Finland. The eight others decided
to gang up against the United
States and refuse to pay interest
or principal on these so-called war
debts.
It must not be forgotten that to
many of them the loans were not
war debts at all, but moneys ad'
vaned to put them on their feet
after they had become indepen'
dent nations because of a war
which was won by American mill
tary intervention.
Doughty little Finland with
stood the pressure of the cabal. She
hired the money" and she would
pay it back, no matter what the
others did. And this she has been
doing regularly.
The other night I was in a
group, discussing the notes of Fin
land and its meeting its install
ment of a quarter of million dol
lars, and the notes of England and
France, limiting at a wish for a
compromise.
But" argued one man, Fin
lands debt is small. She doesn't
compare with the Others"
That's not sO," said another.
"On basis of population, money
received and the value of it to
the country receiving it, Fin
lands case is no different than

Finland recently, and they do
not think that they are doing
anything out Of the ordinary.
In fact, they don't like to be
praised for paying their debts.
We pay all our debts they tell
you, because we believe debts
are payable when due. We
would expect the same treat
ment from any one who owed
us money
How does Finland get this
wsy?" you may ask.
Well, Finland's Self-reliance and
fortitude are not virtues which
she has recently acquired. Not
unlike Ireland, Finland has
fought through the centuries for
independence and preservation of
race.
win Independence
For 700 years the FtnnS lived
under the yoke of Sweden and
Russia, but in these 700 years
they never gave up their fight.
After the Russian Revolution of
1917, they won their independ-
ence from the Bolsheviks with
the aid of a German division, for
which they are grateful still to
Germany.

REVENUE GAIN
PREDICTED

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Dec. 31.-A considerable in
crease" in the amount of revenue
to be derived from the sale OF
State revenue licenses in Arling-
ton county for 1887 was predicted
today by County Commissioner OF
Revenue Harry K. Green on the
basis of new business enterprises
that have located in Arlington
during the present year.
Revenue from this source during
the year ending today showed an
increase of 19 per cent over that
of 1885, Green said. He warned
merchants and others subject to
the license tax to fill in and return
the license application forms now
being distributed prior to February
/. Those who fail to comply with
this regulation, he said, will I've
penalized an additional 10 per
cent.
Revenue licenses in Virginia are
required by the following:
Amusement parks, carnivalS,
moving pictures, architects, attor'
neys,atlaw, auctioneers, bowling
alleys, stock brokers, building and
loan associations, collection agen.
cies, commission merchants, com
mon criers, contractors, credit
unions, dentists, engineers (civil,
mining, mechanical and electri-
caD, garages, hotels, junk dealers,
laundrieS, lodging houses, mer-
chants Wholesale and retaiD
pawn brokers, peddlerS, photog.
raphers, pistol dealers, pool and
billiard rooms, real estate agencies,
restaurants, slot machines (such
as are authorized by law), soft
drink manufacturers, tobacco re.
tailerS and undertakers.

Steel Industry Shuns
U. S. Navy Bids

der 80 the same blank situation
presented itself. One large outfit
said there was shortage Of copper
and would not bid.
Couldn't Accept It
Another trouble in the Navy's
lap is the fact that bidders on a
huge floating drydock for the Pa
cific, largest thing of its kind, a
drydock which would permit han
ding of a battleship, turned in a
bid so high that the Navy could
not accept the figures at all.
The Navy is not at all sure that
the reticence Of manufacturers is
entirely on account of the stringent
requirements of the Walsh Healey
act. They say that there is now
plenty of private business in the
country and that the steel and
copper concerns can get all the
business they want without coming
to Washington to bid on Govern
ment business.
They also say that there are
several bids for the needed mate
rails in lots less than $4,000, but
these do not add to a total large
enough to meet the Nays pres
ent building needs.
At the Labor Department it Is
said that the Navy Is the only
Government department having
trouble with the WalSh-Healey
act: but it is understood also that
the Labor Department made some
concessions in the case Of Army

taxes are paid, they will have extra
money to pay off an additional bond.
AS for Bruno, we were wise to the new
Interpretation (which saved for Bruno
about $4,000 in supplemental aids in
one year, and we levied accordingly.
Hence there is great difference.
The high levy at Willow River is
therefore mistake and is not neces-

take and levied So mills too much.

SCHOOLS VS.. COUNTY POLITICS

Editor Askov American:
During the past few weeks four
very nasty letters by two COM
missioners from the north end of the
county have been published.
AS l understand it, these letters are
not approved by any of the other COM
missioners or county officials in Pine
county.
In one of these letters l found over
80 lies, Misrepresentation and false
insinuations. The other three letters
contain about the same proportion of
untruthful statements. These two COM
missiOners are fully aware of most
all the facts but they choose to mis-
represent them for certain reasons.
So these four attacks really need no
reply, yet l feel that it would be UNI
fair to those who are not properly in
formed if we did not from time to
time list some of the most important
facts of interest to the honest public.
People should be entitled to know.
In my recent answer to one of these
four letters a short time ago, l
brought out the following points:

FOR MORE SAFETY

More safety on the highways OF

Public Safety committee and to aid
and promote this laudable movement
the month of September-the most
hazardous month for motorists
been set aside as safety month" A
proclamation by the late Gov. Floyd
B. Olson was issued proclaiming Sep
TENDER as safety month and this pro-
clamation has been refreshed in the
public mind by the new governor.
Hjalmar Petersen.
Gov. Petersen this week issued the
following statement:
lone of the last official acts of the
late Governor Floyd B. Olson was the
issuance of proclamation calling
upon state officials, county and NUM-
cipal authorities and the courts to
support the campaign of the Mime
sofa Public Safety committee to re-
duce traffic accidents in September.
1.-The proclamation was issued in
accordance with the laudable coop
GRAFTON and support always given by
Governor Olson to the movement to
curtail the toll taken annually by
traffic mishaps on the highways.
Il indorse and reiterate all that
was expressed by Governor Olson in
the proclamation.
LAS governor of Minnesota, will
do all within my power to aid the eff
forts to Make September the Safest
Month" and to make Minnesota the
safest state"
The people of the nation are aroused
over the terrible loss of life laid to
the automobile and they, who have
become so advanced in modern sci
ence and progress, will not let the
machine which has revolutionized the
world and made for more convenience
universally. rule them. With the
wholehearted cooperation 1.-THE au-

FARMERS MUST 9AGkEE1s
TO MOVE ~.
Facts for Farmers)

Tugwell has not given complete de-
tails on this lOng-program; but he
has indicated that it will involve re-
settling farmers elsewhere. He de-
MES that the government would "com-
pel'' the farmers to move but admits
that they will get no loans if they
do not accept the advice offered them.
If they "agree" to go. loans averaging
about $3.50 per family will be given
out; and they must give sound secur-
ity for these loans in addition to pay
ing $50 interest. Tugwell specifically
says that the government will not pay
the cost of moving and it will not
pay for farm sites or buildings.
An analysis of these relief meas
ures indicates that they are far from
adequate. They do not give the farm
ers a new start, and they do not safe
guard farm families against eviction
or foreclosure. The winter months
to come will bring increased hard
ship to the burned-out farmers.
Already the newspapers are trying
to maintain that the drouth is "bene-
fetal to the farm belt as a whole
when only !" few days before they re-
ferred to billion dollar losses" The
big profits from drouth prices are, of
course, made by grain gamblers, pack
ers, Gamers and professors. High
prices are no advantage to drouth
farmers who have no crops. The eff
feet of the drouth will be to force
three to four hundred thousand small
farmers off their land unless they
succeed in getting more effective aid
than was given in 1884 or is being
provided for them now.
