bers with Police Judge Guy b.
Knott to do something" about
the state relief set-up.
The meeting was presided over
by Police Judge Knott and Jack
Hartlnger, alleged American Wig
ilante member. Before n course
of action was decided upon the
Commonwealth delegation was
split into three camps, ending in
a quarrel between the Common
wealth reactionaries, Common
wealth liberals and Common
wealth radicals"
Mrs. Patterson's Reply
IL claim the Seattle Emergen-
cy Relief Administration Is max
ing liars, cheats and deadbeats
of our young people," was the
sensational testimony of Mrs.
Hattie May Patterson, relief Of,
fetal, replying to Commonwealth
radicals charges of diserimina-
ton in alloeating relief to unem-
ployed.
Young married couples, IL they
earn cent and relief heads learn
of 1t, are cut off relief" Mrs.
Patterson continued. They can
not pay a single bill out of
their own pockets without get
ting I'm bad"
"What II they'd ever want to
run for office, for mayor" she
naively asked. Their political OPP
ponents would point them out
as deadbeats who never paid
their bills!"
Mrs. Catherine Broden, relief
recipient, also testified, display
ing a one-pound hunk of bone
and gristle given her at her re-
lief depot for Christmas dinner,
and told of "favorites" who had
enough groceries to start store.
Cites Discrimination
Howard Costigan, mmon-
wealth Builders secretary, init
mated that he "knew of cases
where Technocrats, Common
wealth Builders, Socialists, and
some who, by a great stretch of
the Imagination, might be called
Communists" had been discrim-
mated against on relief jobs, and I
wondered If something couldn't /
be done about it.
Judge Knott and Chairman |
Hartinger modestly refused to
commit themselves.
81 have also heard that at
tempts have been made to use
moral suasion to keep unem-
ployed thinking correctly" Costi-
gan declared.
= Il don't know If this is true,
but II it is-now is the time to
know"
Factional Fight
Then the meeting broke up in
to factional fight over the ques-
ton: Shall we investigate Charlie
Ernst's relief set-up as Common
wealth Builders or as private
citizens? and, shall we sneak up /
behind Ernst when he isn't look
ing or give the fullest publicity
to the investigation?
Motions were made, voted, rul-
ed out of order, amended, tabled.
Result: Five volunteers were call
ed for to begin immediate investi-
cation at Olympia. Two respond
ed, three were appointed by
Chairman Hartinger from legis-
lators-elect who weren't at the
meatinp

Worker Killed By
Forced Labor Job
By a Worker Correspondent

SEATTLE, Jan. 3-Aleck Kisil
was a typical American unem-
ployed worker. He always desired
to do the right thing for hu-
man society, as willing worker.
Two years ago he was compell-
ed to apply for the regular starva-
ton relief, issued by the New
Deal rulers, although it CALLED
him to do so. But hunger knows
no pride and Aleck had to eat,
even though he was Sc years old
and born in the Ukraine.
After endless red tape and ten
days of waiting he was given a
voucher, emitting him to $1.20
worth of food every seven days.
On November 10, 1894, the home
snooper" called at his shack and
informed Aleck that, from now
on he would have to work two
days every month for his $1.20
per week diet.
Pulled Stumps
The next day, Aleck reported
at the forced labor job, willing
to do his part. With other enact
ated and starved workers he was
instructed to pull stumps, with
q chain around his stomach.
After an hour on the job, he
gave hard pull on stump and
fell to the ground in agonizing
pain. He got home somehow by
himself and remained two days in
bed with a bad rupture. When
he applied at Harborview (cOun-
ty hospitaD he was told, I'VE
can't do anything for you, there
are too many now, waiting to get
in"
Then Aleck joined the George
town Unemployed Council and
a broad committee forced the
hospital to take him In.
Overdose of Chloroform
On December IA Aleck was OPP
Grated on at his own expressed
wish. He did not survive the op-

ReichStag Fire
Frame-Up Proved

PARIS, France, Jan. Sin a
post series of articles
appearing here in the journal, +"
Karl Ernst, former storm troop
leader who was shot DUNG Hit
ler's blood purge" tells how he
and other Nazi leaders hit upon
this plot to frame-up case
against the Communists and rally
middle class support to the Nazi
party and how he, himself, with
Others, fired the Reiehstag.
The confession has been in ex-
istenee since June 3 when Ernst
realized that he was being put
on the spot" by his fellow gang
sters. In his revelations he tells
of the plot fOmented by GOer-
ing, Goebbels and Heines, and
how he, Ernst, and Others car
ried it out.

burning of the Reichstag. Many
wondered how it happened that
although the fire broke out at
8 o'clock Monday evening, special
editions of newspapers we're in
the streets by 2 a. m. Tuesday
carrying two and three column
signed articles by Goebbels,
publicist for Hitler.
On June 80, Ernst was seized
by Goering's men and executed
at a barracks outside Berlin
without trial.

A careful survey has shown that
average farm are poor layers; one
hen lays 80 eggs in a year and all
of them in the spring; another, with
the same care and feeding and man
agement lays 178 eggs or more.
Therefore, culling out the bird that
is incapable of laying enough eggs to
pay a profit is one step forward in
successful poultry raising:
The nOn-prOducers culled out, the
next step in making money from poul-
try is proper feeding. The hen can
not go to the full capacity of produc-
tion unless she is properly taken care
of, and furnished with adequate raw
materials from which to make her
product Proteins such as alfalfa
leaves, milk and beef scraps, to fur
nish the growing tissue needs; car
bohydrates and fats such as corn,
oats and barley for energy feeds to
keep the hen warm; minerals for the
bones and egg shells and vitamins
to prepent disease; these are found in
cod liver oil and sunlight. Last but
not least, give them plenty of fresh
water or milk to aid digestion; when
these foods are fed in proper proper
tions you should expect results, prov
ing that you are feeding good hens.
To keep down the food costs, Gull,
Gull, Gull. When you are through
culling, Gull again. In order to help
you make more profit from your flock,
l will be glad to help you with your
flock Then you feed them a good
ration, keep records, and see if you
don't make more money the coming
year.

enjoyed themselves.

RENTAL THREE YEARS
Carlton County Vidette)

The Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage
bill was passed by Congress in it's
last days. and has been signed by the
president and is now a law This
law permits mortgagor to turn over
his assets to the courts and then pay
a reasonable rental for three years
on the farm which is his home and
which is mortgaged This law will
probably be of benefit to a percentage
of the farmers. There are some who
really wish to hold their homes and
cannot pay the high taxes and mort
gage debt. However, with the assist
ance given them by other federal
farm loan departments, already in OPP
Grafton. it is doubtful whether this
recourse will be resorted to by very
many of them.

local fire department for advice. Re-
member that the fire department
knows that it is far easier to prevent
fires than to fight fires after they
start.
During the week of October to
IL, make it your main business to
ransack your home from basement to
attic and eliminate as many causes
of fire as you can, and then on Oc-
tober ~ resolve that the next fifty
one will also, each and everyone of
them, be Fire Prevention Week." ad-
vises Dewey w. Johnson, state fire
marshall.
Governors Proclamation.
Gov. Floyd B. Olson issues the fol-
lowing proclamation:
Whereas, the President of the
United States has proclaimed the week
of October 9Th to 18th, 1885, as Fire
Prevention Week, and
Whereas, it is we'll known fact
that the loss of millions of dollars
worth of property each year in the
State of Minnesota by fire is ninety
per cent preventable through the use
of reasonable care, and
Whereas, although the loss to
property is great, the invasion of the
enemy-fre-in our homes, hospitals
and all institutions of human habita-
tiOn means the loss of the lives of
men, women and children which can
not be replaced, and
Whereas, it is common knowledge
that an intelligent system of fire pre-
vention based on proper inspection
and removal of fire hazards, not only
during Fire Prevention Week, but
throughout the year, will result in
saving, not only property, but what
is more important, lives:
Nov, Therefore, l, Floyd B. Olson,
Governor of the State of Minnesota,
do hereby proclaim the week of Oc-
tober 9th to 18th as Fire Prevention
Week and call upon the people of
this state to cooperate with the a.
900 officers and firemen, who so un-
selfshly offer themselves to the
service of the community, in discov-
ering and correcting existing fire haz-
ards, in promoting measures of pub
lie and private fire protection; in ex-
tending fire prevention instruction to
adults and, more particularly to
school children; and doing everything
possible to arouse all the people of
Minnesota to the need of making fire
good friend rather than a bad
master"

sary. Britain may be plunged into
war if she insists on penalties. France
will not follow her on penalties and
may align herself with Italy if Brit
ain, at war, countenances German at
tempts to annex Austria with a view
to increasing Austrian pressure on
Italy's northern boundaries.
Fundamentally. however. the ger
minating issue of the conflict is eco
nomic. Italy, as Gibbons points out,
cannot make economic progress with
out expansion-and Ethiopia provides
the most convenient and profitable
means toward that end. The talk
about covert acts is so much dres-
sing and camouflage to disguise the
basic reasons for war. The patriot
ism and flag-waving encouraged by
Mussolini constitute the "pepfest" by
which Italian youths are led on to
lay down their lives in behalf of the
financial barons who. as usual, will
be well behind the firing line.

DICTATORSHIPS SHOULDN'T
GROW

Editor Askov American:
will thank you for space for the
following letter.
Mr.. Emil Knips, Fairhope, Ala.
Dear Friend: 1t might all be true
what you said in the last Askov Amer
lean about conditions in Louisiana
and l have no doubt it also is true
what the Union Advocate said in the
Askov American, Sept. 10, about Huey
Longs misdeeds. Weeds don't grow
in a we'll cultivated field, neither do
dictators grow in a we'll ordered COM
munity or state. Regardless of all
the good deeds performed by Hitler.
Mussolini, and Huey Long neverthe-
less any dictatorship is weed and
should not be tolerated.
We cannot afford to barter away our
right to make mistakes for any or all
the good deeds dictator might rec
ommend or perform; please notice
what l said about relationships in the
Askov American July 20, 1885, of
which l will mail anybody a copy.

INTEREST DEBT SWAMPS NATION
Mile Laos County, Times)

How interest on the debts is swamp
ing the United States is illustrated
by the following figures:
From 1900 till 1917 the average
rate of interest on U. S. bonds was
S1972 per $1,000, or less than per
cent on an average debt of S1,276,
OOO, 900.
The average rate from 1918 to 1921
had increased to S39.46 per $1,000. or
nearly 4 per cent on an average debt
of nearly twenty billion dollars.
On March 1. 1885, the public debt
stood at 2S,525. 1894 1903.
The total amount of interest paid
on the public debt from 1900 till 1917
was S453,OOO,OOO. while the total in
| terest paid from June 80. 1917 till
March /, 1885 amounts to the huge
sum of s13,514 ,944,272. or very nearly
thirty times as much.
Changed into gold coins, this in
terest money would load 63S freigh,
cars with $4,000 pounds each, and
leave IL million dollars for pocket
change.
On per capita basis, this interest
amounts to less than 81. for the per-
iod from 1900 till 1917. while from
1918 till 1885 it amounts to Sill for
every man. woman and child or SIT
for couple with five children.

are men and organizations. waging
what amounts to sham battle
against dictatorship, who are secretly
trying to bring about the brand of
fascism which obtains in Italy and
Germany today.
"They have been decrying the al
legged muzzling of the press, the al
legged restriction of personal liberty,
the alleged improper invasion of bust
ness by the new deal.
These alleged champions of the old
American ideals contain many who
have been praising Mussolinl as a
strong man and extolling Nazi regen-
Grafton of Germany. They really have
nothing but contempt for democracy.
They have no faith in it. They dis
trust the will of the people, Some
are lobbyists and grabbers who befCul
government.
1T is time they were disposed be-
cause at heart these are the men and
institutions who back up demagOgs
who in turn sell out once they have
gained power. They are the real pro-
moters of fascism-and of the newt
able war into which tottering dicta-
tors plunge their countries.
This lesson is as old as history and
it is never learned. What is taking
place today is what took place in an
cient Greece and Rome. irresponsible
power becomes drunk and marches
to it's own destruction-and that of
millions of others.
This is what Sen. William E.
Borah really meant when he said that
the best hope for peace lies with a
free people,"
