SOURCE Is CONSIDERED
madison Independent Press)

The Saturday press has exploded a
bombshell. In a recent issue, given
wide circulation, there appeared an
affidavit signed by Einar Hilsen, pur-
porting that one Chas. L. DeRue had
informed him that he had refused an
offer made to him by Gov. Olson to
appoint the said Chas. DeRue to the
Supreme Court bench for a consider
alton of fifty thousand dollars, and
that the governor had further stated
that a larger sum could be had for
the appointment of julius Olson, but
that he preferred DeRue to have it
because of personal friendship. The
affidavit does not state that Hilsen re-
ceived this information from Gov. Oh
son, nor does it state that the COVER
nor had ever made such an offer, ac-
cording to Hilsen's knowledge. 1t is
just another of those statements de-
signed to EXPOSE" the blacklist adj
ministration of which we hear so
much about. Coming as it does from
the Saturday Press, the story will
have no more power than it would
had it come from Townley.

WELL DONE

Newspapers out over the state have
been commenting the Grand Rapids
Herald-Review for the most excellent
40th anniversary number recently
published by that northern Minnesota
weekly newspaper. And the good
words for Editor L. A. Rossman and
his able staff are very much merited.
The special edition which contains
much about the history of Grand
Rapids and the north country is one
that will be preserved by many read
ers. Mr.. Rossman has been at the
helm of the Herald-Review for 20
years, he knows how to get out good
paper and does it every week. He en-
ploys people who know their trade and
the result is a weekly publication of
which the community and county may
be justly proud. A man who knows
his trade and takes pride in turning
out a good product is bound to be
recognized by folks in the same line
of work as we'll as by many others
who appreciate good workmanship.
The Grand Rapids Herald-Review edi-
tor is such man and he and his able
assistants outdid themselves in the
anniversary number.

"ROTTENNESS PLUS"

Editor Askov American:
l think Mr.. Teigan's article in the
September s issue of the American
gives a wrong picture of the political
situation in this state of California.
While it is most difficult to give a
true picture, it certainly is not hard
to discern that Mr.. Sinclair in win
ming the nomination on the Demo-
cratic ticket did not do so ''by huge
majority" as Mr.. Teigan indicates.
The official count shows that the
Democratic candidates received S44,-
III votes while the Republican can
didates received S25,SO0 for the office
of governor. This total of 1,669,917
cast for governor comprises nearly the
entire vote of the state. There were
few more votes cast for governor
for minor candidates but not suf-
ficient in number to materially change
the comparison. Of these votes, Sim
clair received 436.220, or a little more
than a fourth of the votes cast, while
Merriam received 346,329, which is
almost 10000 less than Sinclair. What
it all means the most astute politician
is careful to venture. The economic
and political situation in California
is not at all comparable to that in
Minnesota.
Politically and economically there
is rottenness plus out here. l don't
believe that Mr.. Sinclair believes he
can remedy matters by carrying out
his theories. If he believes his own
writings. he is against the school, the
church and everything we consider
sacred and holy. l am reformer my
self. but l am not yet ready to Rus
sianize America.
There is no overproductiOn of any
thing. The efforts of humanity are
unbalanced. Too many people are try
ing to live without working and to
gain through the efforts of others.
The farmer is Old Atlas carrying the
full weight of the situation on his
shoulder You can't relieve the farm
err by increasing his interest burden
whether it is for improvements or for
expansion. Some day we will con-
slider him as a cause to be remedied
and not as a carrier to bear our bur-
dens.

CARBON MONOXIDE SEASON HERE

Carbon monoxide escaping into
closed cars from a faulty firing motor
may cause accidents, says bulletin
from the State Medical Association.
Most people know enough not to start
their motors and let them run in i
closed garage but many are not aware
that enough carbon mOnoxide is re-
leased into the air of a closed car if
there is faulty combustion in the en-
CINE, or even from the car just ahead,
to cause illness, which may in turn
cause an accident due to the dizzi-
ness of the driver inhaling too much
of the gas.
An important study made recently
in Connecticut and Massachusetts is
cited by the doctors to confirm this
belief. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand cars were tagged on the road
and a gas analysis of the interior OF
each was made. Sixty per cent OF
them contained measurable quantities
of carbon monOxide and seven per
cent contained enough to cause the
collapse of the driver with exposure
of four or more hours.

FAIR AND WITH FUNDS
(Grand Rapids Herald-Review)

(Grand Rapids Herald-RevleW)
Down at Dassel, Minnesota, there
has been celebration during the past
few days.
The community is out of debt. The
last of the public obligations have
been paid.
That is mark of distinction for
any community.
This condition is a great recon-
mendation to Grand Rapids. Here the
great school district which serves the
community is making progress to-
wards the elimination of its debt
The great county of Itasca has suf-
ficient money in it's sinking funds to
pay all its outstanding bonds. The
village of Grand Rapids has had more
in it's treasury than it's obligations
have totaled for some years. In fact,
for some time the city fathers have
been looking for owners of village
bonds who will sell them to the viii
lage before maturity.
Grand Rapids may claim some little
special credit for this condition. The
community is something of an oasis
in a desert of debt. The example of
the neighbors to the east has not been
good. But the community has shun-
ned bad company and proceeded on
it's way to governmental self respect.
This village is also fair to look
upon.

SCHOOL PUPILS TAUGHT
PRINCIPLES OF SAFE DRIVING

Beginning this fall, pupils in Min
nesota's high schools will learn the
maxims of traffic safety from a spe-
cial manual prepared by the division
of safety, SERA, Estate Emergency
Relief administration, it has been
announced by L. P. Zimmerman, depu-
ty administrator.
This topic of study is included in
course which aims to bring about :
greater degree of traffic security, by
impressing upon the potential drivers
of the near future, that many auto
mobile accidents can be avoided by
careful driving.
c. H. Zealand, director of the SERA
safety division, explains that in the
preparation of the manual, valuable
assistance was rendered by the state
department of education as we'll as
by leaders in school and college cir
cles.

AGAINST GROSS INCOME TAX

Editor Askov American:
The front page editorial by Editor
Mann in the last issue of The Hinck-
ley News does not meet with my APP
proval nor with that of most Of my
farmer friends with whom l have
talked it over with. We disagree
with you, Mr.. Mann, in your support
of the Gross Income tax, which is
only another tax on the farmers and
workers of Minnesota.
Yes, Mr.. Mann, we do want a
change in our system of taxation, but
not by a gross income tax, a dollar
turnover tax or any other form of
sales tax.
We want to get a change by rails
ing the rates of the net income tax,
the inheritance tax and gross earn
ings taxes on railroads and telephone
companies. In other words we want
tax system based on the ability
to pay.
Neither the farmers or workers of
Pine county nor Minnesota want a
tax system that the large real estate
holding interests, the steel trust and
power companies are attempting to
put over through the reactionary Re-
publican party in this state.
Only recently the Veterans of For
eign Wars, at their convention, came
out flatly against the sales tax.
Hjalmar Petersen, our representative
has recently published a convincing
article on that subject showing that
practically every farm organization in
America is opposed to this form OF
taxation.
Yes, we want a change in our tax
system lowering to greater degree
the taxable valuation of homestead
property. The last session of the
state legislature gave us a reduction
but we hope to get a still greater
reduction in the future.
Your support of this tax, Mr.. Mann

THE RECORD SHOWS
madison Independent Press,

(MadisOn Independent PreSS)
There has been so much criticism
of the present highway commissioner,
N. w. Elsberg, that we feel it is just
and proper to let a few truths be
known. Stories are going the rounds
that the highway department spent
more last year than any year in the
history of the state. Under C. M.
Babcock, the following amounts were
spent by that department: 1929, $780,
100000; 1880, $34.OOO,OOO; 1881, 1884,
100000; 1882, $35, 100000. In 1888, un-
der Commissioner Elsberg, the de-
partment spent $17,OOO.OOO, according
to the highway departments own fig
ures. But, mind you, the opponents of
the department do not even mention
that in spite of this saving of fifty per
cent over 1882, the department also
maintained 1000 extra miles of high
way that were added to the state sys-
tenn, thus being removed from the tax
rolls of the counties of the state.

GETTING UP in YEARS

Tomorrow, October IL, this land of
ours will be 442 years of age for that
was the day in 1892 that Columbus
and his band of intrepid explorers
landed on these western shores and
from then on civilization began
spreading westward.
Before that time the earth was
thought to be flat by almost every
one, but the world has come long
way in these 400 odd years. First it
was mountainous task to cross the
ocean by boat, and now we think very
little of its crossing in aircraft. What
will the next 400 years bring?

THE WORLD SERIES

Well, the unemployment in so far
as that caused by the playing of the
annual baseball classic is concerned.
is past and the fans have already
settled themselves back at work. The
series, which was won by the st.
Louis Cardinals of the National
League, was successful in at least one
way and that was from a financial
standpoint. BY going the limit-sev-
en- games-the receipts were over one
million dollars, thus putting grand
pecuniary flourish to an otherwise
successful season. Each of the Win
ming players will get a check for
S5.941 and each of the losers will
weep" with check for S4,313.90 in
their hands. The two managers and
almost every one of the players Of
both teams will not have to talk very
long and hard to secure a renewal Of
their contracts with an increase in
salary.
One thing strikes US as rather funny
of course and that is the attitude of
the managers. AS told by various
sport writers. both club houses and
equipment suffered from the vent Of
fury of each of the managers when
their team was the loser, but on the
other hand when they won, they
wished to treat every one within their
reach to a bottle of beer. OF course to
a certain extent that is natural. We
all like to be winners, but it is
much nicer to see our athletes of the
great clean national game be able to
take a beating gracefully. Some Of
the sport writer's were bordering
whose lot it would be to interview the
losers of the series, saying that a
trophy should go to him for his
bravery.
But at any rate Cochrane of the De-
trOit club, and Frisch of the st. Louis
team are two great managers and the
fact that they took their losses so
hard is evidence of the sincerity of
their purpose to carry on for their
clubs.
1t is a wonderful game and one that
keeps thousands of people happy
throughout the summer.
