ting eating all the taxes. Now
why are we always growing
about taxesf Is il not because
in most cases when we pay
money out for taxes we only look
at the slip Of paper we get. called
a receipt, While when VIC pay
for merchandise and other goods
we see that we are getting some
thing.
don't think il is the direct
taxes that has chased very many
families off their farms. but
more on account Of the farmers
dollar not being able 10 compete
with the other fellows dollar.
And that is why we are trying TO
better our conditions by cooper
ating.
The other day I read an ar
ticle in the Northwest Farm
stead that set me to thinking. 1t
was about a farmer digging mari
out Of his own land and somebody
came and told him TO stop. as it
read in the land deed that min
eral rights were reserved. Now
! have some land with the same
reservations and l expect there

so would you. What are we
going to do about il,
Well here is something for 90
operation to work toward. OF
maybe Taxpayers unions. to have
the legislature either pass a Law
that when a farmer buys a piecs
of land it is his. not only a few
inches or a foot of the top sol
but as far down as he wishes Il
60; or else pass a law where any
one holding those mineral right
be taxed so as to help the up

I hope Mr.. Mosbek will agar

MINERAL RIGHTS AND
OTHER MATTERS

Editor Askoy American:
! too, like Mr.. Mosbak. hesi-
tate to step out but his last
article was a little too strong to
suit me.
Now in the first place / have
no axe to grind either with you
Moshek or anyone else and don't
care to get into a pen contro-
versy as ! know | will lose out.
But, Mr.. Mosbak. how in the
name of common sense can you
say you are for cooperation and
at the same time be knocking it
all you are good for,
As far as | understand it. the
potato marketing plan is built on
the Danish system. If not. why
don't you tell us the difference!
All the difference | can see is
that il was not you. Mosbek that
drew the plan. but Sapiro. And
let Sapiro be a Jew, TO me he is
a white man-a man that has
done more good for his fellow
men and especially the farmers
than any Dane that ] know Of.
And we should not be selfish and
wish il all the bad luck just be-
cause il did not start in Askov
or at home, as you say.
In regard TO you knocking the
county commissioners for appro-
priating money for the Farm
Bureau or County Agent. ! say
they did night. If you and ! are
entitled TO a living on this earth
so is our County Agent. as his
service is worth TO the county
several times what II costs. and
| don't know of any better in
vestment a farmer can make
than 10 put his $500 in the Farm
Bureau. unless il should be at the
present time, the Potato Ex-
change.
In regard to your Taxpayers
Union starting at home. I think
II is alright. and il should always
stay at home Is that is where |
most Of the taxes go. and not as

men are on bail and an early date for
the trial has been requested, but has
not been scheduled.
