fers three remedies for his forgotten
man. One is workmen's cOmpensa
ton, another is old age pensions. the
third is unemployment insurance.
Minnesota and most western states
have had workmens compensation for
years, we now have old, age pensions
in all counties that want that system,
and unemployment insurance merely
means more taxes on the farmers
back to support the unemployed in
the city. No farmer working from
ten to eighteen hours a day would
ever qualify as unemployed. This
kind of insurance is in effect in Au
stralia and New Zealand and both
countries are broke, as many idle men
draw more than working men can
earn. The Roosevelt program for the
forgotten man holds no new hope for
the man who depends upon the farm
for his living.

BIGGER CIRCULATION,
INFLUENCE EXPANDS

The Askov American is now print
ing total of 1900 copies weekly-a
national record for a weekly news
paper in a community of its size.
That the paper is also read and
quoted by many other newspapermen
is further attested by a letter from
Editor H. M. Wheelock of Fergus
Falls, dated Oct. "a, 1882. Editor
Wheelock, in requesting exchange ar
rangements with the American writes
as follows:
81 should very much value an ex-
change with the Askov American, al
though l am afraid 1 cannot decently
offer you value received in my paper,
the Fergus Falls Tribune. However.
l. too, contribute a number of ex-
change copies with those whose paper
is of little value to me, and perhaps
you also have the same fraternal
spirit.
Copy of the American with Rob-
ert Bells address in it, received this
forenoon, is what prompts me to the
request, which l have often before
thought Of making. With fraternal
regards,
H. M. Wheelock."

RARE ROAD LEADS TO
MANHATTAN ISLAND

One of the worlds most amaz-
ing. yet practical, highway struc-
lures according to a recent high
way bulletin, is being rushed to
completion between Jersey City,
N. j., and Manhattan Island. 1t
is the elevated super-highway lead
ing to the entranceway of the Hol-
land Tunnel which connects New
Jersey and Manhattan Island.
Skipping across three miles of Jer-
sey meadows, the giant structure
will permit the covering of dis
lance in five minutes which now
requires anywhere from 20 min
utes upward, depending on how
often bridges go up and the dis
position of traffic lights.
The concrete travelway, sus-
pended from 100 to $50 feet in the
air. crosses the Passiac and Hack
ensack rivers, railroad tracks and
yards, and highways. 1t will
greatly reduce the tedium of get
ting in and out of the cOngested
New York area. Eighteen million
cars yearly are expected to flow
over the specially designed con-
crete pavement on the viaduct.

MILL CITY AUTHOR
ON VISIT IN ASKOV

The Honorable Elias Rachie of Min
neapolis, who is the author of several
books, was a caller in Askov at the
American office Tuesday. Two of his
books on economics, THE Seven Rich
States and Seventeen Keys to Free
DOM" have been endorsed by many
leading men of the northwest,
amongst them the late w. w. Folwell,
former president of the University of
Minnesota.
While in Askov Mr. Rachie an
nounced that he will speak over the
radio-WRHM-on Friday evening,
Oct. 2Sth, commencing at 7 o'clock
He speaks in behalf of Governor
Olson.
Mr.. Rachie is now working on
new book which will have the title of
Americas Heart and Soul" While
his writings run mostly to prose, he
has nevertheless shown in his latest
book of Seventeen Keys to Freedom
that his thoughts are also along the
lines of poetry. These beautiful lines
are taken from that book:
Give me home in the country
Where ! may live nearer to God.
Tired of the shams of the city,
l long for the beautiful sod
Where nature still reigns in glory
And man is yet true to the story
That goodness and truth and beauty
Are the essence of life and duty.
Give me Gods own revelation
In birds, lilies and sacred hooks.
Tired of the crowds adulation.
long for fields, forests and brooks,
Where nature still reigns in Il ry
And man is yet true to the story
That goodness and truth and beauty
Are the essence of life and duty.

MERGERS CUT COST
OF RURAL SCHOOLS
Average Rural School Costs Amount
to $1,000 Per School Term,
Tax Official States.

In Minnesota last year, there were
500 rural ungraded schools with en-
rOllments below ten pupils. There
were 1884 districts having between
ten and nineteen pupils. There were
lis districts employing two teachers
that had an enrolment of less than
40 pupils to the school. Summing il
all UP, it is found that about $500 one
and two-teacher schools had fewer
than twenty pupils per teacher en-
plOyed, it was pointed out in sur
vey taken by the Minnesota Taxpayers
Association, according to Norman A.
Bergen, secretary.
"A normally competent teacher can
instruct effectively thirty pupils. In
many districts, the number of pupils
is far below this. Statistics indicate
that the normal cost for a nine-month
ungraded school should be about $1,000
per year, where there is one teacher
On this basis, an average attendance
of 80 pupils would make the per-pupil
cost $40 per year or 81 pupils would
average $57 per pupil. Many schools
have from six to a dozen students.
Six students brings the per pupil cost
up to 5000 per pupil. Therefore, the
matter of cutting school taxes in
small rural districts, revolves itself
into a matter of merging several of
these small districts" Mr.. Bergen
stated.
THE state law under which mer-
gers are effected gives school boards
the right to close their own district
schools, and to make arrangements
for the education of their children in
nearby districts, to which they may
be transported at district expense, and
at the same time continue their own
district organization. Since the same
total of state aid and apportionment
would be enjoyed by the merged
school, the result would be a reduc-
ton in local school taxes proportion
ately greater even than the reduction
in total cost. This is one way to
reduce school expenses in small rural
districts, and is a plan worthy of the
consideration of any district" Mr.
Bergen said.

EXPRESSES APPRECIATION

J. S. Jones of ST. Paul, secretary
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, an active writer and speaker
for the state income tax, and secre-
tary of the Minnesota Income Tax
Committee, the voluntary body to
further the campaign for the adoption
of the constitutional amendment ON
Nov. Sth, writes in a letter dated
Oct 81, 1882, and addressed to HAL
mar Petersen, as follows:
''The fight of the opposition to the
income tax amendment submitted by
the last legislature, of which you
were a member, to the people for
want an income tax in Minnesota or
not, is growing in intensity as the
time for the people to cast this de-
cisiOn is close at hand.
Il want to assure you of my very
thorough appreciation of the splen-
did efforts put forth by yourself and
the publication you edit, the Askov
American, since the adjournment of
the legislature in behalf of the
amendment. Had it not been for this
kind of support on the part of many
of the country papers of this state,
it is quite likely that Amendment
No. 1, the income tax amendment,
would have received but little at
tentiOn from the opposition.
Again thanking you for your splen-
did work in behalf of the amendment,
| am
Yours very truly,
J. S. JONES'"

Mile Laos County Times: What we
see going on in this country in re-
gard to the serious condition of the
farmers is a wOrld-Old story. 1t is
the same old system that finally re-
suits in forcing the tiller of the soil
off from the land as an Independent
freehOlder, and returns him to the
land as tenant. 1t is history re-
of the old European peasant system
in the United States unless the farm
ers refuse to agree to such a system
of exploitation.

It's a Privilege.

why beg a member to stay by his
co-operative?" asks The Wheat Grow
ers Journal. "The farmer who joins
a marketing association is not doing
a favor to the officers and directors
of the organization-he is doing a
favor to himself.
Cooperation must be the farmers
religion. He must walk by faith. He
cannot always see a benefit in dollars
and cents, because private traders
will often be forced up to the CO.
operative price and the cooperative
service. The cooperating farmer
must understand it is the coop which
makes the private trader pay"

SONG OF FORGOTTEN MEN

Good people all. both young and old,
Take heed that this depression
Was brought about through greed for
gold,
Poor judgment, indiscretion.
The thing most hopeful now in sight
Let voters this remember
Well have a chance to start Alright
When voting next November.
The working man must now depend
Tin getting due attention)
On one who is his promised friend
His name we need not mention.
His honest motives well we know;
While those who do the sneering
Are men of wealth whose riches grow
Through HOover's engineering.
A round peg and hole that's square
Have never yet been mated;
In twenty-eight we tried it fair,
And thus miscalculated.
So having proved no power below
Can make a misfit fitted,
To make the test again would show
That we are but half-witted.
For Roosevelt we'll join the crowd,
And he will be elected;
Prosperity would cry aloud
If he should be rejected.
He sees the greed in unjust laws
And works to have them ended.
We gladly join the righteous cause
That he has recommended.
Should G. o. P.'s continued reign
Keep grinding rich mems axes,
God help the men with modest homes
Who cannot pay their taxes.
The same old greedy tricks of wealth
Would grow more rank than ever;
The G. o. P. will never see
The under-dog-no, never.

OPINION OF OTHERS
Continued from Page ~
NO, NO HENRY

Editor Askov American:
1t i'll behooves Henry Ford to at
tempt to tell us as voters how to
vote at this time.
The man, who in the conference,
agreed to hold up and even increase
wages one dollar per day and then
went home and put this in effect by
putting his 5-day week men at $500
per day on a three day a week shift
at 5000 per day, doing the same work
for $500 less per week is scarcely the
man whose advise we care to take.
Furthermore the plan he now has
for some mysterious tinkering with
our currency. If preached by demo-
crat, would be ridiculed to the skies.
The reaction to all this will be in
creased votes for Roosevelt.
