POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE

Einar Hoidale, Democratic nominee
for United States senator from Min
nesota, gave an interesting speech
over the radio recently in which he
discussed politics and political indie
pendence from common sense
standpoint.
The speaker declared that economic
independence has been found bless
ing worth striving for and that like
wise political independence, with free.
dom from long-standing bias, also is g
goal worth striving for.

Hoidale said. Naturally and prop

TURNING DEMOCRATIC

1t appears that many of the Repub-
lican rural weekly newspapers out
over the state will support Hoidale
for the office of United States senator
this fall. They dislike Senator Schall
and things are not going so well in
the Republican party. From what we
know or have learned about Mr.. Hoi-
dale it appears that the newspaper
men can make no mistake in support
ing him. He has the reputation OF
being high grade man.
The Grand Rapids Herald-Review
one of the leading northern Minnesota
newspapers, is among those who have
turned their backs on Senator Schall
The Herald-Review writes I'm part a:

to their support, and they will. also
naturally, develop an interest in the
party they affiliate with Such IN
terest and support is proper.
However, the tendency on the part
of our people, and this applies to all
parties, is to stick to their party
through thick and thin, whether right
or wrong. This is prejudice. This
is not independence. This is a COM
plete surrender of individual Judg-
ment. This destroys capacity to rune
ton as good citizen
when any person declares that
he never has and never will vote for
any person except one who belongs to
his party, he announces that ne mas
surrendered his political independence
and has tossed judgment and reason
to the winds. He advertises the fact
that he is not free-that his preJudlce
binds him to his party in such man
ner that he has not the will to break
away. No fair-minded person can
deny that this attitude is wrong. Ii
all men took this stand there never
would be any change.
1T seems too clear for argument
that the best citizen is not the most
incorporating partisan, but the
man or woman who has enough OF
individual and political independence
to shift his or her political support OF
affiliations whenever conditions de-
mand such a shift.
I'VE enter into marriage for bettel
or for worse, but we make no sucf
contract with our political party. a
political party is nothing more or les:
than a tool or instrument by means
of which we work to accomplish wha
lis best for our common country, GU
state and our homes.

The NeU County
Aid Road Plan

A little information on the county
aid road plan, the new law which was
passed by the Minnesota legislature
in 1929, might not be amiss- There
appears to be quite little misunder-
standing in regard to this new law,
and the American has been asked to
sort of clarity the situation.
One-third of the gas taxes go to
constructing and maintaining county
aid roads.
Pine county will spend approximate
ly $4,000 on county aid roads during
1880.
Twenty percent of the construction
cost of these roads is to be paid by
the township and the balance out OF
the county aid road funds, and after
construction of the roads, the main
tanning is kept up by the county.
For the year 1929 Pine county re-
ceived $35,291 and for 1880 the re-
ceipts will be $41,O4O to be paid in
August 1880 and February 1881.
The question has been raised ii
equipment necessary to be used for
construction or maintenance work can
be purchased out of county aid funds
To this question the state attorney
general has answered yes.
The attorney general has also ruled
that engineering expenses necessarily
incurred are a part OF the cost Of
construction and maintaining cOun
ty aid road and are properly payable
out of the county aid road fund
County aid roads are to be wei
made highways with 20 to "a foo
roadbeds according to amount o
travel, and graveled after construc
ton has been completed.
Some county aid roads are bein,
built in each of the five commissions
districts this year, approximately tel
miles in each. In the course of fiv
or six years there will likely be som
county aid roads in every TOWNSHIP
of the county.

"a generation ago we were an over
fed race Then we began dieting to
reduce adipOse and to conserve health.
And we overdid it, just as we have
overdone many other good things. On

undertaking more firmly upon us.
"The per capita annual consumption
of beef fell from more than seventy
seven pounds in 1907 to less than fifty

but to which many still cling, are
largely responsible for this decline.
Merely asking the people of Amer,
lea to eat more farm products is not
going to help much. But teaching
them why they should eat more farm
products, convincing them that there
should be no drastic dieting except
on doctors orders, will help greatly

EATING A SURPLUS

Sound and sensible is the educa-
tional program planned by business
and professional men of Minneapolis,
through their Civic and Commerce
association, to induce the people OF
the United States to remove the farm
crop surplus by eating it.
Sound, because the only surplus re-
moval that will really help agriculture
is removal by consumption. Sensible
because many Americans are not eat
ing enough. In the richest nation In
the world there are far too many
undernourished specimens, partly be-
cause of injudicious dieting fads
partly because of an equally injudi-
cious seeking after extreme slender
ness.
1.-The Association points out that
single extra slice of bread day, con.
sumed by each American, would elm
mate the wheat surplus and prevent
others. True, some human bodies az
not need the extra slice. But grea
many more do. An increase in breat
consumption would physically hell
rather than hurt the race.
Nor does the average American
child or adult drink enough milk, o
eat enough butter, or meat for hi
own good"

To read such advice, that dieting
people and slender people should eat
a little more in order to do away with
the farm products surplus and that
education along those lines is needed
is to say the least, disgusting. There
are plenty of people among the I'M
employed who are slender for no rea-
son of their own and the food that
they would digest if they were given
work would in volume be so much
greater than that eaten by the slender
and up-to-date ladies that there would
be hardly any comparison.
No. we do not need education along
the lines of eating more as much as
we need work for the unemployed.

The above is taken from the Min

They call it Sound and sensible
educational program. What the peo-
pie need is not so much education
about eating, but the where-with-all
to buy the food with. Another slice
of bread a day to the few who are
dieting and want to be slender might
increase the consumption of farm
products little, but it would be very
little and it appears to us that bust
ness and professional men of Mime
apolis, could spend their time to better
advantage than to be discussing and
quibbling over the question in that
manner and just merely scratching
the surface.
This is certainly not getting at the
root of the evil, and those business

better and likely they do 1t is just
