Thomas E. Latimer

The city of Minneapolis and the
state of Minnesota have lost useful
citizen in the death a few days ago
of Thomas E. Latimer, former mayor
of Minneapolis. His untimely death
at SO is widely mourned.
Mr.. Latimer rose from poverty to
gain an education in law by his own
efforts. He knew what the labor
ing class of the country needs and
he set about in measure to give
it aid whenever possible. He served
as mayor of the states largest city
Minneapolis-from 1885 until 1887
and was a prominent figure in the
Farmer-Labor Association
Even though a storm broke around
his head in the party when he sought
the Farmer-Labor endorsement to
succeed himself as mayor and even
though he failed at the primary in
favor of his Farmer-Labor opponent
he was gracious throughout.
In his term as mayor he gave nc
quarter and asked none, he was q
fighter and a fair one, the latter ex-
preston was credited to him by {
Minneapolis newspaper whose polit-
ical policy was opposed to his. There
fore his fairness was recognized ir
the enemy camp and its magnitude
and WOrthinesS is enhanced by the
fact.

Uncle Sam To Learn
Of Unemployment

The administrator of the National
Unemployment Census states that
everything is now in readiness for
taking the national unemployment
census next week. Much of the work
will be done through the post office
department; practically every postal
employee in the country will come in
for his share of the gigantic task On
Tuesday, November Is, the post Of
flee department will make every eff
fort to deliver an unemployment re-
port card to every dwelling within
the range of its delivery system, as
well as card to every boXholder in
the post office. If more than one
report card is needed in dwelling
additional ones can be secured from
any city or rural carrier or from any
post office. Any one failing to re-
ceive report card may secure one
at the post office.
This registration is intended for:
l. Persons who are totally unem-
ployed, able to work and want work
2. Persons who are partly employed
and want more work.
3. Persons who are working on
WPA, CCC or other emergency work
projects supported by public funds.
Persons who do not fall into one
of these three classes should not fill
out a report. If you fall into one
of these classes then fill out the re-
port card at once and drop it in a
mail box or post office (no postage
required). If you do not fall into
one of the three classes then merely
destroy the report card which was
delivered to you.
This is a national census and is
to be taken between the dates of
November 16 and 20 inclusive.
Prompt action is urged of each one
who falls into one of the classes eX-
planned above.
The report card consists of ID very
simple questions. If any one is in
doubt as to how to answer any of
them all postal employees will cheer
fully render assistance. Read the
entire report card before starting to
answer the questions, and take par
ticular note of the explanations be-
low some of the questions, it is adj
vised.

A WORTHY PROGRAM
Editor ASkov American:

Editor ASkOV American:
The contributions to your columns
by A. E. Gustafson of Pine City, and
eminent housing program are worthy
contributions. All progressives may
not agree with Mr.. Gustafson regard
ing the Duke of Windsor's purpose
in America as is seen by the atti-
tude of the A. F. of L. and others but
cannot be denied.
A government housing program in
America based on the Wagner-Stea-
gall law could remedy much of the
slum condition of our large cities.
When we realize that many children
of the working class in the cities
have no other Fairgrounds than the
cutters, that they never see grass
or flowers, that families live all their
lives in fear of being trapped by fires
like rats, it seems unbelievable that
anyone approves of such living con-
ditions for humanity in this so-called
civilized nation.
Cooperative housing achievements
in countries like Sweden, Denmark
and other enlightened countries meet
with the approval of progressives
who are looking toward better liv-
ing standards for humanity
The amusing contribution of one
Gratino is evidence that he resents
the boosts given our great president,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, and his friend,
the great governor of Minnesota,
Elmer A. Benson. GRATING sounds
like a voice from the not so long past
"a message from supporter of the
Hoover and Coolidge administrations
(who can forget them?) and their
political philosophy.
Does Gratino feel that his opposi-
ton to this progressive program does
not square with the progressive minds
of the citizens of Pine county or why
does he not sign his name to his anus
ing contributions?
l find Mr.. Gustafson getting many
favorable comments on his interest
ing letters on the subject of housing
and feel that we should have more
letters to the American on this
worthy and interesting subject.

Part of The Truth

Much has already been said about
the increased farm income for farm
ers throughout the nation, but re-
cent figures announced in the daily
press in regards to the Minnesota
farm income increase, rather causes
one to ask, why not tell the whole
truth" Of course the farm income
in this state for the first nine months
increased over the same nine last
year and we cite the released figures
to show that they did. According
to those figures the first nine months
of 1886 netted Minnesota's farmers
S237 $4,000, while this year they
Melted them 1921, 100000. That shows
an increase of S277, 900 which sounds
large on the surface but in reality,
basing it on the number of farms in
existence in the state in 1880, it
means just S1.50 per farmer more
this year than in 1886. That just
represents the price of years sub
scription to the ASkov American.
Yes, there is an increase in the
farm income, but what does it mean
W lllS dNSI age Adl liiCi 1iiS iieaSiiiii-
cry he buys; the food he buys; and
practically everything he buys to
maintain that farm and his family
has risen in price. Therefore, we
again say that the daily press and
other news sources should announce
the whole truth or keep the announce
ment as to the farm welfare to them
selves.
It has always been thus. When
a depression comes the farm pocket,
the wage Garner and the small bust
ness man is the first to feel it. Then
when recovery comes these same peo-
pie are the last to feel it. Wages
and income of the masses of people
lag in the wake of rapidly rising
prices.
What is the remedy? Well, pos
sibly there will have to be more
regulation of industry. We do not
like the prospect, but it seems to be
inevitable that legislation must be
adopted to keep the prices of the
things we eat, the things we wear
and the things we use within a sensi-
BILE proportion to the prices of the
things we raise and produce.
Yes, Minnesota farmers have S1.50
more in their tills than they had from
the same sources a year ago, but 1t
won't stay long.

THE DUKE CANCELS A TRIP
(The MINNEAPOLIS Tribune


The Duke and Duchess of Windsor
decided to postpone their visit to the
United States under circumstances
which can not help but provide the
curious with ample opportunity to
speculate on what prompted the de-
cision. The duke himself admits the
postponement became necessary be-
cause of grave misconceptions which
have arisen and misStatementS which
have appeared" about the motives and
purposes that prompted his projected
tour. Since the people of the United
States would welcome the duke and
the duchess in the fulness Of their
sentimentality and intimate curiosity,
he need not have remained away on
their account. But they, unlike the
duke, have a great many other things
to keep them occupied.
AS he had previously outlined his
purposes in coming to America the
Duke of Windsor declared himself to
be interested in labor and housing con-
ditions in this country. He was mere
ly coming here to study and for an
unemployed king for whom time must
occasionally hang heavily that is I'M
doubtedly a laudable purpose. The
fact that the former King of England
would not be able to do much about
what he found, and in 81 days would
not have much time for real study,
was probably not important.
AS an inspector" the former King
of England is undoubtedly one of the
best trained men in the world today
Ever since he was young boy, as
the Prince of Wales and later as
king, the duke has been inspecting
everything from kiltie guards and
hospitals to slums and coal mines.
Most of his public life has been de-
voted to just this sort of business
In the course of years of training he
has become proficient in adopting
the regal inspection manner, wearing
the right costume for the task and
making as many as four quick changes
in day and then winding up work
with the right remark committing him
to little or nothing This is an art
which we have not been able to foster
to the same extent in this country
as the English have and it is to be
regretted that we are not to have the
opportunity to see the duke in action.
Our politicians have always had
something lacking in their inspection
manner and unquestionably the duke
could have helped them.
If there has been a misunderstood
ing the duke has, Willingly or I'M
Willingly, contributed to it in select
| ing Charles Bedaux as his chaperon.
It appears that Mr.. Bedaux, according
to Baltimore labor union, is an "arch
enemy of labor" Whatever may be
the truth about Mr.. Bedaux's adap-
tation of Taylorism, it would appear
that the duke attached great deal
of significance to the opposition that
exist to Mr.. BedauX. If the alliance
was a purely innocent one the duke
should not have permitted it to stand
in the way of his education. What
ever career the duke may be planning
for himself it must be obvious that
his visit to Germany and the Amer
lean fasco have given it a setback
This is to be regretted but somehow
the United States, the American
working man and the duke will have
to struggle along as best they can

RESTORATION
Editor AskOV American:

Again thanking you for this open

Tin this case) most vital subject be-

land and tax system. Mr.. Rasmussen

high up the ladder. Land is the
source of all our existence, all our
needs, it is natures storehouSe and
therefore must not be monopolized
The children who are born have a

civilized community we must, and

paid for. The advanced thought on
that need is to pay according to bene-
fits received This is reflected in

then, since land is the gift of the

to exact payment from any individual

Petitions Favor A
Short Deer Season

A number of petitions containing
hundreds of signatures have been re-
ceived by Herman c. Wenzel, Com
missioner of Conservation, asking that
no change be made in the executive
order establishing six-day deer
hunting season this month.
The order sets the deer season from
November 20 to 25. Twelve counties
and portions of four others will be
open.
In the petitions is cited that "deer
are plentiful and that short season
is in the interest of good conserva-
ton and protection to the foundation
brood stock"
Commissioner Wenzel recon-
mended the short season following a
survey conducted by the Game and
Fish Division
