The Auto Tag
Deadline

On December 81 of each year the
license plate on each automobile, &C
cording to law has served its purpose
and must be renewed. The law al
the same time recognizes the fact
that the Minnesota public needs few
days of grace on many of its under
takings to complete the task at hand,
especially when money is involved,
and therefore gives it an extension
period until February Is in which
to purchase the new plates without
penalty. Now then, after that per-
iod of grace, the good old law once
again comes to the aid of busy John
Q. Minnesotan and gives him until
April to get those new plates on
his car.
After that date, however, the law
instead of being a lamb, becomes a
growing lion and attacks any one
caught out without the new adorn-
ment on his automobile So, the
warning goes out, by highway patrol
men backed up by a law with teeth
in it, that anyone now caught OPP
Grating his car with 1888 plates on ii
will be subject to arrest and what is
more, will be arrested.
Better get 'em on!

Britain and France-at the moment
when British and French toes are
stepped upon, then something is like
ly to happen. But, as long as it is
merely the fate of some little, far
away countries that is involved, il
doesn't matter so much!
Just now there is danger of Italy
getting the upper hand in the Mediter-
ranean, which is a distinctly British
sphere of interest. That explains
British concern about reported troop
movements near the Albanian-Greek
border. British statesmen have nc
particular reason to worry about
Greece-but the waters around that
country-and the rest of the Mediter-
ranean-well, that's different story!
Next week one will know more
about the outcome of a possibly i'm
pending clash between relationships
and democracies. To offer predic-
tons now would be futile and foolish
for no one can tell what will happen
Maybe the worst-maybe something
that is not quite as bad as it now
looks.

THE MIRROR
Askov Public Schools

A special assembly was held Wednesday
morning, April S, at which Daniel Aakhus
entertained by playing a number of selec-
tons on his violin The last time Mr.
AakhuS was here and tuned the schools
pianos, 1t was discovered that he was also
talented violinist. AS a result, he was
asked to give a demonstration of his
skill. which proved to be excellent. His
beautiful and pleasing selections kept the
pupils entertained for about 20 minutes.
Among the selections were Ave Maria"
and Dams Old Time Waltz" which was
one of his own compositions. He was
accompanied by Mavis Conway at the
piano.
The high school observed Good Friday
by special assembly from three to three
thirty o'clock Friday. Rev. jobs. Knudsen
kindly consented to talk and brought the
students an appropriate message on the
meaning of Good Friday. He explained
the different symbols used by the Chris
tians and other people of early times.
The assembly was closed with the singing
of hymns. School was dismissed at three
thirty in observance of the holiday.
First and Second Grades.

office and the adjutant general.
6. Officers and employees of the leg
islature.
z. Attorney generals assistants.
8. Persons under jurisdiction of the
University.
9. State highway patrol will retain
their present classified service act.
10. A number of part time and spe-
cialized employees. Under provisions
of the Senate bill, all present en-
ployes must take some kind of quail
flying examination to get certified
in the classified service. Veterans
would have five and ten point pra-
ference and veterans now employed
would not be displaced until they take
the qualifying examination. Objec-
tons to the bill are that there are
too many exemptions. Too many
jobs, especially those near the top
are not in the classified service. The
Senate bill would not become effec-
tive before July l, 1910 and it can
readily be seen that the present spoils
system would be given ample time
to load up the various departments.
One of our country papers very clev-
erly called the bill a Civil Service
for the benefit of those who voted
for the present administration. We
cannot expect to have a perfect law.
1t may be the start for better public
service.
Old Age Assistance.
The Senate last week went on
record for lien on the homes of
recipients of Old Age Assistance. The
conservatives have always supported
the lien and it was because of a SIM
liar amendment which crept into the
bill in 1885, the so-called Rockne
amendment, the legislature was called
into special session. We admit that
some chiseling went on in handling
aids but I am convinced that the
lien clause will react unfavorably
and greater injustices will result.

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Once more, events are marching
so rapidly that it is almost impossible
for even newspapers to keep up
with them, and the general design
of international developments is
changing from hour to hour. The re-
suit is that certain situation ex-
listing at the moment of writing will
look entirely different at the moment
of reading.
When, for instance, last week the
preceding installment of this Review
series was written, there was no in
dication that Europe's map would
have undergone another alteration be-
fore the article was printed. But so
it was. With lightning swiftness Mus
solini's troops moved into the hapless
land of Albania and, although meet
ing with sporadic resistance, quickly
conquered it, moved into Tirana, the
capital, and raised the flag of Italy
above it. The king, Zoghu Ahmed,
and his consort, Queen Geraldine,
fled with their two-day old son to
a safer haven in Greece.
Protection and Guarantees.
Albania, for alphabetical reasons
heading the membership list of the
League of Nations, the International
Justice Court at The Hague, and the
signers of the Briand-Kellogg treaty
against war, ceased to ceased
to exist in spite of all these protective
agencies, and in spite of the fact that
Italy itself had guaranteed the coun-
try's independence and repeatedly as
sured it of friendship and active good
will.
Against Albania's air force of two
planes Mussolini's bombers, four
hundred in number, flew into the
country dropping death and destruc-
ton below them wherever they went;
against a tiny and poorly equipped
army of between $4,000 and $4,000
Albanian soldiers Mussolini sent
$4,000 of his highly trained men
armed with all the most modern
weapons yet contrived, and always
impressing on the world that should
$4,000 not be enough, there were
hundreds of thousands of men ready
in Italy for actual warfare at mo-
ment's notice.
Under these circumstances it be-
comes a little difficult to understand
the Italian claim that Mussolini
"again proved his supreme heroism";;
outside Italy there is tendency to
apply the truer word, banditry, to his
exploit.
And Why -?
Why was it necessary to swallow
up Albania? Dictators generally
despise public opinion so thoroughly
that they consider it beneath their
dignity to offer explanations, but in
this case the government-con

Voice From Senate
BY SEN. c. ELMER JOHNSON.
From Pine and Chisago Counties

This week has program full of
special orders. BY the time this ap-
pears, the tax bills, appropriation
bills, the labor relations and reor-
ganization bill all will have a time
fixed for consideration.
The Labor Relations Act.
The Governor wisely called con-
ference and as a result the Vance
Myre bill was shelved for measure
less drastic. The amended bill will
set up the machinery for settling dis
putes between labor and industry
and lays down rules and regulations.
1t does not satisfy labor or industry
entirely and it should not. To be
effective, Labor Relations board
must be neutral.
School Aids.
The House passed a fairly good
appropriation for schools. The report
of the committee was amended with
an appreciable increase. The Sen
ate Committee on Finance was hard
on school aid and they even yet have
not recommended anything for spon-
sors' contributions (that is, special
state assistance to finance construc-
ton in emergency cases). We are
very much in hope that school aids
will be materially increased when
the question comes before the whole
Senate.
Reorganization.
The Reorganization bill which
passed the House very hurriedly, will
have rough going in the Senate A
great many members feel that a
change on such a large scale, really
revolutionary in scope, should be
given more than just few hours
elaboration and we have not had
time to give the plan thorough study.
Again, others point out that the bill
allows too great centralized control.
Civil Service Passes Senate.
After a great amount of study by
the Senate Committee of Civil Adj
ministration and by subcommittee,
the Civil Service bill passed the Sem
ate with only five dissenting votes.
So many changes were made in the
House bill that it is a question of
what form it will have when the con-
ference committee gets through with
it.
A new state department, "The De-
partment of Civil Service" is formed
and consists of board of three
members appointed by the Governor
within 80 days of the passage of the
bill. This board shall appoint a
director after an open competitive
examination. The board is paid SIS
per diem and expenses-the director
not less than $4,000 nor more than
$1,000 per year. The Civil Service
board shall be appointed for six
year term. The director shall be in
the classified service and shall not
be removed except on written charges
and public hearing. The following
are exempt from classified service:
l. Elected state officers.
2. Heads of departments required
by law to be appointed by the Gov
ernor and administrative heads of
divisions and institutions appointed
by such heads of department boards
or commissions.
8. One private secretary and four
confidential employees of the state
auditor and treasurer and one private
secretary to each of the other cleo
tive officers of the state.
4. All deputy registrars of motor
vehicles.
S. One secretary. and five other con-

The locomotive seems to be about
the same as the one in 1910, but it
has a new covering-a streamline
jacket. That, guess, seems to make
the difference in speed and efficiency.
Well, 1 guess that's the way it is
with us human beings, we all start
out with the same kind of insides,
but the covering we acquire makes up
the difference somehow.

You know, by gum, it just occurred
to me that these trains have just
come into vogue since the New Deal
and I reckon it's because we must
keep up with it somehow. I under
stand, though, that the old, slower
equipment can still be used in case
the Republicans win in 1910.
Many, by then, presume will be
tired of speed and will want to ride
on it again.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-04-13

any more convenient If LandOn had
been sent to the White House.
Business and industry must fold
its tent like the Arab and silently
steal away, if the version of some
politicians is true. According to
what we have heard it left Minnesota
during the Farmer-Labor administra-
ton and then during the recent Chi
cago city election it was again in
danger of having to move, because
there was Republican administra-
ton in power and there was young
Democrat wanting the job as mayor.
Now that the Windy City has re-
elected its Republican mayor, we
might say that business, industry and
the young Democrat have gone with
the wind.
You know since about 10 percent
of the people of this country are sup
posed to control IS percent of the
wealth, it should be an easy matter
for the 80 percent of us to vote to
wipe the slate clean as far as our
bonded indebtedness is concerned,
and start all over again.
But listen now, nary cent will
we ever let the Republicans and Dem
ocrats handle for us again. tell you
what We'll do, We'll let the Com
munists have control and after a
period of, say from two to three
years, after they have had time
enough to get their program working
successfully, We'll turn the system
into socialism and make some of
those fellows divide with the Re-
publicans and Democrats what they
have gained in that period F.. by
that time we shall have come to re-
spect the old elephant and donkey.
We often hear a politician say from
his campaign platform that we should
send more representatives to our leg
islative halls who are from the masses.
An "admiring" wife gives folly to
that kind of system when, after hear
ing her husband explaining exactly
why the bank rate stood at its pres
ent figure, why the economic recess
sion existed and how it could be
cured, said: Dear, it seems wonder
full that anyone could know so much
about money as you do without hav-
ing any,"
