that money is no respecter Of human
lives or human preservation. And the
millions of unemployed have also
er looked about him-a long time
before he sent his pickets to the trunk
highways and his brave bands to
stave off foreclosures. He saw ware
houses bursting with wheat, cotton
and every product needed by man
yet unobtainable because of lack of
money. He saw millions of citizens
in the cities close to starvation and
without adequate clothing because of
demoralized currency. Yet food
in its myriad forms craming to over
flowing the cities thousands of stores.
And countless dwellings vacant while
uncounted hundreds of Americans
have actually no roofs over their
heads! Why? Because a gold dollar
which has made man a cringing slave.
has been cOrnered by limited group
who fight every attempt to restore pur-
chasing power to the mOneyless mil
lions by the reconciliation of silver.
But without currency expansion by
silver and expansion of credit ninety
per cent of our citizenry will be de-
spoiled of every right to life. The
collapse to barbariSm will be COM
plete. All this the farmer observed.
And now again, as it was in 1916, it
is the farmer whose indomitable
courage takes action for the rights
of man. In him is grained the SUI
preme demand of mans right to lib
erty in our Declaration of Indepen-
dence, 1.-The Right to Life" is the
Declaration challenge galvanizing
our "embattled farmers of 1887"
Even now, as hearless finance orders
the majesty of the Law to fOrecl0se
in the midst of nation wide poverty
and misery, the farmer crys-"Halt,
your majesty, You shall not take
my home nor my lands. When you
threaten my fires ide-the forced sale
of my acres and the eviction of nay
family you threaten our right to life.
Laws are for humanity's good. If you
act in the hour of human crisis with
your accustomed inflexibility and i'm
placability you are killing the right
to life. If you cannot sympathize
with the sweat of my blood and my
heart-my toil-my hopes-my love
of my home and farm nor consider
my contribution to the welfare of
humanity, then you disown the dec
laration! | will not be forclosed! I
take my stand on The Right to Life""

1.-THE RIGHT TO LIFE"
Ebert Meurling in ChisagO
County PreSS)

TTcSSD
The farmer today exhibits the
greatest courage in America. AL
though chained in twelve billion
dollar debt he voices a protest that
is sounding throughout the nation.
Long he has waited and pleaded for
help from legislatures and congress.
Starving for financial relief he has
seen government monetary aid be-
slowed elsewhere. He has seen two
billion dollars reconstruction finance
go almost wholly to big banks, big
railroads and big business. He who
feeds and clothes the nation has had
to stand by helpless while a greed
manipulated currency plunged his
wheat, corn and stock to unpreced-
ented low levels. All this he has
submitted to believing that grain
of virtue existed in the money gam
blers. Surely nations financial
restitution would mean reform in
currency system which worked such a
colossal disaster. And surely the
money powers would not kill the goose
that lays the gold egg. Certainly
they would be intelligent enough to
remonetarize silver and issue green
backs to start the wheels of employ
ment going. Since money is as i'm
perative for existence as the oxygen
i'm the air we breathe, the financ1ers
would not completely choke off
money-the means of existence! But
no. The farmer has learned again

THE FOLLY OF REVENUE
DIVERSION
minneapolis JournaD

The proposal of Lynn Thompson
and his Junior Taxpayers Association
to divert for school maintenance
large portions of the so called "op-
tional tax revenues of Minnesota
should be beaten. Not because the
schools do not need the money; they
Individually do. But because the pro-
posed diversion would be in stark vio-
lation of the principle upon which
these optional taxes are levied
the collection of payments for privi-
leges, with the understanding that
the money so raised will be spent to
maintain and enhance the value of
such privileges.
High courts, indeed, have held that
the motor vehicle license fee is not
a tax at all, but payment for the
specific privilege of driving on the
highways of the State collecting it.
And the same line of reasoning APP
plies to the gasoline tax and to the
hunting and fishing license fees.
Once we permit diversion of these
privilege payments, even for so worthy
a purpose as providing sorely needed
school money. the bars will be down.
and there will be endless proposals
to dip into these special revenues for
purposes in no way related to those
for which they are collected.
The Junior Taxpayers Association
might be more fifty named the Senior
Tax Spenders Association.

COOPERATION
Editor ASkOv American:

Editor Askov American:
At our coop oil meeting in Askov
the question was asked how many
read the Cooperative Builder AS
rule | read it and when | read it |
cannot help but think what poor
show down real loyal cooperation has
here in AskOv compared to other
places. 1t is really sad to think about
it as we have had the reputation of
being good co-operators during the
past years and now when we need to
stand together more than ever it seems
as if the cooperative spirit has dis
appeared. if there ever existed one at
least in regard to our cooperative
feed association, which needs a 100
per cent loyalty to pull it out of the
hole which the present economic con-
ditions have put it in Let us not
forget that it is our store and it is our
duty to protect it and the only way
to do that is to be loyal to it. Let
us not permit anyone to ruin that
for us which we have built up. l am
very much afraid that we are in dan
ger from within. That plan already
has been discussed, which if carried
out would ruin us, therefore let us be
awake and stand together as one. We
can not afford to be without our feed
store, especially now when most of us
agree that it is only through CO.
operation that we farmers can accom-
plish anything for ourselves and for
those that succeed us. 1t is our only
hope and the only way out of the
muddle which we are in. Therefore
| suggest that we. some time during
the early spring. have a meeting
where we could discuss plans whereby
to market our rutabagas either as an
Independent association or through
our feed store, or some other plan
whereby our members will not be
compelled to trade their bagas off for
feed which so many were during the
past year and which was big loss to
our cooperative association. If any
one is interested in meeting of that
kind, let us hear from them so ar
rangements can be made when to
| have it.
Yours for cooperation.

A HANDICAP OVERCOME

A life dedicated to public service
has caused citizens of Summit. S. d.,
to acclaim Miss Sonora Brustuen,
Helen Keller.
Born i'm 1900, she has spent the 30
years of her life in training herself
to be Of use and benefit to others.
Her father was a pioneer business
man and long the president Of one of
SUBMITS banks.
Miss Brustuen attended the South
Dakota school for the blind at Gary,
where she specialized in music. She
was graduated in 1920
Believing she had talent that could
be developed, she went east and en-
tered the New England Conservatory
of Music at Boston. Here she studied
piano and glee club work, graduating
in 1924
The blind girl returned to her home,
opportunities in the western town, she
started a girls glee club. Her work
was recognized by civic-minded citi-
zens and she was put on the regular
school staff in charge of music
where she is employed today.
Her work has included the organi-
cation of a childrens choir in the
Lutheran Sunday school. musical di-
rector of the Sunday school and her
school work. She has been president
of the local Young PeOpIe'S Iaapue
several times.

REDISTRi WILL GIVE
NEEDED BUYING POWER

Finances are necessary, but great
financiers- naturalization of wealth
the power in the hands of the few
can nicely be gotten along without.
A financial autocracy is worse than
kingdom and how well the masses are
coming TO "a realization of that. Gen
orally speaking kings have been Civ
en- a back seat, though some of them
have had a coed understanding of the
people, have shown and practiced
sympathy and have ruled well, but
again, on the other hand. their ruling
has been just the OppOsite-bad for
the people with no chance for their
subjects to change that despotism.
Money. however, is just as bad or
even worse. for there is no sympathy
in the filthy lucre." especially when
in the hands of the greedy for power.
1t is therefore refreshing to read
OF the we'll authenticated reports that
President-elect Roosevelt intends to
seek legislation enormously increas-
ing federal Inheritance taxes as Il
means of effecting the redistribution
of wealth.
This is one of the tenets of faith
of the radicals of both parties, eX-
plotted particularly by the LaFOllette-
Norris group of Republican radicals
which supported Mr.. Hoover in the
1882 election. High Inheritance taxes
have been advocated year in and year
out by these groups as the only ef-
fective device for breaking up vast
Accommodations of wealth which the
radicals maintain are inimical to the
best interests of the country. They
are opposed by conservatives on the
ground that the enforced redistri-
button of wealth destroys incentive
to produce wealth, paralyzes motives
which are responsible for the up
building and prosperity of the nation.
and reduces all endeavor to the dead
level of the socialistic state.
inasmuch as nearly all the states
levy inheritance taxes, there is al
ways the possibility of double taxa
tion of estates. Under the present
federal estate tax law such double
taxation is avoided so long as the
state tax Is less than 80 per cent of
the federal levy.
1T may be said," says the report of
the Ways and Means committee re-
port on double taxation, that insofar
as estate and inheritance taxes are
concerned. the evil of double taxation
has largely been done away with, but
that many questions still are at issue
concerning the proper maximum
estate tax burden and the division of
the revenue derived therefrom. The
so per cent credit clause Of the fed
eral law is a unique device also de-
serving serious thought. 1t seems to
have many advantages in this case
but if this principle is extended to
other taxes it might become objection
