WHERE IS HE!

State political writer's of the old
guard type in the daily newspapers
and elsewhere are having hard time
trying to figure out who to trot out
against Governor Olson in the next
campaign, as they seem to have it
figured out that he will most likely
be a candidate for a third term.
One writer puts it this way:
"Wanted-A Republican candidate
for governor; must be fairly young,
full of ambition and enthusiasm, a
good stump speaker, not too closely
identified with the odd guard prefer
ably service man and of Scandi-
navian extraction
Martin Nelson of Albert Lea, has
been mentioned as a candidate for
governor on the Republican ticket,
and now the names of such men as
Editor Herman Roe of Mortified, and
former State Senator John HOugen Of
Crookston, are being put out as feel
ers. The old guarders of course real
ize that they must have a candidate
with more platform ability than Earle
Brown who was the candidate in 1882.
1t is some task to find a man who has
any chance against Governor Olson
and it makes all those fellows who
would like to have state appointments
feel bad

HIGHWAY REVENUES
DECREASE 1888, 900
New Trunk Routes Added by LegiSla-
ture Not Yet Taken Over by State
for Want of Funds.

Revenues of the State Highway De-
partment from automobile license
fees so far this year total S5,S96, 900
compared with S9,779,OOO in the same
period of 1882, according to a bulle-
tin from the department.
This is a drop of S3,SS3,000 in the
first seven months of 1888. The de-
crease is due to the reductions in
license fees made by the last legisla-
ture.
Last year, at the end of July, 81
per cent of the 1892 license revenues
had been collected. This year, 95 per
cent of the estimated revenues for
1888 have been received. The license
fee collections last year totalled $10,-
055,0OO, while the estimated total this
year is S6,2OO,OOO. Present indica-
tions are that this estimate may
prove somewhat higher than actual
receipts.
From some points in the state
have come inquiries as to why the
Highway Department is not as active
in maintaining certain roads as it
has been in the past" said N. w.
Elsberg, highway commissioner.
The decrease in revenues is the
answer. This decrease is also the
reason why the department has not
yet taken over the 1900 miles of new
routes added to the trunk system by
the last legislature. With reduced
revenues, the highway department
naturally must reduce its activities
and expenditures.

MANY in THE MAKEUP

1t is important that any business,
institution of learning, athletic associ-
alton, or any organization for that
matter, has an able head. And so 1T
is in politics. Leaders are necessary
but there must also be good helpers,
co-operators and workers in the or
ganizatiOn or it will fail. The leader
can not do it alone. He has the ex-
ecutive ability and knows how and
when to make important decisions or
he would not be a leader.
Old guarders in the state give Gov
ernor Olson credit for being a man Of
exceptional ability and leadership, in
fact they would like to make it appear
that if he should withdraw or be re-
moved from the political picture of
the state there would be no Farmer
Labor party. 1t is true that the Farm
er-Labor party would suffer from the
loss of Governor Olson if such should
occur but there are other leaders al
SO, and there are many workers and
co-operatOrs in the ranks or there
would not be such resolutions and
platforms adopted at the biennial con-
ventions.
1t is important that the titular head
of a political party is a man of vision.
courageous man, and man OF
ability as above mentioned, but with
out the many co-operators he could
not accomplish much under demo-
cratic form of government. To init
mate that the Farmer-Labor party
would be lost in the wilderness with
out Governor Olson is only propa-
ganda on the part of the old guarders
to discredit the party. However, there
is no desire ON our part to underesti-
mate the ability of the governor, for
we realize the necessity of having a
man of his character and ability in
the governors chair and as head of a
political party that represents the
public welfare.

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

With improved labor saving ma
chinery making steady advances, in
fact for years way ahead of those who
should arrange for an orderly cO-ordi-
nation of hours of employment be-
tween labor and industry, it is to be
appreciated that the federal govern
ment has now taken hold of things
through the National Industrial Re-
covery Act. Hours of employment are
to be cut, varying in the different
industries, and codes are being drawn
up by the various industries, all UNI
der the direction of General Hugh s.
johnson, the man President Roosevelt
chose to help solve the unemployment
problem.
Years ago men worked - hours i
day in factories, that was cut to II
hours, then 10, later nine hours and
for some years the eight hour day has
been the standard, some industries
making it A hour week with Satur-
day afternoons off. In spite of short
ening the work week more than
enough manufactured articles have
been produced for the needs of the
country due to the advent of the
labor saving machine. In fact each
worker has produced so much more
than his predecessor of % to 80 years
ago that millions of his fellow work.
ers have been thrown out of employ
ment.
The object of the government is to
solve this unemployment problem and
there can be no gainsaying that short
ening the hours of work and dividing
the work amongst more men will help.
1t is a common sense program and the
industrial administrator, General
Johnson, should have the cooperation
Of all citizens in his gigantic task.

THOSE STATEMENTS
Mile Laos County Times)

When a business man receives a
statement from a wholesale house
and he receives many-he sometimes
finds on the statement that unless
paid by certain date a sight draft
will be drawn for the amount due, and
no excuses are offered for sending the
statement. The business man has to
move about and pay up his bill. But
when the business man sends state
ments to those owing him in an Ell
fort to raise money to pay his dis,
what takes place many times? The
person receiving the statement takes
it as an insult and grows exceedingly
hostile. The person who does this
should engage in business and in a
short time he would get over that fool
ishness. The sending out of state
ments and collecting of accounts is
one of the most important parts or
business and those who neglect it will
sooner or later become in bad finan-
cial shape. The first thing that
credit agency requires in a credit
rating for any person in business Is
whether he is energetic in pushing
his collections or not. If he is care
less and does not bill those who owe
him promptly his credit rating will
drop, and his standing lessened with
his creditors.

TO VISIT PAGE PEAT
EXPERIMENTAL FIELD
Grasses for Peat Soils i'm Mile Laos,
Kanabec and Pine Counties, VIII
be Discussed Aug. 10.

Reed canary grass, the new hay
and pasture crop for peat soil, will be
the main feature to be discussed at
the Page peat experimental field on
Aug. 10, under auspices of the Divi-
sion of Soils, University of Minnesota.
This grass was first seeded at Page in
1927 and many plots have been seeded
every year since. 1t can be propa-
gated either by seeding or transplant
ing. After the tour of the plots
clumps of the grass will be given TO
all visitors who wish to try it.
The field is located a quarter of a
mile west of Highway No. IS and ten
miles north of Milaca.
The peat on this experimental field
represents the most difficult and ex-
pensive type to make productive, as
on it all crops fail unless lime or
mari is applied and in addition phos-
phate and potash must be used to Sc
cure satisfactory yields.
Peatland farmers should remember
the danger of frosts, floods, fires, and
the need of fertilizers. Frosts and
floods may damage many crops on
peat. fires may damage all and or
almost every peat bog no satisfactory
crop can be grown without proper fer.
tiliZation.
The program which begins at 2 p
M, Saturday, Aug. 10, will embody the
following: 1. Reed canary grass or
peat soils. 2. Other crops on peal
tour of inspection of plots and pas
| lures.

nearly wrecked his own machine. He
will be more careful in st. Paul next
March.
by his charming personality and
glib tongue, Governor Olson has made
himself the most powerful politician
in the state. There is no use trying
to deny the fact that unless the UNI
foreseen happens, Governor Olson will
keep the Farmer-Labor party in the
clover. and in return he can do with
the party as he wishes.
History, however, repeats itself
with almost mOnotonOus regularity,
and it's pages are filled with the data
concerning hundreds of One-man bands
who suddenly have found themselves
stripped of power, glory and influence,
left with only a hazy memory of the
grand old days.
Governor Olson cannot maintain
his present pace forever. Each year
he exposes the real motives behind
Farmer-Labor Vaccinations to more
and more people. Others have found
that promises butter no bread. De-
partmental irregularities become COM
mon gossip. In addition. the COVER
nor's vitality is not what it was four
years ago. He is reported as being in
i'll health.
"Farmer-Laborites are beginning to
ask themselves what the Farmer
Labor party stands for today. Others
of more practical turn of mind. who
do not care what its political plat
form may be as long as they hold on
to their state jobs, are admitting that
when Governor Olson steps out OF the
picture, the Farmer-Labor party will
go the way of such other political
hybreds as the Populist movement.
This. perhaps is one of the most
important arguments presented to
Governor Olson to prevail upon him
not to be a candidate against Senator
Shipstead. With Governor Olson out
of the gubernatorial race, the Farmer
Labor party has no other eligible can
didate to put forth. Congressman
Lundeen and Magnus Johnson, Lieu
tenant Governor SOlberg, of course
but they have not got the magnetic
platform personality of the suavest
orator in Minnesota for many year
with all these facts becoming more
and more evident every day, there Is
reason to believe that many who have

ocrats see hopes of capturing the bal

figures compiled for the period indi-
cate. This is an increase of $171, 900
over the amount allowed in June, and
shows the way in which an increase
in the number of appraisers is help
ing to make the funds available
For the month, Minnesota leads the
four states in number of loans
granted and in the total volume Of
credit, the figures for the Seventh
Land Bank District being as follows:
Minnesota, 113 loans for S51S,OOO;
North Dakota, AZ loans, $4,000; Wis
consin, IS loans, S32S,OOO; Michigan
n loans. $4,000: total, 276 loans for
a total Of s1,OSO,OOO.
Michigan's smaller quota is due to
the shortage of appraisers in that
state, as Minnesota's and WiscOnsin's
greater portion is due to the larger
force of appraisers in those states.
The increase in appraisal forces was
started by the Farm Credit Admin
istration in Wisconsin to help open
the closed and restricted banks in
that state; and in addition to the reg
ular loans listed above, there were
granted 135 applications of mort
gagors whose paper is held in closed
or restricted banks of Wisconsin for
an additional sum of 100000. This
makes a total for Wisconsin of 220
borrowers, who have had loans
granted totaling S734,O00.
1t is expected that the month of
August will show a big increase in
the number of loans granted and the
volume of credit made available, as
before the end of the month there
will be more than 300 appraisers
working in the four states, and the
force being constantly increased.

TOO MUCH GOSSIP

Editor Askov American:
We are having the novel experience
here of outside parties spreading false
and misleading propaganda, detrl-
mental to our local school, insinuat-
ing that our school will be closed this
fall.
We have in the past had our COM
munity belittled and our enterprises
knocked by various parties, both in
side and outside our community, but
have kind of gotten used to 1t, con-
sidering it as part OF the general
peskiness of human nature, and as
natural pests like mosquitoes and rats,
but when people outside of our school
district begin to horn in on our local
school affairs, we believe it is time
to rise up on our hind feet and strike
back. We would naturally think that
of all public affairs, the business OF
running the local schools should be
left entirely to the people in the dis
trict, without interference by out
siders.
District No. IS, like so many other
school districts in this and other
states, has suffered from the falling
off of revenues and the shrinking
of valuation, but our school board Is
