IT'S Funny

That voting situation is difficult
nation give President Roosevelt all
but two states in his attempt at a
second term, but now in Tuesdays
election in New York city, the voters
turn down the Democratic candidate
in favor of the present incumbent,
LaGuardia, by a tremendous margin.
In recent months the country has been
swept by the CLIO organization, but
one of the country's greatest indus
trial centers-Detroit- down a
CIO-endorsed candidate in favor of
a man endorsed by the American
Federation of Labor.
Sometimes one wonders if the
voters do know what they want.
They will vote system into being
and then without giving it fair trial,
many times, vote it right out again.
They will sleep at the switch while
exploitation is being done and then
all of sudden awaken and rant and
rave about the system being rotten.
A consistent and enlightening pro-
gram of education is surely needed by
American voters. People today with
empty dinner pals will upon the
morrow, if their pals happen to be
full, forget about the time they were
empty and will not bother to inves-
tigate the cause until they are again
empty. That of course, is like clos
ing the barn door after the horse
is out.
The city elections which we have
commented upon, possibly have no
connection with the comparisons we
have made but they do show the queer
pranks voters play, and too many
times upon themselves

periences with the raiding activities
of the CLIO.
Hardly a single international Of
ficer INDUCED in the debate on the
question of Labor unity. The bit
terest charges the most inflammatory
denuncations and the hardest blows
struck were by representatives of
Labor bodies. They led the fight be-
cause they have all had intimate ex-
periences with the tactics of the CLIO.
The international officers sat back
at the Denver convention. They were
hearing from subordinate unions who
had had contacts with the CLIO, who
knew the raiding tactics of the CLIO,
who had had to contend with the CLIO
in their organizational activities.
One of these days the truth is
going to dawn on segment of the
Labor movement which still listens
to the paid propagandists and the
political shysters whose only interest
in Labor unity has to do with political
unity. One of these days lot of
politicians are going to come face
to face with the necessity of making
decision between the American
Federation of Labor and the CLIO,
and the sooner this issue is forced
upon them, the quicker Labor is
going to learn the identity of its real
friends. The rank and file of the
Labor movement spoke in definite
terms at the Denver convention. It
was not the per capita tax bene-
ficiaries. 1t was the rank and file
speaking through the agencies of state
declarations and central Labor bodies.
1t is high time that the politicians
and the -the-roaders learn
this fact.

THE LAND SHARK MENACE

Editor ASkOv American:
Mr.. Rasmussen says wild land is
valueleSs. Find me one acre fit for
use and I'll find you a speculator
who beat you to it and wants his
pound of flesh before you can touch
it. Why should raw land command
a price if no labor has been. eX-
pended on it? What is land? A
natural element like water. Sup
pose water became so costly it had
to be sold by the quart? Land is
now selling by the front foot in our
cities and commands price that
would make Shakespeare's Shylock
blush for shame Henry George was
right-it is this monopoly of land,
natures gift to all men together with
our foolish tax laws) that is respon-
sible for unemployment and all the
crimes that spring from it. And the
remedy is simply to make land sharks
pay as much for holding" as users
pay for using-just as hotels do
with out-all-night customers. This
will settle the land question, and set
tie it quickly, putting an end to
panicS, bread lines and depressions
for all time to come.

Dairy Herds Get
Needed Attention

TO the Minnesota dairyman long
time, sound, breeding program is being

countrywide herd identification and
permanent record project. This pro-
gram of herd improvement which this
year was initiated by the Bureau
OF Dairy Industry, U. S. Department
of Agriculture, states E. A. Hanson.
extension dairyman, University Farm,
st. Paul, will give to dairymen pro-
duction records and proved-sire lists.
Working through the state agricul-
tural college, and local CTA groups
whose testers identify and ear-tag
animals in the herd, take production
records on the first 305 days of each
cows lactation period and report
their findings, the bureau in Wash
lngton will have data which it will
make available for the Improvement
of dairy cattle in association herds
and provide means by which the
influence of improved animals can
be carried on
Every association member will
have the animals of his herd positive
ly Identified" said Hanson. "These
Identification records, along with all
production records, will be recorded
in his herd book. Proved-sire in
formation will accumulate on every
sire. When sire has five daughters
whose production records may be
compared with those of their dams,
the sire is considered proved. Proved
sire records will be tabulated and
returned to the state where they will
be issued to owners of sire"
Plans to start Cow Testing Asso-
citation in Pine county are under way

REAL DEMOCRACY
,ditor ASkOV American:

Editor ASkoV American:
Bryan, in a speech a number of
years ago, brought out the essence
of Democracy-not to tear any class
down, but to build the whole up to
a higher standard. In other words to
find a way, so that all the people
can enjoy the comforts of modern
civilization. While this has not been
attained, still a great improvement
has been made and if this idea is
kept in mind, great steps can be taken
towards the realization of the true
ideas of democracy.
Dickens, in one of his books quotes
an overbearing official as saying,
there is not much satisfaction in
life unless you know that you are
better off than the other fellow"
There has been too much of this
philosophy in the past. The New
Deal philosophy is apparently built
on Bryan's philosophy-not on the
other.
end, but is an end This is contrary
to the opinion of some present-day
leaders. We have heard lot about
liberty in the sense that it should
be applied to democracy. Many peo-
pie confuse the purely dictionary
definition of liberty-license with true
liberty and freedom. In order to
have liberty, conditions must be such
that the people are given room to
create and develop, to follow their
inner bend and desires, without un-
due restrictions, either by government
or economic conditions. The rights
of all people end, where they jeo-
pardize the rights of others or the
whole. Any CRATER will plead that
his constitutional rights have been
violated when he is caught with the
goods and his license curbed.
This wrong conception of liberty
is used by the opponents of the New
Deal to discredit it. Personally,
know of no real right or liberty
actually curtailed by the New Deal
in the sense of real liberty. Many
people have distorted and exagger-
ated conception of liberty. They
think it means to break out the other
fellows windows, beating him out
of his property, etc. Some people be-
fore the advent of the New Deal
thought it was within the proper
province of government to abuse the
weak and the helpless. They of
course prided themselves on being
strong. However, it was their posi-
ton that made them strong, not
themselves. Some have changed their
minds the last five years as to their
strength.

HOLIDAY CONVENTION REPORT

Editor ASkOV American.
1t seems that everybody is very
interested in what took place at the
Holiday convention in Montevideo
October Is and g. We assembled
in the large armory at 10 a. m. in
joint session with the Cooperative
Union Activity Group. A merger
of the two organizations took place
and the step was hailed as strength
ening the agricultural movement.
Steps were taken to seek ANAL
gamation with the Farmer Union
Educational Organization as one pro-
gressive union of farmers, and when
that is completed, which we hope
will be, we will at last have a real
stable and basically sound farm or
ganization.
The board of directors of the Holt
day Association and the board of the
Cooperative Union will act as one
board and officers will be elected
from the same. There will be seven
different divisions set up with spe-
cial committees for each division as

islation, union, debt adjustment, tax
alton and tenants. This will take in
all the activities of the Holiday Asso-
citation. AS an immediate program
the convention endorsed the farm
conference program set up in ST..
Paul. Resolutions were also passed
for crop loans, graduated land tax,
a prohibitive tax on oleomargarine
and WPA cooperative teachers in
every county and statute prohibit
ing taking of deficiency judgments.
If the farmers will not line up in
an organization with such a broad
program for self help their case is
then hopeless, and dictatorship will
be inevitable.
The Holiday News will still be
in your mail box for some time to
come. Attend our next county meet
ing and hear a complete report.

THE RANK AND FILE

(The Minnesota Union Advocate)
If the Denver convention of the
American Federation of Labor &C
complished nothing else-it demon
strated that the demand for the ex-
pulsion of the CLIO affiliates originated
among the representatives of the rank
and file of the Labor movement and
not among high Labor officials who
must look to per capita taxes for their
salaries. The fight against the CLIO
was waged by the rank and file-not
the generals-and it was plain to be
seen that the advocates of expulsion
were actuated as direct result of ex-

WINDSOR, GUSTAFSON AND
BETTER HOUSING

Editor Askov American:
Mr. Gustafson's article in the Askov
American dealing with the Duke OF
Windsor and Better Housing contained
a lot of new information and I GER
tainly enjoyed reading it very much
1 am wondering whether it might
not be the proper thing for the
people of Pine county to back the
appointment of Mr.. Gustafson as a
committee of one to work with the
Governor of this state and the Pres
ident of the United States and the
Duke of Windsor regarding this mat
ter of "better housing"
Mr.. Gustafson has been applaud
ing Mr.. Benson and Mr.. Roosevelt
for a long while and now the Duke
is getting a share, but so far to nc
avail. 1t seems that the President
or the Governor should have recog-
nized his ability as a leader before
now.
There is no gainsaying as to his
acumen, political, social and other
wise, and 1 see no reason why he
should not be elevated to a higher
and better paid office, where there
would be a chance for him to ad-
vance the cause of us lowly folk.
1 verify believe that if Mr.. Gustaf-
son, the Duke, the Governor and the
President could be brought together
and put to work on this Better
Housing" proposition, the thing would
be accomplished in a jiffy; the U.
S. AS slum problem out of the way,
and every one on this side of the
Atlantic living in new government

Be Careful!

The sport of hunting is enjoyable
and healthful, but many accidents
which possibly in many cases could
be avoided, make it appear tragic.
Too careless handling of guns, in
ferior guns and other causes contri-
butte to personal and family grief and
suffering. The first great care of a
hunter should be to handle his gun
like he would so much dynamite.
Experience has taught us that it is
poor policy to take time out by resting
the gun barrel on the toe or lean
on the gun with it pointing toward
us or companion. It is not always
so healthful to climb through a fence
and drag the gun along after one.
Great care and the formation of
careful habits while handling guns
will make for greater enjoyment of
the sport and will greatly lessen the
injuries and fatalities to human
beings.
The coming deer season creates a
situation whereby authorities warn
against shooting before the object
being shot at is definitely known. Too
many people have lost their lives
because some hunter was going to
bag his game in too big hurry and
it did not prove to be game Life
is too precious to be wasted. Better
to have a deer disappear over the
hill or in the brush than to shoot
uncertainty and find it to be another
hunter or resident of the locality.

built bungalows, tax free and rent
free, England surely would wake up
and take notice wishing to follow in
our footsteps.
Then we could spare the Duke and
Mr.. Gustafson and I doubt not that
George, the king over there, will
invite them to come to England to
put their house in order.
1 believe that the people of Pine
county should get behind Mr.. Gustaf-
son and push. No doubt every one
will be pleased to help, barring the
former county commissioners.
