Secretary Central Committee Pine Co.
Farmer-Labor Association
Mrs. LIE Seur Speaks at AskOv.
Mrs. Marion lie Seur, state secre-
tary of the FL. WOmen's Federation
and member of the State Board of
Education, addressed the AskOv FL.
club at its regular meeting Monday
evening. Mrs. LIE Seur stated that
women are primarily interested in
their homes and in their children, but
that when the security of their homes
is threatened and is evidenced by ap-
proximately 5000 foreclosures daily
on homes in our nation, and the doors
of opportunity are being closed to the
future citizens of our nation, it is time
that women entered into politics. U.
S. Commissioner of Education, Mr..
Zook, says that this is the first de-
preston in which education has Suf-
fered.
The ideal sought in Minnesota
schools is equality of educational OPP
portunity to be brought about through
state aids, said Mrs. LIE Seur. She
believes that intellectual ability alone
should be the basis for entrance to
our high schools and universities.
She is interested in seeing our State
Course of Study and text books kept
up to date and made up of material
presented truthfully and in an I'M
biased fashion in order that our boys
and girls will be prepared to cope
with the problems with which they
will be confronted. We have not al
lowed our social inventiveness to keep
the speaker stated.

AN ENGINEERS COMPARISON
1.-The PrOgreSSiYel

(The Progressively
Burns and Mcdonnell, that Kansas
City engineering firm whose fact find
ing surveys in the utility field have
brought frequent dismay to the big
private power interests, has just COM
pleted another study of rates and
services embracing IS towns and cities
and the new governmental power pro-
ject in the Tennessee valley.
The findings of the Burns and Nc
Donnell survey may be summarized
the average actual cost of current
consumed:
Cost of 15 X. W " H; 50 Per ~ Mo. Net Net
AVERAGE XVIII XVIII XVIII XVIII XVIII
Private lib I'll 1853 4.91 TIA
Is Cities
Municipal :. 81 1.53 2.66 3.72 5.62
Tenn. Valley rs 80 10 2.3O $50
1t will be noted that for every
amount of current used, 1T every
progressive step i'm the rate SEIZED.
ule, the cost of current which is
paid by the consumer in the com.
munity having a municipality
owned and operated plant is de.
cidedly lower than that i'm towns
and cities where the utility is pri-
yately owned and operated.
Similarly, in the Tennessee valley,
where public ownership is maintained
Oh a large scale and full advantage
taken over natural resources and a
widespread market for electric cur
rent, rates are consistently below the
municipal rate and a fraction of the
private rate.
In computing the above table, the
figures for the private plants were
taken from data supplied by the utili-
ties themselves through their own
subsidized propaganda agency, the
Edison Electric Institute, successor to
the unsavory and lately defunct Ma
tional Electric Light Association
which was junked following the insult
revelations when the private power
interests became suddenly repentant
and announced they were going to
clean up their industry.
The figures on municipal plants
used in the compilation are from the
official records of light and water de-
partments and are readily verified.
Here is striking and cOnclu.
sive demonstration of the benefits
of municipal ownership OF util1-
ties told i'm terms of dollars and
cents,-mOney i'm the pocket OF
the consumer. AS more data OF
this kind is made available to
the general public so that they
can Judge for themselves, a fur
ther swing of public sentiment to-
ward municipal ownership is pre-
| dictable.
The answer of the private power
interests that public plants do not
pay taxes and hence, can afford to
lower rates is easily discredited.
Municipal plants in most cases do pay
taxes and in addition they contribute
generously to city improvement and
financing, besides keeping the utility
bill dollars in the local community,
providing low rates and efficient serv-
ice.

NO HOMESTEAD ENTRIES
ON STATE.OWNED LAND

To refute current rumOrs in various
parts of the state and country, F. A.
Wildes, Director of the Division of
Lands and Minerals, declared that the
state is not permitting homestead en-
try on state-Owned lands or in tax de-
linQuent lands. Minnesota has not
opened any lands for homestead pur-
poses, Mr.. Wildes said.
Estate lands are sold at public auc-
tion at not less than SIS per acres"
Mr. Wildes said. Lands sold must be
appraised before sale.
1.-The State Division of Lands and
Minerals has no records or plats of
the federal government lands open for
homestead. Information regarding
such lands may be obtained from the
United States Land Office, Washing
ton, d. c.
"A survey of federal land open to
homestead in Minnesota reveals that
little or no worthwhile lands are
available. The survey was made by
men who formerly made business of
locating homsteaders ON government
land in Minnesota"

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

In a socalled White Paper the Brit
ish government a few days ago prac-
tically admitted that all disarmament
negotiations between the great powers
had broken down because of the
French insistence upon protective
alliance, and because of Germanys
insistent demands for an army in
crease.
The only way to solve the disarm-
ament problem now goes through the
international conference at Geneva,
Great Britain intimated-and, judg-
ing from past performances, this is
a very dubious one. too.
However despairing of results Brit
ish statesmen appear to be, efforts
are still being continued. Joseph
Avenol, secretary-general of the
League of Nations, has just visited
Paris and Rome to discuss matters,
and at about the same time Fulvio
Suvich, under-foreign minister of
Italy, was caller at the foreign Of
fees at Paris and London. 1t is I'M
derstOod that he tried to persuade
the French government to make some
concessions-an that he failed his
next step was to consult Sir John
Simon, British foreign minister, about
the feasibility of making joint Italian
British overtures to France in the
interest of disarmament.
More Persuasion.
1t seems that some of the optimists
among the statesmen of the world
are still nourishing the hope of ac-
complishing something in the field
of disarmament although the best that
may now be expected is an agree
ment to limit not ornaments but the
increase of ornaments. Everything
apparently depends on Germany and
France and both of these powers re-
main absolutely unyielding in their
claims. But the League of Nations,

to the fact that they usually have a
satisfactory volume. The supplies
which they handle represent an i'm
portant item among the purchases of
many farmers, consequently they
have sufficient interest in the bust
ness to give their organization the
necessary support. The oil assccia-
tions also usually have considerable
non-member patronage which adds to
the volume and is factor in the
payment of patronage dividends. OPP
erations are fairly well standardized
in the case of oil associations and
this is of advantage in the manage
ment and direction of their affairs.
While cooperative oil associations
have not been free from difficulties
arising from the extension of credit
to patrons, this problem has not af-
fected them as seriously as has been
the case with some other types Of
buying associations.
