might have been a house-warm-
ing instead Of a "pre.view," SO
congenial was the gathering Of
select washington society that
was present.
Located in Spring Valley at 1899
Quebec ST., the house is on only
one of the many possibilities for
residence sites in that develop
ment. The Miller firm has never
made it a point to jam one house
against another in its develop
ments, but invariably leaves plenty
of room and trees about each
building and scatters vacant sites
about for future requirements. It
is a kind Of psychology that many
builders do not understand-and
the vacant property becomes more
valuable as the development pro-
crosses.
The Select Committee to Inves-
tigate Real Estate Bondholders
Reorganizations has started click
ing.
It sounds like some new reform
movement but it is the name Of
the House subcommittee which is
conducting the investigation. It
really hopes to reform something,
however. if it can find anything
to reform.
Complainants who feel they
have been defrauded in real
estate refinapcing transactions
are requested to mail their COM
plants directly to the committee,
which is now located in room
1885 House Office building.
But the committee is also
specially desirous Of having the
following questions answered and
mailed in as soon as possible:
/. The name of the bond
and name and location Of the
property securing it.
2. The investment company
or banks from which such
bond was purchased.
3. The name and address Of
the bondholders protective
committee and any representa-
tions or statements made by
such committee.
4. Such additional informa.
ton as will be Of assistance
in the conduct of this investi-
cation.
Representative A. j. SABBATH,
chairman Of the committee, is
named to receive the answers.
Strict provisions for local op-
tion code control under the real
estate brokerage code will be in
cluded in the bylaws, if the ma
jority of the realtor members of
the code authority have their way.
Such provisions will render the
code flexible and enable it to
handle local conditions far better
than an inflexible, blanket code
which, in some portions Of the
country, would do more harm
than good.

HE'S HIP

Criticising the law setting forth
the distribution system of liquor in
the state, The Minneapolis Star, how
ever. says that it would probably be
reasonably satisfactory if it were ad-
ministered and enforced literally and
fearlessly.
Going on The Star hits the nail
on the head when it states that mo
law is any better than its enforce
ment. Even if the next Legislature
should devise a perfect liquor law it's
a safe bet that it wouldn't work per-
fectly because it couldn't enforce it
self"
Concluding. The Star takes a real
left-handed swing at politicians with
the following:
''One reason liquor is always mixed
up in politics is because liquor has
always been a good provider for poll
ticians.'
More truth than poetry. However,
all politicians do not imbibe, but
there is enough truth in it so that
the informed reader is led to believe
that The Star editor knows what is
going on and knows the way of men.

HOW MANY "SUGGESTEDs~

1t is of course essential that a per-
son running for high political office
should have done something and &C.
complished something for the peo-
pie in order that he may merit their
confidence and vote. Therefore it is
sometimes amusing to note how such
a candidate or his henchmen will
claim everything for him.
In a circular sent out in behalf OF
a statewide candidate in Minnesota
this year it states in the heading that
he sponsored" the Minnesota mort
gage moratorium law. Farther down
in the circular it states that he pro.
posed" it, and lastly that he "sug-
gested" it.
The man was not a member in the
1888 session of the Legislature when
the law was enacted, and further
more hundreds and thousands of peo-
pie have suggested things that they
never carried through.
But it seems necessary to secure
publicity and plenty of it to gain
Roadway in politics. A fellow who
can foreSee future events or takes a
chance on them happening and writes
letters suggesting" that something
be done, can later say Il told you So
and take the credit.

FED TO VISITORS TOO

About 900 Kiwanians from North
and South Dakota and Minnesota
meeting in district convention in St
Paul this week were greeted by ''sour
grapes" in the shape of talk by a
Minneapolis attorney.
The speaker was Frederick H
Stinchfield, who opposed Governor Oh
son in his declaration of martial law
in connection with the truck drivers
strike in the Mill City. He said that
the bureaucrat believes he can make
and enforce the law better than any
one else, that he ought to have the
sole right to interpret it. and that all
complaints against it should be made
to him.
The governor was branded a bu-
reaucrat but the speaker added that
the bureaucrat's most perfect repre-
sentation is Gen. Hugh Johnson of the
MIRA.
1t is nothing unusual to hear those
who have been defeated talk that way

sale Of the property. Japan retaliated
by clapping thirty Soviet residents of
Hardin into Jail as conspiratOrs bent
on assassinating various high Japan
csc officers.
AS in the Chinese phase of recent
Manchurian history, it is a case of
instigating provocative incidents to
gain particular ends. Japan clearly
wants to bring to an issue the ques-
ton of supremacy. Ever since the
unseating of China in Manchuria,
Toxic has been attempting to relieve
Russia of its Manchurian holdings
and thereby end Russian influence in
the region. Japan's method through
out appears to have been to create
provocative incidents on the frontier
intended to bring the two govern
ments to point where a resort to
arms would seem the only solution.
1t is bluff which Japan has sue
cessfully worked before and is ap-
parently willing to try again.
Japan is hoping that an intoler-
able situation will be created out of
which the only recourse, short of
actual war, will be a settlement in
Japan's favor. 1t was an easy game
to play with China. but may be a dan
gerOus one to play with Moscow.

TRIBUTE TO HONESTY
(St. Paul Daily NewS)

One of the finest pictures of Pres
ident Roosevelt is that of him stand
ing before the drouth-stricken farm
ers. His suit is soiled from the dust
clouds through which he has ridden
inspecting the dried-up lakes and
ruined farms. The, sweat runs down
the dirt caked on his face. His quick
smile is missing as he looks into the
faces of the. men who were so recent
ly prosperous grain farmers and stock
men, but are now on the dole.
They want dam to store the future
waters. They want the government tC
build it. They want the President to
promise.
The President is human. He wants
to promise anything that will give
hope to these victims.
And the President is a politician
These men are voters and they are
disgruntled. Obviously a political
gesture is called fora campaign
promise.
So the president stands there, look

INDEPENDENT BANKING
(RuSSel AnchOr)

Independent bankers throughout the
country have awakened to the realiza-
tion that if concerted action is not
taken against the menace of chain
branch banking, that they will be leg
islated out of business, and commun-
tiles will be subjected to a financial
control that originates in Wall Street.
At present, small town banks are
owned and controlled by men living
in the community. Because of that.
the bank under the proper manage
ment is made to serve the community
loans with some thought to character
as we'll as security. In the future, if
chain and branch banking becomes
dominant, loans will have to be passed
on by a board of disinterested men
1000 miles away, and the words "cOm-
munity service" will have been for
gotten. The small banker has found
champion in the form of the indie
pendent Bankers Association. and
their program concerning banking and
money legislation verges on being
radical" The organization, although
it is composed of men of all political
faiths. will undoubtedly support the
efforts of the Farmer-Labor admin
istration to set up. state central
bank, as a bulwark against the dis
organizing forces who seek to wipe
out our state banking system.

STILL FUSING

United Minnesota Voters" is the
name of the latest organization at
tempting to scare the voters away
from the Farmer-Labor party. A
meeting of so interested politicians at
the Athletic Club in st. Paul Monday
set up the organization. Carl w. Cum
Minis and Oliver T. Skellet, both of st.
Paul, appear to be the main spokes
in the wheel. They say that their
plan cOntemplates vote by the men,
bers of the organization to determine
the personnel of the fusion state ticket,
thus giving the people themselves the
right to determine which candidates
they wish to support. They plan on a
large membership in the United Min
nesota Voters
Patrick ]. Delaney, Jr, st. Paul
declared the new plan 1.-The best Re-
publican fusion scheme yet proposed
Continuing, he said THE United Vot-
ers' plan does not concern in any way
the Democratic side because the pro-
ponents of the scheme know full well
exactly who the fusion candidates will
be and that no Democratic nominee
will be ON the ticket"
The voters made their choice Of
Republican and Democratic nominee:
for the various state offices at the
June primaries and any attempt a
self-appointed politicians to change
that slate will likely be met with re
buke on the part of the rank and file

FROM EXCHANGES
Editorial Comment From Other News
papers. Which May or May Not
Conform With the Opinions
Of the AskOv American.)
DEBT DEFAULT UPHELD
(SiOuX City JOurnaO

Preaching in London, Rev. DR.. A..
G. Cummins, Episcopal rector of
Poughkeepsie, N. ", told his congre-
CATION that he believed a majority
of the American people would be
willing to relinquish this cOuntry's
claim to war debts owed by Great
Britain. The rector urged in his SER
mon a real alliance between the
United States and Great Britain.
Secret diplomacy" he declared,
must give way to international CO.
operation
DR.. Cummins' argument in favor of
debt cancellation was that we should
be willing to forego "indemnities for
loans contracted during the great
war because of the inherent benefits
that accrued to our nation when we
made the loans" No doubt he meant
in this that not only did this country
profit heavily in selling goods to the
allied powers but was saved from
invasion by conquering TeutOns.
There has been good deal of that
kind of talk on both sides of the
Atlantic as the war debts were dis
cussed.
If the suggestion offered by DR..
Cummins were taken it would mean
an outright gift Of more than II bill
lion dollars to Europe by the Amer
lean people. American taxpayers are
not in the mood to make such an out,
right gift, especially when they real
ize how they are generally regarded
abroad.

DROUGHT AND LIVING COSTS
Rochester POSt-Bulletin)

The effects of the drought and
drought relief measures rapidly take
the center of the stage. According
to the department of agriculture,
there will be food enough for all, but
its costs is bound to rise. General
living costs should not rise more than
6 or per cent during the coming
winter, says Secretary Wallace,
though cost of certain foods may rise
more than that.
Several steps are to be taken to
prevent unjustified price increases.
The government will buy up surplus
crops, including hay and fruit, in
order to conserve supplies. This
should help to prevent speculation
and wide price fluctuations. At the
same time, the consumers counsel of
the AAA will issue summaries show
ing where price increases are out of
line with rises in other sections. If
there is no sound reason for in
creases, the counsel will say SO.
Pressure will be brought to bear also
through the consumers counsels es-
tablished over the country by the
national emergency council, all unit
ing to control the price situation.
The whole situation requires in
telligence, honesty and decision in its
handling. With foresight and CO.
operation, there will be less loss and
suffering than the magnitude of the
drought would otherwise cause.

Willow River School Notes

Miss Bodil Fenger resigned to ac-
cept better position with the U. S.

one of the strongest teachers on our
faculty, and we shall miss her very
much. Her position, home economics
and science, will no doubt be filled be-

School will open on Monday, Sept
3, Labor day. 9 a. m. for two hour
session in the forenoon for the pur-
pose of enrolment. All busses will
operate on that day. Some changes
were made in the west territory.
Watch the paper next week for details.
The board selected Maurice Ander-
son of Willow River, for the existing
grade vacancy. Mr.. Anderson is a
graduate of Duluth Teachers College.
A recent letter from State Commits
siOner Rockwell, states that something
and most dependent boys and girls
from the rural school districts to at
tend high school. This help will be
in addition to the regular state tut
ton now paid by the state. A survey
of conditions is now being made.
The State of Minnesota now offers
every rural school graduate 1882 Gin
the form of tuition) to attend high
school. This is paid to the high
school at the rate of seven dollars
per month. Government surveys and
statistics show that on an average a
high school student actually earns
over nine dollars per day for every
day he spends in high school.
Boys and girls, if you are eligible
for high school, and if you can pos
sibly do so, you should attend high
school and continue until you are
through high school. We expect 1SO
to 100 high school students here again
this year. Graduates are welcome to
return for post graduate work, if you
have no other plans for the ensuing
year. We hope to see all the old
freshmen, sophs, and juniors back to
help make this bigger and a better
year than ever. We expect about fifty
new freshmen again this year. Re-

BACK TO WORK

Thank goodness, the Minneapolis
truck drivers strike is ended!
While the strike did not directly
nor other communities outside of the
Mill City, except for the expense Of
military rule, it is not we'll to have
such disorders and folks are constant
ly on edge for what might happen
next.
Five deaths as a result Of the strike
is enough. And there are bitter feel
ings brought on through the riots
when folks were shot in the back flee
ing from the scene of the disorders.
More than fifty people were injured
in the big riot of July Goth.
Shortly after that Governor Olson
declared martial law. not to whip the
cept what might be meted out to
them, as has been the case so many
times when martial law is declared
by governors, but to restore order and
save life and property. The COVER
nor's action has been discussed pro
and con, but folks of calm judgment
and not directly interested on either
side, are praising him for the action
taken. There might have been many
more lives lost had it not been for
the wise steps taken by the chief
executive of the state.
Folks generally are thankful for
the settlement of the strike as it
gives better deal to the employees
nearer a living wage-which makes
for more contentment, and it makes
for more activity in business, so much
needed. Now, especially, when we
need to get the wheels of industry
more into motion, is a bad time to
have trucks standing idle and en-
ployes walking the streets. 1t is a
bill of expense to both parties in
volved in the controversy, and the
taxpayers have to foot the bill of the
military men.
The truck drivers went back to
work yesterday morning. They will
be happier and better off doing some
thing again.

Editors NOte-The State Board of
Control referred to above as a COM
mittee was likely meant to have been
the State Executive Council.
If more than one nominee can run
for Congress on the Farmer-LabOr
ticket or any other party ticket after
the primaries it is news to us. The
Weber referred to is likely Frank r.
Weber who received the Democratic
nomination for Congress from the
Sixth district. He defeated William
H. DeParcq and Matth. F. Hummer,
Democrats, for the nomination in the
June primaries.
There is no desire on the part OF
the Askov American to interfere with
the reporting or writing of others, but
the records show plainly who were
the candidates in the primary election
and on what party ticket they ran, so
that correction must be made, or the
readers are misinfOrmed. Not having
a reporter at the Pine River meeting
the American cannot vouch for the
correctness of statements credited to
speakers in the above article.
