Added Leisure Time Should
be Used In Building up Self
So SAID w. E.. Boie, St. Paul,
Speaking at Finlayson-Askov
Creamery Picnic. !.

The joint picnic of the Finlayson
and Askov cooperative creameries
held on the shores of Pine lake last
Thursday afternoon was we'll attended
and was happy affair. The weather
was ideal and good sized crowd
gathered to enjoy the days festivities
of music, singing and speaking. c. L.
Smith of the Finlayson creamery
board, introduced the speakers and
announced the program.
Herman Berg, chairman of District
No. 2 of the Land OLakes Creameries,
Inc, said that cooperation cuts the
cost of distribution and, carried to
its ultimate goal, will give just re-
ward for labor and products. Farm
ers sometimes pass up the co-opera-
tive creamery and sell at the cream
station because they get cash there,
though the price is less. If all would
deliver to the cooperative creamery
it would reduce the overhead ex-
penses.
w. e Boie, credit manager of the
Land O'Lakes, who spoke in place OF
John Brandt, the president, in quot
ing from the inaugural address of
President Roosevelt, said that where
there is no vision people perish
Drawing a visionary picture Mr.. Boie
said that one of the safest signs points
in the direction of cooperation, not
only for the farmer but for every
body else. Cooperation is now get
ting the front page of the newspapers.
We have lived under the competitive
system, the heart of which is profit
making; the general welfare is not
the real concern.
Mr.. Boie went on to state that the

Attorney General and AS
sistant Explain Mortgage
Moratorium Law.

A large crowd from southern Pine
county and some folks from various
communities out over the county at
tended the meeting held in the Pine
Camp Pavilion on Cross lake near
Pine City Monday evening when the
state mortgage moratorium law was
explained by Attorney General Harry
H. Peterson and a member of his
staff, Assistant Attorney General VIM.
S. Erwin. The speakers were intro
duced by Attorney S. G. L. Roberts of
Pine City.
Mr.. Erwin who was county attorney
of Pine county IA years ago, in speak
ing to his former home audience, said
that the attorney general had not pur-
sued policy of watchful waiting but
had plunged right into the work on
his assuming leadership of the states
legal department on January first, by
advocating and taking definite stand
in the enactment of the state income
tax law, the chain store tax, mort
gage moratorium act, and is now
working for the lowering of telephone
rates.
The mortgage moratorium law is
legislation that effects a large por-
tion of our people, said Mr.. Erwin.
Mortgages were rushing in and FORE
closing, in many cases wiping out the
savings of lifetime, folks were los
ing farms and homes. 1t had reached
almost a calamity and something had
to be done or a much greater per-
centage of tenancy would have re-
suited.
North Dakota also passed a mort
gage moratorium act but it was de-
clared unconstitutional by the courts,
being too drastic. No court would
have upheld the North Dakota act,
declared the assistant attorney gen.
eral. The Minnesota law was upheld
for it was fair and was very carefully
drawn, many minds having worked
on it. Comparisons were made with
other state laws and past court de-
cisions dating back in history we're
looked into.
First Move Was Executive Order.
Early in the 1888 legislative session
Governor Floyd B. Olson gave out an
executive order stopping up to May 1,
1888, all sheriffs from conducting
sales of mortgaged real estate prop
erty that was being foreclosed. Sher-
ifs were put on the spot by many
who claimed that it would be a breach
of contract and could not legally be
carried out. The executive order was
backed by a legislative act to the
same effect. Mandamus proceedings
were commenced in the Ramsey coun-

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDvOLD

This week it is nineteen years since
the European great powers declared
war against each other, thus starting
what is yet thought to be the d1rest
of all catastrophes that have ever
been visited upon mankind.
Certain events of the last few days
tempt one into retrospective mood,
for, practically everything that hap
pens now is a rather direct result
of the World War.
Mussolini, dictator of Italy, attained
his fiftieth year the other day; his
regime became possible as a result
of the chaos which reigned in his
country in the years Immediately fol-
lowing the war.
Hitler, dictator of Germany, this
week rounded out his first half year
as chancellor; without the World War,
he would have been unthinkable in
the position of autocrat of a great
nation.
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, is carrying into effect certain
drastic orders for the purpose OF re-
organizing social and economic life
in his country, now very slowly re-
cuperating from a dizzy crisis which,
too, can be traced back to the World
war.
Russia, emerging from the most ex-
IRENE stage of a revolution that was
precipitated by the World war, is
cementing its friendship with various
nations-within these last few days
with Spain which has now recognized
the Soviet government.
Government by the Peoples
Take these four world powers
Italy, Germany, Russia and the United
States-and look at their present-day
government forms; it is quite obvious
that there is an abundance of SINH
larity, especially concerning the fact
that Mussolini, Hitler, Stain and
Roosevelt insist their power has been
given them by their respective ma
tional legislative assemblies, and
that, therefore, this is really and
truly government by the people
Dictatorship is word with an ugly
sound, and is generally disliked, but
while names may be discarded, the
facts remain.
Mussolini, Hitler, Stain and Roose-
welt make their sensational moves on
the strength of popular approval, as
registered through elective bodies
There is, however, a good deal of diff
ference. between the methods EN-.
ployed, and, at least, we in this coun-
try prefer to think that ours is the
