PeterSen'S Position.

I like the attitude of Senator A. J.
Rockne in disagreeing with me on the
merits of the state net income tax.
Bringing out points of difference in
such friendly manner makes for better
understanding of the issue and for
cooperation and progress in other
fields where there may be no dis
agreement.
The Senator writes that am sadly
mistaken in trying to demonstrate
that the farmers get any benefit from
the income tax.
It is agreed that real estate, per-
sonal property and social security
taxes are overhead expenses in any
business or industry and are passed
on to the consumer in the price of
the products sold. Not so with net
income, gift and inheritance taxes.
Business competitors have much

WEAKER NATIONS SUFFER

Editor Askov American:
This letter is to call the attention
of the people to the character of the
German government and the inhab-
itants of Germany, who uphold such
government.
Ever since the first World war,
Germany has used all its energy for
used all their young men for soldiers,
not only training them to be good
men-killers, but to make tools and
machinery to do it with.
Then they took one country and
territory after another by bluff, so
Germany became a great, powerful
nation. Then Poland. England and
France joined each other in an alli-
ance for defense.
When Germany started war on Po-
land the Allies notified her that they,
according to agreement, were bound
to help Poland. So Germany was the
aggressor in the war against the three
Allies who were united for defense.
Germany took Poland easily by brutal
robbery as England and France could
not get there to help them. Now
Germany had become large country
by all its bluffs and robberies.
The first thing for Germany to do
was to sink all nations ships, and to
start on France, but there was the
Maginot line and the Germans knew
that it was next to impossible for
them to go through there, so they
did not try it; but the German lead
ers were lucky, not to have such hui
mainly, conscience and Christianity
in them which forbade robbery and
any other actions of brutality. The
Germans had to go north of the Mag
mot line and through the two neutral
small peaceable countries, Holland
and Belgium, killing innocent civil
ians as well as soldiers; and robbing
them of everything so they had that
much more with which to fight
France.
Late last winter had a letter from
Denmark. In it 1 read: eve are
alright here; we are having plenty of
everything except coal. The Ger
mans are sinking our coal to the bot
tom of the sea so we are suffering
from the awful, cold winter. 1t is
not like it was during the World
war when we had to sell everything
to the Germans so we, ourselves,
were in need"
Last winter the Germans had no
money and their worthless paper
marks nobody could take in pay
ment, so the Germans did not buy
the Danish food. They knew where
it was and they knew of an easy way
to get it, so they came there in the
early morning like other robbers do
and took the whole country by land
ing troops IL places and placing bat
tleships to lombard Copenhagen if it
resisted. They took the whole coun-
try, with the people and all their
property, without warning. Now the
Danish people are German slaves.
They took Norway the same way, at
the same time, but Norway resisted
and had to suffer for it as robbers
will kill people if they can't take by
bluff. Both nations were peaceable
and had no dispute with Germany,
so it was plain robbery.

FIND THEY WERE MISTAKEN
(Tri-County FOrum)

(Irl-County FOrum)
The Stassen crowd sought to charge
the Farmer-Laborites in 1888 with
squandering a great deal of money
on projects, especially in the con-
servation department. They have
had to take lot of that back, though
they are not openly confessing the
fact, acting like all tricky politicians
do. One of these "squandered" pro-
jects is the Waskish spawning
grounds on the east end of Upper
Red Lake. Not only have they kept
up this project since they got into
power but they have expended still
more money to enlarge, as it is one
of the best pike spawning grounds
in the entire country.

VOTE FOR
CHARL ES J. BRENNAN

- : Ea = e
No sacrifice has ever been
too great for him to make to
serve the people Of this city.
Even though his duties as may
or did not demand it, his de-
sire to serve the people of
Dayton has been so great that
he has given unsparingly cf his
time, his effort, and he has
even neglected his own law
practice, thereby sacrificing
his own means of income
whenever the opportunity for
service presented itself.
Since elevation to higher
position in government is the
prerogative of the voters, the
election of Charles j. Brennan
as Judge of the Probate Court
will serve two purposes. First,
it will assure the people Of
Montgomery county Of a Judge
who has demonstrated his
ability and unselfish devotion
to the welfare Of the people
Of the community, and who
can be relied upon to admin
lister justice fairly and equit-
ably. Secondly, the voters
have IN opportunity to reward
faithful service, and express
continued confidence in him as
. public servant by electing
Charles j. Brennan Judge OF

 (The tragedy of Electra Is re- counted in Greek mythology. She drove her brother to take ven- geance upon their mother because she thought the mother had not been faithful to their father. In Freudian psychology the term, Electra complex" is used to des- cribe a person who is jealous of one parent for the love and attention of the other parent. Freud gives case histories of boys with such strong love for their mothers that they resent every caress, every kiss the father bestowed upon her, and of girls with the same feeling for their fatherS).
 Questioned 12 Hours
 Chloe was questioned for nearly 12 hours in a room in the Georgia street police hospital, with but brief respites. The questioning was conducted by Captain Edgar Ed wards, several detectives, and Dr.. De River. At no time, they said, did the child lose her placidity of dis position. They will question her fur ther today.
 Mrs. Willard Axtell, a former neighbor, told police that some time ago her daughter, Betsy, told her that "Chloe grabbed her mother by the hair and banged her head against concrete wall because her mother would not give her 8 nickel for ice cream"
 Chloe was the only survivor of the tragedy which occurred in the home of her father, F. Barton Davis, 51, a butcher. Police, respond ing to a call from a neighbor, went there yesterday and found Mrs. Lo- lita Davis, 36, dead of heavy blows and burns, Mark, dead of crushed skull, and Daphne and Ann dying of identical head wounds.

 Her father was dazed with shock. At police headquarters he nearly had collapsed.
