Small lob o'ttieWotfo News from Walkermine by Bessie LaVerne Hall WALKERMINE, June 3 With new transformers and lines being erected throughout Walkermine, an increased supply of electric power is assured for residents here. The work is in charge of Chief Electrician Ingalls. Three long-time employees of the electric shop have resigned, Fred Adams, Eugene Black and George Mitchell. The Walkermine Softball League was organized this week under auspices of the Walkermine Welfare Committee.

There are three teams representing the mine itself, a machine shop team, mill, office, high school and boarding house teams. The schedule calls for a game every other "night in the week. A new recreation room, furnished with ping-pong tables, chess tables, and horseshoe pitching course, also sponsored by the welfare committee, will provide further for the leisure hours of the employees here.

The act was in reprisal for the bombing of a Nazi warship by Spanish Loyalist planes. A press dispatch says, "Germany has advised Great Britain and France that she considers the bombardment of Almeria by a German war fleet to have given her the satisfaction she required for the bombing by loyalist planes of the battleship Deutschland," and it appears that temporarily all parties are appeased. The 20 innocent dead do not speak. Whether this incident is the spark that sets off another European conflagration, the developments of the next week or two will tell. It would be presumptuous to believe that sooner or later the heavily armed nations will not engage in war.

No track meet in the world, not a trophy or an award, is worth such a sacrifice or such a risk. The high school trustees might be well advised to get a report on what happened Saturday, take the testimony of the doctors as to the advisabiliy of the mile run in high school competition, and, if the conclusion is justified, eliminate it from future meets in Plumas county.

The 15 were fishing in a restricted area at the east end of the Chester Causeway over the north Lake Almanor dam. Several youngsters at the grammar school Scandal at Sacramento too far to consider the rights of the taxpayer who foots the bill. In fairness to the labor leadership at Sacramento, however, it should be pointed out that the more conservative representatives, who were willing to "give and take" and "live and let live," were constantly embarrassed and jammed by the demands of radicals, fighting for command of the labor fores and seeking spectacular victories to aid their cause. To these radical groups, the fact that drastic increases in the costs of workmen's Compensation insurance would have boosted the of them had parked their automo biles on the causeway. Traffic Officer Tom Eisenhuth Farmer's Corner By Ralph h.

Taylor EXECUTIVE SECRETARY AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL OF CALIFORNIA asked the owners to move the cars, and took the occasion to call the anglers' attention to "No Pishing" signs. One of the men was propped up against one of the signs. His advice was greeted by a "cus sing" from one of the men, who A MAJOR SCANDAL has finally broken over the state legislature. There is hardly a citizen over 21 who has not heard whispers that bribe money is a common commodity at Sacramento. The cynical believed it.

The idealistic denied that such things could be. But now a high ranking legislator. Senator Olson, says it is so. His charges should be they must be investigated down to the last dotted i and crossed t. If this thing is allowed to taper off in the public prints, as so often happens, the confidence of the 'people in democratic government will be shaken forever in California.

is Every legal resource of the'aState should be brought to bear to ascertain whether the charges are true or false. Let there be no passing of the buck to an ineffectual grand jury system. Some of the bitter complaints of radical members of the State during post-mortems told Eisenhuth the fish and game laws were none of his business. "And you can tell the game warden to take a jump in the creek, too," he added. Eisenhuth, being a very accommodating young man, dutifully farmer's overhead by millions of dollars was of no consequence.

Their theory, apparently, was "Let the farmer take care of himself; we're paid to take care of labor!" and in passing, it should be noted that the farmer did take care of himself -with the result that the were killed. The same radical wing, again with complete disregard of the farmer's rights, sought to force shod over the rights of the people as a whole. To the fact and thlit fact alone can be credited the defeat of almost the entire labor, program at the 1937 session. Labor never started a session with better prospects nor ended with less. And the sober, thoughtful mem- on the session just ended, are reminiscent of the classic remark of a father, suffering prom parental blindness, who exclaimed, as his son's regiment paraded by: "Everybody's out of step but my PATIENTS bers of labor recognize full well Seven patients were discharged "ohn!

The truth of the matter, however, is that the 1937 Legislature, when it convened, promised to be one of the most liberal in the life in disgrace. But let the issue be brought to a head one way or the other, without delay -and without hedging. The people of this state want to know just who and what is rotten at Sacramento.
