IN GRAIN MART

OTTAWA, Ontario, Oct. 3
Q.N.S0-Official action against
exaggerated hedging operations
allegedly aimed at wrecking the
price structure of the Winnipeg
Grain Exchange was expected to-
day following a call for a meet
ing Of the Canadian Cabinet at
noon.
Results Of the meeting were
eagerly awaited by grain opera
tors in Winnipeg in view Of Chi
cago rumors the government
might take over control Of the
exchange and ban all gambling
in wheat. Acting Prime Minister
Sir George Perley, however, de-
MED the government plans to
take over the exchange.
Sir George has been in COM
munication with Prime Minister
r. B. Bennett in London, and
it is understood recommendations
from. Minister Bennett will be
laid before the Cabinet meeting.

lating wheat trading, and cleared

Georgia Mill Wages
PrObed by i. S.

Detailed information on the
scale of wages in the mill districts
of Georgia is being sought by a
group of trained investigators who
last night left Washington with
orders to complete a survey which
is to be in President Roosevelt's
hands within six weeks to be used
it is believed, in connection with
the Presidents industrial "truce."
Labor Department officials to-
day admitted that the investiga-
ton was being launched but re-
fused to comment on the purpose
Of the problem.
It was understood, however,
that the survey Of wages would
determine the extent of adherence
by mill operators to the wage level

BID JOHNSON
FAREWELL

Many are the mighty lords Of
industry who have brusquely gone
into the presence Of Gen. Hugh s.
johnson, only to emerge from his
office-the bruSqueneSs gone from
their step and much Of the wind
taken from their sails.
Today a little old lady meekly
entered the office of the doughty
general and emerged, her face
wreathed in smiles and in her
hands a book containing a fare
well message Of love from the out
going recovery administrator.
In Generals Hand
The message was scrawled in
the Generals bold handwriting in
the little old lady's autograph
book. The "hard-boiled" admins
traitor had written:
ITO dear Miss Harvey with
my love.
HUGH s. JOHNSON"
The lady is Miss Anna l.. Har-
vey, who works in the mails and
files room and who never had
seen the famous general in per.
son. Today she was sent for to
have a personal interview and was
ushered into the inner office
which many industrial leaders left
less tremendously, with no mes
sage of love to cherish.
She Got It
Miss Harvey, who is pleased to
say she was given her NRA job
through the good graces Of Mrs
Franklin D. Roosevelt after she
had been jobless for two years
wanted the generals signature on
the same page that bore the First
Lady's autograph. And that's what
she got.
The generals office these days
is mobbed with crowd after crowd
Of NRA workers invited to shake
hands and bid a last farewell to
the administrator, who wept when
he called them together the other
day for farewell address.
The general kindly wishes them
goodby and autographs anything
they ask him to. Some have pho
tographs Of him and some carry
with them a copy Of his farewell
address which they want signed
On each he pens q different mes
sage and shakes hands.

ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON IN
INTEREST PAYMENTS

The old public comfort station on
Washington Square. also called Seven
Corners, in the city of Minneapolis,
is no more. CWA workers wrecked
it or removed 1t this winter. 1t was
declared useless, before the bond is
sue of $4,000, floated some years ago
at the time of its erection, had been
paid. Interest on the bonds, which
run 80 years at five per cent, amount
to $4,000 annually and no part OF the
original issue can be paid before the
end of the 80 year period.
This is another case of where the
interest runs into considerable more
money than the original expenditure.
The one redeeming feature Of the
project is perhaps the comfort that
it has afforded. But 1t is no more.
Those interest bearing bonds that do
not permit payment Of principle be-
fore expiration of the issue are dan
gerous financial ventures and there
has been enough of them in the past
to create object lessons for the flu
ture. Interest bears down constantly
and heavily.

AGAINST MALICIOUS GOSSIP

Editor Askov American:
Have you heard about that Jones
boy ?" This or similar re-
marks are often the sounding knell of
a persons downfall. There is nothing
that can do as much harm as ground
less SANDER. 1t slowly but surely
spreads disrespect towards its victim.
Invariably it is started by people who
are jealous or trying to hide weak
nesses of their own. We have all
heard the saying, IAN empty wagon
rattleS most"
Almost without fail the object Of
local gossip is someone who is quiet,
inconspicuous or a little different
while home. 1t seems that the young
people are most often the ones at
tackled.
In practically every young persons
life there is a change at some time.
Overlooking ambition and the hunt
for adventure is part of every nor
NAL young persons makeup. There
comes a time when they tire of the
unimpOrtant SamenesS of this world.
HC thdI dlC tdlOuSphI UoOut,
talked about, and done by everybody,
every day, become a bore. A desire
for something new, different, and eX
citing arises. At this time people"
start noticing that you are getting
bad" and Islander is started. They
are bound to make mistakes, yes; but
they weren't the first ones to make
them. Slander arouses an "I'll show
them" feeling and makes the person
think: We'll, people talk anyway, so
why not give them a reason. I'd like
to walk down Main street smoking a
cigarette" Of the person happens to
be a girD. l wish some more people
would get out the old Danish story of
how one feather became seven chick
ems. C'Det err ganske vist") and let
it soak in. With as many vital prob
lens facing the world as there are
today it seems too bad that there
aren't other things to talk about.
Most people meet enough trouble in
life without having their character
ruined by groundless talk.

zens as to their rights under the Con-
stitutiOn. Therefore l take liberty to
ask for some information. l will also
state how l understand some parts Of
the Constitution.
First, shall say to it's praise, that
it Is so plain and easy to understand,
so there should be no dispute about
the meaning Of it. 1t should not be
necessary to go to the U. S. Supreme
Court for to find out the meaning of it.
That is, to find out If a State Legis-
lature and the Congress according to
the U. S. Constitution can pass an ex
post facto law. Elk post facto law is
in my dictionaries defined: A law
which deals with acts done before it's
passage.
AS l understand it, such laws have
been passed (the Mortgage Moratorium
and others).
In the Constitution of the u. S.,
article one. section nine, part three.
we read: mo bill of attainder or ex
post facto law shall be passed" And
in section ten, part one, we read:
mo state shall pass any bill of at
tainder, ex post factO law, or law i'm
pairing the obligations of contract
There Is no proviso added to either
of the two parts, so there can be no
variation from it in some particular
cases, or it would be stated right
there. 1t is said that in an emer-
gency such as depressed economic
conditions a state has the right to
suspend provisions of contract.
Now l ask: Where in the Constitu-
tion can We read that?

Editors NOte-If the Constitution is
so plain and easy to understand, then
it would seem that lay man should
not only understand "some parts" of
it but all of it. If so plain and easy,
why then a United States Supreme
Court? Even the wisest in the land
await their decisions. Why? Because
questions are involved that can be in
terpreted more than one way.
The editor of the Askov American
is not a constitutional lawyer so for
an explanation of the Minnesota Mort
gage Moratorium act. the right of the
Legislature to pass such an act, and
it's constitutionality, we refer you to
the decision of the United States Su-
preme Court, and the Courts state
ment and explanation of it's constitu-
tionality.
Excerpts of the Courts statement
were published in the press of the
country following the decision few
weeks ago and the entire statement
was also published a few places.
Should it be desirable to secure the
Courts decision in full, that can like
ly be done by applying to the office
of the Attorney General at the State
Capitol, st. Paul. Reading it, one will
realize how plain and easy to under
stand" it is.
