Editor AskOv American:
Can it be possible that a community
loyal patriotic, law abiding and hon
orable as Askov has proved itself to
be, has in the course of a year and a
half degenerated to a point where
they need schooling and supreme
guidance in patriotism. Cannot even
imagine, have reason to disbelieve it,
and | do.
True patriotism is not brought
about over night, nor does it decay
over night. 1t is not created by flag
waving and pointing to the constitu-
ton of the U. S. Flag and Consti-
tuition is the sacred property of all the
people. 1t has never been given to
any certain class, cast or party. The
individual, if he so chooses, may
swear to that he will defend and up
hold it, that is his privilege, what
soever his reason may be: but under
no circumstances does he thereby &C
quire any preferred right.
The OutburstS against the peace
meetings need not offend anybody,
provided it is the opinion of an in
dividual; but when it is intimated
that it is on the strength or in name
of some organization it becomes Of
fensive, insulting and seeds ill will
between mankind.
AS an eX-member of the Askov Le-
gion, wish to state that such bigotry
and intolerance did not at that time
represent the attitude of the rank
ton that it does now.
The Legion may have its shortcom-
ings, it's not claimed to be perfect
| do not know of any organization
that iS-nOt even our government.
And well meant criticism may prove
constructive to either one.
We have had naval parleys advo-
eating the destruction of ships already
built or under construction. And in
due time defense leagues asking for
more ships to be built. We have
jerked our booze or whiskey out of the
incidental column of the adult and
parked it in the first column of nee
essities with our youth. We have
filled our prisons to overlooking, and
yet the greatest number of great
crimes go unpublished. None of this
has come around accidental. Until
a solution is found we need a free
press and free speech. Consider this
as my opinion only and don't let any
body try tell you that you are not
intelligent enough to do your own
thinking, form your own opinions and
choose whatever you care to hear. In
the last issue of the American, S. J..
Simonsen of Alaska, gave us plenty to
think about besides a very good warn
ing to beware of false issues preced-
ing election. Let's keep it in mind.

DESTROYING the moral reputation of

destroying the moral reputation Of
your governor. / say to you upon
my honor as a man, the stories are
untrue and l dare them to come out
in the open and submit prosecu-
ton for SANDER"
The governor did not mince words
i'm his denunciation of the type of
hirelings who stOop to whispering
campaigns and who care little about
the reputation of others, in fact will
go so far as to ruin others If it
will gain their goal. The publication
in the February issue of the Mime
sofa Voice, Republican propaganda
sheet, of a story about the pending
Fawcett divorce case, seems to have
been the start of this nefariOus whis-
pering campaign against the states
chief executive After telling about
Governor Olson having spent his last
summer vacation at Breezy Point, the
home of the Fawcetts, the last para
graph of this story especially, was in
sinuating and malicious. 1t reads as
follows:
1.-The Fawcett divorce proceedings
next May will probably have some
bearing on whom the Farmer-LabOr
party will, or whom they will not
nominate for governor in the next
June Primaries"
We leave it to our readers, if an act
of that kind is not STOPPING about as
lnu inn in N att
harm? If they had anything against
the governor they could come out and
say so, but this insinuating is about
as dirty, low down, snake-like as any
one would expect from such who pose
as human beings.
Dwelling on the merits of the State
Rural Credits Bureau the governor
declared that the bureau should con-
tinue to function and that its cOmpeti-
tion with private lenders and banks
loaning money on farm mortgages
has materially reduced the rate Of
interest on farm mortgage loans. He
charged that the Republicans have
looted and squandered the money
of the rural credit bureau and. now
that it is MIXED dry, they want to
liquidate it, The governor also de-
clared that the Frazier bill, now be-
fore congress. would be of material
assistance to the farmers. >
The governor vigorously pledged his
full support to the state income tax
amendment and said he will veto any
income tax bill passed by the legis-
lature which does not make it a re-
placement tax.
Lieutenant Governor Henry Arens
of Jordan. the first real dirt farmer
to ever hold the office of lieutenant
governor in the state of Minnesota,
was chairman of the convention. He
is very popular with folks all over the
state He is a big tall German who
does not get excited and exercised
the duties of chairman with complete
satisfaction to all, intermingling a
little homely humor at times. He was
endorsed unanimously for reelection
as lieutenant governor as was Floyd
B. Olson for the office of governor.
Mr. Arens, in fact, was drafted for the
insisted on his filing for congress in
the Third district He did not state
at the convention what he would do,
but as a candidate for either office
he will attract thousands of votes to
the Fermentation ticket.

ers and working men of Minnesota
to find out what the high ideals" of
the Republicans means. The legis-
lature of 1927 passed a bill to in
crease the state aid to our rural
schools where the farmer and work
men send their children. A Republi-
can governor vetoed the bill, saying
that the farmer was overloaded with
taxes.
Two years later the next session of
the legislature passed a bill to in
crease the salaries of the judges of
the supreme court from twenty-seven
dollars per day, to about thirty dol
lars per day. All state and county
officers receiving from ten to thirty
dollars per day received an increase
in salary, and the same governor for
got all about the farmers taxes but
moved by high Republican ideals
signed this bill which bleeds the tax
payers out of many hundreds of thou
sands of tax dollars annually.
Another sample of Republican high
ideals? A Republican legislature
passed a bill to grant old age pen
sions to farmers and working men,
provided the poor man has no child
rem able to support him. In such
case man can have a pension Of
ST 90 per day. What generosity, what
great ideals, the men who originated
that and voted for that must be proud
OF themselves. Remember, this is the
pension allowed the farmer and the
working man. The pension of the
privileged class reads different.
The judges of the district court
receive pension of one hundred dol
lars per month as long as they live.
The judges of the supreme court re-
ceive S354.13 per month, or about
S4,254 pension per year. These pen
sions are paid by the state. The leg
islatOrs did not leave this to be voted
by the people, as is the case with
the farmers and workingman's pen
sion.
If | may be permitted | wish to
tell the voters of Minnesota what the
great ideals Of the Republicans cost
the voters. | will mention lust a
very few cases.
No. IA judge of the district court
is retired May 16, 1929, but his term
of office expires only Jan 1, 1899, AZ
months and he draws $500 per month.
sci 800 for which no services are rem
dered and after that he will receive
500 per month as long as he lives as
pension.
No. 2-Is retired November Is, 1880,
term expires Jan. 1, 1888. He will
draw $4,000 for which he will render
no service and after that he draws
one hundred dollars per month as long

No. 3-Retired Nov. "a, 1880, term
expires Jan. 1, 1885, 40 months. He
will draw 1880 for which he rem
ders no service. and after that he re-

as long as he lives as a pension.

will draw 1880 for which no Serv-

These are just a few samples Of
Republican ideals.

HIGH IDEALS.
: ASkOV American

Editor Askov American:
The Republican lovefest was held
in st. Paul recently, and they nomi-
mated a millionaire for their candi-
date for governor. This is as it should
be for the Republican and Democra-
tic parties. Both have proved that
they are the parties of the privileged
class. They speak of the high ideals
and statesmanlike administration of
Minnesota by the Republicans.

BREVITY VS.. CLARITY

In the newspaper business it is
always desirable to be brief and TO
the point or in other words not to use
dozen words when one-half dozen
will suffice, but brevity can be carried
to extremes if the following clipping
from an exchange is any example.
Whether this clipping be exaggerated
or not is beside the point, but it, new
ertheless, brings to mind market re-
ports in newspapers and over the ra-
dio. ship logs and many other forms of
statistics. If the compiler of sta
tistics such as mentioned and for
which we use the following illustra-
ton, desires those statistics to be read
and understood by the average layman
then he will have to come down to
earth" and use more simple terms or
at least be more explanatory in tell
ing his meaning.
Following is one form of misunder-
stood copy:
"A government bulletin advising
farmers to study the factors affecting
the price of hogs, has reached George
Mann of the Bismarck Tribune. After
looking it over most of us will agree
with George that the average farmer
is much smarter than the average
newspaper man-if he understands it.
Here is the governments equation of
hog prices: Log Y -O.09443 log X
: -0.15SSS log Y -0.219S6 log Y
