SOME NEVER LEARN
(The Blooming Prairie Times)

(The Blooming Prairie TimeS)
We learn so slowly at times. Some
times it seems to this writer that the
leaders learn so much more slowly
than the people themselves.
The automobile companies reduced
the price of their automobiles and
improved their product and they be-
gan to enjoy real prosperity.
Times continued along pretty slow
ly for the railroad companies. They
reduced their fares and then sat back
amazed to find they were earning
more money than they had in years.
At last the passenger business began
to go into the black again.
The mOnopolistic Industries since
they do not have competition continue
to raise prices. Soon they will com
plain of poor business because the
people won't be able to buy their pro-
ducts.
The amounts the American people
can consume or use is almost limit
less if they can afford to buy.
The answer, as the automobile peo-
pie learned first, is to get the prices
down where people can afford to buy.
Instead many companies are raising
prices and killing off business.
We learn so slowly! And some peo-
pie never learn at all.

USE GAS TAX ON HIGHWAYS

The tax on gasoline, annually levied
in the United States, collects an i'm
mense sum, most of which is expended
for highway purposes. In some states,
however, some of the money is di-
verified to other purposes.
In view of the increasing traffic on
our highways and the possibility of
eliminating accidents by further i'm
provements, it seems to us that the
various governments should seriously
consider policy of applying to the
highways all of the money secured
from the gasoline tax.
In many sections of the nation it
is necessary to have four, six and
eight-lane highways in order to &C
commodate the vehicle traffic. More
over, by creating a parkway in the
middle of the highway to separate
the traffic, it should be possible to
secure much greater safety. In view
of the tendency to greater speed, this
will probably be necessary in the near
future.-The Country Press.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1937-01-07

now under liberal control, but the
state senate reactionary controlled as
it is, has always shown tendency to
weaken under the heat of public senti-
ment-especially when they come UP
for election the following year.
Fair and just laws on taxation based
on ability to pay will pass the lower
house, and failure to pass these in the
senate will expose the special privi-
lege group who own a great many
of the lawmakers, lock, stock and bar
rel. That exposure will mean the
defeat of that same group at the next
election.
The next session will be the open
ing of a new era of progressivism. IL
has been long fight. but it is near
ing the end. Corporate interests will
be forced to recognize mass opinion.
After they have learned that, the rest
will be comparatively easy.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1937-01-07
WILL OF PEOPLE

Both the national congress and the
state legislature should accom- lish
much toward lettering the standard
of living for the great mass of people
dul ing the session which got under
way this week. Both should be gov
erned largely by the tremendous vote
given the administrations on NCvem-
Der 3. The Democrats in the national
congress establish a record in men,
bership to back a Democratic presi-
dent and the Farmer-LabOrites and
liberals in the Minnesota leei lature
should be better armed with the moral
effect which the November Bird vote
will have on their conservative Op-
pOnents.
One conservative. however. has re-
marked that the large majOrities
relied UP for the progressive forces
will not promote fear in the hearts
of the conservative element in the
senate who were not up for election
this year. This is not a wise remark
to make if a legislator wants to be a
true representative of the people and
abide by the will of the majority. or
course we can understand reason
ably conservative viewpoint of a SER
want of the pie elected from con-
sentative district, but even he certain
ly can by this time see the trend of
public opinion toward making for a
better living standard for the aver
age person.
If he and his constituents cannot
yet see that hardheaded rugged in
dividualism is wrong and flagrantly
out of place in a country with such
vast resources and a form of govern
ment which can and will see to it
that people do not starve in the midst
of plenty then the power which they
continue to hold dear to their hearts
will eventually become lessened.
The conservative element in the
legislative halls should liberalze
their views and cooperate with the
administrations in order to establish
a system where depressions such as
the one we are going through will not
come again.
The program which is designed to
give those who would work an oppor.
tunity to earn their living and thos e
who do work an opportunity to share
in the wealth they produce, generally
speaking, is not beyond our reach
financially. 1t can be financed easily
and without great sacrifice to any one
If the tax program is designed to come
from those who are able to pay and
who are right now getting the great
est benefits under our system
The peoples will has been made
known and the steps taken by our
government today are no more radical
when fitted in our mode of living than
was the step taken from the slow
moving horse and buggy to the pres
ent high speed motor car. We like
the car and we will like the happy
carefree people of the United States
of America when their dinner pals
are all full and they enjoy life full
OF opportunity and fruit from their
toll.

THE SIX YEAR TERN
Springfield Advance-Press)

When Congress convenes a bill for
constitutional amendment to make
the Presidents term six years and
provide against reelection will be Of
fered. 1t long has been advocated, the
argument in it's favor being the ten
dency of presidents to look more to
the next election than to the coun-
try's welfare during their first terms.
1t is doubtful that such a change
will be made. While it is true that
political considerations often WELD
much influence in official business,
not only in first terms but in second
terms as we'll, it isn't likely that the
country will take such drastic action,
nor would it be WISE Government
should be responsive to the peoples
will and four years is long enough
for presidential term. Six years
wouldn't be too long for a good one;
it would be too long for a poor one.
Already there is speculation as to
whether President Roosevelt will shat
ter tradition and be a candidate again
in 1910. The American people don't
care much for tradition any more.
What Washington, Jefferson or Lin
coin said or did in their days counts
for little now. If they find that Pres
ident Roosevelt makes an unusually
good president in his second term
and he is willing to serve a third
term, they are not going to let ira
dition stand in the way
