SECOND GROWTH TIMBER
rs GOING
(Park Region Echo)


Minnesota's second growth timber
is being swept out of existence as
though a tornado had passed that
way, according to a report from the
U. S. Forest Service. More than
10000 acres of second growth pine,
spruce and aspen has been cut de-
structively; mills are operating double
shift and destructively on what first
growth spruce is left; and Minnesota
counties are selling second growth
timber as tax delinquent for as little
as 12c an acre. The Forest Service
makes renewed plea that the Min
nesota system be revised to prevent
such bargain sales, so there can be
regulated cutting.
Most people in Minnesota outside
the cut-over country supposed that
we had learned something since the
bad old days when the timber barons
were permitted to strip the country
bare of first growth timber, but this
report from the federal government
indicates that Minnesota learned
nothing whatever from that expert
ence.
We would suggest to Governor
Stassen that the protection of what
little timber resources we have left
would be a more worth while project
for him to undertake than most of
the things he has done as governor.

A professional man may deduct all
necessary expenses incurred in the
pursuit of his profession.
A loss arising from "fires, storms,
Shipwrecks, or other casualty" need
not be connected with the taxpay-
er's trade or business. If his home
or his automobile is destroyed by fire
he may claim a deduction for the
loss sustained unless compensated for
by insurance or otherwise. Loss of
property by theft is an allowable de-
duction.
In general, taxes are deductible
only by the person upon whom they
are imposed. Certain taxes are not
deductible, such as those assessed
against local benefits, and the Fed
eral income tax. The Federal tax
of 10 per cent on the retail sale
of jewelry, furs, and toilet prepara-
tions is not deductible by the purchas-
er. Other taxes not deductible are
those imposed on employees by the
Social Security act, Federal estate
and gift taxes and State inheritance,
estate, legacy, or succession taxes.
The Federal taxes on automobiles,
gasoline, cigarettes and liquor are
imposed upon the manufacturer, pro-
ducer, or importer, and are not de-
ductible by the purchaser or con-
Sumer.
Charitable contributions and gifts
made by an individual are deductible
within certain limitations, if actual
ly paid within the year. The or
ganization to which the gift is made,
for example a corporation, trust,
community chest, fund or foundation
must be created in or organized un-
der the law of the United States Or
any possession of the United States
or under the law of any State or
Territory, or of the District of CO.
lumbia and must be organized and
operated exclusively for religious,
charitable, scientific, literary or edu-
cational purposes, or for the pre-
vention of cruelty to children or ami
mails. Gifts to an individual are not
deductible.
Amounts paid or accrued within
the taxable year 1941 as interest on
Indebtedness are deductible, with GER
tain exceptions, from gross income
The Internal Revenue code pro-
vides for "a reasonable allowance
for the exhaustion, wear and tear
of property used in the trade or busi-
ness, including reasonable allow
ance for obsolescense." For convent
ence such allowance usually is re-
ferred to as depreciation.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT
(The Faribault JournaD

We like the good old American way
that most of our people received the
new regulations on the sale of auto
tires.
One of our readers whose tires are
pretty we'll worn said, well, what's
the difference, it won't hurt us to
walk. Possibly We'll be better off.
However, no matter, we need the
rubber for our army and navy and
that's all there is to it. I'll gladly
walk for the duration any place any
time to do my bit to lick the pesky
Japs."
He was not alone; such is the gen.
eral feeling of the people. 1t is
pleasant to note just that. The Japs
will eventually learn that they picked
upon the greatest people God ever
allowed to join together to form a
nation and they picked upon them in
such a treacherous manner that they
banded them together such as they
had never been before.

A SEVERE SHOCK
Mound, MINI.
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
The recent action of our Congress
men voting themselves a handsome
pension upon retirement comes as a
severe shock to the American peo-
pie. The word Pension" is usually
associated with those of our people
who are in need, and it is very doubt
full if one receiving $4,000 per year
can be placed in that class.
These are the men who passed all
of these laws labeled "Steps Short
of War" which every intelligent
American knew would get us into the
war; they are the ones who passed the
draft so that our boys will have to
risk their lives at S21 per month; they
are the ones who are now asking our
children to invest their dimes in de-
tense stamps and the rest of us to
skimp and save; they are the ones
who in the past have been opposing
a sensible pension for our needy
aged people and who now, when the
country is faced with one of its grav-
est dangers, see to it that regardless
of what happens, they are going to be
taken care of.
If that is the mentality of our lead
ers during this crisis, then may
Heaven help us!

world (the conspirators against gov

We call to mind the Roman Plate,
washing his hands of a well-known
miscarriage of justice and at the same
time, as the state authority, carry
ing out the injustice.
Nor should we miss the point that
looms large in the calculations of law
defiers that, in closing the mouth of
Mr.. Soltau, they will make speaking
out by others too hazardous. The
critics of Mr.. Soltau's methods will
not take up the fight; they did nothing
but talk when it was safer to do
something.
Like the ancient Lot, we in Mime
sofa have been pitching our tents
toward Sodom since repeal of prohi-
bition. We keep edging nearer by
lodging any laws that raise us bit
above animals. If Mr.. Soltau goes
to Saltwater Sodom will celebrate

HELPING THEMSELVES FIRST
Editor ASkov American:

EQltOr ASkOV American.
The much talked about Honesty
and sincerity" of our representatives
in Congress, regarding the question
of adequate old age pensions, has
finally been officially established
Their record now speaks for itself.
These congressman, who have made
so many convincing and sympathetic
promises to the voters about reason
able" old age pensions, have just
enacted an old age pension law with
maximum amount of $4,175-a-
year ($348 per month payable only
to themselves. These patriotic gentle
men could find ample time-war or
no war-to consider and pass this
special pension legislation for their
own personal benefit. They didn't
even need Recommendation" from
the President for such action.
However, the voters back home are
now demanding to know why these
congressman didn't pass the Town
send Plan bill and then accept their
pensions, along with some 100000
other patriotic American citizens,
from this pension law? Why this con-
tinued granting of exhorbitant pen
sions to those who have always re-
ceived the largest public salaries,
while millions of our nations old
people still remain ''ill-housed, ill
clothed, ill-fed?" If the Townsend
pensions are insufficient for retired
congressman to exist upon, then why
don't they purchase additional an
nuities from private insurance COM
panies and pay for them out of their
10,000-a-year salaries?

VICTORY FOR LAW VIOLATORS
Editor ASkoV American:

About everyone seems to realize
that the conviction of Rev. Henry J..
Soltau is victory for law violators,
but it may be worth while to mention
some of the implications of the situa-
ton:
In his effort for law enforcement
Mr.. Soltau was not interfering with
law-abiding citizens; nor would he
have been able to find so much and
such widespread evidence if public
officers, sworn to uphold our laws,
had been equal to their duties. Now
these laws are our self-government;
to violate. them is to defy this self
government. And when the defiers
are able to enlist the help of public
officials, we have at least a temporary
overthrow of self-government. If
there is no successful protest, the
overthrow becomes permanent. Hence
the great service of bold protesters
such as Mr.. Soltau.
The state (office of The Hennepin
County attorney was available to
pounce upon Mr.. Soltau for what
was at most minor infraction of
ethics having no effect on the ad-
ministration of justice. This office
could allow men making material
perjuries in applications for liquor
licenses, to slip through with small
fines, but it must have the limit of
the law for Mr.. Soltau allegedly for
saying that he had bought certain
bottle of liquor when witnesses could
be produced to say that his employe
did it for him.
Thus we can note the rest of gov
ernment above this county attorneys s
office unable to recognize anything
but the strict letter of the law. 1t
appears to lean over backward in
zeal for law and yet let the under
