 Commissioner John H, doss, oi the finance board, devised Q definite routine whereby the truckers were to be paid on time, fos:owing ac- ceptance of the controller of tho contracts. But at the last finance board meeting, when Commissioner Goss told the controller that he hae received Q written complaint that the men are not being paid, Con- troller Rowland turned to Purcell and asked If this were so.
 Purcell Makes Statement
 Purcell said that the truckers were being paid, that there might be one instance where this wal not the case.
 John spadaro, spokesmen for tho group of truckers, told the board however, that Purcell had refused payment. He asked that the mat ter be clarified SO that the men car get their money within reasonable time.
 Commissioner Goss, and othei members of the finance board, not. ahly Major W. Judge, chairman oi the economy committee, told thu controller that the men must bt paid; that there was no reason wh, they should walt more than twt weeks" for their money.
 A similar instance occurred wher the garbage collectors appeared a the finance board meeting sona weeks ago and related how they hae been unpaid for n1onths.
 VIII Appear Again
 Inasmuch as Commissioner Cos has interested himself in the mat. ter, 1t Is expected that the truckeri will make another appearance a the finance board meeting tomorrow in order to hear what the controller has to say about keeping them wait ing for more than two months foi the sums due them last August.
 Although the free balance fol truck hire, which amounted to S24,' 900 e short time ago, now Is placed at $l5,000 because of deduction for the new trucks and controller Is supposed to buy for the street de. partment, these trucks have no been delivered, The Democrat learn cd today. They were scheduled fol delivery Oct. l.
 In the matter of the transfer made by the aldermen weeks agt of the approximate Se,000, more thar half of which was for back truck rent, the balance for truck hire of three machines for sewer work for the rest of the year, 1t was res ported today that Purcell has "re- transferred" the truck hire balance 10 the C-5 (street truck hire) item contrary to instruction of the boards of finance and aldermen.

 Governor Signs Bill
 Hartford, Conn.,, Oct l9.-(UP)-- Gov. Cross today signed an amend- ment to the state professional box Ing laws, providing for decisions by a referee and two judges in all world sectional and state championship bouts.

 Tillman Tunnel, an electrician, father of Ruth, said he asked pr. H. J. Gerlough, city health officer, if the Pasteur treatment was not sometimes fatal, and that pr. Ger lough told him that 1t was.
 Ruth has only small scratch on her foot which healed promptly" he said. Maybe 1t was caused by the dogs toe nail. Ruth herself doesn't know If she was bitten but believes she was not. If the services of a doctor are needed later, we will get one."
 Mrs, Thomas stentiford, mother of Robert said that his wound was on his hand and had been cauteriz- ed at once.
 "There was no infection" she said. "The bite was very slight one"
 Scratch Just AS Bad
 pr. J. 0. Geiger, San Francisco health director and Dr. Gerlough said that scratch inflicted by q rabid dog was just as dangerous as a bite.
 The children were apparently well and were attending school.
 Health authorities said their only course of action now would be to seek e court order compelling the parents to submit the children to the Pasteur treatment. They had not decided whether to take 1t.
 Before the experiments of Louis Pasteur, hydrophobia was a dread and almost always fatal disease. His treatment, perfected in Q series of experiments which advanced the science of bacteriology by an irn- measurable degree. has reduced fate alities from hydrophibia to less than one per cent and almost all fatali- ties have resulted when the treat- ment was not given soon enough.
 Several Stages Marness
 Hydrophohia or water madness Is characterized by several stages, the last of which gives the disease It's name. The sufferer is tortured by overweening thirst but when he tries to drink is overcome by Q violent paroxysrn caused by Q spasrn Of the muscles of swallowing and breath- ing and is all but suffocated. Even the sound of running water will cause the same reaction. After sev- eral days of frightful suffering, the victim dies, either from choking or from exhaustion.
 The hydrophobic virus strikes the nerve centers of the brain. It IS strictly Q disease of dogs but is transmitted by them to man and other warm -blooded animals.
 The Pasteur treatment consists of a series of subcutaneous injec- tions of the virus contained in the spinal cord of a rabid animal which has been attenuated or intensified. By @ series of doses of graduated strength, the resistance of the pa- tent is raised until he can resist the strongest virus.
 The system of treatment consists in making an emulsion of the spinal cord and graduating the strength of the dose by using Q succession of cords varying in strength. The doses, injected alternately into the right and left Hanks, range from one to three cubic centimeters.

 "On the top was @ reproduction of the inscription the White House, Washington, D. O. thought 1t would be a good Idea to enclose a facsimile of the presidents mes sage so they would have something to go by"
 He explained he meant to have the fake stationery printed in Ham, burg.
 Letter Is Read
 Dunigan then read a letter Rum- rich sent through Mrs, Jordan on January l9, 1888, in which he dis cussed the facsimile. He had writ ten minute instructions for the makeup of the stationery Stressing that 1t would "get us aircraft car Tier plans without much expense"
 He cautioned his German su- periors to get the same quality pa- per for letterheads and envelopes and gave measurements in mili- meters of the stationery and the printed matter to go on them, He added in his note that he needed sSOO to "deal with situations as they arise" and hinted that one off these situations riiight involve the theft of e certain salve said to be effective against poison gas.
 Miss Hoffman There

Importance Of Voting

Monday will be primary election
day. 1t is the date designated by
law every two years when people of
Minnesota choose their nominees for
various offices to run for election to
those offices in the fall, or General
election. Primary elections as rule,
attract less voters than the general
elections. That is not as it should be.
The Primary election is an impor-
tant function of the operation of gov
eminent and should be guarded re-
ligiously for it is the one time when
the true rank and file of the coun-
try can 60 to the polls and express
choice on issues and candidates, with
out fear or favor, or compliance to
'boss controlled" conventions.
People, it is our right and we
should take it seriously. There should
be as large vote at the Primary
election as there should be in the
General. Get out and vote Monday,
June 90 The polls will be open
in your voting precinct from o'clock
in the morning until o'clock at night.

REFLECTIONS
Editor ASkOv American:

EOllOT ASkOV american.
Your paper as usual stimulates
the spirit, calling on the minds of
readers remarks and solutions to
subjects of vast and vital concern to
mankind-especially the rising gen.
Grafton.
Your remarks as to Memorial spirit,
namely ''let us carry on in our effort
to create situation whereby there
shall be peace and security in the
world forever" This is a gigantic
statement and vital problem that
challenges the souls of civilized men
in all lands. 1t involves mainly an
understanding of the law-God's law
in economics. Your paper also shows
picture of group of bright, in
telligent and honorable young men
and women graduates. These fine
young folks with some two million
all over the United States are anx-
ious and ready to perform useful
service, helping in the creation of
wealth and establishing homes for
themselves. They know facts as to
the natural law in mathematics,
chemistry, gravity, ETC., but, very
little instruction did they get in the
natural law of economics law
of production and distribution, the
cause and cure of poverty, justice in
governmental budgeting, the import
ance of a statute law opening up
opportunities, setting this good old
earth free, securing to all generations
an equitable chance to carry on and
produce, without as now Gin effect)
having to pay for chance to work
because of our depressing and obso-
lete land and tax laws.
Taxation is legalized robbery and
carried on far enough will break any
country-but this need not be where
people have vision. Young people
are part of population, and benefits
of government service is what gives
rental value to locations. This is an
honest and just community earned
value, and people awake to their
rights will demand statute law to
the effect it be collected into the
public treasury and all taxes on labor
products abolished
l hope among your graduates there
are some that might call on your
venerable citizen, Ludwig Mosbak,
and hear from first class authority
the importance to them and America,
of statute law securing people in
their God-given rights to 'life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness"
Facts, facts, facts is what we want
to be able to free our country from
the cause of poverty and the crime
of war.

A NATION OF OLDER PEOPLE

The following was written by
one Cliff Blanchard for the Min
neapolis Tribune and it is re-
printed herewith:
One of the most educational news
paper features of today is the series
of ''Telefacts" now appearing in The
Tribune. These 'picturized statistics
enable the reader to comprehend, at
a glance, facts which otherwise would
require a great deal of reading and
study.
The Telefact for today MAY 12)
shows clearly the change in the age
composition of our population. AS a
matter of fact, we are becoming a
nation of older people.
A great deal has been written on
this subject of population trends, but
little has appeared so far in either
the daily press, or the popular maya
zines. The May issue of Harper's
magazine, however, carries an article
by Henry Pratt Fairchild entitled
"When Population Levels Off," 1t
will be of particular interest to anyone
who desires to understand one of the
basic causes of our present economic
condition.
Not only are we becoming ma
ton of older people, as today's Tele-
fact so clearly indicates, but we are
rapidly approaching a stationary pop
ulation. We shall continue to grow
in numbers for few years more. In
about two more decades we shall have
reached peak, variously estimated
at between 1875 100000 and 100000
900.
The birth rate is decreasing, hav-
ing dropped Is percent in the decade,
1925-1935. Furthermore, the proper
ton of older people to younger has
been increasing. This will have pro-
found effects upon our social and
economic life as its full importance
begins to be felt Thus, our school
plant, for example, will be greatly
overexpanded Instead of talking
about building new schools, in cou-
pie of decades we shall probably be
compelled to close many of them
particularly the grammar schools
or convert the buildings to some other
use.
Discussing this strange phenomenon
of an aging population, the New York
Times said some time ago, 'that life
in an elderly America will have fewer
75-mile-an-h our automobiles and
night clubs, but will have its excite
ments, too. The curious thing today
is that it is the young who drill and
goosestep and salute and demand to
be co-ordinated and collectivized and
deprived of freedom of thought and
action, all for the sake of being made
secure. And it is the oldsters who
hold out for individualism and self
reliance, with attendant risks"

DOESN'T WANT RYAN
Editor ASkOV American:

EQltOf ASkOV American.
I notice Carl Ryan, the candidate
who has twice filed for Congress in
the Sixth district on the Farmer
Labor ticket against the candidate
endorsed by the Sixth district con-
vention, is putting on a very ex-
pensive campaign. Now l wonder
who is financing his campaign.
I believe he states that he spent
several thousand dollars in the cam
paign two years ago. Whose money
was it he spent? Whose money is
he spending again this year?
Pine county is not contributing to
his campaign fund, nor do I believe
the other IA counties can furnish this
vast amount. Who, then do you, Mr..
and Mrs. Voter, think Mr. Ryan will
represent, if he should 60 to Congress?
He states he has the endorsement
of leading Farmer-Laborites. Pine
county, leading county in the Farm
er-Labor movement, did not endorse
him though he requested it long be-
fore the district convention.
Pine county has never heard Mr..
Ryan speak at any of their mass
meetings or club meetings so far as
1 know. Why? He has had several
invitations.
The Farmer-Labor party will grow
powerful when the voters organize
and put in their places self-seekers
of this type, so let us give our sup
port in the primary election to
Harry w. Christensen who received
the district endorsement because of
his past record in the Legislature and
because he was not seeking to put
himself forward.

time. What is the use of a plat
form which can never be enacted
into law even if the party proposing
it is elected? I would define true
Liberal as a man who works for
progress along lines that do not con-
flict with the basic laws of our land,
or which do not require constitu-
tional amendment
The people of this nation would
never pass constitutional amend
ment changing fundamentally our
form of government. Most thinking
people realize this to be a fact. Then
why talk production for use, coop
erative commonwealth, down with
Capitalism, ETC., slogans coined in
the shadow of the Kremlin Of course
it is a safe bet that nine tenthS of
the people falling for these imported
slogans could not to save their i'm
mortal soul give clear definition of
what they actually mean. However
we expect the Governor of our state
to know what they mean. Benson
must know, yet he uses these slogans
in order to get votes from the lunatic
fringe. He uses them, and knows
that he hasn't chance in the world
of putting them into practice even if
elected. The Constitution of these
United States stands in the way.
Thinking Liberals have right to ex-
pect little of intellectual honesty
from their leaders. Surely we are
not getting it from Benson, whereas
Hjalmar Petersen promises us in
every talk that he makes to work for
progress along constitutional lines.
In fact this might well be called his
slogan, and one that is not imported
either, all of which means that here
is a man who is going to work for
something that can actually be had,
rather than keep on fighting wind
mills. We expect if he is elected,
that he will again take the people
of Minnesota into the sunshine of
common sense.

ISSUE NEW CURRENCY
EMIL KNIPS.
Editor ASkov American:

Editor Askov American:
1 wrote the following letter as an
answer to letter received from S.
O. Sanderson, but then l made up
my mind that I would like to have
some more people read it, so would
like to have it published in your
paper.
Mr.. S. o. Sanderson: I am pleased
by having your o. K. to my article,
abolish Profit System" Yes, am
with you in the opposition to the
issuing of tax exempt bonds; in fact
1 am opposed to issuing of any and
all kinds of United States bonds.
The money the government gets for
the bonds is only notes that the
United States has issued and prom
ised to pay. Why can't the govern
ment as well issue more notes of
the same kind instead of borrowing
those already issued and paying in
tereSt on them?
The currency in use now instead
of money is nothing but repudiated
United States debts. It is issued as
bills of indebtedness, and then the
government made it crime to keep
that coin in possession which we
are entitled to have the currency re-
