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 it's 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,OO0 for emergen-
cy unemployment relief, to be raised
chiefly by surtax on 1881 incomes.
The surtax proposed by the COVER
nor would tend to redistribute the
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 it's recurrence in the future.
1.-The people have in the past al
lowed capital to have both the control
of our business machine as well 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.
Zone 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SHOULD BE REPEALED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 we'll 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 inn
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.

ABOUT COOPERATION

Editor AskOv American: 81.
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 well to mention the reason for
this special meeting.
Last winter at the annual meeting
the sentiment expressed was for the
association to keep on shipping and
for short time it went nicely but
soon too many seemed to think 1t
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 recent meeting ef 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,
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. say,
shame on this kind of cooperation.
l 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, i hope to
see you all at the special meeting of
the shipping association on Dec. 10.
Yours for cooperation always.

as to how the elected candidate is re.
garding our demands during the. leg
islative or congressional session.I Pc
litical party affiliations should not be
taken into consideration. If we car
get the man to work for our program
and not against our interests, party
means nothing to us as far as oul
common needs are concerned.
Taxation is the big problem at pres.
ent, circumstances have made it so
but personally 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 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 whole, ii
be legislation or only of county local
interest.

see the masses in state of subser-

much more now than before, that
