let's discover the cause and see
what can be done about removing
it.
1t is idle to say that mortgage
foreclosures must stop and it is
silly to teach or believe they can
be stopped by force and violence.
The communists teach and preach
that under communism in this
country there would be no mort
gage foreclosures and they are
right. There would be none be-
cause under communism there
would be no farmers except those
employed ON state tarmS-agri-
cultural poems!
Under communism in Russia
there are no farm foreclosures,
because there are no farms upon
which to foreclose When the
Russian agricultural class, the
peasant landowners were forced
into communism, the state simply
took over their farms and the
farmer went to work for the state
hot on salary but for tea and
soup and black bread rations. If
he objected, he was taken out in
a field where the soil required
fertilizer and shot. That ended
the transaction for both farmer
and soviet. There were no heirs
and assigns and no barristers to
wrangle over the estate-that be.
longed to the soviet "state."
Under communism the farm
machinery of Gust Hout would
not have been sold by the sheriff
to the highest bidder for the very
simple reason there would have
been no farmer Gust Hout and
for another reason that that par
ticular parcel of land would have
been a part of large co-opera-
tive farm upon which Hout
would have been lucky to have
had employment a-tall.
But assuming that everything
had occurred under communism
up to the appearance of the &C
cused in a communist court of
justice; that municipal judge
Kowkosky had been judge of a
soviet court operating under or.
| ders of communist high com.

Nnen the defendants were

Divide.
so ii the American farmer will
take a few evenings off from his
fret over machinery, stock, crop
and real estate foreclosure and do
a little comparison between the
American system and the soviet
plan, the communist agitators will
nave more difficulty securing re-
crults and suckers Tor the Fourth
international.
Had there been a Judge kow-
kosky on the local court bench
last April, there would have been
no May strike, there would nave
been no murders and the city
would have had peace during the
summer instead OF revolution.
Our courts must take cogni-
zance of the fact that until VIOLA
tons of law are adequately pun
iished-not for petty parking Of
lenses or nuisance crimes but
for serious offenses-society is i'll
danger.
When communist agltators
were arrested by police last April
for melting to riot and taking
part in a riot, they were treated
with almost servile Difference.
They were permitted to plead to
minor offenses and when convict
ed of those, were given the mimi
mum penalty. One result OF that
judicial timidity can be read on
four tombstones in nearby GENE
teries and in the insolent defiance
of all American institutions and
traditions by communists who are
still actively fomenting nation
wide revolution within sound OF
the court house chimes and in
| sight of the court house clock.
What this city needs is about
eleVen Koavkoskys to deal out
Justice to active revolutionary
teachers, preachers and agitators.
If we had them, we would
have fewer strikes and communist
demonstrations" A few stiff
| Jail sentences and these tough
communist eggs would roll out
of this section. How about tear
ing a leaf from the Perham JUS
tees book, you local judges?

medal for his courage-Judge
Kowkosky of the Perham Mu-
nicipal Court.
The matter came about some
what in this manner:
For years, the village of New
York Mills, in Ottertail county,
has been a hotbed of hot-heads
and communists. 1t is a matter
far from secret that there are
more communists to the square
inch in that village-and all with
monickers one has to sneeze or
cough-than any other spot in
the state, not even excepting Lo-
cal 574 when the agitators are all
present.
A farmer living near Perham
was afflicted with a mortgage on
his farm machinery. | know from
actual and bitter experience how
a farm machinery mortgage can
ache, for l have gone through the
mill.
Farmer Gust Hout was about
to be sold out to the highest bid
der with the sheriff doing the
auctioneer stuff. 1t is conceded
far in advance of argument that
there is ''no sech critter" these
days as a high-bidder when the
county's principal peace officer
cries the sale, and the prospects
were bright that Gusts plows
and drills and hoes wouldn't
bring enough to pay for the ink
on the foreclosure document.
The sale was scheduled to come
off at the usual hour-mid- fore
noon-but when the master of
ceremonies arrived he couldn't
see the auction platform for
angry farmers. What they hand
ed him in the choicest of pigeon
English and massacred Finnish
was enough to satisfy the officer
that any attempt to rush matters
would result in another Little
Big Horn affair with the officer
playing the role of Clusters last
stand. In brief, the communists
recruited from the New York
Mills section were out in full
force and prepared to sovietize
the sheriff and his deputies-di-
vide them up between the COM
munists present. The sale was
adjourned.
After holding communion
(verbaD with the judge, whose
name bellies his Americanism,
warrants were issued for the
ringleaders, George Jensen, pres
ident of the Ottertail County
Holiday Association, James Fow-
Ter, vice-president of the COMMIT

was given 90 days and one hun
dred dollars, the vice-president of
the United Farmers was discon-
nected from the association for
SIX months and separated from
two hundred dollars; and then
the judge made slip:
Instead of handing the avowed
communist agitator a double dose
OF Kowkosky justice, he slipped
the youth the same size package
as he gave the president of the
Holiday associatlon-9O days and
one hundred smackers.
The Smith person he smacked
down for ten dollars and ten days
because Smith having seen the
error of his ways, pleaded guilty
to the charge of disturbing the
peace

Now pipe down, you fresh an

Hout's farm machinery, because
when a farmer gets peeled of his
planting and harvest utensils he's

take the veal outlets too. But
Dad didn't yelp for some for
eigner to bring his mob and a
rope for the sheriff. The old man
grinned behind his full beard and
took another reef in his "gallus. "
Farm mortgage foreclosures are
bad medicine, bad for the farmer
and just as bad for the business
man. No one loves farm mort
gage foreclosure, not even the
sheriff. / know none of the prin-
cipals in the Perham drama, but
I'll wager five dollars against ten
cents that Sheriff Henke of Fer
gus Falls, who had charge of the
sale, was well acquainted with
farmer Gust Hout and felt about
like fellow who had been
caught robbing a baby's tin bank
when he went to take legal pos
session and offer for sale, the
farmers tools and machinery.
But he had no choice in the mat
ter. We have our choice of two
