SANDSTONE GOLFERS
GET SET FOR SEASON

At meeting Monday night of the
board of governors of the Sandstone
Golf club, John Hawley was elected
president, P. E. Robinson, vice presi-
dent and DR.. H. ID. Stokes, secretary
treasurer. r. w. Barstow and James
Tyre are directors. Among other
items taken up for discussion by the
board, it was decided to set the play
ing fees of the course as follows:
Associated membership, SIS; wife of
associated member, S.; nine-hole
game, so cents; card for three games
to be played any time, 81; card for
10 games to be played any time So;
all days play except Sunday, 81.
Much enthusiasm is being shown by
members of the club and some of the
old faithfuls are already taking
swings at an imaginary "repaint" and
wondering if there is going to be any
reduction of strokes from their aver
age score or if they will mount high,
wide and handsome like toy balloon
after it has become disengaged from
a vendor on the carnival ground At
any rate the summers fun looks
bright for Quarry City golfers with
much improved course in prospect.

ASKOV TEACHERS
ARE REELECTED

The school board of district No II
night and reelected the staff of in
lstructors for the school year of 1892
1888. Among other items of business
taken up at the meeting was the set
ting of teachers salaries. After due
discussion and thought by the board
it was decided to reduce the superin-
tendent's salary from $500 to $1710
and the scale of wages to be paid
high school instructors was set at
from Sis to $140. The minimum
grade salary was reduced from $50 to
SIS and the maximum was reduced
from $11O to $95. When the program
planned by the board goes into effect
it will reduce the total annual cost
of running the school between $4,000
to $500.
The proposition of installing a man.

partment in the school was discussed
and it was decided to send question

The fourth class includes all town

neither in the state aid or county aid
class. Only part of the counties have
any county roads which are not in
either of these two classes
Outside the trunk highway system
the 'surfaced' roads are mostly gray
ell, there being only about 40 miles
of paved and 215 miles of bituminous
roads in the secondary systems. In
most cases gravel is adequate for the
traffic they carry.
In former years official reports were
compiled by the Highway department

unofficial reports on other roads by
the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads. A
summary of these reports a year ago
showed 37,317 miles surfaced out of
total of 1865 miles of roads of
all classes.
The new figures still leave Mime
sofa in third place among the states
in total miles of surfaced roads, but
gaining rapidly on the two states, In
diana and Ohio, which have a larger
mileage surfaced.
Most of the improvements on. the
secondary roads in Minnesota have
been made since the trunk highway
plan was adopted in 1920. Since that
time the counties and townships have
been able to spend all their funds,
including the state aid, on secondary
roads. Nearly all the other states re-
quire some local contributions to the
primary roads, ranging all the way
from furnishing right-of-way to doing
the major part of the construction
work and in some cases maintenance
also.

By DR.. E. A. COWLES

1t has been with pleasure that l
cellent newspaper.
1t seems there is an epidemic of
small local issues that has the front
of the stage in every community.
Here in Becker county, local taxes
and cutting of small salaries and low
ering township expenses are the
mighty problems with which our
master minds are graphing to solve
the nations economic difficulties.
The fact that butterfat, eggs, wool,
are selling at one-quarter to one-half
their actual cost to raise and market
doesn't seem to mean anything to the
BIG SHOTS. Their advice is ''cut the
teachers salaries" That is the sOlu-
ton for s cent eggs. Cut out town.
ship improvements and road building
to offset 20 cent butterfat, build no
more bridges Except state highways
and that saving will compensate for
4 cent pork, II cent wool and so cent
wheat, to say nothing of all other
farm crops.
The masters of the flesh pots" are
clever. They raise a smoke screen
and cover up the real issues. Trust
them to do it.
THE REAL ISSUES ARE PRICES
for farm products based on the cost
of production, LOW IN T E R E S T
RATES on farm loans, and TAX
SYSTEM BASED UPON ABILITY TO
PAY.
The local issues are not going to
settle anything permanently, but they
do turn the attention of the people
from the worth while measures and
in that way do more harm than good.
1t seems our master bunco men al
ways find some blind alley to steer
the innocents into, an alley that looks
inviting but leads to nowhere.
]. F. Reed, president of the Mime
sofa Taxpayers Association informs
me by today's mail that the state
has saved eight million dollars in
taxes this year. That of course sounds
fine. And he says further that eight
more millions can be saved through
further economy. / have no doubt
that some money could be saved in
the state highway department by cut
ting overhead expenses.
But that does not solve the farm
er's problems of low prices on farm
products and high interest rates on
farm mort cages nor Mace the hur-
den of taxation on those best able to
pay.
To illustrate: the FRAZIER bill is
very important measure, instead
of its being a saving of eight mil
lions of dollars by doing without that
amount of public improvements each
year, it would, if passed, mean the

passage of state income tax law,
land values would go to where they
properly belong.
But greater than all and more i'm
portant to the farmer and business
man is the THOMAS PRICE STABIL-
IZATION bill. This bill would fix the
prices of staple farm commodities
based on the average cost of produc-
ton on all those products used in the
U. S. for home consumption. The sur
plus would be stored or sold on the
world market for the world price by
liscensed buyers, or held on the farm
for feed. No extra boards, bureaus
or commissions would be necessary
to put this system in operation and
the prices would be fixed for a year.
you would know the price would not
go up or down. Farming would be-
come a business instead of a system
of gambling, with the cards stacked
against the farmer all the time
Stabilized prices for farm products
would not only put the farmer on his
feet, but every one else. including the
food spectators and grain and cotton
gamblers.
Congress is in session. The Frazier
and Thomas bills are before congress

Will move congress and the president
as we'll. THE VOICE OF THE PEG
PIE is THE VOICE OF GOD" which
means that the voice of the people is
not safely ignored Several radio
broadcasts have been made asking the
voters to write their congressman and
senators to support these bills but it
is very difficult to find a voter who
has done so. Have you, Mr.. Reader?
Voters will not write letters but
they will circulate petitions and sign
them. Writing letters to senators is
a big job, signing a petition is easy.
To think of some distant friend to
mail petition to is not hard but very
effective if carried into effect Pub
lie meetings where the above bills can
be thoroughly explained in detail is
not only the most desirable method to
get results but the most effective as
we'll.
A hundred voters men and women
after hearing these bills we'll ex-
planned will not only all sign the petit
tiOns but they will furnish the names
of 200 more men and women to send
petition blanks to who will circulate
them for signatures where they live
In this way the whole country can be
reached with little expense but to the
great benefit of all.
Remember there is a vast differ
ence between an active and deter
mined support of cause and half
hearted or Indifferent attitude by the
people with Congress and the presi-
dent.
If there ever was time that called
for action it would seem it is now.

 He blamed his troubles on the coming of law and order to the Northern wilds, preventing a man from taking the law in his own hands and permitting the country to become overrrun with lawlesS- rsss.- Still he is not soured on Alaska.

FROM ENGLAND ALSO

Frank Swinnerton is represented this week, and so is Catherine Carswell (the slow progress of whose writing will be remembered by all who read the D. H. Law renee letters).
 Swinnerton has to offer "The Georgian House. one of the surest and most effective of all his novels. Like his contemporaries, he rather overvaluas the atmospheric value of the English scene, and unlike some Of them he knows definitely when he has built up the desired effect, whether of tragedy, comedy or irony. Then he stops. It being the thing to furnish maps with novels, nowadays, Gwinnerton has provid- ed an amusing one of his mythical Sanderford.
 Mrs. Carswell knew Lawrence from 1914 to his death, and unlike the majority of his friends stuck by him through that period. She calls her book 'sFhe, Savage sPil- grimage, a Narrative of D. H. Law renee" and for one who wishes to fill the chinks between the recently published letters of Lawrence, the work is valuable. M
 Mrs Carsweil got much from Lawrence in the way of philosophy literary criticism also, for that ! matter. In return she was able te ease a little that abysmal loneli- ness that Lawrence both hated and courted.
