Individualism
DeLuxe
An item in this week’s Industrial
News Review certainly hails one back
to the days of the doctrine of rugged
individualism. The item deals with
“politics down on the farm” and tells
of politicians at campaign time com
ing around with “crackpot proposals”
and promises that are seldom car
ried out and if they are, seldom work
for the good of the farmer. The
Review’ makes the outmoded state
ment: “God Helps Those Who Help
Themselves” is as applicable to farm
ing as to any other enterprise. Sure,
that phrase still holds good in many
ways and we cannot expect to loaf
and still make a living, but neither
can the farmer milk cows all day
and all night “helping themselves”
and still make a living with 26-cent
butterfat.
The Review item does, however,
have one statement of worth in the
advice and that is its advice to farm
ers to place less trust in political
panaceas and more trust in their own
efforts and their cooperative mar
keting organizations. The coopera
tive creameries in this section are
examples of what can be done by the
farmer for himself. For if it were
not for his creamery he would be
taking many cents less per pound
for his butterfat as they are out
through the Dakotas and other places
where they deal only with central
izers.
God helps those who help them
selves, all right, but when conditions
are such that the farmer cannot get
rid of the products of his toil at a
price which will give him cost of
production, how can he stay in busi
ness any more than could the In
dustrial News Review be issued if
the revenue derived therefrom did
not pay the postage?
Importance Of Voting
Monday will be primary election
day. It is the date designated by
law every two years when people of
Minnesota choose their nominees for
various offices to run for election to
those offices in the fall, or General
election. Primary elections as a rule,
attract less voters than the general
elections. That is not as it should be.
The Primary election is an impor
tant function of the operation of gov
ernment and should be guarded re
ligiously for it is the one time when
the true rank and file of the coun
try can go to the polls and express
choice on issues and candidates, with
out fear or favor, or compliance to
“boss controlled” conventions.
People, it is our right and we
should take it seriously. There should
be as large a vote at the Primary
election as there should be in the
General. Get out and vote Monday,
June 20. The polls will be open
in your voting precinct from 9 o’clock
in the morning until 8 o’clock at night.
The greatest of faults is to be
conscious of none.
A man’s true wealth is the good
he does in the world.
Keep your fears to yourself, but
share your courage with others, said
Stevenson.
Soft words sung in a lullaby will
put a babe to sleep. Excited words
will stir a mob to violence. Eloquent
words will send armies marching
into the face of death. Encouraging
words will fan to flame the genius
of a Rembrandt or a Lincoln. Pow
erful words will mold the public
mind as the sculptor molds his clay.
Words, spoken or written, are a dy
namic, creative force.
Father, will be honored in many
places throughout the nation Sunday,
June 19, on one of the very few
Fathers days that we have celebrated.
It isn’t even designated on the calen
dar nor in the almanac, but father
will be honored just the same, mother
will see to that. Father is pictured
as a strong character in the house
hold but he suffers many unknown
heartaches that his family knows
nothing about.

NEWSPAPER
HJALMAR PETERSEN AND THE
Editor Askov American:
The State Capitol crowd is attempt
ing to meet Hjalmar Petersen’s at
tack on its hook-up with Commun
ists by insinuating in various ways
that Mr. Petersen is tarred with the
same stick.
But the critical thing for us to con
sider in 1938 is that when the issue
was clearly presented and acute, Mr.
Petersen took a definite stand against
these dupes of the Russian set-up
while Mr. Benson made them brothers
in arms.
The latter, like so many who ac
quire evil companions, has found a
master too. He does not direct his
Communist allies; they put the pres
sure on him. The appearance of
Earle Browder, boss of the national
Communist clique, in the state after
the Duluth convention to put his
brand on our Governor and promote
war feeling, was not friendly to Mr.
Benson. The insolence of it and what
it implies should scare any thoughtful
citizen.
Roger Rutchick, secretary to the
Governor, is by common report the
watch dog at the capitol for ex
tremist unions of New York city
which put real money into the 1936
state campaign, and like Shylock de
mand their pound of flesh. New
Yorkers have been imported to w’ork
on the state payroll, some disguised
with Scandinavian names.
A letter over the name of a Miss
C. Murphy purporting to show Mr.
Petersen also hiring a Communist
has been widely circulated and be
low is a reply published in The Min
neapolis Journal on June 4. If this
Murphy letter was sent to you and
used, it would be only fair to use this
reply. It would also be a service
to truth to use it if the insinuations
have been circulated in your com
munity.
I withdrew from the Farmer-Labor
party in 1924 over the Communist
issue and I satisfied my own mind
on the matter before deciding to do
what I could to help Mr. Petersen.

NAILING A YARN AGAINST
PETERSEN
To the Editor of the Journal:
Some one has his stories mixed,
regarding Hjalmar Petersen’s for
mer stenographer, Lillian Schwartz.
In 1934 and in 1935 Leo Turri was
state organizer of the Young Com
munists League. Lillian Schwartz
was not even a member then. She
did not become a member until Hjal
mar Petersen became Governor to
finish out the unexpired term of Floyd
Olson.
She became a member after Carl
Ross became state organizer, succeed
ing Leo Turri. That was done as one
of the devious schemes, which were
used by the Communists to corrupt
Hjalmar Petersen, and win him over
to the side of the “Mexican generals,”
which they failed to do.
As for Mr. Petersen wanting to re
hire her when he became State Rail
road and Warehouse Commissioner,
that is a joke. That sounds as if Lil
was too highbrow to accept such
a small job as secretary to the State
Railroad and Warehouse Commis
sioner. As a matter of fact, she be
came secretary to Mrs. Seestrom at
the Hennepin County Farmer-Labor
headquarters.
Editor Askov American:
One of the amusing sidelights of
the so-called regular (sic) Farm-
Labor Janisaries is that they do not
talk the same language, for instance
A. I. Harris is overdoing himself in
telling the people of Minnesota how
wondreful conditions are here, that
business conditions are good, and that
it is simply not true that the Benson
regime has business scared to death
for fear of punitive taxes and lack
of stability in state government. To
hear him tell it we are ten times
as well off here in Minnesota as are
people of other states.
And while we are getting this
fairy tale from Harris, Benson him
self is running around the state im
paling certain Senate leaders for cut
ting his requested relief appropria
tion. According to Benson the suf
fering of the poor people of Minne
sota is a crime against humanity in
general, and our wicked Senate lead
ers should be retired to private life.
According to Harris conditions here
are exceptionally good, which of
course should mean we do not need
relief appropriations of any kind.
This suggests that the editors of the
Leader and Benson should get to
gether and talk things over. Surely
one of these parties must be wrong.
Our guess is that they are both
wrong, and that conditions are not
so good as Harris would have us be
lieve or quite so bad as Benson tells
it when he is after our Senate leaders.
Minnesota is a Liberal-minded
state. One of the encouraging things
in this era of confusion and illusion
is that we have a candidate for office
in Hjalmar Petersen who is talking
about progress along constitutional
lines. This is something we have not
heard here in Minnesota for some
COMMUNISTS
RUTH KITTOCK.
FIGHTING WINDMILLS
time. What is the use of a plat
form which can never be enacted
into law even if the party proposing
it is elected? I would define a true
Liberal as a man who works for
progress along lines that do not con
flict with the basic laws of our land,
or which do not require a constitu
tional amendment.
The people of this nation would
never pass a constitutional amend
ment changing fundamentally our
form of government. Most thinking
people realize this to be a fact. Then
why talk production for use, coop
erative commonwealth, down with
Capitalism, etc., slogans coined in
the shadow of the Kremlin. Of course
it is a safe bet that nine tenths of
the people falling for these imported
slogans could not to save their im
mortal soul give a clear definition of
what they actually mean. However
we expect the Governor of our state
to know what they mean. Benson
must know, yet he uses these slogans
in order to get votes from the lunatic
fringe. He uses them, and knows
that he hasn’t a chance in the world
of putting them into practice even if
elected. The Constitution of these
United States stands in the way.
Thinking Liberals have a right to ex
pect a little of intellectual honesty
from their leaders. Surely we are
not getting it from Benson, whereas
Hjalmar Petersen promises us in
every talk that he makes to work for
progress along constitutional lines.
In fact this might well be called his
slogan, and one that is not imported
either, all of which means that here
is a man who is going to work for
something that can actually be had,
rather than keep on fighting wind
mills. We expect if he is elected,
that he will again take the people
of Minnesota into the sunshine of
common sense.
REFLECTIONS
Editor Askov American:
Your paper as usual stimulates
the spirit, calling on the minds of
readers remarks and solutions to
subjects of vast and vital concern to
mankind—especially the rising gen
eration.
Your remarks as to Memorial spirit,
namely “let us carry on in our effort
to create a situation whereby there
shall be peace and security in the
world forever.” This is a gigantic
statement and a vital problem that
challenges the souls of civilized men
in all lands. It involves mainly an
understanding of the law—God’s law
in economics. Your paper also shows
a picture of a group of bright, in
telligent and honorable young men
and women graduates. These fine
young folks with some two million
all over the United States are anx
ious and ready to perform useful
service, helping in the creation of
wealth and establishing homes for
themselves. They know facts as to
the natural law in mathematics,
chemistry, gravity, etc., but, very
little instruction did they get in the
natural law of economics—the law
of production and distribution, the
cause and cure of poverty, justice in
governmental budgeting, the import
ance of a statute law opening up
opportunities, setting this good old
earth free, securing to all generations
an equitable chance to carry on and
produce, without as now (in effect)
having to pay for a chance to work—
because of our depressing and obso
lete land and tax laws.
Taxation is legalized robbery and
carried on far enough will break any
country—but this need not be where
people have a vision. Young people
are a part of population, and benefits
of government service is what gives
rental value to locations. This is an
honest and just community earned
value, and people awake to their
rights will demand statute law to
the effect it be collected into the
public treasury and all taxes on labor
products abolished.
I hope among your graduates there
are some that might call on your
venerable citizen, Ludvig Mosbaek,
and hear from first class authority
the importance to them and America,
of a statute law securing people in
their God-given rights to “life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Facts, facts, facts is what we want
to be able to free our country from
the cause of poverty and the crime
of war.
Fairhope, Ala.
ISSUE NEW CURRENCY
Editor Askov American:
I wrote the following letter as an
answer to a letter received from S.
O. Sanderson, but then I made up
my mind that I would like to have
some more people read it, so I would
like to have it published in your
paper.
Mr. S. O. Sanderson: I am pleased
by having your O. K. to my article,
“Abolish Profit System.” Yes, I am
with you in the opposition to the
issuing of tax exempt bonds; in fact
I am opposed to issuing of any and
all kinds of United States bonds.
The money the government gets for
the bonds is only notes that the
United States has issued and prom
ised to pay. Why can’t the govern
ment as well issue more notes of
the same kind instead of borrowing
those already issued and paying in
terest on them?
The currency in use now instead
of money is nothing but repudiated
United States debts. It is issued as
bills of indebtedness, then the
government made it a crime to keep
that coin in possession which we
are entitled to have the currency re-

The “best story” of the present
political campaign originated in Co
kato last week. And unlike many
political campaign stories that cir
culate, this one is based on fact.
It all started with the scheduled
appearance of Governor Benson on
the program of the Finnish Dela
ware festival at Cokato. The Gov
ernor, as a member of the state Dela
ware committee was invited to give
a non-political speech and dedicate
the Delaware memorial in the local
park.
The Governor did appear, and
gave a talk that was reasonably free
from politics; however this story
really doesn’t concern the Governor’s
speech, but more of what is generally
called the “machine.”
The Cokato committee had pre
pared posters for the event and had
them well circulated when suddenly
a new batch of posters made their
appearance. The local committee
was baffled, since they had not or
dered these new posters—posters they
considered out of harmony with the
spirit of the occasion. “Hear Gover
nor Benson at Cokato, 3:30 p. m.”
said the poster in glaring type. Little
mention was made of the purpose of
the gathering, which actually started
at 12 noon.
The distributors of the new poster
learned that the poster had met with
deemed with. That currency is cir
culating as money without objection
from the people. That is a proof
that money can be made of paper
without being redeemable with coin,
as the repudiated .bills is the only
money we are allowed to have now.
The government can issue some
better curency by leaving out that it
“will be paid in coin to bearer” when
it is not so, and put on it only,
“This certificate is a legal tender for
all debts, public and private.” Com
mon sense will tell us that when
repudiated bills by law can be made
a dependable legal tender, then there
is no need of having gold or silver
to secure it; it is not secured now
unless it is for a special class or
selected people. I have been thinking
that it is for our capitalists to do
business with in foreign countries.
Money is only a medium of ex
change, instead of exchanging goods
for goods, and as long as that na
tion which issued it takes it back
at its face value for goods, then it is
good in foreign countries and at
home as long as the government re
cognizes it; but if it is issued as a
bill of indebtedness and the maker
of it refuses or can not pay it, then it
is the same with that as with a per
sonal note; in such a case it is no
good.
Many countries have issued such
paper money that was no good; and
the oppositionists of legal tender cur
rency use this in arguments against
good sound currency and most of the
people can not understand the differ
ence.

Editor Askov American:
I notice Carl Ryan, the candidate
who has twice filed for Congress in
the Sixth district on the Farmer-
Labor ticket against the candidate
endorsed by the Sixth district con
vention, is putting on a very ex
pensive campaign. Now I wonder
who is financing his campaign.
I believe he states that he spent
several thousand dollars in the cam
paign two years ago. Whose money
was it he spent? Whose money is
he spending again this year?
Pine county is not contributing to
his campaign fund, nor do I believe
the other 14 counties can furnish this
vast amount. Who, then do you, Mr.
and Mrs. Voter, think Mr. Ryan will
represent, if he should go to Congress?
He states he has the endorsement
of leading Farmer-Laborites. Pine
county, a leading county in the Farm
er-Labor movement, did not endorse
him though he requested it long be
fore the district convention.
EMIL KNIPS.
Pine county has never heard Mr.
Ryan speak at any of their mass
meetings or club meetings so far as
I know. Why? He has had several
invitations.
The Farmer-Labor party will grow
powerful when the voters organize
and put in their places self-seekers
of this type, so let us give our sup
port in the primary election to
Harry W. Christenson who received
the district endorsement because of
his past record in the Legislature and
because he was not seeking to put
himself forward.

disapproval, and apparently wishing
to displease no one, they issued an
order to pick up the posters and re
place them with new ones that would
meet approval.
It was when the distributors
returned to Cokato to pick up
the posters, that the source was
learned.
The man who distributed and col
lected them in Cokato was an em
ploye of the state highway depart
ment. He voluntarily contributed the
information that nine highway main
tenance men had distributed the post
ers in Wright and adjoining counties.
“I have traveled more than
140 miles hanging them up and
taking them down,” said the
highway maintenance man who
visited Cokato, “and I am not
through yet When I get back I
will have to go out and hang up
the new ones now being printed,”
he added.
The posters had been ordered by
Farmer-Labor association officers and
turned over to the nine highway em
ployes for distribution.
“I could just as well have put
up candidates’ cards at the same
time,” said the state employe,
“but we didn’t have any cards on
hand.”
The most humorous part of the
whole story was his chagrin when he
learned he had been telling his story
to a Wright county newspaper man.
Hurrying back he added:
“What I have been telling you
is just between us. We don’t want
anything about this in the
papers.”
Perhaps we are a bit old fashioned,
but we had always thought that
highway maintenance men were paid
to maintain the highways.
A NATION OF OLDER PEOPLE
The following was written by
one Cliff Blanchard for the Min
neapolis Tribune and it is re-
printed herewith:
One of the most educational news
paper features of today is the series
of “Telefacts” now appearing in The
Tribune. These “picturized statistics”
enable the reader to comprehend, at
a glance, facts which otherwise would
require a great deal of reading and
study.
The Telefact for today (May 12)
shows clearly the change in the age
composition of our population. As a
matter of fact, we are becoming a
nation of older people.
A great deal has been written on
this subject of population trends, but
little has appeared so far in either
the daily press, or the popular maga
zines. The May issue of Harper’s
magazine, however, carries an article
by Henry Pratt Fairchild entitled
“When Population Levels Off.” It
will be of particular interest to anyone
who desires to understand one of the
basic causes of our present economic
condition.
Not only are we becoming a na
tion of older people, as today’s Tele
fact so clearly indicates, but we are
rapidly approaching a stationary pop
ulation. We shall continue to grow
in numbers for a few years more. In
about two more decades we shall have
reached a peak, variously estimated
at between 135,000,000 and 150.000,-
000.
The birth rate is decreasing, hav
ing dropped 25 percent in the decade,
1925-1935. Furthermore, the propor
tion of older people to younger has
been increasing. This will have pro
found effects upon our social and
economic life as its full importance
begins to be felt. Thus, our school
plant, for example, will be greatly
overexpanded. Instead of talking
about building new schools, in a cou
ple of decades we shall probably be
compelled to close many of them—
particularly the grammar schools—
or convert the buildings to some other
use.
Discussing this strange phenomenon
of an aging population, the New York
Times said some time ago, “that life
in an elderly America will have fewer
75-mile-an-h our automobiles and
night clubs, but will have its excite
ments, too. The curious thing today
is that it is the young who drill and
goosestep and salute and demand to
be co-ordinated and collectivized and
deprived of freedom of thought and
action, all for the sake of being made
secure. And it is the oldsters who
hold out for individualism and self
reliance, with attendant risks.”

I Would Say
By A. W. CONAWAY
I wonder what Arthur N. Jacobs
of the State News, and one of the
“Mexican Generals” will use for a
streamer headline after Monday, June
20. For the past few issues he has
had something about Benson as being
an easy winner at the primaries. His
last issue contained the streamer,
“Benson Nomination in F.-L. Primary
Assured.” You know Art, in making
such a statement, is about like the
little boy, who whistles when he goes
by a graveyard.
Folks, I was in Minneapolis Thurs
day and in driving along I came to
an intersection which was being
crossed by a man who seemed per
fectly oblivious to his surroundings;
or at least he must have been for
he was walking right against the red
light. Of course like a lot of others
who are caught in a predicament, he
began to go backward and forward
until I took pity on the poor cuss
and went by him. When I passed
he said words which sounded con
siderably like he was praying only he
didn’t use that tone of voice. Well,
you know when a fellow walks into
traffic as that fellow did, he should
be able to know who to call on in
case of danger. Of course I didn’t
come anyways near him, but that
wasn’t his fault. You find at least one
like him in every community.
When are we going to do some
thing about snowplowing? You know
it isn’t snowing now but you can’t
do anything about it after the roads
are all “plugged.” You know this
business of snowplowing is just like
a board meeting, one has to talk a
lot to get anything done. Did you
ever fix a well in the winter time and
on the coldest day of the year? Well,
I have and that’s the time the darned
thing always breaks. It would be
much nicer to fix the well in the
summer, but it doesn’t need it then.
We can, however, get a snowplowing
system started in the summer time.
You know when a roof leaks, we
neglect to fix it when it isn’t rain
ing, for it does not leak then, and
when it is raining we can’t fix it.

out and expend your injury shooting
at little stones or take a mirror and

nuisance, if you will but look into
the mirror while you are at it.
You know folks, as we have said
before and as perhaps every news
paper in the state has said, you cannot
split your ballot next Monday at the
primary election. If you are going
to vote for Hjalmar Petersen, and
I am sure many of you have just that
in mind, then you will have to stay
in his column. I know it may be hard
for some of you to do, but that’s what
has to be done if you want your ballot
to count. Many, many voters who have
never voted the Farmer-Labor ticket
before, are going to the polls and just
mark a cross after the name of Hjal
mar Petersen and then go home and
“slop the pigs.”
Just to vote for one man on the
Consolidated ballot and then fold it
up and call it a day is going to be
pretty hard for some to do but they
are going to do it. You know, the
situation will resemble the fishing
trip which I once went on. After I had
caught an eight pounder, I folded
up my pole, wound up my line and
went home. What was the differ
ence? I had a fish which was equal
to some strings of three or four.
That’s the way your “x” mark for
Petersen will be this year—equal to
three or four, say Republican and
Democratic admirers of Hjalmar.
You know, women come in handy
whether you men who insist on com
ing home late at night will admit
it or not. Hasn’t Mrs. Roosevelt given
great help on the stump to her hus
band in his battle agamst the de
pression? Now Mme. Chiang Kai
shek, American educated wife of
China’s generalissimo, has taken to
the printed pages to aid her husband
and her country in their fight with
Japan. She places in no uncertain
language, her indictment on unde
clared war and offers her thoughts
toward an international law against
such.
Folks, with civilization, nations
have degraded to the extent that they
now wage war on women and chil
dren, just the same as “big bullies”
take candy from the baby in the
cradle.
