AS OTHERS SEE US

A discontinued farmer wished, if
possible, to trade his farm for a
more desirable one, and accordingly
listed it with a real estate agency.
A few days afterward he read in a
newspaper the advertisement of it
prepared by the agency. 1t described
in glowing terms the many charms,
comforts, conveniences and advan-
tages of the place. Three times the
old farmer read the ad, then called
his wife and had her read it to him.
Then he seized the telephone and
called up the real estate office. "Say
cancel that ad about my farm" he
shouted. i've decided not to sell it..
That's the kind of place I've wanted
for years, and, dog my cats, l didn't
know | had it, If many of us could
see our possessions as others see
them, perhaps like the farmer, we
wouldn't be so "all-fired" anxious to
swap them for something we fancy
would be better.

CAMBRIDGE LUTHER
LEAGUE CONVENES

The Cambridge District Luther
League held its twenty-second annual
convention at Brunswick June 16
and II.
Fifty-nine delegates answered the
roll and the following officers were
elected: chairman, Rev. Odahl, Bruins
wick; vice chairman, DR.. Lundholm,
Braham; secretary, Miss Ericsson,
Brunswick; treasurer, Leonard VAIL
berg, Dell Grove.
The main feature of the Saturday
evening program was paper, Young
People and Modern Amusements,"
read by Student Eric Gustafson.
Sunday school and divine worship
were held on Sunday morning. In
the afternoon DR.. Norberg, missionary
from Africa, spoke on Religious Su-
perstitions." The convention closed
in the evening with an illustrated lee
ture on the life of Christ by Mr.. and
Mrs. Alton Dobson.
Those who are to attend the Luther
League Bible camp at Grindstone lake
July 2 to s, are urged to register with
the local League as soon as possible.
The Brunswick people showed a fine
hospitality, and the instruction re-
ceived is worth remembering.

ANOTHER SENATORIAL FARCE
(The ST. Paul Daily News)

By a vote of 16 to Prof. Rexford
G.. Tugwell, one of the principal
brain trusters" of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, has been reported ia
vorably by the senate agriculture
committee for nomination as under
secretary of agriculture.
The approval followed a day of hec-
tic OratOry before the committee dur
ing which the professor acquitted
himself admirably and stood out by
contrast with some of the members
of the committee, especially it's chair
man, Sen. Ellison d. Smith of South
Carolina.
That a man of this caliber should
be subjected to such a ridiculous
examination" by senatorial clowns
explains why more capable men are
not in the public service. 1t is also
one of the weaknesses of democracy.
Prof. Tugwell, however, seemed to
take the ordeal with an unusual
amount of good nature and self-cOn-
troll. Now that it is over he should
be thankful that he was given the
opportunity to put himself in bet
ter light with the public-and also
to show up some of the nitwits both
in and out of Washington.
The professor passed the test with
flying colors but some of his exam
liners flunked miSerably.

HOME AND SECURITY

1t is one thing to criticise and
quite another to be able to do better.
Criticism coming from folks who have
never demonstrated their ability to do
much or who know little about that
which they undertake to criticise,
usually falls by the wayside. Just
so much more noise, is about all that
can be said for it.
In his recent message to Congress,
President Roosevelt took little slap
at those who are constantly talking
about individual liberty being re-
stricted by government. Asked to ex-
plain, it is another matter to tell
just what liberty has been lost. This
is the way the president put it:
''It is true that there are a few
among us who would still go back.
These few offer no substitute for
the gains already made, nor any hope
for making future gains for human
happiness. They loudly assert that
individual liberty is being restricted
by government, but when they are
asked what individual liberties they
have lost, they are put to it to an
swer.
1--WE must dedicate ourselves anew
to a recovery of the old and sacred
possessive rights for which mankind
has constantly struggled-homes, live
lihOod, and individual security. The
road to these values is the way of
progress. Neither you nor l will rest
content until we have done our ut
most to move further on that road"

MADE 1T REPLACEMENT

Do YOU remember in the campaign
of 1882, that the reactionaries hCwled
about there being no assurance that
the receipts from state income tax
would be used as a replacement tax?
They wanted replacement written
into the constitution, arguing that
the Farmer-LabOr platform of that
year did not call for making it
replacement tax.
The net, progressive and graduated
into tax became law in the 1888 ses-
sion, and as was the expressed de-
sire and determination of the spon-
sors, it became a replacement tax as
much as is humanity possible either
by constitution or statute.
The receipts from the tax go to
the public school system of the state.
so there are thousands of local school
boards who will use the funds as they
deem best. Naturally if a school dis
trict receives 500, $500, $1,000 or
several thousand dollars from the in
come tax it will levy so much less
tax on general property for the main
tenance and expenses of the school.
Somewhere, some boards in
dividuals-have to spend the tax
funds. The school boards will likely
make as good use of the money as
any other governing bodies that
might have been designated to spend
the income tax money. Therefore
the Legislature designated those
boards to do it, and it also makes for
having the money spread all over the
state on a school population basis.

MOVING OUT?

And now they have factories NOV
ing out of Minneapolis and Winona
if the Farmer-Labor party wins this
fall and the platform of that party is
carried into law.
The scare the reactionaries try to
put over is that there will be less
corporations to pay tax and that there
viii be less opportunity for employ
ment in Minnesota should those
Farmer-Laborites come into power
with a majority of the membership
in both House and Senate and the
governor and other elected state Of
ficials in the saddle.
The cry and scare of less industries
and less taxpayers is an old one.
They tried to work it on Minnesota
when the net income tax was debated
by saving that industries had moved
out of Wisconsin on account of the
net income tax in that state. As a
matter of fact Wisconsin has gone
ahead faster induStrially than any
other northwest state in the last de-
,cade. which statistics bear out.
be much less than now prevails? Is
il not time to do something about
getting people back to work. so as to
have more buying power on the part
of the masses? The idle factories
should be put to use, as the Farmer
Labor party brings out in its plat
form, not to enter into competition
in the ordinary channels of trade
with privately owned factories, but
to give an opportunity to the unem-
ployed to manufacture clothing, shoes,
and other necessities for themselves
and other unemployed. The unem-
ployed will feel better if they are
at work, it will add to their happi-
ness and contentment and they will
feel that they are again a part of
society and that society has use for
them. Without producing anything
they are burden to the taxpayer for
they have to eat and they must have
clothing and shelter.
What owner of an idle factory
would not like to lease it to the state
and have some income rather than
to leave it idle and have only ex-
pense on it?
What are the reactionary critics of
the Farmer-Labor platform offering
in the way of solving unemployment?
We must remember that unemploy-
ment, Capitalization of wealth, and
high interest rates are the greatest
economic problems confronting the
people today.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1934-06-21
WHAT DO THEY OFFER:

There has been much talk and
writing on the part of conservatives
and reactionaries about forming a
fusion ticket of Republicans and DEM
ocrats to defeat the Farmer-Labor
state ticket this fall. One Republican
newspaper puts it this way:
eff coalition is not accom-
pliShed, the results will be in
grave doubt. Let's lay aside party
lines this campaign and unite for
victory. Unless we do, the cause
will be lost. Have we politicians
and candidates of the two parties
who are big enough to see the
handwriting. and who are willing
to make the sacrifice?
The question might be asked: Sac
rifice for what?
What do the old parties propose
to do about unemployment and other
dominant questions confronting the
people of Minnesota as we'll as the
entire United States? The Farmer
Labor platform and program contains
something definite about those ques-
tions. No wonder it is the talk of
the state. You don't hear much about
the Republican and Democratic plat
forms. There is a reason.
Being about the same as formerly
they cause little comment.
Any student of economics and gov
eminent knows that unemployment,
high interest rates and centraliza-
ton of wealth-three of the most i'm
portant problems confronting the peo-
ple-can not be gone over lightly or
brushed aside. They must be taken
up, studied, and a determined effort
made to solve them. The masses
must have buying power if we are to
have order, contentment and happi-
ness. We cannot continue to go on
with unemployment.

NOTE WHO IS AGAINST
(Mille Laos County TimeS)

The best proof that the Farmer
Labor platform is a good one is evil
denced by the kind of people who are
bowling against it, They are the
same people who have always tried to
stand in the way of progress in Mime
sofa, and have had to be repeatedly
kicked out of the way as reforms have
been adopted. They will never be sat
isfied with any platform that means
progress, and nobody expected they
would be pleased with the Farmer
Labor platform. If the platform had
suited them then it would have been
evidence that the platform meant
nothing in the way of progress in the
state. This is why we are for the
Farmer-Labor platform-the same old
crowd as always, is against it.

MIR. FLETCHER OF GREENCASTLE
(The Minneapolis Starr

In keeping with political traditions
Henry P. Fletcher, newly elected
chairman of the Republican national
committee, is constantly referred to
as resident of Greencastle, Pennsyl-
vania.
Who's Who in America also credits
Mr.. Fletcher with a residence at 500
Park avenue, New York city. His
clubs are listed as two in Washing
ton, D. c., six in New York city and
none in Greencastle, which, like as
not, has none.
Why all the emphasis on the one
home in Greencastle and the omis-
sion of the one in Manhattan? Prob
ably rural Pennsylvania residence,
like the liberal and progressive plat
form they put forth is considered,

Associated Press explained, better
calculated to attract support to Re-
publican candidates at the fall cleo

INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE

The patriotic conservatives and re-
free and Independent government and
for the preservation of individual
initiative. They don't want govern
ment in business, yet the big loans
from the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration have been made by privately
owned corporations. They want the
government in business up to their
neck when it is something for them
selves. But when it comes to putting
the government in business for the
service of all it is different to those
who want special privileges.
Nobody is asking that the govern
ment set up retail meat markets, gro
Gerry stores, clothing stores, drug
stores, shoe stores, and the like. But
public utilities, means of transpOrta-
ton and communications, as well as
other monOpolies, is a different mat
ter.
If there was public ownership of
light and power generally in the
United States we would have that
service used much more on the farms
here than now prevails. Why should
the American farmer be tagging in
that respect as compared with Can
adian and Scandinavian farmers? We
have the natural resources and wealth
and they should be put to use.
Individual initiative and rugged in
dividualism is not advanced through
unemployment. Thousands upon thou
sands of young men and women grad
uate annually from our colleges and
universities Generally speaking they
go out with ambition, desire to DC
something, to be of service, and tC
be part of society. Roaming arounC
for months, and even years in many
cases, without finding employment,
their individual initiative is bount
to suffer. And this does not pertain
only to young folks graduating iron
the higher schools of learning but e
all folks who like to do things. Per
sonal initiative is not promoted b!
adhering to the status quo.

HOW TO CUT WAR

War munitions is much like liquor
If you take the profits out of it, you
remove about nine-tenths of the evil
connected with it. The individual in
centive for profits makes for war and
over-indulgence of intoxicating drinks
There are other and better methods
of earning a livelihood, to say moth
ing of huge profits, than that of lead
ing fellow citizens into war-to kill
others-and to lead them to drunken
ness. There can hardly be any argu-
ment on that point
1t seems folly and ridiculous tC
think that in war between several
nations, German private munition
manufacturers, for instance, should
make implements of war for England
for their soldiers to kill off citizens
of Germany from where the NUM-
lions came and vice versa.
Government ownership or con-
troll of all munitions and arma-
ment plants is recommended as a
cure for war by Frederick j.
Libby, executive secretary of the
National Council for Prevention
of War.
Speaking before the Students
Forum at the Minnesota Univer-
sity recently, Mr.. Libby empha-
sized this point strongly and
brought out how propaganda
leads people to think that pre-
paredness is necessary. The high
lights of his address was reported
in The Minnesota Daily in the fol-
lowing words:
Citing over a dozen of what he
termed lying dispatches" and war
scares" as instances of preparedness
propa gaMa carried on by the arma-
ment makers in order to sell their
goods, Libby recommended two ways
for preserving world peace.
Under one proposal, the United
States government would take over
the manufacture of all arms and
munitions, and operate the industry
as a government monopoly according
to its needs.
As an alternative to this plan Libby
recommended licensing and full pub
LEFTY for the ornaments industry so
the government would know where the
war materials were going and how
much profits were being made.
Libby scored the newspaper reSpOn-
sible for "alarmist reports about the
possible war with Japan widely cur
rent in this country. He cited an ar
ticle entitled will Japan Seize Chi
na?" which appeared in a recent is
sue of a popular magazine.
The enormous effect of these re-
ports, even though they may be false,
Libby said is due to the fact that
the denial never catches up with the
lie." He blamed them for the "hys-
terra" which resulted in the passage
of the Ninson big-navy bill and initi-
alton of a campaign to increase the
United States air forces.
With profits as their aim, they
take no regard of the consequences"
Libby said of the ornaments makers.
He read figures that showed the pro-
fits of Skoda, Czechoslovakian arms
firm, increasing steadily from per
cent in 1920 to over % per cent in
1880. They went steadily upward,
he said, ION war scares."

A good sized crowd of about 500
people attended the conservation pic
mic held Sunday afternoon at Pine

The principal speaker was Erling

missioner, who dwelt on lake levels,
public shooting grounds, proposed

matters. Chas. McFarlane, deputy
game and fish commissioner, also put
in his appearance at the picnic but
did not speak. State Champion Jack
Cunningham of Sturgeon Lake, gave
demonstration of trap shooting.

A STRONG REMINDER

A man at West Stockbridge, Mass.
has evidently found good remedy
for keeping the neighbor's chickens
out of the garden. He scattered corn
about his place, tied strings to the
kernels, and then attached a note to
the string. His neighbor's birds came
over ate the corn, couldn't swallow
the string, and went home with the
note dangling out of their mouths,
reading, please keep your chickens
at home"

AS long as the life of society goes
on normally, education is generally
acknowledged as an important social
function, yet it does not attract much
public attention; but when some
crisis comes, when a depression is
felt in the social atmosphere or some
political cataclysm occurs, then peo-
pie turn to education as a remedy
and panacea against the evils of the
time.-H. G.. Wells.
