SCORES AGAIN

1t has been many day since the
Attorney Generals office of the state
of Minnesota has won so many impor-
tant law suits and constitutional de-
cisions in district, state, and even the
United States Supreme Court as has
been the case under the able leader
ship of Attorney General Harry H.
Peterson, since he took office on
January 1, 1888.
A recent favorable decision to the
state, secured by the Attorney Cen
erals office, was the one in the 18th
Judicial District up in Koochiching
county, tried before Judge Alfred L..
Thuring, involving delinquent taxes
on logging railroad in an amount of
over 100000.
This case grew out of the deter
mination of the State Tax Commission
to collect personal property taxes on
logging railroad that is one of the
Backus properties in Koochiching
county, property that had always es-
capped taxation. Taxes should have
been paid from 1920 up to the present
linquent taxes and reached a very
successful and satisfactory result.
The valuation of the property as
sessed was necessarily difficult to as
certain, but the court completely re-
jected the claim of the company that
its only valuation was salvage as
junk, and made a decision requiring
the corporation to pay fair amount
of taxes on its property. The deci-
sion reached by the court was an out
standing victory for the state. The
case was vigorously prosecuted under
the direction of Attorney General
Harry III. Peterson.
In the logging railroad case it was
Frederic A. Pike, the deputy attorney
general, who did the heavy work. In
other cases it has been Oehler, Erwin,
Orfield, Erickson, Rutchick, Frank, or
others of the able staff with which
the Attorney General has surrounded
himself.
If the case is appealed to the State
Supreme Court it is very likely the
Attorney Generals office will again
come out victorious as has occurred
so often during the past three years.
The State Tax Commission and the
Attorney Generals office have shown
they are determined that special in
terests must pay their taxes as we'll
as others, especially when it con-
Germs property upon which the re-
muneration has been good.

We are all on earth for a reason.

Minnesota is blessed with a rural
newspaper man who is clever in draw
ing out the smiles. He is w. T.
Noonan, editor and publisher of The
| Baudette Region, way up in Lake of
the Woods county. next to the Can
adam border Billy Noonan, as he
is known to his friends, is Repub-
lican but not hide-bound partisan.
But whatever his politics are, he en-
| joys poking a little fun at all political
parties.
In a recent issue of The Region,
he whipped one across on the Demo-
Gratis when he wrote: wv. P. A. prob
ably mean Work Postponed Again,
so that it will last until election
in 1885,"
The Farmer-Laborites were treated
by Editor Noonan in this fashion:
1.-The primary election is less than
ten months away, and Magnus John
son and other governorship impossi-
bilities are getting ready for the
battle"
A few weeks ago the Republican
Minneapolis Tribune stated that ru-
mors were afloat to the effect that
Governor Olson was not in good
health, that he might take a political
vacation and not be candidate for
the United States Senate in 1886.
Billy Noonan gently rubbed it in to
the Republicans by scoring with these
words: THAT looks more like a
prayer than prophecy"
The Baudette pen pusher was a
member of the Minnesota Legislature
as representative for just one session,
in 1923, and said he thought the win

work in the Legislature was to put

heard of Wall Street coming out with
mob foolish talk.) If people do
not ask for the capitalists money
they can be sure not to have it forced
unto them, and before they get it
they must prove that they are having
a clear title to the property they are
giving in security; SO any one can
know from that, that the creditors
are to have the debtors to live up to
the contracts. So don't sign a con-
tract unless you are willing to live up
to same. That is the only way to
avoid that kind of trouble.
Jensen says, by working against
Mob Rule" l am championing the
cause of Wall Street as against the
human right to live.
Whosoever have read my articles
in the american" against the profit
system, know that l am doing my best
to call attention to the profit system
as the worst evil, and how to make it
harmless by an income tax at rising
scale, so nobody would be allowed to
keep any more of their income than
what they need to run business, and
for a living and comfort By that
everybody could get all they need, as
there can be produced more than
enough for everybody. That is the
kind of reform l am working for, as
that is in conformity with the con-
stftution of the U. S., but taking by
mob is not.
If you are in possession of the
American" of July 10, 1895, please
read my article on page four entitled:
Profit System Caused Depression"
and you will see that l am not with
the capitalists only as far as hon.
esty goes.
l know some people having no in
come to live on, but little that they
had saved up by hard work and lost
some of it by bank failure, and the
rest of it they had mortgage for in
property, and needed now to live on in
old age. Then came the state mora
forum law for two years; by the ex-
piration of that came the federal law
to put it off for three years more. II
the congress and the president had
the right to do that, they would have
the same right to put it off 10 years
or more when the three years would
be up, or where would the limit be?
They could get nothing out of it on
account of the unconstitutional laws.
but then came the U. S. supreme
court and made them understand that
it is against the constitution to take
from one and give to another.

Independents Stirred

Independent merchants all over
America are aroused because of dis
closures of the Patman investigation
during the last session of Congress.
Trade journals circulating among in
dependent grocerS, hardware men,
druggists. clothiers. and other groups
have given much publicity to the ex-
listing practices of manufacturers Civ
ing secret rebates and discounts to
chain stores. The Independents for
years have been chief distributors
of the products of these various man.
ufacturers but in the last few years
the same manufacturers have, be-
cause of pressure, extended to the
immense chains. extra discounts, ex-
ira advertising allowance. payment
for windows and employed other dis
criminatory practices which to a con-
siderable extent has been responsible
for driving thousands Of retailers into
bankruptcy and other thousands to
the ragged edge. Many of the indie
pendent merchants who enjoyed sue
cess in the past are today in a sad
plight.
The expose of efforts of the chain
store groups to lead the independent
merchants into an organization which
the chains were to dominate from the
background. wildly brings out the
necessity for independents to have
their own organizations. controlled
and MANAGED by themselves.
The independent merchants o.
America are today the subjects o.
discrimination by the very same
groups of Eastern chain bankers who
control the chain stores, and have

CONGRESSMAN MUST ANSWER
(The Austin American)

August Andersen, Harold Knutson,
William A. Pittenger, Theodore
Christensen, Melvin Mas are the
names of five Minnesota congressman
who will be campaigning for reelec-
tiOn next year on the Republican
ticket. Every one of these gentlemen
voted against the holding companies
bill.
How are they going to justify their
action before the public when they
are making their campaign speeches?
Will they say that they opposed the
measure because they wanted to be
on record as opposing anything, good
or bad, that the Democrats favor?
Will they have to admit that part
of the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars that the utility magnates spent
to influence lawmakers made an i'm
preston on them? Will they say that
the thousands of dollars which Wall
Street holding companies take from
Minnesota each year without giving
anything in return is what they ia
vor? Will they brazenly assert that
faxed kilograms, lodging subpoenas,
payment of exorbitant fees to former
government officials for services to
defeat the legislation is no concern
of others? Will they deny that Pat
rick Hurley, Republican leader and
Hoover henchman, had anything to do
with lining up their votes?

CRY BABIES
(The Minnesota Union Advocate)

(The Minnesota Union Advocate)
Every youngster of tender years is
familiar with the cry baby who yelIs
before he is hurt. And to those who
read as they run through this hectic
life there must be some understand
ing of the fact that big business, Or
ganized industry, belongs to the cry
baby class.
Big business is eager to head off
any legislation which will interfere
with the policies of rugged individ-
ua1ists like the Morgan chain, the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce. the Ma
tfonal Association of Manufacturers,
the American Bankers Association
and their ilk. Big business is afraid
congress may enact some measure
which, like the National Industrial
Recovery Act, may give back to Labor
some of the guarantees of free DEM
ocracy.
And so to head off any interference
with their greedy ambitions, big bus
mess interests are rushing into print
to declare that the New Deal has
put the nation on the toboggan; that
investors have lost confidence in the
government of the United States; that
business cannot revive as long as the
government and the trade unions seek
to dominate; that the faith of mil
lions has been shattered by the at
tempt to outlaw utility holding COM
panies, and that there is too much
government meddling in the private
affairs of business.
Before getting all rolled over these
wild statements Of paid propagan-
dists the public might do we'll to con-
slider the following items from one
days news:
Government securities headed the
list of all securities Offered, and II
issues reached the highest point they
had ever attained even during the
fake prosperity years of Herbert
Hoover. And that same day the U. s.

JOY IN WORK

The Askov American has in the
past few years given editorial express
, sion many times to it's belief that I'M
employment is the greatest problem
confronting the American people to-
day. Folks are happier and more
contented when performing useful
tasks and when they feel that they
are earning their own livelihood.

| legislation which is now being ac-
quired after many years of delay. The
act has been passed by the federal
government and within a few weeks
the Minnesota Legislature. in special
session, will enact legislation which
will make it possible for this state to
receive the federal aid. That likely
means that old age pensions will be
paid beginning in February or March,
or soon thereafter. But even the old
folks who will be provided for with
the $50 each monthly, will feel better
physically if they have some little
work to do around the house or gar
den.
An old settler in the AskOv com
munity, Ludwig MosbRk, is a good
example of how much better a person
feels physically and how much better
he enjoys life when he works.

becomes soft and suffers and pouts

after his return from the European
visit he decided to get back into the
old harness and except for the heavy
work done by horses, he has taken
care of his four or five acre garden
adjoining his home and the nursery,
performing all the work to be done
