SAVING ON THE AGED
Mile Laos County TimeS)

We heard a man say the other day
that he did not believe in an old age
pension, because it would add to the
taxpayers burdens. Some people seem
to think that money can be saved by
mistreating the aged and infirm and
not giving them the treatment due to
human beings. 1t is strange that this
cruel idea should persist after 1000
years of preaching of the Christian
doctrine of the brotherhood of man.
Even if money could be saved by
herding the poor into poorhouses in
stead of providing them with the
means of living their lives in a nor
NAL and self respectful manner we
would still be against the barbarous
idea. But as a matter of fact little
if anything is ever saved by such
treatment of the poor and aged. Civ
ing them a pension is only recognize
ing their service to mankind in their
days of youth, and they are entitled
to it as a matter of justice. They are
as much entitled to it as the veterans
of any other service to our country.
Humanity is awakening to the bar
barism of the care of our unemployed,
destitute, and aged, by treating them

A HELPING HAND

Looking for work and securing it
are two different things in these days
of depression. However, even the
darkest clouds have a silver lining
now and then which is attested in
the following associated press dis
patch from Detroit under date of
May 3:
1.-The depression lifted just little
Tuesday for the Eversons. They re-
ceived a check for 500 from a De-
troit business man who said he con-
sidered the automobile trip made by
Mrs. Everson and her nine children
from Kelliher, Mimi, to Detroit an
epic comparable to the covered wagon
tricks of pioneer days. Mrs. Everson
who is SO, her nine children and the
dog arrived here Sunday to join the
husband and father who had hitch
hiked to Detroit to find job that
proved to be nonresident"

COULD BE USED BETTER

Associated press dispatches report
ed the other day that a dog was
buried at Tiffin, Ohio, at a cost of
$1,000. Frank Callahan, wealthy
owner of race horses, ordered scores
of floral pieces for the rites. The
dog was placed in a $500 bronze cas-
ket and workmen built a concrete
vault. Later a granite monument will
be erected.
This is just another reason against
the Capitalization of wealth. If any
one should criticise the wealthy dog
owner for spending money lavishly
On the animal they would likely be
told that it was not their money that
was being spent and furthermore none
of their business. Money often leads
to arrogance and autocracy. When
there are children starving it should
be the business of others if any one
is spending $1,000 on a dog funeral.

FOR INCOME TAX AND
FRAZIER BILL
Editor ASkOv American:

Editor AskOv American:
The American farmer has been hit
very hard blow by this depression
and must get some form of relief if he
is to survive. A State Income Tax will
do much to lower the tax on our farms,
and should have the support of all
farmers, workers and small mer-
chants. Another piece of good legis-
latiOn necessary to save the homes
of thousands of farmers is the Fra
zier Re-financing bill, this bill had
the unanimous support of all dele
gates to the State Farmer-Labor con-
ventiOn. Five State Legislatures have
passed resolutions memorializing Con-
gress to enact the Frazier bill into
law. Farmers owe so much that they
can not pay the present high rates of
interest and taxes. The Midwest
States are fast becoming the larg-
est landhOlders in America. In the
last few years, through tax sales,
W,OOO,OOOO acres of land have be-
come the property of dozen states.
The Frazier bill provides for re-fi-
nancing farmers on a basis of ~
per cent interest and IL per cent
payment on principal each year. a
total of per cent per year. If the
Frazier bill becomes a law, it means
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1932-05-05

a reduction of total interest paid by
farmers of at least 100000 per
year. Even though farmers were get
ting cost of production they could not
pay their debts at the present high
rates of interest, which means the
Frazier bill is vital to the economic
life of agriculture.
The Frazier bill has in its pro-
vision for the government issuing
money to loan to farmers to pay off
their present Indebtedness. 1t is esti-
mated it would require three or four
billion dollars to re-finance those
farmers who would make application.
Everybody there in Washington, from
the president down, now admits there
is not enough money in circulation
to do the business of the country.
Every bill passed in this session of
congress has provisions for increas-
ing the volume of currency, but on a
basis of paying interest to bankers,
which means increased taxes on the
12O,OOO,OOO common people of the
country
The Frazier bill provides for gov
eminent money instead of bankers
money. 1t will be a source of reve-
nue. to the extent of ~ per cent to
the government and thus will reduce
the taxes of us 12O,OOO,OOO common
people.

SEED LOANS RELIEF FOR MANY
Editor Askov Americana:

Editor Askov American:
The capitalist is relieved from shop
ping for safe place to invest his
surplus capital. Relieved from the
worry of collecting. And relieved
from his fear that the enormous sur
plus of capital will eventually de-
stroy high rates of interest. The
bankers and businessmen in farming
districts are relieved on just that
much security on old loans and ac-
counts.
The ex-servicemen are relieved of
being the only body fallen victim to
the government, high rates of inter-
est. And the farmer, well in this in
stance he was made the goat, never
the-less he will be relieved of some
hard earned money.
The whole affair conforms so nice
ly with relief legislation passed dur
ing this session of congress
how it slips by congress, by senate
and our Honorable President gives
'em his me too
To the best of my knowledge all this
relief business is directed by the same
person who gave Europe such gener-
Gus treatment by reducing principal,
extending time and making the bal
ance at an extremely low rate of in
terest
In the face of the largest surplus
of staple crops we have ever had, do
you find any just cause in making
loans? In considering the drought
stricken districts it appears to be
neither aid nor charity. Our govern
ment borrowing the money at go and
then charging the farmers more than
double that amount besides depriving
local bankers and businessmen of that
much security on old accounts
The farmers are no longer con-
Sidered safe place to loan money
The local banker is no longer consid-
cred in making loans in the way that
we have been accustomed to, hence
it's made through the government, and
we will all be called upon to secure
the loans. Don't know how you feel
about it but feel as if we have been
victimized once more.

CORRECT ASSESSMENTS
ESSENTIAL

Taxpayers of Pine cOunty-farm
and village alike-have an OppOrtun-
ity during this month to aid in i'm
proving tax conditions. This is the
time when the local assessor will be
making the evaluation of personal
property. real estate, and exempt real
estate. 1t is a fundamental to equit-
able distribution of the general prop
erty tax burden that the original val
uation should be right, and that it
should compare favorably with SINH
lar property in neighbOring assess
ment districts. The local assessor is
the key man in the picture. He has
an extremely difficult task. and an
unpopular one, as we'll. The friendly
cooperation of every citizen will not
only help to make the work of con-
scientious and earnest public officials
easier-but it will react to the benefit
of each one who shares in the bus
mess of paying the costs of govern
ment.

mayor of that city Tuesday with a
substantial majority vote over Mayor
Gerhard j. Bundle who has held the
office but one term. Mr.. Mahoney is
an able fearless man who is out to
clean up on the racketeers of the city
and is the type of man who accom-
plishes what he sets out to do. He
was a candidate for mayor of st. Paul
in 1920 and in 1922 but lost out in
those elections. With William A. An
derson as mayor of Minneapolis,
elected to that position a year ago.
and now Editor MahOney as the chief
executive of st. Paul, both of the
Twin Cities have mayors elected with

SOME DANGERS IN ATHLETICS
(NOrthfield NewS)

That athletes do as satisfactory
scholastic work as the average of the
student body; that athletics do not
occupy too important place in stu
dent life; and that as far as the
general student body is concerned
the Importance of athletics is not
over-emphasized, are among the more
important revelations made by the
special committee which has investi-
gated intercollegiate athletics for the
faculty at the University of Wiscon-
sin.
There is also a less favorable side
to the picture. Attempting to deter
mine the attitude of the competing
athlete, the committee held inter
views with large number of ath-
letes. From these interviews, the
committee learned that football, and
to considerably less degree, basket
ball, have become Over-mechanized;
that the individual initiative of the
player is depressed by over-cOaching
and an excessive specialization of
function; that practice is habitually
furnishing drudgery, and that the
game itself is played often under con-
ditiOns of excessive strain and excite
ment. One of the gravest abuses in
intercollegiate athletics lies in the
efforts made to attract and to retain
in our colleges and universities ath-
letes of unusual ability, the commit
tee declares.
Under the strenuous rivalry exist
ing between universities and colleges,
and under the pressure of the general
public which demands a winner or a
change of coaches, the temptation to
violate rules and to introduce doubt
full practices is almost irresistible.
While it is to be expected that alum
nj and others will urge school boy
athletes to attend the institution to
which the former give their allie
glance, when such athletes virtually
offer their services to the highest
bidder, and when schools engage in
campaigns to attract young athletes
of promise, the situation seems for
eign to amateur sport and anomalous
in an educational institution.
Indeed, under such conditions,
coaches become not teachers and lead
ers of youth in competitive games,
but promoters whose success depends
on the talent they are able to attract
| to their institutions. The teams are
| composed, not of representative stu
dents engaging in athletic sport as 4
recreation, but of semi-professional
| performers. InterschOlastic athletics
instead of providing the pleasure and
thrill of competition that is based on
the love of the game, become, with
these factors present, a much less de-
sirable and beneficial activity 1t is
for these reasons that rigid adher-
ence to amateur standards are abso-
lutely necessary.

Mile Laos County Times: Reducing
taxes and expenses of government is
very desirable. But it is long way
from the promises of politicians to
the actual reduction of taxes. When
old line politicians who have been in
control of our government for many
years without reducing taxes, sud-
denly discover that taxes can be re-
duced you can be sure it is not from
love of doing something for the peo-
pie. They are just getting scared
over loss of political control that's
all. The opposition to the
soldiers bonus by generals, colonies,
and others who held the highly paid
jobs during the world war doesn't
mean much of anything. These men
made money out of the war, and are
sitting pretty" so they can afford to

..sHORN LAMBS"

In this weeks issue OF Current
Events, a school publication. is
told in simple language, some
thing about the operation of stock
exchanges, the bulls, the bears.
short selling, shorn lambs, etc.,
now Investigated by the senate. 2
1t tells in an understanding man.
ner how people are fleeced when
they buy stocks upon which they
have gained little information and
after reading the article one nat
urally gathers that the stock ex-
change is only better name for
gambling. The article follows:
A Senate Investigating committee
has gone cunning for the bulls and
the bears of the New York Stock Ex-
change Those animals" are the big
traders on the exchange. The bulls
buy stocks in the belief that prices
will rise and they will thus be able
to make profit. The bears sell
stocks short in the belief that prices
will fall and thus they will make a
profit.
Selling short means that the trad
ers do not own the shares of stock
when the sales are made. They make
their profits if they can buy the
stocks at lower figure than the SELL
ing price when it comes time to de-
liver the shares to their buyers.
The Senate is trying to find out
whether or not the big bulls and the
big bears play fair with the public.
Already much evidence has been pre-
sented to the committee which shows
that they do ont play fair. Last week,
Representative La Guardia, of New
York City, appeared before the COM
mittee. He submitted carceled checks
letters, and other documents which
seemed to show that financial writer's
for newspapers had received large
sums for writing favorable reports
about certain stocks which caused the
prices to rise. Then, after the big
traders had sold out at a profit, the
prices fell
Sometimes several big traders COM
bine to form a pool. They con-
tribute millions of dollars to this pool.
The money is used to buy shares of
stock of a certain corporation which
are selling at a low price. AS the
buying continues the price begins to
rise and the public begins to buy.
The price shoots steadily upward.
When the price reaches the point
agreed upon by the members of the
pool they sell their shares at a big
profit. That causes the price to drop
with bang. People who have bought
shares at the high price are the
losers. They are the "shorn lambs. .
Sometimes the members of a pool lose
too. They cannot always force the
price upward no ma ter how many
shares of stock they buy. Then. if
the price drops, they are left with a
large block of stock on their hands.
If they sell at the low price they must
take loss.
There is a strong suspicion that
the bears, working together, can
force down the prices of stocks to
much lower figures than they are
really worth, by selling short. Some
persons believe that laws should be
passed to prohibit, or at least greatly
limit short selling" pools and
other practices on the stock and grain
exchanges of the country.

Mile Laos County Times: An ex-
change points out that one way to
reduce taxes is to do your trading at
home. The more people buy at home.
the more business institutions there
will be in your town to help bear the
tax load. And a study of the tax list
in Milaca will show you that our
business places do carry a big tax
load. The less you trade in your
home town, the less business places
to carry the load, and the more you
will have to shoulder in order to
support your community activities.
1t is as simple as the multiplication
table.

something might happen that would
