"THE law does not intend
that you should destroy a little
industry that is barely exist
ing and stop its employees
from making a living--for that
would be killing the goose thai
lays the golden egg" Thus,
Judge Trimble in u. s. Dis
trict Court, spoke his feelings.
lie was speaking to two rep
resentatives in an official cap
acity from the regional Wage
and Hour Administrators office
at Dallas, Texas, who brought
case up in his court to pro-
secute a saw mill owner from
Lawrence County with % en-
ployees.

will not be too rough on our Congress
men. They are doing, as l said at
the start of this article, the magnani-
nous thing. They have decided to
test it out, to see if it will be as bad
for them as they said it would for the
oldsters. They're going to try it out
on the dog.
So now, old Codger, all you have to
do is wait and see if it kills our Con-
gressmen. They are offering them
selves as vivisectional experiments.
From the experiments they will get
some Illuminating data and can draw
some enlightening conclusions, based
on demonstrated facts. That will
take only a number of years. How
many, God only knows.
Then when the war is over they'll
tell us We'll have to wait until the
hundred or so billion-dollar debt is
paid to the money-changers, which
will m can re-retrenchment. But
cheer up. Maybe by the time some
of our grandchildren's children are up
in the nineties they'll get enough to
keep from starving before old age
gets them.

FILTHY POLITICS
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
The people of Minnesota will never
forget their former Senator, Ernest
Lundeen.
The unexpected death of Senator
Lundeen at a time when America
needed men of his caliber was a
terrible tragedy as we'll as a great
loss to the people of Minnesota and
the nation.
Since the death of Ernest Lun-
deem, various persons have sought
to discredit the great Senator's record
as a loyal servant of the people.
To attack the record of man who
is unable to defend himself, is the
acme of filthy politics. The tragedy
of it is that those who discredit Mr.
Lundeen's excellent record are totally
unqualified to fill his position.
Senator Lundeen had the courage
to vote the way the people wanted
him to vote on all important issues
1t is too bad that his successor does
not possess that great qualification.
Since October II, 1910, the people
of Minnesota have not been repre-
sented in the United States Senate.
We have Senator Shipstead repre-
senting the people of Minnesota and
Senator Ball representing the Will
kie-Stassen clique. Therefore, the
two votes cancel each other and the
people of Minnesota have no voice in
national affairs.
The people of Minnesota will rene
dy this situation when the next elec-
ton Games along.

CONCEIT HARMFUL
editor ASkov American:

aSkOV
One of natures first steps in pre-
pairing men or nations for valor and
great things, is to first take the con-
ceit out of them. The natural human
tendency for those who have long
enjoyed sunshine, is to think that
they live at the center of things and
that all wisdom and merit sort of
radiate out from them. Very few
people risk failure, especially in these
days when anything resembling in
feriority complexes is abhored. But,
there are redeeming features about
failure, one failure after another
has way of impressing a person,
that perhaps he is not as wise as he
thought he vast sort of toughens
a person and enables one to see him
self as others see him.
The tendency at first during the
process of real education, is to jump
from one extreme to another, to be
unduly sensitive to success or fail
ure. To judge events in the long
prospectus is not the inclination of
"supermen" and "best minds" and
pretense. But, one failure after an
other is bound to impress people with
the fallacy that resemblance of
merit is as good as real merit itself.
1t was pleasant thought to think
that one Englishman or one American
could lick 10 Japs, Wops or ferries.
But, it is educational to find out that
this is not true. The quiet, unassum-
ing soldier, who will win this war,
will be born under the emblem of
adversely, after the real things long
latent in him are brought out. Ameri-
ca is still suffering from an overdose
of self-worship and conceit. These
are just things on the surface. The
real things which make strength will
re-assert themselves under the cruci-
al test of war. One of the best stimu-
lus to bring out the real things is a
challenge.

within the Christian church. I shall
try my best to help hold the Christi
an church together during this peri
cd.
Sixth, shall try to strengthen my
nation in whatever small way can,
as I have been doing. I shall try to
build up its character. Some of
that strengthened character will, be
used for purposes of war; for this I
am not responsible. My intention
is to build it up to get ready people
capable of making just and generous
and lasting peace.
Seventh, was never so convinced
as now that the way of Jesus is the
only realism. have nothing but
reprobation for Japan's attack upon
America. But have no doubt what
ever that it could have been pre-
vented. This war in the Pacific, as
we'll as the war in Europe, could
have been undercut before it arose
l do not 60 into my reasons for hold
ing that; l simply register it.
Eighth, shall register when called
but will register as one who has nc
faith in war; as one who will do all
he can for his country; but without
the war intention I trust I shall not
be less useful citizen because OF
this inward exception.
Ninth, I am an evangelist and q
missionary. AS an evangelist, I ap-
pealed to my n a t ION to make q
Christian decision in this hour OF
crisis. But 1 am still an evangelist
and missionary, and my business is
therefore to reconcile man to God
to reconcile man to man and man tc
himself

AN APPEAL TO PINE COUNTY
FARMERS
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
1 was recently told there were not
very many signed up as members of
the Farm Bureau this year. Do You
realize that if we don't have 200
members in the county we can not
have extension work done in the
county or in other words, not have a
county agent. All of you who have
REA should remember the county
agent played no small part in getting
the REA here, and would you for
the sake of one dollar be without
electricity? think not. What about
you who have joined the Dairy
Breeders Association? If it is worth
anything to you, is it not worth one
dollar? Also you parents who have
either boys or girls in club work
should be willing to join in, as without
extension work lot of this will be
flop. So I say, we farmers in Pine
county can not afford to be without
a county agent. know several will
give an excuse that no one has asked
them, but I think somebody will call
on you in a short time, so have your
dollar ready, or you can send it di-
rectly to the county agents office at
Sandstone.
Yours for better cooperation.

Knowing that she is so weak from
building nests that they relieved her
of by taxation without representa-
ton and from also using the down
from her breast and her children to
feather their own nests and those of
their pets who receive cancellations
and abatements of taxes, they de-
cided she is so weak it is dangerous

slipped when giving her shot Of

Therefore, with her sight and hear

be humane enough to also blot out
the hearing of vast lot of dog low

another has an item in his editorial
page every week referring to "Skunk
Hitler.
Perhaps our trouble has been that
we have taken this matter too calm
ly. We have had a faint suspicion
that all these invectives and epithets
do not disturb Mr.. Hitler's sleep or
upset his breakfast because he does
not even read these editorials.
The Daily Journal does not be-
lieve that battles are won by bonn
bastic, name-calling editorials and
we even doubt that wars are won by
orations. We have been trained in
the old school that editorials should
generate more light than heat. Per-
haps we are old-fashioned.
When Hitler and the Japs are
beaten to their knees it will be be-
cause the American people as well
as the people of other countries fight
ing with us have got down to the
hard work and the hard fighting of
winning this war We will have to
forget the forty-hour week, the lux
urious living of the past and concen-
trate our attention to the building
of tanks, planes, ships and guns.
When we win it will be because this
nation and its allies have out-worked,
out-produced, and out-fought the axis
forces on land, in the air and upon
the sea.
We wish this war could be won
by writing editorials and making
speeches. If it could it would have
been won years ago because there
has been no shortage in this country
of inflamed editorials and bombastitc
orations. Unfortunately this is un-
true and so we will leave the name
calling to other editors and try to
keep our editorial candle burning to
shed little light as we fight on.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page u

sponded to that frank avowal with
the most thunderingly emphatic vote
of confidence they had ever given him
-464 votes against /.
Hitler also spoke. 1t may be that
there was a time when he had
dreamed he might be able to deliver
the speech on the ninth anniversary
of his rise to German chancellorship
in London, but he didn't. He was
still in Berlin when he spoke, and
chances of getting to London are
bit remote.
There was nothing new in the Hitler
effusion, except that for the first time
he did not predict any date of a
German victory. He wasn't even
sure about such a victory, but, any
how, Roosevelt and Churchill were
madmen and war mongerS, and the
Japanese were nice guys because they
had learned from him the lesson of
attacking before the other fellow pulls
the trigger. That little matter of
the retreat from Russia was, said
Herr Hitler, one of those incidents
that have a way of happening; it
really doesn't mean thing, he was
sure, for when Spring comes, the
nazis will start counter-offense
which will erase Russian "Bolsche-
wismus" from the face of the earth.
Farther West.
AS a sober matter of fact, however,
the Russians continue to drive the
Germans still farther west, East Prus-
sia being the most immediate destina-
ton; while the retreat moves on
apace, there is the significant fact
about it that the Germans never have
a chance to halt, never chance to
march ahead. It is always back and
back and back-toward the setting
sun.
In Libya the nazis are, for the
time being again successful, for here
they have started counter-offenSiv
against the British and have even re-
captured the city of Benghazi.
"The Yanks Have Come"
Cheering to the democratic part of
the European nations was last weeks
news that American troops have ar
rived in Northern Ireland. With all
the irresistible exuberance of youth,
of potential strength untapped, they
have come as the first concrete indi-
cation that America is in the war-on
the European side of the Atlantic,
too. To continent, haunted by Hit
ler brutality, they look almost like
militant angels from Heaven.
Askov American., 1942-02-05

Concerning the terrible plight
of women and children in the
occupied and neutral countries of
Europe, Frederick J. Libby writes
in Peace Action as follows:
There is one subject on which the
both sides of the arbitrary line which
the war has drawn have just reason
to be uneasy. Passing over for the
moment all the hideous aspects of
the war method, we find no SEM
blance of pretext for justifying NOR
ally the starvation of the women and
children of the conquered and neu-
trail countries of Europe extending
from Finland around to Greece.
These democracies were Great
Britain's allies in the early part of
this war. Their sympathies are be-
lieved to be with the Allied cause.
But they are helpless in the grip
of Germany's military power.
The theory that starving them by
the blockade of the continent of
Europe, which Great Britain is main
tanning with our cooperation, will
prod these peoples in desperation into
active and successful revolt against
Germany is to expect the impossible.
Their efforts at sabotage and assassi-
nation have resulted only in the mer-
ciless shooting of hostages. Even the
governments in exile have felt obliged
to call off by radio such futile sacri-
flee of human life.
1t has been said that it is only
Herbert Hoover's Craftsmanship of the
National Committee on Food for the
Small Democracies that has prevented
this feeding from being undertaken.
We refuse to believe that any man or
any government is so devoid of human
feeling as to punish literally millions
of women and children to crafty
a personal feud. If military con-
siderations are the determining fac
tor, we hope that humanitarian con-
sideration will over-rule them.
From the practical side a strong
case can be made for the position
that refusal to feed these suffering
people will in reality only serve to
consolidate Hitler's control of Europe
But since Christian people in Ger
many as well as England and America
want these people fed, cannot the
churches cooperate in setting up a
committee to supervise this feeding?
This is field certainly in which the
Church of God should speak fear
lessly and with authority.

Your Federal
Income Tax
NUMBER S

Many farmers will be liable for fill
ing income tax returns and payment
of tax for the first time this year.
The term farmers" includes live
stock raisers, fruit and truck grow
ers and operators of plantations and
ranches.
Farmers may maintain their rec
ords and file their returns of income
on either the cash receipts and dis
bursements basis or on the accrual
basis of accounting. A consistent
method must, however, be employed.
If cash basis is used, Form 1040F,
Schedule of Farm Income and Ex-
penses," is required to be filled out
and filed in conjunction with Form
1O40.
Deductions from gross income may
be made by farmers as necessary
expenses, all m cunts expended
(other than those constituting capi-
tai expenditures in carrying on the
business of farming. Deductions for
expenses include such items as cost
of feeding and raising livestock (ex-
cept the value of farm produce grown
upon the farm and the labor of the
taxpayer); cost of seed, minor re-
pairs to farm buildings (other than
the dwelling of the farmer); small
tools used up in the course of a
year or two; fuel and oil used for
farm work; repairs and maintenance
of farm machinery; hired laborers and
hired machines, and cost of commerce.
al fertilizers the benefit of which is
Of short duration.
The cost of farm machinery, equip
ment and farm buildings; amounts
expended in the development of
farms, orchards and ranches, as well
as the amounts expended in the
restoration of soil fertility prepara-
tory to actual production of crops
and the cost of lining soil to increase
productiveness over period of years,
are capital expenditures.
Losses incurred in the operation
of farms as business enterprises are
deductible from gross income. If
livestock has been purchased for any
purpose, and afterwards dies from
disease, exposure or injury, or is
killed by order of the authorities OF
a State or the United States, the ac-
tual purchase price of such livestock
less any depreciation allowable as a
deduction in respect of such perished
livacfocl< NAV he dadIIctod aS q loss
if the loss is not compensated for by
insurance or otherwise.
If gross income is ascertained by
the use of inventories, no deduction
can be taken separately for livestock
or products lost during the year.
