WASHINGTON SNAPSHOTS In view of the many trial balloons which have gone up from various quarters in recent months dealing with Constitutional amendments to enlarge the powers of the Federal government or legislative acti necub the powers of the Supreme Court, the indifference or coolness of members of Congress to the issue may have a deep underlying significance. The extent of this significance will become better known as Congress moves further into the session, as the Roosevelt program unfolds, or, perhaps, as the Supreme Court hands down new decisions affecting legislation enacted in the last few years. That most members of Congress were not taking seriously the proposals to alter the basic structure of the political system was evident, however, almost from the time that they began to return for the new session. One interesting sidelight upon the question was given by an influential person as follows: When the country was at the bottom of the depression the people were ready to try anything. They were like the football team that is behind and starts throwing passes widely, on the theory that its condition is so bad that it couldn't be worse. Now, with business constantly improving, and with those who desire to work finding jobs in increasing numbers, the people find that the American economic system is capable of righting itself without radical innovations. One of the issues which has been kicking around for years but which will be pushed again at this session is the proposal to increase American incomes is not to 'redistribute' more income than there is to go around, but to improve labor skills, machine efficiency and industrial organization—in short to increase both individual earning power and national production. One of Mr. Green's proposals is the precise opposite of this. He wants to shorten the working week. The only result of this would be to increase production costs and hence prices, which would reduce the purchasing power of wages. It would reduce national production, and hence American incomes, even below their present inadequate levels." New County Water Law to be Strict When and if a county ordinance prohibiting the waste of water is adopted, as demanded by the Farm Bureau and the county water district board, it will strike as hard at waste by farmers as at waste by gun clubs. It will—If Chairman Willard Smith of the board of supervisors has anything to say about it. Smith made that clear yesterday afternoon when he declared: "I think as much water is wasted by irrigators letting water run down the road as by duck clubs." His remarks were made during a discussion in which he asked other supervisors to consider selection of a committee of seven to investigate water wastage and needs. Now, with business constantly improving, and with those who desire to work finding jobs in increasing numbers, the people find that the American economic system is capable of righting itself without radical innovations. One of the issues which has been kicking around for years but which will be pushed again at this session is the proposal to legislate a 30-hour work week for all industry on the theory that simply by having all plants curtail working hours everyone will have an overnight trip to Utopia with no return ticket. There is hardly an economist in the country that has not pointed to the fallacy of this reasoning. The New York Times disposes of the issue neatly in commenting upon a statement by the president of the A. F. of L. as follows: "The need for higher incomes on the part of the great mass of the American population is obvious. It does not follow, however, that Mr. Green's particular recommendations to achieve that end are sound. His remedies put the cart before the horse. A nation can never "buy back" more than it produces. The primary way to Sale of Fertilizer For Year Increases Further indication of increased prosperity of California growers is found in the announcement of the division of chemistry, state department of agriculture, that sale of commercial fertilizers for the fiscal year shows an 18 per cent increase over the previous corresponding period. Indications are that 193,000 tons of commercial fertilizers were sold in the state during the last fiscal year, said Dr. Alvin J. Cox, chief of the division of chemistry. That figure may be compared with a total of 164,000 tons sold in the previous year. Estimates are made on the basis of tonnage taxes collected by the division. The Farmers Corner by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California "When the maritime strike has been won, we shall march inland!" Such is the boastful defy hurled by the radical army headed by Harry Bridges, admitted communist, alien and ruthless leader of the Pacific coast maritime strike. Just what is the significance of that threat to California agriculture? Just what does "the march inland" portend?" California farmers, just beginning to recover from years of depression, certainly cannot afford new disaster when they are still struggling to rehabilitate their industry and achieve some measure of security. Nor can California farm work afternoon when he declared: "I think as much water is wasted by irrigators letting water run down the road as by duck clubs." His remarks were made during a discussion in which he asked other supervisors to consider selection of a committee of seven to investigate water wastage and needs. The Farmers Corner by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California In "the march inland," the radical labor forces—overriding the objections of the conservative labor leaders, who recognize the danger and futility of the program—have two immediate objectives. They want "a closed shop." In other words, if this system obtained, a farmer could hire only union workers, pay only union scales and work only union hours—nature and the laws of harvest notwithstanding. Second they want "preferential union hiring halls." If this system went into effect, the farmer would be forced to call up the union hiring hall, order his men—and take any men the union sent... Just what is the significance of that threat to California agriculture? Just what does "the march inland" portend? California farmers, just beginning to recover from years of depression, certainly cannot afford new disaster when they are still struggling to rehabilitate their industry and achieve some measure of security. Nor can California farm workers afford to be caught napping, unless they wish to invite the domination of the notorious "beef squads" which "organize" by terrorism and which club and slug workers into following the strike mandates of their radical bosses. Farmers and farm workers should both know the facts and should both be prepared to end "the march inland" before it ever gathers, headway. They should know, for example, that the rights of the workers are ignored and ruthlessly over-ridden by the radical agitators who now plan to invade interior California—just as the rights of the employers are ignored and thrown into the discard. In the maritime strike, the recognized labor leaders and the individual workers have been as powerless to end hostilities as the shipowners. Agreements were reached, for instance, between the shipowners and three of the major unions, but the Joint Strike committee, dominated by Harry Bridges, prevented the membership of the unions from voting on the agreements. The strike must go on, not because the workers are unwilling to return to work, but because Harry Bridges is unwilling—because he has not yet achieved the labor dictatorship which he has They want "a closed shop." In other words, if this system obtained, a farmer could hire only union workers, pay only union scales and work only union hours—nature and the laws of harvest notwithstanding. Second they want "preferential union hiring halls." If this system went into effect, the farmer would be forced to call up the union hiring hall, order his men—and take any men the union sent, whether experienced or unexperienced, whether good, bad or indifferent. Nor would that be all. The union could replace his workers at any time with other workers more acceptable to union bosses, regardless of the effect on the farmer's business, and woe to the farmer who dare protest, or otherwise try to control his own business. The union hiring hall plan, reduced to elementals, constitutes the foundation of a labor dictatorship. With union bosses determining the men who would get the jobs—and with the one big boss determining the fate of the smaller bosses—"the march inland" would be complete. California agriculture cannot risk the disaster of a general strike, with crops rotting in the fields and with alien radicals dictating the terms of settlement. It certainly cannot risk the terrorism of its workers by "beef squads," enforcing their commands with black-jacks and brass knuckles. If California farmers — both farm owners and farm workers—are alert to the dangers of the situation, "the march inland" will be stopped before it leaves the city limits! 'No Retreat,' Says Townsend Knowlton Plans to leave Jan. 25 Charles Knowlton, Fullerton horticulturist who has been appointed agricultural adviser for the state of Patiala, India, to direct planting of deciduous fruits as a new agricultural industry there, expects to sail for Bombay about Jan. 25, he said today. Knowlton was originally scheduled to leave for India Dec. 28, but his plans have been delayed by the maritime strike. The strike may also cause a further delay in sailing as Feb. 8 has been set as the next possible date after Jan. 25 in event he is unable to get passage at that time. Knowlton has 2,500 young trees representing a wide variety of deciduous fruit and some citrus which he is to plant in an experimental orchard for the native government of the northern India state. He is to remain there for at least six months to supervise care of the orchard. Patiala is in northern India in Placentia Boy Scouts One of the most promising in history of the organization faced by Boy Scouts of America 100, of Placentia, Secured Charles Reed and H.

Meetings of the troop at 7 p.m. each Friday in American Legion hall, the lower-Himalaya mountain elevation around four thousand feet with severe rainfall similar to Californias was said. A train trip of 1, northward from Bombay required to reach the Patiala after leaving Knowlton said. Care of trees on the trip will be big task for Knowlton in job of setting them out structuring natives in can growing orchard. ANAHEIM 344 West Center S DIXIE PURE JELLY ALL FLAVORS 3 7 oz.

E. Douglas revealed. "The boys are enthusiastic over accomplishments of the past, and are fully cooperating with us in making a complete schedule of events this year," Reed said. Meetings of the troop are held at 7 p.m. each Friday in the local American Legion hall, with from the lower-Himalaya mountains at an elevation around four to five thousand feet with seasons and rainfall similar to California, it was said. A train trip of 1,000 miles northward from Bombay will be required to reach the destination in Patiala after leaving the ship, Knowlton said. Care of the young trees on the trip will provide a big task for Knowlton before the job of setting them out and instructing natives in care of the growing orchard. Tunnel Sought By Beach City Plans for a pedestrian subway, which would cut under the state highway at Main street, crossing to the pier, were taken under consideration by the Huntington Beach city council at a meeting this week. City Engineer Harry Overmeyer was instructed by the council to get in touch with state highway officials and ask their co-20 to 25 scouts attending regularly. Reviewing events of the recent past, the scoutmasters pointed with pride at the work of the troop members in arranging several successful meetings. About the middle of last month, the boys hiked from Yorba Bridge Santa Ana Canyon over the hills to Robber's Peak and down the other side to camp for the night at Santiago Creek below Irvine Park. On this trek were Bob Hill, Owen Johnson, Lee Porter, Fred Robbins, Alfred Robbins, Nathan Spencer and Dan Miller. The trip was under supervision of Scoutmaster Reed.
