PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES

Sunday services will be at the
usual hours next Sunday with scout
ing the special feature of the church
services.
There are two ways to deal with
ones dissatisfaction with the way the
church is run. One is to refuse to
60 to church, refuse to support it,
and refuse to boost The other is
to report to the pastor reasons for
dissatisfaction in the spirit of kind
illness and offer help in making any
needed improvement. 1t goes with
out saying that the latter is not only
the Christian way, but it is also the
most effective way of solving diff
ficulties.

In fighting any increase in freight
rates on iron ore and other state pro-
ducts, Attorney General William S.
Erwin argued before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Washington
last week that the railroads have not
proved any need for additional rev.
enue from freight shipments. The
railroads nationally have requested
a Is per cent freight rate increase.
Minnesota takes the position that in
creases in iron ore shipment costs
may bring the cost of domestic ore
above that of European.

Works Progress Administrator Vic
tor Christgau is charged by Mime
sofa department of agriculture Off
Gals with having undermined their
efforts to secure WPA weed eradica-
ton project.
1--WE went to Washington to lay
all data before officials there in the
belief that we had Mr. Christgau's
backing and support, but we found
he was not cooperator," Fred Crane,
director of weed and seed control,
said following a trip to the capital
with Commissioner of Agriculture
Charles Ommodt.
Meanwhile the state officials con-
tinued with their regular weed era
dication program, outlining a series
of county educational meetings to
commence February IA.
Following a speaking tour through
the north and west sections of the
state National Farmers Union Or
ganizer George A. Nelson reported
that Minnesota farmers are in a bet
ter mood for organization than any
group he has seen in many years of
organizational work.
Fifteen hundred farmers were
added to Farmers Union rolls during
the trip, he said. Nelson, whose home
is in Midtown, Wis, was formerly
president of his states Equity Union,
and for many years has been mem
Der of the Farmers Union national
board. He is in Minnesota for at
least a six-month stay.
Red River Valley farmers are pre-
pairing to attend the annual Winter
shows at Crookston February 7 to H..
An expected 10000 visitors will see
displays of valley poultry, livestock
and crops and will attend a series
of farm school meetings.
A detailed analysis of the Fiterman
report on state finances completed the
past week fails to present a case
against the state administration and
the Farmer-Labor tax program which
the reactionaries had hoped the re-
port would disclose. AS matter of
fact, its conclusions show the sound
ness of Governor Benson's proposals
of taxation levied in accordance with
ability to pay to raise sufficient rev.
enue so that the state would not have
to 60 further into debt.
The analysis shows pertinent facts
about the depression-"The value
added by manufacturers was cut in
half between 1929 and 1888, recov-
ering less than third by 1885," About
income decline, it says, "By 1885 the
per cent of population producing an
annual income of $500 or less had
trebled" About the state debt it
says, "The Republican administrations
of the past are almost exclusively re-
sponsible for the present high debt
structure of the state; and therefore
responsible for the present high cost
of state government"
On the other hand, the responsible
tiles of government increased sharp
ly. "The cost of public welfare has

apoliS.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1938-02-03

risen almost 800 per cent in the last
10 years." according to the survey
which further declared that "the
present upswing in business will not
result in reducing government bud
gets and revenue systems to the nor
NAL basis of the pre-depression level.
Relief, public works, and social Sc
curity will be continued on an ex-
tended scale F.. because basic social
conditions remain unchanged"
Business men and all interested
citizens should give deep considera-
ton to these facts from the tax sur
vey. Business should weigh the alter
natives-if taxes are reduced and
people are given balanced budgets
instead of balanced lives" who will
be responsible for their actions?
For government to refuse to raise
the necessary tax money is merely to
increase the state debt. And BUSH
ness has more to lose from an &C
cumulated state debt, with its threat
of bankruptcy tomorrow, than from
reasonable tax program today.
Department of Agriculture officials
estimate that between 100000 and
100000 acres will be taken out
of production this year. Most of the
cut, government officials say, will
be in cotton and wheat.
Whether benefit payments will be
on the old soil conservation basis or
not has not been decided. At any rate
approximately $400,000,00O is ex-
pected to be paid through some sort
of benefit system.

State Capitol News
BY A. I. HARRIS

Governor Benson, returned from
the vacation on which he departed
late in December, has plunged into
the problems of relief facing the
state and local communities. Reports
which he requested before he left
have now been completed and are
ready for his analysis. Upon this
analysis hangs the Governors de-
cision as to whether a special session
of the Legislature is needed in order
to provide a greater states share of
relief financing.
Benson has pointed out that the
decision actually rests with local COM
munities, because with the relief rolls
approaching record highs in most sec
tons of the state, the financial needs
of townships, counties and cities will
be the most weighty factors in decid-
ing whether the state must extend
its relief aid.
Asked to comment on the filing for
the governorship of Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioner Hjalmar
Petersen, the Governor declared he
had nothing to say."-"When shall
1 file? Certainly not until after the
Farmer-Labor party's convention in
March," he added.
Officials in the state insurance de-
partment offer the opinion that the
public will never know how to buy
insurance intelligently until the fun
damentals of insurance are taught in
the schools. The problem of when
to buy and when not to buy insur-
ance, and what kind of insurance is
suited to individual cases, is one that
every adult must face. Yet he is
given no preparation for it. He is
equipped only with the knowledge
that he may pick up by himself from
advice of friends, or learn through
the school of sad experience. Study
of insurance, if introduced into the
schools, might deal blow to the wild
cat insurance companies more effec-
lively than mere law enforcement,
too. There is hardly any excuse for
its being ignored in school curricula,
they believe.

YOU haven't read ALL the News

By HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, April l8. CUP)-The
managers migraine, meaning Je-
rome Herman Dean, has been sold
by the st. Louis Cardinals to the
Chicago Cubs. Officials of both
clubs said that in return for Dean,
the Cardinals received Pitchers Da-
Wis and Shoun, Outfielder Stain
back, and an undisclosed sum of
money
Now happen TO know that isn't
all there was to the deal. Before
Charley Grimm, manager of the
Cubs, would agree TO the trade he
had it clearly stipulated that Fran
kie F'risch, Cards manager, would
ship 10 him, by fast freight, all the
paraphernalia a man who manages
Dean gradually gathers about him.
Frisch has had charge of Dean
ever. since he came out Of Texas
some six years ago. In that time
frankie has spent hundreds of dol
lars on supplies to enable him to
Withstand the Dizzy ones antics. For
example, FrlSch has the largest sin
gle collection Of headache ice packs
in America. There was a time when
FriSch had to keep so much ice
on his head to keep himself cool
that there was movement to hold
the winter Olympics on top of his
head
Another important item is 100
gallon demijohn of second guess
antitoXin, which, if properly ad-
| ministered takes much of the sting
out of having a pitcher tell you
how TO run your ball club. Then
there is the carton of tablets which
Friseh found invaluable when Dir
zy would refuse TO catch the bus
for an exhibition game in which
he was scheduled to pitch. Three
of these and a manager just set
ties into sort of coma and pitches
fellow named Willie or Bill or
Gus.
Other items in the Frisch supply
include capsules TO be taken when
Dean complains of a sore arm at
u noon on the day he has been
advertised TO work, and a l2-pound
hammer for personal head knock
ing when Dean suddenly decides it
would be fun, not only TO pitch,
but to make all putoutS at first
base himself.
For Grimms sake it is TO be hop
ped that nothing delays the pack
age in transit. Grim is known as
the happiest and most carefree of

plunk gay tunes on his banjo and
sing lifting songs under the shower.
1t would be a shame to see such
man lay aside his banjo, abandon
his joyful songs, and lapse into
melancholia.
1t will be interesting to watch
Frisch's reactions to his release
from managing the mercurial Diz-
zy. was talking to an eminent pSy-
chologist today, and as he BAN
daged the foot of an injured Collie
(he does veterinary work on the
ade) he said that he would not be
surprised to hear that Frisch was
unable to keep his balance for
week or two.
Don't be shocked the psychol-
ogist said, brushing a flea off his
wrist, ''if FriSch starts stopping
birds and sings to them, gambols
through parks, barefooted, playing
a flute, or writes a book of poetry,
even"
My own guess is that he will do
none of these things, but that he
runs the grave risk of catching the
