DON'T NEEDLE NOW

Sometimes it is good thing to
leave we'll enough alone. At any rate
let us not be too hasty in always
wanting to make changes.
The homestead preferential act be-
came law in the 1888 session of the
Minnesota Legislature when the pro-
gressive forces controlled the House.
1t is a good act and can we'll be de-
Tended Farms up to value of 81 900
full and true, are now assessed for
real estate taxation purposes at 20
per cent instead of 33 1/3 per cent
as formerly. Village and city homes,
plated property. up to a value of
at 25 per cent instead of 40 per cent
as formerly. The value above the
$4,000 full and true, in the case of
both rural and urban homesteads, is
assessed at the old rates.
The ideal behind that amendment
in the law is good one. 1t is to
promote and encourage home owner
ship. The more homes that are owned
by the occupants the better. folks
take more interest in their own
homes. and no nation is greater than
the homes.
But it must be remembered that
many laborers and farmers are rem
tiers and in arriving at the rent they
are to pay, the tax upon the property
is naturally taken into consideration
Therefore the difference in assess
ment is now great enough. Sugges-
tions have been made that the assess
ments for real estate taxation pur-
poses should be reduced to 10 per cent
and Is per cent on homesteads or that
the tax should be wiped out entirely
That would make the difference in
taxes on homesteads and other real
estate too great And where would
the needed governmental revenue
come from?
For instance in a township where
there are practically only homesteads
to tax. where would the revenue come
from to uphold the local government
the schools and the county expensei
The same could be said of the smaller
villages. Other forms of taxation
must first be provided for before VIC
go too far with good ideals.
Sometimes we hear complaints or
the homestead preferential act from
those who may own two or more
residences upon which they pay taxes
But those folks have the same priv.
ilege as any other home owner. There
is one place they call home and upor
that they have the lower assessment
the same as others.
The act is good one as it stand:
now. but let us leave well enough
alone for the present.

MUNICIPAL PLANTS
public Ownership

When you read that a municipal
light and power plant in a city of
5000 furnishes light at from to 4
cents per XVIII, and power at from 4 Il
cents down to .014 cent;
And, further that that city applies
to the state commission for a reduc-
tion in rates;
And, still further, that the same
city has no bonded Indebtedness and
$15O,000 in the treasury;
You have definite proof, in spite Of
oft-repeated assertions to the con-
trary, that a small municipal plant
need not be failure; that it does not
have to charge high rates; and that
it can and does help a town to throw
off it's financial burdens.
The particular town we cite is Au-
burn, Ind, but it could we'll be any
one of hundred or more towns Of
equal size operating its public utilities
in as strikingly successful manner.

THE HAYMARKET MARTYRS

(Ine Minnesota Union Advocacy
Forty-eight years ago. on November
II, five Chicago Labor leaders died on
the gallows to satisfy the blood lusts
of Chicago newspapers and organized
industry. These five men were the
victims of the Haymarket bombing
during bitter strike at the McCor-
mick harvester works when union La
Dor clashed with an army of strike
breakers herded by the infamous
Pinkerton Detective Agency.
The issue was one of union recog
milton and an eight-hour day. The
Chicago Tribune and the Daily News,
mouthpieces of big business, had
whipped the city into fury of pro-
test against the demands of the strik-
ers. A corrupt police administration.
working hand in glove with strike
breaking agencies. had dictated a
policy of clubbing skulls at the least
provacation. On May 4, 1886, pro-
test meeting was held in Haymarket
Square. A drizzling rain had set in
and the meeting was about to close
when 200 heavily armed police charg-
ed the crowd. Guns blazed and a
bomb was thrown. Seven police Of
ficers were killed and SO wounded.
Six men were arrested, all of them
Labor leaders. Day after day the
Chicago Tribune demanded that they
pay with their lives. Their attorney
was ostracfzed and driven from prac-
tice I'm Chicago; mobs stormed the
court room, speakers called upon the
courts to avenge the murder Of the
seven police officers. Evidence was
introduced and admitted by the state

SUGGESTION TO ROAD OFFICIALS

Editor Askov American:
l wish to suggest that it is possible
to leave strip of snow at least six
feet wide and six inches deep on the
south side of the east and west roads
and also leave the same on the east
side of the north and south roads for
the purpose of the man who wishes
to use sleigh to go to and from
his neighbOrs or to go to town to
haul his products and get groceries
and provisions. This especially would
help the farmer who lives back from
the highway and cannot get through
the side roads with a car.
Now this may seem queer to some
but put yourself in the other mans
place. l hope this problem will be
given honest consideration and it
probably will help one and all. Give
the poor man an equal chance on the
road as he is also a taxpayer.

JUST DUES

An old age pension law will be
enacted in the special session OF
the Minnesota Legislature which con
venes on Dec. 2. That is almost a
foregone, conclusion as the express
purpose of the special session is to
work on social security legislation
and enact tax revenue measures to
provide the necessary funds.
The federal government will pay
up to a maximum of SIS per month
to each of the senior citizens. II
the state contributes $40 or SIS to each
that will be S25 or $50 per month,
or from $50 to $50 per month for an
old couple. That may not be as much
as some would like to have it, but
if the old couple have home that is
paid for the $50 or $50 per month
will be welcome, and in a large per-
centage of cases they will be more
happy and contented than they have
been for long time
The revenue must be produced from
somewhere and there is no use of
biting off a bigger chunk than we
can handle. AS time goes on the
old age pension law will be i'm
proved. Some of the European coun-
tries have had the law for 80 to 40
years and have made improvements
right along. 1t has been delayed long
enough here in America and it is
high time that we have it. But to
expect a perfect law right away is
of course more than will be accom-
plished so quickly. Adjustments must
be made
The ideal old age pension would be
to make it available to everybody
rich and poor and in betweeh-all
alike, so that everyone having arrived
at the stipulated age-say 65-would
make out the application and feel
free to go to the county treasurer,
or whoever is to make the payment,
and ask for it each month. That
would remove any feeling of relief.
dole or charity. Having lived so long.
and whether the applicant has served
in great or modest capacity. he or
she. should feel free and proud to re-
Ceive his or her stipend.
The real wealthy with big incomes
would in most cases not make out the
application and ask for the old age
pension, but if they did it would not
amount to much. There might be a
fair percentage of the people who
could get along without the pension
but would ask for and receive it.
That would be the hindrance to MAX
ing it universal to begin with for the
cost to the state would of course be
greater. Nevertheless it is a good
ideal, and not impractical in the long
run, so eventually, if not now. it will
likely be put into force.
Old age pensions should be paid as
a matter of right and TIE underlying
principle should be based upon recog-
milton by the state that services have
been rendered by applicant to society
for which he or she has not been
adequately paid.

DOWNING THE SALES TAX

Though conservative and reaction
airy politicians succeeded in foistins
the general retail sales tax on the
people of several states, folks are get

Thanks to the leadership of Governor
Olson in Minnesota and the progress

not become law in those states.

The American communist party is

of the soviet government and which
is still housed in Moscow with gov
ernmental approval and cooperation.
The executive secretary of the Com

testified to the Mccormack commit
tee under oath that his party was
"a section of the Communist Interna-
tional," that it participates in all
gatherings which decide the policies
of the Communist International and
sends delegates to various confer
ences in Moscow.
In December, 1888, one month after
Maxim Litvinoff had pledged our gov
eminent that Soviet Russia would
cease attempting the overthrow of our
form of government the executive
committee of the Communist Interna-
tional sitting at Moscow, Soviet Rus
STA, adopted resolution of the 'thir-
teen plenum' which reads as follows:
There is no way out of the general
crisis of capitalism other than the
one shown by the October revolution,
via the overthrow of the exploiting
classes by the proletariat, the con-
fiscation of banks, the mines, trans
port, houses, the stock of goods Of
capitalists, the lands of the land
lords, the church, and the crown"
This resolution was approved and
adopted on January 16 and II, 1884,
by the Central committee of the Com
munist party at New York City, and
by the national convention of the
Communist party at Cleveland, Ohio,
in April, 1884.
Section of the constitution of the
Communist International reads as fol-
lows: party questions may be dis
cussed by the members of party and
by party organizations until such
time as decision is taken upon them
by the competent party committees,
after decision has been taken by
the congress of the Communist Inter-
national, by the congress of the re-
spective sections, or by leading COM
mittee of the comintern and its var
ious sections; these decisions MUST
be unreservedly carried out even If
a section of the party membership
or the local party organizations are
in disagreement with it."
The Communist party of the United
States is a section of this Interna-
tional and as such it is subject to
the control and the direction, first
of the world congress of the Commun-
list International and, second, of the
executive committee of that body.

munist party of the United States is

Not to be outdone in celebrating Easter, the native congregation of the Methodist church filled every seat to listen to the special Easter program provided by Miss Dorothy Russell and the Easter message of Rev. Norman McCay. The singing of special numbers by the choir and a translated song by Eskimo women was especially unique. Three in- fants were baptised at the evening service.
 This church is certainly doing wonderful work in a quiet way among the native population of this city, and those who are concentrat- ing their time and energy can well feel proud of their efforts as shown not only by the attendance and in- terest, but by the good work and deeds that follow their leadership.
