AUTO PURCHASES
BAROMETER FOR
CONDITIONS HERE

Following a summer Of unpre-
eedented buying, the fall season is
beginning with every promise of Il
winter Of unusual prosperity in I'm
perial Valley, in the opinion of W.
o. Hinderks, secretary and assistant
manager of Edgar Brothers Com
pany, who based his assertion upon
the sales in Ford pleasure cars and
trucks.
Sales in pleasure cars, he said, in
dicate that there is sufficient money
in the valley for the purchase OF
luxuries. When automobiles are
used in business, that shows that the
volume of business warrants the pur
chase Of new equipment.
Trucks sales afford still a diff.
ferent insight into business condi-
tions, he explained, and give every
assurance that the purchasers feel
confident of increased sales and
shipments.

FIRM AND FEARLESS

In launching his campaign Floyd b.
Olson stated that if elected governor
he will shake up the State Securities
Commission and appoint men qualified
to judge stock proposals. He promises
to drive out every promoter of wild
cat securities from the state. The
many citizens who have been nipped
on worthless stocks will welcome this
shakeup and knowing what Mr.. Olson
did as county attorney of Hennepin
county they know he means business
i'm this promise also and that he will
see it through as he saw the council
members of Minneapolis through. A
man whose own record is not good
cannot do such cleaning up as Mr..
Olson did in the county attorneys Of
flee. The council members who felt
his lash would get him if they could.
Fearless men with ability are the kind
to have in office. In launching his
campaign for governor Mr.. Olson also
said: Il shall assume complete per-
sonal responsibility for the official
acts of all GepartmG mt heads appointed
by me-" There is no pussyfooting or
passing the buck in that as is done
by so many politicians.

A WORTHY EFFORT

Upon being requested by Ray Lyman

chairman of the national advisory
committee on illiteracy, to tell him
what is being done to overcome Hit
eracy in his prison. Warden J. ]. Sui
livan of the Minnesota State Prison
at saltwater answered. "Our practice
of requiring illiterates to attend class
es at the prison school while estab-
fishing a system by no means perfect
| consider it successful and worth
while. 1t is means of getting the
illiterates interested in obtaining an
education"
This is a phase of work which the
state prison is accomplishing for its
inmates which is highly cOmmendable
and is attempted in conjunction with
the National Advisory committee
which was organized last fall with
the approval of President Hoover in
an effort to raise the nations Hitter,
acy percentage. 1t would seem thai
if this can be accomplished, then the
crime wave will also be decreased
since much of crime is being com
mitted by illiterates.

surplus that they might accumulate.
On January 9th the resolution of the
Advisory committee was presented to
the farm board. On that day New
York Extras had reached the low
point of "a and one-half cents and Chi
cago 80 cents with the Bears in control
of the market. After considering the
resolution presented by the Advisory
committee, the farm board consented
to loan to the Land OLakes Creamer-
les 100000 secured by warehouse
receipts, Oh butter to be placed in stor-
age to be called for only as the ware

ed to their treasury department. On
Land OLakes Creameries in Chicago,
New York, and Philadelphia made it
known that they would purchase92 and
SO scoring butter at the quotation but
to our surpi Use we found that the short
sellers were only bluffing and could
not produce the goods. and without
buying a single car of butter, the
market took a turn for the better.
While it declined again later ON, it
never got below point of "a cents at
which we were willing to accept SO
score butter offered and were willing
at any time to buy butter at that
price.
After January 10th without having
to buy single car of butter on the
open market and being willing to take
butter whenever it reached the point
of 35 cents or lower and only with
holding our own surplusses and buy
ing from strictly cooperative assOcia-
tons, we accumulated by March 18th
6,S60,00O, pounds of SO score butter
which was possibly 500 or 900 of
the 80 and SO score butter in storage.
The market had very rapid rise
from January 10th to January %
when it reached thte high point of
80 cents per pound. During the per-
iod of about 10 days we merchandised
rather freely and the market took a
slight decline and again reached the
point of "a cents on February 25th
AT this point we refused to make any
further sales except to our regular
weekly customers and the shOrt-sell-
ers could not crowd the market low

price and they could not furnish high
scoring butter to fill an order. The
market rem a i NJ ed rather steady
around "a cents and 35 cents until
March 9th. Production was some

were still rather heavy. By March

STATE INCOME TAX

Some weeks ago the ASkov Ameri-
can published an article regarding the
Minnesota Farm Bureau endorsing
the state income tax proposal. Today
we are pleased to note that the Pine
County Tax League and Development
Association, organized in the eastern
part of the county, has also endorsed
this same proposition, as was pub
lished in last weeks issue of the
Markyille Messenger The American
cOngratulates the members of the
league for their progressive stand on
this most important tax reform.
We have for many years admired

field of endeavor, both for federal ard
state income taxes, the outstanding
ones being the late Senator Robert
M. La Toilette of Wisconsin, and Sen
ator George w. Norris of Nebraska.
who is still fighting valiantly for the
best interests of the average man on
the floor of the U. S. Senate. We have
advocated this tax reform in cur own
editorial columns and will use our
best efforts to get public sentiment
aroused i'm Pine county and Mime
sofa for this much needed tax reform.
A state income tax and the iron
ore tax, which should by all means
be continued as long as ore is mined.
should be sufficient to relieve the
personal property and real estate
owners of paying any state tax levy,
and will make for an increased
amount of state funds to go toward
supplemental school aid and rural
road development.
The history of income tax proves
that by far the larger portion of it
is paid in the centers of population
the big cities by the large industrial
and commercial groups. These forces.
always well organized, will, no doubt,
fight the levying of a state income
tax as they always have in other
states and the federal income tax.
A good example in this respect is our
neighboring state of Wisconsin which
has an income tax that is functioning
in good shape to the benefit of the
state as whole.

There have been many wild ru-
mors as to extreme losses taken by,
the Land O'Lakes Creameries on this
transaction. We have given you the
figures and dates as to when we were
active in withholding and selling OF
butter. Our readers can be their
own judge as to what the results are
There is one certainty and that is that
there was enough butter in storage
and on hand at all times if it had
been in weak hands to supply the mar
ket and without doubt, it would have
continually ranged below "a cents per
pound, but with large percentage
of storage butter in strong hands,
there was no more butter in storage
and being produced than enough to
supply the market on a basis from
81 cents to 40 cents per pound, and
at this time there is no one denies,
not even the enemies of Land O'Lakes,
but what it was Land O'Lakes Gre am
cries that turned the trick. Every
man that milkS a COW, every cream
cry whether member or nOn-member,
in fact any legitimate butter holder,
was benefited by the fact that there
was a group of farmers in the United
States who through their own cooper
ative organization had sufficient
strength and credit standing that they
could step into situation of this
kind and stabilize the market The
surplus butter that was in our hands
was sold through such channels as
would take it direct to the retail
trade and went out into all parts of
sold through our cooperative friends
in California and Washington as they
were short of butter for short per-
iOd and needed Eastern butter to take
care of their requirements. Other
butter dealers who would not supply

called on Land O'Lakes to supply
them and we were glad to help them
out. AS a whole, the entire butter
deal worked out very satisfactorily
considering the condition of the mar
ket and the general business depres-
sion.
In this program is lesson to farm
ers that they should not readily for
get. Many creamerymen judge their
success by whether or not they are
able to get premium over or under
a certain market quotation. With
out doubt, creameries would receive
the quotation and possibly some
premiums for butter even though the
market had been permitted to go
down to 25 cents per pound.
operative associations to be sue
ceSsful must be a factor in making
a quotation on fair basis rather than
a mere institution to work for premi-
ums over the market over which they
have no influence or control. Flat
quotation of 3S cents is better than
several cents premium at 80 cents
per pound

NEPOTISM

An editorial appeared not long ago
in the Minneapolis Daily Star con-
demning nepotism-the hiring or APP
pointing of relatives of legislative
members to political jobs-said editor
ial being published in last weeks is
sue of the American under the column
From Our Exchanges"
The Star brings out that Missouri
and other states have laws against
nepotism and that such law should
be enacted in Minnesota. The Ameri-
can is heartily i'm favor of this move
though it is no credit to the legis-
lature that such a move is made
necessary for if the calibre of the
legislative members was bigger and
not so pecuniary there would be no
need for such law. The trouble is
that some legislative members try TO
make the job which pays $1,000 for
two years, n living for themselves and
their families and this can only be
done by accepting or seeking all there
is to be gotten; and by accepting
those appointments for themselves
and relatives they are put in an obi
eating position To others whom they
are not elected to represent and hence
their constituents are forgotten.

polls. wrote the Star on this matter.
in part as follows:
Doubtless, many of the jobs ere
ated and parcelled out, are abso-
lutely unnecessary to the carrying
on of Legislative business. and are
created for the purpose of putting
relatives or political henchmen on
the state payroll or for paying po-
litical debts and constructing a po-
litical machine. Jobs should be
created only when necessary for the
facilitation of state business and
such jobs should be awarded with a
view of the fitness and competency of
the appointees to perform the task.
and not because they are relatives or
political friends.
Your suggestion that candidates
for the legislature should declare
their position on this subject. is
fair and laudable one and one which
no candidate should evade.
