A STORY IN SILVER
(Austin Daily Herald)

We don't see many silver dollars
any more.
They used to have a good COM
forting touch to the palm Of the hand,
and a pocketful of silver was a fine
thing to have. But silver dollars
were kind of unwieldy, and by COM
mon consent they dropped out of
fashion.
The other day, though, Midwest
ern company brought silver dollars
back into circulation for brief day
of glory. 1t paid its whole payroll in
silver dollars, in order to watch the
way that the industrial payroll circu-
lated all through the community.
The results were enlightening for
all concerned. AS silver d o ii S
passed across store counters, from
hand to hand and pocketbook to pock-
etbook, the community gained an en-
tirely new conception of the impor-
tant part that the industrial dollar
plays in bringing prosperity and gen.
eral well-being into a town where a
factory's located.

Harold and Joe Join Hands
With the Barefoot Boy
New Ulm Daily Journal)

In a recent visit to Chicago the
writer had the occasion to look up
some friends and acquaintance who
hold important big business posi-
tons down in that Busted Babylon.
Invariably they were out and the girl
in the office or at the telephone ex-
changes usually announced they were

they had become New Dealers "for
the duration" This was quite sur
prising because just a few months
ago they were leading the crusade
for democracy, for the free enter
prise system, and against involvement
in war, headed by Willkie, the bare
foot boy of Wall Street. In just a
few months they had taken some
somersaults which would win the
respect of any circus performer.
Their somersaults have been no
more exciting than those which the
barefoot boy" himself has taken to
the alarm or edification of the pub
lie. Willkie, who was worried just
a few months ago about Roosevelt's
urge for power, about Roosevelts
attempts to lead us into war and
dictatorship, today is backing up the
Roosevelt foreign war policy to such
an extent that he is even willing to

WAS A SAD MISTAKE
(Willmar Tribune)

The states old Capitol Square is
still used as a parking lot, yielding
a comparatively small rental. I'm
d er the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
policy of past legislatures and adj
ministrations> (and the action was
not confined to any one party the
state two years ago appropriated
$4,000 to enable the old Capitol to
be torn down. This on the plea
that it was an "eyesore", firetrap,
and that there were people ready to
trade lots up near the new Capitol
in exchange for the block.
This was not true, and it was
pointed out at the time. The old
building had been sadly neglected
and skinned" inside, but neverthe-
less the walls were perfectly sound
and leading architects testified that
it was not firetrap and could cas-
lily have been made practically fire
proof by pouring concrete slabs for
floors. 1t could have been put in
shape for two to three hundred
thousand dollars, and have pro-
vided ample space for the state and
federal offices that are now costing
the state $1l3, 900 per year in rentals.
So far there have been no ex-
changes made for property near the
new capitol complex and it is
doubtful if the state can give a
good title as the block had been
donated for capitol purposes.
Then there is the sentimental side
as well as the practical. The old
capitol was an historical shrine of
no small importance, and much of
the space it might have afforded is
needed right now for state his
torical museum purposes. Properly
restored and the lot handicapped it
would have stood as worthy mon
ument of an important era in the
states history-a perfect specimen
of Victorian architecture and early
construction. And the great men
who served the state within its walls
might have been commemorated with
suitable exhibits.
But it is too late to ''cry over
split milk" now. The mischief cam
not be undone. But it should teach
Lawmakers to give more attention
to all sides of questions, and not listen
only to one side, which in this case
were ill-advised st. Paul boosters.
Now the question looms up for a
new office building, which will like
ly cost a million dollars more or
less. BY all means, the state should
house its own officials, and as close
in as possible to expediate business
and make it convenient for the
public that has matters to attend
| to in the departments.

May Divide Credit.
If husband and wife, living to-
gether, each have income of their
own and make separate returns, this
credit may be divided between them
in any proportion desired.
The Head of Household" is an
individual who actually supports and
maintains in one household one or
more individuals who are closely
connected with him by blood rela-
tionship, marriage or adoption, and
whose right to exercise family con-
troll and provide for these dependents
is based upon some moral or legal
obligation.
8. A credit of $500 for each person

pendent upon and receiving his chief
support from the taxpayer. Deepen

payer or live with him. This credit
for dependents is based upon actual
financial dependency and not mere
legal dependency. The test in the

THAT MAN WASHINGTON
New Ulm Daily Journal)


For all-round man we nominate
George Washington. In this age of
narrow specialization it's surprising
to remember what that man could
do. ~
He was an athlete-a hefty fellow
with an AK, or in a wrestling match,
or on a days march, and how he
could throw a stone or dollar!
He was a good shot with gun
and a good horseman and hunter.
He was a social person, who loved
to dance and play cards.
He was surveyor and keen real
estate man.
He was probably the best farmer
of his time, and master of all the
trades and tasks involved in operat-
ing a big plantation with its work.
ing force.
He was a good enough amateur
military man to keep an army in the
field for years, defeat European gen.
erals and win war for independence.
He knew enough about government
to be chairman Of the convention that
adopted our Constitution, and he pio-
neered the presidency.
With little regular education, he
learned to speak and write effectively.
Not brilliant, not genius, not
self-assertive, he was a man that
other men were always putting first.
He had character DerSOna1itv in
dustry, and great faithfulness.

YES, PRICES WILL GO UP
dodge County Republican,


Buy now while prices are low!
1t is a familiar quip these days as
merchants advertise to clear stocks.
But it has a note of warning too!
Will prices be higher? Well, will
the sun rise tomorrow? If it does
then prices will be higher. Prices
for everything!
Price-hiking in many lines of mer-
chandise may come slowly-slower
than it did in the first world war.
But prices will increase. Foodstuffs
of all kinds are bound to 60 up.
Clothing, machinery, autos, luxury
goods and building materials will
all see higher price scales in the
future.
Why? For one thing, manufac-
turers are beginning to feel the pinch
of more and higher taxes. Wages
are being raised in the big industries.
Raw materials in some cases are not
so easy to buy. Factories are pre-
pairing to produce for defense con-
tracts, which means that production
for consumer demand will be cur
tailed in varying degrees. AS the
supply dwindles and demand increas-
es, the price goes up. Another factor
that we can't escape is the inevitable
approach of initiation More dollars
rolling around, but all of them worth
less than usual. Since your dollar
is worth less, the producer and the
manufacturer must increase his price.
For all of these things, taxes,
scarcity, higher wages, etc., the con-
sumner must, in the end, pay.
AS the war tightens up on the
U. S., We'll all feel the pinch. No
need to wonder! Prices will 60 up
and up.

DRUNK WITH LAND
(Peter j. Vasaly. Little Falls)


Tolstoi once wrote memorable
story about a Russian peasant who
was hungry for land. A great land
owner offered him all the land he
could walk around in one day. The
peasant rose up long before daylight
and started at sunrise. He had PLAN
ned to encircle large tract.
At first he ran. After a while he
slowed to a fast walk. He walked
all morning and was getting along
finely. In the afternoon he had done
so well that he enlarged his route
to take in more acres. He walked
and ran alternately as evening APP
preached until he was staggering
and stumbling in fervor of weari-
ness, but still unsatisfied.
Then as the sun sank lower in the
west he was assaulted by fear. Could
he finish the circuit before the end
of the day? He had swung out so
far that there was still long way to
go. He plunged and fell and rose and
fell again. At last he could see his
goal. The sun was sinking, and he
nerved himself for the final effort
And then, just as he mounted the last
rise of ground and was only furlong
from his starting place, he fell dead.
Land-fever, the mania of owning
and expanding territory, is vice of
nations as of individuals. Soviet Rus
STA, the vast, sprawling peasant ma
ton, seems like that Stain didn't
need that Finnish land any more than
the peasant needed his last quarter
section.

A DINNsHNG LIGHT
little Falls Transcript

Eighty years ago Abraham Lin
coin, the greatest democrat that this
country has produced, was fearful
that democracy might perish from
the earth" And indeed there have
been times when it had a close call,
even in this country.
Most of us, take self-government
and individual liberty for granted,
but a little glance at history cures
such smugness. Glorious Greece,
which created our type of democ-
racy more than 1000 years ago, en-
joyed its political and intellectual
freedom for less than a century.
Rome was never a land of freedom,
in our sense.
After the Dark Ages in Europe
democracy had new birth, and for
700 years it was slowly spreading
and working its spirit into the minds
of men. Then came the dusk of
what might be a new Dark Age. On
the whole European continent today
there are said to be only 100000
people possessing the right to gov
ern themselves and shape their own
lives. The only considerable unit of
freedom Whereabouts is Britain, tot
tering on the edge of destruction.
Aside from that, there isn't much
real democracy left anywhere ex-
cept in the United States and Can
ada, and some of our Latin-Ameri-
can countries, and the outlying parts
of the British Empire, and China.
Don't forget China. 1t is today
the Light of Asia.

FEEDING THE WAR VICTIMS
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
see in some of the papers that
Hoover wants us to feed the people
in the countries the Germans have
robbed; but as long as the Germans
stay there to continue their robbery
it would be of no use.
To test his plan he will use Bel
GUM. They shall be fed through
soup kitchens where the people come
to get their food to keep the Ger
mans from getting hold of it.
Hoover wants the German gov
eminent to agree that there is to be
no requisition of native food. That
shows that Hoover has not followed
Hitler's actions, or he would know
that an agreement by Hitler is OF
no value. If Hitler had been de-
cent man, he would not have robbed
the small peaceable neutral nations.
He would not even have started war
or robbery, as no nation was doing
any harm to Germany.
If we feed people in the robbed
countries it is only to help Hitler in
his robberies, as there would be that
much more of the native food for
the Germans to take. We should
not assist robber. If we can, it is
our moral duty to defend victim of
a robber. We better think of that.
If the robber makes success of
what he is at, and gains partners
for his gang, we can expect them to
come here.
Hitler has some friends in this
country. One even said that Ger
many was entitled to the Danish
trade on account of being near neigh
bors. In common life people have
the right to do their trading where
they find that they can do it best,
and no nation can by right be blamed
for going by the same rule.
Denmark has been selling about
three-fourths of her exports to Eng
land because there she could get
good cash money or such goods as
she needed. Germany had no money
but unredeemable currency, which
is worthless except in dealing with
Germany; and Denmark must buy
many things which Germany does
not produce, so Denmark had good
reason for dealing with others.
Think it over you good friends
of Hitler and Germany. I think you
are glad not to be under the Hitler
regime.

The above editorial from the
Duluth Herald is one version of
the affair.
It is also possible that the mo-
tives of the eight Minnesota
congressman who voted against
the lease-lend bill are entirely
honest.
1t is also possible that Ameri-
ca could give aid to England
without passing the dictatorial
lease-lend bill.
What were the motives of
Congressman Pittenger in voting
for the bill? We do not pretend
to know. But it is altogether
possible that he might be curry
ing favor with the national adj
ministration, in order to get more
favorable action on the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence Waterway,
and it is also possible that much
iron from the Minnesota iron
range, in the Eighth congression-
al district, may be used for de-
tense purposes.

WHY NOT MORE PERJURY CASES?
Fergus Falls Daily JournaD

Rev. Henry j. Soltau has been
prosecuted for perjury and convicted
in Minneapolis court. Perjury as
we understand it, is making false
statements under OATH Officials of
Minneapolis and Shakopee, when they
took office swore that they would en-
force the laws of the state. Gambling
and liquor selling have been rum
ming wild in those cities according
to all reports. Has anyone besides
Rev. Mr.. Soltau committed perjury?
If so, why is no one else being pun
iShed?
