Editorial SUBSIDIES VERSUS HOME RULE Governor John W. Bricker, in a speech at Wenatchee, Wash., struck out at the "subsidy theory" of New Deal financing as another threat to home rule and individual freedom which must be erased in November. Governor Bricker condemned the federal "payments in lieu of taxes" to local communities as a means of forcing local governments to "pay homage" to the national administration, and urged local taxation instead. Bricker also called for allocation of revenue sources for federal, state and local taxation; state reciprocity to eliminate double taxation on the same incomes, and freedom of local schools from "federal subsidization" which, he said, threatens to give the Washington regime control over all the country's education systems. "Make no mistake about it," said the Republican nominee, "the most effective way to abolish the independence of state and local governments—and with it, home rule in America—is by taking away their financial independence." "An excellent illustration of the subsidy theory," Bricker declared, was the recent proposal that the federal government grant financial aid to public schools.

INFILTRATION It has become apparent to the Communists that they can not be successful in America by agitating directly for a revolutionary change in our government. They therefore have determined to attain it by a slow process of evolution brought about by gaining influence within the existing organizations—political, labor, and social. Toward this end they discontinued the political party format of their own group, and in January of this year became a political "association." Their announced purpose is to achieve collaboration with "broader circles" of American life. The infiltration technique is to be applied on a big scale. Earl Browder knows that open Communist approval of any political candidate is the kiss of death to that candidate in all except one or two small areas of the country. He also knows that any candidate on a national ticket must repudiate the Communist support even though he actually welcomes it. Browder has never bothered about appearances. He is quite willing to receive a public brushoff from his candidate if that is necessary to the campaign. Repudiation or not, the Communists continue to work for Roosevelt's election with undiminished zeal. They know what they are doing. PRINCIPLES, NOT PERSONALITIES On Tuesday, November 7, the people of America will have a vital choice to make. It is not a choice between two men or between two parties. It is a choice between two concepts of government—two ways of life. If we fail to grasp this fact, we miss the basic issue of this Presidential election, and we may be led to support the forces which, if not checked, must eventually undermine the very foundation of our democratic government. So, this is a time for straight, hard thinking. It is not a time for emotionalism. This is a time to ponder principles. It is not a time to worship at the altar of prejudice and personality. Writing to a San Francisco newspaper, one person said, "In an election such as this one in the midst of tragedy and in the face of uncertainty ahead, the person who is overcome by emotionalism, or who permits himself to be swayed by voice or who casts his ballot for the sake of greed, destroys the solemnity of his duty, and blemishes his sacred right. If he acts upon fear he is a coward." These are strong words, but they are worthy of our consideration, for what we, the people, decide now will have its effects for many years to come. In making our decision; we should remember that no person nor political group is perfect. They all have serious faults. Isolationism is not the exclusive property of any one party. UnAmerican ideologies under one guise or another are found in many camps. Nor is this election between Sidney Hillman and Herbert Hoover. When the "shouting and the tumult dies," when the charges and counter-charges have ended, then the voter must speak. He must decide whether we are going to stop the trend away from the basic American principles which guided the nation in its first 150 years of existence, or whether in the name of another emergency we are going to increase that trend. Let us hope the decision is made on principles, not personalities. FILL THE WAR CHEST In the production of things that mean destruction to our enemies, California has been zealous. Planes, ships and munitions have flowed to the war zones in ever-increasing measure, to fill the enemy with foreboding of defeat.

He must decide whether we are going to stop the trend away from the basic American principles which guided the nation in its first 150 years of existence, or whether in the name of another emergency we are going to increase that trend. Let us hope the decision is made on principles, not personalities. FILL THE WAR CHEST In the production of things that mean destruction to our enemies, California has been zealous. Planes, ships and munitions have flowed to the war zones in ever-increasing measure, to fill the enemy with foreboding of defeat. Equal zeal and whole-hearted generosity will provide the things that mean life and hope to our friends and loved ones abroad, to our men in service and to the unfortunate among us at home. That means contributing to the War Chest to the utmost of our ability. The wretched and homeless of friendly nations look to the American War Chest for funds to sustain life until the ravages of war can be repaired. Our sons in uniform look to the Chest for countless aids to morale. Every family with a boy or girl in service knows the vital work of the USO, the camp shows, the War Prisoners Aid, Seamen's Services and Field Services. California's quota in the current War Chest drive is $20,000,000. It is not a large sum compared with the incomes of our people, nor with the amount spent for luxuries at home. But it is a vastly important sum, based on the humanitarian work accomplished by the numerous agencies it finances. The War Chest means life to countless thousands. It means help for the stricken. It means hope to American boys held in prisoner of war camps. Their voices beseech us to give until the War Chest overflows! Nellie M. Twiggs Taken By Death Nellie M.

Richmond of the County's Republican Central Committee today launched into the final days of the important 1944 Presidential election. "I am confident of a Republican victory at the polls next Tuesday," the chairman, an Orange attorney, declared. "The free-holders of America are, I am convinced, sick of the New Deal's bungling and its long list of broken promises—and they want a change to a fresh, vigorous new administration which Governor Dewey could drive." "The freeborn citizens of this country, alarmed at the communist tentacles and boss-politics influences growing more apparent in our national government, will express their indignation at the polls by their votes against a fourth term." Richmond noted that, while there is a Republican majority of voters in this country, solid blocks of Democrats have swung to the Dewey-Bricker ticket and that the results would be an even more impressive victory for the G.P. program.

Collins of Fullerton and representing the Seventy-Fifth Assembly District, today urged passage of Proposition Three on the November Seventh General Election ballot. Collins declared adoption of Proposition Three is "in the interest of fair play and good government." "The salaries of the State Controller, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction and Lieutenant Governor have been FROZEN in the State Constitution since 1908, and at rates based on their duties at that time," Collins said. "The state has grown tremendously since 1908, and so have the duties of these five important legislative constitutional officers." "Proposition Three places these officials on the same basis as other state officers and employees, by authorizing the legislature to determine their proper compensation on the basis of their present duties and responsibilities."

Schmelzer, as well as all other workers in the campaign, are highly elated over the fact that Anaheim over-subscribed its quota to the War Fund long before the deadline, which is November 11. 500 Enlisted Men Arrive at Seal Beach Naval Depot Barracks have been completed to house approximately 500 enlisted Navy personnel who arrived this week at the Seal Beach Naval Ammunition and Net Depot. About 50 Marine guards also arrived at the base during the week. Captain A. B. McCrary, commanding officer of the base, said there would be approximately 1500 enlisted men stationed at the depot when full operations were begun, and about 600 civilians would also be employed. Full operation of the plant is expected to begin about the latter part of this year, McCrary said. Part of the Navy property on the beach, formerly the Seal Beach peninsula, will be converted to a recreational district for personnel and civilian employees. The Navy is making arrangements for its own bus line from the base to metropolitan areas to eliminate congestion and overcrowding of local lines, it was said. The bus line will maintain an hourly schedule to permit adequate connections with other transportation facilities in nearby cities.—Seal Beach Post.

He usually cited a definite case to substantiate every phase of his argument, pointing out that there has already been a decrease of 23 percent in the assessed value of some downtown business property, and 37 percent decrease on the value of the improvements due to lack of parking space. The engineering phase of the problem is already solved, he said, and the matter now becomes a financial problem which every city will have to work out for itself, he continued, offering many worthwhile suggestions along this line.
