KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. NONSENSE ONLY We note that a state-wide group of Young Democrats, meeting over the week end in Bakersfield, have offered their own program of liberalism for the incoming state administration. Besides such trite planks as freeing Tom Mooney, and repealing the criminal syndicalism act, this meeting brought forth some other ideas which should prove rather alarming to the straight thinking people of Orange county, regardless of their party politics nationally. For example, the Young Democrats favor putting the produce and products of self-help co-operatives (which are financed and promoted by the taxpayers' dollars) on the market to compete with private business. Besides that, they are on record as favoring the so-called "Little Red Schoolhouse" bill, which was fortunately defeated in Sacramento in 1937. That bill, had it become law, would have taken from the school board of any school district the right to deny the use of our public school buildings to agitators of all classes. It is difficult to understand, to say the very least, how the modern disciples of Jeffersonian democracy, can champion such a cause. Such a program is neither Democratic nor Republican nor "Liberal" nor wise. It should receive the condemnation of all good Californians, as, we prophecy, it will. FROM THE PEDESTAL The American people have ever been inclined to indulge in wholesale adulation of public characters, whether public officials, screen stars, radio personalities, or what not. Given FROM THE PEDESTAL The American people have ever been inclined to indulge in wholesale adulation of public characters, whether public officials, screen stars, radio personalities, or what not. Given the opportunity, our people shower attention on those whom fate has singled out to stand out in their field. Sometimes, many times, we forget that all of us, high or low, famed or forgotten, are, after all, human, subject alike to the frailities of humankind. Thus, this week, when at least one outstanding radio and screen personality stood before the federal ban of justice in New York, and entered his plea of guilty to charges of smuggling, thousands of his "public", were widely shocked. Here was an individual who had brought laughter to untold thousands or millions, voluntarily assuming guilt for a very serious offense. Here was one to whom wealth had come in abundance, taking part in a plan to break the law, to defraud the government of its just due. Ahead of him lies a possible jail sentence and a fine. Down from the pedestal where ardent, enthusiastic fans had placed him, he has suddenly fallen. No one knows how much of his public has left him—and all because of what may well have been an unsuccessful attempt to do something exciting, something wrong. To his credit, it must be said that he did plead guilty, and that, apparently, he has offered the government help in cleaning out a ring of smuggling that has been going on all too long. Beyond that, his case furnishes one more illustration of the fact that laws are made for all to follow; punishment awaits any who does not. WHERE HAVE WE BEEN? This week, Lt. Governor-elect Ellis Patterson made the statement "we are going to bring California back into the union after these many years of mis-rule." Well. Mr. Patterson, we've just been trying to get along these last few years—and we have been trying to balance the state budget. Maybe that's the reason, we've been out of step lately. It isn't fashionable, apparently, to balance governmental budgets these days. Anyway, just where have we been? And, also, please, where do you want to take us? MORE BUREAUCRACY Nothing more outrageous, either from the standpoint of common justice or ordinary business sense, has been perpetrated by the National Labor Relations Board than its order that the Douglas Aircraft corporation reinstate 32 sit-down strikers with full back pay. It is characteristic of MORE BUREAUCRACY Nothing more outrageous, either from the standpoint of common justice or ordinary business sense, has been perpetrated by the National Labor Relations Board than its order that the Douglas Aircraft corporation reinstate 32 sit-down strikers with full back pay. It is characteristic of bureaucratic conceit and reckless disregard of decency that it should encourage lawlessness and discourage sound business practices by such an order as this. Eleven of these men were convicted of felony: all of them deliberately undertook to destroy or damage the value of the employer's property. All of them violated the laws protecting the rights of private property. What sort of service will they render if restored to their jobs? How can they be depended on for any loyalty? How can the aircraft corporation be sure that they will not commit vengeful acts of sabotage which may result in the loss of human lives? If this decision of the labor board stands, no industry in America is safe. This one act of the bureaucrats is sufficient to justify the drastic amendment or abolition of the law as it stands.—Fullerton Daily News Tribune. "ALL IS FORGIVEN!" After serving two years in penient exile, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor are to be welcomed home at long last to England. This was the gist of the meetings between the Duke and Prime Minister Chamberlain in Paris recently, and last week the ex-king's brother, the Duke of Kent, again confirmed it. The first of England's 38 monarchs to abdicate, the former Prince of Wales is now the first of the world's exiled royalty to receive Christmas greetings, "Welcome home, all is forgiven!" THE OLD SHIRT NEEDS MENDING WAGNER LABOR RELATIONS LAW The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California to see ourselves as others see consider the report, just renamed by the United States chambers of commerce, dealing with income—and its importance in the business community! that part of the population of nation directly and indirectly money income is necessary in order to obtain food that cannot be produced on the farm, to purchase clothing, farm implements and supplies and many other commodities which are products of other industries and which are essential for the maintenance of adequate culture for commodities pass into retail channels. And in addition, practically all of the expenditures for wages and a varying proportion of other expenditures, such as local taxes, go directly into retail trade. In the pre-depression year of 1929, the amount of farm income directly available for commodity purchases, $6,872,000,000, plus $955,000,000 paid out to farm labor, comprised a total of $7,827,000,000. This was equivalent to 15.5 percent of the total sales of that year, which amounted to $49,600,000,000. Turning to means of increasing farm income and curing the problem of over-production, the business analysis finds: "On the whole, the possibility of materially-increasing the cash income of agriculture lies chiefly in the expansion of industry, with a consequent increase in consumer income. "Exports may be increased if competition justify, but the increased demand from domestic markets may be brought about because means than increasing power of consumers, limited to that which is from the maintenance of time of supply from year in the closest practical ment to demand." The chamber's reportally concludes with the statement that the best opportunity increase in the income of farmers consists of: Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California To see ourselves as others see, consider the report, just rened by the United States chamter of commerce, dealing with income—and its importance the business community! That part of the population of nation directly and indirectly associated with agriculture number more than 50 million, the number finds, or approximately per cent of the total population in the country. Actually living on farms are 32 million, or 25 per cent of the enpopulation. And farm purchasing power is of the most vital factors in demining the economic strength— weakness—of the entire nation! Interesting to farmers, not that new, but that it means mettallian America has recognized act which farmers long have apted, is this primary conclubule by the U. S. chamber. Anything approaching selfefficacy in farm life belongs to a peer stage which has now passin American agriculture. A money income is necessary in order to obtain food that cannot be produced on the farm, to purchase clothing, farm implements and supplies and many other commodities which are products of other industries and which are essential for the maintenance of adequate living standards. An income in the form of currency is also necessary to meet the demands of organized society for the maintenance of political and social institutions through the payment of taxes and the making of contributions." The inter-relation of agricul­tral industry with that of retail trade is especially close, according to the chamber's study. For, con­trary to the practice in most industries, purchases by farmers are almost entirely at retail. Even goods used in production, which in other industries would be bought through wholesalers or direct from manufacturer, are bought from leaders who are classed as retailers. Consequently, practically all the direct expenditures of agri- IT'S FUN TO GIVE ELECTRICAL GIFTS AND FOLKS APPRECIATE GETTING THEM, TOO It's easy to select electrical gifts that people really appreciate.

"Exports may be increased if the world price justifies production for this purpose and if adequate outlets can be provided. Production for industrial uses may be expanded if competitive prices justify, but the increase in the income from domestic marketings for human consumption which may be brought about by other means than increasing the buying power of consumers, appears to be limited to that which may result from the maintenance of the volume of supply from year to year in the closest practicable adjustment to demand." The chamber's report, incidentally, concludes with the statement that the best opportunity for an increase in the income of individual farmers consists of: First, the absorption into industrial activities of a larger proportion of the population, particularly that represented by the farm population now located on land of a marginal character. And second, the bringing about of such an adjustment in the productivity of the remaining farmers "that will be ample supplies of food and fiber, thus allowing that portion of the national income expended for these products to be distributed to fewer farmers and therefore in larger individual amounts."
