RELIEF SHAKE-UP Since the turning upside-down of the state relief administration in Orange county last week by Governor Olson's new state administrator, a variety of rumors have arisen to explain the reason behind it. It is averred by some that the widespread changes in personnel which have taken place in most of the state since Director Rubinow’s appointment represents only the sincere desire of the new head to eliminate the waste and political pay-offs that have all too often characterized SRA employment in the past. Rubinow, it appears, has a good record in the department of agriculture, and it may very well be that he has given the none-too-plessant mission of weeding out drones, and of making the administration of relief funds a little more businesslike than it has been, which heaven knows, ought to be easy of accomplishment. After all, it is pointed out, this threatened attempt at recalling Governor Olson is getting perilously near the point where there are sufficient names to call such a recall election. If that takes place, there will be a large number of candidates among them some ex-members of the Olson official family. A powerful talking point against Olson is the manner in which he has handled relief funds during time he has... he has been given the none-too-pleasant mission of weeding out the drones, and of making the administration of relief funds a little more businesslike than it has been, which, heaven knows, ought to be easy of accomplishment. After all, it is pointed out, this threatened attempt at recalling Governor Olson is getting perilously near the point where there are sufficient names to call such a recall election. If that takes place, there will be a large number of candidates among them some ex-members of the Olson official family. A powerful talking point against Olson is the manner in which he has handled relief funds during the time he has been in office. If the situation in that regard is remedied now, it may be that the potency of the argument against the governor in this regard will be materially lessened. On the other hand, it has been contended by some that the hue and cry of reorganization covers, in reality, an attempt one month before the primary election, to hoodwink all who are connected, in any way, with the relief problem in this state into believing that the economy bloc in the legislature is responsible for "enforced starvation," the phrase which the governor used several months ago in his futile attempt to obtain complete dominion over the distribution of relief funds. At that time, the governor actually cut one semi-monthly payment of relief checks by 40 percent in an effort to prejudice those on relief against the anti-Olson legislators. It will further be recalled, however, that the next payment was completely restored when an immediately demanded audit demonstrated that the cut was not at all necessary. The Olson administration lost some face from that attempt at politics. Further along this line, it is said that the governor has promised “to take care” of those faithful who have been laid off from their relief jobs providing; however, that they perform good service during the coming election,and aid in purging anti-Olson legislators. Speculation over all such whys and whetetofores of the local and statewide changes may be interesting but every conscientious citizen in this state is interested only in an honest,economical,non-political administrationof relief funds where every unemployed person who can meetthe requirementswill receivethereliefwhich-heneeds,andwithno waste or corruptioninthen process.Ourpeoplearenotinterested inmachinationsormanipulationstogainselfishends whethertheybeintheliref administratiornorinyanyotherdepartmentgovernment.

If, as the governor has intimated, the number of unemployed has risen in this state to such a point that there are not enough monies available to care for all of them, the legislation could meet any emergency on a few hours notice, and appropriate any money which might be necessary. But 1940 is an election year, and August is an election month. Votes must be obtained and contests must be victorious. Perhaps before too many days roll by, the real purpose of the activity of Governor Olson’s new relief administrator will come to light. And all will hope that that activity has been motivated by one, and only one cause; better administration of relief funds in California. Tourney Planned at Arena Monday Something entirely new in the way of wrestling shows is to be presented by Promoter Harry Lowis at the Orange County Athletic club arena next Monday night.

WYOMING REUNION The annual summer picnic under the auspices of the Wyoming State Society of Southern California will be held Sunday, August 4, at Sycamore Grove park Los Angeles. All counties and the state university will have registers. HE MEASURES UP TO ITI The seeds of bureaucracy and despotism, once they are allowed to take hold in government, spread like Bermuda grass in a lawn—and unless rooted out, they simply fake over! There is little need to cite the proof of that statement. It is on every hand. Government agencies, during recent years, have come to act as judge, jury and executioner. Bureau sets up to administer the laws have taken over the function of enacting laws—by issuing rules and regulations which have the effect of law. They have sat in judgment, with quasi-judicial powers, to weigh the fate of all who have offended them. The net effect has been to put agriculture, business and industry—and all the individuals employed by them—the mercy of an army of pretty bureaucrats, who have forgotten that they are public servants, and who set themselves up as despots, with the power to make laws, administre them and penalize all who violate them. As a consequence both in national and state government we have acquired a multiplicity of minor distatorships each jealous of its own powers; each seeking greater authority; each violating both the letter and the spirit of democracy. What can we do about it? power of life and death over the people who pay their salaries. Their contention, of course, is that if bureau decisions are subject to review in the courts “big business” will be able to prevent "progressive reforms" by long-drawn court appeals. But the average farmer, who has been examined and inspected investigated and commanded by bureaus without end; and who has sometimes despaired of finding any time for his farming, will doubtless agree with the writer that there is more fear today from "big government" than from "big business." If a bureau's decisions can't stand examination in an American courthroom then there's something wrong with the bureau and its administration. Certainly the error isn't in this country's system of checks and balances predicated on three separate branches of government — legislative administrative judicial. In California,the issue is brought sharply into focus by the DeLap constitutional amendment which was approved bythe legislature for submissionto the voters at thе forthcoming November election.
