WHAT ARE OUR COMMITS
SIONER'S DOING

Editor Askov American:
Why did our county commissioners
of Pine county turn down the lib
eral state seed loan? The farmers
of Pine county would like an explain
alton. The state seed loan is very
liberal; it provides that county COM
missiOnerS may make available seed
loans to farmers who need them on
the most liberal terms.
The provisions are:
l. The farmer may repay in cash
or in kind IL bushels of grain for
one bushel loaned; 3 bushels of corn
for one loaned
2. Farmers repay on or before No
vember Is, which date may be eX-
tended until February Is, 1888, if
commissioners desire.
3. In case the seed planted does
not produce a crop because of drouth
or other conditions beyond the con-
troll of the farmer, he does not have
to repay the loan.
The Federal seed loan is harsh in
its provisions; a farmer must swear
to statement providing:
l. If the farmer fails for any rea-
son to repay, any officer of the
United States government may sell
at public or private sale with or
without notice at any time" enough
of the farmers property to repay the
loan.
2. The loan must be repaid in
cash. If the price of farm cOmmod-
tiles drops, the farmer will have to
repay far more than he borroWs.
3. He must repay on or before Au-
gust 81, when farm prices are low
est.
4. He must repay out of any sur
plus any unpaid seed or feed loans
accumulated in past years of crop
failure.
The commissioners must be aware
of the lack of finance and seed in
this county, and if they are there to
serve the people, they should surely
have voted for the state seed loan.
1t would have meant seed at an
early date for the drouth-Stricken
farmers. It would probably cost
about 500 for clerical work, but
what is that compared to several
thousand dollars which would come
into the county.
The farmers in other counties
where the commissioners have turned
down the state seed loan are COM
posing mass delegations to contact
the commissioners and demand that
they reconsider, and the same can
be done in Pine county when the
farmers know the facts.

APPARENTLY NO FOLK SCHOOL

Editor Askov American:
Eighteen months ago the plans for
a project, including an experimental
folk school at Askov, were, at my
request, printed in the "Askov Amer
ican." A request had come to US
from certain educators at the Univer
sity of Minnesota to form commit
tee locally, which was done. SuDse-
uuently we made the plans of the pIo-
ject public, stating, however, that the
realization hinged upon an appropria-
ton of money, which was expected
from the Carnegie Foundation. The
appropriation was not made last year,
and as answer to recent inquiry |
have been told that the appropria-
ton is not likely to come this year
either. | have therefore thought it
my duty to make this fact known to
the many people in the community
who have expressed interest in the
project.

Learning From the
Life of Jefferson
BY HJALMAR PETERSEN

Among all of the notable figures in
our nations early history. it has LONG
seemed 10 me that Thomas jefferson
is the most attractive, the most al
Turing. In an age of great men such
as Washington. Hamilton, Madison
and the AdamseS, Jefferson to a
place second to none. OF all this bril-
liant group. jefferson was probably
the most versatile, the most fertile
minded. Think of it. he was a farmer.
4 horticuiturist. musician, a me-
chanic, scientist, architect, philOSo-
pher. statesman. In his leisure hours
he read Greek and Latin for pleasure.
He pursued mathematics as some peo-
pie pour over crossword puzzles. Just
for the fun of it. He read extensively
il English, French and Italian. he
used to keep a clock in his bedroom
and get up and go to work as soon as
it was light enough for him to see
what time it was. jefferson was a
gentleman-cOmmOne and in his life
he proved that the two are not in
compatible nor inconsistent.
Despite all Oh THIS, the present aye
has drifted so far from many of JEFF
ferson's positions that one sometimes
wonders why he is so widely honOred
every year. Let us briefly strike a
balance and see if we can discover
some of the secrets of his enduring
influence.
For example, Jefferson is commonly
regarded as the father of the doctrine
OF States Rights. Jefferson fore saw
and lamented the advent of the Civil
Wharf.-The strife between states-but he
could hardly foresee how rapidly these
states could also be drawn together
through such unifying agencies as
railroads, telegraphs, telephones, au-
tOmobiles and airplanes.
In our day the idea of States Rights
has suffered eclipse. Students of the
problem now talk about reeionalism
or a grouping of states which have in
terests closely allied. In a sense, we
already have this. Among the COM
monwealths there is a regionalism of
interest.
Making allowances for all of this,
there was much of truth in Jeffersons
conception. 1t is possible that we will
become too much centralized and have
to return to more of lOcalism.

Jefferson believed that the best gov
eminent is that which governs least.
He believed this against background
of absolutism and autocracy which
prevailed in the Europe of his day.
Here again, the modern age has
drifted far from JeffersOn's idea. In
stead of limiting government merely
to police and to protective functions,
the modern period has greatly OK
panded the work of government. The
people of all lands are rapidly moving
toward the sOcialized state, which
does all manner of services for It's
citizens. Or to put it in another way,
modern government has become the
instrument through which the people
do much for themselves. 1t is entire
ly possible that the pendulum may
swing too far in this direction and TIE
future may stage a partial return to
Jefferson's idea about government.

of canals and roads with federal
money was a breach of the national
compact which might in time even
justify dissolution of the Union.
OF course upon this point Jefferson
was unduly alarmed. He was mis-
taken. In this connection it should be
observed, however, that many sins
have been committed in the name of
internal improvements.
If one would penetrate little more
deeply to the heart of Jefferson's po-
litical ideas he must glance for a
moment at the Declaration of indie
pendence written by the Sage of Mon
ticellO. Much of Jefferson'S political
philosophy is expressed in the second
paragraph of the great and familiar
Declaration which reads as follows:
I'VE hold these truths to be self
evident. that all men are created
equal: that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain iralienable
rights; that among these are life. lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights govern
ments are instituted among men. de-

ses and the classes, between the cOun-
try and the cities, between liberty
and authority, between progress and
social unity.
He was a modest man, twice presi
dent, acclaimed in Europe as ambas-
sadOr to France-a statesman-yet the
three achievements which Themes
jefferson thought might perpetuate
his name were his authorship of the
Declaration of independence, his spon-
sorship of the Virginia statute of re-
ligious freedom, and his founding of
the University of Virginia.
These are notable historic achieve
ments and they reflect the character
and quality of their great author and
sponsor. To them | would add one
more. If America began new chap
ter i'm the worlds history, it is because
there was in this land new freedom,
a broader vista, wider aspiration
than had been possible before. In our
country there has been a noble dream
of a better, richer, happier life for all
OF our citizens of whatever station
vi CIcSu licic DCcH anu lHti'
is this great American dream. 1t still
challenges. More than any other figure
iii our early history, | believe that
Thomas jefferson embOdies this dream
and makes it a living force ever pres
ent with us.
In this age of dictatOrs, when de-
mOcracy seems to totter in the bal
ance. surely it is well to invoke the
spirit of this entleman-cOmmoner, of
this great democrat who was an apoS-
tie of freedom, a prophet of equal OPP
portunity, friend and defender of the
common people. Let us keep green
his memory even as we share his
faith in democracy. Thomas Jeffer-
sens spirit still marches on! Let us
too. march on! We must not live in
the PAST, but profit by his philosophy
and leadership.

Jefferson feared public debt. Re-
peatedly he wrote to Albert Gallatin.
then secretary of the Treasury, urging
him to be persistent in extinguishing
the national debt. 1.-The discharge of
the debt" he said, lis vital to the
destinies of our government"
Upon this point there is little need
of comment. In the modern period,
probably because of circumstances and
necessities, there is too little fear or
searching of conscience either over
private or public debts. The present
attitude to considerable extent,
seems to be: Why worry anyway when
everybody is in debt to somebody else?
Here again perhaps Jefferson may
prove to be more than half right in
his position. 1t would be we'll if there
were little more concern about pri-
vate and public debts.
Though he held these views regard
ing federal expenditures and debts,
Jefferson was not a doctrinaire-a
mere theorist-which was demonstrate
ed when the opportunity for big
sweep came in the Louisiana Pur-
chase.
