McCOrd Awarded Army Contract

Jack McCord, cattle rancher of Chirikof and Sitkalidak is- lands, returned recently from Seattle after arranging for the purchase of refrigeration sup plies to be used in connection with a 100000 pound beef Army contract he has been awarded.
 This is the largest meat con tract he has ever received, al- though last year the Navy bought $23, ,OOO worth of meat from him.
 McCord's present contract is for cattle on Chilikof island, shorthorns that were descended from stock brought there in 1888, which he has improved by cross-breeding with imported bulls. Two army veterinarians and 1 M. c. Anderson, federal farm security administrator in Alaska, visited the island and passed on the animals for health and conformity. Anderson pro- nounced them the finest range cattle he had seen anywhere in the west.
 McCord and the Frye Pack ing Company of Seattle took a 20-Year lease on the islands from the government, lengthen- ed from 5 years after they had demonstrated they had improv- ed the stock there. AIcCord makes his home on Sitkalidak, where he has cattle and sheep.
 On Chirlkof the cattle require neither feeding, watering nor sheltering, since the temperature never reaches freezing. McCord est mates that about $50 cattle will be required to supply the  s)O.' % pounds for the Army sontr ct issued by the Alaska Defense Command. The meat will be distributed wherever the ADO sees fit.

Ramage died and left his big farm
divided between his daughter and
one son, Robert Ramage, Jr. Young
Ramage moved to California, where
he still lives, and rented his farm of
1870 acres to Eddie Thye who lived
on it during his farming existence
and while selling farm machinery be-
fore entering politics. From this
rented farm he operated the farm left
to his former wife by her father as
there was no buildings on the Mrs
Thye place.
Thye was always considered good
farmer and he surely must have
made well as the records of the
county auditors office in this county
reveal the fact that he swore to ex-
pending $27, 500 in the pre-primary
campaign for lieutenant governor. If
he did not make this as dirt farmer
he surely had good healthy hackers.

which is not restricted by the dis
franchising of large number of its
citizens.
The will of the majority is abro-
gated because the Southerners in
Congress by the seniority rule and
the assistance of the vicious poll
tax election system perpetuate them
selves in office and by reason of such
seniority hold most Of the import
ant committee assignments and chair
manshipS.
O'Hara is not the first Minnesota
congressman to oppose abolishing the
poll tax Congressman Harold Knut-
son from the ST. Cloud district has
never willingly supported the at
tempts of fair-minded legislators to
give every citizen chance to vote
in the South.
It's disgraceful that among the few
Republicans who voted against the
bill in the House that any Mime
sofa representative should be found
In the days gone by, Northerner,
whether Democrat or Republican,
could almost certainly be depended
upon to support square deal for the
Negro and the underprivileged whites
in the South. This is no longer
true. Today some of the most deter
mined enemies of full participation
by these two groups in the functions
of citizenship are found in the North
and this goes for Minnesota.

O'HARA JOINS POLL TAKES

Minnesotans were surprised to
learn that among the most vigorous
opponents of the poll tax measure
to appear on the scene in Congress
was Congressman Joseph O'Hara, Re-

Mimi
O'Hara joined the Solid South bloc
in its efforts to continue to keep
several million whites and blacks in
seven southern states from exercis-
ing their constitutional right to vote
for the party or candidates of their
choice.
His contention as reported by the
press associations was, eff Congress
has the right to change the poll tax
qualification, then it has the right to
change any qualification" By his
stand the Minnesota Congressman
lined up with the rotten-borough
poll-tax beneficiary congressman
from the South who are reelected
year after year by only small per-
centage Of the citizens of their dis
trictS.
This iniquitous system not only
robs the people of that section but it
also cheats the people of the North

NOT NEW TO HIM

Editor Askov American:
met Mr. Everyman the other day,
or one who thinks he's every man.
We rode in the same seat on the
same street car. And was he hot?
l felt the heat as soon as sat down.
He was Simmering like a tea kettle
just before it starts to boil In a few
moments he was boiling-boiling
over.
This is helluva situation, he said
looked at him Sympathetically Here
am with two cars Chats what we're
supposed to have, two cars in the
garage-and there they are), and I
have to ride these last century street
cars.
I looked at him underStandingly.
There's my ice box, he went on.
It's as empty as Mother Hubbard S
cupboard. 1 used to have it stuffed
full all the time
l looked at him less sympathet-
ically.
l want to take a fishing trip up
north, he continued, but can't do it
on account of gas rationing. This will
be the first time I've missed in 20
years.
Well, it was about time for Vesu-
vius to erupt So | went into action.
You are misquoting, l said. Mr..
Hoover said two cars in every ga
rage, not 'the garage" l have a
garage but it's as empty as Mrs. Hub
bard's cupboard.
l have two neckties, hissed, but
can't buy gasoline to clean 'em with,
to say nothing of going up north
And during that 20 years you were
going up north to catch fish you
didn't need, went nowhere.
AS for rationing, that's all I've
known for nigh onto 70 years. There
are forty millions more like me-
Some of them do not have even an
empty garage. Some of them have
never had a vacation-I mean a trip
away from the place they happened
to be. AS for vacations from work,
third of their lives have been vaca-
tions.
But I'm happy, I said, that now
at last, at long last, few people,
even though they have so much
money they stink, they can't buy any
more grub than I can.

THE PAYOFF
(Long Prairie Leader)

(Long PRAIRIE Leader)
The Hughes for congress incident
last summer is now closed. Just be-
fore former Governor Stassen left
the state capital he appointed Hughes
to the Board of Tax Appeals. 1t was
common gossip at the time of the
campaign that Stassen got Hughes
to run in an attempt to defeat Harold
KnutsOn. The Tax Appeal job pays
$4,000 year and involves very little
work. 1t is useless board and the
legislature intended to abolish it
when the system was changed from
the Tax Commission to the Tax
Commissioner, but in some myster-
ious manner the action was not taken
Mr.. Hughes can sit in his ST. Cloud
law Office make occasional visits to
the state capitol, and draw his pay.
AS we recall, Mr.. Hughes put his
candidacy last summer on high patri-
Otic grounds.

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
(The Silver Lining


Although we speak of "the pursuit
of happiness" as one of our rights,
we all know that happiness seldom
is captured by pursuing it. 1t comes
as the result of pursuing other things.
Chase after happiness and you'll
never find it. But go after other
things and happiness will find you!
Edison found happiness in the
chase after new ideas. Burbank
found it in the search for new vari-
eties of plants Paderewski found it
in his hours of practice at the piano.
John Muir found it by climbing
mountains. Goethals found it by
digging the Panama Canal. Joseph
B. Straus found it by building the
Golden Gate Bridge. Gutzon Borg
lum found it by carving the faces of
five great Americans on Mount Rush
more, in the Black Hills.
Look for happiness and it hides
its face Look for opportunities to
do good work, lend helping hand,
inspire the discouraged, radiate joy,
say a good word, and before you
know it happiness will be smiling
upon you.
Some of mans biggest headaches
come from directly pursuing happi-
ness. And some of his truest happi-
ness comes from apparently running
away from happiness!

abandon his plans for a new
summer offensive against Russia;
he is in no position to send re-
infOrcementS to that front, for
he needs all the men he can
spare, on other fronts, when the
general offensive against him be-
gins; and American and British
bombs have played havoc with
his war industries to such an ex-
tent that it is said he has not
enough tanks, planes, guns and
munitions on hand. Indeed, it
has even been said that he is
running short of food
Whatever else the situation NAV
be, certain it seems to be that Hitler

passed to his enemies.
Bombs.
While it has not been officially
stated that the general offensive
against Hitler actually has started,
there is d general impression that the
terrific American and British bomb
ing of German and Italian cities
really is part of that final CAM
paign.
Cities on Sicily and elsewhere
in southern Italy have been mer-
cilessly attacked, and so have
German industrial centers like
Cologne, Dusseldorf, Essen, OBJ
erhausen, BOchum, Kiel, Bremen,
Wilhelmshafen, Cuxhafen, and
others.
If this may not be actual drama
itself, it is at least a most explosive
curtain-raiser.
Japanese Front.
Hitler is not doing well on any
front; Italy is doing still worse, and
Japan has nothing to brag about,
for her offensive against China
the newest one-has run into a snag,
and the Chinese, far from exhausted
despite six years of uninterrupted
warfare, are putting up a marvellous
defense
In new combat with United
States forces at Guadalcanal in
the southwest Pacific, the Jap
anese have suffered a huge loss
of airplanes, their resistance be-
ing quite feeble.
So, really, it does look all around
as though the general offensive of
the United Nations when it formally
begins, will have been well timed,
for-all the foes are getting weaker!

lar group superior to the mass OF
people, and particularly people OF
color; and who do not, in fact, be-
lieve in democracy. The proposed
legislation to outlaw the poll tax
should be pushed through at the
earliest possible date, not only as a
measure of belated justice to the
people affected, but as a token to the
world that our profession of democ-
racy is more than lip service. What
faith can the peoples of China, of
India, of the Arab world, of the
Malayan countries, and of Africa
have in our style of democracy if we
continue to permit the existence of
obstructive laws to prevent voting
by colored people within our own
borders?

WHEN MANNERHEIM OUTDD
HITLER

(By A. L. Evje, Moorhead, Mimi,
in the Minneapolis Tribune).
In the Morning Tribune of May %
there is an article by Congressman
Pittenger arguing against war by this
country on Finland. Representing a
district which is populated by large
number of Films, Pittenger thinks he
is doing them a favor by his stand.
This is not the case. Finland is as
much under the despot's heel as any
country that Hitler has subjugated
and enslaved. A war against Fin
land is a war of liberation of the
Firms from Hitler -Mannerheim ty-
ranny, and we owe it to them as much
as we owe it to the Norwegians and
Czechs.
The real Firms are opposed to
Mannerheim, Hitler and the Ger
mans. It was with the aid of some
IL 900 German mercenaries, recruited
from the Kaiser's army after the first
World war that the interloper Man
nerheim achieved power in Finland.
He overthrew the legally constituted
government of Finland after butcher
ing some $4,000 Finnish peasants and
workers. Mannerheim preceded the
Nazis in mass murder through star
walton and disease. His 73,915 vic
TINS place him even above Hitler.
Mannerheim, like Hitler, is staunch
believer in the planned starvation of
his prisoners. Those who cannot do
slave labor are purposely starved to
death.

DEMOCRACY AND POLL TAX
Mortified independently

One really commendable action
taken by the national house of repre-
sentatives was the vote, 268 to ITO,
to call up again for consideration
bills aimed at outlawing the poll tax
as requirement for voting. The
poll tax is a device used in seven
southern states as a means for pre-
venting Negroes and poor whites
from voting. It is device to keep
political, and thereby economic, pow
er in the hands of fraction of the
people-'the wise, the rich, and the
good,"-as has always been the policy
of those who hold their own particu-

A Little Spice

When the war is over, we will
have just as much peace as we have
justice in the World-no more
When man thinks he has reached
the "top," he is standing on slip
perry board.
A nation never gets higher sense
of morality than it is willing to live
at "home"
There are millions of honest people
in this world, but it is always best to

trict, was especially active in behalf
of the war profiteers. In that action
and vote the congressman was not
representing the interests of the Sixth
district nor the people as whole
An article by Senator Robert
NJ. La Toilette, Jr., of Wisconsin,
on the Ruml tax plan, entitled,
Tories Call the Tax Tune" was
published in The Progressive. It
is reproduced here:
Let no one be deceived by the al
legged compromise" pay-as-you-go
tax plan finally enacted by Congress
The Rumlites won the battle. The
Administration may have saved its
face, but the Rumlites saved their
taxes.
The so-called Ruml plan has for
the past year been heralded through
out the nation as a pay-as-you-gO
plan, a plan to enable the taxpayer
to pay his taxes as he received his
income paying it in smaller amounts
conveniently and painlesSly. Most
people are for that, and those behind
the Ruml plan sought to enlist their
support on the theory that such
was the main purpose and effect OF
their scheme.
But it became apparent in the long
Congressional battle that their main
interest was not in a pay-as-you-go
plan. Their principal objective was
to secure the forgiveness of taxes.
In levying taxes on the ability-to-
pay principle, the rate of tax is in
creased as the taxpayers income
rises. This is based on the incon-
trovertible fact that persons needs
do not increase proportionately with
his income and that as income ex-
ceeds his needs, an increasing per-
centage of it becomes available to
finance the cost of government from
which he is benefting.
