EQUITY LETTER
Issued by Order of Legislative
Committee.

There has been a great deal of
newspaper talk in regard to the
Teigen investigating committee
and every effort has been made
by the Chamber of Commerce,
the Board Of Trade of Duluth,
and the grain marketing inter
ests in st. Paul to defeat the in
vestigation.
The object of the investigation
is to ascertain the conditions sur
rounding the marketing of grain
in all the markets of the state
but the interests above men-
toned allied themselves together
denouncing the investigation and
loudly proelaiming there was no
reason for it. BY way of passing
it might be well to say that the
very earnestneSs with which
they denounced the investigation
created a suspicion in the minds
of a great many of the members
of the Legislature that there was
something which the Chamber of
Commerce and it's allies were
anxious to conceal and finally led
the House to appoint the com.
mittee and give it assistance SC
it might enter upon the investi.
cation.
The result of the first days
session Of the committee, held
March 7th, fully justified the ap,
pointment of the same. As the

The matter Of a town hall was
not discussed at the annual meet
ing Tuesday, principally, we pre-
sumo because it was voted to
spend the limit on roads and
bridges. Some roads are still
badly needed and il we can not
have roads and town hall at the
same time, or If we shall choose
between the two, why then, of
course, let the roads come first.
They are Of more benefit to the
community and more of neces-
sity. While we still think the
big majority of the taxpayers in
the town are for a township
owned community hall, it is pro-
hahle that the majority would
not vote for it just at this time.
1t would add to our taxes and
that is the "sticker.' Many are
OF the opinion that taxes are
high enough now. With another
years wait the township owned
hall will probably carry. but let
us hope that In the meantime no
small private halls are built.
which can seat only part Of our
people. Ii we can unite on one
big public hall it will be a saving
to the community, and we will
be far better off than to have
several small ones. Another
thing is that with a township
owned hall each and every resi-
dent pays his share according to
the amount of property he has
and feels more free to use a
building of which he is part own
er. With n society owned hall
some people have to pony" up
a whole lot or the project will
never be carried through and
others who perhaps have not do
mated cent get more use out OF
the building.

The right community and
neighborhood spirit was certain
ly demonstrated here Saturday
when Chas. Lindstrofn was called
up over the phone and told that
his new neighbor, p. G. Christen-
sen Of Manila, Iowa, had arrived
with a carload OF goods. Mr..
Lindstrom Immediately sent
word to others in the neiqhbor-
hood and within an hour or two
there were five or six wagons
here to haul Mr.. Christensen
goods out. This is a good way of
extending a hearty welcome to
a new neighbor and so far as we
know 1t is always done here at
Askov. We don't mention this
instance because it is unusual,
but because it is worthy of men
ton. Let us always keep the
community spirit alive.

CADILLAC EIGHT
BEST CAR FROM AMERICA
Writer inIrish Motor Paper Enthusiastic
After 4O-Mile Winter Run

80 far as my experience goes, can
pronounce the Cadillac Eight the best
thing in the shape of a motor car that
has yet come to US from the land of
the Stars and Stripes"
Thus wrote an expert in The Motor
News Of Dublin, leading Irish motor
publication, after run Of 40 miles In
a Cadillac Eight, through slush and
congested traffic in the streets of Lon
don and over snow-covered roads in
the open country He goes on:
at is to all intents and purposes
one gear car, as you can use the top
speed Chigh gear on anything from
five to over sixty miles an hour The
acceleration is really wonderful. The
rate at which the car can jump from
creeping pace up to a mile per minute
was to me a revelation. This was not
my first introduction to the eight cyl
inder engine, having made a run sew
eral years ago in a De Dion with the
same number OF cylinders. The one
impression left on my mind in connec.
tion with that trip was the smooth run
ming of the engine described it then
as being pulled along by cable
There was not only the feeling OF
sweet and easy running, but the sense
of supreme and constant power as
we'll My forty mile run in the new
Cadillac in and out of traffic, through
slush and snow, up hill and on level,
was repetition Of my previous expert
ence

lac is some car, as it provides com.
fort bordering on luxury, speed far be-
yond ones requirement, and ease of
control so simple that a child could
drive it. Thanks to highly organized
factory and an enormous output. the
American company is able to put this
car on the market at price that al
most defies competition"

GREATEST OF ALL WARS

With the war entering upon ifs
fourth year this week, various review
ers have been discussing the general
phases of it. 1t is pointed out by the
Lierary Digest that the struggle, in
numbers engaged, in losses and in cost
has already far surpassed any other
war, ancient or domern. As indicating
the gigantic proportions of the con
lest. the following figures are cited:
No fewer than 100000 men were
under arms in the first year, and in
the same period 100000 we're killed,
nearly 100000 wounded, and more
than 100000 became prisoners. Our
Civil war had commonly been called
the greatest conflict of modern times,
but General Greence said it was only
one-tenth the magnitude reached by
this twentieth century conflict in a
single year. At no time did the num-
Der of men under arms, both North
and South, exceed 100000, while the
total of those who were killed in bat
tie and who died Of wounds on the
Northern side was only 10000, and
on the Southern side probably not
more than $4,000. In four years of
war in this country the destruction of
life was less than one-tenth of what
il was during a little more than one
year of the great war. And now we
are at the end Of the third year Of this
war.
IN the Napoleonic wars, from 1876
to 1876, the largest army ever assem-,
bled was that which Napoleon led into
Russia in 1912, but the number was
somewhat in excess Of only 100000
The German armies, sent in 1914
against Russia on the east and France
on the west, were more than six times
as large as ever Napoleon's were Tho
greatest previous battle in history
was probably what is known as the
DulllC VI luG ANAAAoIof ARdohA ~ A~N'f
zig in 1913, but the combatants on boeI
sides in that struggle numbered ONLY
100000. At Sadowa, in the war Of
Prussia against Austria in 1866, 1885,
900 were engaged; at GTavelotte, in
the war of Prussia against France in
1870, 100000; at Mukden, in the Russo
Japanese war of 1905, on a front Of
eighty miles and lasting three weeks,
100000. In the Great War the battle
front sometimes extended over twice
eighty miles. the decision on several
occasions was deferred for many
weeks-or, as at Verdun, for several
months-and the total Of men engaged
on one front at times was in the
neighborhood of 100000; at the
Marne, the total was perhaps 2,5OO,-
600.

" the hypocrisy Of German stase
craft and diplomacy had not been so
thoroughly exposed during the past
three years, some significance might
attach to the recent peace statement
OF Chancellor Michaelis. Under the
circumstances. however, the chancel-
lor's utterance can be regarded as
nothing more than an attempt to kick
up dust ard mislead the uninformed
in other nations
Herr Michaelis merely sings another
stanza OF the old song about Germany
being attacked by rapacious enemies
and fighting a defensive warfare. The
wolf concealed in the sleeps garb Is
too plainly outlined, however, for the
deception to accomplish it's purpose.
We have been told by no less dis.
tinguished German authority than DR..
Rosemier, former political editor of
the Berlin Morgenpost, that Germany
alone was responsible for starting the
war and that the whole thing was the
result of deliberately laid plans for
national aggression Furthermore. he
tells us, that lieing and deceit have
been glorified as a national duty by
the German war lords. The statement
of the latest chancellor is on a par
with previous expressions from the
same source and cannot, therefore, be
taken seriously.
