FOR MORE ECONOMY

Editor AskOv American:
Oscar w. Anderson says in your last
issue that not so long ago he could
have agreed with Mr. MOsbak about
lowering salaries. but not now.
l differ altogether in that view with
Mr.. Anderson. Three years ago when
our farm product prices started to
drop more than usual | certainly was
in hope that as long as we farmers
have not brains enough to sell our
own products and ask cost of pro-
duction price for what We sell, that
our representatives or servants that
we hire or elect to look after our well
fare were foresighted enough to see
that if the foundation was falling
down it would not do much good to re-
pair the roof. If something would
have been done three years ago to
hold farm product prices up certain
ly would not boiler about lowering
salaries or wages but as things now
stand we are three years behind in
cutting. If you hire a man now, Mr..
Anderson, do you pay him $50 or $50
a month? Or if just for a few days,
do you pay from So to S. day?
The tiller of the soil pays nearly
all taxes, direct or indirect; how can
we pay when we get nothing to pay

county officials to cut salaries and

THE AIRSHIP CRASH

4 terrible disaster shook modern
aviation and naval bulwarks Tuesday
morning when the giant dirigible,
Akron, crashed into the ocean. taking
with it II lives of the most gallant
of the naval air service, including the
head of the Bureau of AerOnauticS.
The crash of this, the Ian est of all
ligther-than-air craft remands US
back to that fatal day in 1912 when
the Titanic, new wonder floating
palace thought to be unsuitable went
10 its watery grave in the North At
lantic taking with it 1,517 lives. Ii
was a comparatively new step III
ocean travel as is the modern giant
dirigible in air travel and many lives
are endangered and even sacrificed in
the progress of an inventive age.
The Akron disaster, coming on the
heels so to speak, of the fate Of other
similar ships such as the Inflated
British R-101, the French dirigible
Dixmude and in this country the She
nandoah, and the Roma, would almost
cause one to wonder if after all. such
an airship is worth the cost and risk
of its existence.
However, there is one example in
favor of this type of airship in the
German Graf Zeppelin. This ship has
roamed the earth from pole 70 pole
almost and seems, with its nouchal-
liant crossings Of the ocean, 20 be the
ideal way of future long distance
travel But it seems that all such
craft are not destined to be under so
lucky star.
At any rate while there may be in
xestigations following this most re-
cent disaster, it is not thought that
the building of this type OF airship
will be discontinued, but rather that
each succeeding crash of its kind will
lead on to greater sterilization Of the
construction and advancement in the
mechanical equipment Man has con-
uuered the surface of the earth and
his conquest of underneath the surf
ace and above is net ended.

BOND OR NOT TO BOND

Editor Askov American:
Next Saturday the voters of Kettle
River township will have a chance to
decide whether to bond the township
or not. At first thought most every
one shudders at the word, bonding,
but coming right down to the point;
why not? There is no getting around
it, that the township is in debt for
back orders and interest in round
numbers $500 and $500 on deposit
with the County Board to meet the
gas tax money total $4,000 and the
bond issue calls for $780,, so any
body can see the propaganda spread
that the board is trying to raise about
$1,000 more than needed. is without
foundation.
The case is similar to we farmers
trying to get a lower interest on our
debt, so why should not the township?
Is it not easier to pay 40 interest
than 6. 1t might be said the town
ship should not have gone into debt;
neither should we farmers, but that is
something of the past now, and it is
to get out of it, the easiest way we
can. And one way is to pay lower
interest, which can be done by bond
ing, so do not listen to the false

structiOn. That could not be done
then as it was against the Law, last
winter that law must have changed
in 1881 there was still too many pay
ing their taxes.
In this township we have been cut
ting down expense, but l am sure
that more taxes are levied in ArlOQe
township to be paid now than Last
year, and the few that do pay Will
pay more and. more until we are all
done. Is that good, government?

Of Kettle River at the usual voting

SHIPPING SPURT
 BRINGS BOOM TO PACIFIC COAST
Increased Activity Due to Fruit Crop Shortage
 in Europe

San Francisco, Dec 2-Spurts in export shipping for the past several weeks are creating a small boom in Pacific coast exporting and ship ping circles, according to weekly comment on far western business by the Bank of America (Califor- nia). The increased activity is att tributed to a shortage of domestic fruit crops in Europe and bounty wheat" movements of the Pacific northwest, as well as a depreciated dollar.
 Oriental freights consist mainly of rough cargoes such as cotton, scrapirOn, wheat and lumber. A boom in European fruit shipments, so pronounced as to have resulted in rejection of substantial cargoes, because of capacity loads, is led by record demands for refrigerated apples. Oregon and Washington are supplying the major portion of apple shipments from stocks on hand, with California apples con- tributing somewhat to the move- ment.
 Wheat and flour exports from the Pacific northwest for November are expected to exceed the record shipment of 5000 busheIA in Oc- tober, a total which will surpass in two months all shipments for the entire cereal year of 1882.

part vitality and velocity to our bil- lions of bank deposits. In a prim- tive society where the sole medium of exchange is currency, the vol- ume of the circulating medium Is of maximum importance. Under the modern American banking methods where 90 per cent of the business of the country is carried on by means of checks against de- posits, the health of our economic system Is measured by. the velocity Of their circulation.
 The total bank deposits of the nation to-day are in excess of $42.- 00O, 1000, 900. At present we have not at our command the figures on the circulation velocity of total bank deposits. However, informa- ton regarding the member banks of leading cities is quite definite on this point. Tn 1929, these deposits were approximately $20,O00.000,O00 and the rate of turnover was about f0rty-five times, or the equivalent of approximately $935,OO0, ,0OO, o co. In 1892, this velocity had dropped to about IT to 1 with an aggregate turnover of $322.000, 100000. Obvi- ously the government presses would have to turn out unsecured paper money in astronomical pro- portions to equal the efficiency of velocity in the circulation of our bank deposits when recovery gives the stimulus to turnover.
