Washington stands In allegiance each
winter while awaiting announcement
of the social program from the White
House and the moment 1t is made So
ciety and the trades look up. Station
ers open up their big stock Of cards,
florists p1Ine their bushes, caterers
look over their pantries and silver
chests, gown shops-in particular-take
on . brisk air and the entire atmos-
pfere Is weighted with social impor-
lance. Engraved cards are still the
fashion among Americans though
diplomats often have their cards and
programs printed and engraving takes
time So 1t is for this and hundred
other reasons that society rejoices to-
day over the issuance from the White
House of the winters Official social
program.
An appended note states that: Gas
lent comes so early this season. the
calendar is very congested. There will
be only one reception for the six de-

day comes February Is and with the
20 days of sackcloth and ashes. Easter
Sunday dawns April S. While neither
the President nor Mrs Hoover are of
q religious belief that exacts the strict
keeping of Lent. they have a regard
for other churchmen and no event of
the oficial program extends beyond
Ash Wednesday.
The Presidents dinner to the Cabi-
net is always first on the ofncial pro-
gram and this year comes Just one day
later than the dinner given for his
executive family last season. This
brings IL on Thursday, December 3, and
9 O'Clock is the hour. The Army and
Navy reception. always considered the
most h-SSsant of the series next to the
diplomatic reception. this season falls
on Thursday. December 10. Just week
later than the Cabinet dinner Not in
many years, even during the World
War. were there so many changes in
the diplomatic corps, all of which adds
to its interest and in some cases to
ttS hrilliancy.
new Speaker of the House will sit
1T table with the President the night
OF February 2. and ct the reception for
the Senate and that for the House OF
Representatives many new faces will
appear. The New Year Day recep-
ton. as cosmopolitan as the diplomatic
reception is exclusive. comes on Friday
and from IL O'Clock when the Presi-
dent receives greetings from the diplo-
mats. the Cabinet. the Supreme Court
and other high ofieials until the last

Conform With the Opinions
of the AskOv American.)

Lake Wilson Pilot: The small viii
lage in Minnesota is fighting with
it's back to the wall for its existence.
We must all admit when you are
fighting with backs to the wall you
need cooperation of every unit and
that is what we need in the small
town. The business man must realize
that without cooperation the small
town will be wiped out and it be-
hoves the business men to start trad
ing among themselves. They should
light the way. Not an article of mer-
chandise that could be had from your
neighboring business man should be
bought outside. Keep our money at
home, and do our trading at home,
it is our only salvation. We have
ordinances for dogs, livestock, riding
bicycles on sidewalks and a lot of
other petty laws, but not one on self
preservation; the first law of nature.
If we had an ordinance compelling
us to do our trading at home, and
obliging everyone that derives their
livelihood here, to do their trading at
home, there would be less stringency
in business. Let's forget our petty
differences and work together.

identity of business and politics that
is responsible for our bad politics
and this failure is perpetuated by
critics who wish to avoid a discussion
of the merits of any proposal and seek
to brush it aside by putting the curse
of politics" on it. The only merit
that such criticism possesses is that
it relieves both the critic and his au-
ditors from any mental effort. 1t is
mental labor saving device.
The International Chamber of Com
merce in its closing session passed a
diplomatic resolution to the effect
that national and international trade
should be encouraged by the removal
of every obstacle possible" Whether
the removal of tariff barriers would
result in stimulation of trade that
would compensate for it's other effects
is debatable question, but it is not
one to be dismissed by hurting at it
the epithet of politics" Neither is
it to be scOrnfully ignored because@its
proponents for the most part are Eu-
ropeans and thus foreigners" The
proposal is worthy of serious consider
alton, as matter of business and
politics.

are great store houses of grain, food
products being sold at very low prices
making it difficult for agriculture to
prosper, workers unable to purchase
same because of unemployment, and
industrial factories shut down because
of too large stocks of merchandise on
hand which the agricultural popula-
ton is unable to buy because Of lack
of purchasing power. They know that
if wealth was better distributed there
would be more prosperity and that
it is concentration of wealth which Is
our greatest economic trouble maker
today. Through tariff laws and other
legislation, sometimes lack of legis-
lation, like a stronger federal income
tax, they keep the fortunes intact and
keep adding to them. That policy Of
which Mr.. Mellon is one of the great
est defenders and offenders may work
for while but it will have an end
ing and if the multi-millionaires can
not see that and act accordingly it
will be just too bad for them.

BETTER DISTRIBUTION is
NEEDED

Andrew Mellon who is by many
considered the greatest secretary of
the treasury since the days of Alex
ander Hamilton, and is often the
American spokesman for those who
have amassed great wealth, gave ex-
preston recently to his opinions in
the following words:
Capitalism or whatever name may
be applied to the system which has
been evolved in adapting individual
initiative to the machine age has de-
fects, of course, and may be, as has
been suggested, still in its infancy
but there is no disputing the fact that
il has produced an abundance of food
and clothing. Defects in the present
system we shall overcome by degrees
$50. so that we shall not have the
painful spectacle of men willing to
work but unable to find market for
the only commodity which they can
exchange for food and clothing which
they need and which the world can
produce in such abundance"
Mr.. Mellon and scores of other in
telligent wealthy men know where
the shoe pinches. They know that in
America, the richest country in the
world with amassed fortunes, there

CONTEMPLATION FOR
THE COUNTY BOARD

Judging from the way the wires
have been humming and the mails
working into and out of Pine City,
the Pine county board of commission
ers, the engineering department and
the county auditor have started the
newest, most practical and likely to
be a powerful agency of tax reform
according to Truman Pierson of Min
neapolis, veteran good roads man and
president of the Mississippi River
Scenic Highway System, who is on a
statewide tour of investigation of tax
matters with particular reference to
county management. He spent five
days Investigating Pine county roads
and road conditions.
. County Auditor Andrew>P. Edin re-
ceived request this week from the
county board of Carver county to ex-
plain why Pine county bought Gull
verts for less money last March than
Carver was asked to pay this week
when out of six bids received five
were all alike. In view of the exact
ness of five bids the board got sus-
picious and held up the whole works
pending investigation of why Chisago
county recently threw out all bids
when the price was so much higher
than Pine paid and which strangely
enough also came out the same. A
few days before Roseau county, also
threw out all bids alleging 'com-
bine" against the taxpayers on the part
of the "culverteers." Then the board
called for open bids and saved a nice
bunch of money for which they thank
Pine county commissioners, it is said
This board procured copies of the Of
fetal minutes of Pine county and de-
manded to know from the culvert
bidders why Roseau should pay about
$1,000 more than Pine for the same
thing. No explanation coming they
then clinched their cause by display
ing copies of bids for Polk and other
counties which also showed that Ro.
seau was being lacked up" All the
board members in Roseau are farmers
and sell butterfat on badly flattened
out and declining market. The Roseau
members want to know why, with but
| terfat down, eggs almost as free as
the air, grain prices shot, metal
should be up and going up.

NEEDLESS TOLL

With the death of Speed" Holman
at Omaha, Nebr., recently comes the
realization of the reckless waste of
energy expended in aviation activities.
1t is indeed lamentable and sorrowful
that a human life has been so pre-
maturely taken but from the stand
point of quality it is more disastrous
to the aviation world because Speed"
Holman was all that the name i'm
piled. He was a good aviator and a
pioneer worker for its advancement.
His experience and skill was needed
sorely to further safety devices and
to make aviation more fool proof and
a coming commercial power in the
country.
When it comes to the point of why
he met his death it is hard to believe
that his style of flying at that par
ticular moment was necessary, since
it is seen that he was careening
through the air at the rate of four
miles per minute and at an altitude
of only fifty feet from the ground.
Spain has been condemned by civili-
cation for her bullfghts but why a
thrill crazed America enjoys and de-
mands life-risking feats such as ex-
acted this life it is difficult to believe
and certainly will retard the industry
under whose auspices it was accom-
plished rather than forward its pur-
pose.

WHAT TO DO IN
FRESH ROAD OIL

Just as the progressive house
wife looks for and uses the best
recipes at canning time and as the
fisherman looks to serving his
quarry with the bait which brings
it the greatest joy and to his fry
ing pan the best, so it is at this
time of the year when the state
highway department is preparing
to surface 678 miles of the states
graveled highways with new btu
minous treatment that motorists
will like to know what is the best
thing to do when travelling over
freshly treated bitiuminous road.
First as a preventive to skidding
and to damage the paint on the
motorists car speed of not great
err than Is miles per hour should
be maintained over the fresh
stretch.
However, if a car becomes spat-
tered with the sticky oil and tar
then, according to automobile beau
~ surgeons, a mixture OF one part
lubricating oil to four parts of
gasoline should be applied to the
spattered places and allowed to re-
main for five minutes before being
washed off with mild soap and
water. This application should be
given before the oil or tar has be-
come hardened.
1t is advised by a recent highway
bulletin that heed should be taken
to the "slow" signs posted where
work is in progress. In this man
ner disastrous accidents might be
avoided and the foregoing remedy
for a badly spattered car finish will
not be needed.
