COMPLETE SELECTIVE SERVICE
(St. Paul Pioneer PreSS)

Need for a comprehensive and in
tegrated system of bringing men into
military and naval service has be-
come more necessary as evidences of
competition and misunderstanding be-
tween various branches of service
increase.
Under the present system many
young men wait until they are about
to be called in the draft, then go to
a Navy, Marine or Coast Guard re-
cruiting office and make the best deal
possible for enlistment in some spe-
cial service or with some special
rating. This increases and compli-
Gates the work of local draft boards,
made up of men who donate their
time and effort.
Enlistment, once taken as an out
standing mark of patriotism, cannot
be so regarded under present condi-
tons for too frequently it merely
represents the best bargain that can
be made to beat the draft.
The problem could be solved by
stopping all recruiting. Men for all
branches of service should be taken
through the selective service system.
This not only would be more fair to
all draftees but would simplify the
work of draft boards and make avail
able for active duty hundreds and
perhaps thousands of Navy, Marine
and Coast Guard recruiting officers.
Whatever objections these branches
of service might have to this system
could be overcome by merely apply
ing the same physical and mental
standards to persons assigned to
these services by the selective service
system.
This quarrel and confusion over
methods of recruiting only empha-
sizes in the minds of the people re-
ported lack of cooperation between
the nations armed services.

be sold to persons under 81 years OF
age. Eliminate all female employees
from all bar rooms. Give the saloon
an absolute divorce from the ball
room as the only thing that these
two have in common is that the two
while together, can and do breed
crime.
Anyone who is the least doubtful
or skeptical about this statement, has
only to scan the records of Rev
Soltau who is now serving a SEN
tence at Saltwater for no other rea-
son than that he stood 100 per cent
for good government through law
enforcement.
My plan to raise money for the
rehabilitation for our needy soldiers
and families at the end of the wal
is to place flat yearly purchasing
tax OF SIS for each adult who wishes
to purchase any kind of liquor fol
his or her own consumption; nc
license or permit to be issued to any
minor, that is to anyone under 81
years of age. Each applicant to fur
nish at time of application, certifi-
cate of birth together with place and
date of and names and place of par
ents or next of kin or guardian
residence, and each applicant to fur
nish to the government two photos Of
self recently taken, one to be repro
duced and to be attached to certi-
ficate of applicant to purchase liquo-
together with full description of his
or her physical makeup such as
height, weight, color of hair, eyes
color or race and citizenship and ma
tionality with full set of both hand
finger prints. Make it gross mis-
demeanor punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment or both for the purchase
other than for the holders own con-
sumption.
All money collected in this manner
would create a large fund for those
of our boys both at the front and
those in the service here at home who
become handicapped through injury
while in service. He a

FOR SOLDIERS TO VOTE
(The Faribault JOurnaD

Our Minnesota sailors and soldiers
will be thankful to Hjalmar Petersen
if they get the right to vote at the
coming primary and general elec-
tionS.
With the law as it is, they cannot
vote, scattered as they are and will
be from Iceland to Australia.
Mr.. Petersen has demanded spe-
cial session so that the law may be
changed and he's going to be joined
by many citizens who very definitely
feel that our boys should not be de-
prived of their votes just because
they are serving our country.
Askov American., 1942-04-02

In world where the tide of totali-
tarianism is running strong, we must
see to it that the democratic cleo
ton process is kept alive. In our
battle for freedom throughout the
world we must not lose our democ-
racy here in America. The essence
of American democracy is the full,
free, right to vote. That right must
not be destroyed or restricted.
And when this tragedy has come
to an end, we must use our intelli-
gence and tolerance, and such wis
dom as God has given us, to build q
world in which such an awful thing
as war, shall not come again.

Representatives and Senators are
going into active service. Governor
Stassen, now a Lieutenant Com
mander, plans to go into active service
in April of 1943. We trust that by
that time, the war may be over and
that he need not 60. Our service men
are fighting and dying all over the
world this very hour in an effort
to end this gruesome slaughter at
an early date.

THE POINT" OF AGREEMENT
Editor ASknV American.

Editor Askov American:
Daily we are regaled with plans,
specifications and blue-prints of how
to achieve better system of civiliza-
ton. Get ten men together Il mean
physically together - mentally 'to-
gether" is not hopeless, but is diff
cult) and each one has different
"plan," yet all seek the same end.
The best laid plans of the wisest
men usually 60 awry simply because
we try to force agreement on how
to get what we all want. All agree
on that what" and disagree only
on the show" to get it. Hence we
drift like ship on the Sargasso sea
until some strident-voiced dynamic
person shouts a command and gives
orders to do "this" or "that"-or else!

vote in person or by absentee
ballot in any general, special, or
primary election occurring in the
state of which he is resident,
whether he is within or outside
of such state at the time of such
election, if under the laws of such
state he is entitled so to vote in
such election"
Here we have a direct invitation
from the President and the Congress
of the United States to every state
in the Union to see to it that the
laws of the state permit all the mer
in our fighting forces to vote. Some
states have already responded to this
invitation. Minnesota has not.
Under present Minnesota law mer
in the armed forces abroad can not
vote. And those within continental
United States must pay for the privi-
lege. This is the existing law Of
Minnesota. Only the Legislature car
change it. And if the law is to be
changed in time to give our boys the
right to vote, without cost, in the
Forthcoming primary and general
elections, special session of the
Legislature must be called. Only the
Governor can call a special session
l have asked the Governor to do so
Tonight I again urge him to act
The responsibility is on Mr.. Stassen
and on him alone. The Governor al
home, at election time, will have a
free ballot. It seems to me only
right and fair that the men and
women in active service be given the
same privilege.

The Federal government is not only
willing, but anxious, that all service
men be given the opportunity to vote
in all general, special and primary
elections. The Federal government
has gone on record to this effect.
In the Selective Service Act, signed
by the President on September 16,
1910, there is contained Paragraph
(h) of Section 8, which reads as fol-
lows:
"Any person inducted into the

Administrators demand that the rise
in farm prices be halted; we hear a
growing demand for a ceiling over
wages; we listen to the continuous
complaint that we are apathetic and
Indifferent.
1t may be well for those in charge
of national affairs that we are as
phlegmatic and good-natured as we
are. If there were a full awakening
to the peril by which our country is
beset, there might likewise be an
awakening to the things that are
wrong within.
1t is certainly desirable that people
be aroused to one. It may be equally
desirable that they be aroused to
the other. It might force intelligent
effort, by those elected to high office,
to get reasonable value for the bill
lions they pour out.

then feel that the hard-earned dollars

GOVERNMENT NOW OWNS ALL OF PARK

Clear title in the United Stat es government to all the ground within the boundaries of Mount Mckinley National Park was a legal fact recently with the re- ceipt of a United States check in Fairbanks for $500 to cover the balance on the $1600 fixed by a jury as the value of l60 acre patented homestead, formerly owned by Mrs. Paula Liebau An derson on the shores of Wonder Lake.
 The jury trial in the condem- nation proceedings was ended last February l9 before United States District Judge Harry F.. Pratt. At that time the govern ment already had $500 on deposit in the registry of the court and when the jury fixed the value at $1,600 this left a balance due. According to United States Dis trict Attorney Ralph J. Rivers of the Fourth Division the balance has now been paid to Attorney E. B. Collins, who represents Mrs. Anderson. Mrs. Anderson is now resident of Little River, Calf. The Mckinley Park high way traverses the former Ander son homestead.
 The patent to Mrs. Anderson homestead was issued more than 12 years ago and was the only one granted in the Mckinley park area and there are no other patented homesteadS within 65 miles of that place. Mrs. Ander- son originally asked $12,500 as her price for the homestead. Fed eral appraisers set the amount at $500.
