and the cover.
"The pain was bad, but I
didn't know the bones were
broken then. I thought I could
get loose. But the more l tried
the worse it got. I couldn't
push the heavy cover up with
my one free hand.

SPEAKING OF TAXES

Editor Askov American:
The various units of government
give more service for tax money than
any other paid service.
Just check the service rendered by
schools, roads, city water, sewage
disposal, streets, the municipality
owned electric plants, etc.
You may pay more to cross one
private monopoly bridge at Hudson,
Wis, during one summer than you
do to travel over thousands of miles
of state-owned roads and bridges.
l did.
We pay more commissions in our
town to travelling statesmen than we
do to the salaries of our school
teachers. Crime costs us four times
as much as all our WPA, PWA and
CCC combined. Our chewing gum
and cigarette bills are more than the
cost of entire public school education.
Past wars and present preparations
tax us more than all other govern
mental services. War is fiendish
by-product of our capitalistic-mon-
opolistic system.
Loss in production due to man
made depreSsions cost us more than
20 times as much as the entire New
Deal security program annually.

THE WAY OUT

Editor Askov American:
On October 6, a very impressive
letter, Land Hogs" by Fern Kryzak
of Sandstone, appeared in the Askov

AS I read, 1 said, "How good
way to check the evil effect of
our shameful land tenure system,
which to correct, is one of the most
vital and pressing needs of the day,
and must be done if our country is to
stand as the home of faithful and
peace-loving people, truly securing
to the rising generations their rights to
''life, liberty and pursuit of happi-
ness" in other words justice to man
kind.
Government is supported by tax
payers money, giving much needed
and beneficial service-parks, school,
houses, good roads, police and fire
protection, etc. In those locations, as

causing the business privileges and
location values to run up to millions
in value-a purely social fund, being
creation of all the people, and, by
moral right, sane government is
in duty bound to collect it in rents
for defraying the public expense
This is what will fulfill the ad-
monition of Laviticus 25-23 where
the Bible states "The land shall not
be sold forever" Also secure as in
Ecclesiastes-"The profit of the earth
is for ALL"

lem in 1915 when it was taken with

grafton of Jews back to Palestine
was also foretold to occur in the last
days. Within another two years over
million Jews will have re-estab-
lished their new Eden in Palestine.

reason it must be from the party who
issued tin this case from the state
to person or party to whom it was
issued. A warrant regardless of what
kind can not be made legal tender
in payment for a debt 1t is only
equal to a good secured note.
Such warrant is prohibited to be
used as money in Article One, Sec
ton 10 of the Constitution of the
United States where we read: "No
state shall emit bills of credit; make
anything but gold and silver coin
a tender in payment of debts" A
state can not amend it's Constitution
so as to make it legal when it is
prohibited in the Constitution of the
United States as that is superior to
the constitutions of all states.
When you say, eve believe that
people will be able to purchase with
warrants any commodity desired
that shows plainly that you are in
doubt about it yourself, and 1 am
sure that you are more than in doubt
about it, you know that it can not
work, but lot of 10 cents wrapped
in paper as you propose would be
good to get, and somebody may be
foolish enough to give you some dol
lar bills. Townsend got rich on il

There are plenty of suckers"
To the leaders of said pension plan:
You say the recipients of the war
rants pay for the redemption stamps
but where shall the money come from
when the warrants shall pay for
everything-money will disappear; it
will go out of the state for interstate
trade

Dairy Advertising
Worthy Project

The old saying is that "advertiS-
ing pays" We in the newspaper
profession, say it at the expense of
being accused of blowing our own
horns" Nevertheless history and the
records of successful enterprises prove
its contention From the raiser of the
lowly pig to the manufacturer of the
nations great demand-the motor car,
advertising is essential. The shoes
we wear, the shirts we own, the
dresses we love and the foods we eat
have all been advertised. The world
has been told of their existence or
we would be going barefooted, naked
and we would starve ourselves, or
at least we would not enjoy the fare
we do now if it had not been for
advertising.
So it is with butter or any other
commodity of the farm-it takes ad-
vertising to put it across. 1t takes
advertising to tell how good it is;
it takes advertising to create de-
mand. We all know that cows pro-
duce milk and that milk contains
cream and that butter is made from
cream But what the world doesn't
know is how good those products
are that we get from the farm. The
world may think that sour cream
butter or that oleomargarine is just
as good and perhaps cheaper, but the
world doesn't know that sweet cream
butter is made of the finest ingred-
tents of the farm, uncontaminated
in any way and manufactured by ex-
perts of high degree.
The world likewise needs to be
told and told plenty about the neces-
sity of creating more of a market
for our dairy products so that great
er buying power may be enjoyed by
"a large proportion of our population
so that buying power in turn shall
create jobs and jobs shall relieve the
relief rolls of the country.
Yes, by all means, we should ad-
vertise that which we produce, espe-
cially when it contains such quail
tiles as our good Northwest dairy
products. Boost for the advertising
campaign about to be instituted by
the creameries and dairy manufacture
ing plants, not because your local
newspaper may get a little of the
revenue, but because it may aid in
creating sufficient demand that there
will not exist that troublesome sur
plus, which we hear so much about

Russia, Germany and Italy whenever
Great Britain gives the word. That
was not the literal form of his state
ment, but he made it amply clear that
that was what he meant. His appeal
has not yet caused any official reac-
ton in this country, and, for the time
being, it is reasonable to assume that
it will not meet with any popular
approval here.
Czech Dismemberment.
Germany and Poland have taken
their respectively claimed large slices
of Czechoslovakia and appear salts
fled for the moment. Indeed, Ger
many appears to be so profoundly
satisfied that the Berlin government
has declared it will be unnecessary to
hold plebiscites in the regions speci-
fled at Munich. Furthermore, i'm
time to come, Germany is likely to
get much more than she bargained
for, as it grows increasingly apparent
from day to day that Prague is fast
becoming a subsidiary of Berlin,
Czechoslovakia vassal state of Ger
many. German influence is spread
ing from hour to hour, Czechoslo-
vakian trade waits on the will of Ger
many, and while one cannot say that
Czechoslovakia has been actually an
nexed by the greater power, it is very
evident that there is in Prague a
willingness to obey Berlin's orders.
Not that the Czechs have any desire
to do so, but they have no choice
in the matter. If they don't do what
is told them, Hitler once more pro-
duces menacing sabre rafting.
Hungary, too, wants a part of
Czechoslovakian territory on the
ground that it contains a substantial
Hungarian minority. But in Buda-
pest the demands are pretty steep, and
even Hitler thought they went too far,
so at Munich he has conferred with
the foreign ministers of both Czecho-
slovakia and Hungary, and the result
is expected to be cession to Hungary

PEACE NOT WAR
Grand Rapids Herald-Review)


No one wishes war.
Germany cannot 60 into war and
win. She cannot fight England,
France and Russia and expect any
thing else but defeat If Hitler fights
and should lose, he might lose his
head He does not wish that.
Italy cannot go to war with any
hope of success Men cannot fight on
empty stomachs.
France does not wish war. She has
enough trouble as it is.
Russia may talk fight but that ma
ton lost more men in the World war
than any other nation. Russia is not
sure what might happen at home
when her soldiers are out fighting.
England does not wish war. She
is too intelligent.
The United States will not enter a
general world war after the failure
of the last effort. There will be a
revolution before the young men of
America are dragged to a foreign
front.
The world may talk war. Human
nature may be about as it was. There
may be enough to justify some fight
ing in the minds of some people con-
cerned with conditions in Europe
But the world cannot fight. 1t is too
poor, too upset, too tired.
Nations may parade their strength.
They may shout their demands. But
the people of the world are not ready
to sacrifice government and civiliza-
ton. The world wishes peace, not
war.
