EXPENSIVE FOLLY

The latest United States navy dir
igible disaster, the sinking of the air
ship Macon off of the California coast,
it is not time that the navy stopped
spending money on such expensive
folly as the building of dirigibles.
The $4,OOO,00O craft plunged into
the sea after mysterious mishap-
an explosion or disabled gear have
the accident. Whatever the cause it
seems that this disaster can only re-
emphasize he futility of navy tinker
ing with these lighter-than-air craft.
Had this been the only case of its
kind there might not be adequate rea-
only one in series. In 1888 the
airship Akron plunged into the Allan
tic with a loss of 70 men. In 1925 the
dirigible Shenandoah crashed in a
storm in Ohio with a loss of IA lives.
Fortunately in the case of the Macon
small. Latest reports indicate that 81
OF the SO men aboard were saved.
The "crackups" of these huge air.
ships should be enough to make those
responsible for our naval policies
think twice before going ahead with
any more of these ships. The money
cost of one of these wrecks alone is
tremendous, to say nothing of the
loss of life. Furthermore. there
seems to be considerable ground for
debate as to the usefulness of these
ships i'm war. Their great size OBJ
viously makes them far better targets
for enemy guns than the much small
Ter airplanes. In addition they are
slower and lack the maneuverability
of the planes. requiring elaborate
landing and mooring facilities.

A USEFUL SERVICE

The Boy Scout movement is this
year observing it's 25th year in Amer
lea and it has truly been a movement
of useful service, not only to the boys
participating but to the people as
we'll. On February 8, 1910, the Boy
Scouts of America was incorporated
in the District of Columbia and the
filing of those papers in Washington
marked the launching of a movement
that, in the quarter of a century that
has passed since, has come to have
unique place in American life.
The Boy Scouts of America seeks to
build character and to train for citi-
zenship and to do it through an in
teresting program of leisure time &C
tivities for boys in which they shall
learn by doing.
Not only has the scout movement
their fellowmen but it has trained
them how to be of better service. 1t
has not only taught them to do good
deeds consistently and sincerely but
it has taught them self preservation
and the preservation of others and
many are the lives that have been
saved or prolonged by first aid meth
DDS which have been one of the fun
damentals of scout training.
The past Of the movement can be
ture may be wished upon it.

GLASS HOUSE INHABITANTS
(AuStiD Americanl

The holier-than-thou Republican
press Is outrS ged to discover that
state employees are contributing a
small portion of their salaries to sup
port the Minnesota Leader, official or
gan of the Farmer-Labor party. Be-
fore these sanctimOniOus papers ex-
pIode from spontaneous combustion it
might be well for them to investigate
the source of Republican campaign
funds.
When election time comes around it
becomes the duty of certain persons
in the reactionary forces to ''fry the
fat" out of vested interests which
would benefit by a reacionary ad-
ministration. Naturally enough these
interests are not going to part with
their money without some return. So
the cash is passed out by the fat boys.
But every nickel of that cash must
sooner or later be sweated out of the
hide of the worker, the farmer, and the
small business man in the form of
lower wages and higher prices. So
the parasites on the body polite very
neatly allow the worker to pay for the
privilege of cutting his own throat.
The Farmer-Laborites are at least
frank in getting their campaign ex-
penses directly and from those who
will benefit by honest, progressive
government.

THANKS TO IVA

Evidence that the Roosevelt admin
istration's program for the develop
ment of pmblicly-owned electric power
plants is having a powerful effect is
given in recent dispatches from Wash
ington. These indicate that a con-
siderable number of the leaders Of
the private utilities in the country
are preparing to cooperate with the
national administration by reducing
the price of electricity to the do
nestle consumer.
1t has been the contention of Pres
ident Roosevelt that public power
plants, giving lower rates for electri-
city than those now charged by GER
tain private utilities, can serve as
"yardsticks" to measure the proper
cost of electricity. When private
rates are too high, the pressure from
plants can force them
down, according to the presidents
theory. This is the philosophy under
lying the great power development OF
the Tennessee Valley Authority, as
well as of other phases of the Roose-
welt power program.
If. as now seems likely, the private
power producers are coming to the
view that they must cooperate with
the administration and reduce rates,
the presidents efforts have won a
great benefit for the consumers of the
country.

OLD AGE PENSION
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
What is pension? After wages or
after salary! Pensionnat, a boarding
house for prepared board and room.
Pension is something which is paid
for either in service to community,
state and nation and not fully paid
for on the spot or as in the case of
a pensiOnnat paid for usually in cur
rency, in both instances value for
value. and not charity. A pension is
paid because it is earned whether the
pensioner has accumulated a fortune
or not, and no questions asked, that is
fair and square. That Is, the system
We live under now as far as it goes
regarding public officials.
Now comes the question, are old
people who have been honest and hard
they should not have it. This re-

Justice and not charity should be

BECOMES IRONICAL
ditor ASkov American:

EQltOr ASkOV American.
Farmers income has been raised
so many times on paper since Roose-
welt has been elected that farmers
are about beginning to appear to be
the richest class of people in the
United States, and for a good meas
ure the President made it possible
for a large number of them to be
put on relief rolls besides.
To my way of thinking farmers will
be in and out until about some time
in 1896, when a Republican governor
will be elected and friends, things
will begin to happen. First Of all
the unemployment problem will be
solved by employing the unemployed
loafers, hoboes and farmers that are
too lazy to work now They will sud-
denly reform and begin to work. Fac
tories and capital that moved out Of
the state since Governor Olson got
elected will make a sudden appear
ance on our horizon in the form Of
solid procession of hundreds Of
trucks, moving vans and model T
Fords coming back to Minneapolis,
giving employment to hundreds of
thousands Of additional men who are
now on relief at the expense of Min
nesota taxpayers. Wall Street will
reinvest billions of dollars in new
factories, remodeling old breweries
and smoke houses, which in turn
will bring back to US the prosperity.

We once more become loyal citizens,

Farm Holiday units will be dis

A CHANCE FOR THE CITY
SPORTSMAN
minneapolis Tribune)

The Tyler Rod and Gun club is
urging city sportsmen to send contri-
buttons for pheasant feed to friends
and spOrtsmen's organizations in the
regions where they hunted last sea-
son. In many portions of the state.
despite the earnest work of conserva-
tiOnists, there are nowhere near suf-
ficient funds to save the pheasants
from starvation. Extreme cold and
unusually heavy SHOWS have combined
to make the plight of these game
birds particularly acute this winter.
The Tyler club has established a num-
Der of feeding stations, but its means
are limited, as are those of many
other similar organizations which are
coming to the rescue of these game
birds.
The suggestion that city sportsmen
bestir themselves and despatch funds
to the areas where they hunted last
season is therefore not without point.
This would be more than friendly
gesture; it would be one dictated by
every consideration of self-interest.
The city hunter does not have merely
a seasonal interest in the pheasant;
he has a year-around interest. He
must share the responsibility, with
those in the rural districts of the
state, for conserving these game birds
and protecting them against the haz-
ards of winter.
This is not to say that many city
sportsmen have not given generously
of their time and money to promote
this good work, for they have. The
establishment of feeding stations
around Minneapolis by members of
the Izaak Walton league is a con-
spicuous case in point. But the fact
remains that the need for feeding
funds in the country lis still urgent,
and that it is of vital concern to city
sportsmen, hunters and conservation
lists to see to it that this need is met.

WHY NOT CHRISTMAS SAVING

given the following: Christmas saw
ings clubs have proved very popular
during the last few years. Recently
it was reported that close to one mill
lion dollars was paid out to individuals
in Minneapolis, who joined such clubs
in 1884. Doubtless these payments

for through them we pay only the real

This brought to he memory of the

GOVERNOR OLSON'S THIRD
INAUGURAL
(The State NewS)

Hc oUdIe NtWS)
Governor Floyd B. Olsons third in
augural message to the state legisla-

Governor is not trimmer, so to speak.
Those who were fortunate enough to
hear his message were impressed with
his honesty and sincerity. 1t was not
the message of a man feeling his way
he was sure of his ground and GER
tain of the goal he strives to reach.
He spoke to the members of the leg
islature as fellow citizens, not as che
politician to another. He drove home
his points effectively and left no sug-
gestiOns which he offered under
cloud. His recommendations were
based upon condition which the
thinking men and women in Mime
sofa know exists not only in this state
but in the nation.
The Governor met every important
problem which today confronts our
state and nation unflinchingly. There
was nothing evasive or indirect about
his stand upon the tax question, thu
power question, the public utility is
sues or any other of the important
issues which the 1885 session, if it
does not shirk it's duty, must face.
