Some of the Rules Which They Have Adoped in Their Scheme of Gov-

MOSCOW. Nov. 6-"He who does not work does not eat" is the chief motto of the Soviet republic em- bodied in the constitution approved by the fifth All-Russian Soviet Con gress and just printed and put into general circulation.
 The right of holding office and voting for officials is confined ex- clusively to men and women over eighteen obtaining their livelihood by productive and publicly beneficial labor, as well as those persons en- gagged in domestic economy which af- lords to the former the possibility of productive labor. For example workmen and employees of all cate gories, engaged in industry, trade agriculture, etc, peasants and cos sock farmers who do not engage hired labor for profit"
 Soldiers of the Soviet army and navy and citizens who have been workmen or soldiers but are incapac- itated are also permitted to enjoy franchise. Foreigners residing in Russia who fall within the Soviet's definition of workmen and soldiers are also granted the ballot.
 The right of franchise is specifical- ly denied to all persons, regardless of whether they fall within the category of workmen and soldiers, if they hire labor for profit. live on unearned in- come. such as interest from capital or income from property or enter prise. Monks and clergymen are al so denied the right of franchise, to- gether with officials and agents of the former police, members Of the former reigning house, insane per sons and convicts.
 Absolute prevention of the exploit ation of one man by another in the chief avowed purpose of the Soviet constitution Consequently it abol- ishes all class distinctions, confis- cates all real estate. including that of the church, nationalizes all woods, minerals, waterways and live stock and authorizes labor control of all industries, such as mills, mines and railways for the purpose of 'insuring the authority of the working people over the exploters."
