that millions have been set aside for

If the Ruml plan is adopted, wage
workers and small farmers will be
taxed so heavily that they will have
to forget about buying war bonds

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service

Are you willing to do all you can
to aid. the war effort?
If you are, you will, among other
things, see to it that all chill
dren in your charge will be vaccin-
ated for smallpox and inoculated for
diphtheria when the immunization
clinics are held. For your conven-
fence, the physicians of the county
will set up clinics in centrally 10
Gated schools. The school children
will bring home notices telling you
the exact time and place of the
clinics.
According to the survey made last
fall, 1889 children who returned the
survey blanks should be inoculated
for diphtheria at this time, and l,945
should be vaccinated for smallpox if
they are to be protected from these
two preventable diseases. And as
these diseases seem to flourish and
spread in wartime, it is important
that we do protect our children. We
are specially anxious to have all the
pre-school youngsters protected from
these diseases because the death rate
is the highest in this age group. Amy
adult who wishes to be vaccinated or
inoculated may also come to the
clinics.
Pine county has gone ''all out" for
previous home-front-war- effort pro-
grams, so let us do likewise in this
one.

some chance to recover from the
penalties of war
War lays the foundation for more
war. History RI evidence of that.
Germany defeated France and the
French rebelled France defeated
Germany and the Germans rose to
fight We are in this war as an
aftermath of the first World war.
Honest leadership ought to tell the
mothers and fathers of American
soldiers that there can be no glor-
ious prospects Of permanent peace.
We cannot change the policies of the
British empire Americans cannot
say that the Germans and Italians
should remain conquered and broken
peoples. We cannot guarantee the
policies and attitude of Russia. We
cannot change the fundamental be-
liefs of the japanese, our allies in the
last war and our enemies in this.
We cannot guarantee that China or
India with their vast populations will
not rise to military ambitions. South
America is ruled by dictators for the
reason that most of the people can
not read or write. We cannot control
the world by force No nation, or
group of nations, can police the
world without consolidating the
strength of their enemies. The ideals
of democracy cannot be forced upon
any people.
The first task Of the United States
is to win this war. That has not
yet been done. ~.
When that war has been won it
will be necessary for the victorS to
seek to establish sound government
in vanquished lands, to punish the
guilty, to feed children who are hum
cry, to rule, for the shortest possible
period, the lands that are conquered.
The third step is for America to
adopt the right international poll
cies. Those policies cannot possibly
be determined today. Their nature
must rest upon the world as we shall
find it later. This is no time even
to discuss them, except as ideals,
for no one can foresee the world of
the future.
America wishes victory. 1t prays
for peace. Let us try to achieve both
at the proper time. 1t does little good
to discuss peace until our arms tri-
umph. Military victory is thing
which might be achieved in short
time. 1t rests upon force. Peace has
been an ambition of human beings
since the earliest days of civilization.
1t rests upon education, democracy
and Christianity. The forces of war
move rapidly, the forces of peace,
being eternal, require time.

2. Reduces the penalty in the
law passed in 1927 which now
makes it "gross misdemeanor"
to discriminate because of race
or color to "misdemeanor."
8. Struck out of the present
law the clause which makes any
person who violates the law
liable in civil action for damage
not exceeding $500.
Condemning the action taken by
the judiciary committee as un-Amer-
lean the Twin City Equal Rights Co
ordinating committee, composed of
Negro, Jewish and liberal whites,
states that it is step backward in
the social development which has
now existed in Minnesota for a great
number of years.
In letter to the membership of
the house the committee adds that
"By the deletion of these various
provisions from the Senate Bill, the
present Equal Rights statute as en-
acted in 1927, Section 1921 of Mason's
Minnesota statutes, will lose its eff
ficacy and potency, for these dele
tons remove the civil benefit which
an aggrieved person has for a vio-
lation and a breach of the present
equal rights act"
The house opposition to the orig
inal bill as passed in the senate,
apparently hopes to win by trying
to get minority groups fighting each
other, thus injuring the cause of both
and promote the interests of vested
group. In so doing it would hinder
the cause of democracy, justice and
equal rights, the foundation of Amer
lean government.

DISAGREES
Editor ASkov American:


l would like to express my opin-
ion on the series of advertisements
being run in various country news
papers, including the American, un-
der the heading 1.-THE Old Judge
Says and run by the Conference
Of Alcoholic Beverage Industries, Inc.
They compose what is obviously
intended to be a sly bit of propa-
ganda to picture the liquor indus
try as great big benevolent friend
of all the world, furnishing the gov
eminent with billions of dollars
worth of alcohol, and paying a large
percentage of taxes. One ad slyly
limited that the FBI was authority for
the statement that states that have
prohibition are the ones that have
worse crime record than the whole
rest of the country.
Lack of space does not permit a
full discussion of the many fallacies
in these ads. just want to point
out that / am glad that our "Old
Judges" on the whole, who have had
first hand knowledge Of the ways OF
liquor dealers and of the havoc being
wrought by the liquor traffic, know
better than to express such idiotic
ideas as those expressed by the "Old
Judge" No. one with an ounce OF
brains is going to be fooled. A bust
ness that will spend money in that
sort of advertisements is getting tit
terry. 1t is afraid that the public
will find out something about the
waste of human life and property
that is the direct result of drinking
of intoxicants. And so lot of the
old Misrepresentation of national
prohibition days are being dragged
out with hope that the younger
generation will not do too much
thinking.

We said that we fought the first
war to make the world safe for
democracy. We all know how wrong
that was. We had less democracy
in the world following the war than
we had before it.
For about ten years before the
present war the people of the United
States were told that this nation
would not again engage in war and
that the youth af America would
never fight abroad. We now see how
that promise failed.
The people of the nation are now
being deceived Or falsely encour-
aged by glorious slogans and plans
for perpetual peace.
The American people deserve hon.
est talk. They do not merit decep-
ton founded in false intention and
ignorance. OF course, it is splendid
and inspiring to talk about peace.
We all wish it. The world wishes it.
But leaders who are honest and who
know history and human nature
should not make such false prom
Uses.
In the first place, war never brings
peace. War brings exhaustion, dis
aster, hunger, anarchy and distress.
This war will be followed by these
things. The terms and prospects of
lasting peace will appear in about
ten years, after the nations have had

TO MOTHER
The race is almost over now,
The crown you soon will wear;
Forgotten then will be the trials
And burdens that you bear.
The midnight hours are ticking by
AS loving hands caress,
The fevered brow and twitching
hands
Of one we'll always bless.
This world has never been your

You just were passing through;
But everywhere beside your path,
It seems that flowers grew.
We know you have better home
And We'll be coming too,
When in the twinkling of an eye
Wen meet the Lord and you.

war NEWS
By Mrs. ChaS. Krantz
Pine County Farmer Fieldwoman.

See the haystack bottoms burning
Watch the top soil go;
Farmers are slow in learning
Facts that all should know d"
Watch our soil grow harder,
Both to pillow and cultivate; ID.
Crop yields keep going lower. -
Folks will wake too late
Humus all depleted,
Erosion takes sad toll;
Farmers, soon defeated,
Wish they'd saved the soil
... County Agent, Iowa.
Hard soil may be caused by lack
of organic matter, decayed vegetable
matter, such as stalks, hay, or roots
of plants. After it decomposes, sc
it can not be identified, it is known
as humus. This decayed matter
makes the soil crumbly, lets both
water and air into the soil.
Pine county farmers are buying
a lot of feed-meanS that we are
producing the food we need to help
win the war. 1t means lot of cows,
pigs and chickens and increased
livestock means more natural fer
tilizers and that means better soil
better soil means bigger and better
crops-and that means greater re-
turns to the farmer, to the soil and
to our country.
S. c. S. figures it would take three
billion dollars and rs years to adapt
farming practices to the most pro-
ductive use Of the nations present
300 million acres now used as crop
and range land.
No matter how much we may
eventually be restricted by ration
ing, we will still be the best fed
nation in the world and they
couldn't take SO much away that we
would have as little as our Oft
praised pioneers.

A lob To Do

From the man behind the pillow
to the busy executive at his city
desk the American people this week
are swinging into action to back the
greatest financial undertaking by our
government in its history, the second
war loan drive, with goal of thir-
teen billion dollars.
While this is large sum in itself
this amount represents only 10 per
cent of the estimated government
expenditures for the fiscal year. Fig
uring per capita it would mean $500
for every man, woman and child in
the United States.
Under the slogan, They Give
Their Lives-You Lend Your Money"
the drive was off to good start
Monday, opening day, but only
through continued efforts and sac
rifices will the goal be attained.
While those on the home front are
perhaps feeling the pinch of war
with gasoline rationing, food ration
ing, higher taxes and prices and
other minor discomforts, it is the
men on the fighting fronts who must
risk their lives. Only through united
action here can we keep passing the
ammunition" to give those men every
possible chance to win the battles
and final victory.
AS Secretary Morgenthau puts it
:. 1--WE have a job to do and we
are called for service to our coun-
try. Our dollars are called to serv-
ice too. Let us all ask ourselves,
Shall we be more tender with our
dollars than with the lives of our
sons?'"

THE SKIP-A-YEAR-T PLAN
Editor ASkov American:

EDITOR ASkOV American:
Congressman Harold Knutson's
observations" april 81 indicates
to register favorably in this area.
l shall not mention Mr.. Knutson's
personal interest in the Ruml plan,
but l object to his blowing smoke
in the eyes of his constituents; it
does not "clear the atmosphere"
which was the avowed purpose of
Mr.. Knutson's explanations.
The Ruml pay-as-you-go tax plan
is not tax plan, but a tax evasion;
it would skip taxes for 1912, which
fell too heavily on the shoulders of
MIR. Ruml and his class to suit them.
Congressman Celler of New York,
puts it this way, "The Ruml plan
would not in the long run forgive
anybody any taxes, it would merely
change the individual incidence of
taxes" In plain English it would
shift the taxes from the Ruml class
to the low income groups.
Sure, Uncle Sam needs taxes, and
is going to get them; if $1,000, OOO, 900,
1912 taxes, which fell mostly on the
rich, is forgiven, then the deck is
cleared for action on tax plans which
would fall on the low income groups.
That's what the Ruml plan would do.
1t is interesting to note what the
Ruml skip-1942 tax plan would do
to different income groups, because
it shows it up for what it is.
If your income for 1912 was
SIS 100000, your taxes would be
81 100000, and your net income
would be 100000. If you could
skip 1912 taxes you would have
saved seven times one years net
income. If your income was $1,000
(married couple) you would not pay
taxes for 1912 and therefore the
Ruml plan would not save you any
thing.

design to encircle Germany, and to
liberate the countries which she has
occupied.
Japanese Activities.
1t stands to reason that the crush
ing of japanese imperialism also is
necessary prelude to the peace and
to the victory of the United Nations.
And once more the world has been
bloodily reminded of the urgency
with which General Douglas Mac
Arthur has reiterated that the Jap
anese are not through yet
They have again attempted at
tacks on Guadalcanal and other
Islands in the southwest Pacific
but have been beaten back on
every occasion.
The fact of their renewed activ-
tiles shows that they still have ter
ritorial ambitions in that part of the
world, but the failure of their at
tempts also indicates that their power
is waning.
TWO-FOld Purpose.
Although it has never been Off
cially or definitely stated that Ger
many is to be defeated first, then
Japan, that seems, from many an
nouncements, to be the plan. But
the war against Japan has two
fold purpose: First there is the alb
solute necessity of stopping any fur
Their Japanese advance in the Paci-
fic-and, have you noticed that for
more than year they have not sue
ceeded in adding any new conquests
to their former ones?-and then, the
big job of forcing them out of the
territories they have taken, remains.
They comprise vast stretches
of China, the Philippines, the
Malay Peninsula, Burma, Thai
land and the Dutch East Indies,
and, obviously, it will be a vast
undertaking to Wrest these lands
away from their cOnquerer.
But there is heard, with increas-
ing frequency, in many of the cap
itals of the world whispered rumor
that in case Hitler is completely de-
feated, Japan is likely to surrender,
knowing that she will be confronted
with the full force of the mighty
arms of the United Nations, now
fighting on SO many scattered fronts.
When Hitler falls, the attack on
Japan can be concentrated, and
Churchill already some time ago
limited that that is exactly what will
happen.
Right now, the plan of the United
Nations calls for not only the stop
ping of any further Japanese pro-
gress but also for their being driven
out of territories they have taken.
And that will be hard road to
walk -
