ADVISING VOTERS

The Lafayette Ledger, Republi-
county, contained two-column front
page editorial last week setting forth
their reasons for asking people to
vote the Republican state ticket this
year, and also gave slate of their
preferred candidates in the primary
election.
After lauding Theodore Christian
son, M. A. Nelson and others the Led
ger wrote this about their choice
for attorney general: ben Wenner-
berg is entirely away from any alli-
ances with any of the various groups
that have to do with large city rami-
fications, and as a result would be a
splendid general at the head of the
law enforcement forces of the state"
Maybe the, Ledger is right in that
Mr.. Wennerberg is quite innocent
when it comes to city affairs, but
the cities of st. Paul, Minneapolis,
and Duluth are still a part of the
state of Minnesota. Any state Off
cial ought to know something about
city 'ramificationS."
The editorial brought out that
Mike Holm needs no real lauda-
tory mention now" and this with ref
erence to their choice for state treas
urer:
Julius A. Schmahl is another vet
eran campaigner, and a real public
official. Julius has proven his met
tie as the watchdog of the treasury
and Minnesota taxpayers can be
thankful for his having sat on the
lid the past several years.
Why are the Republicans so thank
full for Schmahl? Is it because their
memory easily dates back to the days
of a former Republican treasurer who
got out of the capitol in hurry?

SYSTEMIZING COOPERATION

Editor Askov American:
Few years ago when Wallace first
began to enjoy his life by putting ad-
mirers of bluegrass under his big
thumb with his Triple A program,
somehow at that time it became ap-
parent to him that he would encoun-
ter some difficulty especially in the
states of Iowa and Nebraska. AS
good business man with a proper slant
on life and with plenty of experience
on how to lead the farmers around,
he resorted to what anyone would call
a sure-fiX system. he approached the
officials of the Farmers Union, CO.
op organization down south, and hired
them at Is dollars day to peddle the
outlawed bunk among its members.
When | first read the article in the
Minnesota Leader, l came to think OF
the same sure-iX system as employed
years ago by the big packers in the
Chicago area. The packers there en-
countered about as much difficulty in
bringing cattle to an enclosure where
they were to be knocked on the head.
bled and skinned, as Wallace had in
putting the admirers of bluegrass UNI
der his big thumb in Iowa and Neb-
raska. The packers with plenty of
foresight on the great possibilities
on cooperation selected a steer and
with special care had him trained and
educated on cooperation, so for their
own benefit he would cooperate with
the other steers in bringing them into
an enclosure, where they were to be
knocked on the head and properly
skinned.
After bringing in the first batch Of
steers he would be led through side
door, and with a smile on his face,
only too glad to do some more CO.
operating, to bring in more cattle for
the same purpose. Those steers that
readily followed him were called loyal
cooperators, and those that didn't
were undoubtedly called radicals and
knockers. When the days work was
done, the final results for the coop
racketeer and the educated steer on
cooperation was that one received a
bride of Is dollars for bringing his
loyal followers to the auction block,
and the other received a longer span
on life for his important work as a
leader. Otherwise the results for the
other cooperators was not so bad since
they followed their leaders without
thinking. They didn't know what
happened to them. Who says we can't
cooperate under a capitalistic form
of government?
Magnus Christensen stated that
sometimes even with false cooperation
something can be done. According to
my opinion l believe that gentleman
is right, but only in that respect that
the cooperator must be money
changer, or one on the inside of the
coop game with fixed salary or one
receiving a bride.

CAN'T ESCAPE

In his column, Minnesota Poll
ties Chas. B. Cheney of The Mime
apolis Journal staff, writes that "a
leading argument against the Young
quist tax amendment is that by
abolishing the direct state levy, the
mining companies would be relieved
of part of their ad valorem tax bur-
den. This line does not appeal to
the Morris Tribune"
about the only objection which
has been raised" says the Tribune
against the constitutional amend
ment abolishing the state tax levy
on real estate is that thereby the
steel trust will save some two or
three millions of dollars of taxes on
its holdings in Minnesota. This OBJ
lection is raised especially by some
of the Farmer-Labor editors, and has
an appearance of validity. But let's
see. The steel trust also pays occu-
pational taxes and royalty taxes, and
in case the amendment passes there
is nothing whatever to prevent the
legislature from levying two or three
millions more in tonnage taxes, if
it be fair and wise to do so. The
objection therefore has no merit, and
the steel trust is dragged in to
muddy the ISSUE"
Reading the Morris Tribune arti-
Gle it sounds very simple to raise
the occupational tax on the mining
companies. 1t should be called to
objection to raising the occupational
tax even if it be fair and wise to
do so, and the objection is none other
than the mining companies Ask
those who have served in the State
Legislature and tried it.

Editor Askov American:
1t is my opinion that the two CAPT.
talist parties are trying to pull wool
over the eyes of the voters in this
coming election by the worst word
and figure trickery the people have
ever witnessed; sidetracking and con-
fusing the people on minor issues, and
cleverly avoiding the real, or basic
issues and problems which cannot be
solved by any program those parties
as yet have offered.
l am not forming this opinion from
any scientific or special training in
social economics, but rather on COM
mon sense which tells me to look
deeper for the evils of the present
system, and also for a cure for those
evils.
What are the three fundamental
needs of the human race? Food
Clothing-and Shelter! There are
other needs of course, but not quite so
important. l take the liberty of pro-

HOUSE IN ORDER

Speaking over at Malmo on the
east shore of Mile Laos lake, re-
Gently, the writer could not help but
note that nowadays it makes little
difference where people dwell when
it comes to keeping abreast of the
times.
The settlement at Malmo was
started in about 1885 so is SO years
old. They have never enjoyed railroad
service but have highways and daily
rural mail service. The Minneapolis
Journal, the Daily Star and other
newspapers are delivered at their
door daily as are also weekly news
papers, magazines and other period
icals. Folks listen in on radio pro-
grams, and so If you want to know
what is going on in the nations cap
ital, Los Angeles, or Palm Beach,
in Malmo as any place in the United
States. They keep abreast of the
times and yet are away from the
hurly-burly humdrum noisy city life.
They go fishing and they enjoy the
out of-doors.
Talking to an old settler, the stable
kind and the type that are the salt
of the earth, the farmer revealed
that he had no Indebtedness on his
place and that he was not burdened
with interest payments. He said that
he and his family had always lived
nd hoI I,
as possible refrained from borrow
ing. Not a bad rule for more of us
to follow.

What becomes of the claims OF
"Americanism" of people who defend
the right of employers in this nation
to hire labor at wages that begin with
three cents an hour? Is this the
kind of Liberty we as Americans
will tolerate?
Forget for a minute Socialism
"COmmunism," "Radicalism," and the

police power of government to com.
bat disease, root out filth, protect the

to promote sanitation. 1t is more
than that-it is the duty of govern

Can government fail to put a

lions, or will it tolerate a system
that breeds not only physical

TALK PENSIONS
IN NEW MEET

SACRAMENTO, May 25. UP
The subject of old age pensions
promised to be placed before the
California legislature in its Spe-
Cial session as a result of assem-
blyman William HornblowerS de-
mand that the dependent aged Of
this state receive q flat allow
ance of SS5 monthly.
The San Francisco lawmaker
led the fight last session for liber-
alizing the state act. and succeed
cd in lowering the age limitation
from 20 to 65 years and increasing
the maximum payment from $50
to S35.
1t was his intention then of
providing a pension of S35 for
each eligible person. but the aver
age payment has continued
around S23. Hornblower. blaming
counties for falling back on red
tape in order to escare paying the
maximum" said he would be ev-
erything possible to amend the
act to provide for a flat payment
of S35.
There will be no opposition to
it in the assembly" he said before
the session convened. and if the
governor doesn't include pensions
in his program. we'll take vote
on the amendment anyway, and
it will make the administration
look pretty bad"
