THE OBNOXIOUS TARIFF BILL

The Askov American is mighty
pleased to note that four Northwest
cooperative organizations represent
ing 100000 farmers are not being
tricked into supporting the obnoxious
SmoOt-Hawley tariff bill. In fact they
have come out flat footed against this
measure, backing up the statements
that have been made concerning same
by our United States Senator, Henrik
Shipstead. Senator Norris of Nebraska,
and the other progressive senator's
from the Northwest.
The statement was signed by John
Brandt, president of Land O'Lakes
Creameries, Inc; ]. s. Montgomery
general manager of the Central CO.
operative associations; w. S. Mos
Grip, president of the Twin City Milk
Producers association, and A. ]. Oh
son, president of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation.
The reasons for objecting to the bill
are set forth in brief as follows:
Il. 1t does not fulfill the home mar
ket pledges made by both parties to
give agriculture parity with industry
These pledges have been absolutely
disregarded by the Congress.
''2. 1t places an increased burden
on the consuming public which is
entirely unwarranted and which does
not have an off-setting advantage to
agriculture.
"3. A special session was called for
agricultural relief. This was to have
been the main purpose of the session.
Agriculture has not been given JUS
tice and we refuse responsibility for
an increased cost of living"
We know that the farmers of Pine
county, Minnesota and the Northwest
are in accord with the sentiments
expressed in the statement above and
are hoping for the veto of this bill
which is certainly not farm relief
measure as was promised the Ameri-
can farmer in the last campaign.

to give over One-siXth of his pay to
the representative who secured the
position for him. The representative
in question, who is not seeking re-
election, insists an effort is being
made to frame him and that he is the
victim of rotten politics.
The Star knows nothing of the
merits of the case. 1t does know, how
ever, that the legislative fleshrOts
have been odoriferous for many years.
Regardless of whether jobs have been
actually sold, as alleged, it is mat
ter of common knowledge that legis-
lators without number have been in
the habit of falling over themselves
TO make jobs for their sisters and their
cousins and their aunts to say nothing
OF their masculine kindred, at every
session of the legislature.
Six years ago Missouri passed a
law to do away with nepotism. Under
the statute, the legislator who APP
points a relative to a job automati-
cally vacates his own office. Several
other wide-awake states have similar
laws. Candidates for the Legislature
at this writing would do well to an
nounce whether they are in favor OF
adoption of a similar law in Mime
sofa Heaven knows it is badly
needed.

THE INFLUENCE OF AN
INDEPENDENT
(The Minneapolis Daily Starr

(The Minneapolis Daily Starr
Senator Shipstead. the man who a
few Minnesota people tried to keep
from reelection to the United States
Senate on the ground that not being
a Republican, he would be without
influence in Washington, has sprung
the prize coup of years in the upper
house by organizing solid block of
at least 80 senators to fight for nine
foot channel for the upper Mississippi.
1t is interesting to note that the
block contains both Republicans and
Democrats. pledged to fight for a
square deal for the middle west
against the influence of Republican
president who originally advocated
and promised the relief he now OPP
poses.
1t looks as though fighting free
lance senator is a whole lot more
of an asset to Minnesota than party
regularity or flock of political
promises.

THE COOPERATIVE CREAMERY

The cooperative creameries are the
backbone of the financial stability of
agriculture and business in Pine coun-
ty. They are owned by the farmers
and eXemplify cooperation in it's best
terms. The producers of butterfat
participate i'm all of the profits and
benefits. The creameries deserve the
unanimous support of every farmer
and every business institution in the
county or in any dairy community.
Boost your own cooperative creamery,
get the best men possible to manage
it. and then back them up. 1t pays
good dividends which has been dem
Onstrated in the years past.
The Land O'LakeS creameIies have
been the most important factor in
giving the people of America a high
grade butter, made from sweet cream.
They are making a product which is
meeting with a high degree of praise
from medical men because of it's vi
tamin content and health producing
properties.
The cooperative creameries under
Il
united front whereby they are able
to get a hearing from lawmakers,
also by more thorough organization
will they be able to keep surplus
from being dumped onto the markets
at critical times thus depressing the
market, as we have had a glaring ex-
ample of recently. A strong organiza-
ton will also be a determining factor
in the regulating of Importation of
the competing tropical oil products
which are sold as butter substitutes.
Not any of these substitutes contain
the health producing properties of the
high class Land O'Lakes product
AT present the Land OLakes assOci-
alton is composed of 10000 farmers
and more are continually joining.

velopment of the cooperative cream

operative creameries, which is noted
by a perusal of the statement pub
lished on the front page of the Ameri-
can this week, is due to the drop in
price of butter Which our readers are
well acquainted with. 1t is or should
be stimulus to back up the men and
groups who are working for better
agriculture and better dairy co-opera-
tive organizations.

WATERWAYS

Practically the entire Northwest is
united on the route of the proposed
deep waterway from the Great Lakes
to the Atlantic ocean-that is through
the st. Lawrence river instead Of
across the state of New York via the
swego-Hudson canal. But assuming
that we all desire to wise up on this
matter and know as much about it as
we can. the Askov American is this
week publishing a lengthy article of
seven columns concerning this pro-
ject-a speech delivered by the Hon.
VIM. l. CarsS of Duluth. in the halls
of Congress when he was a member
of that body We commend this ar
ticle to our readers as one that is we'll
worth the time to read and study. If
you have not the time to read the ar
ticle now, save this copy of the Amer
lean and refer to il later, for in it you
will find many good sound arguments.
statistics. historical facts. and ma
terial for settling arguments that may
come up on this project Mr. Carss
is an authority on the waterway ques-
ton and when he delivered this
speech in Congress he was given
much recognition in New York news
papers.
The Panama canal. when ii was
built, filled n long felt want. but il
also serves as detriment to the
Middle West on account of our long
hauls by train. Freight can be ship

on boat via the Panama canal cheap
er than we in the Middle West can
freight our goods by rail to New York.
and we will have that handicap to
overcome until we get more water
ways which include the Great Lakes
St Lawrence route and also river
transportation.
There is also talk now of building
another canal between North Amer

Hunting bear in Alaska is not all beer and skittles, according to J. H. Buxton of Des Moines, Iowa. who returned to Juneau last even- ing after spending several weeks at Eliza Harbor on Admiralty Island.
 After four trips to Alaska from his Middle West home, during which he travelled thousands of miles, MT. Buxton at last has suc- ceeded in bagging brownie. He came here on his first trip in 1919, and returned again in 1923 and 1926
 About two months ago he and Mrs. Buxton returned here and they have spent much time both in the Haines district, where their hunting was not successful, and on Admiralty Island, where they secured their bear.
 Mrs. Buxton holds the family fishing record, according to her husband. They both put in many hours trying to land some big ones, but it was Mrs. Buxton who pulled in 35-pound salmon one evening when she nonchalantly dropped her line overheard at Pybus Bay.
