cows AND CONFINEMENT

1t was a pleasure to report in the
news columns of the American last
week that the farmers cooperative
creamery at Askov is now out Of
debt and that the happy event was
celebrated by a large attendance at
the annual meeting. And to further
show how good they felt about it the
farmers invited their fellow citizens
in the village-the local business
men-to attend the meeting and enjoy
refreshments with them. A couple
of years back the business men in
Vited the farmers to a dinner. and
such events aid in building better
community feelings and friendship.
We are all dependent on one another
and the more good fellowship and
better understanding of one another's
problems we have in the community
the better it is for all concerned.
This is true of any community in the
county or state.
In the news columns of this issue
is given a brief report of the annual
meeting of the farmers cooperative
creamery at Pine City. The cream
cry there is the largest one in the
county and has the biggest turnover,
paying out more than 81 900 each day
to it's patrons. Such institutions are
the backbone of the county, tinan-
cially speaking, and they deserve the
good support and boosting of every
oft Wit hin tho Of ~
county.
In communities where cooperative
creameries are enjoying good business
and diversified farming is practiced
There is a steady income of cash with
which to pay bills.
A close ally of the cooperative
creamery is the COW testing associa-
ton. To milk boarder cows is some
thing that does not pay and cow
testing is the method of wedding out
poor COWS. 1t puts farming on a more
business basis and it would seem
that that is another project which
fully merits support and boosting 1t
was also a pleasure to report in the
news columns of last week that the
Askov Cow Testing Association had
made an enviable record.
The foresight of the pioneers in
building cooperative creameries and
setting up COW testing associations
is to be appreciated. 1t is of benefit
to everyone living in Pine county
today.

GAS USE PER CAR
SHOWS AN INCREASE
Average Automobile Owner
Makes Greater Use Of High
ways. Figures of the Highway
Department Indicate.

Shipments of gasoline into Mime
sofa in 1927 were 2S9,6S6.41S gallons
according to reports made by the
state oil inspector. The gross gasO-
line tax was S5,510,257 and the re-
funds were S335,377. leaving a net
gas tax levy of $5,174.S79.
The gasoline shipments are eight
per cent higher than the shipments
into the state in 1926. Motor vehicle
registration for the year increased &c
per cent. These figures bear out the
contention of c. Nj. Babcock, state
highway commissioner, that traffic is
increasing more rapidly than motor
vehicle registration.
Comparison of automobile registra-
tion and gasoline receipts for a long
er period of years confirm this state
ment. In 1921 there were 332,652
cars registered and gasoline receipts
were 139,137,O0O gallons. In 1927
the registration was 652 1868 cars and
gasoline receipts were 2S9,6S6, AIS
gallons.
The number of gallons per car was
1874 in 1921 and 419 in 1927. deduction
being made for the amount certified
as used for industrial purposes in
1927 and proportionate amount in
1921. Car registration increased 964
per cent in the six year period and
gasoline consumption 1888 per cent
Manufacturers contend, and most
motorists agree, that nearly all cars
give more miles per gallon now than
in 1921. The only explanation is that
the average mOtOrist drives a good
many more miles now than in 1921
The average speed has increased and
the proportion of trucks is greater
On paved roads the heavier traffic
makes little difference, but it greatly
increases the cost of maintaining
gravel and dirt roads.

WHY NOT ABOLISH POVERTY?
(LabOr)

Secretary Hoover announces that
economists and business men to chart
. the economic currents" of the Unit
ed States. The cost is being raised
by private subscription, and the re-
port probably will be ready in the
spring of 1929.
If the right men go at this task
in the right spirit, they should be
able not only to chart the economic
currents, but to learn how to control
them.
For example, there is no reason
why the grim Specter of poverty,
which has haunted mankind from the
beginning should not be laid to a
final rest-at least so far as our coun-
try is concerned.
Poverty is a preventable social dis
ease. 1t is caused by insufficient pro-
ductiOn, or bad distribution, or both.
Today, in America, the first of
these causes, insufficient production,
is abolished. Our industrial plant,
using that term in its broadcast sense,
can produce enough to provide a full
life for everyone within our borders,
beginning with care and education
in youth and ending with care and
protection in old age. 1t can do this
and still have plenty left to give ex-
ceptional rewards for exceptional SER
vices.
Such poverty as still exists among
willing workers is due solely to bad
distribution. The goods which the
industrial plant produces must be
consumed, or the machines are clog
ged; and those goods cannot be con-
sumed unless the buying power of the
whole nation is raised.
Today thousands of men in the
building trades are idle, though at
least a quarter of the American peo-
pie are improperly housed. Millions
of farmers are on the edge of bank
ruptcy, while city workers cannot buy
the food they want. Men and women
and little children are without suf-
ficient clothing while our clothing
factories operate on part time. The

this was getting your moneys worth.

Chicago that it has great opportuni-
ties and is meeting them in kindly

Agriculture Along the Road.
From St. Louis to Hot Springs is
not a bright agricultural outlook.
Through Missouri there was scarcely
sign of live stock around the farm
homes. AS a matter of fact there
was little development about the farm
homes. The farmers within sight of
the railroad evidently do not live
we'll and only subsist on a little corn,
what they can get by an occasional

material cut off their home acres.
The Way To Go.
The Missouri Pacific is perhaps
the most direct route into Hot
Springs. Frequent trains leave ST.
Louis, some running direct to the
Springs while others leave you at the
unction-Benton- thirty miles away
From Benton, there are other trains
so that there is very little or nc
delay no matter which train you take
The run from ST.. Louis takes eleven

FARMER-LABORITES
TO HOLD CONVENTION
ON MARCH rs AND u
BY III. G. TEIGAN
Farmer-LabOr Press Service.

Politics i'm Minnesota is beginning
to take on tangible form. The state
committee of the Farmer-Labor Asso-
citation last week issued call for
the holding of state convention on
March 26 and 81 at the Labor Tenn
pie; ST. Paul. The Republicans will
hold a convention on March "a and
to make merry by holding at least
two state conventions.
The Fermentation convention will
endorse candidates for state and
congressional offices. This convention
marks the tenth anniversary. of the
holding of the first convention of the
Farmer-LabOr forces of Minnesota. 1t
was in March 1928 that the NOnpart-
isan League named Charles A. Lind
bergh, former congressman from the
sixth district, as it's standard bearer
at the Republican primary of that
year. A full ticket was named with
Mr.. Lindbergh.
1918 and 1923 i'm Marked Contrast
The campaign of 1918 was bit
:er one. Mr.. Lindbergh was attacked
as no candidate in this state has
ever been attacked in Minnesota. The
honors heaped upon "Lindy" these
days, stand in marked contrast to the
methods of violence that were resort
ed to by the Republicans of Minnesota
against the father, ten years ago
Congressman Kvale on January II,
last, related on the floor of the House
at Washington, how many of the peO-
pie who are singing young Lindys
praises today were those that advO-
Gated tarring and feathering G. A.
Lindbergh, Sr., in 1918.
Many of the delegates that will
attend this years Farmer-Labor con-
vention were among those who at
tended the first convention in 1918
1t is worth recalling here that Mr.
A. C. Townley, president and founder
of the National NOnDartisan League
originated the idea of holding pre-
primary conventions. Mr.. Townley
contended that to secure the best ma.

done by first going into an open pri
mary. Lynn J. Frazier, senior sen
atOr from North Dakota and the first
Nonpartisan League governor of thai
state, was picked to make the run
for Governor by a convention of Non
partisan Leaguers at Fargo before he
was even known outside of the bound
aries of his own county. No one &C
quainted with that situation would
contend for a minute that Frazier
would have had any chance whatever
in the primary had he entered it that
year before being drafted by con
vention.
Republicans May Endorse.
1t seems that the Republicans are
also planning to take some action
| in regard to candidates at their con-
vention to be held on March "a. OF
course this has not been definitely
decided upon but it is known that
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-02-16

fact" for these corporations. 1t seems
beyond belief that body of thinking
men could be persuaded to deprive
a duly elected member of legislative
body of membership on such a flimsy
argument as this, but so reads the
record of the Minnesota State Senate
for the season of 1919. And Mr..
Rockne more than any other state
senator can claim credit for ousting
Mr.. Wilcox and in ultimately seating
Mr.. Sullivan.
ROckDe Against Governor
ChristiansOn.
At the 1925 and 1927 sessions of
the legislature, Senator Rockne made
record somewhat out of harmony
with that at previous sessions. Rockne
fought the Christianson re-organiza-
ton scheme vigorously at the 1925
session, though not altogether con-
sistently. If Rockne had stuck with
Senator Devoid and other Farmer
Laborites in opposition to the sense
less scheme of the Governor, the
measure would probably have been
defeated, or at any rate would have
been so modified as to leave elected
state officials with some of their
constitutionally created powers. 1t
must be said too for Mr.. Rockne that
he fought Governor ChristiansOn's
economy schemes at both the 1925
and 1927 sessions. This fact makes
it quite obvious that the Governors
friends are not at all keen about the
ROckne candidacy. Rumor has it
that the Christensen support will be
thrown to Mr.. Nelson.
Senator Shipstead will find little
difficulty in disposing of either Burn
quist, Nelson or Rockne at the gen.
eral election.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-02-16

such a move is on foot. If such &C.
tion is taken it seems probable that
endorsements for United States SEN
ator and Governor will go to State
Senator A. j. Rockne and Governor
Theodore Christianson, respectively.
Mr.. Rockne filed for the Republican
nomination for United States Senator
last week. In doing so he announced
that his filing came as the result
of demand on the part of the Re-
publicans of the state.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Rockne announces
that he expects to make the run on
his record it is only proper that the
people of Minnesota should know
something of that record before they
have an opportunity to vote for him
at the primary.
ROckne's Record ReactiOnary.
Mr.. ROckne has been a member of
the Minnesota state Legislature for
twenty-five years. He served his first
term in the House in 1903 and fin
ished up in the House in 1909 by
serving as Speaker Since 1911 he
has been a member of the senate.
In 1909 while Speaker of the House,
Mr.. ROckne opposed the tonnage tax
bill which as it will be recalled pass
ed both House and Senate and was
vetoed by Governor John A. Johnson.
At almost every session Rockne con-
siStently opposed Woman's Suffrage
and was usually an opponent of the
state wide primary. In 1919 it will
be remembered that he led the fight
to unseat the Farmer-Labor Senator
w. w. Wilcox, who had defeated the
steel trusts handyman in the senate,
Mr.. George H. Sullivan of Saltwater.
Rockne fought vigorously and effec-
lively for Sullivan. AS a result of
Rockne's efforts Wilcox was ousted
from the senate on the ground that
he had violated the corrupt prac-
tees act by referring in his campaign
literature, to Sullivan as attorney
for more than sixty foreign corpora
tions,' while the records in the Sec
rotary of States office showed that
Sullivan was merely "attorney-in-
