MUST ORGANIZE

Consider your problems apart from
the six great revolutions now in pro-
gress-political, industrial, financial
scientific, psychological and social
and you are doomed, Mr.. Farmer
That was the advice given members
of the National Creamery and Butter
makers association by Prof. Glenn
Frank, president of the University OF
Wisconsin.
1.-The agricultural part of America
in this corporate age must organize
or the farmer will be permanently
lost in the shuttle. We are at the
point in economic evolution where
the old individualism is doomed, and
in the future American life is going
to act in terms of highly organized
groups" he said.
Agriculture, the most stubborn
stronghold of the dying individualism
must adopt the combination form OF
business. The farmer must hang
together or he will hang separately.
The one thing left to us is to decide
the question of the type of contro
that is going to be exercised ovel
this group action. Shall it be feudaI
or federalized?"

FROM OUR EXCHANGES
Editorial Comment From Other News
papers. Which May or May Not
Conform With the Opinions
of the AskOv American.)

Mile Laos County Times: The
rate of state taxation in Minnesota
may be increased a little-sOme say
it may reach the same rate that it
did in past Republican administra-
lions. But it is silly to blame the
Farmer-Labor administration for the
increase when it has been in con-
troll of one of the state offices for
ten months. The increase is caused
by the necessity of paying obligations
incurred during past Republican ad-
ministrations that are now coming
due. There is nothing that new ad-
ministration could do in ten months
that could increase the tax rate in ten
months, even if it had control of all
the stae offices. 1t must be remem-
bered that all of the head offices of
state departments are still in control
of Republicans except that of COVER
nor, and they cannot dodge their part
of the responsibility for the years they
have been in control.

seems to be pardoned in other cases
to the extent that it is played up in
newspapers.
RAISING FEDERAL TAXES

The revenue act proposed by Presi-
dent Hoover and Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon would raise the in
come tax rates so that they would
be about the same as in 1924. A per-
son would pay 2 per cent up to $4,000
income where it is now y per cent;
4 per cent on the next $4,000, 6 per
cent on the remainder. and surtaxes
graduated from 1 per cent on $4,000
to 40 per cent over 100000, where
the maximum is now 20 per cent. The
exemptions now are 81, 500 to single
persons; $500 to married persons;
each dependent $500. This would be
changed to 81 900. $4,000 and $500 re-
spectively, the exemption for each
child remaining the same. The fact
that exemptions are lowered to $1,000
on single persons and $4,000 for mar
ried persons is not so bad for they
can all afford to pay some tax if it
is necessary but the special taxes that
will be added will tend to slow up
business and be bothersome. They
include taxes on checks, telephone
calls, telegraph messages, automo-
biles, radios, amusements down to the
humblest motion picture show, and
higher rates on postage, cigarets and
corporations.
This looks like wartime proposals.

ABOUT COOPERATION

Editor Askov American:
AS advertised elsewhere in this is
sue, a special meeting will be held
Dec. 10, by the Askov Livestock Ship
ping association. l thought it might
be we'll to mention the reason fol
this special meeting.
Last winter at the annual meeting
the sentiment expressed was for the
association to keep on shipping and
for a short time it went nicely but
soon too many seemed to think il
was just up to the other fellow to
keep it going. but lately the other fell
low has also quit, with the result the
association is crippled.
At a recent meeting of the board
it was thought best to cease activities
for while, and let everybody ship as
they best see fit, but before doing so
call special meeting and let any
body express themselves as to what
they think will be best.
Now l don't believe cooperation is
quite dead yet in this community, but
it is dying, what about our other CO.
operatives, for instance our creamery,
l can't understand how any share
holder in the creamery can deliver
his cream elsewhere month after
month not only at loss to himself
but also to the creamery and still
think he is a co-operatOr. l say,
shame on this kind of cooperation.
| might also mention the same in re-
gard to our Cooperative Feed store.
Shareholders should stick to it at all
times. l am we'll aware of the ru-
mors that l, as president of the Feed
association, was not buying our feed
there, but getting it either in Willow
River, Rutledge or had it trucked in,
the matter of fact is we have bought
very little feed this year, but every
pound bought has come from the CO.
operative association. Let me tell you
when A. P. quits fighting for coop
Grafton, if still alive, he should be
sent to st. Peter. In my opinion there
is no such thing as 500 co-operator,
it is either 1000 or nothing at all, but
coming back to my start. 1 hope to
see you all at the special meeting of
the shipping association on Dec. 10.
Yours for cooperation always.

IS LEVY CUTTING REALLY
ECONOMY?
editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
Last winter we had a couple of we'll
attended voters and taxpayers meet
ings in this county. Similar meetings
have been held in many counties in
the state and the demand for lower
taxes have been brought forth at all
of these meetings, resulting in the
lowering of local taxes by the sum of
about 100000 for the state of Min
nesota. Eighty-six counties cut their
levies over two million dollars, and
the townships will try to get along in
1882 with over one and a half million
dollars less than seemed necessary to
levy in 1880.
1t looks good, but how is it going
to turn out? Did the local boards
really spend over seven million dol
lars more than was necessary? do
not believe this is the case. Many of
these cuts were made without taking
into consideration what the result
most likely will be. Just one ex-
ample on how these cuts were made
and how it may work out: In our
township we will have about Is mills
less in 1882 than we had this year,
caused by cutting our road and bridge

garding our demands during the leg.
islative or congressional session.t Pc,
litical party affiliations should not be
taken into consideration. If we can
get the man to work for our program
and not against our interests, party
means nothing to us as far as our
common needs are concerned.
Taxation is the big problem at pres
ent, circumstances have made it So
but personally l believe we have many
other problems in common which may
be taken up as time goes on, prob
lens that are much more important
than the tax dollar.
If in time we can get so many
counties interested in this program
that a state convention can be had
there is no reason why the rural pop
ulation cannot get the legislation we
deserve and need badly. In talking
this matter over with the county COM
missioners at their last meeting, the
commissioners expressed their will
lingness to call meeting of all tax
payers and voters in the county. Let
us have such a meeting before Christ
mas so that there will be time to get
other counties interested during the
winter. Let us meet and discuss our
problems and let us cooperate.
The idea of having the county COM
missioners call the meeting is based
On the supposition that the problems
to be discussed are, and shall only
be, problems that are of vital i'm
portance to the county as a whole, it
be legislation or only of county local
interest.

HERE is ACTION

Our neighboring state of Wisconsin
is feeling the depression less today
than any other state in the Union.
Governor Philip F. LaFollette says
this is because Wisconsin has for
many years been attempting to re-
distribute it's income, and its tax bur-
den. Wisconsin raised 80 per cent of
her taxes from property. Now she
raises only &c per cent in this way.
The things LaFollette proposes now
are not untried theory. They have
proved their worth.
The Wisconsin legislature was re-
Gently called into special session by
the governor to make further pro-
vision for the welfare of its people
and thus make sure that there be no
want or suffering within the borders
of that state. The governor has asked
for fund of $16,75O,OOO for emergen-
cy unemployment relief, to be raised
chiefly by surtaX on 1881 incomes.
The surtax proposed by the COVER
wealth of the state by taking most
from those with large incomes and
distributing the money raised by the
tax to the unemployed in wages on
public works or through direct relief.
High lights of Governor LaFollette's
message to the legislature include the
following:
I'VE are in the midst of the great
est domestic crisis since the Civil war.
In this crisis, people are divided
broadly into two groups: one opposes,
and one favors collective action to
meet the emergency and to guard
against its recurrence in the future.
THE people have in the past al
lowed capital to have both the control
of our business machine as we'll as
to receive the larger portion of the
financial return from it's operation.
Capital cannot justly expect to remain
in control of both management and
the lions share of financial return if
it is not willing to assume the respon-
sibility of keeping that machine in
operation.
"One of the substantial evils of
chain or group banking is that it in
PRODUCES stock promotion into the
ownership of banks. Banking deals
primarily with other peoples money.
Those that are appealed to by specula-
tive profits and various forms of gam
bling have no place in and should
be ruthlessly excluded from banking"

SHOULD BE REPEALED

Repeal Of the Hawley-Smoot Tariff
Act of 1880 which sharply raised the
rates fixed in he Fordney- Nc Cumber
Act is proposed by Senator Costigan of
Colorado and Congressman Lewis of
Maryland, Democrats, who formerly
were members of the U. S. Tariff
commission.
They do not indicate that they
would be satisfied with the Fordney-
McCumber rates, but say that Presi-
dent Hoover might well go back to
those rates, and ask congress also to
repeal the flexible rate clause of the
present law, as a means of reviving
foreign trade.
By thus putting up to the President
"a test of his frequent declarations
that foreign trade expansion is neces-
;sary to the commercial health of the
United States, COstigan and Lewis
have challenged the regular G. o. P.
organization in congress to defend the
Hawley-Smoot Act in view of the num-
erous reprisal acts adopted by foreign
governments against American i'm
ports. They also raise the question
as to how foreign countries are to
make payments owed to American in
vestors, if foreign goods are TO con-
tinue to be barred from our markets
by this tariff wall. We cannot ex-
pect to continue trading with other
countries if we continually want the
best of the DEAL

TARIFF ISSUE RETURNS

1t is beginning to look as If the 1892
presidential campaign will be in at
least one respect return to the po-
litical styles of two or three decades
ago. 1t will be campaign in which
the tariff will play very large part.
In recent years national campaigns
have not hinged on the tariff. The
subject has been mentioned, of course.
now and again, but nobody paid much
attention to it. 1t meant few votes
either way, and it got much less at
tention than it deserved.
Now it begins to look as if the
tariff win be one of the main features
of the next campaign One of the
favorite issues" of generation ago
is showing remarkably promising
signs of life.
