MORE ABOUT QUESTION

Editor Askov American:
AS l have been reading Opinions
Of Others" in your paper, also listen
and others, and being a resident Of
the state Of Minnesota, most of the
time in Pine county. thought might
express my opinion to the public for
cons Iteration
In the first place we will take the
big game question, for instance, moose
season is closed in Minnesota, and as
everybody knows, moose will not stay
in a settled country, but also keep
working back, thus our Minnesota
moose hunters go to Canada, paying
$40 or $50 license to get moose, and
chances are that these same moose
are born and grown up in Minnesota.
Why not have a law so that a per-
son paying big game license has
the right to either moose, deer, or
bear if he is fortunate to get the bear.
Now, when l hear our game war
dens talking about preserving the
game for the four or five generations
to come, it makes me laugh Who
protected the automobile, airplaines,
and the Chinese ringnecks for our
forefathers?
Another thing l believe is a mis-
take is the short season for hunting
deer We all know that when there
are only a few days for hunting any
game that everybody that has the in
stinct to hunt has to get out on those
certain days and the consequences are
that woods and fields are full of hun
ters every where you go or look.
What chance has the poor game in
that short time? But supposing we
have four or six weeks, then some
would go one time and some at an
other. At least, that has been my
experience in the last thirty years.
AS long as there is a limit to the
amount of game one can take, what
is the difference if he gets it in five
or twenty-five days. The only diff
ference I see is the longer it takes
the more clothes he wears out.
Another thing that seems entirely
out of line is when some poor set
tier goes out and kills deer for his
own personal use and gets caught
with it. the game warden takes the
meat to some shop. where it is sold
for high price The fellow with the
money eats the deer since the poor
fellow in the city can't get it for the
simple reason that he hasn't the price.
My opinion is when the fellow pays
500 fine and costs he should be en-
titled to the meat or at least his fam
lily for the chances are he will have
to serve his time as he won't have
the money to pay the fine or he would
have bought his meat much cheaper,
for we all know what meat there is
on a deer isn't worth but about one
tenth of that.
According to my way of thinking
all this game and fish was'put on the
earth for the poor and needy for the
purpose of sustaining life and when
place, just as the automobile and air.
planes replaced the OK cart Who
owns all this game? Who pays the
farmer for his crop when it is de-
stroyed entirely by this game? Per-
haps, some of you readers will say
they never have done such a thing,
but l have seen it myself where a
family settled on a piece of land de-
veloping very nice garden and have
it totally destroyed, everything eaten
up except onions and they were sadly
cut up in places. Now, in this free

James ]. Hill, the late Empire
Builder, once said: Buying at long
range creates commercially the same
conditions that are so universally felt
where absentee landlordism prevails.
If farmers, local business men and To-
cal merchants should unite to build
up and maintain home trade, it would
add wonderfully to the prosperity of
them all. Such cooperation is part
of the problem of making country life
more attractive and profitable"
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1931-12-31

large private loans made to foreign
countries that amount to at least six
billion dollars of the seventeen bill
lion dollars of both private and ma
tional debt that foreign countries owe
America.
In order that these foreign invest
ments in plant operations have an
outlet for the products produced so
as to create large earnings on in
vested capital and to make it possible
that the private foreign debts be paid
off, it is quite necessary that Ameri-
can gold find it's way into foreign
countries in exchange for products as
imports into the United States as the
foreign debt will never be paid ex-
cept through a medium of imports
of foreign products into the United
States in excess of those we export.
The moratorium on payment of the
national debt excludes at least for the
present this large sum of money as
factor in this problem of exchange
of products and we can all feel quite
certain that the moratorium on ma
tional debts will be extended from
year to year until the private debts
have been paid off and then we can
look for a cancellation of the ma
tional debt
Judging from the existing situation
as to the investment of American cap
ital in foreign countries, we can read
lily, visualize the extreme desire on
the part of American capital for the
continuance of the Islands as a pos
session of the United States in order
that as much of any open door as
possible might be maintained for the
imports of agricultural products into
America. The past inequality of tar
iff protection in America for agricul-
ture that has placed it at great dis
advantage as compared with industry
is nothing more or less than the dom
inant influence of the finances that
control American industry in the bus
mess Of government, and for this rea-
son, we can be almost sure of the
united opposition of this group against
independence for the Philippine Is
lands.
The difference in the medium Of
exchange between the American dol
lar and foreign exchange has the eff
feet of materially reducing the lin
tied tariff that now exists on agri-
cultural products and while it has
the same effect on all imported pro-
ducts, the relatively higher rates on
manufactured goods as compared with
agricultural products still maintains
rather a high level for industry in
spite of the depressed foreign cur
rency, and unless the present session
Of Congress in a non-political and
unselfish manner gives its sound con-
sideration to the problem of equality
for agriculture in tariff matters by
either adding to agriculture or TAX
ing from industry, as we'll as a read
justment of our monetary system,
American farmers face a condition of
a lower standard of living than the
farmers producing like products in
foreign countries with the possibility
of a continuation of this condition
until at least the private foreign loans
have been largely repaid and the ma
tional debt cancelled.

1t is the same old gag of the re-
actionaries-keep the laborers and
the farmers divided. They know that
if the two are united and work to-
gether politically great things can be
accomplished for the masses, but if
divided the special privilege classes
can get away with their program.
The farmers and workers constitute
about 900 of the people. They should
be in control rather than the 1919.

Serving on the jury with too much
knowledge about the affairs of the
combatants and apparently also pref
udiced like Mrs. Genevieve A. Clark

so good as she certainly knows now.
The way things turned out it should
be lesson to Mrs. Clark as we'll as
to others who may serve on juries.

MILFORD GRANGE

For the past week or two every
granger you met was talking Grange
Fair, but that busy affair is now a
thing of the past and each and ev-
cry member deserves a vote of
thanks for the effort they put forth
to make it a success.
The first regular fall meeting will
be held Saturday evening, October
10 and of course every granger will
want to be on hand to hear the re-
ports of the various committees of
the Fair.
Owing to the fair the lecturer has
not been able to prepare a regular
program for this Saturday evening,
but there will be a question box
program. Several members have
asked for this so all come prepared
with a question written out ready
for the box. If any member, after
this fair, can see where an improve
ment over methods used this year
could be made, please pat it in the
form of question and bring it in
Saturday. Also new ideas for pro-
grams and any project members
would like to see the grange work
on this fall, will be welcome il put
in question form or otherwise.
Let this be real open forum and
everybody be ready with questions
and also constructive criticism.
We hope the several members
who are ill at this writing will be
back with us in a short while, COM
pletely recovered.

these migratory birds. These con-
illusions are amply supported by
spOrtsmen and others interested in
the situation. While the open sea-
son varies in different states, in no
case does it exceed a period greater
than one month. These periods were
selected to conserve the birds and
to avoid undue hardship on legiti-
mate interests. The original periods
have been slightly modified in some
of the states to take care of local
conditions, and an effort is being
made to have the season in this state
changed so that it will open on No

and close on December 1, instead of
December 49, This matter is now in
the hands of the Biological Survey,
at Washington, and in case any
change is made in the open season,
due notice will be given through the
press.
The Eastern Beagle Club will hold

Only a short time before he with
others made their escape from the
workhouse Jankovic had made ap-
plication to the State Board of Par
dons for a pardon. His application
came up at the September meeting
of the board but was continued un-
til the October meeting.
The October meeting of the board
was held at Dover last Friday. In
view of what had occurred since the
application was originally filed the
board took up the case again and
refused it definitely and probably
for all time.
So far as the Board of Pardons is
concerned the pardon case of Steve
Jankovic is closed.
OF the group who escaped from
the workhouse five are still at large,
