Real Cooperation

Askov's attempt and successful
conclusion of the snow removing
problem is a lesson of real coopera-
ton. Not since the early days when
settlers in the wilderness or prairie
needed the assistance of their neigh
bors has there been any better spirit
shown than was in evidence both
when snow shovelerS were needed to
help the plows and to build snow
fencing to aid in keeping the roads
open.
When facing pioneering troubles
with Indians and the rigors of at
tempting to hew living out of vir-
gin soil far from civilization and mar
ket, our forefatherS and some of our
present residents knew the real mean
ing of cooperation, but with the COM
ing of modern modes of travel labor
and communication we drifted with
the trend. Gradually we became
rugged individualistS in our methods
of going about our work. If there
was anything to be done, we hired it
NSliS anu W III q
working group has been only on very
rare occasions.
The modern age has taken its effect
on the populace. No more do we
have to band together under a single
roof to fight off a charge of savage
Indians; no more do we have to band
together to haul supplies from town,
for our civilization and modern trans
portation system has changed all that
The residents of this little COM
munity didn't wait for another snow
storm to erase the large investment
they had already in snow removal
from the roads of the community
The school had to go on and the
people had to get out Some four
score of workers showed that it could
be done and today we are using most
of our roads where otherwise, great
snowbanks would have blocked them
Whether old man winter will finally
win against real cooperative spirit
only time will tell, but the spirit
prevails in our little community thai
the hand of the past reached out
and fetched to us once again the
methods used by our honored fore
fathers-cooperation of effort.

Big Money?

Two more misguided men will suf-
fer and pay for their folly in attempt
ing to get big and easy money via
the crime method They are Charles
Mitchell and Sol Schwartz, the former
of the little kidnapped victims father.
They gave as their excuse for the
crime that they wanted to recoup
some of the $500 they lost in racing
bets.
The misguided pair will, however,
have plenty Of time to think over their
folly, for neither was getting starva-
ton wages; the former had a $50 and
the latter a $45-a-Week job.
The way they took and the end
they came to is, however, the same
that is travelled by too many young
men and boys. What is the answer?
We don't know, do you?

Lands to Former Owners.


In the case of land now in the pos
session of the Federal land banks,
and between them the Federal Land
Banks and the Farm Mortgage Cor
poration hold more than $4,000 farms,
l propose an effort should be made
to return these lands to their former
owners wherever possible. In order
to accomplish this my resolution gives
the original owner, or his successor
in interest, the right to apply to the
bank for the re-purchase of his old
farm at its currently appraised value.
A new mortgage is to be issued to
him and all previous claims against
him are cancelled. Exactly the same
provisions apply to Land Bank Com
missioner Loans under this resolu-
ton as do to Federal Land Bank
Loans and the same benefits are ex-
tended in both instances.
The benefits of this proposal will
be granted to borrower only once.
Its permanent effect will be to abol-
iSh foreclosures, except as measures
of last resort, and do away with
the vicious deficiency judgment. New
mortgages are to be granted in cases
where old ones are scaled down or in
cases of repurchase. The capital
stock authorization of the farm mort
gage corporation is increased $780,
100000 to take care of these new
needs and the power of the land
bank commissioner to make loans is
extended to 1912 under my resolu-
ton.
In the event that the appraisals
made by the existing land bank ap-
praisers shall not be satisfactory to
all parties concerned my resolution
provides for appeal to a board of
local appraisers to be appointed by
the district courts of the United
States. Each county in which agri-
cultural products are produced is to
have an appeal board of three per-
sons familiar with the value of agri-
cultural lands in that county. This
is to be known as a board of ap-
praisers which is to report its ap-
praisalS to the clerk of the Federal
District Court and is responsible to
the court. The findings of the board
are final and its valuation must be
accepted by the bank

Who Will Lead Them?

Today begins the secret conclave
and from it will come new Pope
to succeed Pope Plus XII, whose
death short time ago saddened an
entire world. Who will lead the
more than 800 millions of Catholics
as spiritual head is of course con-
lecture, but it is hoped that he will
be man of the observation-disclosures of
the late Pope Plus.
Needless to say so soon after his
death, Pope Plus was guiding star
in world peace and if his place can
be filled by person of like pro-
pensities millions of people will re-
iOice.

The legislature is running against
several snags in its efforts to give
the state Civil Service bill. 1t is
hoped, however, that unbiased solu-
ton to the proposition will result
when the final draft for such law
is made. Some, there are among
the lawmakers who still can't give
up the old custom of reaping the
spoils. Naturally Farmer-Labor APP
pointees are repugnant to Republic
cans and vice versa, but rank and file
workers, who have minded their jobs
well. should at least merit chance
to keep them.

The benefit payments in the above
table Except tobacco) are tariff
schedules in the 1880 Tariff act.
Setup is Simple.
The machinery necessary to carry
out such plan can be very simple:
The United States Treasury, a CEN
trail office in each county (the county
agents offce) to check sales slips, and
a state disbursing office.
The farmer markets his products
in licensed elevator, creamery, live
stock commission company
tive or otherwise, as he desires. He
receives a sales slip showing the
kind, price and amount sold. These
sales slips with affdavits presented
to the county office for checking are
then to be passed on to the disburs-
ing office for payment In no case
more than $500 will be paid to any
farmer in any one calendar year. The
list of commodities on which benefit
payments are to be paid can be car
ried out as far as practical. All sec
tons of the United States should be
given consideration according to the
products each section produces.
advantages VI TldH
What are the advantages of this
plan?
l. 1t makes it possible for every
producer to come in for benefit pay
ments up to $500 each year when
prices are below the fixed base price
2. There would be no regimenta-
ton. Every farmer would be free
to sow and reap as he pleases.
g. 1t would take the government
out of the farming business.
f. The government would not en-
courage production above the limits
fixed.
5. The benefit payments would
automatically stop when the fixed
base price is reached.
g. 1t would prevent depressions in
agriculture.
7. In times of low prices it would
bring money into every farming COM
munity in the United States and, in
turn, would stimulate business and
keep labor employed in the manufac-
turing centers. What would it cost?
That is fair question. When prices
are up to the base fixed as stopping
place for benefits, it would cost the
government nothing. When prices
are very low it might cost the treas
ury couple billions per year. This
money would have to be raised
through the regular channels as now.
In all probability it would cost the
government less than is now spent.
1t would put American agriculture
on its feet and, in turn, start the
wheels of industry spinning and give
employment to laborers who are now
idle, and start us on the road to pros
perity.

Many names are connected with
the history of photography, but those
of two Frenchmen, Niepce and
Daguerre, stand at the head of the
list. Niepce, about 1927, produced the
first fixed or permanent photograph.
Daguerre's name is immortalized in
the old "daguerrotypes," the metal
photographs in which the faces of our
great-grandparents have come down
to us.

l see where loyalist soldiers, who
have been captured, are being sent
to concentration camps for recon-
Struction work in War-torn Spain
Now, if they would only put to work
those, who wreaked the havoc, it
would be more fair distribution of the
responsibility, like the time when l,
with other schoolmates, were caught
piling 900-pound railroad rails in
front of the schoolhouse door on
Halloween night we had to carry
them back to the railroad again.
I see where the United States may
assist Republican leaders in leaving
war-torn Spain. Why should we be
so concerned, now, with Republicans?
We weren't in the last election.
Well, it seems wherever there is
war, we are curious enough to want
to see how they conduct it, and we
must NEEDLE. We surely can't be
wrong all the time as a fellow
passenger told a curious woman on a
sightseeing bus in Hollywood. The
guide was calling out the names of
the famous residents whose homes
they passed and after announcing
the Davies home" the lady inquired:
you mean Marion Davies?" mo,
Henry Davies" the guide replied.
The next house was announced as the
Rogers home. Again the curious one:
"Oh yes, Buddy Rogers!" mo-" was
the guides scathing reply, "Will
Rogers" After a short time of abso-
lutte quiet, they came to large
edifice about which the guide said,
''This is the largest Temple in the
world" The bundle of curiosity
kept perfectly quiet until finally an in
terested passenger touched her elbow
and said, go on! Go ahead and ask
him if it is Shirley Temple; you
surely can't be wrong all the time"
It's certain that we will never be
in the predicament of a certain street
car passenger, who happened to sit
near very inquisitive man. Said the
inquisitor: 81 see you have your arm
in a sling; broken isn't it," eyes
SIR" responded the victim. "Meet
with an accident?" "No, broke it
while trying to pat myself on the
back" Great scott! What for?"
For minding my own business"
The national Congress, during the
first two months of its 1887 session,
passed IL major measures in the
Senate and 13 in the House. In the
current session 9 major bills have
been passed by the Senate and II
by the House. Some flippant person
has remarked that the decline in pro-
duction is due to so many Repub-
licans having been elected to that
lawmaking body at the last election.

Dear readers, you have read this

issue of 81 Would Say" was pub
lished on February II, 1888, and
have enjoyed immensely my weekly
visits to you and have appreciated
deeply your kind expressions in re-
CARDS to my column.
1 have thought myself to be an
average man, but having looked up
a sage's definition of the average

exactly fit. An average man is a
person who doesn't want much and
usually gets little less than that ). :.
the expressions from many of you
during the year have given me ample
pay for the work required to get out
the column.

ical standing, but all that is changed
now since l have been writing the
column, 81 Would Say" 1 have no
place to go politically :. l can't go
to Maine and Vermont, because I have

PoIish-Americon Club Here
Aids FdtherIund Defense
Leader Tells of Fund
Drive to Conform With
Neutrality Act
BY HENRY GEMMILL.

Dy 1ENA4vIALAfs
Aid to embattled Poland Is being
supplied from Washington by q
highly organized group of Polish
Americans.
The Neutrality Act forbids ANY
persons within the United States
to solicit or receive any contribu-
ton" for the government Of ANY
belligerent state" But officers of
the Polish Club of Washington re-
vealed yesterday that shortly be-
fore President Roosevelt invoked
this act they had collected and
slipped under the international
ropes a 5000 donation designated
specifically for purchase of NUM-
tions to be used by troops of the
Polish western front.
The sum was sent to the Polish
Army through the Polish National
Alliance, a federation of Polish
American groups throughout the
United States with a membership
of about 100000, 1t was stated.
A new appeal for funds-this time
altered to fit the neutrality procla-
mation-Will soon be presented to
the general public, it was announced
by Walter S. Pawl, president Of
the local group. Plans will be
formed in a meeting at 8 o'clock
Wednesday night in Stansbury Hall,
at Georgia avenue and Concord
street NV.
Relief Fund Permitted
The law now permits solicitation
here solely for medical aid food
and clothing to relieve human suf-
fering," If the funds are sent to a
governmental organization, and
Mr.. Pawl suggested that q door to-
door canvass will be made under
this provision. But, he admitted
some OF this money might still find
Its way into Polish armaments.
1T will be useful to have most of
what we send over 60 for relief
but II the civilian organiza tions
want to turn it into arms when it
arrives, don't see how it can be
prevented" Mr.. Pawl said.
President PaWl is serving his fifth
term as leader OF the 1876 members
of the little band of Polish-A
leans, and he is proud OF the clubs
history. 1t was formed in 1908,
when no Polish state existed on the
worlds maps, for the purpose Of aid
ing in the country's liberation. 1t
relaxed its efforts only when the
Versailles treaty carved out the new
boundaries which created Poland.
Obstacle to Fund Collection.
A determined jaw is the first thing
one notices about Mr.. PaWl. He was
born In Chicago, of parents immi-
grated from Warsaw and LWoW
