INTEGRITY Is REWARDED

Judge James H. WilkersOn of Chi
cago, who recently tried and sentenced
Al Capone in a fearless, honest and
strai ght- Om-the-shoulder way, was
advanced from the district court
bench to the circuit bench on Janu-
airy IL, by President Hoover. The
promotion was made in recognition of
Judge Wilkerson's services in break
ing up gangster activities in Chicago
which attracted admiration from nu-
merous sources.
For several years it has been the
general belief, especially among us at
a distance from Chicago, that the
power Of the gangster there was just
about the power that ruled and Ca
pone, now behind the bars, was the
crime leader who levied his assess
ments similar to the ancient kings.
The world was happy when this judge
stepped to the front and made known
that he would not bargain with the
gangster but give him his just pen
atty.
High positions can use such men as
Judge Wilkerson.

WANTS DEBATE

Editor Askov American:
Some time ago | wrote an article
il your paper relating to some vital
local issues which have been over
looked by our representatives. A man
who called himself pine Phil
OSOpher" took occasion to indirectly
ridicule my statements regarding the
constitutionality of some of our game
laws. | hereby challenge the pine
Philosopher" to a public debate in
ASkOv or community nearby, regard
ing the cOnstitutiOnality of the law re-
lating to carrying firearms on high
ways, search and seiSure without war
rants, eXhOrbitant fines and Jail SEN
fences, and the right to establish game
refugees or sell hunting licenses for
hunting on private property without
the owners consent.
The SpOrtsmen now propose to con-
fiscate all the property in northeast
ern Pine county: property which rep
resents investment of millions of dol
lars by American citizens and send
thousands of our home owners to the
poor house and then use this for the
rich sportsmen to celebrate.

BRIDGING THE ATLANTIC

Voices from the three Scandinavian
countries, Sweden, Norway and Den
mark, will be heard over the air
Sunday forenoon, Jan. oath, commence
ing at II o'clock, central standard
time. as mentioned in the Scandi-
navian news column of this issue.
The program will be broadcast over
the Columbia network and radio lis
teners need only tune in on WCCO.
Only once before, in 1880, has there
been broadcast from Norway to
America. This is the first time that
speakers in Denmark and Sweden will
be heard over the air in America, and
consequently also the first time a
combined Scandinavian program is
sent across the Atlantic. 1t is big
event which thousands and millions
will listen in on. Each country is
allotted Is minutes, the speeches
being first given in the mother tongue
and then translated into the Amer
lean language SO that all can under
stand it. The program starts with
chimes from the bell of the beautiful
city hall in Copenhagen.

AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION WORK
AND OTHER MATTERS
Editor AskOv American:

Editor ASkOv American:
Allow me to say few words in
regard to extension work in Pine
county. We have now carried it on
for three years without any help from
the county and | believe we can do
it this year also if we make up our
minds. At the meeting in Sandstone
last Saturday, when there was a good
sized crowd present from all over the
county, it was decided to raise enough
funds to carry the work along this
coming year through donations and
membership dues so if some one calls
on you in the near future for a small
donation or asks you to pay your past
dues to the Farm Bureau don't say no.
| know as well as anyone that
this is a bad time to ask for money
as we have but very little, but on
the other hand: Would you like to
see all the All Club work and extern
sion work in general stopped in this
county? Do you realize what the Pine
county fair would would be without
the All exhibits? There would be
nothing but the fakirs and side shows
left.
At the meeting Saturday some re-
marks were made in regard to Farm

DESERVE CONFIDENCE

1t is a credit to local banks who
have weathered the storm thus far
that they are still at the old stand
doing business. During good times
folks have money to spare and they
place it in the banks. In order to
make expenses and profit the bank
must loan this money to others,
usually in the community where it
operates. Those who have borrowed
money know how quickly a note comes
due and how seldom the obligation is
met. Renewals are the rule much
more than the exception. Wnen times
get hard. people who have saved
commence to use up their savings.
Those who generally borrowed, need
to borrow farther because their in
comes are cut. The bank, then, is
put to the necessity of calling in its
loans just at the time when more
people want to borrow. They have
the double burden. 1t is no wonder,
then. that they must refuse loans
during times like those we are now
passing through. The wonder is, that
they have been able to keep their
houses in order so they could pay
people as they called for their funds.
The local banks that have weathered
the storm and stood the test through
thick and thin deserve the confidence
of the public.

DOESN'T LIKE FIRE WARDENS

Editor Askov American:
i have been taking a great interest
in the discussions in your paper. Mr..
Mosbak had a very good piece last
week, also all the others. Who made
that game law? l suppose the big
"liOn," as Ernest says.
Now here is another thing which
you all overlook. That is the nui-
sance which we have in the fire war
den. Do you remember we never had
any forest fires until they were in
augurated? l came here 16 years ago
and never had to fight big forest fires
until the Moose Lake fire and we then
had them. Why was it? Only be-
eau eve y farme b lined his mea ow,
also the wild ones, when there was
still some snow or water. If you
broke piece of ground you watched
for a nice quiet day to burn. Now
you have to go from two to three
miles for a permit, if not further.
When you come back your chance to
burn is gone. They also issue per-
mits to men past 20 who cannot attend
to their fires. Then they will come
and get you. 1t does not matter if you
have hay or grain needing attention
you have to go or go to Jail. Two
years ago l lost nine loads of hay
fighting fire at Kingsdale, and got
1925. Before we were fighting fire
of our own free will to save our
homes. The warden came and said
you come without being called and
there is no money appropriated. Can
anyone tell me if they work for moth
ing too Cmaybe)? Or if they lose any
thing do they get pay. Sure, how
about the farmers hay, no money.
Do you remember folks the great
fuss that was made when Harry Geb-
hardt roasted them in the paper Has
any of you got paid for that? Of
course the wardens did, we know that
Also does it take Is game wardens to
watch such a big city as Markville
when we have hunting? Or if they
search a house does it take six war
dens as | am told it did in Markville?
Let us get away with all this unneces-
sary expense and then maybe we will
have lower taxes. Let's hear from
someone else.

ARE WE LOYAL TO co.
OPERATION?
editor AskOv American:

Editor Askov American:
| often wonder why the people of
this community. who have the reputa-
ton of being the best cC-Operators in
this state, are not loyal to that repu-
tation. l feel ashamed every time
hear an outside speaker talk about
the wonderful cooperation i'm AskOv,
because | know it is not true as we
have been more or less disloyal to
our Cooperative Shipping association
and thereby hunt our reputation and
also took bigger loss which we can
not afford, especially now during the
present depression when we need to
Why pay dollar per hundred pound S
for shipping calf by truck when we
can ship it for 60 cents through the
association and perhaps obtain a bet
ter market price on top of that 40
cents saving. Let us all get together
and ship through the association.
Then there is our cooperative
creamery. A good many have been
dislOyal to that, too, and thereby Gre
ated another big loss, both to them
selves and to the rest of the members,
raising the overhead expenses for
them and taking less for their own
cream by selling to the local buyer
who admits that we are getting more
for sweet cream at our cooperative
creamery than he can pay for sour
Then why should we let our cream
stand and get sour in order to get
6 cents less a pound for it. | think
that is very foolish. Therefore let US
get together and patrOnize our CO.
operative creamery and thereby cut
down the overhead expense.
What about the Cooperative Feed
association? Are we loyal to that?
No, that is in the same beat as the
other two. only it has a little harder
padding on account of both buying
and selling, but if all the members
would patrOniZe it both by buying all
their feed and having their grinding
done there, we could reduce our over
head expense considerably and save
money for ourselves and also save our
cooperative enterprises and our good
reputation which is worth a good deal
more than many realize.
Yours for loyal cooperation,

Politics can be both good and bad,
it may be educational to the person
who enters it, it may place him in a
position to do more good and be of
real service. and again it may wreck
him, all depending the man. Down
in an Illinois village, a woman suing
for divorce which she was granted,
said that politics had made bum
out of her husband. Before he was
elected mayor he came home nights,
put out the cat, never swore, drank
or smoked black stogies, she averred.
After his election, she said, "he began
to smoke big black stogies and TO
drink and swear. He refused to put
the cat out, and the dinner got cold
waiting for him to come home"

If the men of Pine county permit
their parents to be robbed and pau
perized by these sporting hOodlums
without putting up a fight that will
make a politicians blood run cold.
they are not worthy of the name men
let alone American citizens. Our
forefathers bought our liberty with
their blood-we should sell it for no
less. What we do must be done this
year while our land is still in the
hands of our county commissioners.
Next year will be too late. The price
for our property should either be gold
or blood
Any person or groups of persons
who in an undetermined manner Sc
cure certain governmental powers,
then use them to rob American citi-
zens of their rights and property for
their own personal agrandizement and
pleasure are guilty of high treason
and should be treated as such.
Now for the remedy which he asked
for: Abolish the cOnfiscation depart
ment CONSERVATORY of the state of
Minnesota. Protect the game as other
property belonging to the settlers. Let
the settlers sell permits to hunt on
their land or if all resident free
holders in township agree, let the
town clerk issue permits for, say ten
dollars. This money to be turned over
to the county treasurer the same as
other local taxes and to be distributed
in same manner. This will solve the
delinquent land problem in northern
Pine county.
At time when hundreds of thou
sands of our citizens are on the verge
of bankruptcy is no time to talk about
reforestation. When the state goes
into the forest business the taxpayers
pay the cost and upkeep. The crooked
politicians get the soft jobs and tim
Der, but the taxpayers get the cuss-
ings, the slashings, and the stumps.
Abolish all state veterinarians and
permit the cattle to regain their
health. Prosecute the veterinarians
who willfully and maliciously peddle
the lie that pasteurizing doesn't kill
T. B. germs. This is being done to
try to cripple our butter market.
Abolish all state inspectors as:
weed, bus, scale, boiler, free air, etc.
Our local sheriff, his deputies, and
the town marshal can do all necessary
inspecting without extra pay.
Abolish automobile tax and restore
cars to personal tax list for local
taxes. One cent gas tax for state,
one cent for county, and one cent gas
tax for town should be sufficient i'm
provement for hard times like these.
Why pave the roads to drive to the
poor house over or to drive a horse
over? Turn highway officers into
maintainers.
Return all Rural Credit farms taken
over during the last two years to for
mer owners and let payments be re-
sumed two years from the present
to begin where they left off at time of
foreclosure. Give two years extension
on all present state loans. Rorrow
money on thirty years time to pay
bondholders' interest.
Make it illegal for a finance corpO-
ration to call loans without five years
notice.

ONE OF GODS CAMPAIGNERS
By Frederick Nj. Eliot.
Minister of Unity Church.
lin the st. Paul Daily NewS)


Tin the ST. Paul Daily News)
When Dr. Longstreet Taylor died
week ago Minnesota lost one of her
most useful citizens. For half a cent
ury. ever since the day he was gradu-
ated from the medical school, DR..
Taylor devoted the full energies of a
singularly gifted and fruitful life to
the cause of wiping out the scOurge
of tuberculosis; and there is probably
no village in Minnesota today small
person whose life has been saved and
transformed by the results, direct or
indirect, of his work. In the Larger
towns and cities, they are numbered
by the score and by the hundreds.
And for all time to come the people
of this state will continue to reap the
benefits of his wise and far-sighted
policies in the field of public health.
Such life of single-minded devO-
ton to human welfare constitutes the
best possible answer to those who
would have us believe that our mod
ern civilization is dominated by sell
fish and materialistic motives, not
only by virtue of its own inherent
quality of self-forgetting service but
also because of the response which it
awakenS in the hearts of great multi
tudes of much less gifted people. Ii
DR.. Taylor was the commanding Of
ticer in the campaign against tuber-
culosis, there were literally thousands
of men and women in all parts OF the
state who gladly and eagerly followed
| his leadership and carried out the
details of the plan of campaign which
he had conceived. Without such an
army behind him, even DR.. Taylor's
| skillful direction would have been UNI
able to produce the results he de-
sired.
His leadership and the response
which it elected, reveal the basic
idealism of our ordinary human ma
ture. There is nothing in all the
world so thrilling as the warfare
against the great enemies of human
rise up and answer the call to enlist
in that warfare is the clearest evil
dence of their essential rightminded-
ness. Let the bugle sound the note of
challenge to any of the great foes of
mankind, and the response is as GER
tain as the rising of the sun when
night is over.
But just now it is the special power
of a great leader that fills our minds
and hearts. The loss of such leader
seems for the moment irreparable,
and we do we'll to recall how much
we owe to him. Nobody who knew
DR.. Taylor can doubt for moment
what he would have us do. Without
wasting a single moment in grieving
or repining, he would have us turn
at once and with redOubled energy to
the work which he had to leave un-
finished. Thus his power of leader
ship will continue undated by the
interruption we call death.

The seaworthiness of ship and
the seamanShip of its crew are proven
not in fair weather but in a raging
storm, when the beams and timbers
are strained between the cargo and
the crashing seas. when the spars bend
and the canvass stretch under the
driving force of the sleet and the
wind. And so it is with man. One
can easily smile and be satisfied if
everything is coming his way but it
is in times of adversely that he is
given trial. That trial, however,
times and that is not as it should be-.

Bureau work, and l will admit that
locally and also in the county they
have probably not done what they
should do. What is the reason?
Simply lack of funds. But on the
other hand, state and nationally, l
don't know of any organization that
ever has or ever will do more for us
farmers than the Farm Bureau. |
could fill whole page of the Amer
lean with the benefits of this organi-
cation to us farmers and the country
as whole. as what benefits the farm
err does us all good. s'st r.
Some one has said that Pine county
should have been left to the Indians
and wolves. Maybe so, but now that we
are here, why not make the best
of it? And the best is cooperation.
AS it seems that us older people have
made fizzle of it, and cannot coop
crate, | am in hopes that the young
people through the All Club work
will learn the true value of co-opera-
ton. 1t is only through cooperation
that we farmers will ever be able to
attract attention and help ourselves
out of the rut.
In regard to expecting an appropria-
tion of $500 from the county, we
should know that this cannot be done
as long as we elect men to office who
are so utterly opposed to the welfare
OF Pine county and its citizens. Yes,
they want to save us extra taxation,
N In
own case it would amount to 81 cents
extra tax. If this was the only time
the commissioners voted against the
best interests of Pine county l would
forgive them, but some of them have
at all times shown to be against all
cooperative movements that would
have been a benefit to the people Of
Pine county as a whole.
1t has been suggested to hold
countrywide taxpayers and voters
meetings during the winter. l wonder
if we can't accomplish as much by
Askov American, and here goes shot
No. 1:
Is it really the saving and on ac-
count of economy that the county
commissioners are voting against
helping the extension work constant
ly? l say it is not. If it was, l can
point to several instances where they
could save enough to cover it.
For instance, the county engineer.
He is off duty quite a spell during
' uhn no 70 ifor
encampment And what about these
long winter months up here in this
neck of the woods, what keeps him
busy to warrant a $4,000 salary? If
$1,000 was cut off his salary and ap-
piled on extension work l am sure
the county as a whole would have
1000 more benefit from it.
Shot No 9: Mileage. Last winter
the state legislature passed a bill for
&c mileage. But this would not pre-
vent Pine county from going on 5
cents a mile, and l defy anyone to
prove it cannot be done. This would
amount to quite a saving. l don't
believe that on the average Pine
county officials are getting too large
salaries, but there are instances as
| said, and others l will probably
mention later.
In conclusion | like to say to
Hjalmar Petersen: Go to it on the
income tax, there is a lot Of work to
be done before it will carry as the
opposition is strong. But / can't
understand how any farmer can be
opposed to it, l think this is the
major issue in the state at present
and should be pushed.
Yours for a better future for Pine
county.

One of the important remedies is
to levy an inheritance tax which will
virtually wipe out the Millionaire
class, yet leave a sufficient exemption
to the family of the deceased. This
would prevent some families from
amassing huge fortunes by piling
them up through the generations, and
would relieve the poor and middle
classes from great deal of the tax
burden.
