Frank B. Kellogg

On Tuesday night at 1928, the
eve of his 81st birthday, the spark
of life passed from the body of Frank
B. Kellogg. Perhaps no man in
modern history has had more varied
and serviceable career as had Mr..
Kellogg. He rose from farm youth
to a figure of international renown.
He was admitted to the bar when
% years of age, served as Rochester
city attorney, Olmsted county at
torney, president of American Bar
Association, United States Senator
from Minnesota, ambassador to the
Court of st. James, secretary of state
in President Coolidge's administra-
ton, and judge of permanent court
for international peace.
He was reputed to be one of the
worlds greatest champions of peace
and upon his death was termed by
an official Paris statement as one
of the worlds greatest men.
He was co-author of the BRAND
Kellogg Peace pact which SO nations
signed and was firm believer in it's
effective operation against war.

WATCH G. o. p.

Editor ASkov American:
After following the G.. o. P. state
convention person cannot fail to be.
come impressed with harmony anc
unanimity of opinion. For instance
the substance of the first four speak
ers could be reported about as follows
First speaker: Down with the
Farmer-Labor party.
Second speaker: Down with the
Farmer-Labor party.
Third speaker: Down with the
Farmer-Labor party.
Fourth speaker: Down with the
Farmer-Labor party.
Convention as whole: Amen
That is harmony.
While the c.. o. P. has become quite
active in the state, it must not be
forgotten that elsewhere the C. o. P
is exceedingly active. A committee OF
about 1875 of the best minds in the
United States has been drafted
mind you, to draw up set of prin-
ciples-to live and die by. 1t is
indeed shame that our old friend
Colonel Sellers, who played a leading
part in Mark Twain's "Gilded Age
is with us no more. believe some
of Colonel Sellers political philosophy
and economy would fit in very well
with what we can expect from this
committee; the sky will be the limit
While, perhaps, the majority OF
the people will have a hard time to
get the necessities of life-a golden
picture of the abundant life will
be pictured lust around the corner
1t may be true that it is necessary
to eat turnips at the present time
but just wait-will be the bait dan
gled before the people.
1t is we'll while enjoying these
dreams, to keep our feet on the
ground and don't forget that it is
necessary to eat all the time. The
trouble with this gilded future is that
there is always a catch in it. Be-
fore we get all this, we have to make
some sacrifices and pull in another
notch in our belts" Most of us can
remember the picture in the maya
zines from about 1929 to 1888, show
ing the working man pulling in an
other notch in his belt and saying
we won the war and built the Panama
canal. 1 can not remember seeing
the big bankers and financiers being
shown pulling in another notch in
their belts. 1t makes a lot of diff
ference as to whom pulls in the
notcheS.

The StOrk Derby

Many who have followed the news
pages are familiar with the now
famous Canadian stork derby which
was to have as its reward the estate
of a wealthy Toronto lawyer. The
prize which is estimated at about
100000, was to have gone to the
mother or mothers bearing the greatest
number of children in Toronto be-
tween Oct 81, 1926 and Oct. 81, 1886
Approximately dozen or more wom-
en- have filed claims to the estate, but
two relatives contested the will and
the supreme court upheld its validity
and it will now rest with the Ontario
courts to decide which of the moth
ers get in on the 'pay-off."
One often hears of wills being
broken because of the makers being
of abnormal mentality at the time
of the making, and it actually seems
to us that something must have been
wrong with the mind of the insti-
gator of the stork derby when he
would draw up such will. 1t might
have been perfectly laudable for him

marketing quota is invoked and farm
ers are required to store up to 20
per cent of the normal yield on their
allotted acreage.
With the marketing quotas in eff
feet the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to make commodity loans
ranging from So to IS per cent of
the parity price and farmers attempt
ing to market wheat in excess of
their individual quota allotment will
pay a penalty tax of Is per cent of
the parity price. Cooperators and
non-cooperators alike are bound by
the quota provision and can be pros
ecuted for failure to pay the pen
atty tax if they are unable to show
that they stored the required amount
of wheat under seal.
The provision affecting corn is very
similar to that under which it is
hoped to control wheat production
except that marketing quotas are to
be invoked when the total reserve
supply reaches 1855 100000 bushels.
The Secretary of Agriculture is per-
mitted to use his discretion in setting
the corn loan rate after marketing
quotas have been invoked as is privi-
legged in the case of wheat, the amount
of the loan to be determined by the
amount of supplies on hand at given
time as stipulated in an inflexible
formula set forth in the bill.
The Senate bill is more drastic in
its penalty of quota provisions than
the House measure, and more lib
the farmer. However, it follows gen.
orally the same method of holding
down production and bolstering farm
prices. Like the House bill it fails
to provide any taxes to finance the
cost of the program and places no
limit on sums to be appropriated.
1t will be recalled that the President
served warning that if the cost ex-
ceeds $500,OO0,OOO some source of
taxes to meet the expense must be
found by the Congress.
Marketing quotas under the Senate
measure are so restricted that Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace has
warned that they may boost prices
out of line with world markets and
damage foreign trade.
The prime objective of the Senate
bill would seem to be parity price
for wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco and
rice, but the bill, in the opinion of
the writer, is contradictory on this
score promising as it does to "main-
tain" both parity and price.
Following the vote on the Senate
floor Vice President Garner named
Senators Smith, McGill, Pope, Bank
head, Hatch, Frazier and Capper to
be members of the conference COM

emotions, pledges and promises of
immediate relief from the load of
taxation, frothy appeals to a frothy
sense of patriotism-and Fascism is
born. So it was in Italy, in Ger
many, Poland, Spain and now in
Brazil. Every modern tyranny be-
gan as a mass movement, as rank
and file crusade, and without single
exception the loud-mouthed advo-
Gates of freedom, civil liberty and
democracy have been the first to de-
stroy these institutions.
MusSolini was once imprisoned for
his socialistic activities. Hitler like
wise served time for disturbing the
peace and melting the rabble to revo-
luton. The mimics of these two in
ternational outlaws have followed
the same course. In Italy the stiletto
silences protest; in Germany it is
the broad axe; in Russia it is the
firing squad that blasts out the lives
of those who refuse to subscribe to
the bloody tenets of communism.
The only difference between Fascism
and Communism is that the Com
munists let their hair grow long.
Their methods are identical with
those of the Fascists. They pirate of
liberty and freedom; they thrive on
martyrs; they exalt peace while arm
ing their own wives and children;
they destroyed every trade union and
every cooperative enterprise as soon
as they gained control of the army.
Labor has a right to view with
suspicion anyone who comes for
ward with a program that is going
to transform this nation into land
flowing with milk and honey. Human
progress is slow-as it should be
and the road is hard and stony, but
that is because human nature has
made the way difficult through greed
and bigotry. No one can undo the
habits of civilization in a year, a
generation or century. No one is
going to transform the present social
structure by either legislation or di-
rect action, and political platforms
which undertake to correct all hui
man, social and economic ills are only
bait for the traps set to establish new
tyrannies. Kerensky, Trotzsky, Lenin
and Stain traded on the misery of
the Russian people. Mussolini traded
on unrest following the World war
and promised to bring back the de-
parted glOrieS of Rome. Hitler, who
is not a German, promised to rebuild
the fatherland and restore it to its
former place among the powers of
the world. All of these imposters
appealed to the frank and file" They
built united fronts" They protested
deep love of humanity. Once they
gained their ends they destroyed the
very things they had enshrined.
There are would-be dictators
abroad in the land today. Labor has
it's share and Labor should beware

CHRISTMAS 1897
Editor ASkoV American:

Editor Askov American:
First of all I want to congratulate
the Askov American for being fair
minded and liberal enough to donate
space for the various discussions that
are carried on by its liberal read
ers. It surely is greatly appreciated
by those who believe in fair play. If
all the local papers were as open
minded as the Askov American, the
common people would soon come
to better understanding in regards
to the economic situation that is con-
fronting us all.
There is no group which is more
exploited by the selfish interests than
the producing classes Farmers in
cluded). About this time of the year
they are fed the noxious propaganda
of "Peace On Eearth Good Will To-
wards Men" It comes from mostly
all dedicated to the maintenance of
social and economic system that
never ceases in sowing the seeds of
war and disunity among men and
nations. Let's take a look at the
world today and what do we see?
The peaceful nation of Ethiopia, was
destroyed by the greedy rulers of
Fascism and from there to Spain and
China. And who knows where the
gods of greed will strike next, de-
stroying innocent women and chill
dren and ripping up whole nations
and leaving in their wake humanity
in misery and want. And the excuse
given is, eve want to save the people
from Communism" Let's take an
other view of Europe. We see the cap
italistic nations quarreling and about
ready to cut one another's Threats
with all the devices of destruction
that science has produced. While on
the other hand the only socialist ma
ton on earth is using its resources
and its scientific knowledge for the
betterment of it's people and is try
ing to keep the peace throughout the
world, and still some people don't
seem to understand the difference
between Communism and Fascism.
Some seem to believe that the
Communists are trying to destroy
democracy. No gentlemen! You are
mistaken, the Communists is the
foremost group working for democ-
racy and security of your homes and
loved ones, so that government OF
the people, for the people, and by the
people shall not perish from the
earth," and can be completely and
permanently held by the people, so
that a few autocratic persons cannot
scar the nation with panic and bring
on recurring periods of depression
(Which they inevitably do in their
greed for profit and plunge us into
war.

1000 Deer Inhabit
ItaScu State Park
Continued from Page y

OF the section, count only those deer
that cross the section boundary. A
deer that is seen by counter but
which does not cross the section line
is not counted. Only the counter
who finally sees the deer cross the
line and 60 out of the section may
count it. Counters on one side all
face in the same direction and count
only deer which leave the space be-
tween them and the next counter
in line.
The drivers count only the deer
that break back through the line,
and which would not therefore be
seen by the counters.
According to Gordon Fredine, game
and fish biologist, there is no basis
for the claim often made that deer
counts materially change the deer
population in region or that they
are driven far from their natural
habitats. 1t has been claimed that
deer counts taken outside Itasca park
would have the effect of driving deer
into the park, but this is not true,
Fredine states.
The counts outside Itasca park be-
fore the deer season were made no
closer than seven miles from the
nearest boundary of the park One of
the counts was 20 miles from the park.
Fredine points out that deer are
not driven in any particular direc-
ton by the counts and that they
frequently break back through the
line followed by the drivers as is
indicated on the diagram.
The counts showed that there were
almost exactly as many deer in
Itasca park after the open season
as before.
Fredine emphasized that Itasca
park conditions are by no means
typical of the state as whole and
are not used in drawing conclusions
as to the deer population in the rest
of the state.

Road Aid

According to an announcement ir
late news sources the beginning yes
terday of distribution of S214, 100000
in federal road aid to the various
states by the Federal Bureau of Pub
lie Roads, Minnesota will be assured
of continuance of its highway con-
Struction program next year and al
the same time 10000 highway work
ers can look for a summers work
The probable Minnesota allotment
from the fund will be S5,538, 900 and
that will finance 10000 man-jobs next
summer as compared to 1000 if con-
gress had withdrawn the allotment
as had been proposed.
The State Highway Departments
share in regular federal aid will be
S3,495 600 for trunk highways. This
will be matched by the state due to
the increase of one cent in the gas
tax; its share in grade crossing elm
ination will be S1,343,000 to which
the state will add $685. 900; the Sec
ondary and feeder road aid will
amount to 100000 to counties which
put up an even amount. Possibly
half of the counties will benefit.
The money becomes available July
l, but allotment must be made by
January l. The unemployment sit
uation in Minnesota will not only
be benefited greatly by the federal
aid allotment but certain amount
of waste will be avoided. Many roads
under the present construction pro-
gram have been built but partly anC
now end abruptly in section of wilc
country and many communities have
partly completed roads. Further
more, when federal aid first begar
coming, highway officials set abou
planning a continuous program o.
construction and improvement, and i
the curtailment of that federal aic
had been enforced much of that which
has been started would have gone fol
naught The state alone, certainly
could not have carried on as planned
unless more revenue be obtained.
