YES, HE MILkS COWS

In his political talks julius
Schmahl, state treasurer, who has
been on the public payroll the past
thirty years, advises against voting
for any one who makes a joke of a
political office by entering milking
contests" He of course refers to the
well known Magnus Johnson who is a
candidate for Congress in this cam
paign. Magnus Johnson is friendly
and everybody likes him, but don't
let any one try to make out that he
is a joke for he knows something
about economics The man is honest,
honorable. and loyal and that cannot
be said of everybody seeking political
office. Magnus Johnson has been, and
is now and then busy at the honorable
occupation of milking cows while
some folks are milking the public all
the time.

THE BOOKKEEPING SCARE

The last attack against the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
Amendment No. 1-sent broadcast
over the state and of course eminat-
ing from the sources where the in
come tax is to be paid, is for the
purpose of soaring the average citi-
zen into voting against it. Through
this circular attempts are made to
have the average voter believe that
he has to do extensive bookkeeping,
and that he will be taxed every time
he sells a hog, or a COW, or cashes
a cream check. Such bunk! Big
finance knows that most farmers and
workers do not like bookkeeping and
the idea back of this last minute
smoke screen is to have them throw
up their arms in disgust and say:
I'VE want nothing of this, on top of
all our other troubles" If you think
your general property tax is high
enough or too high you can help
change that system by voting for the
income tax amendment. The purpose
of the income tax is to have taxes
paid more on basis of income rather
than prOperty-to lower real estate
taxes.

MANY OPINIONS

The readers have of course OBJ
served that the Opinion of Others"
column has been chOck full of ma
terial especially the last few months
of the political campaign, 1t has
been the object of this newspaper
right along to give space to the diff
ferent views on political, social and
economic questions, irrespective of
political party affiliations, and in this
way we feel that we are serving our
readers best. 1t has also been our
aim to publish the articles in the
first possible issue, but some weeks
they have had to be held over for
lack of time and space Though the
typesetting machines operated until
three o'clock this morning it was i'm
possible to get all the material into
type this week and even though the
paper is twelve pages today some
material is left out. However, the
different views find expression in the
various columns and there will prob
ably be plenty for the reader to di-
geSt for one week. Plain advertising
is of course eliminated from the
Opinions of Others" The advertis-
ing columns are for that purpose
! the newSpaperman's, stock in trade.
There is one point that should be
called to the attention of readers
sending in opinions and that is the
necessity for getting it in on time.
| When the paper is out on Thursday
the operators on the machines are
| ready to set type for another issue.
They have other publications to set
| also but they can set some material
| for the next issue of the AskOv Ameri-
can on Thursdays, Fridays and Satur-
days. Then on Mondays mad Tuesdays
they are prepared to do more type
setting. Opinions of Others" and

| day evenings for there is plenty of

reached the acute stage with us. The
burden on property, and particularly
on farm property, has grown heavy,
and unless it can be lghtened, our
future prosperity will be seriously
menaced. Under our present revenue
system there is but little hope for any
material relief from existing heavy
tax burdens on property. The remedy
in our judgment lies in the broaden
ing of our tax base, to include types
of wealth of taXpaying ability, but not
now contributing its fair share to the
growing expenses of government.
This can be done through the adCp-
est and most equitable of all forms
of taxation yet devised.
1T is our further conclusion that
if state income tax law should be
enacted. specific provisions should be
incorporated in the law, requiring
that revenues derived from the tax
shall be used solely for the purpose of
reducing taxes on farms and homes
and other tangible. property"
Here it should be noted that the
State Tax Commission makes no sug-
gestion of replacement guaranty in
the Constitution, but suggests what
the legislature should enact into law.
1t has also been stated by our Tax
Commission:
'As to driving industries out of the
state, we have recently been advised
by taxing officials of every state using
the income tax system that such a
statement is absolutely without foun-
datiOn."
If experience were to show that our
legislatures fail in their duty to make
the income tax replacement, we
shall always have the opportunity to
make ad d t ional Constitutional
Amendments.
In the meantime let us adopt the
Income Tax Amendment No. on Nov
Sth and Immediately put into effect
the income tax principle.

THEIR FIGURES MEAN NOTHING
Editor ASkOv American:

Editor ASkOv American:
In answering claims that r. F. C.
loans are being authorized to help the
Republican cause in doubtful states,
Mr. LamsOn takes great pains to in
form us that the president of the X.
F.. c. is a Democrat and that ma
jOrity of the directors are Democrats.
In Minnesota this is the game being
played to snare votes for Pr esident
Hoover.
The Republicans of California, how
ever, are playing the game little diff
ferently The San Francisco ChrOn-
icle in commenting on the decision of
the r. F.. &. to advance 100000 for
the bridge across the bay quotes VIM.
II. Croker, San Francisco banker and
former Republican national commit
teeman, as follows: Nobody but Mr..
Hoover and Mr.. Mills could have put
that over We wouldn't get such con-
sideration if somebody else were in
the White House. President Hoover
has done this for us" And the ChrOn-
icle added, on its own authority. the
following additional light on the mat
l.. Mills, in San Francisco in the in
terests of Pres. Hoover, adds his
weight to the friends application by
personal messages to Washington this
week.
HOover's speeches are full of fig
ureS, we agree. His speeches four
years ago were full of promises such
as, chicken in every pot, two cars in
every garage, poverty banished for
ever, etc. Since none of these prom
iseS have been fulfilled, why should
we take any stock in his figures now?
Our own commissioner of agriculture,
Mr.. R. A. Trovatten, appealed to the
Agriculture Credit Corporation, the r.
F.. {. Federal Department of Agricul-
ture and northwest railroads, who had
secured loans from the r. F.. c., for
loans to farmers on stored potatoes.
These loans would approximate S120
per car. On this sum $50 would be
for transportation and the rest for
sacking and loading. This would be
real farm relief
In the daily papers of Oct. % Mr..
TrOvatten announced as follows:
81 see no hope that the northwest
farmer will receive any financial aid
in his attempt to save part of the
potato crop, although there is no sur
plus of potatoes. The r. F. G. has
made loans to the very railroads to
which we appealed, and to banks from
which the farmer cannot borrow Il
cent. 1t means that millions of dol
lars of potatoes will rot in the fields
and that more farmers will lose
their homes
No. the farmers will not fall for all
those figures and promises. They are
not so damned dumb as you think
and will prove it on Nov. 8.

WILL ALWAYS LISTEN TO LOGIC
AND COMMON SENSE
Editor ASkov American:

Editor ASkUv American:
In the last weeks issue of the
"AskOv American" VIM. H. LamsOn
bewailS the fact that Republicans and
conservatives who tell the truth will
not be believed or listened to. Lam
son is mistaken. A Republican or
any conservative will always find
plenty of listeners if they tell the
truth, and all the truth and nothing
but the truth. The reason why their
statements are not taken seriously by
the average person is that they so
often lack conviction. Often their
statements are garbled truth and
sometimes sheer nonsense. Let us
have look at Mr. Lamson's state
ments and see what wisdom and truth
we can find therein.
We will not linger over the praises
he beStowS upon Hoover. Hoover has
been in office now for nearly four
years. The farm situation was bad
when Hoover took office and it is
much worse now Five cent corn and
S1.75 hogs with wheat at the lowest
point reached in three hundred years
are with us and have been with us
for some time, and nothing has been
done about it. The farmers know
