AT D, C. CONCERT
Pianist Has Photo Taken
Seated by Keyboard
By WILLIAM NEWMAN

A sold-out house greeted Jose
1turbi at Constitution Hall yester-
day afternoon and the Spanish
pianist-conductor was so impressed
that he had himself photographed
seated at his piano with the
multitude willingly impersonating
the back-drop.
1t seems probable that this
never has been done before in this
history Of imported art, but, so far
from resenting what another pub
lie might have regarded as bad
taste, good.natured Washington
accepted the pianist's gestured ex-
cuSes and actually applauded the

ASKOV
Similarity of Two Men.

President Roosevelt has nothing on
Carl Eckberg of Askov village, ex-
cept that he gets his toothaches when
he goes fishing. Carl had one re-
Gently, but since the season for fish
ing here is past it was apparent that
he got it because he couldn't 60
fishing. At any rate the President
received plenty of publicity for his
toothache and likewise Carl is getting
some publicity because of his and
that places the two men on even terms
in that respect.
When it comes to fishing, however,
the two men are different; the Pres
ident catches the large ones and Carl
fishes for them; the President has
photographers along in the boat with
him and Carl has to run around to
find one when he makes a catch
However, Carl is one up on the
President in that he resides in Min
nesota and can do his fishing in the
well known Ten Thousand Lakes
while the President must be content
to fish in the pond just off the coast
of Florida.

The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward
Men" The Christmas message is
well known and respected even
though we flaunt it and criticize
mankind for not making it real and
living. We long to hear it again and
we nourish a hope, renewed each
year, that its power may grow in
human hearts.
Peace and Good Will! In agonized
reaction we remember the wounds OF
war and the scourge of hatred We
blush with shame when we think OF
Shanghai and Adds Ababa, of red
purges and Nazi prosecutions, OF
lynchings and racketeering, of mil
lionaires and unemployment. And
we hope that the Christmas spirit
may help build new and different
and better world.
But the Christmas message not only
reminds us of the great wrongs OF
the world. Its message is direct and
personal; it is for me and my neigh
Dor. 1t reminds me that I have
wronged, that this wrong can be made
right, and that 1 have a neighbor
with whom 1 must make peace. II
reminds me that 1 can do something
to help my neighbor, and that be-
fore 1 have shown him peace and
good will, have no right to hope
for peace in the world.
Can we not do our bit by making
someone happy in our home COM
munity? If we all try, all should be
helped. We will then experience
the double blessing and the double
joy-"it blesses him that gives and
him that takes" And the spirit of
Christmas will come to fill our homes
and our community.
And even as the Christmas story
tells us of the beginning of divine
life on earth, so should the "peace
and good will" of Christmas mark
a new beginning in our life. We all
need to begin anew and we all need
to grow in the spirit of that begin
ming
May the real JOY and happiness of
Christmas come to every home and
every individual in our community!
o holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
o come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.

The Christmas Seal sales in the
Askov schools this year reached a
new high. The children sold, in all,
1880 of the colorful little seals bear
ing the double-cross and the bell
ringer. This total tops last years
record by approximately Sc. Not
only do the pupils enjoy selling these
seals, but they also receive prizes
of various sorts for their efforts. Such
prizes include games, balls, bats,
books, etc. The annual Christmas
Seal campaign helps to furnish much
needed medical care for sufferers
from tuberculosis and at the same
time is of great educational value to
the school children who do the selling.
The Christmas programs of the
elementary grades were this year
combined and presented together in
the school gymnasium from l to 2
o'clock Friday afternoon. This was
followed by the high school pro-
gram presented by the Scandinavian
l class

of-way property belonging to rail-
roads which is used for industrial
purposes. Action will be taken in
Fergus Falls, according to George
Wallace, tax commissioner, because
in that county several railroads have
extensive right-of-way properties
which are leased for industrial pur-

The state legislatures passage of an
unfair practices act to protect the
independent businessman will be I'M
successful if the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company has its way
in court. The grocery chain, which
operates 81 stores in Minnesota, went
into the federal district court in Min
neapolis this week to plead that the
act be held unconstitutional.
A Minneapolis sportsmen's club did
not like Governor Benson's order
closing Minnesota lakes to fishing
after December 81, in order to con-
serve the stock which fish experts
say is mainly female. The club
caught nine crappies and opened them
in front of Commissioner Wenzel,
hoping to prove the fish experts
wrong.
Were their faces red when eight
of the nine turned out to have spawn
in them!

attack on spectators who rig the
market against American farmers.
81 happen to come from one OF
the most fertile parts of the United
States, the Red River Valley of Min
nesota," Buckler said. eve produce
as much wealth as any other section
of the United States. But after pro-
ducing great wealth for 60 years
we find today that we have very
little of it left"
Trial of the states $75O,0OO law
suit against five subsidiaries of the
United States Steel Company was
scheduled to start this week in ST.
Louis county district court. Attor-
ney General William S. Erwin is di-
recting the case for the state to
collect income taxes, including in
terest and penalties, from the Oliver
Mining Co., the Duluth, Missabe and
Northern Railway Co., the Duluth
and Iron Range Railroad Co., the
Spirit Lake Transfer Railway Co., and
the Proctor Water and Light Co.
The state claims income taxes
amounting to $65O,OOO from these
companies which with the interest
and penalties will approximate $780,
900.
One of the important constitutional
questions involved in the cases is
the right of the state to impose an
income tax upon a railroad oper-
ating within its boundaries. The
states contention that such rail-
roads are taxable will, if sustained,
open the way for taxation of all other
railroads operating in the state which
show net income.
Another outstanding question in
volved is the claim of some 80 sub
salaries of the United States Steel
Corporation which operate in Min
nesota to make a consolidated re-
turn on net income for purposes of
state income taxation. If this claim
of the subsidiaries is sustained, it is
claimed, they would pay virtually
no income tax at all because some of
the companies show no net income.
An alliance of far-reaching impli-
cations between agriculture and labor
was reached in St. Paul last week
when the powerful Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union and
Labor's Non-Partisan League agreed
to cooperate on legislative program
and in the 1888 elections.
It was the biggest farmer and
labor alliance yet effected on a ma
tional scale. The Farmers Union is
one of the nations big three farm
organizations and is dominant in the
Mississippi Valley and the North
west
Labor's Non-Partisan League is
made up of American Federation of
Labor and Committee for Industrial
Organization units, in the main.
Another important move in the
four-day meeting of the Farmers
Union national board was the de-
cision to send national organizer
George A. Nelson of Wisconsin, into
Minnesota for an aggressive organi-
zation campaign.

State Capitol News
BY A. I. HARRIS

Minnesota officials, led by Governor
Benson, and Minnesota Congressman
were up in arms last week to prevent
the cancellation of federal aid to the
state highway program. The fight
began when President Roosevelt
wrote Congress recently, urging can
collation. of federal highway aid,
which would have crippled Mime
sota's highway program and wiped
out employment for about 10000
men. The regular federal funds are
already authorized for next year, and
their cancellation would bring dis
astrous results to the state highway
building program.
Governor Benson, in a telegram to
President Roosevelt, pointed out:
Proposed cancellation of $500, 900
allotments already authorized to Min
nesota would mean virtual cessation
of a state highway program for which
Minnesota has already levied on it's
motorists to provide state funds for
matching. Protests have been pour
ing in from civic organizations, coun-
ty boards of commissioners, and 9TH
er groups in every section of my
state Cancellation will mean whole
sale diversion, gross injustice to mil
lions of motorists, wasteful deteriora-
ton of trunk highway surfaces, and
an ominouS increase of unemploy-
ment"
Immediate results of Governor
Benson's and Minnesota Congress
mems request to the federal WPA
for more jobs for Minnesota's en-
ployables have been an increase of
several thousand WPA positions on
new projects to the larger cities and
the hard-hit Iron Range, the Chicago
office of the WPA has announced.
The Governor, following confer
ences with city and state relief adj
ministrators, had asked for at least
Is 900 new jobs on WPA by January
l, this group to be taken from pres
ent direct relief rolls. Relief needs
have risen sharply during the past
six weeks, the conference revealed,
and the WPA jobs just made avail
able will be of at least partial aid
in stemming the threat of serious
relief crisis for Minnesota.
In order to combat the threat of
another long depression and to lay
plans for more efficient and bene-
fetal use of state resources, a new
state planning board has been named
by Governor Benson.
Purposes of the board, as outlined
by the Governor, are to "apply human
intelligence to the problems of the
development, utilization, and con-
servation of the natural and human
resources of the state, to the end
that the paradox of poverty in the
midst of plenty shall no longer plague
our citizens"
Named to the board, which is
headed by DR.. Richard E. Scammon,
of the University of Minnesota, are:
Jay HORNED, president of HORNED
Packing Co., Austin, for commerce;
DIR. Raphael Zon, director federal
forestry service, st. Paul, for con-
servation; Charles Egley, Farmers
Union Livestock Commission, South
st. Paul, for cooperatives; DR.. Harl
Douglass, University of Minnesota,
for education; Harold Langland, for
engineering; John Brandt, for farm

eminent; T. E. Cunningham, for
labor; Mrs. Anna Oleson, for public
welfare; and Andrew Hawkins, for
veterans w. r. Sassaman, director
of employment of the Minnesota WPA
