the INSCRIPTIONS money changers
stand indicted in the court of public
opinion, rejected by the hearts and
minds of men.
"True, they have tried, but their
efforts have been cast in the pattern
of an OutwOrn tradition. Faced by
failure of credit they have proposed
only the lending of more money.
Stripped of the lure of profit by which
to induce our people to follow their
false leadership they have resorted
to eXhortations, pleading tearfully for
restored confidence. They know only
the rules of generation of self
seekers. They have no vision, and
when there is no vision the people
perish.
THE money changers have fled
from their high seats in the temple
of our civilization. We may now re-
store that temple to the ancient
truths. The measure of the restora-
ton lies in the extent to which we
apply social values more noble than
mere monetary profit
With characteristic frankness, Pres
ident Roosevelt recognizes that the
need of the hour is a banking and
sound currency program to restore
public confidence and permit the ma
tion to move forward. not in its old
faltering stride toward further recess
sions and depressiOns, but in sane,
| orderly fashion. Said the president:
| Finally, in our progress toward a
resumption of work we require two
safeguards against a return of the
evils of the old order; there must be
strict supervision of all banking
and credits and investments: there
must be an end to speculation with
other peoples money, and there must
be provision for an adequate but
sound currency
The announcement in the inaugural
speech that a special session of con
gress will be called at an early date
was expected; President Roosevelt had
indicated weeks ago that such a ses.
sion is essential. TO the new con.
gress, from whose membership have
fortunately been removed some of the
most ultra-reactionaries of recent ma
tional legislative history,-the Smoct
Bingham Moses-Watson crowd, will
be presented the Roosevelt program
There should be no delay, partisan OF
otherwise, in enacting these measures
promptly into law. The signs of the
times call for action. not delay. Pres
ident Roosevelt has unhesitatingly as
sumed the responsibility of leader.
ship. Those who profess the highest
order of patriotism, who believe il
the preservation of the really great
American principle of the creates
good for the greatest number, SHOULD
lend willing cooperation.
That is the way out.-the way to
ward the new deal.

PASSING OF THE LAME DUCKS
minneapolis Starr


The record of the last Lame Duck
Congress is reason enough why there
will never be another.
1t ducked on beer, farm relief, bank
reform, economy, government reOr-
ganization and almost everything it
might have acted on.
1t produced another fine piece of
gold brick legislation in the so-called
Philippine independence act, which
was heralded as agricultural relief
but which will do the dairy farmer
as much good as a forged check on a
closed bank and no more.
To its credit stand approval of the
prohibition repeal amendment, the
grant of power to President Roosevelt
to reorganiZe or abolish federal bu-
reaus and passage of the new bank
ruptcy and debtor relief act.
Lame duck administrations are gone
but after this one they will not soon
be forgotten.

THE FARMERS COVENANT

Editor Askov American:
When the Farmers Covenant had
it's meeting last December in Hinck-
ley, it was decided to have meeting
sometime i'm March, so therefore a
meeting will be held at the Legion
hall in Hinckley Monday, March q,
at 1870 p. IN.
We have no regular members and
it is for everybody to attend and
every township in the county should
be represented.
What resolutions that were passed
on at our last meeting were sent to
the respective office holders. An
swers were had from Senators Ship
stead and Schall. Governor Olson and
Mr. Klavon. president of the Federal
Land Bank, ST. Paul. Take few
hours off and come to the meeting
and help to solve our problems.

CERMAK'S DEATH AVENGED

The state of Florida has avenged
the death of Mayor Anton Cermak of
Chicago, who was killed by Giuseppe
Zangara, an Italian immigrant who
attempted to shoot Franklin d. Roose-
welt, then president-elect. Zangara
was electrocuted Monday morning.
On the face of it, ones first thought
is that it is well that he is out of the
way of society and possibly in his
particular case in the last analysis it
might be well, when it is learned that
he said he would go at the task of
killing the president Immediately if
he were to be turned loose. However,
his disposal might have been just as
permanent if there had been no cap
ital punishment, for he was sentenced
to 80 years for the attempted assas-
sination.
AS far as the example of a death
for death is concerned it is doubtful
if other criminals reading the de-
scription of the electrocution, will
have any great pang of fear. In the
first place it is human nature to be
endowed with a chance-taking atti-
tude or be it gambling instinct"
In this event then, capital punishment
goes for naught and according to sta
tistics, those states that do have cap
ital punishment are infested with just
as much crime and in some cases
more than those who do not.
Therefore an eye for an eye. and
tooth for tooth is not for the solving
Of crime, it seems.

along today if | could have been al
lowed to express my opinion on GER
tain matters contrary to yours and
the opinion of our Minnesota Legis-
lature in sending protest to Presi-
dent Roosevelt against his proposition
TO cut wages Of government employees
and veterans compensation. | am
sorry to see also that Sen. H. Ship
stead and our Farmer-Labor repre-
sentatives voted against President
RooSevelt's proposition.
Please listen a moment! Our gov
eminent employees today can buy
about three times as much Of our
farm products as they could four
years ago, consequently their wages
are three times higher while the
farmer producer and taxpayer pays
the government employees wages by
further bonding and lOaning and not
from actual income or profit.
Take this example from AskOv; we
have two rural mail carriers drawing
about 5000 month q don't know
exactly for three hours work a day
each. Then we have a number OF
farmers who transport our children
to school. putting in more and harder
work than our mail carriers for an

ANSWERS GUSTAFSON
ASkov American:

Editor Askov American:
Mr.. GuStafson, in the last weeks
issue of the Askov American, states
comments on the ridiculous articles.
Mr. Gustafson invited this discussion
through the columns of the paper but
now seems to wish to cease getting
facts down black on white. From the
presentation of his own figures in
paragraph no. 5 in his own letter he
proves that he misunderstood the sit
uation of the loss to the Willow River
school district.
The pupils in your own school can
well comprehend that while this liti-
cation was going on the interest on
$22 ,641.O0 and the interest on the
school orders in escrow which also
were in the thousands was mounting.
Both these items in themselves led
to a considerably higher loss than
you are attempting to make the pub
lie believe.
Yes, l believe that a public exam
liner should be employed to present a
report to the people of this district
which would be mighty enlightening,
and especially in the face of the
attempt, at presentation which you
are trying to make of this case.
The 81 mill tax rate or a total of
| 144.6 mills that the taxpayers are
paying is not ridiculous matter. I'm
fortunately it is tragic to both the
taxpayers and the district as whole
and calls for change and a new deal.

time, and this matter should be more
