Justesen and Hurley
Address Finlayson Meet

Editors Note-Report came in too
late for last week and therefore was
only briefly touched upon in that
issue. Here is the full account.)
Finlayson, Minn.-The local Smith
Robinson club held its first meeting
in the town hall Monday evening,
October Sth, with a large and en-
thusiastic attendance. The speakers
were County Attorney Michael B. Hur-
ley of Pine City, and V. Justesen,
the superintendent of the school at
Askov, and Democratic candidate for
State Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioner.
County Attorney M. B. Hurley
brought out clearly the difference be-
tween the attitudes of the two parties
on the agricultural situation, which
he stated was the main issue OF the
present presidential campaign. Quot
ing from the statements of the two
candidates, Hurley showed that the
Republican party had promised no
definite relief to the farmer, their
only pledge being an increase in the
tariff, which, he pointed out, was in
effective on crops where surplus
was produced. He also pointed out
that Hoover's attitude was the same
as that of Coolidge that, 1.-The only
way to aid the farmer was to decrease
production" in other words, to drive
enough farmers off the farms to bring
down the production to home demands.
In opposition to this the Democratic
platform as approved by Governor
Smith, declares for the principles of
the McNary-Haugen bill which aims
to market the surplus by charging
the cost of marketing to the COM
modify benefited.
Hurley also quoted briefly from
speeches of Senator Borah that had
been made before the United States
senate, in which Borah declared that
Hoover could not be trusted with
S1OO, 900, 900 and that the large corpo-
rations had dictated to Hoover while
he was commissioner. Borah
proved in his speech that packers and
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-10-18

millers had made as much as forty
per cent profit on the farmers pro-
ducts. 81 shall say nothing against
the Republican candidate" Mr.. Hur-
ley said, "for Borah has said more
mean things about him than any
Democrat could ever think Of" 1T
is we'll known" he continued, that
Borah has been one of the most ar
dent opponents of Secretary Hoover,
and no sane man, least of all Borah
himself, has been able to explain his
sudden change of attitude"
v. Justesen, Democratic candidate
for Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioner, spoke briefly on the funda-
mental principles of the two parties,
going into the history of the parties
and showing that the Republican par
ty is the conservative party with
leaning toward the old-world idea of
GENERALIZATION and the power in the
hands of the few rich, while the DEM
ocratic party, as founded by Jefferson,
is the liberal party with progressive
ideals, leaning toward more govern
ment by the people themselves, for
the benefit of all, rather than the few.
In this connection he reviewed the
old scandals of the last seven and
one-half years and brought out the
fact that Senator Curtis, the Repub-
lican candidate for vice-president,
had not only been silent approver
as Hoover and Coolidge, but part
of the deal in so far as he was a
stakeholder in the Sinclair oil COM
pany and did all he could to block
the Investigations in the senate. For
his excellent work." Justesen stated,
Senator Curtis, the man who turned
traitor to the farm cause, was re-
warded, by his masters with the vice
presidency, thus showing that the
Republican masters, Mellon and Ware,
understand how to reward those who
have been faithful to the ideals of the
party" The fact that Senator Curtis
was directly connected with the bas-
est scandal in history, "since the time
of Walpole, according to Senator
Borah," should be enough to make
every honest man and woman in
America want to retire him to pri-
vate life for all time to come, he
stated.
On the request of member Of the
audience, Justesen explained briefly
the history of Tammany hall, and
stated frankly that there had been
corruption in Tammany under Tweed
and Croker, both of whom had been
dead for many years. ANY strong
city government that remains in pow
er for a long time is liable to become
corrupt in spots, and we do not hold
it up as an example. However, Tam
many today, under the leadership of
able, honest men is giving New York
the best big-city government in the
United States" He then compared
New York government today with the
government that it had under the late
arch-scoundrel Hylan, who was not a
Tammany man but a Republican, and

investigations, thirty per cent Of the

THE FUTURE OF THE SMALL
TOWN.

There is much being written as to
what the future holds for the small
town-that of two thousand or less
people.
A number appear to be of the opin-
ion that because of the automobile
and the good roads the business will
mostly be attracted to the larger cities
and the small towns will have to be
satisfied with what is left.
This may be true in measure, but
it would appear to The Tribune that
the destiny of the small town lies with
the town itself and that good roads
and automobiles can be made to mean
ten times as much to it as they can

Three things should determine the
small towns future; A good market
for the products of the farm, a good
market in which to buy, and adver-
Using.
With these three essentials it would
seem that the small city merchant has
every advantage. He knows his trade,
his patron can trade with him with

attracted there by the advertising OF
the merchants of that town, but If it
is twenty-five or thirty miles the dis
lance is too great to expect the pat
rcnage of that purchaser more than
occasionally.
But this occasional loss of business
is more than made up to the live town
by increased buying of this age and
the same tactics that were employed
to bring business twenty-five miles
should be doubly effective, for in an
area of up to fifteen miles.

community has bright future before

fires start easily and are hard to con-
troll. Logging in the Lake States. ac-
cording to foresters, has usually been
accompanied or followed by repeated
forest fires, with the result that second
growth is poor in quality and sparse
in amount in many sections.
The soils of the Lake States region
have demonstrated their ability to
grow trees. Several million acres OF
cut-over and burned-over land which
is not suited to agricultural use, can,
in the opinion of the Forest Service,
be restored to tree growing on per-
manent basis. The principal measures
necessary include protection from fire,
planting of barren lands, and proper
forest management to encourage the
establishment of young growth of the
best kinds of trees.
In the past few years the Lake
States have made notable strides In
this direction. "Selective logging" has
been put into practice by a number
of timberland owners, and organized
fire protection has been developed in a
number of localities. The Federal
Government has acquired lands in
Minnesota and Michigan which are
gradually being restored to producti-
witty under National Forest admin
istration, and all three States are de-
veloping State forest lands along SINH
lar lines.

NEW U. S. FORESTER STUART
ASSUMED DUTIES TUESDAY.

Major R. Y. Stuart, who will become
the new chief of the United States
Forest Service May l, has had wide
range of forestry experience and edu-
cation. He first came to the depart
ment in 1906 from the Yale Forestry
School where he had received an M. F.
degree, entering the Forest Service as
assistant in timber sale work. After
several years in the Western National
Forests, especially in the Northern
Rocky Mountain Region where he was
forest inspector and chief of opera
ton, he came to the headquarters of
the Forest Service in Washington, D.
c. In 1917 he was furloughed for
military service in France with the
10th Engineers. After the war he re-
turned to the Forest Service but re-
signed IN 1920 to become deputy COM
missioner of forestry in Pennsylvania.
He later served years as secretary of
the Pennsylvania Department of
Waters and Forests. On February 16,
1927, he was again called to the United
States Forest Service to assume the
position of Assistant Forester.
Colonel Greeley, the retiring For
ester, has accepted position with the
West Coast Lumber Manufacturers
Association, where he will be con-
cerned with working out some of the
problems of industrial forestry on the
Pacific Coast.

two other states, Wisconsin and South
Dakota showed gains during the same
period and it must be remembered
that both of these states, like Mime
sofa, are tourist states receiving the
benefit of the good words which sum-
mer visitors have to say about them"
Mr.. Hotaling also said that the census
carries the information that of the
$4,000 farms in Minnesota 136,382
are operated by the owners, and farm
property in Minnesota is worth 81, 761,
684,227. In calling attention to Min
nesota'S greatness as an agricultural
state he said that all the field and
and fruit crops off Florida, valued at
$7O,961 900 or 100000 less than what
Minnesota farmers received from their
oats and barley alone. Making COM
parison against California he said that
the entire production of oranges,
strawberries, asparagus, cantaloupeS,
is about ST., 100000 or ten million dol
lars less than what was received for
the Minnesota Corn Crop alone.

GRAIN CROP
RUNS INTO MONEY.
H. C. HOTALING, SECRETARY OF
TEN THOUSAND LAKES OUT
LINES ADVANCEMENT MADE BY
STATE-GRAIN CROP IN EXCESS
OF CAL. AND FLA. FRUIT CROP.

While most of the northwest was
losing farm population in recent years,
Minnesota was gaining, and out of the
entire nation, only two states, Cali
fornia and Texas showed gain of
more new farmers than Minnesota
during the last Is years, H. c. Hotal-
ing, state tourist commissioner, and
secretary of the Ten Thousand Lakes
association, told radio listeners over
Station WCCO, Minneapolis-St. Paul,
Thursday evening, April 10.
Mr.. Hotaling, gave as authority for
his remarks, government figures of the
last agricultural census, made public
recently. The figures showed that
during the period between 1910 and
1920, Minnesota gained 22,341 new
farmers. In the following five years
between 1920 and 1925, she gained an
other 9,753. Speaking of the gain be-
tween 1920 and 1925, Mr.. Hotaling
said: ct must be remembered that
Minnesota made this latter gain when
other states throughout the northwest
were losing farm population. Only

of value, while city property is asses
sed at 40 per cent of value. In the
cities there are large properties such
as the Railroad Building in ST. Paul
and railroad shops on which taxes are
paid on a gross earnings basis to the
state and not to the city. The hold
ings of tax-exempt church property
in the cities, including school and uni
versity properties as well as churches,
are relatively larger in the cities than
in the rural districts.
Ore Valuation Higher.
Iron ore is taxed on basis of SO
per cent of value, which causes the
st. Louis county property holdings to
nav higher taxes than those of any
other county.
Taxes on money and credits under
the 1911 law also are paid largely in
the cities. With less than a third OF
the total population of Minnesota, the
counties in which the three large
cities, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Du-
luth, are located pay more taxes on

"a counties of the state combined.
Money and Credits Drop.
The valuation on money and credits
in Minnesota decreased from $420, 1885,
447 in 1926 to $414, 631 $40 in 1927. The
valuation for the three big counties
however, increased.
One-third of the money and cred
it" tax collections are paid to school
districts, another third is allotted for
township, city and village funds, a
sixth for state funds and another sixth
for county funds. Thus the money
and credit tax for 1927 provides the
following funds for these purposes
school districts, $414,826.55; townships
cities and villages, $414,799.13; county
purposes. $207, 456.04; and state taxes
$207, 437.51.

LAKE STATES HAVE
BIG FOREST LAND PROBLEM.

Days when Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Minnesota stood foremost in the
national lumber industry have changed,
and now these three Lake States are
probably confronted with as acute a
problem of forest restoration as any
section of the country, says the Forest
Service, United States Department Of
Agriculture.
This problem, involving the reforest-
alton of idle and waste lands, the re-
Mobilization of depleted woodlands,
and the protection from fire of re-
manning and growing timber stands, is
being brought to the front in the Lake
States this week in connection with
the nationwide observance of Ameris
can Forest Week.
The enormous quantities of lumber
provided by the Lake States from 1870
until after the dawn of the twentieth
century speeded up the development
of the whole midwest. To-day these
three States are dependent upon out
side sources for approximately half
their own lumber needs. Minneapolis,
which thirty years ago was the great
est lumber manufacturing city of the
world, now has become a great inland
distributing center for Pacific Coast
lumber. OF the $50 billion board feet
of white pine, which it is estimated
the original Lake States forests con-
tanned, only about eight billion remain.
These three States now pay approx
mately $30,000,000 in freight bills an
nually for lumber imported for home
use from other States.
With the decline of the lumber in
dustry, the paper industry, for which
spruce, hemlock, poplar and jack pine
are utilized, has grown until the Lake
States district now ranks second in
production of paper, following the
northeastern States. An important
forest problem of the region is the
furnishing of more than a million
cords of pulp wood annually to MAIN
tain the paper mills.
Forest fires in the Lake States have
destroyed millions of dollars worth OF
timber and reproduction and have de-
stroyed a heavy toll of human life
In the famous Hinckley and Cloquet
fires alone, 822 lives were lost. The
softwood forest of the district are
highly inf1amable and the climatic
conditions of the spring and fall
months usually bring periods when
