HELPING BIG CRIPPLES

Borrowing money may help for a
time, but all debts must be paid some
time, SOONER or later. Getting the
feet on solid ground and getting down
to fundame ntalS, removing initiation
over-capii aliZatiOn and watered stock
is needed. for neither individuals nor
corporations can borrow themselves
out Of debt.
In this connection the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, just Gre
ated by Congress, is coming in for
some severe criticism. The Sacra
mento Bee attacks this dole for cap
ital." 1t asesrts that the actual mis-
sion Of the r. F.. c. is to give the key
of the nations treasury to the big
bankers and tell them to help them
selves. The r. F.. c. was conceived
down the nations throat by the poll
ticians." declares the Denver Post,
and continues:
1T will have two billion dollars
of the peoples money to lend to I'M
successful railroads, banks, and other
corporation cripples.
mo nation can borrow itself into
prosperity. Neither individuals nor
corporations can borrow themselves
out of debt. The railroads, by OBJ
tanning loans from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, may temporarily
avoid receiverships, but they only
make their financial positions more
untenable because they increase their
Indebtedness.
lone trouble with the railroads now
is they are bonded and watered to
death. They are like bloated steer
and everybody is afraid to puncture
their inflated skins and let out the
gas which is killing them. Making it
easy for them to borrow more hun
dreds of millions will only increase
their initiation and make all the worse
the crash that will come when they
are Debated. They can't go on for
ever, borrowing to pay their debts and
bond interest"

THE FRAZIER FARM BILL

Senator Frazier of North DakO-
TIA, introduced a bill in Congress
on Dec. 9th, that is fundamental
and goes to the root of the farm
er's troubles-the high indebted
ness on the present value of his
farm. The bill has for its pur-
pose that of liquidating and re-
financing agricultural indebted
ness, and to encourage and pro-
mote agriculture, commerce, and
industry. by establishing an eff
ficient credit system, through
which the unjust and unequal
burdens placed upon agriculture,
during the period of price fixing
and deflatiOn, may be lightened,
by providing for the liquidation
and refinancing of farm mort
cages and farm Indebtedness at a
reduced rate of interest through
the Federal farm loan system, the
Federal reserve banking system,
and the postal savings depOs tory
system, and creating a Board of
Agriculture to supervise the same.
The bill has been talked of and
has gotten some publicity, but
should get more and for that rea-
son the Askov American is print
ing it in whole and passing it on
to its readers. Read it, study it,
cut it out and save it, and dis

OFFERS GAME AND FISH PLAN

Editor Askov American:
Just few more words about hunt
ing and fishing. | propose that the
State of Minnesota allow everybody to
hunt and fish free of charge and to
require no license, however to stipu-
late that no fish or game taken may
be sold or shipped out of the state.
This would automatically make ey-
erybOdy an interested game warren,
because it would be backed by COM
mon sense ana popular opinion.
To prevent game from being eradi-
Gated, the State could establish a
few game reserves on state owned
land. | would not worry about season
for fishing or size of fish caught. Our
state fish hatcheries can provide for
restocking our streams and lakes and
make it "a real playground for every
body. In doing so the state could
save the salaries of the game and fish
commissioner and the game wardens
and do away with the deteStable spy
system. This applies just as force
fully to prohibition and revenue Of
ficers.
BY the way, we are few taxpayers

as reported, for certainly it is shame
if folks have to part with hard earned
money, that which has taken them
years to save. Investing in some
thing that the investor knows little
about is always dangerous especially
so far from home and in concern
that handles millions of dollars. In
vestments closer to home with bet
