free laborer. Apprentices seldom
got much more than a little food for
their long hours of work.
If the reader will do little arithmetic
on this he will find that eggs at fifty
cents or thereabouts today, multiplied
by SO, would mean that the weekly wage
to correspond to that of the older time
would be SIS. Our modern eggs and
chickens are far better, too. There was
little or no plumbing in the good coun-
try house." none in any ordinary dwell
ing. Windows were rare
There were no movies nor automobiles.
We seem to be approaching medieval
lacks in the automobile and bathtub fields
at present, but at least we can have the
know-how which can build what we
need later
It's easy to forget the catches, in
thinking of the good old days, at least
insofar as improvements and physical
comforts are concerned.

One of the things the layman
Doesn't hear much about is the

one of the branches that even the

except in a vague way.
And yet the war couldn't keep
going without it. For ordnance re-
PAIRS all the vehicles Of an army
and furnishes all the ammunition
for its guns.
To-Day there are more vehicles in
the American sector of our beach
head than in the average-Sized

an average havey day are shooting
up mere than S10,000,000 worth of
ammunition. So you see ordnance

Urge Increases
To Move Site
OF Stellar Game

NEW YORK, Nov IA. CUP)-Ray
Mccarthy, director of football at
Yankee Stadium and the Polo
Grounds, Tuesday advanced a sug-
gestion to make the Army-Navy
football game a success from the
standpoint Of selling war bonds, even
though the powers that be in
Washington fail to sanction trans
fer of the game from the compare
tive obscurity of Annapolis, Md,
to New. York or Philadelphia.
Mccarthy wired the treasury de-
partment, which has requested trans
fer of the game so that the sale
OF war bones could be stimulated
by selling them for admission to
the contest. urging that every per-
son who listens TO the radio broad
cast of the game pledge themselves
to buy a bond.
The suggestion followed an an
nouncement by Presidential Secre-
tary Stephen Early that he doubted
whether President Roosevelt would
take any steps to transfer the game
