Liqnin May Have Uses

1t is believed that lignin, a by
product of the rayon and paper
industries. may prove to be of con-
siderable value to the manufacturers
of lacquer and varnish when con-
verted by recently developed
hydrogenation process into product
that will dissolve organic resins and
gums used in the lacquers. Lignin
has always been considered a value
less commodity. Now there are sew
eral possibilities of its future
utilization.

clear-cut issue to the House, namely
whether we are going to continue
our present inadequate and discrim-
inatory old-age pension system or
whether we are going to adopt ade-
quate, universal pensions for the
aged.
My vote for the bill was a vote
for reasonable old-age pension for
everyone as a matter of right. All
would contribute, and all should bene-
fit. The revised bill would have
paid not to exceed $50 per month. All
talk of 5000 per month was made to
defeat the bill and it helped to do so.
My vote was a vote against the
present State-Federal system of old
age pensions, which are inadequate
largely because no special tax is i'm
posed to finance them and it also re-
quires old folks to take the pauper's
oath to qualify for the mere pittance
they are paid.
My vote also was a vote against
the present discriminatory system of
Federal old-age insurance for en-
ployed persons, which imposes bur-
densome payroll taxes on workers
and their employers, and which ex-
clude from all its benefits farmers,
professional people, merchants and
the self-employed generally, who
nevertheless are called upon to help
pay for the pensions of others by
reason of having to absorb, in higher
prices paid for goods and services, a
large part of the payroll tax imposed
in the first instance on employers.
The question of old-age pensions
will never be settled until it is settled
right. The movement for liberaliZed
pension system will grow despite the
vote had last week, until adequate
and universal pensions, financed by
direct tax, widely distributed, are
paid.
The National Debt.
Ever since Uncle Sam abandoned
the characteristic role of Foxy Grand
pa and started playing Santa Claus,
not only to our own people, but to the
nations of the earth, the national debt
has steadily risen despite the heavy
increase in revenues.
On May Goth, the national debt
stood at $40,277, 177,051.92 Contin-
gent liabilities of $4,343, 031 ,780.67,
aside from the national debt, bring
the total obligations of the govern
ment close to the legal limit of $45,-
900, 100000.
Foreign governments still owe the
United States $12,016,6 37 900 under
the debt funding agreement in settle
ment of World war loans. In ordi-
nary commercial business, the gov
ernments that refuse to pay their
obligations would be justly classified
as dead-beat debtors. We hesitate to
so call them but it is significant that
practically every country which owes
the United States money has found
ways and means to collect billions
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-06-08

for war purposes. AS businessman
Uncle Sam is poor collector.
Recreation in Tennessee.
During the past four years the
Federal government has expended
more than $10,OOO,OOO in acquiring
and improving recreational areas and
facilities in the state of Tennessee
To this huge sum the state, which
is to receive the benefits, has contri-
buted only 100000, mainly for the
purchase of equipment.
Mad Spending for War.
When Secretary Morgenthau ap-
peared before the Ways and Means
committee one day last week, in con-
nection with the proposed tax revis-
ion, he gave us some graphic figures
showing the enormous sums being
spent by the great powers for pre-
paredness. Great Britain, in the
present fiscal year, is spending So, 000,-
100000, almost so percent of its ma
tional budget; France is devoting
over 40 percent of it's national gov
ornamental expenditures for the same
purpose; Italy, so percent; Germany,
probably 60 percent; Japan, over 70
percent; and it is reported that Russia
has just authorized an increase of
about so percent in budget allowances
for armament.
These huge expenditures are being
financed largely by borrowing. 1 am
wondering where and how this in
sane spending is going to end. Ger
tainly, these nations are pauperizing
themselves in this mad race for pre-
paredness. Impoverished people fall
easy prey to radicalism.

Doyle InstaIs
Reds as Fayorifes

NEW YORK. May Is. UP) =
Jack Doyle, whose baseball odds en-
joy official status in the books
from Broadway to Mob Hill an
nounced today that the Cincinnati
Reds have supplanted the Chicago
Cubs in his book as fayorites to
capture the National league bunt-
ing.
While Doyle lowered his price of
2-5 to Ia on the New York
Yankees to win their fourt h
straight American league flag, he
took the LIS price tag off the Reds
and marked them down to 2-i. The
Cubs had opened at 81, and Doyle
increased that to So.
Doyle predicted the National
league pennant winner would set
new record for fewest games
won.
