A PROSPEROUS FARMER

Following is a letter which
appeared recently in the
Daily Star at Minneapolis:
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1923-03-15

We are wondering how much
of a clamor there was before the
legislature for repeal Of the wide
sleigh law. This undoing by one
legislature what was done by n
previous oneplaying off again,
ON again, off again-is not al
ways appreciated by the public.
There was a considerable kick
registered on the wide sleigh law
when it came out but this was
to be expected. A change is not
always welcome even though it
may be fer the best later on, but
the repeating of the law so soort
before it has had a good chance
TO be tried out, only makes mat
tiers worse. II would seem that
a little deeper thought and study
of proposed laws would make
less cause for repeals and conse.
quent commotion.

MRS. KEMPFER HELPS
TO KILL WOMEN'S BILL
WOman's Rights, Bank Guarantee
Bills KilIed.-NO Sunday
Dances In Town.
BY Martin ". Odland.
Especial Correspondent

NDFNNiei SoAiNopVlitNhS'I
st. Paul, Minn-No bank guar
antee bill will be passed at this
session Of the Minnesota legis a
ture. for on Wednesday after
noon the house killed the Wilkin-
son bill, which had the support of
all believers in the bank guaran-
tee principle, and the question
can not be taken up again at this
session. The vote for the bill
was 55, which shows a large fall
ing off from two years ago, when
the WEIGH bill of like import
passed the house with some votes
to spare.
The house banking committee
voted to kill all bank guarantee
bills earlier in the week but Co
r. A. Wilkinson of Lake Elmo
and A. c. WEIGH of Glencoe,
authors of two of the bills, who
are both good fighters, decided to
overturn the committees report,
if possible, thereby starting a
debate which lasted over four
hours. Most of the votes for the
bank guarantee bill were cast by
the Farmer-Labor members, and
Representatives WEIGH, Carl M.
Iverson of Ashby, Erling Swenson
of Minneapolis, and Louis
Enstrom of Roseau county, lead
ers of the Farmer-Labor faction.
were the only speakers for the
bill, besides Col. Wilkinson.
The state bankers association
of Minnesota voted at its recent
annual convention to oppose al
bank guarantee bills and many of
the bankers were very active in
bringing pressure to bear upon
the legislature, writing letters
and delivering arguments at the
hearings.

WOman's Rights Killed.

The women's bill of Rights
introduced by Miss Myrtle Cain,
the radical woman member from
Minneapolis, was killed rather un-
expectedly Thursday afternoon
after it had been reported to the
house without recommendation
by the committee on general
legislation.
Mrs. Hannah j: Kempfer. the
courageous fighting woman MEM
Der from Otter Tail county who
feels strongly against such lepis-
lation, felt that there was no
need of postponing action on this
bill. so when the committee re,
port was presented to the house
later in the day, she moved that
instead of being placed on gener-
al orders for future consideration,
the report of the committee be
rejected and the bin indefinitely
postponed that is, killed. 1t
was expected that a lengthy de-
bate would follow, but some
member moved the previous
question. which carried, thus
bringing an immediate vote,
which resulted in the overwhelm-
ing defeat Of the bill, IS votes
being recorded against it; only 50
in it's favor.
The only woman member of
the house that favored the bill
was Miss Myrtle Cain, the other
three being strongly opposed to
it. feeling that the women of the
state would gain nothing, but
might lose great deal by the en-
actment of such law. The
measure gives to women the same
legal rights as those enjoyed by
the men. which was well and
good, said the opponents of the
bill. but they held that at the
same time the bill would deprive
the women Of the special rights
and privileges they now enjoy
rights which have been dearly
won during the past twenty years
rights which they could ii
afford to lose.

BRUSH ALONG ROADS
Editor Askov American:

TNuitOi fNShON hiiltl ltdil.
Askov community is supposed
to be progressive, anyway that is
what one hears sometimes. And
still we are not progressive
enough after we have made fairly
good roads, to keep down the
weeds and brush on both sides of
same and make it possible to use
them also in the winter time.
At present we would like to
haul potatoes, but nothing doing
where there is brush along the
road. There is in some places
two feet of snow: other places
where both sides are cleaned up,
there is no snow whatever. The
labor wasted a year ago in show
cling snow would have cleaned
up everything and kept it so. for
the next ten years. The children
have in the last days been hauled
to school in an open sled because
it is too dangerous to use the
school van and today our girl is
sick because it was too cold to
ride FIVE miles that way.
Last summer when the writer
and family turned the corner one
mile north Of town, theY was a
car at the same time going the
other way. The driver of the car
was on the wrong side of the road
and nothing but pure luck saved
US from being run down. Sup
pose some day a ear going ful'
speed on the state road hits the
school van? When the leaves are
on the brush there is no way to
know what is around the corner
before it is too late, There are
other places just as bad further
out.
Ii everything along the road,
was cleaned up once, a couple
hours work with a team anC

down the weeds along eighty
acres II seems to me it would

There is a growing suspicion
among some people that the al
legged tomb of King Tut Ankh
Amen recently unearthed in
Egypt is a good deal of a hoax.
The stories concerning the find
and the sealing up Of the tomb
without opening the casket
which is supposed to contain che
mummy of the king appears
decidedly suspicious. 1t is hardly
natural for the explorer of the
tomb to decide TO withhold in
spection of the mummy for a
year or two. Is it a case of
planting antiquities for the pur-
pose of finding them and hoax
ing the public? Stranger things

st. Paul, Minn.-At last! The
authors of the rural credits bill
finally submitted it to the consid-
GRAFTON of the house Tuesday
afternoon, and after four hours
of debating and haggling over
almost innumerable amendments,
the bill was passed by vote of
1T to 0.
The only important amendment
adopted is one limiting the
amount of loans outstanding to
$40,0OO,000, there being no limit
in the bill as drawn. If it is
deemed advisable to remove or
extend this limitation, it can be
done by the legislature of 1925,
1t would be almost physically i'm
possible to loan more than $40,-
100000 during the next two
years.
The bill as finally passed by the
house limits loans to 60 per cent
of the appraised value of farm,
but no single loan can exceed
$4,000.
How soon the senate will pass
the bill is hard to predict, but
that the senate will pass it,
amended or unchanged, is certain.
