There has been 30 much discuss
sion OF the Russian Soviet system
OF Government and so little real
information available as to just wha,
the system In and how it works. that
" will be useful to all OF us to have
some definite Information about 1t, and
an opportunity TO compare 1t with our
own government. Representative Bur.
ton French OF Idaho has made very
careful study OF the Soviet Constitu-
tion,. and has written pamphlet
called ''Soyict VS.. American Govern
ment." which contains some very in
teresting information. IL any of our
readers want TO read the whole PAM
phlct. Is can be obtained from the
Chamber Of Commerce OF the United
States, Washington, ID. Z.
The word Soviet means merely a
councIl-a legislative or deliberative
body. IL might just as well be called
a council a congress or a parliament.
In Russia there are several different
soviets, the local rural, the district
rural. the village. the county, the pro-
vincial, the regional, and the All-Rus-
sian Congress of Soviets. These So
viets correspond generally to deliber-
alive bodies OF our precincts. towns,
counties. states, and nations. But there
is a great difference between their
government and our, in the way
these bodies are elected.
In the United States the citizens
vote for representatives in all its leg
islative bodies, the city, precinct, ana
township organizations. the County
Commissioners. the State Legislatures,
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives and in effect for the President.
But In Russia, the citizens vote only
for representatives in their local So
Wet, and they vote by trades .electins
members of the particular trade to
which they belong. This local soviet
in the cities and towns is called the
urban soviet. while in the country is
is called the rural local soviet.

In Russia the farmers have less to
say about the government than the
citizens in the towns. for while those
in towns vote for urban soviets who
vote directly for members of the pro-
yincial soviet, the farmers ote for
members of the local rural soviet, who

which buildings are being erected in
Pittsburgh. according to figures COM

ton covering the three important
months of the building season-May.

High wages, permitting the pur-
chase of automobiles by workers is
given as the cause of the enormous
increase in garage construction while
the high cost of building is assigned as
the reason why more people are not
building their homes.
Recent wage scales signed by con-
tractors and the building trades gives

MULBERRY TREE FALLS
AFTER 14O YEARS

LONDON.--A famous old mulberry
tree i'm North London, under which
144 years ago it is said the American
Declaration of Independence was
first read in this country. has fallen
under the weight OF its age. Ameri-
can boy scouts attending the inter-
national scout conference here visited
the tree only few days before it
crashed and its history was told TO
900 of them, who had their photo
graphs taken beneath its branches.
The tree stood on one of the lawns
of the Miidmay Conference Hall. |
Many religious leaders have address
ed meetings under its ample shade.
Hundreds of requests for chips from
the historical tree are being received.

5. The system raises class agains;

craft groups instead of on the basis
of thought units.
8. The system is pyramidal and

This soviet system is obviously un-
Just, unfair and discriminates against
large parts of the population: and the
average workers themselves in whose
interests it was presumably estab-
lished. have very little, if any. real say
in the government, AS a matter Of
fact, it has already proved itself to be
so autocratic and arbitrary that the
only government with which it can
reasonably be compared for tyranny,
is the government of the Russian
Car. khich it has displaced.

The Whole Secret Of
A Better Tire
Simply a Matter of the Makers Policies

This you will realize once you
try Brunswick-that a super-tire
is possible only when the rame
certihes that the maker is follow
ing the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly mat
ter OF standards and policies-cost
plus care. Any maker can build a
good tire if he cares to pay per-
fection's price.
All men know Brunswick stand
ards, for Brunswick products have
been famous for ~ years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost. Reinforce
ments, plies and thickness are a
matter of expense. And these vari-,
atoms affect endurance. It rests
with the maker how far he wishes
10 go-how much he can afford
70 give.
For there are no secrets nor pat
ents to hold one back.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1920-09-25

To ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some zoo tires-as our laboratories
have done.
Then it is a matter Of combining
the best features and building ac-
cording to the highest standards.
Once you try Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless of factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other ike-type tires. Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nationwide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruns-
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll
agree, gives so much for your
money.

Albion Academy.

Mr.. J. A. Jensen, who has been the
representative of the Norwegian Luth-
eran Synod which assumed control of
the HI. A. Preus Lutheran Academy
corporation in 1917, has received let
ter from L. M. Larson, FairDault, Min
nesota, with reference to the offer that
the Wisconsin State Association of the
Deaf has made to buy the Albion Acad-
envy property. While the information
given in this letter is rather lacking in
definiteness in several points that would
be of interest for this community to
know, it bears out the fact that the
Wisconsin State Association of the
Deaf, which met at Delavan some
time ago, has decided to buy the Albion
property. We quote from Mr.. Lar
sons letter: ''The Wisconsin State
Association of the Deaf will purchase
the property of the former academy at
Albion, Wisconsin, and use it as
home for the aged, infirm and crippled
mutes of the state of Wisconsin. A
committee has been appointed to take
steps for soliciting money from the
deaf people in Wisconsin for the pur-
chase price. The committee will ex-
pect to be ready to pay money in cash
for the price of the property by the
sfrst day in January next" According
to this information the academy will
be used as a home for deaf who are
aged or crippled, not as school. No
information has reached Mr.. Jensen as
to the progress of the sale.

Edgerton 6, Waterloo 5.

A game of Base Ball that keeps
the audience in the air guessing
which is the best team like the one
Sunday last forms a pleasurable
memory throughout the whole season.
Waterloo was not kept after school
in order to show her that Edgerton
was the boss, but it kept the home
team humping all the time, and it
was not until just before dismissal
that Waterloo decided that Edgerton
was it, and she went home wonder
ing how it all happened.
The score board shows the lead
taken by Edgerton in the first brack-
ct gradually wiped out by Waterloo
getting two in the third, two in the
fifth, and one in the sixth. There
she held a lead of one score, until
Edgerton's wonderful rally in the
ninth where two good ones settled
the incident, and Rasmussen adjudg-
ed the home team victors. Doering
for Waterloo pitched a good game
striking out s and allowing IA hits
to the home boys. Slime struck out 5
and allowed the visitors 10 hits.
The score by innings and line up
of the team follows:

Don't do it! is the advice of the state
industrial commission concerning the
following vicious advice offered by con-
Germs having things to sell:
''Put two gallons of gasoline and two
ounces of solvite soap in a wash boiler
or dishpan and do your dry cleaning at
home," is the deadly advice of the
manufacturers of solvite, a gasoline
soap.
''Put three quarts of gasoline in a
deep pail with heaping teaspoohful
of borax. Put mop in and soak over
night. In morning wash mop with
gasoline until clean, then rinse in one
quart of clean gasoline, let dry" is
the equally dangerous advice of another
on cleaning mops.
dissolve bar of good white soap
in quart of hot water, add one pint
of gasoline and one teaspoonful of am
monia. Mix thoroughly. Scrub small
area of rug with stiff brush dipped in
this paste Scrape up lather with
broad putty knife and wipe with damp
cloth. is the vicious advice of third
on rug cleaning at home.
Those three and such as these are
short and sure methods to join the
heavenly choir.
Order the doctor, nurse, coroner, un-
dertaker and fire department in adj.
vance.
Cleaning gloves or fabrics in gaso-
line indoors, or spraying bedroom fur
niture with gasoline to eXterminate
vermin are equally dangerous practices.
