A COMMISSIONERS VIEW ON
THE FARM BUREAU

| wish to make clear to Mr.. L. c..
Petersen the reason did not support
the appropriation of $4,000 for the
Farm Bureau.
First-knowing the financial condi-
tion of our county. Nearly every fund
is being overdrawn, the taxes are
higher than the taxpayers can stand.
Evidence of that is the delinquent
tax list just recently published, so
always felt that the county is going
too fast and a halt must be called
sooner or later.
The general business of the county
must be carried on. We must have
roads, schools, and maintain our
county and state governments and
same must be cared for financially.
And that is about all the county can
take care of and stay within it's
means at che present rate of revenue
coming in to the county. So instead
of adding more obligations l feel we
tions. 1t has too frequently happened
that town, school, county, and state
executive boards have voted yea when
they should have voted nay. That's
why our taxes have climbed so high,
and unless we try and get along with
out some of the things that are not
so essential, our taxes will not stop
climbing This idea of delegations
and petitions coming up before these
boards is what raises your taxes,
every time same is granted, even
though same is for good cause.
We have too many appointive
boards telling the people what to do
and how to do it, and l believe many
of those could~be cut out and the
farmer could get along nicely if he
was left alone to solve his own prob
lens to fit his own conditions. Con-
ditions are not the same on every
farm.

"SMALL TOWN STUFF

There is no particular reason for
this editorial, except that the writer
believes that at last the 'curse" Gf
there ever was any has been taken
from the so-called small town stuff"
In a discussion few days ago with
one of AskOv's businessmen, the sub
ject: 1.-The City versus The Country"
was being debated, when this business
man remarked: "In the final analysis,
there really isn't any appreciable diff
ference, only that the city has a
greater population, of course. than
the small town." "In reality" this
man continued, "the city, after ALL
simply is a lot of small towns gath
cred together under one general
name"
There never was anything more
true. Each city of any size, has
literally dozens of commercial clubs,
or community clubs, or whatever they
may be called, each working for the
particular interests of the community
or small town" in which they are
located. And, the "West Side" doesn't
care much what the East Side" does:
the West Side" looks out for its in
terests, the East Side" for its, and
so on down the line-nOrth, south,
east and west. There probably, and
undoubtedly is. a common interest"
but it is not uppermost in the minds
of the various district leaders. In
great many instances it is PROPOSE
ton of "robbing Peter to pay Paul."
and oftentimes, Paul" gets robbed in
the long run, too.
So, there is, in truth, no such thing
as big city stuff" for the commun-
tiles in each city are doing only those
things that are done in the small
town. Put together, it is called big
town stuff" where in reality it is
Just lot of small town stuff"
Incidentally. we believe there is a
moral in the foregoing and that is,
that it behooves the young man and
the young lady from the small town,
to stay right where he or she is and
big town stuff" The boys and girls
on the farm, or working in the small
towns, don't know when they are we'll
off. They might better stay at home;
have their own small town stuff"
among friends, than go to the city
and have it among strangers.
Build up the small town by re-
naming at home" ought to be the
slogan. =

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE!

Is George Remus, wealthy Cincin-
natl bootleger who murdered his wife,
crazy, or is he sane?
In the opinion of this newspaper,
it shouldn't make any difference
should be placed where the dogs
won't bite him" and be kept there,
for he committed a crime prohibited
by both man and God.
However, this is not to be his fate
1t will be remembered, that on his
plea of insanity, a jury of IL men
whether tried and true" is question
able) found him not guilty of the
crime of killing his wife, because, the
jury concluded, she's crazy" He was
placed in an asylum. Now, how
ever, the court to which Remus ap-
pealed his case, after being placed
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-04-05

is sane, consequently, cannot be held
in an asylum.
And so it goes.
In the first instance, on Remus'
own plea, a jury found him insane.
Now, on his own plea, a judge says
he isn't insane.
Certainly he isn't crazy, but what
is the difference? He has proved
that he is a menace to society and
therefore should be locked up.
Just another miscarriage of justice;
another instance where jury, sworn
to do its duty, went off "half-cOcked."

HARBINGER OF WAR

The United States is now the money
lender of the world; nearly every ma
ton has been laid under tribute and
this nation is now playing the un-
popular role of "Shylock." On the
principle that every debtor hates his
creditor, we are far from popular.
The riches of the United States and
the money lending position it occupies
makes it a target of envy and criti-
cism, not always just. This position
more than anything else is back of
the movement to build up great
navy. Our financiers do not feel safe
to trust their investment to the volun-
tary action of debtor nations; they feel
that the strong arm of military power
must admonish debtor nations that
duty is akin to safety.
The position of the United States is
a difficult one; it has entered the
realm of imperialism and is forced
to travel along traditional lines and is
playing the game in the regular form.
The dollar is trouble hunter; he goes
out and in his effort to help he Of
tends and then it takes an army to
avenge the wrong done the meddle-
some visitor.
1t seems that the United States has
emerged from a position of isolation
to one of international domination
and has, since the World War devel-
oped many thousands of points Of dan
gerous contact Our troubles in
Nicaragua are only a small edition
of what is waiting for us if we con-
tinue to travel along our present
