be taken up "as soon as possible" he
said. In the case of dairy products,
some progress has already been made in
the case of the Chicago area fluid milk
market. A trade agreement covering
prices paid to farmers for milk and the
price to be charged consumers has been
under discussion.
A majority of manufacturers OF con-
densed milk already have worked out
an agreement and put it into effect
under which the price to Wisconsin
farmers was increased Is cents per
hundredweight with an increase in the
price of the finished product.
Trade agreements will be free from
prohibitions of the antitrust laws when
they have been approved by Wallace.
He has authority to enforce them by
requiring that all professors obtain
licenses. Those who will not agree to
the terms of the agreement can be re-
fused licenses and fined 1000 per day
Of operation without them.
Wallace made it clear he does not ex-
pect wonders overnight from the farm
act. He said he intends to proceed
gradually and carefully in its admins
tration and in selecting men to carry
out its provisions.
1T is important in setting up an or
ganization like this that We do not go
of half f-cocked," he said. We do not
want to select men We might later re-

possible method to raise prices if neces-
Sary.
AT the commodity meetings we will
bring together all those who are inter-
ested in a given commodity and at

sible. I want to get the picture OF

KEECH ASKS ACTION
ON UTILITIES PLAN
Seeks Legislation Limiting
Court Reviews of Orders
to Legal Questions.

Enactment by Congress during the
present session of proposal that court
reviews of the orders of the District
Public Utilities Commission be limited
to questions of law was urged by Rich
mond B. .Keech, peoples counsel, in q
letter received yesterday by Representa-
tive Black, chairman Of the Public
Utilities Subcommittee of the House
District Committee.
Keech asked that this amendment
to the utilities law be considered as a
separate proposition rather than as
part of a group of proposals, so as to
expedite its consideration by Congress.
From the public viewpoint, Keech
declared, enactment of this proposal
at an early date is OF extreme i'm
portance since the commission now Is
engaged in revaluations of several local
utilities.
Amendments Studied.
He points out that George E. Sullivan,
chairman of the Law and Legislation
Committee of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations, already has pro-
posed such a measure.
The Public Utilities Commission now
IS studying the draft OF amendments 10
the utilities act, one of which covers
the same objective It is expected these
suggested changes will be forwarded to
Congress next week.
In supporting the principle OF the
proposed change in the court review
section of the act, Keech pointed out
the purpose would be to make the
commissions findings of fact conclusive,
when supported by substantial evidence.
REGULATIONS in Progress.
The need for early enactment of such
legislation is self-evident, he declared,
in view of the fact the commission
now is engaged in revaluations OF the
properties of the Washington Railway
g. Electric Co., the Capital Traction Co.,
Washington Rapid Transit Co. and the
two gas companies.
Keech anticipated that unless the
proposed legislation is enacted, the order
of the commission as to the valuation
of the gas company properties would be
taken to court, If past experience IS
guide.
THE practical effect of this is that
all the facts are viewed twice, and the
Judgment of a single justice, OF neces-
sity not a specialist in the utility fleld
is substituted for that of body spe-
cially fitted for the purpose"

North Dakota, the party walked down

master and finally Mike Cassidy, the
section boss. Mr.. Hill picked brand
new spike out of the gravel, and as
he handed it back to the vice presi-

case of carelessness which would have
to be explained. The spike was passed
back down the line from official to
official until it reached the rOadmas

BUILDS CONFIDENCE

A few years ago it was next to a
crime to suggest a guarantee of bank
deposits. Back in 1926 the Askov
American advocated bank guarantee
law in a number of articles-appar-
emily much to the displeasure of bank
ers. Now we have it in national
way in the Glass-Steagall bank re-
form act enacted by the recent session
of Congress. Many folks have come
around to the view of the necessity of
bank deposit guarantee. And can we
blame them when they have been
burned so severely? Newspapers are
also falling in line. The Bemidji
Pioneer gives the following express
sion:
Various reforms in the banking
laws may be suggested, the system
of yesterday may be vigorously con-
demned, but sufficient guarantee of
deposits is the thing that is needed
to secure the confidence of the public
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1933-07-06

on farm loans, secured by first mort
cages, to insurance companies, mort
gage companies, and private individ-
uals. Think of 77a interest on a
farm mortgage! 1t is entirely out of
line, the farmer can't make it. and
such interest rates should not exist.
During a few of his best years, while
he is young and energetic and works
like horse, and during good times
with good crops and high prices the
farmer can pay the IN per cent, but
he is not always young and in his
best years, nor is the crop always
good and the prices high. We must
go by the average. Over a period
of 20 years figures will readily prove
that 71a per cent interest rates are
impossible for the farmer.
The wealthy-those who have
plenty-will stick to the high interest
rates as long as they can, but they
must be taken down from their high
horse. In the meantime if the farm
er cannot get loan with first mort
gage on his farm at interest rates of
less than TX per cent he may as we'll
pass up the loan for he can't make
it anyway.

NO SIGNATURE-NO EFFECT

The new mayor of Minneapolis,
Buzz" cambridge. evidently cares
as little for unsigned letters as the
average newspaper man. In fact UNI
signed letters coming to the mayors
office will be entirely ignored-just a
waste of time for the sender who gen.
orally is ignorant of the Ineffective
ness of unsigned letters. or else a
coward.
"If you're afraid, to sign your letter
don't send it"
That was one of the first formal
statements issued from the office of
Mayor cambridge Monday. 1t was is
sued by George E. Guise, the mayors
secretary. Secretary Guise, news
paperman, explained further:
Every letter that comes in will be
opened. We are going to glance at
the bottom first for a signature. If
there is no signature the letter won't
be read. l learned lot about tossing
paper into the wastebaSket in my
newspaper experience, and, I'm going
to take advantage of that experience
with anonymous letters. Those are
the mayors orders"
Anonymous letters which precipi-
tated prohibition raids gave the An
derson administration some embar-

preceding administration. says the

THE EDUCATED MAN

In view of much recent discussion
of the attributes of an educated man,
ten points laid down by Albert Edward
Wiggam, author and lecturer, are in
teresting. They are as follows:
He keeps his mind open on every
question until the evidence is all in.
He always listens to the man who
knows.
He never laughs at new ideas.
He crOss-examines his day-dreams.
He knows his strong point and
plays it.
He knows the value of good habits
and how to form them.
He knows when to think and when
to call in an expert to think for him.
You can't sell him magic.
He lives a forward-looking, outward
looking life.
He cultivates love of the beauti-
full.

GET A GOOD OUTLOOK
Ladies Home JOurnaD

Last summer thousands of people
went to see a solar phenomenon the
like of which many of them had never
viewed before. 1t was a typical hOli-
day crowd. and as they stood on the
hilltOps there was no trace of fear
in their attitude toward this rare
spectacle. Presently a strange dark
ness covered that part of the earth
where they stood. They were awed,
but it was an awe unmiXed with ter
ror, because they knew that in few
moments the darkness would pass,
and light would return.
Without fear we can stand on a
hilltop to see the sun blotted out.
Why is it, then, that we tremble in
the face Of events which have &C.
Cured again and again, and from
which We have emerged successfully
for His children has been demon
strated so often that instead of grOvel-
ing with fear when the darkness of a
depression appears, we should go up
on hilltop where we can better see
the corona of hope.
Spiritual laws differ in their GER
tainty from the physical only in the
fact that mans cooperation is in
volved. And when men recover bet
ter faith in the future, better belief
in Gods destiny for mankind, and a
better appreciation of the part each
man must play, we shall see the sun
emerge again. God stands behind the
shadows, and fear shall vanish like
the darkness.

HAD IT'S INNING

If it is not the first time 1t hap
pened it is a rare occasion that a
dog holds up baseball game in the
American Association for five min
utes. That is what took place in the
second inning when Minneapolis and
St. Paul played at Nicollet park In
the Mill City Monday. And the an
imal was a brown-haired little dog
with body like wiener. A sports
writer of the Minneapolis Tribune
reports that the dog 'came out OF the
contest with score of two bites to
nothing" Babe CAMEL, Miller third
baseman, was the victim, receiving
decorations on two fingers of the left
hand which sent him to a hospital
for treatment.
To think that a little dog could
keep we'll paid professional baseball
players from performing, send one OF
them to a hospital, and keep hundreds
of fans waiting, it is rather amusing
to read the report of the episode in
the Tribune which follows:
Minneapolis was at bat in the in
ming with the score in it's favor when
the dog dropped onto the playing field
in leap from the boxes along the
first base line.
while Umpire Zinnie Clayton wav-
ed majestic hand to no avail, the
dog began a circuit of the bases, yap-
ping his delight as St. Paul players
joined the chase. Out toward center
field the dog trotted, where st. Pauls
center fielder, Jess Hill, and right
fielder, Ray Radcliffe, tried to halt
him. Two park workers Joined in,
but the dog headed for the infield
again with the game halted in earn
est.
I'm the meantime a group of Miller
players had formed a plan of combat.
Five of them lined up shoulder-to-
shoulder in the dogs path, presenting
united front and waiting for the
attack The dog came, and as he
approached, CAMEL dived at him head
first.
THE Miller third baseman came up
with sharp teeth clinging to two
fingers on his left hand. Camel was
taken out of the game and given
treatment by Doc Bowman, Miller
trainer. Later Camel was treated at
hospital
