FOR REPEAL OF LAW

ship to circulate them. Please help, see
or write me naming your township
any law that will not bear the inspec-
ton and vote of all the people is
decidedly un-American, regardless OF
it's intentions or what committee OF
group sponsors it.
Quoting from the committee of 1875
letter, it costs about $40 per year
to feed a dog. In case it does not
have that much value about the farm
the 10 bucks should be given to the
war program or Red Cross.
Now I can not get the contents OF
the above sentence through my head
It seems like it was not all there. Sc
may I ask if this applies to our dogs
only or to horses, cattle and humans
also? It wouldn't include any COM
mittees or groups who enact laws
behind their neighbor taxpayers back
and then start quoting patriotism
would it? Or tax children two bucks
on a 3x10x12 inch house pet to help
pay the $3.50 spent for Pine county
dog license tags would it? Gosh, il
it did we could save quite feed bill
couldn't we?
In 1910 a farmer near Kerrick cir
culated a petition for dog tax. In
1941 he shot the bear that was kill
ing his sheep. 1t seems queer that
Pine county, the only one in our
state to enact the dog tax, is situated
where bear are protected and allowed
to destroy at random.
With $480 gone for tags and dime
a pooch to town clerks and you, q
committee of thirteen, advocating a
one dollar dog tax, how come you
forgot provision whereas the IA
vored rs per cent could collect first?
Guess you are going to get hooked
along with the others after all. And
it shall be the duty of the county at
torney to institute proceedings against
every owner who does not wear 4
tag, mean on the dog, or who has
violated any provisions Of this act
Now folks, do not harbor any i'll
feelings toward our county officials
who are not at fault, but use your
own judgment on the others. In
order to prevent great deal Of
trouble and expense in this county
help with the petitions.

Cattle Trade Steady
Continued from Page -
Hogs Continue Up,

Hog prices continued to climb.
Gains since the close of last week
will approximate SOC for butchers,
with instances noted of more advance
on heavy offerings and sows. De-
mand for the light light group has not
expanded to any material extent. Re-
ceipts were listed as moderate in
the east, with the dressed trade on
pork loins $1.00 to $1.50 higher than
week ago. Peak of winter mar
ketings of hogs was reached during
mid-January, but offerings at major
live centers at the present time are
heavier than recently. Top money
for the week to date is $1315, the
practical limit being $3.50, while
good sows cashed largely at $3.50,
a few reached $12.65. Mostly steady
money prevails for feeders.
Slaughter lambs sold at steady
rates on Monday, but today an i'm
prOvement in demand was noted with
fat lambs selling mostly 15c to Csc
over last Friday. Fat ewes were up
Csc and feeding lambs cleared at
steady rates. Good and choice native
and fed lambs cashed at $11.75 to
mostly $11.9O. Good and choice fed
ewes brought $500 to $40 with top
money going on one double deck
of 121 pound averages. Load lots of
western feeding lambs realized SLIPS
and the natives made $1,000 to $10.75.

still, I propose that Mr.. Knutson
personally lead an expedition of con-
gressmen (the more the better) to
the Philippines to swap places with
10 of MacArthur's brave soldiers for
80 days, and I'm sure the boys would
legislate some profits out of war

I'm also sure that Mr.. Knutson

his most valuable time splitting the

Commenting upon pensions-for-
congressman, Charles B. Cheney, po-
litical analyst from the Minneapolis
Morning Tribune, writes in his col
umn of February 10: Folks around
here are getting stirred up about the
bill giving elective officers the right
to qualify for Federal pensions. IT
has no defenders in the Minnesota
delegation"
I have a letter from Senator Joseph
H. Ball, wherein he writes on this
same pension bill as follows: 81 was
absent on account of illness that day
(when the senate voted on this billy
Had I been there, would have voted
for the bill, but also for the Byrd
amendment requiring the payment
of back premiums :. think the only
ton with this legislation is the fact
that they did not require this back
payment" However, on February 49,
when Senator Downey of California
tried to get the senate to approve
his amendment providing our most
needy old people with modest $50
a-month pension, Senator Ball voted
against this aid for the old folks
back home.
1t would be extremely interesting
to learn why Senator Ball favors the
opportunity of providing retired sena-
tors with a $348-a-month pension
while he so readily opposes the op-
portunity to provide mere $30-a-
month pension for the needy senior
citizens of Minnesota.
AS Senator Ball is such a strong
supporter of the social security act
it would also be interesting to know
why Congress did not amend this
legislation to include retired con-
gressmen. The senator said last year
that this act g. does work and it
does assure economic security ~
Then why is it not good enough for
the retired members of Congress?

NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page ~

Continued from Page -
Macarthur has not only been
able to stave off his attackers
from COrregidOr and Bataan, but
he has torn to shreds a regiment
or two of the enemy's, and he has
begun, successfully SO far, often
sive measures against him.
1t is a question how long Mac
Arthur, denied help, will be able to
hold out. But, at all events, he is
giving a fine account of himself, and
he is preventing the Japanese from
directing thousands of men to other
fronts.
European Situation
At the same time that offensive
strategy seems to become the order
of the day in the Far East, there are
strong indications that it will be fol-
lowed on the European front, too.
For one thing, there seem to
be prospects of a British invasion
of German-held parts of con-
tinental Europe, either by way
of Norway or northern France
or along both these routes.
During the last few days repeated
rumors have been heard that German
warships were operating along the
coast of Norway in an apparent effort
to ward off British raid on giant
scale, and there also has been Brit
ish parachute attack on German-oc-
cupied parts of northern France.
Spring in the Air.
Furthermore, the Russian counter
offensive against naZi invaders is
being continued with, it seems, accel-
Grated success. Spring may be Hit
ler's ally in Russia, but it may also
be that his forces have been bled so
terribly that any new move he might
make would be far less terrific in
damage than he had calculated.
Important is the fact that Ger
many never says anything nova
days about invading the British
Isles. Whatever invasion talk
there is, comes from the British
side of the English Channel, and
it has to do with that part of
Europe which Hitler has subdued,
for the time being.
Jointly, the new United Nations
offensive policy-and the British in
vasion possibilities-seem to show
that SPRING is ARRIVING, in more
senses than one.

Editor ASkOv American:
Please grant me space to publicly
express my hearty endorsement of the
letter by Albert P. Juno of Golden

ing state and national ticket for
1912. 1t is true that Hja1mar Peter
sen has been well tested and tried

important post. We all know him
We know he has, more than once
forgot self to serve the public in
the best interest of all.
AS for A. B. Gilbert of Mound
Mimi, I have no knowledge of his
record as a public servant, but if ]
am any judge, he is wise, broad
minded man, and knows just what
the duties of an official is and what
the needs of the people are. With
these natural qualifications and de-
sires or willingness to forget self and
exercise his official duties to the best
of his ability, no man can fail to be
a good public servant.
So all said, am perfectly willing
to cast my lot with either of these
high-minded men with the highest
honors we people of Minnesota can
confer upon them; and I will take
the liberty to say that many of my
neighbors feel as do. Political party
