Deficiency Revealed

DR.. Brady terms heavy drinkers,
who cannot leave it alone, children.
People below normal he classes as
follows:
Speaking of childishness, it may
be well to note the difference between
the mentality of a normal child and
that of moron, or an imbecile, or
an idiot. An idiot is a person whose
mental development never advances
beyond that of normal 3-year-old
child. An imbecile is one whose men,
tai development is arrested at the
level of that of normal 7-year-old
child. A moron is one whose mental
ability is limited to that of the normal
12-year-old child. Unlike the normal
child of IL, the moron is incapable
of further mental development, edu-
cation or learning. Physically, adult
morOns are the equals of adults of
normal intelligence. Millions of NOR
ons are good laborers, factory or ma
chine hands, watchmen, policemen,
soldiers, carriers, parents, citizens.
Morons may be faithful, loyal, gentle,
kind and brave. In ordinary appear
ance or manner morons may seem
normal enough; it is only when they
have to exercise discretion, wisdom,
judgment or reasoning that their de-
ficiency is revealed"

BORROWED PRONUNCIATION
minneapolis Tribune)

In view of momentous issues con-
fronting troubled world, arguments
over the mere pronunciation of a
word seem insignificant. Yet it is
much easier to settle some of those
minor arguments than it would be
to reconcile major disputes of the
moment. Take the pronunciation of
'either" and neither" for instance.
The average, mine run of Americans
say ''eether" and "neether." Their
almost snobbishly correct brethren
insist upon 'eyether" and "neyether."
Yet it just happens that the sticklers
for elegance and correctness in speech
are wrong. "Eether" and "neether'
are right.
A recent English volume points out
that the "eyether" and "neyether"
pronunciation came into daily speech
at the time of King George III-the
Monarch whose yoke the rising Amer
lean colonies cast off. In German,
the vowel combination eel" is pro-
nounced "eye," and the combination
''ie' is sounded "ee." The early
Georges spoke English brokenly; the
first one never learned the language.
Their German pronunciation of ''eith-
err" and neither" came to be &C
copied at court. 1t was truly the
Kings English"-and so the mis-
pronunciation spread. Americans
have aped the supposedly correct
British in picking up the mistaken
pronunciation.
Between the two extremes that
of careless, slipshod speech as con-
trasted with affected elegance-the
sins of the careless seem far more
tolerable.

"WAR is A RACKET"
Editor ASkov American:

Editor ASkOV American:
Many people who went through the
last war and made a deep study of
the aftermath came to the conclu-
sion, as my friend-the late General
Butler said-'war is racket" Any
one who has closely followed this war
can hardly come to any other con-
clusion after seeing France and Eng
land fighting each other.
The tragic part of the whole thing
is that so many people fall for the
idolatry of war, so ably advanced by
war-mongers and others who always
advocate war over everything and
anything. We have a good healthy
crop of war-mongers in this country,
who, for the time being, have pulled
in their neckS as they cannot very
well fight for the allies, France and
England, now that they are fighting
each other. Another tragic result
of this war is the thousands of young
men killed in France, millions of peo-
pie chased from their homes. Many
children who will never be normal,
will grow up with a resentment
against those foolish people who
dashed France into war. They were
not prepared and promptly fell
asleep, hoping Uncle Sammy would
again come to the rescue. France
could i'll afford to lose the cream of
her manhood.
It is the opinion that war will not
entirely be eliminated for perhaps
thousands of years, but it is not nee
essary to have war every Is years.
One or two wars in every century
is certainly enough and too many.
Any time a nation substitutes ideal
ism for common sense and judgment
it will rue the day. Liberty, freedom
and democracy are in a way Incl
dental to good economic conditions;
without good economic conditions
there can be no democracy. People
who were born with a silver spoon in
their mouth and have lived the same
way sometimes say life without lib
erty is not worth living, but they do
not understand life itself. They do
not understand the basic principle of
MISREPRESENTATION.

Unfairness To Aliens

In trying times such as these
when wars are raging in Europe
and Asia, and war clouds hang
over the entire world, it is we'll
to be calm and cool. War hysteria
might bring on many injustices to
newcomers in this country who
may not yet have become citizens.
An article along those lines
which brings out some excellent
thoughts was published in the
readers column of the Mime
apoliS Star Journal the other day.
It was written by E. F. FREEZER
of Minneapolis, and follows:
To the Editor: The Star Journal
Of July says Mayor Leach an
bounced that at the next meeting
Of the board of public welfare he will
offer a resolution "to ban aliens, Com
nunists and Nazi bund members from
.elief rolls" AS a citizen of long

OIL GROUP TOO STRONG
(The Minnesota State Review

The Willmar city council has
protested to the Interstate Com
merce commission against the
granting of permits to trucking
companies for bulk transportation
of gasoline in mammoth tanks
across the state. The councils
resolutions state that the addi-
ton to highway traffic of large
tank transports carrying highly
inflammable liquids will add
greatly to the already serious
hazards of highway transporta-
ton. The council is absolutely
right about that. These huge
transports are a menace that
should be eradicated from the
highways.-Red Lake Falls Ga
zette.
During the last session of the Leg.
stature, a bill was introduced by thu
safety groups, and backed by the state
Railroad commission, to limit the
loads of gasoline that could be trans.
ported over the Minnesota highways
The bill was passed by both house.
IF the Legislature by comfortable
nargin-but was vetoed by the Gov.
ernor. The bill had the support o
many civic bodies of the state-anc
should have been made law. Nov
the suggestion that the city of Will
mar appeal to the Interstate Com
nerce commission to stop this danger
ous evil, probably means that the re-
lief needed will have to come from
some governmental agency, as long a
the big oil companies can proven
such necessary laws being put in force
here.

Minneapolis residence and taxpayer,

Minneapolis residence and taxpayer,
l wish to protest against such a step.
The whole thing is rather indicative
of what mass hysteria will do to the
thinking processes of men who for
years have shown themselves capable
of keeping both feet on the ground.
The grouping of aliens with Com
munists and Nazis and, in the second
paragraph of the story, with anti
American advocates, is so thoroughly
unfair and un-American that it must
have shocked thousands of Mime
apolis citizens as it did this writer.
We must not lose sight of the fact
that, at one time or another, we or our
progenitorS were also aliens. This
writer has had contact with those who
carry on Americanization work, and
has done some of it himself, and is in
position to state that many native
American could take a lesson or two
in loving America from some of the
aliens.
All our efforts in these trying times
should be directed towards unifying
and cementing America, not dividing
it. During the World war, thousands
of "aliens" gave their all for America,
and will again respond if America
should call upon them.
Let us not embark upon the dan
gerous road which leads to that very
evil which we are trying to combat.
Let us not mar the name of our beau
tiful American city by passing an or
dinance so grossly unfair and so dam
gerously un-American.

PeterSen'S Reply.

AS before stated, the prices on
farm machinery in Minnesota and out
over the nation fluctuated long be-
fore the Minnesota income tax law of
1888. In 1880 Mccormick
binder, plain oiler, six-foot, horse
drawn, sold to the farmer at 1925. In
1886 it was $3.50; in 1900, Sl20; in
1913, S135; in 1926, S206; in 1887 the
six-foot horse-drawn binder with
Zerk oiler sold at S226.25; in 1910,
$198.75; the fully enclosed, all gears
running in oil, SiX-foot binder sells
now at S240.50.
Senator Rockne continues to argue
that all taxes are passed on to the
consumer. l maintain that income
taxes are passed on only by monopo-
lies. Gift and inheritance taxes also
stick and cannot be passed on to the
consumer.
The Senator talks so much about
the farmer. He must know that the
farmer and farm organizations
pleaded for the income tax law. 1t
could have been enacted in the state
of Minnesota ever since 1906 when
the wide open tax amendment was
adopted by vote of the people.
Mr.. Rockne maintains that our
school attendance has gone down
over $4,000 since the passage of the
income tax law. Here are the figures
from the Department of Education:
At the end of the 1882 school year,
the total enrolment for grade and
high schools of Minnesota was $685.
148. The average daily attendance
was 475,174 In 1888 the enrolment
was 1865 and the average daily
attendance 464, 248. The enrolment
has dropped 15,483, and not 10000.
The Senator also states that Iowa
and Wisconsin do not pay as much
from the state treasury to the public
schools as does Minnesota.
In 1888 the Minnesota schools re-
ceived from the income tax money
an allotment of approximately ST.
100000 in the month of April before
the school year ended. That allot-
ment in former years held over until
the month of August, in the next
school year. 1t is now being paid
before June 30th. The figure of 10
million quoted by the Senator is
therefore approximately 21s million
greater than would ordinarily be the
case.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1940-07-11
Senator ROckne'S Version.

Hjalmar Petersen'S statement at
temptS to cover up rather annoying
situation. He has not tried to argue
that the income tax became a re-
placement tax for educational pur-
poses because the appropriations for
aid to schools has come up several
millions since the passage of the in
come tax law, so the income tax law
was not a replacement but became,
as we said, an additional tax only.
He does not meet my argument as
to the increase in prices of the farm
machinery because that went up in
1885 and 1887 to the amount stated
in my article, namely 80 to 40 per
cent, and the farmers are the buyers
of that.
All business men, big and small,
necessarily have to pass on all taxes
to the consumer and the consumer
in the end must pay, and when you
get down to analysis, it is the farmer
that produces the new wealth, except
such additional wealth as may be
added to the farm products by labor.
We, of course, appreciate the
friendly tone of Mr.. Petersen's letter
and have nothing to retract in so far
as we commend Mr.. Petersen as a
fair minded man who could be trusted
in handling public affairs, but when
he attempts to justify the passing of
the income tax, he is, l think, mis-
taken.
Our school attendance has gone
down over $4,000 since the passing
of the income tax law and yet the
amount we have to pay has increased.
Iowa, from its state treasury, gives
100000 for aid to schools, and Wis
consin, known as a progressive state,
pays 6 million 700 thousand dollars
from its state treasury, while Mime
sofa, from its state treasury, donates
S19,000,000 alone.
Will Mr.. Petersen kindly explain
why this load should be laid on the
taxpayers Of Minnesota.

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

Miss Virginia Karlson recently Wis
tied family of five children who
were i'll with scarlet fever. The
mother and attendant were given in
structions and suggestions as to how
to keep the disease from spreading
and told of the dangers of such a dis
ease. Many children have heart trou-
BILE, running ears, or kidney trouble
following this disease. A child with
scarlet fever should be kept in bed
until the doctor says he may get up.
An elderly women was visited by
the nurse and helped by applying a
dressing the doctor had ordered for
her.
Glasses Make Progress.
The class in home nursing met at
the home of Mrs. Trealors recently.
Miss Karlson gave the women a test
on the material they have covered
in nursing and first aid. This group
is going to meet and make obstetricaI
packs some time in August.
The Girl Scout group met We'd
nesday. They have finished their
course on first aid. Thursday, July
II, these girls will give a first aid
demonstration to the Legion Aux
iliary in the Askov park. These
women will be interested in seeing
the first aid principles, dressings and
bandages the girls have learned.
Dental Care Discussed.
The northeastern subcommittee
met July 5, at the home of Mrs. Svend
Petersen in Askov. There were ii
women present. Mrs. Victor john
son, chairman, presided. The secre-
tary's and treasurer's reports were
read and accepted. Miss Karlson gave
her report.
Mrs. James Murphy gave special
topic on the function of Local Health
Departments" The group discussed
the dental situation in this area, as
there are so many children with poor
teeth. While it is thought the soil
may be lacking in essential minerals,
the group agreed that food, both for
eXpectant mothers and growing chill
dren, was important in teeth forma-
ton.
The baby teeth are formed before
the baby is born and the second teeth
begin to form in the jaw before the
baby is born and in early life. Proper
feeding is important in every age
group.
Miss Karlson's summer vacation
will begin July % and end August 10.
Subcommittee women will have a
chance to promote better health of
mothers and infants in their neigh
borhood if they encourage all moth
ers to seek the advice of their ply
sicians. They are urged to keep in
touch with families in which new
babies are expected and report to
Miss Karlson on her return. Urge
girls and women to join and attend
the health classes and share your
literature and bulletins with your
neighborS.
