Action, Not Talk,
Is Needed!

We, the people, have heard so
much about investigations and pro-
secutions during the past several
weeks and even months that we are
beginning to tire of all the talk.
If there has been wrong-doing in
the administration of governmental
affairs then we should like to have
the investigation made and the guilty
ones punished. If there is no indi-
cation of wrong-doing then the talk
ing is taking the place of efforts in
needed duties.
There was corruption in the State
Oil Inspection department and two
of the wrong-doers are already serv-
ing time in prison. If there has been
similar criminal activity in other de-
partments, then an early investiga-
ton can do whole lot toward clear
ing the air and getting the state news
sources and administrative machin-
cry back on an even keel.
We should like to see little more
action and less words, if there is
proof that everything is not well.

Better Times =?

Reports coming from the eastern
sections of the country and even in
nearby states announce a wave of
business and industrial activity, which
we hope is positive. Experts speak
the trend and visitors from other
states tell of it, but through what
means and how permanent they do
not say, nor do they know.
Even though we would like to be-
lieve that a wave of prosperity is
near and even though we have always
been firm believers in optimism as
upbuilding where pessimism tears
down, we cannot see a permanent
trend toward better times until the
farmer is placed on a basis of parity
with industry. Right now as we
write this the announcement comes
that the price of eggs has dropped
another three cents since last week S
issue was printed. That leaves us a
situation whereby one cent is paid for
a good big egg. Twelve cents dozen,
mind you, for some of the best food
in the land; a food which has so
many uses on our tables and in our
bills of fare that we cannot count
them on our two hands Isn't that
outrageous? Can there be a wave,
permanent one, of prosperity until
the prices of raw farm materials
bring a price which is commensurate
to their value in America and the
worlds everyday life?
Furthermore the price of butter
fat, as quoted by the cooperative
creamery, is 26 cents. Can we, by
any stretch of the imagination, see
the dairy farmer making comfort
able existence with that price for
his product? Can we see the grain
farmer driving Rolls Royces or even
a new Ford occasionally, with 60-cent
wheat to supply the buying power?
No we can't and neither can we, even
though we are willing to stretch our
imagination considerably, see per-
manent prosperity coming to this
country of ours unless we can gel
the prices of farm products up to a
cost of production-plus basis and
get them to stay there.
How? That's what we'd all like
to know. Let's think, and work for it

Scout Work

The week of February to IA is
to be known as Boy Scout Week
throughout the nation for that will
mark the 29th anniversary of the
incorporation of the Boy Scouts OF
America. There are 39,750 Boy Scout
troops, cub packs and sea scout ships
which now include 1,233,950 boys
and men, membership gain of bet
ter than 1870 in the past year. Since
the beginning of Scouting in Amer
lea 100000 boys and men have
been identified with the movement
1t is truly great movement which
trains boys in self-reliance and self
restraint. The movement in many
places has been more of means
than perhaps many realize in cut
ting DE- 'vn juvenile delinquency and
it is making men out of otherwise
wayward lads. Especially is its func-
tons important in the larger centers
of population.
Every city, village and hamlet
throughout the world should have
a Scout troop and the troop should
be backed by concerted effort to
make its work outstanding.

THE ROOTS OF NATIONALISM
(The Minneapolis JournaD

(The Minneapolis JournaD
Napoleon is said to have expressed
the opinion that France would have
been better off if he had never lived
Undoubtedly he did not wish the
statement to be taken too seriously,
but many later historians have in
clined to the feeling that this state
ment was quite correct. To make
Napoleon master of the world, count
less thousands of Frenchmen died. A
whole generation of his countrymen
were sacrificed on the altar of his
ambition.
Napoleon did restore order after
the tremendous upheaval of the Revo-
luton. He greatly centralized the
government of France and reorganized
its administrative system. He regi-
mented the minds of his people, but
he did not make France a unified ma
ton because it had been that long
before Napoleon seized power.
In real sense, the work of Bis
marck was much more solid and per-
manent than that of Napoleon He
found Germany a confusion of frag-
mentary sovereign states within king
doms, duchies and principalities all
entangled, and he left it an empire
with reasonable degree of national
unity AS with other leaders, Bis
marck's work has proved solid only
in so far is it expressed the universal
aspiration of the German people.
They had demanded national unity
long before Bismarck came into pow
err. Germany might have become a
united nation without Bismarck, but
he made her a Hohenzollern empire.
The demand for national unity and
morale still continues. 1t has been
very evident in our day and genera
ton. How are these values best Sc
cured? What is the basis of national
ism, after all? Does it issue out of
hatred and appeals to force? Does
it arise from fear and suspicion, from
intense racial bitterness and religious
intolerance?
Surely the history of the United
States throws light upon the true basis
of nationalism. The roots of national
ism do not consist of identity of race
similarity of religious ideas or the
desire for conquest. The inspiration
to nationalism does not lie in the
overriding of minorities nor in pow
er-politics.
Ideals and aspirations have done
more to make the United States a
nation than have pressures and COM
pulsions. The American dream which
has lured tens of millions of all ma
tons to our shores in the past CEN
fury has not been a dream merely OF
material prosperity, though this has
doubtless counted heavily. The in
spiration to nationhood in this coun-
try has been much more than merely
an economic urge. It has been the
challenge of ideals and inspirations

Petersen Talks To
State Farm Bureau
Continued from Page y

United States Department of Agri-
culture. I mention this situation to
call to your attention the very great
Importance of transportation costs to
farmers.
He Owed Transportation Money.
You have probably heard the story
circulated few years ago, about a
man from the western part of the
state who shipped a bunch of hides
to tannery at South st. Paul, and
was later billed for about SIS for the
excess cost of the transportation
charges over what the hides brought
at the tannery. 1t may be helpful to
you in getting the idea of the import
ance of transportation costs if give
you some figures on such costs.
Products of agriculture and pro-
ducts of animals, in the United States
as a whole in 1887, paid the enor-
nous sum of 1888 100000 in railroad
transportation costs. The North
western region alone, or the territory
west of the Mississippi river, which
includes Minnesota, Iowa, the Da-
kotas and Montana, and portions OF
the states west thereof, paid, $780,
100000 in transportation costs. These
costs, you understand, are directly
deducted from your yearly income
Figures quoted cover only the trans
portation costs by railroads and do
not include the transportation costs
of truck lines, which constitute a
substantial sum that must be added
to the transportation bill.
By way of giving you an idea of
the Importance of transportation costs
to the general public, might say that
for freight and passenger services
combined, the consumers of the
United States in 1887 paid the rail-
roads $4,166, 100000. This does not
include the amount paid for truck
transportation service which is an
important item, and while there are
no figures available-because of the
nature of the trucking business-it
may be said that it would add hun
dreds of millions to the bill When
we take into account the fact that
the gross income of the United States
for all goods produced and services
performed in 1887 was around $751;
000,000,OO0, we get some idea of how
transportation costs affect net income.
Two Major Transportation Systems.
We have today, two major trans
portation systems-the railroads and
the motor carriers. In theory, the
railroad is designed to accommodate
the long hauls and carry the more
bulky commodities, while the truck
is designed to handle the short haul
traffic and less bulky commodities,
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-01-26

the fair value of the properties, the
cost of rendering the service, includ-
ing reasonable rate of return op. the
fair value.
Improvement Suggestions.
The thought in your mind and the
question you likely desire to have
answered is: what, if any, relief
may we expect in the form of re-
duced transportation rates?"
Taking into account, the reduced
volume of traffic transported during
the eight years last past, and the
ever increasing number of truck
transportation companies and units,
my answer would be, none, unless
and until the following factors are
brought into play:
l. A substantial increase in volume
of traffic
2. A consolidation of railroad term
inal facilities and the elimination of
all duplicate rail facilities and serv-
ices.
3. Legislation authorizing the Rail-
road and Warehouse Commission to
reduce the number of truck units now
in use, so that those remaining in
service can be supervised and oper-
ated more efficiently with greater
regularity, resulting in lower cost to
the shipper and increased income to
the carrier.
4. That all persons, other than
farmers engaged in hauling their own
products, and all truck units, other
than those owned and used by bona
fide farmers, engaged in transport
ing property and goods over the
highways, be placed under regulation
and that all be made to observe the
same rules and regulations applicable
to those now subject to regulation.
AS producers and consumers you
are interested in these proposals
which will provide adequate trans
portation at lower cost, and your CO.
operation is desired and invited.
