There Are Other Objectionable
Features of CCC Camps

In article 'Negecting the Unemployed" printed
somewhere else in this ISSUE Edgar Syverud objects to
having CCC boys sent into the county to finish work
the Medicine Lake dam.
Here is one time when agree with Mr. Syverud He
Is right when he objects to this work being by CCC
workers when there so much work needed for the people
living in the county.
However Syverud objects only on the basis that CCC
boys are outside workers, not residing in the county It
seems he would have objection local boys were sent
there to work for dollar day. He loes recognize that
to still lower level
IL seems that he is also perfectly in ignorance as to
other characteristics of the CCC camps which to workers
and farmers are strongly Objectionable What about the
htar1stc features of the camps Mr. Syverud? Have YOU
no objection to the preparation of cannon fodder?
Perhaps you are not convicted that the main objective
OF these camps is the training reserve army of soldiers
However you must know that the war department s in
charge OF these camps Did you stop to think why?

Resolution to Herr Hitler

The following resolution unanimously
adopted by the delegates to the Sioux Falls con-
ference. 1t was sent to Hitler and to the Ger
man ambassador in Washington:
After having received with great indjgna-
ton the report of DR.. Kurt Resented, former
Socialist member of the German Reichstag, on
the situation in Hitler Germany and the persecu-
ton of anti-fascists,
''We the 400 delegates from the farms of 10
states, gathered at the Farmers Emergency Re-
lief Conference at Sioux Falls, March 1921 Wig
Orously and emphatically protest these persecu-
tons We protest the enslavement of the Ger

WHAT FASCISM HAS BROUGHT
TO THE FARMERS OF GERMANY

Editors NOte-The following
is taken from the speech deliv-
cred by DR.. Kurt ROsenfeld be-
fore the Farmers Emergency Re-
lief Conference March 26, at
Sioux Falls. DIR. ROsenfeld was
minister of justice in Prussia in
1918, and a member of the Ger
man Reichstag I'D to the advent
of Hitler.

er. Fascism reveals itself to the
farmers as the enemy of those in
need and the champion of capital
istic interests.
Corruption
In fact, the farmers are even
forced to give up potatoes, milk
and eggs, without pay, to support
other classes of the population who
are in need. And the whole sys-
tenn is corrupt. The products
squeezed from the poor farmers
often enough disappear on their
way from the country to the city
into the bottomless pockets of the
Nazis.
Interest Slavery
The farmers were also promised
emancipation from interest slavery
That is, the Nazis promised that
they would decrease, or even dc
away entirely with the interest on
mortgages. But they don't tall
about this any more. They are
trying to convince the farmer that
the mortgages no longer belong to
private capitalistic banks, but t.
the state. Although the only diff
ference in the Third Reich be.
tween now and before is that now
Nazis sit, as bank directors, in the
comfortable club chairs and limou-
sines of the banks.
The farmers slavery to THEN
creditors has become even worse
A law of November, 1884, declares
that creditors who have supplied
farmer with fertilizer or seed
have such a lien on his crops, and
in fact, even while the harvest is
still standing in the fields. The
farmer can SOW, and he can work
in the fields, but the creditor can
take away the harvest. That is
what Hitler wants.
The farmers were given a fourth
promise: A reduction of perhaps
even the complete adjustment of
taxes. That is. of course, out of
the question now.
Hereditary Farm Law
But something has really been
given to the farmers which they
never had before-the Hereditary
Farm Law.
What does this law state? It
states that the farmer no longer
has free possession of the land
and soil which he has either in
herited or bought. He can no
longer dispose of his land as he
wishes. he can no longer sell it,
divide it, or burden it with a
mortgage.
Today in Germany, farmers
land can be sold, divided among his
sons. or burdened with a mortgage
only with the permission of the
government, or of the government
controlled farmers organization.
This law is supposed to guarantee
the farmers property against the
claims of his creditors, and against
a decrease in size when Inherited.
A beautiful idea. But how does
it work out in reality?
The Hereditary law was passed,
supposedly, so that "the free far
mer could own free SOIL" In re-

BOARD SELECTS
 TWO TEACHERS
 FOR NEXT YEAR
However, One of Previous ly-Elected Candidates.
 Turns Down Bid

Election Of two more new teach CTS and announcement that one pre- viously elected instructor had de- clined a bid featured the meeting of the Juneau School Board in At torney Grover c. Winn's office last night. Officers for the Board during the ensuing year also were chosen
 At the last meeting of the Board, three of eight vacancies to be filled before next fall were elected, and Byron K. Miller, music instructor, and Miss Dorothy Jane Bourne, grade school teacher, have accepted the elections, it was announced.
 However, Miss Thelma Stephens, who had been chosen to replace Miss Mildred Logg, resigned at the end of this teaching year, has re- fused the Juneau bid. The Board elected Miss Madge Fox, gradu- ate of the Colorado State Teachers College to take Miss Logg's high school English classes. Miss Fox holds Bachelor of Arts degree and has taught English for six years in Greeley, Colo Before her teaching career, she was employed for two years on Denver newspaper.
 Studying Now
 She is now completing her Mas ter's Degree at the University of Idaho in Moscow Miss Fox, if she accepts the Juneau offer, will teach English, some physical education classes, and will be school librarian. The other position to, be filled last night by the Board was that caused by the resignation of FL bridge Rector, seventh grade in- structor. K. R. Ferguson of Eu- gene, Ore, was named as Rectors successor. Ferguson is a graduate of Oregon Normal School at Mon mouth, Ore, and he also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree at the Uni yersity of Oregon. While a student at Eugene, Ferguson was the offi- cial cartoonist for the Daily Elmer aid, student newspaper. He also was secretary of the local Young Mems Christian Association
 Ferguson has had three years of grade school teaching experience, having instructed at Lynn, Ore, and Mildred, Mont. At the latter place he also was high school athletic coach. While he will fill no such place in Juneau, if he accepts the bid rendered him last night, he probably will assist in coaching. He specializes in basketball and track.
 Miss KoIasa Leaves
 But the Board, although tenta- lively filling two positions. really only gained one, because Miss Mary Kolasas request for leave of ab- sence for one year was granted This will necessitate the election of another grade school instructor Miss Kolasa teaches in the fourth grade. She requested her leave for study purposes.
 Five positions still remain to be filled, providing the two chosen last night accept. The vacancies, in addition to Miss Kolasa's. are for: Harold E. Regele. high school sci- ence instructor and athletic coach; Miss Mariette Shaw. grade school principal; an addition to the grade school staff; an addition to the high school staff.
 The Board also underwent rel organization for the coming year. RI E. Robertson, now travelling in thei States, was reelected president 4 Walter P. Scott, newly elected mem Y Der, was named Secretary; and Grover c. Winn was reelected treasurer.
