MEXICO CITY. January pa
new plee by the Catholic Church lor
Restoration of religious freedom IN
Mexico" went before the government
today.
In a petition by Msgr Pascual Dlaz'
Archbishop of Mexico. and ail otner
members of the Mexican episcopate,
the church asked President Lazaro
Carderas to restore Catholic churches
seized or closed, to prevent anti
religious propaganda to to force re-
peal of regulations limiting religious
functions.
List Claims.
To support its claim that religious
persecution exists in Mexico" the
church set for the following state
ments:
That while Communistic propaganda
Is distributed with all liberty. relig-
ious education and propaganda can
be given only in churches or homes,
and that even the homes in which
such education is given are subject to
confiscation under the law.
That the aid of the government is
to prevent new generations from re-
ceiving religious education las has
been declared in official speeches and
documents"
That in effect religious work is not
permitted even in homes or churches.
Priests Limited.
That in many states churches have
been closed and in others the Legis-
latures have drastically limited the
number Of priests, or even all the
clergy.
That the law does not guarantee
the right of the church and the
people" to make use of the existing
churches or build new ones.
The petition of the church was
dated November %, last, but was made
public only yesterday.
In view of the governments replies
to similar previous petitions, informed
sources said they expected if any
answer were given to the present
communication, it would be a fiat
refusal to modify the religious laws.

the Children's Bureau of the United

that very alarming increase in the
number Of children employed in many
of the larger cities has occurred since
the invalidation of the MIRA due to
the decision of the United States Su-
preme Court No increase has oc-
Cured, however, in Minnesota. In
fact the Division of Women and Chill
dren reports a decrease in the num-
Der of children employed in mechan-
ical employment. Public sentiment for
enforcement of compulsory educa-
ton law up to 16 years, a rigidly en-
forced minimum wage Law for minors,
and the Interpretation of the work
mems compensation act as applicable
only to legally employed minors have
been deterring factors in the employ
ment of children.
Although the standards set for the
employment of children by Minnesota
statutes are not as high as in sew
eral states of the United States, they
do represent a bulwark which has
effectively protected children against
exploitation to the point of permitting
them to leave school at IA years and
allowing them to work without mini
mum wage protection as may and as
does occur in approximately 30 states
of this country.

State Capitol News
BY A. l. HARRIS

Just when does liberalism cease
being "bolshevism" and become re-
spectacle?
The newspapers have been herald
ing a Republican state platform
which they boosted has decided lib
eral tinge. These same newspapers
a few years ago-will the citizens
forget?-were, figuratively speaking,
melting to lynch law against those
persons who dared express liberal
political sentiments. They didn't call
it liberalism but Russian radical
ISM
Of course, those familiar with poll
tics, those who have observed the con-
duct of the Republican group in the
State Legislature, know how unkindly
the reactionaries take to progressive
measures This is the group that
for years has fought old age PEN
sion in Minnesota the group
which finally was compelled by a
Farmer-Labor Administration to en-
act an old age pension law, and when
it was forced to do so, it made the
law as obnoxious as possible. And
even this law would have contained
vastly more obnoxious features had
not the liberals fought tooth and
nail to eliminate some of them from
the bill.
Why not have little honesty in
our political campaigns? Why always
deceive the people? The conserva-
tives represent a certain philosophy
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1936-04-30

of government; so do the liberals. No
one will contend that the conserva-
tive is not entitled to his view. If
he believes that the people are in
capable of ruling and that govern
ment should be controlled by those
of wealth, and run in the interest of
wealth. he has a perfect right to
such belief. If the conservative be-
lieves that we should have democ-
racy in form but not in fact, one may
disagree with him but not deny him
the privilege of his point Of view.
But why should a political party,
which is grounded in conservative
and reactionary principles, make a
false liberal appeal because it detects
liberal tendency on the part of the
people? The intelligent voter will
lose his respect for the Republican
party-the party of Hoover and
Coolidge and not of Lincoln-when
it begins posing as a liberal polit-
ical party.
OF course, this liberalism is only
a pTeteHSe, us ulSLohosIy 10 hA"hi
fest. The platform says the party
would laid agriculture but says moth
ing about the Frazier-Lemke bill.
They would remove the state levy on
real estate, but what would take It's
place? The reactionaries do not want
a tax on wealth-individuals. corpor-
ations, and utilities-as the liberals
propose. They want sales tax-the
tax on poverty which the Governor
vetoed-but they do not want the
people to know it. They sense that
it would not be a popular thing to
let them know it. They do not want
the public in on their ideas at all; in
fact they go to great lengths to con-

Whether the new deal is RESPONSE
BILE or not, there is a decided in
crease in new financing of both do
nestle and foreign corporations, re-
ports S. Paul Skahen, commissioner
of securities.
In accordance with the applica-
tions for the sale of securities filed
with his Department during the
month of March, there was decided
increase of new financing over the
corresponding period of the past year
This Mr.. Skahen believes, evidences
desire on the part of people having
funds to invest them in legitimate
enterprises.
Immediate financing appears to ap-
ply to new enterprises and additional
capitalization of old corporations
This is in direct contrast with financ-
ing of the past year, which comprised
almost wholly refinancing of existing
Indebtedness rather than putting of
new capital into new or existing bus
inesses.

This is the worst season of the year
for driving on graveled roads, accord
ing to the engineers of the State
Highway Department. Frost bOils. or
masses of ice layers which have
formed beneath the roads during the
winter, are now breaking up and the
driving surfaces break up at the
same time.
There is little which can be done
in these cases while the frost is COM
ing out, but afterwards the bad spots
can be quickly put in good shape
again. The only cure for frost boil
trouble. the highway engineers ex-
planned, is to change the character OF
the soil where the difficulty occurs.
Filthy soils produce the worst frost
boil conditions. If the filth can be
replaced with gravel, a firm, per-
manent base is formed, and very little
trouble is experienced.

Sleepy Cat. desert town OF the South
west. 10 celebrating the Fourth of July.
Jane Van Tambel. beautiful daughter
OF Gus Van Tambel, hated owner of
Gunlock ranch, has arrived from the
East for the first time. She watches the
Frontier Day celebration in company
with DR.. Carpy. crusty, ender-hearted
friend of the community. Henry Sawdy
of the Circle Dot ranch, tricked in .
fake horse race the day before by Dave
McCrossen, foreman at Gunlock, plans
revenge. He enters Bill Denison, q
handsome young Texas wrangler. in
the rodeo which McCrossen is favored
to win, and lays heavy bets on him.
Unknown to the crowd, Denison is
a champion horseman, McCrossen and
the young stranger tie in the various
events. McCrossen picks up a hand
kerchief from the ground riding full
speed. facing backward. Denison cas-
lily follows suit. Denison then drops q
cigarette carelessly. Racing down the
track full tilt, hs picks up the ciga-
rette. The verdict goes to Denison
when McCrossen refuses to attempt the
stunt. Entreated by. the crowd, Deni-
son agrees to perform another trick.
Jane Van Tambel is asked for her
bracelet and throws 1t on the track.
Just as Denison rides to pick 1t up a
yell from Barney Rebstock. a Nc
Crossen henchman, scares the pony,
nearly costing the rider his life.
Gun play is prevented by the inter-
vention of DR.. Carpy. The young
stranger returns the bracelet to Jane.
Back on Gunlock ranch after two years
in Chicago, because of her fathers ILL
ness, Jane gets lost riding in the hills
and meets Denison, now a neighbor,
who guides her home. Not knowing
her identity, he speaks bitterly Of Van
Tambel. She tells McCrossen who
brought her home and he denounces
Denison as q cattle thief.

1t nettled her foreman. Hes the
worst enemy your father ever had in
this whole country. He's probably stole
more Gunlock cattle than all the
rustlers in the hills"
II don't believe it."
"All right, DON'T" exclaimed Nc
Crossen, nettled. "Just ask any of the
boys around the ranch"
Jane rode into Sleepy Cat next morn
ing with Bull Page, and when she had
dispatched her business at the bank,
she walked up street to Carpy's hotel.
She asked for Doctor Carpy, whom
she remembered from her visit two
years before. The doctor had a private
Office, entered both from the hotel lob
by and the street.
The doctor was somewhat surprised
at the sight of this trim, erect girl,
eighteen or nineteen years of age, and
seemingly stranger, facing him. OBJ
viously she was q newcomer to Sleepy
Cat; the doctor did not at once place
her. But his glance swept everything
about her like flash-her cowboy hat,
her red, open-neck blouse with its
dark flowing tie; her sloping feminine
shoulders; delicate, pleasing bosom and
slender, rounded hips; her short brown
riding skirt and her soft, tight-fitting
tan boots. The rig seemed right for
her brown hair and blue eyes. @Doctor
Carpy3" her voice was clear and her
manner possessed.
Carpy nodded Despite his years, the
sight of trim, girlish womanhood al
ways stirred the blunt old surgeon to
graciousness. The doctor doffed his
hat and set his bag down on the
desk with an air OF satisfaction. I'm
Doctor Carpy. But I'm glad to see you
don't need me or any other DOCTOR"
why, Doctor" exclaimed Jane de-
murely. There was sophistication in
the delicate droop Of her eyelids, as
she protested, that did not escape the
doctor. It deceived him only as to her
age. that's hardly complimentary,
Doctor Carpy," she ran on. "Have you
forgotten Frontier day two years ago
when we sat here on the porch to-
gether and in the rickety grandstand
to see the riding2" Her eyes were
laughing. Doctor Carpy was fiustered.
"What Ia your name?"

He knit his brows. "Why, that's

porch and took to the races. I'll be

into full bloom. Full bloom !" repeated
Carpy in undisgulsed admiration.
"Where've you been ever since?"
I'm Chicago. You look exactly the
same, Doctor"
"Can't say feel exactly the same,
Jane" he said His eyes still rested
on her. "How long we're you out last

"Only two months or so. But I'm out
