ASKOV

A masquerade and funfest will be
staged at the Masonic temple in Sand
stone, Friday evening, Jan. 20, to
which everyone is invited. Fritz's
Dance Band will furnish the music.
Don't forget the AskOv PIT. A..
meeting in the school house tomorrow
friday evening. The Rev. A. E.
Frost will be the speaker of the eve
ming. Also business meeting and
lunch as usual.
L. H. Bakken. field man for the
state banking department, who has
been in Askov few days in connec-
ton with the affairs of the First
State Bank of Askov, left Tuesday for
the Twin Cities.
1t is reported that series of meet
ings have been arranged for Feb. }
to with Mr.. and Mrs. r. Dullea OF
Minneapolis, as speakers. The meet
ings will be sponsored by the Askov
Socialist club. Mr.. and Mrs. Dullea
are travelling secretaries of the state
Socialist clubs and their coming to
Askov is anticipated greatly by those
NuO SpCdh uSAoiS AAos
mas Further announcements will be
made later.
Elsewhere in this issue is notice
calling meeting of the depositors OF
the First State Bank of Askov. 1t
was originally intended to have this
meeting Friday evening, but as that
conflicted with the Parent-Teachers
association meeting the date has been
changed to Monday evening. The
meeting will be held in the town hall,
Asksv. at o'clock in the evening,
Monday. So as not to mislead or con-
fuse anyone interested it might be
stated that the sole purpose of the
meeting is to organize a depositors
committee and authorize such COM
mittee to look after the future In
terests of the depositors as well as
other matters that may come up.

facilitate a consolidation of Austrian
and generally Central European po-
sitions.
A recent sustained rise in German
bonds is interpreted as an indication
of beginning recovery in Germany,
and from London reports come that
British trade recovery has already
been under way for some time. Stock
exchange prices have been rising
steadily, and other indications point
ahead toward a slow but steady i'm
provement.
In the meantime, unemployment
figures in most countries remain at
at high level, and while there may
be sporadic improvement in sight, it
cannot be said that any very general
change is taking place. This situa-
ton will of necessity be remedied at
a very slow pace.
A Spiritual Message.
Into a world beset with troubles and
sorrows comes a proclamation from
the head of the Roman Catholic
church: The pope asks all the faith
full to set aside this year as an Eek
traordinary holy year" since it is
assumed to mark the nineteen hun
dreth anniversary of the crucifixion
of Jesus Christ.
His Holiness believes that this
year should be one of prayer, pen.
ance and pilgrimages to Rome, and
that it will lead to social, economic
and political peace; also, he exhorts
the Christian world to turn its mind
away from things earthly and de.
cayed," and not to lose itself in con.
sidering things that are wholly ma
terialistic.
Such message, no matter to wha,
church or denomination people may
choose to belong. has its value, and
may prove inspirational to some o.
the souls forgetting that there are
other ideals in life than those con
nected with the struggle for exist
ence.

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY CONG. JOHN PAUL KvALE

The allotment plan of controlling
markets for farm products did pass
the House, but its friends are not
too greatly overjoyed thereat, for the
reason that the Senate is expected to
shoot the bill full of amendments if
it does permit passage. That leaves
troublesome conference meeting for
representatives of the two Houses, to
reconcile differences between the two
forms of the bill. If they agree and
secure subsequent approval of their
branches of Congress, and the meas
ure goes to the White House, a veto
| is looked for. They do regard action
at this session more in the way of
formal notice of what may be ex-
pected to be done in the next session.
Too, some of the groundwork will
have been disposed of, and action will
be correspondence speeded in the spe-
cial session.
AS written now, the bill provides
for upward adjustments in prices OF
wheat, hogs, cotton, dairy products
rice, tobacco and peanuts. 1t is
strictly temporary in character, 1t
assesses the charge first upon the
professor of each commodity and
leaves to him the problem of whether
to absorb it himself or to pass it on
to the consumer. 1t does give definite
promise of better prices to producers
and for that reason gained the sup
port that put it through the House
with safe margin.
| While it was making this progress
the nformally-organized group which
for want of more appropriate name
is being called the 'open forum" con-
tinued its meetings of the full com
mittee together with the subdivisions
problem. AS result, the group
charged with study of and formula
tion of proposals to correct the none
| tary and credit situation are near tt

will contribute substantially and i'm
mediately to betterment of conditions
of which they are actually aware
One is already agreed on, and is tt
be introduced at once to begin its
legislative journey through the bank
ing committee and to the House.
1t is frankly an expansion bill, de.
signed to bring down the value of the
dollar as outlined in these letters dur
ing the past month and previously
1t will propose issuance of additional
currency until definite level of com
modify prices is reached, the new
money to be adequately backed by
government bonds and an additional
gold reserve. The other measure, as
yet incomplete. contemplates federal
purchases of silver in the open mar.
ket, with the purpose of restoring the
value of that commodity without dis.
turbing the background of our none
tary structure. It's friends insist such
action would have an important eff
feet on other commodity prices
While both bills, even though they
should be passed in both Houses, most
likely would be vetoed. the group is

ASKOV HIGH SCHOOL
NOTES

An audience of unexpected size wit
messed the basketball games between
Askov and Bruno Friday evening in
the high school gym. The Askov girls
led the fray with the highest score
several times during the game, but
the last few minutes brought Bruno
out in advance to greet the gong with
the score of IA to 9 in its favor. The
boys game, however, was branded
with different iron. 1t was fast
and furious struggle for supremacy.
Bruno led in the first quarter with a
score of 5 to 4, but from then on
Askov stayed we'll in advance of its
opponents The final score was II to
IA in favor of the AskOv boys. Both
games were well watched and drew
favorable comments from the Onlook-
ers. Bob Stanchfield of Hinckley. re-
fereed the games. Lunch was served
to the players and officials after the
games.
Friday evening, Jan. 20, is an open
night for Askov and the next Friday
Brook Parks first boys team will play
mere as Will dlSO llc bIOoh al
town team. The remaining home
games in basketball above the afore-
mentioned one, are to be held Friday
evening of February II and "a. The
dates are mentioned now with the
hopes that they may be left open by
other organizations. If possible, they
will be played on the ID. B. S. floor.
where an excellent game of basketball
can be witnessed.
Work on the declamatOry contest
has begun. The students have chosen
their pieces and have begun to learn
them. There are a large number of
students going in for this work and
it is hoped that Askov will have a
good representation at the contest this
year. The sub-district contest will be
held in Hinckley February Is. The
local contest will be held some time
in the week preceding the 18th.
The seniors presented varied pro-
gram Friday, consisting of readings
and musical selections.
The fact that the attendance In
school is back to normal again, in
dictates that the epidemic of flu is
ever.

working determinedly in this in
stance, as with the allotment bill.
with the idea of doing much work
which will not have to be duplicated
in the next session. All who parti-
cipate in these meetings and other
work of the group are deeply i'm
pressed with the vital necessity of
speedy action.
Public Business Made Public.
A series of events is persistently
being recorded which promises to
leave a wide influence, and which
gives encouraging evidence of def
mite policy on the part of the new
administration. One bill after an
other, becoming law, contain or prom
Use to contain provisions in all sane
directions to make public the trans
action of public business, particularly
where financial transactions are in
volved.
This was shown in the adoption by
the House of a resolution forcing pub
licity for details of loaning operations
rof the Reconstruction Finance corpOr-
alton during the first months of its
existence. 1t was shown again in
the move to force light in on the
transactions involved in the refund
ing of large tax payments. 1t is being
shown just now in the effort, led by
Senator Shipstead of Minnesota. to
compel the Secretary of Agriculture
to make accounting to the apprOpri-
ate governmental accounting offices
for the hundreds of millions he has
been personally responsible for SPEND
ing in crop production loans. The
secretary has taken the position that
in this work he is acting as agent
for the r. F. c., and as such does not
have to be accountable to the Comp
troller General of the United States.
Moreover, it will be shown more
prominently and vigorously as soon
as tax bill is brought in. whether
in the special session expected to fol-
low, or in the present session ICON
sidered most unlikely. For there is
, being collected a wealth of data and
evidence designed to show that in
come and estate taxes are unproduc-
tive as they now are largely for the
reason that there is insufficient at
tendant publicity, or right of publ
| city, of the returns that are filed, and
that if this were had, public opinion
and private informants on those who
are now falsifying and evading would
have much to do with swelling rev.
enues into the Treasury. Certainly
it can be stated with secrecy and
| obscurity surround these payments
now, and that the larger taxpayers
have almost unlimited opportunity,
with the assistance of the complex and
involved administrative provisions of
the act understood only by the tax
specialists and taxation lawyers to
make their returns show net in
come far, far below the gross income
Which is just another way of say
ing. after all, that public business
should be public, and that there is
growing realization that if outright
corruption does not follow secrecy in
public business, it certainly is not the
fault of those who make such a course
possible. Sentiment in Congress is
distinctly changing, and when carried
into wider effect, should have salu-
| tary effect on all government.
