and has good dog will help pay for
damage done by killer dogs.
Now if it is true that petitions
that were signed by voters call for a
81 tax on the life span of a dog, I
can't see how we can be compelled to
pay tax of So per dog per year. It
really looks as if someone got their
main wires crossed.
understand that it was the sheep
raisers association that hired an at
torney to push this So tax law over in
Pine county. The tax law as I see
it is 100 per cent for the sheep and
turkey raisers.
If we had state dog tag system
so that dogs could be identified and
punished when guilty as in Mrs. Of
tens case think that we would get
some dogs that belonged to some
sheep or turkey raiser
A law that only protects small
percentage of people in given locali-
ty and where you have to tax the
majority to protect this minority is
not fair law and this is what the dog
tax law does and that is why 1 am
100 per cent against it.

Your Federal
Income Tax
NUMBER 4.

NUMBER 4.
To make it easier for taxpayers to
meet the increased taxes required
by the national defense program, the
Treasury department is offering for
sale two series of notes, both dated
August l, l941, and maturing August
l, 1943.
In January of each year two new
series will be provided so that tax
payer can always purchase notes dur
ing the entire year in which he is
receiving his income for use in pay
ment of taxes due the following year.
The reason for the two-year note is
to permit taxpayer, if he so desires,
TO begin saving in January of one
year and continue through that year
to save for his taxes due the follow
ing year.
All notes are sold at par and ac-
crued interest. When presented in
payment of income taxes they will
be received at par and accrued in
terest up to and including the month
in which such taxes are paid. Inter-
est will not accrue beyond the ma
turity of the notes. If not presented
in payment of income taxes, they
will be redeemed for cash under
certain specified conditions at the
purchase price paid for the notes. In
other words, the taxpayer, if he re-
deems the notes for cash, gets back
just the amount he paid.
Complete information about these
Treasury notes, will be found in a
Treasury department circular avail
able at local banks, Federal Reserve
Banks and branches, or Treasury De-
partment, Washington, D. c.

NOT A FAIR TAX
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkOV American.
I would like to have you print the
following on the So year dog tax
in the Opinions of Others" column.
Why are farmers against the So a
year dog tax? In the first place a
town board member that circulated a
petition for the tax stated that the
petition called for 81 tax and was
good for the life span of the dog in
stead of So per year This party is
circulating a petition to have names
removed from the first petition.
One farmer stated that he has 4
lamb that is sickly. He says that an
animal like that could be used as dog
bait and money collected on it. He
also wanted to know what would be
done about dogs from adjoining coun-
ties and also animals killed by bear.
This farmer is against the So tax al
though he is a sheep raiser.
On November 18, 1941, Mrs. Often
heard dogs barking and on investigat-
ing the noise discovered two dogs
had pulled down lamb. She grabbed
a pump gun and headed for the dogs.
After getting within shooting range
she recognized both dogs. She took
a shot at the first dog and killed it
but the second dog got away on ac-
count of the gun jamming.
Now the dog that got away is
known to be hard on sheep and is
owned by a farmer who raises tur-
keys. Now if this party does not
get rid of that dog it may kill some
of his turkeys and under the So dog
tax he would be able to collect dam
ages on them, and the farmer who
is neither sheep nor turkey raiser

Last Thursday the southern sub

Pine City in the Legion room. About

triton. She states that to keep the
body in good condition and able to do
its work properly, one should con-
sumo quart of milk a day, eat two
servings of fruit Zone citrus and one
raw) two servings of vegetables be-
sides potatoes, one yellow or green,

fourths of the children had colds
and were unable to concentrate on
their subjects as we'll as to stay

sistance to disease germs.

A SURPRISE TO ALL
Editor ASkoy American:

Editor Askov American:
Looking back on the year 1899
ask, would anyone purchase for Csc
the brains that were at the head of
our state at that time?
Why, then, be surprised at any
25 per cent laws that were enacted.
But recalling the campaign speeches
of our present county commissioners
on how well qualified they were to
conduct public office it is sur
prise to find this 25 cent business
continued. 1t appears not only IS
per cent of the people were sur
prised but the rs per cent who
signed the petition for a one-dollar
dog tax as well. Reminding you
again of their campaign literature
proves they can write, therefore why
didn't they enlighten the taxpayers
through our county newspapers be-
fore acting on this petition? Or
would that be asking too much?
I will venture a guess that before
shooting any double-taxed dogs or
arresting anyone that a lot of plain
old-fashioned ordinary common sense
should be used. OF course ignorance
excuses no one except public serv-
ants. So we taxpayers will not ask
for an excuse when we forget to
vote for you at our next election.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page ~

occupied by the japanese, the Chi
nese forces appear to have made deep
inroadS.
Perhaps their disappointments
in regard to China are a warning
to the Japanese that their initial
successes are not of permanent
nature.
There is, however, still the prob
lem of Australia. 1t seems, from dis
patches, that the japanese, attacking
the big islands of New Britain and
New Guinea, not SO very far from
the coast of Australia, have designs
on that continent And the Australi-
an government in addition to having
modified its home defense, has cabled
to President Roosevelt and to British
Prime Minister Winston Churchill ur-
gent appeals for help.
Russian Situation.
Among the axis partners it is
Japan that has all the successes for
the time being. Germany is increas-
ing her record of defeats in Russia
where the Soviet forces have scored
new triumphs at Mozhaisk and
Kholm, thus causing the nazi Lenin-
grad and Moscow offensive's COL
lapse.
In Moscow it has been hinted
that the Russians will not be
satisfied until they have carried
the war into Germany's own ter
ritOry, and they are now in fair
way of doing SO.
If, through Estonia, Latvia and
Lithuania they march into East Prus-
sia, Germany itself will have been
invaded, and if that eff becomes
fact, the end of the war will be in
sight
War in Libya.
In Libya it doesn't look quite as
good for the British as it did a few
days ago, for the Germans and the
Italians have started what seems to
be pretty powerful counter-offen-
sive, and the British have had, again,
to retreat
Some time this week-likely, be-
fore these lines are read-Mr.
Churchill will offer the British parlia-
ment his own explanation of the en-
tire war situation. He will ask for
a vote of confidence. He will get it.

Brotherhood Week.
A. E. GUSTAFSON. County Supt.

President Roosevelt has described
the importance of the observance of
Brotherhood Week, February Is to o.
Now is the time for all people of
good will to build better understand
ing and help to defeat intolerance.
This should continue daily through
out years to come.
Material for the observance of the
special week and also other helpful
materials have been sent to all of our
teachers
Commodities.
Mrs. Gum reports that Sc of our
Pine county schools are now getting
surplus commodities. The January
commodities have not yet arrived.
At last we have been able to secure
two part time NYA girls to help with
our many reports and other growing
clerical work in our office. Miss
Bonnie Lou Swanson and Miss Jeanne
Glaede were the two chosen by the
NYA supervisor for our office.
Our Boys.
NOt only our own son, now just Fl,
who is enlisting in the air force, but
also hundreds of other Pine county
"boys" are being absorbed rapidly
in the important military branches of
defense. Those of us who have been
in school work 20 or 25 years have
direct interest in thousands.
During the past seven years we
have had in Pine county over 1900
rural graduates. Nearly half of them
were boys.
Many of these boys are already in
the military service of Uncle Sam.
We hope some successful plan will
be worked out, when this Armageddon
is over, that will forever end and pre-
vent all wars in the future.
The Flag.
The American Legion state head
quarters furnished us with copies
of the American flag information and
data. These were distributed to all
our teachers last fall, to replace old
copies worn out
Our state law requires that our
American flag must be displayed at
school every day that school is in
session. This may be done either in
side each room or outside the build
ing or both inside and outside. The
size OF the flag to be used is not
designated. Most of our school rooms
have a small flag in bracket on a
door casing in the front of the school,
room. Most of our schools are also
equipped with large flag and a flag
pole for outdoor display. Our flag
stands for all of the seven points
contained in the Preamble of our
Constitution of the United States.

Saving to Help Win.


Uncle Sam needs your junk, especi-
ally metals and paper. Steel-mak-
ing mixes scrap with new iron, and
the mills are scraping for scrap.
Patriotic job now on every farm is
to pile up every ounce of old metal
not needed for repair work and call
junk dealer. Toss in everything
except pieces you know you will
need-and then consider whether
they, too, may not be more useful
as war material.
Magazines, newspapers, paper boxes
and bags can be sold, and are serious
ly needed.
Save and mend every cloth bag.
No more jute from India for burlap.
Cotton bags can't be made fast
enough. How about a bag-mending
party?
Save rubber, of course; turn in
any that's reclaimable.
Save money to buy defense bonds
and stamps and pay taxes.
Waste nothing.
