Sigma Delta Chi Chapter at S. C. Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fraternity, accepted unanimously the petition of By-Liners, local journalistic organization at the University of Southern California, for membership into the national body at their annual convention held at DePauw university October 19 and 20, it is announced by the U. S. C. school of journalism. Founded in 1909, Sigma Delta Chi observed its 25th anniversary this year. Chapters of the fraternity are located in leading universities in the United States having professional courses in journalism. 84 Employed On Big County Survey Work Under the sponsorship of the Orange county board of supervisors the SERA will make a complete survey of all centers of population in this county, according to announcements from Acting SERA Administrator Vernon D. Northrop. A total of 84 persons will be employed, on a payroll amounting to $23,052, already appropriated. TODAY and TOMORROW LOTTERIES and morals The whole subject of lotteries has been opened afresh by the action of the New York Municipal Assembly in adopting a plan for a city lottery to raise funds for the relief of the distitute. That is an ancient and still popular way to raise money for public or charitable purposes. It seems to me that there is a decided difference between a commercial lottery operated for private profit and a public lottery in which the bulk of the money paid for tickets goes to a worthy purpose. The outcry against any form of lottery, which has been embodied in the laws of every state and in the constitutions of some, is based upon the supposed debasing effect upon the winners, and the temptation to the poor to waste their scanty resources in the hope of winning a big prize. I am not prepared to subscribe to the doctrine that it is a function of government to regulate any individual's private morals. GAMBLING large and small Where one should draw the line between lotteries, gambling, speculation and the taking or risks in business is a matter that I have never been able to determine to my own satisfaction. In a sense we are all gamblers. We use the term ordinarily to apply to games of chance, in which skill may or may not have a dominant part. The golfer who bets a ball a hole on his game is as much a gambler as the lady who plays bridge for a prize; no more and no less. It seems to me that most betting is foolish, because the betters have no control over the outcome of the thing they are betting on. But most people are foolish, anyway, and so long as that is so there will Democracy To Be Read On N California denies the thought of governor, contiues week to rally American Demanded to the socialism in No Central head Spring street, registration of erats, and prede would be mu within the new branch headquarters Los Angeles quarters in Or Sinclair democracy the southern counnouncements.

SPECULATION Its scope The Federal Government has imposed upon the Stock Exchange and the other public markets for securities and commodities, regulations intended to curb speculation. About one million persons, considerably less than one percent of the population of the country, were engaged in speculation when the big crash of 1929 came. Many goe out with profits; those who lost made a lot of noise about it. The ones who lost had nobody to blame but themselves. They were the "easy marks" who think money can be make by people who don't know how to make it. No sane person would go into the grocery or hardware business without knowing something about it, or expect to make money out of it without giving it all lof his attention, day and night. Yet folks who had been successful enough in their own businesses to accumulate a surplus went into stock market operations without knowing the first thing about the market, and risked their capital in an enterprise over which they could exercise no control. That sort of speculation is pure insanity. But that doesn't mean that all "margin trading" is foolish or speculative. LAND and values I was in Iowa in 1917 when the big farm land boom was rising to its height. Farmers were paying from $300 to $600 an acre for ordinary form land. Sensitive men knew that there wasn't an acre in Iowa that could earn interest on such prices, but that wasn't what these buyers were thinking of. They were thinking of selling the land next week at a profit. By and by the crop of suckers failed, and the last buyers were left holding the land. Much of the distress among farmers has its root in land purchases at exorbitant prices, on partial payments with a mortgage on which the land can never earn interest. POCKET THE DIFFERENCE!

As Headquarters Set Up In 15 Southern Cities California democrats who can't stand the thought of Upton Sinclair as their governor, continued during the last week to rally behind the banner of American Democracy of California, pledged to the defeat of Sinclair and socialism in November. Central headquarters at 612 South Spring street, Los Angeles, reported registration of more than 20,000 democrats, and predicted that this number would be multiplied several times within the next few days. Fifteen branch headquarters were opened in Los Angeles county, central headquarters in Orange county, and anti-Sinclair democrats were active in all of the southern counties, according to announcements. Headed as it is by the same leaders who directed the Creel-for-Governor campaign before the primary, the American democracy movement has enlisted more than 90 per cent of the Creel leaders and attracted a large majority of the other "regular democrats" who supported candidates running against the socialist-masquerader Sinclair, according to official announcements. Orange county's organization work against Sinclair has been taken over by Col. S. H. Findley of Santa Ana, and he, with C. Harold Dale, secretary has established headquarters at 519 N. Main Street. In Los Angeles county the establishment of anti-Sinclair headquarters reads much like the original announcement but also for the payment of past obligations which may now be in default or which may later become defaulted. Such extension of the scope of projects and agencies eligible for the loan of the state credit, at a time when the state's credit is already imperiled by the most critical financial crisis in its history, would be most unwise, and dangerous in the extreme to every taxpayer. This amendment is unnecessary for the central valley water project, financial arrangements for which have been provided in another law already applied by the people. Unlimited Debts Faced If No. 18 Wins At Election Decided "No" Vote Only Way To Keep Property Holders Out of Bankruptcy One measure on the state ballot on which every taxpayer in Southern California should vote a decided NO is the proposed assembly constitutional amendment No. 18, which also appears as proposition No. 18 on the ballot. This measure contains a provision which if allowed to become operative would simply swamp the taxpayers of California. Under its terms bonds of the state of California could be issued without limit as to amount, on behalf of practically all state agencies, and the voters would have no opportunity whatever to vote upon these bond issues. Amendment No. 18 permits the state to loan its credit to cities, counties, irrigation districts, and other tate agencies not only for the payment of obligations to be created in the future.

Here is Governor Merriam’s own statement For Those With Jobs, I Will Strive: 1. To bring you security of employment through definite encouragement of business, industry and agriculture. 2. To insure you and your family against loss of work, by adoption of a practical and adequate plan of unemployment insurance. 3. To uphold your right to bargain collectively for increased wages, shorter hours, and improved working conditions. 4. To discourage pay cuts in both public and private employment and encourage establishment of a wage scale providing a decent living on American standards. 5. To fearlessly oppose radical or Communistic efforts on the one hand, or Capitalistic efforts on the other, to destroy legitimate organized labor. (Note: The Legislature, under the leadership of Govnor Merriam, is now developing a workable plan of unemployment insurance and will report in January.) FOR THOSE SEEKING JOBS, I WILL FIGHT: 1. To see that no man, woman or child in California goes without food or shelter. 2.

To create new jobs through the medium of public works, the development of our great natural resources and constructive effort to promote the upward trend of business, agriculture and industry. (Note: As a part of this pledge, the Legislature at the special session and on Governor Merriam's recommendation, adopted for submission to the people a proposed issue of State bonds in the amount of $24,000,000 for the relief of unemployment and distress.) To Those Unable to Work, I Dedicate Myself: 1. To safeguard and expand the State's great humanitarian work for the sick, the disabled, the orphaned and the aged. 2. I heartily favor old age pensions and commend the Townsend Plan to Congress and the National Administration for thorough study. (Note: In furtherance of this undertaking the Governor and the Legislature have already petitioned the President and Congress to supplement the State's present effective pension system for the aged by enacting a Federal old age pension law.)

It would subject property everywhere to the ad valorem tax, and impose a crushing tax burden. It would also tend to unsettle all established water rights in California. After careful study this measure has been condemned by the Commonwealth. Club of California, the California State Chamber of Commerce, scores of local chambers of commerce throughout the state, and many other important civic agencies. Every taxpayer who has any regard for the amount of taxes he is hereafter to pay should stamp a decisive "NO" against Proposition No. 18. CCC To Plant Trees On 200,000 Acres In California In Year During the fiscal year, 200,000 acres will be planted with trees throughout the country by the Civilian Conservation Corps. "Fifty years from now," says Charles Lathrop Pack, President of the American Tree Association, "this stand of trees will be worth $20,000,000 as merchantable timber even at present price."

That all Citizens of California will share equitably in the benefits of economy and simplification of government, which are a definite part of my program. (Note: Governor Merriam obtained the approval of the Legislature at the recent special session giving relief to home and farm owners from the burden of delinquent taxes and special assessments as well as from the immemediate danger of loss of their properties through foreclosure of mortgages and trust deeds.)
