decision under the assumption that
the federal government has no right
to control the business activities OF
any state. Can you point to single
state which is capable of controlling
its entire business activities effec-
lively irrespective of any other state
or states? Can Minnesota control the
prices of it's raw materials or the fin
ished products of its consumers? Can
Minnesota control the distribution of
her currency? Can it control the
price of realities? Can it control and
tax effectively the gross and net earn
iDgs of corporations whose subsidi
aries branch out toward the four cor
ners of our nation? Now, my friend.
answer these questions, and you'll pos
sibly discover that your economic
man is national unit and not a
state unit; that his Vitality comes
not from the heartbeat of any par
ticular state, but of the Union. You
will probably then realize that our
state government, as great a unit of
government as it may be, is totally
helpless in its attempt to cope with
our economic and social security un-
less it can operate effectively through
the federal government.

NO NEED FOR COUNTY AGENT
Editor AskOv American:


1t has been brought to our attention
that a certain element or class of in
dividuals, are working on the county
commissioners to secure apprOpria-
tions from the county funds for main
tenance of a county agent in Pine
county. We are all familiar with the
work and program of the county agent
i'm the past. We were told to raise
more and better crops, which was
good and we'll. The American people
needed it. Now that the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture has reversed
the plan of raising more on our Amer
lean soil, and has adopted plan OF
importation, so that we may take the
Test of our life with ease, are we then
tC employ a county agent to dictate
the amount of acres we shall put TN
der soil conservation. We ought to
know that ourselves. So much for
that at this time.
The Holiday Association conducted
a ballot system year ago in this and
other counties of the state. The bal
lot read: do you favor county agent
system? Yes or Mo- 1t also con-
tanned other questions. Every farmer
that we approached we suggested that
they sign the ballot to their own opin-
ion, and SO per cent voted against the
county agent in Pine county. | still
have the lists and ballots on file. We
admit that roads were snow-bound so
that all farmers could not be seen.
but it seems to be the general opinion
that fifteen hundred dollars year
can be used for much better purpose
payers money.
How about grading up a few miles
of roads every year for that money
that would be an asset to the county
and its inhabitants, or how about the
old age pension to take effect the first
OF March? l presume those old people
Will be met with cold answer that
there is no money available as far
as the county is concerned, although
we hope that applicants can be taken
care of.
Regarding old age pensions, it is a
national issue and should be taken
care of entirely by the federal govern
ment, because some states and coun-
ties are not able to meet their obli-
cations, and many old folks at their
retirement age may want to go and
| live with some relative in a different
state. Under the present set-up of
residence it would deprive them of
their pension
We are still snowbound in this part
OF the county, but arrangements are
made to hold a Holiday meeting in the
near future. Past experience proves
to us that there is lot of work to
be done this year both in the eco
monte and political field. Do not lot
the red scare keep you away. Those
using the red bait will soon find them
selves showed to the side. We are
working for better future for The
agricultural workers and we shall

HOW THIS COUNTRY CAN STAY
OUT OF WAR

Editor Askov American:
The refreshing atmosphere of in
ternational good will, combined with
united action against war and Fas-
cism, must replace the camouflaged
war propaganda that now finds its
way through our controlled daily
press and other avenues. The whole
truth will protect us and make us
free
Instead of the gambling. graft. and
greed of rugged individualism" we
must build cooperative society
whose Industrial, commercial and fl
nancial processes will make for peace,
THE love of money is the root of all
evil"
The present system of exploitation
throughout the so-called Christian
world is contrary to Christian doc
trine. Exploitation breeds war. To
deny the possibility of peace is to
deny the existance of a Creator.
America should at once pass rigid
laws to cover the following points:
%. No person or persons in Amer
lea shall sell arms, munitions, or i'm
plements of war to foreign persons
or governments.
(2). American loans to foreign per-
sons or governments should be made
at the lenders own risk, as should
also be true of American investments
on foreign soil.
81. In case foreign nations are at
war, no American loan to or invest
ment in any bellieerent country shall
be made; and American citizens shall
travel on belligerent ships or in bel
ligerent countries at their own risk

dom and liberty are not fully appre-
ciated if not thoroughly understood
1t is not necessary that we all be
college and university graduates, but
we should lift the masses through
universal understanding. No govern
ment is better than the average of
its citizens.
With better understanding and
more alertness on the part of all citi-
zens, it is doubtful that manipulating
and fixing would creep in and exist,
such as was done by Hobson of the
Associated Gas & Electric Company.
The congressional investigation gave
light to his methods of pocketing mil
lions for himself through holding
companies, while stockholders of the
Associated Gas & Electric Company
received no dividends. No fair minded
and honest person can defend such
actions.
With more common knOwleds e on the
part of all our pc pie, the proposal for
government ownership of munitiOn
factories could be put through. PeO-
pie do not want war, and if the pro-
fits from war were eliminated. it
would greatly reduce the possibility

not as happy. Health should be the
first consideration of a state.
The Farmer-Labor party vote in
1884 showed strength over former
years, in that there was more unity
of action. There was less singing
out and voting for certain individuals
and overlooking others carrying the
same party label. AS party there
has been steady gain and leaders
look forward to an even better show
ing of party strength this fall.
Political party growth, like any
thing else. must be by degrees. We
must have our feet sOlidly on the
ground, fundamentally right. and
then go forward, step by step. We
must have district and state victories
and several more millions of voters
before we can expect to take in the
entire nation Decisions of the SUI
preme Court and activities by the
present national administration will
have much bearing on the strength
of national third party movement
this year.
