BEING OFF THE
GOLD STANDARD
(BY HANS RASMUSSEN

(BY HANS RASMUSSEN
Many people are fooled bv tee
idea that by the United States dis
cardlng the gold standard it is 20
ing to bring about prosperity and
plenty of mnoey for everybody
Nothing of the kind is going ii,
happen. England and other CONF
tries have tried it without pett;n @
much result from it.
What it does mean is, that the
value of our American dollar j.
mo longer determined by the size
OF a lump of gold stored away 81
some vault. T. means that the
value of our dollar is less now
than 1t was before, now II will
take more dollars to buv thing
than 1t did befroe, in other words
the price of things we buy are go-
ing to be higher, which is not 90
ing to be better for people whc
only have a few dollars,
The value of the dollar is now
determined by the government be-
ing able to meet its obligation thru
taxes and revenues collected. Il
this can't be done, then the govern.
ment can issue more bonds anC
grind out some more money. Every
time this is done it will again
lower the value of the dollar, OF
raise the price on what we buy il
the same proportion.
The going off Of the gold stan
dard means a lot of things. First
1t means that the United States is
getting ready for a keen and DIES.
perate competition on the wor1C
market, where they are going tx
sell American made goods far be.
low what the same goods will be
sold for at home, where the higI
tariff protects a higher price.
This will also mean that the
working people will be paid as few
dollars as possible in order to NEE
the competition on the foreign
markets. The dollar in which they
are paid is going to be a cheaI
dollar with which they can buy
less than before. Their standard
of living is going to be lower thar
before. With plenty of people
looking for jobs, the standard o.
living will be brought down to tn,
very lowest level.
People working for wages am
salaries will be worse off than be
fore. With cheaper dollar farmer
will probably get a little more 70
what they are producing, but tina
will be again offset by payin,
more for everything they buy.
/ Giving the producing class les

about prosperity, but this NOV,

F'alrview, April 23.-The second
annual dental program of ths

full swing under the direction OF
III. ID. +. Tavlih of Fairview. This
GENITAL program is said to be the

SCHOOLS receives without cost a

indicated at the time the dentist
visits any particular school.
The work is made possible thru
the combined efforts of the Fair

sociations. The actual expense Of
materials is betrayed by these two
associations, which also purchased
complete portable dental eouIp-
ment. The work is donated by DR..
Iavlln and requires three weeks TO
complete.
The educational program carried
on In conjunction with this work
is of such a nature that early in
life children of school age are
taught care of the teeth. This
program has brought forth much
favorable comment in the dental
circles in the United States and
many inquiries are received in
tairview asking for details of the
management of the work, all of
which is free, and entails no item
of expense to the taxpayer.

saying that this policy of the
Rural Credits Bureau to protect
the interests of the bankers and
bondholders at the expense of the
farmers and workers of the state
is in contradiction to the promises
of the Farmer Labor party and is
not the proper action by the state
towards one of its own citizens.
The meeting decided to resist
the eviction by mass action, and
to expose the officials who are re-
spOnsible for it to the people of
the state.

TO STOP
MINI. EVICTION
Dispossession of Farmer by
Rural Credits Bureau
Condemned at Meeting
(BY G. d.

Bemidji, Mimi, April 15.-About
ITO farmers and workers OF Bel
trami and Clearwater counties at
tended a mass meeting here in
protest against the dispossession
of Otis -Daigle.
Daigle has paid some $1125 IN
installments to the Rural Credits
Bureau. He has also paid taxes
for eight years, ranging from $40
to s1O6 a year. Last May his farm
was sold under foreclosure and
the land rented to another farm
er. Emil Burswitz who owns and
lives on his own farm, too. Now
the Rural Credits Bureau proposes
to dispossess Daigle after May z
when the redemption expires, thus
robbing Daigle of the savings
of his lifetime.
THE ODDS AGAINST US
We farmers and workers have
known the life struggle of Otis
Daigle, as a farmer from 1920 up
to the present date. We know
that his destiny and ours are the
same and the deal he is getting
we will get in due time, if we al
low it. Life has been a gamble
for us under capitalism. We have
played the game with all the odds
against us. The capitalists have
always held the deck and through
legislative and legal trickery dealt
themselves aces high. A square
deal we have never had and the
Rural Credits Bureau has served
the interests of the capitalist class
well.

CLEVER DRAMAT|Cs
 PRESENTED LAST NIGHT,
 TONIGHT AT SCHOOL

This years first showing of the annual High School Dramatic Contest was presented last evening when the Freshman mirthful play, Not Quite Such a Goose" con- cluded the evenings program of four one-act plays by the four high school classes.
 Prior to commencement of the Junior play Breakfast" the first number on the program, and be- tween shows, those talented local musicians, Nick, Paul and Peter Nekeferoff, executed some of the latest and most popular musical hits on their string instruments. The first class play was directed by Miss Edith Kaemmer.
 The Senior play ''Cabbages" fol- lowed, after an intermiSSiOn dur ing which the stage settings were changed; the direction of this play was by Mrs w. H. Rager, class sponsor, and was a refreshing bit of entertainment.
 "Dave's Baby" the Sophomore play directed by Miss Sylvia Erd- man, was concluded in two scenes after an announcement by Supt. B. H. DeBolt that the audience, after viewing the last of the four of the novel and widely interest ing playlets, would be requested to indicate on the voting ballots pro- vided them, their choice of the best play, best actress, and best actor.
 It is needless to say that the large crowd which saw the initial performance of these young high school thespians was sincerely pleased in every way with the pro- gram offered; the varied sets and properties necessary for each play was we'll chosen, as were the play CTS who so aptly filled the parts all loted to them; and the class dir ectors may rest assured that their work brought gratifying results.
 Tonight, at 8 o'clock in the High School Auditorium, the final pres entation of these plays will be giv- en, the final votes made, and an nouncement of winners made.
