PERPLEXED
Yes. they are perplexed. One. Re
publican newspaper tries to make out
that Governor Olson is on vacation
much of the time and that his chief
occupation is that of drawing salary,
and another paper of the same po
litical faith gives him credit for doing
practically all the tiring and hiring
of state employes, which in itself,
•with no other duties, would be a man
sized job. That the Farmer-Labor
party—representing the masses —
should have as its leader a man who
is shrewd enough to cut-general all
the old timers is beyond their com
prehension. The conservative and re
actionary men are supposed to be the
boys with the real brains, and here
comes a young political party—only
in existence a dozen years—with a
leader that keeps them all guessing.
It's a conundrum. It's got them gues
sing. And they can’t understand that
so much brains can be employed in
behalf of the masses when bigger
salaries are waiting.
The man was born and raised with
the masses, it is part of his make-up.
it is in his system.
But it was the perplexity we were
talking ab'*ut. Good standard Repub
lican newspapers are contradicting
one another when they come to dis
cuss the governor.
Under the caption of “Minnesota’s
Governors” the Northfield News writes:
MINNESOTA’S GOVERNORS
“In one respect we are in Will
Rogers' class. All we know is what
we read in the papers. A St. Paul
daily carries a news item to the ef
fect that Governor Floyd B. Olson left
this week for Chicago to address some
Italian affair and from there would
proceed to Cleveland to address a con
vention of Eagles. And here we were
reading last week that he got back
to his office at the capitol following
a vacation. And the week before was
spent recuperating at Gull lake from
an operation that necessitated a two
weeks’ stay in a Minneapolis hospital.
“We take off our hat to a man who
can govern as well as Minnesota's
Farmer-LABOR governor does while
spending so little time at his desk.
“At the same time, here's a salute
to Minnesota’s real governors—Pri
vate Secretary Vince Day and Messen
ger Indispensable Billy Williams. Al
so a hand of sympathy to these of
ficials who must face the job hunters
and the critics while the absentee
chief draws the governor's salary
checks.’’
The Minnesota Voice, Republican
organ, published down in Slayton and
“whose only master is the truth,” as
they so loudly p:ocla ! m, makes out that
the governor is a real busy man if
ever there was a busy man. They
analyze it thus:
THE ONE-MAN BAND
“Times have changed in Minnesota
since the Farmer-Labor party first ap
peared on the state ballot. In those
days a group of people set out to or
ganize a party which would represent
their political beliefs. While there
may be disagreement as to the po
litical program they adopted, few will
charge that they were insincere or
opportunists seeking office.
“Today times have changed. The
Farmer-Labor party is a misnomor.
It is no longer a party. It is a one
man band named Floyd B. Olson.
That statement gives credit to the
organizing ability and the political
acumen of one of the shrewdest oppor
tunists who ever sat in the governor’s
chair. But it does not reflect so well
on the Farmer-Labor party.
“More and more the remark is
dropped, and by people considered
loyal Farmer-Laborites, ‘don’t get me
wrong. I’m no Farmer-Laborite, I’m
for Floyd.’
“Every state department of impor
tance is run, not by its titular head,
but by Floyd B. Olson. Patronage
is distributed by Floyd, not by the
party. Occasionally some small fry
may be discharged without the gover
nor’s knowledge, but no person of any
importance has been discharged or
.hired without Floyd's consent. He
has sought to dictate the policies of
the Minnesota and St. Paul Farmer-
Labor groups, and in Minneapolis
nearly wrecked his own machine. He
will be more careful in St. Paul next
March.
“By his charming personality and
glib tongue, Governor Olson has made
himself the most powerful politician
in the state. There is no use trying
to deny the fact that unless the un
foreseen happens, Governor Olson will
keep the Farmer-Labor party in the
clover, and in return he can do with
the party as he wishes.
“History, however, repeats itself
with almost monotonous regularity,
and its pages are filled with the data
concerning hundreds of one-man bands
who suddenly have found themselves
stripped of power, glory and influence,
left with only a hazy memory of the
grand old days.
“Governor Olson cannot maintain
his present pace forever. Each year
he exposes the real motives behind
Farmer-Labor machinations to more
and more people. Others have found
that promises butter no bread. De
partmental irregularities become com
mon gossip. In addition, the gover
nor’s vitality is not what it was four
years ago. He is reported as being in
ill health.
“Farmer-Laborites are beginning to
ask themselves what the Farmer-
Labor party stands for today. Others
of a more practical turn of mind, who
do not care what its political plat
form may be as long as they hold on
to their state jobs, are admitting that
when Governor Olson steps out of the
picture, the Farmer-Labor party will
go the way of such other political
hybreds as the Populist movement.
“This, perhaps is one of the most
important arguments presented to
Governor Olson to prevail upon him
not to be a candidate against Senator
Shipstead. With Governor Olson out
of the gubernatorial race, the Fanner-
Labor party has no other eligible can
didate to put forth. Congressmen
Lundeen and Magnus Johnson, Lieu
tenant Governor Solberg, of course,
but they have not got the magnetic
platf< rm personality of the suavest
orator in Minnesota for many a year.
“With all these facts becoming more
and more evident every day, there is
reason to believe that many who have
become Farmer-Labor converts will
drift away from the party. The Dem
ocrats see hopes of capturing the bal
ance of power in their favor. Thus
far Republicans have been adamant. ’
FREE EXPRESSION HERE
Some times we hear folks talk about
their cause—their talks or writings
—getting no space in the metropoli
tan press—the socalled conservative
press. Every cause of any impor
tance has a press of its own and we
wonder if there is as much grounds
for complaint as some of the up
starters would have folks believe. If
an organization or individual really
does anything it is usually recorded,
but it is easy to whine and cry for
sympathy.
Those in America who may think
that they are entitled to the front
page more often and who would run
the press much better if they were
at the helm, should think of how
they do things now-a-days over in
Germany.
An editorial in the Duluth Herald
last Saturday entitled “Danger of Hit
lerism” tells how the German gov
ernment treats the press, the radio
and the news screen. It should tend
to remind us that we still have a
free press in America even though
some folks may think they should
have more publicity.
The Herald editorial follows:
DANGER OF HITLERISM
“Grove Patterson, experienced and
able journalist, who was commis
sioned by the Duluth Herald to go to
Germany to make a first-hand inves
tigation of conditions there, not only
confirms the reports of terrorism
over all minorities, but also explains
why all Europe is justified in its
alarm over the significance of Hit
lerism.
“Mr. Patterson asserts that the per
secution of Nazi opponents is really
worse than the censored accounts
have shown. They have obliterated,
first by treachery, the National party
of industrialists which helped them
attain power, then they have exter
minated by force all other parties
and labor organizations whose ideas
of government differed, and finally
they have eliminated through state
control even the potential resistance
of church organizations which resent
the Nazi debasement of religious
teachings for party purposes. Any
opposition means imprisonment or
death without trial.
“German newspapers can only pub
lish such news as is .handed to them
by Hitler’s man Goebbels. Radio
talks and screen news are directed in
the same manner by this “minister
of propaganda.” More than two hun
dred foreign newspapers which have
printed the truth about Hitlerism are
not permitted to circulate in the coun
try. Mail i-s opened and censored.
In no way are the German people per
mitted to learn the truth about actual
existent conditions in their country.
“At this very moment England,
France, and Italy are considering
jioint action in warning Germany of a
violation of international law through
the Nazi aerial demonstrati' nss across
the Austrian frontier. Continued dem
onstrations of this sort can only re
sult in another European war.
“How long Nazi-ism can last no one
knows. That it may end without
greater suffering than Germany has
already endured is the hope of civi
lized mankind: but until it is ended,
all the world is justified in dealing
cautiously with a government which
is led by such dangerous characters
as the Hitlers, the Goebbels, the
Goerings, and their kind.”
MANY IN THE MAKE-UP
It is important that any business,
institution of learning, athletic associ
ation. or any organization for that
matter, has an able head. And so it
is in politics. Leaders are necessary
but there must also be good helpers,
co-operators and workers in the or
ganization or it will fail. The leader
can not do it alone. He has the ex
ecutive ability and. knows how and
when to make important decisions or
he would not be a leader.
Old guarders in the state give Gov
ernor Olson credit for being a man of
exceptional ability and leadership, in
fact they would like to make it appear
that if he should withdraw' or be re
moved from the political picture of
the state there would be no Farmer-
Labor party. It is true that the Farm
er-Labor party would suffer from the
loss of Governor Olson if such should
occur but there are other leaders al
so, and there are many workers and
co-operators in the ranks or there
•would not lie such resolutions and
platforms adopted at the biennial con
ventions.
It is important that the titular head
of a political party.is a man of vision,
a courageous man, and a man of
ability as above mentioned, but with
out the many co-operQtors he could
not accomplish much under a demo
cratic form of government. To inti
mate that the Farmer-Labor party
would be lost in the wilderness with
out Governor Olson is only propa
ganda on the part of the old guarders
to discredit the party. However, there
is no desire on our part to underesti
mate the ability of the governor, for
w’e realize the necessity of having a
man of his character and ability in
the governor’s chair and as head of a
political party that represents the
public welfare.
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
With improved labor saving ma
chinery making steady advances, in
fact for years way ahead of those who
should arrange for an orderly co-ordi
nation of hours of employment be
tween labor and industry, it is to be
appreciated that the federal govern
ment has now' taken hold of things
through the National Industrial Re
covery Act. Hours of employment are
to be cut, varying in the different
industries, and codes are being drawn
up by the various industries, all un
der the direction of General Hugh S.
Johnson, the man President Roosevelt
chose to help solve the unemployment
problem.
Years ago men worked, 12 hours a
day in factories, that was cut to 11
hours, then 10, later nine hours and
for some years the eight hour day has
been the standard, some industries
making it a 44 hour week with Satur
day afternoons off. In spite of short
ening the work week more than
enough manufactured articles have
been produced for the needs of the
country due to the advent of the
labor saving machine. In fact each
: worker has produced so much more
than .his predecessor of 25 to 30 years
ago that millions of his fellow work
ers have been thrown out of employ
ment.
The object of the government is to
solve this unemployment problem and
there can be no gainsaying that short
ening the hours of work and dividing
the work amongst more men will help.
It is a common sense program and the
industrial administrator, General
Johnson, should have the co-operation
of all citizens in his gigantic task.
WHERE IS HE!
State political writers of the old
guard type in the daily newspapers
and elsewhere are having a hard time
trying to figure out who to trot out
against Governor Olson in the next
campaign, as they seem to have it
figured out that he will most likely
be a candidate for a third term.
One writer puts it this way:
“Wanted —A Republican candidate
for governor: must be fairly young,
full of ambition and enthusiasm, a
good stump speaker, not too closely
identified with the ‘old guard,’ prefer
ably a service man and of Scandi
navian extraction.”
Martin Nelson of Albert Lea, has
been mentioned as a candidate for
governor on the Republican ticket,
and now the names of such men as
Editor Herman Roe of Northfield, and
former State Senator John Hougen of
Crookston, are being put out as feel
ers. The old guarders of course real
ize that they must have a candidate
with more platform ability than Earle
Brown who was the candidate in 1932.
It is some task to find a man who has
any chance against Governor Olson,
and it makes all those fellows who
would like to have state appointments
feel bad.
THE HERALD’S NEW EDITOR
It is with pleasure we note that
Russell C. Henry has been elevated
to the position of editor of the Duluth
Herald, the responsible position held
for a quarter of a century by the late
Stillman Bingham.
Mr. Henry has been connected with
the Herald in the editorial rooms for
many years and the promotion to the
chief editorship is well earned and
deserved. He is a man of ability,
calm judgment, and enjoys laboring
for the common good. Besides his
good newspaper qualifications he is a
gentleman and a good man to number
with one’s friends. Success to you,
Mr. Henry, at the helm of Duluth’s
daily newspaper.

ASKOV AMERICAN, ASKOV, MINNESOTA
FOR THE NRA PROGRAM
WITH A VENGEANCE
In no uncertain words Governor Ol
son said at Cleveland, Ohio, the other
day that “the NRA plan is an at
tempt to bring about a more equitable
distribution of profit through regula
tion of our capitalistic system. No
class ever gave up before. I sincerely
hope this will be the first time it oc
curs.”
“Minnesota will not permit a vio
lator of the president’s code even to
bid on a state project,” continued the
governor. “They don’t deserve busi
ness and they won’t get it from us.
“This is the finest attempt ever
made to make the capitalistic system
decent. The federal government and
every state and municipal government
should follow the example of Minne
sota and boycott every industry or en
terprise that does not lend its support
100 per cent."

MULTIPLYING
(Henderson Independent)
Road houses are springing up like
mushrooms all over this section. It
is high time to call a halt to the
granting of licenses by counties. We
are informed that slot machines are
being operated ‘‘wide-open’ at many
so-called chicken shacks which is di
rectly against the state law. Besides
this these places are operating day
and all night. Something must be
done to control these nuisances.
THOSE STATEMENTS
(Mille Lacs County Times)
When a business man receives a
statement from a wholesale house —
and he receives many—he sometimes
finds on the statement that unless
paid by a certain date a sight draft
will lie drawn for the amount due, and
no excuses are offered for sending the
statement. The business man has to
move about and pay up his bill. But
when the business man sends state
ments to those owing him in an ef
fort to raise money to pay his bills,
what takes place many times? The
person receiving the statement takes
it as an insult and grows exceedingly
hostile. The person who does this
should engage in business and in a
short time he would get over that fool
ishness. The sending out of state
ments and collecting of accounts is
one of the most important parts of
business and those who neglect it will
sooner or later become in bad finan
cial shape. The first thing that a
credit agency requires in a credit
rating for any person in business is
whether he is energetic in pushing
his collections or not. If he is care
less and does not bill those who owe
him promptly his credit rating will
drop, and his standing lessened with
his creditors.

TOO MUCH GOSSIP
Editor Askov American:
We are having the novel experience
here of outside parties spreading false
and misleading propaganda, detri
mental to our local school, insinuat
ing that our school will be closed this
fall.
We have in the past had our com
munity belittled and our enterprises
knocked by various parties, both in
side and outside our community, but
have kind of gotten used to it, con
sidering it as part of the general
peskiness of human nature, and as
natural pests like mosquitos and rats,
but when people outside of our school
district begin to horn in on our local
school affairs, we believe it is time
to rise up on our hind feet and strike
back. We would naturally think that
of all public affairs, the business of
running the local schools should be
left entirely to the people in the dis
trict, without interference by out
siders.
District No. 18, like so many other
school districts in this and other
states, has suffered from the falling
off of revenues and the shrinking
of valuation, but our school board is
doing their best to cut the expendi
tures to correspond with the revenues,
a fact which some of the malcon
tents in the district ignore, but which
the taxpayers of the district ought to
appreciate. Let it be known there
fore, that the Duquette school will
open in due time, with a first class
teacher in charge, that transporta
tion will be furnished to those who
are entitled to it, and that if the

TO VISIT PAGE PEAT
EXPERIMENTAL FIELD
Grasses for Peat Soils in Mi lie Lacs
Kanabec and Pine Counties, Will
be Discussed Aug. 18.
Reed canary grass, the new hay
and pasture crop for peat soil, will be
the main feature to be discussed at
the Page peat experimental th Id on
Aug. 19, under auspices of the Divi
sion of Soils, University of Minnesota.
This grass was first seeded at Page in
1927 and many plots have been seeded
every year since. It can be propa
gated either by seeding or transplant
ing. After the tour of the plots
clumps of the grass will be given to
all visitors who wish to try it.
The field is located a quarter of a
mile west of Highway No. 18 and ten
miles north of Milaca.
The peat on tiiis experimental field
represents the most difficult and ex
pensive type to make productive, as
on it all crops fail unless lime or
marl is applied and in addition phos
phate and potash mud be used to se
cure satisfactory yields.
Peatland farmers should remember
the danger of frosts, floods, fires, and
the need of fertilizers. Frosts and
floods may damage many crops on
peat, fires may damage all and on
almost every peat bog no satisfactory
crop can be grown without proper fer
tilization.
The program whiefh begins at 2 p.
m„ Saturday, Aug. 19, will embody the
following: 1. Reed canary grass on
peat soils. 2. Other crops on peat

HIGHWAY REVENUES
DECREASE $3,883,000
New Trunk Routes Added by Legisla
ture Not Yet Taken Over by State
for Want of Funds.
Revenues of the State Highway De
partment from automobile license
fees so far this year total $5,896,000
compared with $9,779,000 in the same
period of 1932, according to a bulle
tin from the department.
This is a drop of $3,883,000 in the
first seven months of 1933. The de
crease is due to the reductions in
license fees made by the last legisla
ture.
Last year, at the end of July, 97
per cent of the 1932 license revenues
had been collected. This year, 95 per
cent of the estimated revenues for
1933 have been received. The license
fee collections last year totalled $lO,-
055,000, while the estimated total this
year is $6,200,000. Present indica
tions are that this estimate may
prove somewhat higher than actual
receipts.
“From some points in the state
have come inquiries as to why the
Highway Department is not as active
in maintaining certain roads as it
has been in the past,’’ said N. W.
Elsberg, highway commissioner.
“The decrease in revenues is the
answer. This decrease is also the
reason why the department has not
yet taken over the 4,600 miles of new
routes added to the trunk system by
the last legislature. With reduced
revenues, the highway department
naturally must reduce its activities
and expenditures.’’

MINNESOTA FARMERS
GRANTED $518,000 IN
LOANS DURING JULY
Federal Land Bank Funds Show A
Gain in $171,000 Over the
Month of June.
St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 9 —Minnesota
farmers were granted $518,000 in
loans through the Federal Land Bank
of St. Paul, during the month of July,
figures compiled for the period indi-
cate. This is an increase of $171,000
over the amount allowed in June, and
shows the way in which an increase
in the number of appraisers is help
ing to make the funds available.
For the month, Minnesota leads the
four states in number of loans
granted and in the total volume of
credit, the figures for the Seventh
Land Bank District being as follows:
Minnesota, 113 loans for $518,000;
North Dakota, 47 loans, $159,000: Wis
consin, 85 loans, $328,000; Michigan
91 loans. $75.000: total, 276 loans for
a total of $1,080,000.
.Michigan’s smaller quota is due to
the shortage of appraisers in that
state, as Minnesota’s and Wisconsin’s
greater portion is due to the larger
force of appraisers in those states.
The increase in appraisal forces was
started by the Farm Credit Admin
istration in Wisconsin to help open
the closed and restricted banks in
that state; and in addition to the reg
ular loans listed above, there were
granted 135 applications of mort
gagors whose paper is held in closed
or restricted banks of Wisconsin for
lan additional sum of $406,000. This
makes a total for Wisconsin of 220
borrowers, who have had loans
granted totaling $734,000.
It is expected that the month of
August will show a big increase in
the number of loans granted and the
