!. What are the means and arguments
used by such against the AskOv Credit
Union?
One means used is to discourage by
the use of opinion such as, 1.-THE
credit union idea will not work in
rural town like AskOv." Or, THE
credit union will hinder the possible
reopening of bank" Or, None
will entrust their money to the credit
union.'
Such opinion arguments unsupport-
ed by facts are all that | have heard
and they prove only that persons
opinion. 1t is therefore necessary to
consider other reasons why individu-
ais might be opposed to credit union
here Is the person offering such
statements opposed to cO-operatives
and aiming to prevent their spread?
Or has he present interest with
which the credit union might inter-
fere? Or has the person a hope of
possible future control or advantage
| i'm starting a new bank or branch
bank with which he believes the
credit union will compete? Or does
the person honestly believe credit
union may hinder the re-establish-
ment of bank i'm AskOv? Or is the
person merely an echo?
| These and similar questions nat
urally arise upon hearing such opinion
arguments in opposition. Personally
| | can see no reason why a credit
union i'm operation will not be dis
tinct community asset with or with
out bank. The opposition to i. leads
me therefore to suspect ''nigger in
the woodpile-''
Let us consider the merits of these
arguments. Will credit union work?
They originated in Germany and have
functiOned in farming communities
there They have proven successful
in country towns in the United States
Is there any special reason why Askov
should be a black sheep among all
the white ones? If privately owned
bank can take savings and make loans
a credit union should be trusted to
do so equally we'll with these factors
adding to its safety, that all deposit
tors are shareholders and all borrow
ers are shareholders ALI are mem
bers and have voice in its manage
ment; there is nothing mysterious
about it. A credit union cannot be
used to finance a FRIEND nor tC
finance pet projects of shareholders
or directors. For these and many
other reasons credit unions have beer
successful where banks have failed
Nor will a credit union hinder the
establishment of bank in AskOv
If it might | am sure the membership
would gladly vote a dissolution wheI
and if there is a definite prospect o
getting community owned bank. ant
if the credit union would interior,
with re-opening such a bank. RICH
here let me point out the inconSist
ency of arguments used by opponent
: of the credit union. have heard tn,
same man state that the credit uniOl
won't amount to a snap of the finger,
and also, 1T will hinder the reopen
ing of the bank" Will someone eX
plain how an unsuccessful credi
union could hinder the establishment
of a bank?
Let us examine this argument. AID
mittedIy a bank will not reopen il
ASkOv for several months at best
/ even though sufficient capital wer
: available to comply with legal re
quirements. Another bank will no
be permitted unless assured of enOug

N THE PUBLIC INTEREST

Under present econ mic conditions
OF the country. the subject or puplic
ownership Of public utilities has ccme
TO the front for debate much more
than i'm previous years. Public own
ershlp of public utilities has proven
very successful in many places ana
even in conservative communities III
this state as well as other states num-
erous municipal light and power
plants operate successfully to the ben
eft of all the citizens.
When folks w,rk for the pubic
their salaries are. of course, ana as
they should be. matter OF puDllc
record. but the fact that the public
is unwilling to pay the same price Tor
experienced. competent and efhcleht
help. as does the private employer, Is
one reason for some public ownership
projects not faring so we'll or efhcl-
emily as some individually owned con-
Germs. There must be trust and cen
fidence placed in public officials ana
folks so employed should take a pride
in that confidence and trust. The
hest men in the land should be work
ing for the public, but often it is
otherwise.
Take, for instance. as an example
the Minnesota Tax Commission.
There are three members of that
board and the salary is $4,000 to each.
IL is naturally assumed that they
must be tax experts, authority on
those problems and honest and above
reproach When big tax rate cases
are heard before the tax commission
the corporations involved engage the
best legal talent. The able attorneys
arguing the case for the mining COM
panies, lumber interests, railroads, OF
whatever interests are concerned, are
paid two, three, or four times the
salaries received by members Of the
tax commission that are pitted against
the sharp private interest attorneys.
If the public always had the best
available legal talent, where thai
talent is required and the best eX'
pertS i'm other lines of endeayOr, there
would not be anywhere near the in
centive for private individuals anC
corporations to spend huge sums o.
money in legal battles in an effort tt
combat and win over the state.
If public utilities generally were
government owned, it would provide
for a much better system of dividin:
up time of employment between th'
employed and unemployed in times
such as we are now going through
Public ownership of public utilize
would also, to a great extent, taxi
graft out of politics. Time, effort
and expense is involved and oftel
successful with politicians in lining
them up on the side of special in
terests when such bills come befor
legislative bodies, and such bills con
front every lawmaking body at ever
session. There is no intention her
to infer that there are not many hon
est and sincere lawmakers but Their
are usually enough members in mos
lawmaking bodies that can be swaye
one way or another-members VIII
take the path of least resistance O
who become easy prey to the specia
interests. In public ownership, how
ever, the public must have the bes
men available in order that it ma
be successful.

STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER

Editor Askov American:
The following article is not in
tended as an answer to what Mr..
Mosb@k wrote in these columns
last week. Gov. Olson is in much
better position to answer that let
ter if he sees fit, than l am.
The following article is meant
as an inquiry into the New Deal
for the Forgotten Man" which is
now beginning to take form.
When our new president started
off his administration by closing
all the banks rejoiced and hoped
that real leader had come upon
us. When Gov. Olson declared,
''For CONSUMPTION of Wealth and
Government operation of key in
dustries if necessary to bring
about relief" and when the Gov
ernor further stated that depres-
sion was caused by the fact that
our social and economic institu-
tions were built on foundation
of Quicksand, l was convinced
that at last we would get down to
bedrock and begin building from
solid foundation. In my estima-
ton Gov. Olson has stuck to his
guns while the President has gone
about in very resOlute manner In
doing nothing whatsoever for the
forgotten man.
