HARD TO DEFEAT FRIEND

Republicans in Minnesota this year
and later, on March II, the state con-
ventiOn, the first i'm twelve years for
the endorsement of candidates for
state offices, The Long Prairie Leader
commenting on the chances of Re-
publican being elected this year to
the office of governor, says it is
realized that Olson has a powerful
following and will be a hard man to
defeat regardless of the issues or the
candidate. There may be chance of
the Republicans winning this fall if
they can get together in harmonious
and united support of their candidate.
There is no chance whatever to defeat
Olson unless they do"

WOULD RATHER BE THE HEAD OF
A DOG THAN THE TAIL OF A LION
FinlaysOn Township.

Editor AskOv American:
In the beginning man was created
and endowed with power to think and
act intelligently but Satan's agent and
mans enemy in the form of a slick
looking snake with a spotted dazzling
appearance made his acquaintance
on the premises and seeing a chance
to deceive and afterwards prosecute
the settlers in the Garden of Eden he
poisoned the minds of those honest
people and they gave their consent
to allow their enemy to do their
thinking. Thereby in their inexperi-
ence' and simple state became the
tail of the lion, and without thinking
was thereafter dragged about at will
by the beast spoken Of Had they
demanded the right to become the
head of a dog instead of being sat-
isfied to be the tail of a lion,
they would at least have had
a chance of doing some think
ing for themselves, and today
there are some who like Mother Eve
belong to the weaker element and not
being willing to think for themselves
will act on the spur of the moment
without considering the rights of
mankind and by thus doing puts all
under the rule of some prosecuting
combinations but thank God this win
ter has been a cold and hard one and
some of the tails not getting any
warmth or substance from the lion
has dropped off and the process of
evolution must have begun at once
as many of those tails have COM
menced to show signs of intelligence
This fact was made manifest and a
demonstration given in a vote taken
on the game warden and fire warden

BETTER SERVICE

The University of Minnesota is now
working on a plan which when COM
pleted will offer many students each
year a more comprehensive education
for time spent at the institution.
Many each year enter the university
with certain restrictions as to the
length of their enrolment. Hereto
fore these short termers had been
obliged to take the regular graduate
curriculum which did not give them
sufficient education in the time that
they had to spare. Now the manage
ment of our state university is work
ing out a plan whereby special
course of study will be available for
short termers and this study will give
them as much training in their
chosen course as is possible to crowd
into it.
This would appear to be a step in
the right direction and should invite
more to take advantage of what per-
iod of time they can spare for ad-
vanced education.

GREAT INTEREST SHOWN

The packed court rCOm-the over
flowing crowd-at the countrywide
tax meeting in Pine City last Thurs
day was a remarkable demonstration
of the interest being taken in taxa
tion and general governmental prob
lens in Pine county, as is the case
in nearly all parts of the state.
Many Resolutions were passed, some
of which have been advocated in the
editorial columns of the Askov Amer
lean for some time. Economy in gov
eminent and good functioning state
income tax kelly have the gIeatest
possibilities in the lowering OF taxes
for the farmer and property owner.
We have written much in the past on
the income tax, many articles and let
ters have been contributed, and we
expect to publish another article deal
ing very extensively with this subject
in the near future.
Realizing that the agricultural
population is paying from 300 to 500
of their income in taxes the telephone
companies and railroads of the state.
gross earnings taxes, could well take
a raise. They should sacrifice to some
extent their preferential position in
tax obligations to help maintain the
government. The average tax per
mile of railroad lines in MINES sofa in
1928 was 1888, while the average for
the United States was Sill. In 20
states the average tax per mile Of
line was higher than in Minnesota,
while in Is states it was lower.
In 1929 the gross earnings tax on
railroads in Minnesota was SS,1i1 ,673.
Due TO depression and competition the
state received considerably less in
1880. The shortage from such sources
as the gross earnings tax and the iron
ore tax, which was also less, meant
that it was so much of an added tax
on general property as farms, homes
and business places, causing an in
creased tax burden to the average
Matchmaking a higher state tax levy.
A chain store tax could raise about
a half million dollars. A tax on Oleo-
margarine has possibilities of better
prices on butter. helping the dairy in
terests to better incomes and thus
placing the farmers in a better posi-
ton to pay their taxes.
One of the great needs of the hour
is to shift some of the tax load from
property to avenues of higher income
that are more profitable than agri-
culture, and a program of this type
will do the work.

A SUDDEN CHANGE

Andrew Mellon was given much
favorable publicity throughout the ad
ministrations of Harding and Cool
idge. being heralded as the greatest
secretary of the treasury since the
days of Alexander Hamilton, due
largely to his sOcalled tax reduction
program. TwO-thirds of the revenues
collected by the federal government
are through the means of the federal
income tax, the balance inheritance,
tariff, and excise taxes. There are
nc general property taxes going to the
federal government so the tax reduc-
tiOns for which some folks tried to
give Mr.. Mellon so much credit were
the reductions to those who could
we'll afford to pay the BILL the exemp-
tions on the federal income tax being
great enough to afford a very COM
Portable living. If the federal in
come tax rates had been kept up as
they were following the World war,
OF at any rate as they were previous
1924 we would have been going along
on a more cash basis, without the
federal deficit that we now face. The
maximum rate just following the war
was $50, then it was dropped to 400,
and in 1924 it got down to its present
maximum rate of 24T.
Little has been heard about the
wonderful secretary of late for the way
money has been handled is not max
ing his record any better. Ten times
as many banks have failed through
out the country during the ten-year
period that Mr.. Mellon was secretary
as in the previous ten-year period.
Chances are that this wealthy man
was being looked upon as a liability
to the administration and the Repub-
lican party and therefore he must be
shifted. Will Rogers, the humorist,
writes a little note to Uncle Andy
Mellon and says he is 'the first man
to step down in order to take the
ambassadorship to Great Britain" In
saying goodby, the humorist adds this
timely advice: Take care of your
self. If you put on knee breeches be
sure and put on long woolens under
neath.''
His voluntary leaving eliminates
Impeachment proceedings from taking
place. His vast interest in commerce
might have made it difficult for him
to retain the office of secretary of the
treasury once the lid was pried open
and the records and his business con-
nections looked into.
