placed on the same plane. Going on
Mr.. Roberts said that the last two
administrations "have been leading
us to chaos and anarchy Too much
of the primitive, too much like the
law of the iungles. We can't go on
with $50 of the people owning 500
of the wealth. There must be control
and restraint"
They say: I'VE must not interfere
with private business" The speaker
went on to tell about the $150,OOO, 900
investment in Muscle Shoals which
should be used to help agriculture
with fertilizer and electric power at
low rates as an outstanding example
to the rest of the country. 1t is the
beast instinct of acQuisitiveness. Did
the last two administrations hold
those men and their evil practices
up to scorn as did Theodore Roose-
welt? asked the speaker.
Men are jailed for passing counter
felt money said the speaker, but the
international bankers have passed on
billions in bonds and securities to
smaller banks to swell their re-
sources. They have not been called.
No! That would interfere with pri-
vate business" said the speaker. And
he added it would interfere with
rugged individualism' and "indi-
vidual initiative There must be
law and restraint against the issuing
of spurious securities, said Mr.. Rob-
erts, and concluded by saying that Il
am radical and we must be ruthless
in behalf of the masses and against
the predatory interests in combina-
tiOns and finance"

MEETING OPPOSES wARDENs

About twenty men attended a meet
ing in the Askov Assembly hall Mon
day afternoon and heard the game
situation discussed by Harry Hen
bricks Of Danforth township, Ernest
Holler of Cloverton, and others. The
meeting was called to order by Lud-
Wig Mosbak who acted as chairman.
After saying few words about the
purpose of the meeting Mr.. MOsbek
called on Mr.. Hendricks who spoke
at length on how the idea of the pro-
posed refuge was started and what it
would mean to the settlers within and
near its boundaries. Mr.. Hendricks
started his address with prayer. He
brought out that the game feeding
on a persons land should belong to
that person and not to the state. II
the state is to own the game then 1t
should be retained in a fence or pay
damages to the farmers when their
crops are damaged by it. The meet
ing's sentiment was against the pres
ent game and fish system and more
in favor of a county council to handle
and fishing permits and IL
censes. Ernest Holler next spoke and
voiced his sentiments against the
game wardens.
A committee was chosen to repre-
sent this section and to work toward
the formation of an association which
might later be called. pine County
Taxpayers Home Protective Associa-
ton" Those on this committee are,
Fred Olesen, o. r. Keller and Ludwig
Mosbak.

The five year average yield, taken
in connection with the average farm
price received for the period, gives a
gross income that is less than the
operating cost. The operating cost is
found to be 1860 of the income.

Marguerite Breen, educational direc-
tor of the association also spoke.

DR.. Meyerding stressed the import
ance of Christmas Seal work during
days of depression, and urged the
teachers to help push the sale.
Tuberculosis booms in hard times"
he said. THE need to find and pre-
vent tuberculosis is greater this year
than ever before. A rise in the tuber-
culosis death rate is to be expected
as result of lower standards of liv-
ing unless Christmas Seals can carry
on their work"

Sciences two magic eyes, the Man

man cannot see," he said. They
bring to light early, unsupported cases
of tuberculosis. They save thousands
of lives each year by detecting slight
danger signs in time for preventive
measures to be taken.
DR.. Meyerding then explained how
the doctor makes a slight scratch on

called tuberculin can be applied to.

days later, he examines the arm to
see if slight red spot has appeared.

This does not always mean active

the chest x-rayed to find if any dam
age has been done. But every child
who reacted positively should be con-
sidered potential victim"
The Christmas Seal was called
depression-proof commodity by Miss
Breen, who described the advantages
brought through the seal to rural
school children.
1.-The public recognizes it is essen
tial to continue our humanitarian
campaign to save lives from tuber-
culosis,' she said, in outlining plans
for the coming sale.
Thirteen of the largest cities in
the United States showed an increase
in tuberculosis last year. This is said
to be one of the first widespread evil

Miss Breen stressed the Importance
of protecting school children from

Liked the Farmers.

Liked the Farmers.
Mr.. Nelson said that the Farmers
Union and other farm organizations
had asked square deal of Congress,
and were especially interested in the
Frazier bill for refinancing farm
loans at a rate of interest of 1h%
and payments on the amortization
plan of 12%. The farmers also
asked for adoption of the Thomas cost
of production bill, the Wheeler silver
bill, and the Patman soldiers bonus
bill. Not any of this legislation was
passed. Only two of the Minnesota
congressman voted for the farmers
Christgau and Kvale-said the speak
er. The other congressman just told
the farmers they liked them.
while am for lowering the
taxes" said Mr.. Nelson, that will
not save agriculture, but cost Of pro-
ductiOn will" He went on to say
that there are many fixed charges in
the taxes such as bonds and interest
that cannot be lowered.
Mr.. Nelson said that the money
system must be changed and went
on to tell of how the power to issue
currency was delegated to the ma
tional banks many years ago and later
in 1913 the power of money was dele
gated to the federal reserve board
for it was not so easy to control all
the banks. In 1914 the international
bankers started to tie up things.
There was four billions in circulation
at the time and three billions were
added. With the seven billions in
currency Fl billions of Liberty bonds
were brought. Those rubes out in
the West had to be Debated" was
the command. Bankers were obliged
to collect on notes and that caused
the general depression of 1920.
Hundreds of business men are in
on this holiday movement, said the
speaker. The farmers cause is their
cause. 1t is an economic revolution,
but force is not wanted. In the state
OF North Dakota $4,000 farmers out
of 1900 have lost their farms through
iioi ISoSC III CCloouIc S uuIlHS Tie last
ten years. In April of this year the
farmers commodity dollar was worth
&c; there must be 1000 dollar for
all people. If an embargo was placed
things would soon be Strengthened out
The fight must go on, said the speak
er, for the fight will be bigger to hold
and maintain what will be gained in
this strike.
Roberts Demands Change.
Mr.. Roberts, man we'll up in years
and who unlike many folks that be-
come more conservative with years,
is growing more radical and wants
to get at the bottom of the economic
evils that beset the country. He
voiced his deep rooted sentiments in
no uncertain terms at the Pine City
meeting.
The county seat attorney said there
can be no prosperity with industry
getting protection and fixed prices,
and agriculture getting what is Of

prices received by farmers on June
18th. 1882, must be increased on an
average 356.3% to give the farmer
cost of production.
Can't Live on Promises.
In his talk before the Pine county
gathering Monday afternoon Mr.. Dun
bar said that farmers cannot keep on
without getting the cost of production
on what they have to sell. They can't
keep going on promises, and I'VE have
been getting that since l was a boy.
One man told the truth in his cam
paign four years ago. He said the
farmers would get relief and he has
relieved the farmers of what they
have" Mr.. Dunbar also added that
the men who are unfolding and boost
ing the president who holds the high
est office within the gift of the people
and who has held that nearly four
years, are the same fellows who are
blaming the governor here for running
the state in less than two years.
The crowd was asked how many
were satisfied with present farm COM
modify prices. No reply and no hands
went up When asked if they were
dissatisfied there was spontaneous
reply with hands reaching for the
ceiling.
Mr.. Dunbar said it matters little if
you are a grocer, hardware man,
banker or any kind of business man
in these rural communities, all should
be interested in the farmers holiday
movement. The retailers have ex-
tended credit as far as they can and
they are all hurt if the farmers do
not have buying power. Governor Oh
son of Minnesota, was the outstanding
official at the governors recent con-
ference in Sioux City where the farm
strike was discussed. He is in SYM
pathy with the farmers movement,
said the speaker, and knows their
needs.
Must Start With Farmer.
1t is not the farmers who have put
the 100000 people out of work, con-

have closed down and have gone
on strike. Andrew Mellon will not
loosen up on his billions of dollars.
Schools have been closed on account
of tax delinquency. Farmers can
again pay taxes and other bills when
they get cost of production. The
farmer must get help first, it must
start there to help everybody.
The people who still have work and
positions have buying power. Let
them pay cost of production on farm
products and the farmers will feed
the starving, said the speaker. The
farmer now gets 90c for six bushels
of potatoes. 1t would be far better to
sell three bushels at $3.50 and give
three bushels to the needy. The farm
err would be better off.
President Hoover and Henry Ford
had a conference, said the speaker.
They were very sorry that they could
not do anything and so decided that
