COW TESTING AND TAXES
Editor Askov American:


| wrote a couple of weeks ago
about getting a COW testing as
ISOLATION started, and | am still
at it. | stated it would cost about
$500 per herd per month and
then we could start as soon as we
had 26 herds signed up, but some
have objected as that being
rather high, and we can get it
done for quite a bit less; it will
take more signers and the tester
will have to take two herds a
day, so the cost will largely de
pend on the number of cows we
get signed up. We have at
present an offer from a man who
has had considerable experience
along that line, at $500 per COW
per year for less than 400 cows.
over 400 cows, $3.50 per COW per
year. | don't think anybody can
honestly say it is not worth that
much to find out what the cows
are doing, am going TO try to
see most of you this coming week
and have you sign up, as we will
have a meeting Saturday, April
IA. at l:30 p, m. in the town han

Legislature Stirred by Charges
Of Former University
Professor.

Another legislative investiga-
ton one that came without warn
ing and without generalization,
but having sensational possibili-
ties-is in progress at the state
capitol. 1t was ordered by the
house committee on the Univer-
sity and is aimed at the board of
regents, against whom serious
charges were made yesterday af-
ternoon by F. w. Sardeson, Ala
Harvard ST., S. E., who was a
member of the university faculty
for Is years prior to the year
1914. Mr.. Sardeson's charges are
that salaries have been paid to
instructors for services that have
not been rendered.
The investigation is in the
hands of subcommittee of FIVE
representatives, +. 0. 0ren of
Wells, chairman, B. H. Benson of
Erskine, Alex Kinneberg of Sta
piles, G. E. Strandemo of Medford
and Marius Waldal of Plummer.
All of these were present when
Mr.. Sardeson made his charges.
The latter has been summoned to
give his testimony in detail and
Others, who will be named by
him as having knowledge of the
facts involved, will be called to
testify.
Mr.. Sardeson did not appear
before the committee for the
purpose of preferring charges
against the board of regents or
the university management but
to urge the adoption of Rep. AL
bert Lager.tedt's resolution de
handing that the books and rec
ords of the board of regents
shall be open at all times for pub
lie inspection. To show the neces-
sity for such a rule Mr. Sardeson
referred to the fact that he had
been paid a years salary after
he had been discharged as a pro-
fessor and for which he rendered
no services. He followed up this
statement by adding that, to his
knowledge, about 20 other men,
bers of the faculty have been
similarly renumeratod after they
We're dismissed or resigned The
committee members, aroused by
these disclosures, forgot Mr.. La
gerstedt's resolution and moved
for an investigation

Farm Taxes Reduced.

The bill by Rep. ]. B. Hompe of
Deer Creek, reducing the tax on
farm machinery and gra n in the
farmers granaries from % per
cent to 10 per cent, which passed
the house early in the session,
was approved by the senate a
few days ago and sent to the gov
ernor. This is the only measure
of the kind that has been, or viii
be. passed at this session. There
is growing conviction among
so called tax experts that the tax
on personal property of all kinds
should be reduced or wholly re-
moved.

send forth good men and women
into the world, on fire with a will
to live Christian lives Such men
and women leave the House of
God with beliefs firm They
have not been RECALLED with pol
ties or economies, it is true, and
perhaps they have only the
vaguest idea Of what they are TO
do but they have at least this
one thing-a righteous soul TO
guide them. Upon that they can
depend in their search for the
politics and economics which are
to be their instruments They
do not, like these others, come
fran the church crammed with
pseudo-scientifc precepts, every
one of which are controversial
and subject to grave doubt.
They are not debating matters of
worldly knowledge in their minds,
coming from their .pastor-econ-
omist like students from the class
room, but they are contemplating
eternal beauties and verities. In
a word they are fit to pick and
choose between the dogmas of
the world because they are aglow
with the dcgmas of Heaven.
To say that churches in general
are reaching out for a new tenn
poral power, forgetting the i'll
service which temporalities have
done religion in the past, is an
exaggeration, but one which is
justified because it brings out |
clearly the real nature of what |
is yet only a vague tendency.
The churches are attempting to
dictate, however hesitantIy as
yet, what shall be the approved
political economy. East r, the
Day of the New Life, is a fitting
time for them to consider
whether they will remain church
es or become schools of social
science.

many representatives voted for

Appropriation Bill Passes.

The first of the big appropria-
ton bills passed the senate dur
ing the week and will be acted
upon by the house Thursday. 1t
appropriates $S.333,OOO for the
state institutions under the state
board of control, being about
$780, ZOO in excess of the same
appropriation two years ago.
But the need is greater now.
Room is needed for 1000 more
patients at the state hospitals for
the insane and at the school for
the feeble minded at Faribault
200 children are forced to sleep
in the attics.
The total appropriations by the
legislature of 1921 were S33, 70O,-
600. They will be from $3,OOO,-
900 to $7,OOO,OOO greater this
year.

Doings of the
Legislature
HOUSE TAKES MUCH
TINE ON LIQUOR BILL
Legislature in the Thick og Pro-
hibition Fight, Kills Sew
eraI Amendments.
BY Martin w. Odland.
Especial Correspondent


st. Paul, Minn.-The hottest
and longest bate of the SESSION
in either branch of the Minneso-
ia legislature, is now raging over
the Anti-Sa,oon Leagues new
prohibition enforcement bill
This measure came up in the
house as a special order at 2:30
Wednesday afternoon, and was
debated til $50, when the special
order was continued till the next
morning. Thursday morning and
afternoon four more hours were
devoted to the bill. but still a
heap of amendments are on the
speakers desk to be acted on, so
the special order was continued
till Tuesday afternoon. After
the amendments are finally dis
posed of will come the debate on
the bill itself, so it is possible
that final action cannot be had on
the measure till after the middle
Of the week.
The bill is very drastic, though
not strictly bone dry, as minis
tiers will still be able to buy wine
for sacramento purposes and doc
tors will still have the right to
prescribe stronger stuff. The
first of the amendments submit
ted-by Rep. Pattison of st.
Cloud to make the bill abso-
lutely bone dry" by depriving
ministers and doctors of the
rights just mentioned. but a large
majority of the members would
not listen to Mr.. Pattison's argu-
ments. Other amendments de-
bated at length and voted town
was one by Rep. t. H. Girling Of
Robbinsdale proposing that the
entire bill be submitted to the
people for their approval or re-
lection in 1924; another by Rep.
F. T. Starkey of st. Paul provid-
ing that Minnesota shall be gov
erned by acts of congress as to
the enforcement of the prohibi-
ton act and one by Rep. Guy Dill
ley of st. Paul permitting the
sale of beer and light wine, not
containing over a per ct, alcohol.
The only amendment of any I'M
portance so far adopted, exclus-
i've of those offered by the
authors of the bill, is one by Rep.
A. c. Welch of Glencoe providing
that no dry agent or other officer
of the law shall be permitted to
enter a house in quest of liquor
without a arch warrant.

The Christian word looks out
today upon a new Easter Sunday.
What it feels and thinks today
makes it, after a manner Of
speaking, truly akin with al
peoples and all history. All races
and creeds have celebrated in one
form or another the idea of Re-
surrection; indeed, in the English
language, the festival gets its
very name from the spring divin-
ity of the Ancient Norseman,
Ostara, who was believed to re-
store life each year To the word
after the long winter of death.
The Christian world. however,
finds emotions and truths in
Easter which are peculiarly its
own. II is not only the keyday
of the greater part of the eccle-
siastical year, but the keystone as
well Of the whole Christian the
ology. In a sense, the other cele-
brations, even Christmas, are
kept only in preparation for
Easter, the day on which the
meaning of Christianity is sum-
married. in one tremendous event,
the Resurrection.
Easter, like religion itself. is
primarily an emotional expert
ence, spiritual, imaginative, poet
ic. One enters the church, wor-
ships and energies spiritually ex-
allied and purified. That is the
ideal, and unfortunately. parti-
cularly. in these latter days, that
great poetic reaction To religion
is too often lacking. If we stop
to analyze the causes for this
failure, we must conclrde that
the blame rests upon a new CERT
ical school. which, perhaps earn
estly seeking to make religion n
more vital force in society, arc
by way of taking from religion
its very heart, We refer to such
