TERSELY TOLD

Editor Fay Cravens as usual hits
the nail on the head with the follow
ing pertinent remarks in his Mile
Laos County Times: 1t is reported
that Tom Davis and Tom Schall have
had a falling out, and Davis is going
to run against Schall for U. S. sena-
tor when the time comes. Ringling's
circus will be out of luck if it visits
Minnesota during that campaign .....
When the state highway patrol was
organized it was organized by and
for Republicans. All of the jobs were
given to good party men. And Of
course, now that the administration
has changed merely being a Republic
can doesn't help that kind of office
holders to retain their jobs. -. d.
opportunity is knocking" say the
Democrats. Opportunity for knocking
is what the Republicans want.

PROFIT AND COOPERATION
(The Cooperative Builder)

AS long as the profit system exists
it means that a body of parasites are
maintained at the expense of those
who render socially useful and neces-
sary service to society.
And it is parasitism from which we
are today suffering. The private pro-
fit system must be superseded by a
system of cooperation, in which mu-
tual service is the motive actuating
human activity. In all business which
is now considered competitive con-
sumers' cooperation must occupy the
field, doing for themselves through
voluntary association those things
which are now done for us by private
profit business, and for which the
price paid is being measured in hun
ger, homelessness, and misery, by mil
lions of men, women, and children,
and by anxiety and fear for the future
by hundreds of thousands of other hui
man beings who so far have not been
driven to the extremity of actual want.
AS far as government is concerned
let it take over those activities which
are naturally monopolistic and con-
duct them in the same manner, that

HAVE COMMON INTERESTS

We are not hearing so much any
more against the uniting CT farm
ers and workers for their common
interests, unless it be a peep now and
then from some folks who are so far
behind the times that they do not
yet realize we have been in a de-
preston the past few years. Yes, it
is possible, that there exists even now,
newspapers in Minnesota that main
tain, or at least write that way, that
the interests of the farmers are
Numerically opposed to those of the
laborers, and vice versa.
When farmers cannot buy, wage
earners cannot find jobs.
When wage earners cannot buy,
farmers cannot sell their crops.
A higher income for farmers means
more jobs for workers.
Higher wages for workers mean a
better market for farmers.
1t is a small percentage of people
who control the wealth of the land,
and the farmers and workers belong
to the large percentage of people
between 80 and 90 per cent-who in
the past have been voting to keep the
small controlling clique in control.
But the farmers and workers who are
awake to their interests want laws
will bring better wealth distribution,
relief to the farmer and more jobs
to the workers.

manship." 1t might be stated on good
authority that "sportsmanship" has
been submitted as the main point Of
defense in most of the controversies
of ineligible players. The question
arises whether it is sportsmanlike to
ask for something that is constitu-
tiCnally forbidden. What consequent
ces would follow if the league would
tolerate the acceptance of any and all
ineligible players? The question in
volved was striking at the foundation
of the constitutional structure. After
much discussion a motion prevailed
to put the question to secret vote.
The result was to allow the protest
and impose the penalty on the Carlton
club. A majority of the directors had
chosen to stand by the league consti-
tuition.
The significance of the decision to
the Carlton or to the Sturgeon Lake
club was of secondary Importance.
The primary significance of the de-
cision was that the constitution had
been put to a test and had been vindi-
Gated.

FIRST EDITIONS-AND BABIES
(LabOr)

A copy of Shakespeare's plays,
printed in 1923, was sold at auction
in London recently for $4,000. The
buyer is DR.. A. S. w. Rosenbach of
Philadelphia.
If anyone in Philadelphia has $62,-
900 to spare, it should not be hard to
find a better use for the money in
times like these. Philadelphia has
thousands of families that have not
had enough to eat for a year. Next
to Detroit, it is probably the abode
of more concentrated suffering than
any other city in the Union; for even
in the depression, Philadelphia's
grafters have robbed the city blind.
Sixty-two thousand dollars would sup
ply a lot of milk to the babies of
the Quaker City.
All the wit and humOr, the poetry
and philosophy of Shakespeare can be
bought for few dollars at any book
store. What DR.. ROsenbach really
bought was exclusive possession of a
curio. 1t seems high price for
vain-glOry when children are hungry
almost next door.

TELEPHONE RATES
Duluth Publicity

Attorney General Harry H. Peter
son, the Farmer-Laborite who sue
ceeded Henry Benson, is entitled to
great credit for the successful fight
he has made against the sky high
statewide telephone rates. Mr.. Pc
terson's service to the public shines
the brighter by contrast with the way
Benson's regime handled public af-
fairs in refusing to act even upon the
most convincing proof, that the tele-
phone rates were out of line over
charging for their services.
Nothing could better illustrate the
difference in spirit controlling the
two parties than this case against
the telephone corporations.
When d. F. JOrgensen, chief engi-
neer of the railroad and warehouse
commission, submitted his report
showing that telephone rates could
be reduced % per cent, and still
leave a net income of per cent on
the cOmpany's property devoted to the
service, the attorney generals office
under Benson was inclined to criti-
else and discredit Jorgensen, rather
than take action. This certainly
demonstrates who was master of the
Republican party, and to whom the
officials of that party considered that
they owed first allegiance.
JORGENSEN'S TESTIMONY
1. Telephone rates in the city
of st. Paul could be reduced at
least 25 per cent and still give
the company a net return of ap-
proximately per cent on the
present fair value" of the prop
erty which it devotes to the pub
lie service.
2. A 25 per cent reduction
would also allow the company to
pay all its fixed interest charges
on its outstanding bonds; pay 6
per cent on it's preferred stock,
and yet provide the company with
11.64 per cent return on the par
value of its common stock.
While Attorney General Peterson's
victory over the telephone magnets
will afford some relief from an in
tolerable condition it could easily be
only temporary, for there is no telling
how soon the plunderbund may again
get control of the state government
The final solution must be national
and state enforcement of the laws of
control. Only by such methods will
relief to telephone patrons be secured.

DEFENDS PROTEST DECISION
OF BASEBALL LEAGUE
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkOV American:
To counterfeit some misleading prop
uganda circulated to discredit the
Pine County Baseball League and the
Appeal Board in regards to their set
Element of the Sturgeon Lake Carlton
baseball controversy l wish to publish
the facts surrounding that controversy
The ineligible player question is
the most troublesome problem con-
fronting any baseball league. That
question has flared up in many
leagues throughout the state and pro-
tests involving that point have been
brought before the state league body
for final adjudication.
The Pine County Baseball League
with many years of experience in the
background has put into the bylaws
definite rules of action to govern that
problem. And if violations are made,
proper penalties are provided.
The three objects of the league are:
1. To perpetuate baseball as i ma
tiOnal game of America, and to sur
round it with such safeguards as to
its integrity and methods. 2. To pro-
tect and promote the mutual interest
of amateur baseball clubs, and anna
teur baseball players. 3. To estab-
lish and regulate the amateur cham
pionship of the Pine County league.
When the Carlton club was accepted
into the league last spring they were
allowed to retain the privilege of ac-
cess to city of over 1000 people for
baseball material. Their roster indi-
Gates that they have exercised that
privilege. Although they had forty
names registered on their roster they
qualified only ten men to participate
in the Championship playoffs which
would be a minimum of six games
On the eve of very important cham
pionship playoff they learned that
they had only eight men that could &C
out and play in that game. Two Of
the men could not go along because O.
valid reasons. There and then it was
necessary to put the league and the
Sturgeon Lake management on the
spot. BY the use of the telephone they
attempted to make arrangements tt
use some other player. The name o
the player was withheld for reason:
of their own and was not divulgeC
until he was put into the lineup a
the beginning of the game. And as il
turned out he was not Carlton maj
but was recruited from the City O
Cloquet. Immediately a storm of pro
tests arose among Sturgeon Lake
players and fans. The Sturgeon Lake
management would not approve TIN
player and informed the UMPIRE that tn
game was played under protest. TIL
disputed player took his place in TIN
lineup and played through the game
Carlton had men along and oppcrtuni
ty to offer a substitution but the,
chose to feign ignorance Of the tru'
state and played the game.
The protest was taken before tn
Board of Appeals as the President o
the League had waived his constitu
tional authority of making a decision
on the protest. Carlton submitted a

A careful observer who has been
up on the subject informs
us that the best barometer in the
world is the old, scratched up, lop-
cared, battle-scarred cat. If he eats
grass it is a sign of rain. If he
stands with his back to the stove it
means cold weather. When he washes
his face, wash yours, for you are
going to have company. If he is ner-
vous at the time when he is usually
sleeping, examine your lightning rods
and disconnect your radio for storm
is coming. Everything he does is a
sign of something. If you haven't a
measly old cat. you had better get
one at once.

Taxpayers associations or organi-
cations have been rather conspicuous
by their absence of late. There are
folks who join such associations be-
cause they mean business, they want
taxes cut and they are sincere in their
work for the public welfare, but often
times the instigators are out for po-
litical purposes, either because they
want to run for office themselves, help
out a political friend, or propagandize
against some other person. They have
axes to grind. 1t might be interesting
at the next tax meeting to check up
on what percentage of the gathering
is out looking for something besides
helping to remedy the tax situation.

is, collectively for the common good,
which is after all but another form Of
cooperation, being municipal, state
and federal, wherever that is more
practicable than voluntary cO-opera-
ton. Such action will bring about
true industrial recovery from the
malady caused by the profit system.
Anything short of this which props up
the profit system, may put men and
women to work, but only as slaves to
an owning class, for the essence of
slavery is being subject to the will of
another.

Mile Laos County Times: Aaron
Sapiro, the man who formed the po-
tato exchange in Minnesota some
years ago and fixed his own salary at
$4,000 a year, has been indicted at
Chicago on a racketeering charge.
He made an attempt to leave the
country but was apprehended. Sap
iro's potato exchange proved to be
nothing but a racket, and it is good
news to hear that he is liable to
get his just deserts.

Staunch and dependable friendship
is greatly to be desired and highly
priced. The kind of human beings
who pose as friends and would at the
same time talk behind the back or
do harm are the kind who may as well
be Stunned or cast aside. The latter
kind of friends" are likely the sam
pie referred to when it is said that

mics but you cannot always be sure
about your friends"

chalked up what some think to be the
best pitched game of his career only
to lose it. Fifty-twO men faced him

THE EAGLE GETS A REST
(The American Guardian)

The revolution is on. The President
of the United States broadcasted an
address i'm which he didn't mention
founding fathers" "best government
on EARTH eternal principles of JEFF
ferson, Jackson and Lincoln" "Old
Glory" and 1.-The eagle whose majes-
tic pinions, etc" but had lot to
say about the desirability of shorter
hours, longer wages and more eats.
And just think. it's only a few short
years ago when American citizens
were hoosegowed for advocating these
very things.
