STOP STATIONS
MAY Be CHANGED
Local and Suburban Bus
Routes Affected By New
Space Ruling

Orders by the state public utili-
ties commission that bus stops be
at least 500 feet apart will make
necessary numerous changeys in
stop" stations by the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting Co., and in
dependent bus companies here.
The PUG ordered the step in order
to save tires, gasoline and wear and
tear resulting from too-frequent
stops.
Many local bus stops are now
within 10 Dor 200 feet of each other.
The new orders mean that they will
have to be spaced farther apart and
that bus patrons will have to walk
few hundred feet to board the
public service vehicles.
Orders to space bus stops at least
500 feet apart were issued by the
PUG at the request of Joseph B.
Eastman, director of the U. S. Office
Of Defense Transportation. 1t APP

Czechoslovakia, Germany, Denmark
and other countries, will cooperate
closely with the International Coop
erative Alliance in London and the
Cooperative League of the U. S. A.
In pre-war years the success of
cooperatives in solving farming and
distribution problems and their leav-
ening effect in the strife for industrial
democracy was an oft-told tale. But
the war largely wrecked the coopera-
tives of the occupied countries. Where
bombs did not demolish their equip
ment, totalitarian control destroyed
their essential features; ownership by
the people, democratic control, and
non-profit operation.
Representatives of these coopera-
tives, in and out of exile, have not
surrendered their determination.
They stand ready to help win the
war by speeding inter-Allied produc-
ton. They propose, when peace
comes, to send "cooperators" to aid
in Europe's rehabilitation. They de-
serve the backing of Washington and
the allied governments, as represent
ing thousands of 'men of good will"
who will know how to pick up the
skeins of democratic livelihood when
peace returns to the war areas.

EXPRESSES APPRECIATION
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
At the regular meeting of Mime
apolis Townsend Club 12O, a motion
was unanimously adopted expressing
the clubs sincere appreciation to the
Askov American for the recent pub
lication of the splendid article on
the merits of the Townsend National
Recovery Plan.
One of the most constructive, bene-
fetal and educational services any
newspaper can render to its readers
and its community is to provide a
reasonable amount of space for a
fair and honest pro and con discus
sion on matters of local, state and ma
tional interest. Such a paper is true
ly champion of the Freedom of
The Press" 1t encourages people to
do their own thinking and thinking
people are the bulwark of our Amer
lean democracy.
The good people of Askov are to
be congratulated upon having such
newspaper.

A SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION

Editor Askov American: /;
To all sincere thinking people it
rs more than strange to witness the
ever increasing parade of economic
specialists and politicians that are
now interested in making postwar
plans for world wide economic pros
perity and security. Where have
these eminent gentlemen been for
the past decade or more? With all
of Americas vast material resources
and productive ability, and when our
national debt was much less than
so billion dollars, they failed COM
pletely in more than IL years time,
to provide sound and practical plan
to solve our own economic ills.
Now with a national debt which is
expected to reach 200 billion dollars,
plus the great material loss suffered
during this war, these learned gentle
men expect us to entrust them with
planning the economic salvation of the
world. Under these circumstances,
what legitimate reason is there for
placing our future economic we'll
being and national security in their
hands?
However, America will provide the
scientific solution for her own eco
nomic postwar problems and there
by establish a constructive and prac-
tical Christian example for all other
nations to emulate That solution
will be Americas eventual adoption
of the Townsend National Recovery
plan.

of these being at Hollandale, which
now supplies the Owatonna canning
factory with large part of the
asparagus canned by them. Professor
Currents of the University stated
that fully 80 per cent of the asparagus
consumed in the United States was
grown in California, but that Mime
sofa had some soils and certain areas
just as suitable for growing the vege-
table, except that the crop would
mature much later. Certain COM
binations and mixtures of soil are
necessary for best results, but it is
believed by the University authorities
that these will be found available in
Pine county. Sandy soil has proved
the best, but a proper combination
must be made with certain types of
peat soils and commercial fertilizers.

Sentiment for Soldiers
Voting Grows

AS time goes on, more and more
newspapers are declaring that it
might be well to provide for the
soldiers vote in coming elections.
The fact that committee from the
National Association of Secretaries of
State is now working on such plan,
and the fact that bill was intro
duced recently in Congress to enable
the soldier to vote creates more
thought and interest along that line.
Thus far, no one has said that the
80 cent charge to absentee voters,
which includes all Minnesota men
and women in military service, should
not be eliminated.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press seems
to think it is too late to change the
election law to provide a free vote
to all Minnesota soldiers. However,
a special session of the Legislature
could be called promptly by the gov
ernor and such session could be of
short duration, if all preparation for
it were made in advance. In 1916,
one day special session, to give
the vote to Minnesota National
Guardsmen on the Mexican border,
lasted but one day and cost the state
only $4,000.
Members of the Minnesota Legis-
lature have expressed approval for
short special session-some of them
even stating that they would come
to st. Paul for that purpose without
expense to the state.
When the proposal was made to
the governor on March ID, there was
some discounting and criticism but
also much approval. 1t is interesting
to note that some of the states news
papers who Immediately criticized
the proposal are now observing the
trend and gradually coming around
to the idea that a free vote to the
soldiers, who are fighting for democ-
racy and self-government, is not to
be discounted.
Even the Pioneer Press, at first
reluctant, has taken notice and in its
issue of April 81 carried an editorial
entitled "Absent Voting Laws" which
follows:

EXPLANATIONS
Editor Askov American:


On the 7th of April 1 was called
ION the carpet" before the county
commissioners to explain the state
ments I wrote in the Askov American
on the 10Th of February about the red
ink in the tax book, and the dog tax.
The reason the red ink was used in
the tax book was explained to me-
When the assessors turn in their state
ments from the different townships
some of their figures are low, others
higher. Then the commissioners try
to equal it up; like one of the COM
missioners explained to me, if COW
was set at $50 in one township and
another cow at $25 in a different
township, then the two cows are set
at equal value. This brings the red
ink in the tax book above the black
line; and the reason taxes went up
was because if the county did not
get set amount of money in, they
would not be able to get state or
Federal aid, if understood it right.
I have nothing against the taxes
they make if we, the taxpayers, get

NO SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
Editor Askov American:


Good for Hjalmar Petersen for in
sisting that our soldier sons have their
right to cast ballot.
How does the Selective Service Act
allow Stassen to make a football of
our draft law? My boy was drafted
put in Australia on the front line in
four months at $21 month. Now he
gets $50 of which $40 goes each
month for insurance.
Stassen becomes lieutenant COM
mander on a few days training per-
iod and apparently is allowed to en-
list where and when he pleases. Is
this democracy? Why not active
service now like the hundreds of farm
boys leaving from every Minnesota
village these days?
If Stassen wants exemption until
1943 because he is governor or be-
cause he has children, let him ask
it like man. To me the present pro-
cedure has all the earmarks of the
cheapest political trickery. It is an
insult to Minnesota farmer fathers
and mothers who are bidding their
boys goodbye these days. Many farms
have no help left. Their three or
four boys have been drafted for i'm
mediate induction.
America is a democracy. Let us
practice our democratic beliefs. Let
us of the common run" insist that
all be treated alike.
In World War I we had some lieu
tenant commanders, if am informed
correctly, who knew little or nothing
of their jobs because of brief train
ing. Special privilege must be out
the window if we are to be all out in
this conflict.
A few further suggestions are:
Bonds without interest and COM
pulsory buying of same.
Call in all tax exempt bonds and
issue taxable bonds in their place
Thus several billion could be saved
for war purposes.
Tax war profits to within per cent
No incomes over $25, 900.
Free insurance of $4,000 to men
in armed service.
Fifty dollars per month as base pay
for armed service.
Parity prices for farmers on all
products. Wheat farmers are now
