WHAT 1T MEANS TO US
(Northfield independently


Total state income tax collections
in Minnesota for 1912 were SIS, SOP,
646.93. This amount-18h million
dollars-will have to be transferred
to the personal property and real
estate taxes if those who would abol-
ish the income tax have their way
in the present legislature. That is
if present school standards and pres
ent rates of retirement of school in
debtedness are to be maintained.
In the fiscal year 1941-42 the North
field school district received an ap-
portionment of $6.94O from the state
income tax to apply on the district
Indebtedness.
In the same period the high and
graded schools of Rice county re-
ceived a total of $3.50 from the
income tax, and Rice county rural
ungraded schools received $2,390.
Receipts from the income tax in
1912 were $500 per cent greater than
in the year 1941, and consequently
the appointments to the various
school districts for the current school
year will likely be considerably larg-
er than in the past.
Is the Mortified school district
ready to give up this source of rev.
enue for the payment Of school in
debtedness and are Rice county rural
school districts ready to make up
the loss Of this income by raising their
property taxes?

RETAIN DEMOCRACY!
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
We are fighting a gIobal war to dc
away with dictators!
We regret to know that in the pres
ent legislature at st. Paul, there are
few members who are trying to
"Hitlerize" our. legislature by reduc-
ing its memberships. order that il
may be more easily controlled and
lead by certain groups be they for
the better or the worse-which is
generally for the benefit of special
interests!
Minnesota voters are absolutely op-
posed to Capitalization of government
be it the legislature or it's local units
of government!
With public sentiment in our state
crystaliZing on this question today
we hope that our legislature will
forget about "Hitlerizing" our legis-
lature. The men who vote for its
adoption will receive a hot reception
from the people in their home dis
tricts.
Democracy" in Minnesota mus,
be retained at all cost!

PUT MORE LIFE. IN SYNTHETIC
- RUBBER EFFORT
(Long Prairie Leader

(Long Prairie Leader)
News dispatches reveal that the
synthetic rubber program is not going
forward as fast as hoped. Red tape,
quarrels between bureaus about the
use of raw materials and indifference
by high officials are given as the
causes. This is bad news. The peo-
pie have been expecting that the
rubber supply would be increased
by the coming summer to an. extent
such that not only war needs could
be taken care of, but the start begun
to supply civilian needs. There are
few things better calculated to build
citizen. morale than to restore the
use of cars. No one expects free and
unlimited use of cars, at least when
use involves restricting the supply for
the armed forces, but if the shortage
could be eased, it would relieve much
inconvenience and loss, The people
have been basing their hopes on the
progress of the synthetic rubber de-
velopment. If this development is
dragging for reasons of bungling and
inefficiency there are going to be
repercussions. -....

A Swedish Blitzkrieg

Twas long ago, so Oscar says,
The Sioux still fought with arrows;
Before the white man, raising hell,
Cut loose with plows and harrows.
Some hardy Swedes, in Sweden, fed
On Danish copenhagen,
Or lutefisk or picked fisk,
Or was it I'm mistagen?
But anyhoo, so Oscar says,
These Swedes, for land so frantic,
Pushed off scow and hoped wind
Would blow them DER Atlantic.
At last they found Manhattan's shore
And sailed into the harbor;
But Olaf, looking round him, said,
"Ay tank ay skal go farder"
They yolked pair of Shorthorn bulls
Up to prairie schooner,
Then started out one night at noon,
Or maybe it was sooner
And Oscar says the food was scarce,
Yet taverns were much scarcer;
DuL o"SuSS al lld1oy
And every one pulled through sir.
They found the trail so rough-so
'fon,"
Their scow sometimes quite tippy,
But soon without slop or slip,
They crossed the Mississippi
Eventually, so Oscar swears,
Without bomb or motah,
These Swedes dug in and took a state
And called it Nord-Dakotah.
The old scow's wheels are broken
now;
The bulls are both bull-lonie.
But stop in if your whistles dry,
Well open up pony!

PUBLICITY
(Northland Times, Bemidji)

(NOrtnland Times, bemlQu)
Apparently Governor Stassen is
cropping for something that will grab
the imagination of the people through
out the country and has started a
crusade against the towns and cities
in Minnesota that need cleaning up.
On top of that, he advocates releas-
ing convicts to work on farms. OF
the two proposals that Governor Stas-
sen has inaugurated, the latter doesn't
seem to be so popular with the farm
ers. Just having anyone work on the
farm doesn't appeal to the farmer.
In the first place, the convict might
not have been farmer before he
was jailed, and in the second place,
if he was farmer, there are many
folks that don't banker to have a con-
vict around their homes, especially
when there are women and children
present. .....-

to have you teach me when I get

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW


that there was agreement about
fighting until the Axis powers
were ready to surrender uncondi-
tiOnally. But that in itself hardly
justified the trumpeting of tire
mendous importance" for that
has been known right along.
Whatever importance may attach
to the Casablanca meeting seems to
lie in the military decisions and
agreements arrived at in deep sec
recy; withdrawn from the public gaze,
they can of course, not be appraised
at this time.
Absences.
There has been a good deal of COM
ment, some of it bitter, upon the fact
that neither Russia nor China was
represented at the ten-day conference,
official explanations being that Josef
Stain was too busy fighting the Nazis
on his soil, and that Chang Kai-shek
of China was not invited for the rea-
son that while his country is at war
with Japan, it is not at war with
Germany. One might have thought
it desirable to have representatives of
the Russian and the Chinese govern
ments present, but that was not to be-
Having finished his business at
Casablanca, President Roosevelt paid
surprise visit to the West African
Negro republic of Liberia, and then
went on to Brazil, to Trinidad, and
other places before he finally re-
turned to Washington Sunday
1t would be relatively easy to form
opinions about the Casablanca confer
ence, but in view of the fact that the
most essential part of the informa-
ton, for reasons of military exped-
iency, has been withheld, opinions
would be not well-founded and-per-
fectly futile, anyhow.
Pacific Picture.
There was ample evidence that the
CaSablanca confereeS view the pres
ent general situation with good deal
of deep satisfaction, for everything is
really coming the United Nations
way.
That impression is further
strengthened by the news from
the southwest Pacific where
Americans and Australians keep
on checking repeated japanese
attempts to Land reinforcements
on the island of New Guinea and
in the Solomon islands. 1t seems
quite clear-almost definite by
now-that a stop has been put to
Japanese aggression in this part
of the world. ...
The enemy doesn't get close enough
to shore to even try to land troops
or supplies, for the American bomb
ers and warships make short shift of
their transports before they get a
chance to approach land.
And so, generally speaking, the
situation is, as far as the United Ma
tons are concerned, one that war
rants beginning optimism. In fact,
one may say it has never looked bet
ter or more promising than just now.

BETTER PREPARED
(The Montgomery Messenger

Tic WOIItSUIIIeIy MeSSeIIBeIJ
At time when farmers coopera-
tives are being tested to the limit
under the surge of war, it is good
plan for members to examine the
stuff their organizations are made of,
and how they were built in the be-
ginning. Cooperatives that have been
built soundly from the individual
farmer up, and have been properly
manned and managed, are better
prepared to stand the stress of these
turbulent times than the ordinary
business concern. Members of such
cooperatives are fortunate. Farmers
had no such protection and hope in
the other world war.

Fact And Opinion
Still More Taxes!
BY E. C. Stengelsen.

Stlll MOTc lakes.
There is sharp difference of opin-
ion between the Treasury department
and most Congressman concerning the
best methods to use in raising the
additional Is billions Mr.. Roosevelt
demands.
To Congressman, the chief objec-
tive is to provide money for the very
good reason that the government
must have it.
To Mr.. Morgenthau, however, there
is another objective, of almost equal
| Importance, to be attained. This is
the need of taking away from the
public the excess buying power which
higher wages and wider employment
are presumed to be creating, in order
that initiation may be prevented.
In choosing between the two view
points, am inclined to string along
with the Congressman. While it is
not true of all of them, some, at least,
! have at some time or other known
some degree of poverty. The rich
l.
this reason, but because they are
closer to the people than Washing
ton bureaucracy will ever be, l think
they have a clearer understanding
of the situation of the common man
than he has. And since it is from
the common people the money must
largely come, it is imperative, if the
program is to be just and equitable,
that their situation be understood.
Mr.. Morgenthau relies on graphs
and statistics to tell him the spread
between accumulated buying power
and the goods and services available
for purchase at safe price levels.
| When he sees total national income
exceeding the amount for which there
is legitimate outlet, the difference
becomes an inflationary threat and
Mr.. Morgenthau becomes jittery.
He would remove this threat by
Selling this surplus by thinly yelled
method of confscation.
| Where Mr.. Morgenthau errs in his
1
calculations is in his failure to I'M
derstand that only a relatively small
portion of the public is earning sub
stantially more than its barest needs.
industrialists, war workers and farm
ers are about the only ones with
greatly increased incomes. Whatever
surplus buying power has been ac-
cumulated is largely held by these
three groups.
AS to even these three, the over
all figure for national income is mis-
leading. The substantial part going
to the farmer, for example, has by
no means raised him to the rank of
an economic royalist.
Even with his increased income,
all he is able to do is to catch up on
the deficits he has been mourning in
many past years operations. He is
finally now doing what he could not
do before-replacing WORKOUT ma
chinery and average buildings, pay
ing accumulated back taxes and mort
gage debts, and making necessary i'm
provements which he was not previ-
ously in a position to finance.
I doubt whether there are many
farmers accommodating any substan-
tial amount of ready cash. They are
still paying out nearly everything
they earn in immediate and pressing
necessities.

WHY NOT IN PEACE TINE?
Editor Askoy American:

EQ1tOr ASKOV american.
The recent report of the Mime

Northwest Business Scars to Record
Level in 1912" minneapolis Star
Journal, January 30 should provide
valuable food for thought among our
busy postwar planners.
For long time business and indi-

taxes on record in: America. This
tax money is being used to finance
the most gigantic program of destruc-
ton in all human history. Neverthe-
less, among other new records" es-
