LEAVE PARASITES OUT

Editor Askov American:
The Star Journal has presented to
its readers q series of editorials deal
ing on the subjects of taxes and in
flatien.
They say there now is astray a
wild horse without bride or halter
of 25 billions of dollars broken loose
by the changing of our economical
production into war production.
If we do not catch that horse, even
tually it will cause so much damage
that we cannot win the war.
Now instead of catching that horse
dead or alive, the Journal advises us
to catch it alive and use it for a
defense horse by having it run be-
tween us and our enemies in mo
mans land"
agree with the Journal that Is
billions of dollars can do lot of
damage if in the hands of few, but
also lot of good if, in the hands of

citation, was also in attendance at
the meeting which formulated ten
tative program that will give to every
man in the armed forces the oppor-
tunity to vote at coming state cleo
tions through the medium Of the
United States mail.
The committee believes that sin
the various States it will be pos
sible to inform the families of all
men in the armed forces through
newspaper and radio publicity of the
steps necessary to cast absentee bal
lots. The governors and the adjutants
general of all States will cooperate
in this effort"
At the conference in attendance
also were Terence M. O'Brien and
Maurice A. Fitzgerald of the Special

HAS LOST CHEERING SECTION
(Park Region Echo)

For five years past the rural press
of M in n csc TIA has unanimously
shouted 'Hooray" every time Cover
nor Stassen said or did anything of
Importance. But the peculiar way
in which the governor joined the
navy brought no such unanimous
response from the rural press. More
than half of the 100 or more country
papers that come to our desk didn't
know what to say, so they said moth
ing. Perhaps dozen pointed with
pride to the governors patriotism.
The rest saw it as more of political
than patriotic stunt. There were
some among them, good Republicans,
too, that could not resist pointing to
the fact that Minnesota farmer boys
would like to stay home and help get
in this years crop, but they have to
60 into the army right now. They
can't wait until 1943.
Probably there is not enough dis
satisfaction over it to smear the gov
ernor's well-laid political plans, but
it is clear that the move is generally
rated as being more political than
patriotic.

LA TOILETTE JOINS THE ARMY

(The Appleton, Wis, Post-Crescent)
When a man of A joins the army
and asks for service with troops his
patriotism is the real Mccoy.
No critic of the Presidents war
ward tendencies had been more sharp
or constant than Captain La Toilette.
He not only foresaw whittier we were
drifting but he directly placed the
blame for our course upon the de-
liberate action of Mr.. Roosevelt.
But of course La Toilette also un-
derstood that war is the great, per-
haps the single, exception to all rules
and that when ones country becomes
involved in a vile and bloody strug-
gle it must be fought through, come
what may. -
One might think that La Follette's
manly example would put to shame
leading war shouters like Sen. Pepper,
five years younger than Wisconsin's
former governor, but those who mill
and grind and pull and strain for
war seldom dare to face its wretched
tasks.
Perhaps, too, MIR. La Toilette real
lied that if this war were to be fought
only by those who shouted for it, il
would be lost.

WHY NOT NOW, GOVERNOR?
(St. Cloud Daily Times)

Wv. >ASoA A>AAAy AiAAiCoI
The most frequent statement that
one hears about Governor Harold E.
Stassen's announcement that he
would resign as governor in 1943 in
order to enter the naval reserve is:
"Why not now, Governor" Why
not do the same as Stafford King, the
state auditor who has been commits
stoned captain in the United States
army air force and will report in
Washington in few days for active
duty. King will file for reelection
as permitted under a law passed a
year ago, which grants leave of alb
sence for service in the armed forces.
Governor Stassen could do the same
thing. Why put c. Elmer Anderson,
the lieutenant governor, on the spot?
Why not give him chance to prove
that he could take care of the gov
ernor's duties? Besides, there is still
at least a remote chance that the
war might be over by the time the
Legislature adjourns in 1943. And
really, is it fair to that majority of
voters who twice elected Harold E.
Stassen governor, to be put in posi-
ton where they willsf6t know who
they are voting for for governor
when the next Legislature adjourns?

TEAMWORK AND FAITH
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkov American:
A reading in the Minneapolis Tri-
bune misquoted me in stating, Labor
is doing more than its share for
victory"
Labor could never claim this honor
were it to work seven days a week
and as many hours as eyes and nerves
would allow to produce precision in
StrumentS of war.
This war will be won by teamwork
and not by the grandstand play OF
any individual or class. Labor is
only one of the unsung linemen that
must as a team open the holes for
our sailor and soldier halfbacks to
carry the ball across the enemies
goal.
Any man who places his individual
interest above those of his team or
fails to carry out his assignment by
striking while his country is in peril
has no right to his place of honor
in the ranks of labor. There are
few of this type and we don't need
them on our team.
Yes, there are slackers in the ranks
of labor as there are radio COM
mentators whose bread and butter
depends on saying the right thing at
the right time and there are the
politicians who must keep their names

National Efforts On
Soldiers Vote

The Committee on Election Pro-
cedure of the National Association of
Secretaries of State, meeting in Wash
ington on April 18th with represen-
tatives of the Justice and War de-
partments, made recommendations
to facilitate voting by soldiers and
sailors by absentee ballot in their
State and Congressional elections.
The committee emphasized that "at
this time when suffrage rights are
being taken away from millions under
Axis domination, this nation must
make sure that the vital democratic
right of suffrage and the freedom to
vote may still be exercised by every
American citizen"
Members of the committee include
Secretaries of State Frederic w. Cook
of Massachusetts,, Edward j. Hughes
of Illinois, and Mike Holm of Min
nesota. (Mr. Holm by the way is

FINANCING THE WAR
Park Region Echo)

If the United Auto Workers union
proposal Tuesday to drop all double
time pay for Sundays and holidays
and to have overtime paid in war
bonds, instead of cash, is adopted
along with the twin proposal that
munition plants be allowed only
per cent profit on money invested
and limit of $4,000 income per
family be set, there will be no need
of sales tax and other drastic taxes
to prevent initiation. It is only or
ganized labor and defense plant Of
ficials and owners who have too much
money to spend. If workers get only
straight time" pay and huge profits
are forbidden there will be no infla-
ton.
The proposed per cent limit of
profit on large war contracts seems
like a small profit, but Bethlehem
Steel Company would make $30,00O,-
600 on its war contracts at that rate
and that's not hay.

HATS OFF TO PHIL

(The Wausau, Wis, Record -Herald)
The Record Herald has hurled not
a few verbal brickbats at Phil La Fol-
lette in its editorial columns, but
this time, for a change, we are hand
ing him bouquet.
Before Americas entry into the
war the former governor was one
of the most out-spoken isolationists
in the nation. For three years he
fought the Roosevelt Administrations
foreign policy tooth and nail. But
when the United States was plunged
into war by Japan's stab in the back,
he offered his services to his country
and was recently commissioned cap
tain in the United States Army. AS
Phil put it recently:
"When war came felt that there
was but one thing for all of us to do
all of us whether we were called
interventionists or isolationists-
that was to roll up our sleeves and
wade into the job of winning the war
and the eventual peace"
Phil La Follette's decision to for
get the past and offer his services
to his country was, we believe, a
splendid and patriotic act-and typ
ically American.

WILL MYSTIFY VOTERS
(The Long Prairie Leader)

The announcement by Governor
Stassen that he is going to enter the
military service year hence, was
the big political news event of last
week. He announced that he will
ask for reelection this fall, but that
he will resign shortly afterward if
elected and enter the navy. This
throws the election into good deal
of turmoil because it means that
in voting for the next lieutenant
governor, the voters are really vot-
ing for the next governor. 1t is a
situation that will mystify the people
and greatly complicate the election
situation. Governor Stassen is to be
complimented on his desire to enter
the service, but we wonder if it would
not contribute more to the orderly pro-
cesses of government if the people are
permitted to vote directly for the next
governor instead of by some round
about process which they are not like
ly to understand?

POLITICS-AS-USUAL
(The Progressive, Madison, Wis.,

(The Progressive, Madison, Wis.,
Wendell L. Willlxie and his Mime
sofa mouthpiece, Gov. Harold Stas-
sen, are two star performers in the
game of politics
Willkie, self-styled leader of the
opposition who has been neither lead
er nor opposition, had this to say in
a recent magazine article:
eff see the conduct of the war
being bungled, the operation of our
economic system being wrecked, and
the prospect of decent world after
the war vanishing, I expect to have
my say in the 1914 election"
The 1914 campaign is two years in
the future. The war may be won
or lost before Mr.. Willkie decides
to tell the country what he knows
about our war effort. Speaking out
courageously now would help the
country; waiting for the campaign
Of 1914 would merely aid his own can
didacy for President and constitute
a second installment of what he has
himself called Campaign oratory."
The little Willkie in Minnesota
Gov. Stassen, has announced that he
will resign as governor and enter
active service in April, 1943-if the
war is still on. The catch is that
Stassen is up for reelection this
year and he won't be in position
to resign if the people force his re-
tirement on Election Day. Announc-
ing now that he intends to enter ac-
tive service a year from now may
be smart politics-a little too smart
perhaps-but we hardly expect the
people of Minnesota to be dazzled by
his brilliance. o,e s-,s

many. When a few possess it, it will
create speculation ending in monopo-
lies, but if it can be scattered in
pennies and dimes into the hands of
the many, the working people, then
it will create buying power and will
be good to everybody. 1t needs more
money to keep products circulating
than there was in recent years avail
able to farmers and labor.
Experience of recent years teaches
it was lack of buying power that
causes over production and unem-
ployment. The Townsendites will
prove this statement
However, am one of the few that
believe it possible to exist without
using money at all, by system of
using products to buy products; then
we deal only with producers. 1t
leaves the parasites out of the sys-
tenn.
It might cause bridge and high
story jumping of suicides among
parasites, people who stake every
thing on money to win, but we have
to consider that in this war there is
more to lose than just money. The
Russians are proving this statement.
There is something more important
to fight for than the money interests
1t is rather sad to notice that the
courageous element is denying labor
the right to earn little for rainy
day and the farmers to recover a
little of their losses suffered in re-
cent years and now can unload on
their debts. We can stand little
initiation on that. But the money in
terests have always begrudged labor
and farmers the right to live in COM
fort.

THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
(The Bovey Press)

Boys of Minnesota, who have en-
listed or been drafted in the defense
of our nation; the boys who will
face the guns of our enemies, Ger
many and Japan; the boys who will
shed their blood, many of them never
to return, many of them who do
return, MANNED and crippled for life,
a condition often worse than death,
will be deprived of their constitu-
tional rights as American citizens, to
vote in the general election, because
Governor Stassen, our brave COVER
nor, who has enlisted in the Naval
Reserve, with the reservation that he
won't 60 into actual service until next
year Che won't lose his vote) refuses
to call a special session of the State
Legislature to amend the state law
to restore to these boys in the service
of defense of you and I, the right to
vote in the coming primary and gen.
eral election.

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

This week Miss Nelson and Miss
Hoffman inspected the first, third,
fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh
grades at the Pine City school. A
large number of the upper grade chill
dren were found with very decayed
permanent teeth. Early dental care,
proper food and care of the teeth at
home such as brushing them twice
day would prevent dental care to
a large extent. Much malnutrition
is the direct result of defective teeth.
Wednesday of this week was spent
in inspecting the school children at
Cloverton. The East Central aux
iliary nursing committee met at the
community house at Cloverton with
20 women present. Obstetrical packs
were made after which business
meeting was held. Mrs. Snelson was
appointed to be in charge of the OBJ
stetrical packs. The program CEN
tered around the subjects of acci-
dents in the home and on the farm.
The next meeting will be held on
the second Wednesday in June at
Kingsdale.
The Central nursing auxiliary will
meet at the Jesse Forncrook home
east of Hinckley, Friday, April II.
The schedule of the Mantoux test
ing program is published in this
newspaper this week. We urge par
ents to cooperate with us in signing
the request slips, and hope to have
100 per cent response to the tests in
as many of the schools as possible.
The test will include all children in
the seventh through to the twelfth
grades, teachers in the town schools,
bus drivers and cooks. The Christ
mas Seal sale fund will pay for the
X-rays of the school children.

PINE COUNTY RURAL

Salvage.
A. E. GUSTAFSON. County Supt.

oNAs06Cs
Representing the Pine County Sal
wage committee, we outlined a plan
that would possibly provide more
efficient and thorough salvaging pro-
gram, and would be handled mainly
by WPA.
The plan we outlined has not only
been approved by the State Salvage
committee, but has also been ap-
proved by the district and state WPA
headquarters. The plan has now been
submitted to the Federal WPA Ma
tional headquarters, and if approved,
it may be used throughout the entire
state and nation.
In the meantime, do not waste nor
destroy any metals, rubber, rags or
paper. Uncle Sam needs all of these
materials.
Vacancies, Etc.
More than 40 rural vacancies have
been reported to date. Roads have
improved wonderfully the past week.
Our season is about two or three
weeks ahead of last spring. Victory
gardens will be larger and better
than ever. Due to tire restrictions
and urgent farm duties, our rural
sectional and county playdays (and
tournaments) will be discontinued
this year in Pine county, with possible
exceptions of sections one and two
(Sturgeon Lake and Kerrick).
Urgent War Needs.
For call out" war defense and peace
time security, Pine county should
have, among many other things, the
following:
Cd More small schools closed and
transported, to~save money and to
meet the self-evident teacher short
age.
(2) Government (municipaD air
ports established at the Pine City fair
grounds, also at Sandstone, Hinck-
ley, Willow River and other points.
(3) State school aids paid in full
out of the extra (surplus) state net
income tax collections.
(4) Change the delinquent tax laws
so as to prevent shifting of township
and other bond levies to the few re-
naming taxpayers.
(5) A government power dam on
the Kettle river or st. Croix river to
furnish cheap electric juice for por-
tions of two states, so as to extend
rural electrifcation and industries.
(6) Another ''New Brighton" muni-
tions project near this power dam
that would bring thousands of fam
lilies.
CD A food canning factory for Pine
county. This would provide more
cash crops for farmers and more
vacation work for youth.
