Editor Askov American:
1t is with sincere enthusiasm l notice
in the press that the Governors call
for farm leaders conference will ma
terialize and will be held October 4
in the State Office Building audi
forum and it is to be hoped that
those who really know something
about agriculture, economics and farm
conditions in general will participate,
and take active part in working out
program that will benefit all classes
Of farmers and not only the big land
lords.

ference, as the creameries should be
interested in seeing that the farmers
secure a fair price for their butter
fat and other farm produce they may
have to sell.
The purpose of the conference, the
Governor stated, is to help the farm
ers keep whatever economic gains
they have made by this years i'm
proved crop conditions, etc.
We were told years ago that this
was an excellent dairy section. and
that to back up the brush line pro-
vided more pasture and clover hay
for the old cow. We have done this.
We backed up the brush line until
our backs doubled up. We are pro-
ducing the best grade of butter money
can buy, and the consumer should

Sandstone Theatre
To Show Danish Film

Many remember that the first Dam
ish talking picture, "Sun Over Den.
mark" was huge success. There
fore, Scandinavian Talking Pictures,
Inc, is again presenting a splendid
new Danish dialogue and song picture
EN- Fuldendt Gentleman" (The Per-
feet Gentleman) which will be pre-
sented at the Vogue Theatre, Sand
stone, Tuesday, September %.
With great interest the Danish pub
lie awaited Oswald Helmuth's first
appearance in talking pictures 1t is
the same Oswald, who, with his fine
representations and satirical humor
on the stage, reaches the popularity
which is now his.
In 'The Perfect Gentleman" he
is supported by talented and well
selected cast of Denmark's foremost
film stars, and is given the opportun-
ity to dispel his charm and personal
ity as an actor amidst gorgeous set
tings which only Denmark can pro-
duce.
His Interpretation of a small time
business man, who, after many hilar-
ious episodes, becomes 'The Perfect
Gentleman" the many beautiful songs
and the majestic scenes of Danish
countryside, make this picture the
most outstanding yet to be presented
by Danish film industry
An interesting short film "a Round
Trip Though Copenhagen, Denmark"
tends to make this superior program.

peace officers in the investigation of
crime and the apprehension of GRIM
inals and to maintain bureau of
Identification. Through the joint
efforts of this bureau and local police
officers Minnesota has established an
outstanding reputation for law en-
forcement throughout the country.
They have succeeded in reducing the
number of bank robberies in the state
from % in 1882 to only two in 1886
In performing the functions of his
office the attorney general has the
assistance of staff of highly trained
and efficient attorneys. The members
of the staff are: Matthias N. Orfield
and David j. Erickson, deputy attor-
ney generals; Roy c. Frank, Harry
| w. Oehler, o. T. Bundle, Frank H.
Osterlind, John A. Pearson and Roy
c. Smoker, all assistant attorney gen.
erals, and Louis F. Soukoup, William
D. Gum and Joseph H. Seeger, spe-
cial assistant attorney generals;
Dwight N. Johnson, special counsel
Edgar S. Young, law clerk, and
Joseph M. Donahue, special assistant
attorney general.
In addition to the lawyers who
work in the attorney generals office
there are a number of attorneys in
various state departments who per-
form their duties under the direct
supervision of the attorney general
5000 Opinions.
The attorney generals office writes
over three thousand official opinions
each year interpreting the laws OF
the state. In most cases the inter-
probation which the attorney generals
office places upon law is final Only
small percentage of the laws which
are passed on by the attorney general
are tested in the courts.
1t is thus apparent that it is highly
important to the people of the state
of Minnesota to have in office an Of

Recent news reports have it that
the Duke of Windsor, who abdicated
the throne of the worlds largest en-
pire because he was not allowed to
marry the woman he loved if he re-
tanned it, is about to break with
his home government 1t is under
stood that the government wants to
tell him what places he can visit
and what ones he cannot visit. This
goes against the Dukes strong will
and irritates him. He wants to live
his own life and it might be better
for Great Britain if the government
will let him live it, for it is known
that the Duke has powerful follow
ing in the empire he once ruled and
he might cause greater embarrassment
to the present government than by
being allowed to 60 where he pleases
and to do what he pleases.

butter. Are we getting it? The
average wage paid in Minnesota today
is nothing less than SIS cents per
hour, or more. The same ones who
told us to back up the brush line fig
ured out by survey made that a
pound of butter is equal to an hours
labor, figured at yearly average.
We are also glad to notice that the
Farmers Union and the Holiday As
ISOLATION may amalgamate their diff
ferent organizations. A meeting to
that effect was held at Montevideo
Thursday. Sept. 16, both organizations
being called. and we have heard that
the outcome was in favor of it.

ASKS FOR CLEAR MEANING

Editor Askov American:
l read the article of Emil KnipS
in your issue of September 16 sew
eral times, but I could not get to
real understanding of it.
If he would come out plainly with
it, so such ignorant people such as I
am, could understand it, it may be
that we could learn something from
it. There are a few things in 1t
that 1 can understand; such as when
he says: We choke off the oppor-
tunity of people to produce.
l understand that is done by passing
laws or proclamations not to have
any more produced than will fit the
existing buying power, after same
has been reduced to a great extent,
instead of doing something to make
for more buying power. There would
not be overproduction with suffici-
ent buying power, as people needed
the goods, but could not pay for it
because the profiteerS had taken the
money as profit that should have been
used to pay for it. The above writ
ten is my answer to the first part
of his sentence I will here give it
in full as he wrote it:
1--WE choke off the opportunity of
people to produce unless they first
pay some one for the privilege to
work" The last part of the sentence
is, unless they first pay some one
for the privilege to work"
90 lof hn fhof
unions think they are having mon
opoly on the jobs so others shall not
have the right to work unless they
join their union and pay their dues;
in that way they pay for the job, but
still are in doubt about getting it;
they can get it if they are needed.
That may not be the meaning Mr..
Knips will have it to be, but if not,
why not state his meaning so it can
be understood?
Next after that comes nine lines
beginning with, "Our system of land
tenure is at the bottom of most of
all wars" But there is nothing in
the nine lines to show that, so that
has nothing to do with wars.
To me it looks as if Mr.. Knips
is going after the superintendent of
schools to have him introduce lit
tie religion and politics in the schools,
but we are lucky to have that kept out
of our public schools so far, and let
us keep it out. There are too many
different kinds of it, so it would not
work well.
Mr.. Knips says something about
freeing land from mOnopoly's grip,
but that can be done only by pub
lie ownership of it and that would
be communism. He says untax all
labor products. Every thing we see
is labor products except wild land
but nothing comes from it without
labor so it is valueless; labor is the
only value producer so taxes must
be taken out of labor products. A
building covering city block in New
York hundreds of feet high is, all
of it, labor product. I will give
up the philosophy of Emil Knips
and ask him to explain his opinions
to us in plain everyday talk so we
can get to an understanding of it,
and get some good out of it. That
should be the aim of all writers. Use
common talk as the greatest number
of readers are common people and
are the kind of people who need to
learn.

Principles of Peace

At this time when the world is
"frothing at the mouth" so to speak,
and many nations are ready to spring
at each others throat the words of
Cordell Hull, secretary of state of
the United States, ring with import
ance.
Mr.. Hull, speaking on the eve of
the nations greatest reunion of war
veterans, the American Legion ma
tional convention in New York, out
lined his principles for peace. The
secretary of state said:
THE principles and methods
essential to peace are simple.
They are not those of extreme
isolation on the one hand or ag-
erosion by force on the other.
Il have tried on various occa-
sionS to summarize them to the
best of my understanding; ma
tional and international patience
and self-restraint; avoidance of
force in the pursuit of policy;
non-interference in the internal
affairs of other nations; the use
of peaceful methods to adjust diff
ferences; the faithful observance
by mutual understanding and or
derby process the reduction and
limitation of over-burdening mill
tary ornaments; and cooperation
and interchange in the economic
field
These are the real terms of
peace. This government is
pledged to them"
1t is reaSSuring to most citizens tC
learn that the government is pledged
to the principles outlined by Mr.
Hull and if every nation could look
at the situation through the same
eyes and could interpret condition:
in such manner, young men woulc
not have to face the guns and bay
onets of otherwise peaceful neighbors
Secretary Hull said in Boston re-
Gently that unless economic readjust.
ments were made within the mex
two years, Europe faced an economic
or military catastrophe, but added
that he was confident that the United
States would not become involved il
any war.
He pleaded for an end to unli.
censed forces and return of "reigr
of law" in the world The way t.
this, he said, is through worldwide
liberalization of trade policies on the
principles of equality of treatment fol
all.
1.-THE world needs return to be-
lief in the pledged word, in a reigr
of law rather than unlicensed force
in the supreme value of human rights
and liberties" the secretary of state
said. ut will not do for those ma
tons which desire peace merely tc
cry peace and sit with hands meekly
folded. We must create the kind
of economic world future which al
lows national populations to maintain
adequate standards of living"
When Mr.. Hull speaks of equaliza-
ton of trade policies between nations
he advocates one of the real issues
which could give tremendous influ-
ence toward the elimination of war
Reciprocal trade agreements make for
good progress toward international
cooperation and when we arrive at a
true condition where international
cooperation exists, then the hideous
figure of war will be pushed into the
dim future and we can bend our
creative powers and efforts toward
construction rather than destruction

Alexander Graham Bell obtained
the patent upon his invention on
March 7, 1875, and it has been called

similar patent, but later it was de-

the bulk Of his $1,440, ,829.26 estate
in trust for his widow and son, it
was revealed today when petition

The will, dated January 7, 1888,
sets up a $4,000 trust fund for the
benefit of his sister, Sarah Eliza
beth Austin, who will receive the
income for life. At her death, the
income is to be paid to her daugh-
ter, Marion, during her life, after
which the principal is to become

James Roosevelt for governor Of

Bent on drafting the secretary

FISH IN. GULF
LURE PRESIDENT
BY GEORGE DURNO

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 80 q. 81.
Out to maintain his record as top
fisherman, President Roosevelt
went off the White House yacht
this morning in a small boat for
further quest of deep-sea fish.
The yacht Potomac was an
chored off dry Tortugas Island,
south of Key West, Fla. Early
rendezvous Of pirates, this
Gulf Stream island was the site
of Fort jefferson, Civil War de-
tention camp, where DR.. Mudd
was confined on suspicion Of hav.
ing been involved in the assaSsi-
nation of Lincoln.
Secretary James Roosevelt,
aboard the Potomac, kept Secre-
tary Mcintyre, in charge of tenn
porary executive offices at
Miami, apprised Of developments
in the Presidential fishing party.
Between times the President
discussed with Assistant At
torney General Robert H. Jack
son possibility of a legislative
program that would curb monop-
olies possibly responsible for cur
rent increases in living costs.
There was no official comment
on the speech Attorney General
Cummings made in New York at
tacking trusts and indicating
there should be immediate legis-
lation to curb them.

INVESTIGATION
EXPECTED TO
CUT D. C. BILLS
Million Dollar Drop
Is Predicted

A $1,000, 900 cut In the Potomac
Electric Power Company's 1888
rates today was dangled before
the eyes Of the public.
The Public Utilities Commission
forward to PEPCo the following
order:
"That an investigation be
made relative to the rate OF re-
turn to be allowed the Potomac
Electric Power on its property
used and useful for the con-
venienee Of the public"
RATE CUT SEEN
While members Of the Utilities
Commission we're reluctant to
smplify terms of the order, OBJ
servers took the action to mean
the commission is aiming to cut
PEPCo's rate Of return from 61a
to 8 per cent.
The power company and the
commission now have in effect o
sliding scale for the annual ad-
iustment Of rates. This scale,
which has been in operation for
the past, several years, fixed the
6b per cent return rate.
1t was estimated that with the
rate Of return cut VI per cent, the
amount available for public rate
reductions will approximate
100000.
No time was set in the order
for a hearing on the adjustment
of rates and the investigation OF
the rate of return. It was inti-
mated, however, by the Commits
sion that both the rates and rate
of return will be the subject OF a
public hearing staged in January
with the new rates to go in effect
February !.
PHONE RATE FIXED
The company has a rate base
of $7O,1S6, 900 as of December 81
1886. Under the six and a half
per cent of return the amount
available for rate cut last year
amounted to $504,021.
It was pointed out as signitl-
cant that the Commission already
has fixed the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company's
rate of return at 6 per cent and
probably will follow suit regard.
