number Of governmental bureaus

War Improbable
Hardly a day passes but that
someone asks me IL believe we
will shortly have another World
War. To one and all reply, INC
there will not be another war until
the American people are able to
finance it. At the present time they
have all that they can do tc make
both ends meet at home. A World
war is a long way eff"
Without American money and
the American market on which to
draw for war materials a major
war could not be maintained for
as much as a year so it will be seen
that world peace rests largely in cur
hands and all we have to do to
maintain that peace is to serve
notice on the bellicose nations OF
Europe that in the event of war
they will neither be able to buy nor
borrow in the United States. That
weapon is more potent than any
army or navy.

from Washington
A Bargain In Pants
By CONGRESSMAN, Knuts0,,

A short time ago q Todd County
'clCthier received a letter from q
New York manufacturer of cloth.
ing advising that they had sold
their surplus stock of mems suits
to w. p. A., but only on one
pants basis for which we made an
allowance, according to the quality
of the clothing" The letter an
nounced that the stock of extra
pair Of pants could be bought by
the merchant at ridiculously low
prices.
assume that w. p. A. will pass
this clothing cut in pretty much
the same way as uniforms were
passed out to the soldiers in the
early days Of the war, little regard
being given to size and fit and none
whatever to the personal prefer
-ence of the recipient.
How much better would 1t not
have been had the w. p. A. distri-
buted this money in cash and per-
mitted the recipients to have done
their own buying, and think Of the
thousands Of local merchants who
would have benefited from such a
policy. assume that would have
been too simple and perhaps some
purchasing agent would have lost
out as a result.
Brother Hopkins has evidently
overlooked the fact that it Is the
taxes collected in part from small
merchants that enables w. P. A.
to function.
Trade Agreements Futile
When President Roosevelt first
announced his determination to en-
ter into a series Of trade agree
ments with foreign countries he
stated that the American farmer
would be one Of the chief benefici-
aries Of such a policy. which has
now been in effect for nearly four
years, but we fail to detect any
benefits that have accrued to agri-
culture,
Aside from butter, about every
major farm crop is now selling al
world prices because of the trade
agreements which have so reduced
the tariff rates as to practically
place us on a free trade basis. The
only rate that has not been chang
ed Is the IA cents per pound tax en-
imported butter which became ef-
fective in 1880. AS a result there
are now no appreciable imports OF
butter. Unfortunately, the same
cannot be said with regard tc other
farm products which have been and
are flooding the American markets
and were it net for this IA cent i'm
port tax the volume of butter i'm
ports would now be so great as to
completely demoralize the home
market.
The fact remains that after four
years Of costly effort, including 10
trade agreements now in effect,
American farm prices have net
been restored, neither have any
new foreign farm markets been
found. This indicates to me that
about the only remedy for the farm
problem is something along the line
OF the McNary-Haugen bill which
would make the tariff effective on
what we consume at home. In
normal times we export less than
10 per cent CT the total production
so 1t will be seen the problem of
maintaining domestic prices is not
too great to be solved.

Always More Taxes

We hear great deal about in
|creasing taxes but few and far be-
tween are suggestions that it would
be much better for all concerned il
expenditures were reduced SO as to
bring them somewhere near the
level Of income. Reports from
Washington have it that Congress
Is sure to boost the federal income
taxes next winter because the
government must have more money
to spend. We are told that the tax
base will be broadened Sc as to
take in the little fellow who has
heretofore escaped. This will net
be very good news 70 the family
, man who is having a hard time get
ting by as it Is. Fer him and his
family it will mean having less
money to spend for necessities. In
other words, they will have to re-
lconcile themselves to a low stan
dard of living.
High taxes en- individuals and
corporations mean that they have
less money to spend fer expansion
and improvements and that is re-
Elected in unemployment. I know
of no large corporation that has ex-
lpanded during the last two or three
years. Rather, all of them have laid
off employees in order to keep out
of the red. This simply brings us
back to the fundamental fact that
we cannot kill the goose that lays
the golden eggs and expect the pro-
duction of eggs tc, continue.
We all know individuals who
like to delude themselves by be-
lieving that they de- not pay taxes
but they do although they may not
be aware of it as many taxes are
hidden. 1t has been estimated that
a loaf Of bread contains II taxes
and so it Is with everything that
we buy. Some day those who have
to pay the bill are going to lose
their patience and take matters in
to their own hands.
A Good Law
The voters Of South Carolina
must have been thoroughly enter
tanned during the late primary CAM
Ipaign for they have a law in that
state which compels candidates for
Senator to travel the state together
and speak from the same platform
in every county seat town. Rival
candidates for state offices must
also engage in joint debates, but on
different dates from those assigned
to- the senatorial candidates. Mimi
esota should have similar law so
that the voters might meet and
size up the various candidates. I'm
doubtedly 1t would greatly improve
the quality and then think of the
entertainment that the people
would derive from such a spectacle.
1t would be far more entertaining
than Chautauqua or a county fair,
not to mention a session of Con-
lgress.
This Is Unbelievable
A few days ago a friend sent
me clipping from the pen of
Boake Carter, the well-known COM
|mentator, which lists the federal
agencies in his home state of Penn
sylvania. While I cannot vcuch for
its accuracy dare say that it is
100 per cent correct because Boake
Carter is very careful with his
statements. Then, too. have not
seen this particular statement chal-
lenged.
1t will come as a surprise to my
readers to learn that there are Ct
government agencies functioning
in the State of Pennsylvania and
dare say that the number in opera
ton in Minnesota and in the other
46 states is not much smaller
What has become of all these
promises that we heard back in

Ideal binder which is 46 years old

most of the canvas on the binder is

Nature Confused
In Apple Tree
ST. PETER-There's an apple
tree in George Martens back yard
that just can't make up it's mind
whether it's spring or fall or wheth-
err it is coming or going. The tree,
according to George, is Whitney
crab; half of it is stone dead; the
other half is covered with ripe APP
pies and pure white blossoms. Now
George claims he has seen trees be-
fore, grated trees, where half the
tree would be dead and the other
half in flower. But never did he
see one that dead ripe fruit and
blossoms alternating on the same
stick. Seems as if something should
be done about it.

Auto Runs Over
Sleeping Lad

CHATFIELD-Irving Anderson's
wasn't as peaceful as it might have
been. He had been moving hay on
the Anderson farm during the af-
ternoon, and a hired man came
along to take his place on the NOW
er for a short time. The lad sat
down near a little-used road, and
since the afternoon was drowsy
one, Irving soon dozed off, slump
ing down into the road, partly hid
den by tall weeds. Along came a
car, driven by son of Carl Sven
son. Not seeing the sleeping boy
until too late, Swenson drove right
over the lads body with the front
wheels. Jerking sharply to the side,
he avoided striking the boy with
the rear wheels by hitting for the
ditch. Irving suffered several brok-
en- ribs and several other injuries,
but his condition is favorable.

ST. CLOUD Strange things hap
pen to fishermen-but this is a
brand new one. One night recent
ly Frank Seifert, Bill Bejeau and
Jim Frakes were fishing on Lake
Koronis. Frank pulled in a north
ern pike weighing about Is pounds.
and as the fish did not put up a
fight, he thought at first that he
had hooked a mass of weeds. When
Frank reached home and cleaned
his catch he found 7-Up bottle

Douglas brought him home in a
trunk a week before the little ham
was thin and wan. Yet, in week
he had grown to almost foot in
length. His figure resembled we'll
inflated football. His black hair
grew long and silky. All, he was
pretty pig. But alas, he just pin
ed away. Why he did it no one
knows. Perhaps he worried about
the price of pork chops or the
shortage Of footballs ;. or, dare we
suggest 1t :. maybe Baby Blimp"

smarted his twin brother when he
became suddenly i'll and Monday
morning was rushed to a hospital at
Willmar where that day he under
went an operation for appendicitis.
Tuesday afternoon his mother re-
turned home from visiting him on

ill. He too, was rushed to Willmar
where he underwent an appendix
tits operation only 40 hours after
his twin. Both boys have been
moved to the same room where
the nurses are in a dilema trying
to decide which boy needs attention.
They are getting alone fine, and
both are more than happy that ev-

passenger went to a restaurant and
was just about to guzzle his beer
when the bus drove away. He dash
ed out onto the street, waved his
arms frantically but to no avail.
Then he shouted for taxi, but
this too, was useless, since there
are no taxis in Luverne. Finally
he hired a car to overtake the bus.

discovered that one of his charges
was missing, so he drove back to
