PROCEEDINGS OF
ASKOV COUNCIL

The regular meeting of the village
council of the Village of Askov was
held February at the A. Henriksen
office. All members were present.
The minutes of the last regular meet
ing and one special meeting were
read and approved as read.
Alfred Nielsen and Arthur Olesen,
fire chief and assistant fire chief, re-
spectively, appeared before the cOun-
Gil stating the need of some new ap-
paratus for calling out for fire. After
some discussion, the clerk was in
structed to order a new fire siren at
price listed at $3.50. Same to be
had on 30 days approval.
The clerk was instructed to write
the attorney general relative to the
legality of the village council buying
road equipment, in conjunction with
the township board.
The following bills were allowed:

be more work to be done before they
are carried to fruition.
The controversy over relief funds
remains unsettled. Various proposals,
ranging from 500 millions to four
billions, are advanced, but the best
guess seems to be that the Congress
will authorize expenditures of up
wards of two billions to carry the
nation through to the next fiscal year.
While this naturally will be concen-

what transpires in the Capitol, but
that of course is inevitable in the

professors of the monies which have
been tied up by judicial action have
made that a necessity. And what Sec
rotary Wallace rightfully calls the
greatest legalized steal in history
is primarily responsible for the injec-
ton of that issue, always unpleasant
for vote seekers in an election year,
into this session. Now it appears that
there is genuine danger of proposals
for sales tax which may yield up

that those least able to pay, even
those on relief and charity, will pay
the burden of such a tax.

and seeking to formulate bill that
by such an oppressive program would
raise 500 to 600 millions of dollars
annually. certain advocates of old age
pensions still blithely go their way
in advocating transactions tax, or
multiple sales tax, which would have
to raise about forty times as much
money in order to achieve its pur-
pose. And yet they intOlerantly call
every one who dares thoughtfully and
sincerely to question the wisdom OF
their plan, they call every dissenter

they should not in the long run.
