FLAG DAY We celebrate our great national holidays in America with great parades, public demonstrations and rich oratory. We are an objective people and our patriotism calls for objective outlets. As the bands play and the Stars and Stripes go by, we feel a great surge of pride in our Republic. Flag Day is June 14 and most of us will again take time off to be proud Americans. This year, we hope the day will have deeper significance and more lasting influence on our conduct as citizens. We might, as we thrill to the splendor of Old Glory, ponder a bit on what we are doing to safeguard and protect the principles which have made it revered among all liberty-loving people. We might take stock of our citizenship. We might resolve this year, to take our partnership with government seriously. MORALS OF GOVERNMENT AT STAKE The investigation of the Tennessee Valley Authority is at last under way. In the opening sessions, a number of exceedingly grave charges affecting directors, policies and activities of the Authority were made. In the course of the investigation, which will take a substantial length of time to complete, all parties involved will be heard, and will be given every opportunity to present their side.

In the opening sessions, a number of exceedingly grave charges affecting directors, policies and activities of the Authority were made. In the course of the investigation, which will take a substantial length of time to complete, all parties involved will be heard, and will be given every opportunity to present their side. The important thing is to make this investigation thorough and impartial. Charges and countercharges must be weighed, not in the light of politics or of partisan considerations, but in the light of truth. Nothing relevant must be kept hidden. No one must be whitewashed. The senators and representatives on the investigating board are charged with a grave responsibility. Few investigations in our congressional history have been as important. Far more is involved in this question than whether money was wasted or spent wisely, or whether the TVA has been administered efficiently or inefficiently. The morals of government are inextricably involved in the TVA. And also involved is a great question of governmental policy that cannot help but affect every taxpayer, every worker, every investor, and every private enterprise in this country. Millions of thinking citizens will be watching the TVA investigation. They want the truth—plain and unprejudiced. THE HARD WAY Talk of finding sermons in rocks! Californians, preplexed and harrassed by appalling public debt and the multiplicity of taxes incident to expansion of federal, state and local governmental agencies, should read the annual report of State Controller Harry B. Riley on financial transactions of California's major political subdivisions. Startling disclosures in that report, filed only a few days ago, bring home to each individual citizen social and economic lessons of vital importance. We learn, for instance, that state government in 1937 cost an amazing total of $217,000,000 as against $87,000,000 in 1927—an unprecedented increase of $130,000,000 in ten years. We are told the state's 58 counties and 279 cities, in the fiscal year 1936-1937, actually went into the red almost $43,000,000. And the bonded debt of the cities of the state high-jumped 55.01 per cent in the 10-year period from 1927 to 1937. Marked disposition on the part of the people to curtail public borrowing and the straining of public credit against the inevitable day of reckoning certainly should be augmented by this concrete evidence of the state's spending splurge. The findings of the report constitute a striking indictment of the Garrison Bond Bill and other measures designed to encourage the voting of further bonded indebtedness by re- GRADUATION AT ARTHURDALE— ARTHURDALE, W.

Roosevelt was scheduled last week to dress the high school graduation class at Arthurdale, the substance homestead community cloak to her heart, President Roosevelt announced he would fill his vocation—using a national radio hookup—and instead of sparing Mrs. Roosevelt attended commencement hop where she square - danced, Virgins funds to lift ourselves above average level of condition in California. "Our position, therefore, is relief will be denied when work is available under conditions that are prevailing. Of course will not have our organization used to help those who wield chisel under prevailing standards but otherwise our position stands." The soundness—and absurdity—of such a ruling will thusastically received by farmers who have had experience with "unemployed who refused work at prevailing farm wages because they could as much or more in relief materials without the inconvenience of working for their "paycheck." It is to be regretted that federal relief agencies have added a much more lenient attitude than the state, however. For it is a growing realization that part of many students of pre-day conditions that relief never will be purged of the day and the shiftless until drastic action is taken to weed out chiselers. At the present time, California state relief rolls harbor nearly 000 cases, representing 24 persons—nearly 20,000 more were on state relief at this point. $43,000,000. And the bonded debt of the cities of the state high-jumped 55.01 per cent in the 10-year period from 1927 to 1937. Marked disposition on the part of the people to curtail public borrowing and the straining of public credit against the inevitable day of reckoning certainly should be augmented by this concrete evidence of the state's spending splurge. The findings of the report constitute a striking indictment of the Garrison Bond Bill and other measures designed to encourage the voting of further bonded indebtedness by removal of the traditional safeguard of a two-thirds vote requirement. The text of the sermon to be found in the report is responsibility of the individual citizen. In the last analysis it is up to the people themselves to say how far government shall go. If we persist in delegating to others rights and privileges we should exercise ourselves, we shall have to get out of our financial difficulties the hard way. The Farmers Corner by Ralph H. Taylor Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California Persons who refuse to accept work at prevailing wages, whatever those prevailing wages are, will be denied relief this year by the state relief administration! That firm declaration of policy of Harold E. Pomeroy, state relief administrator, certainly deserves the hearty commendation of California agriculture and all California taxpayers. Pomeroy's statement was in answer to the demands of radical groups which had insisted that the state provide haven and support for persons refusing to work for wages which they considered too low. "We can't use public relief to change conditions throughout the state," the state relief administrator declared in his enunciation of policy. "That would mean bankruptcy for the state. We haven't enough money from tax funds to do that. "If business, agriculture, or industry can only pay a certain wage, then we can't give relief to those who refuse to work at that figure." "We can't lift ourselves by our own bootstraps above the general level of conditions in the United States and we can't use relief It would be unfair to conclude the great majority of those not relief in California as undeserved for no one can discount them that many are victims of conditions which were beyond control and will gladly take when it is available. For those who can't help themselves, the state must provide But it is equally true that the lands of California taxpayers have been able to keep their home above water by dint of hard work and refused to be licked, are separately in need of law enforcement the earliest possible opportunity. With one out of seven on riot it is time for all government officials to consider the welfare of the industrious workers who packing the load for the idle. It is certainly time to crack on on those who refuse work because the wages or working condition don't appeal to them and yet poct to be fed and supported they await a return to high scales.

This appendix cannot be allowed to remain in its present state of high inflammation. If such a dangerous condition is neglected the inflamed appendix would burst one day instantly infect all Europe with political peritonitis." Henlein suggested three alternative appendectomies: (1) local autonomy for the Sudetens, with foreign and national affairs to be administered from Prague. (2) A plebiscite under foreign control to determine whether the Sudetens want to be citizens of Germany or Czechoslovakia. (3) If Czech repression of the Sudetens continues, their resentment may one day force the German government by direct action to bring them within the frontiers of the Reich. But this time Herr Henlein had apparently let one cat too many out of the bag. The German minister in Prague received a telephoned dressing down from Berlin, the Sudeten party leaders went into a hurried conference, and soon a party communique denied that Henlein had given any such interview. It appeared that for the present Germany is not ready for talk of "direct action." FISH INSTINCT— SEATTLE — U.

At the commencement exercises, parents and friends of the 13 hill children graduating clustered around as President Roosevelt greeted them and, over their heads, addressed all school graduating classes, all the people. Congress, the president told them, had in its new 1938 tax bill flouted two "very fundamental principles" of government: (1) In alleviating for small business the tax on undistributed profits it had reopened the loophole for big business to avoid taxes. (2) "This new bill wholly eliminates the progressive tax principle with respect to . . . capital profits; at exactly the same rate." For these reasons, he said, he gravely disapproved the tax bill.

Arthurdale gave Franklin a rousing hand for his speech, but in Washington there was a different reaction. Judging by what he had said, the president, it was charged, had not read the new tax bill, or had not understood it. Among those most concerned was Senator Pat Harrison, democratic chairman of the senate finance committee, who insisted that "American principles and government principles of long standing" had not been abandoned in the tax bill which he had helped write.

INFLAMED APPENDIX— PRAGUE—Thousands of Czechoslovakians last week went to bed with gas masks at their bedsides, while by decree every Czech citizen was ordered to own a gas mask before the end of June. For although Czechs hoped that the German-Czech crisis had passed, the conversations between Fuehrer Konrad Henlein of the Sudeten (Nazi) party and Primier Milan Hodza on settlement of Sudeten grievances, came to a halt last week as Fuehrer Henlein journeyed to Cheb to stage an impressive propaganda funeral for the "new Nazi martyrs" killed there fortnight ago. Meanwhile, as Berlin and Prague swapped grievances, largely over border violations, Konrad Henlein made answer to the question—"Just what do the Sudetens want?"—in an interview with the London pro-German "Daily Mail" G. Ward Price. Said Henbleys, silverware were discovered—to an estimated value of $20,000 before the vein was worked out.

J.—Charles Balaban is an amiable fellow whose drug store in Camden is a hangout for mopups of the nearby Yorkship elementary school. Month ago he had an idea for currying the favor and patronage of their parents. To Yorkship school's 250 pupils he announced that each youngster who received an A in deportment on his monthly report card would get one 15-cent ice cream-soda on the house. Presently, in breathless twos and threes, the first arrivals raced up to Balaban's soda fountain, exhibited their A's. Balaban amiably began to set them up. Soon they came by tens, and twenties. Balaban ran out of straws, glasses, soda, ice cream. By nightfall 110 good little boys and girls had claimed their prizes. Druggist Balaban prudently withdrew his offer. Meanwhile School Superintendent Leon Nelson Neilen enlisted: "The important thing is how long they will maintain their good behavior record."

PUMP AND POLLIS—WASHINGTON—Just how to lend and spend $2,816,905,000 to halt Depression II was the main subject before the senate last week. But the pump-priming debate was soon drowned out by a poll-priming wrangle, precipitated by Montana's bitter Senator Wheeler, who announced that he had just learned that Harry Hopkins, dispenser of one-half the billions in the relief bill, had announced his choice (Congressman Otha Wearin for senator in Iowa's primary election). Said Wheeler: "I was shocked. . . Members of the senate, and myself, frequently have denounced corporations which place slips in the pay envelopes saying, 'You should vote for such hand such candidate.' . . Has the congress built a Frankenstein over which it has no control? Majority Leader Alen Barkley, anxious to quell the poll-priming storm, was quick to rally to WPA Administrator Hopkins' cause, said that "Mr. Hopkins did not volunteer that statement in order to influence a vote, but simply made it realize how difficult sometimes it is to avoid answering a newspaper inquiry." But soon all Washington learned just how Harry Hopkins had found himself in his predicament. Iowa's Otha Wearin was encouraged when his opponent, Senator Guy Mark Gillette, fell into bad repute with the White House by voting against the president's supreme court bill last year. Calling the press one day last week to announce the administration was behind him. Wearin was asked to Lemon Institute to be Held at Ontario As a substitute for the annual lemon growers field day held by the Orange county extension service and the farm bureau citrus department, Farm Advisor Harold E.

KC BAKING POWDER Manufactured by balding powder Specialists who make nothing but baking powder—under supervision of expert chemists. of the youth problem, sank a sample shaft in Maryland, where 35 trained interviewers polled 13,258 representative young people at home, on street corners, in drugstores, in dance halls. This week, as the commission published its 255-page report "Youth Tell Their Story," Youth had its say about its own problems, and to many the diagnosis was shocking. Youth's biggest worries were neatly summed up by one youngerster thus: "The problem is how to get married on $15 a week." Other hard facts: "Marriage and Family": Four out of three youngsters (including almost half the married couples) are living with their parents. Nearly all want to marry, have a home and children (but not so many as their parents). "School": Maryland's average youth leaves school at the end of the ninth grade, yet the high school graduate is paid 50% more than the youngster who did not finish elementary school. "Work": Three million U.S. youngsters between 16 and 24 are unemployed today. Three out of ten in Maryland were jobless, some had been jobhunting as long as seven years. "Play": even youth's fun was depressing, for youth hunts fun mostly alone or in pairs instead of groups. About one-half the boys and girls drink. A large part of U.S. youth today is apathetic, discontented, increasingly prone to look to the federal government to do its thinking and planning. Only one in ten is a rugged individualist, one in 25 a radical. The commission found the chances were 3 to 1 that the son of a laborer will not rise to a job on the whitecollar level, and concluding that Youth's story is ominous for democracy's future, it recommended more education, more jobs, more guidance, more fun. Its warning: "Unpleasant stories are told of operators of coal properties who . . . mine only the richer veins and leave the smaller ones to cave in. This coal, it is said, is forever lost. Somehow this sort of thing reminds us that youth, too, never comes again." TROUBLE— ANADARKO, Oklahoma—Hard Luck Harry of the whole U.S. last week was J. D. Whisenhunt, funeral parlor proprietor of Ana- But soon all Washington learned just how Harry Hopkins had found himself in his predicament. Iowa's Otha Wearin was encouraged when his opponent, Senator Guy Mark Gillette, fell into bad repute with the White House by voting against the president's supreme court bill last year. Calling the press one day last week to announce the administration was behind him, Wearin was asked to prove it. Ask anybody—ask Harry Hopkins, said Wearin. To Hopkins went the press, but he would say nothing. Then he changed his mind, and Washington newshawks were fairly well satisfied that he had been spoken to by adroit Tommy Corcoran of the president's political staff. His press agent called in a reporter, who wrote out what Hopkins said to him and handed it back for approval: "If I were still voting in Iowa, I would vote for Wearin on his record." Hopkins, not quite sure if he had ever voted in his native Iowa struck out "still," gave Wilson back his story. KANSAS CITY DENVER ST.

Somehow this sort of thing reminds us that youth, too, never comes again." TROUBLE— ANADARKO, Oklahoma—Hard Luck Harry of the whole U. S. last week was J. D. Whisenhunt, funeral parlor proprietor of Anadarko. Whisenhunt received a telegram saying his wife was near death in a Kansas City hospital. Leaving a daughter seriously ill with whooping cough, he flew to Kansas City, found his wife better, but received a message that his daughter was worse. He flew black. Alighting from his plane at Oklahoma City he sprained his ankle. Limping to a 'phone, he learned his daughter was rallying, his wife slipping. So Whisenhunt flew back to Kansas City. There he developed, in quick succession. In Seattle A GREAT HOTEL IN A GREAT CITY ... FROM $239 NEW WASHINGTON Hotel THOMAS H.
