BERLIN, July 29.-Recognition of
Russia was counselled here today by
Mrs. Philip Snowden of the British
Labor Mission to Russia. as the
safest means of heading Russia off
from development into an Imperial
istic, capitalistic and militaristic ma
ton with a Napoleon at its head,
threatening all Europe"
Her plea was not based on pro-
bolshevism, for the commission has
not come out as "pros." Bolshevism
she declared, had failed to live up to
its own standards, and as for its ex-
tension to other lands, Mrs. Snow
den regarded that as out of the ques-
ton.
"But," she said, "I believe that re-
cognition of Russia by the rest of
the world would be the quickest way
to alter the system there and cor
rect the evils now existing. Let in
the light and the winds of kindness.
Let in criticism. When Russia knew
the criticism of the rest of the world,
it would quickly change. In fact, /
think that bolshevism's internal
critics-once backed by the public of
the rest of the world and strengthen
ed by political recognition of the ma
tion-would soon see to it that a
modification of the situation was ac-
complished."
"What have you to say as to the
Bolshevik danger to the rest of the
world,' the correspondent asked.
'tIt can be danger" she replied.
ri believe Russia is going to defeat
the Poles. And, l can tell you that
every victory makes things worse,
since it gives Russia a new pride, a
new confidence. And the growth of
this spirit can be dangerous to the
rest Of the world. I am convinced
that if Russia is not recognized, but
instead is fought, she viii simply

Hard Times Sends JapsI
Girls Husband Hunting
By Nc, Manus
UNITED Press Service)

TOKYO, July 29.-The hard times
(which struck Japan with great sud-
denness recently have had many
strange effects, among them being
that of sending many fair ia
panese damsel out into the matri-
monial market to look for a husband
who can support her. In Japan mar
;;,riages are contracted through pro-
fessional match makers to a far
greater extent than is the case in
other countries, and these are now
profiting by the wind which is blow
ing ill for most other people in
Japan.
"Never before have we had so
many women applicants" said one of
the most prominent marriage agents.
GAS rule, our customers are men
looking for wives, but lately the old
order las been reversed. There may
be other reasons, hut we who are in
The business think that the hard
times are causing women to seek
safety by finding husbands to protect
them. There are a number of wo-
men of the better classes among our
clients
The Bureau of Statistics tells a
similar tale. Its records show that
a tremendous increase is taking place
in the number of marriages recorded
during the past two months. A
rather novel example of the steps
taken by young women to find help
mates is found in the following adj
vertisement in which a Japanese
maiden seeks to land a foreign hus-
band. 1t reads: Japanese young
lady, aged 20, of best Samurai ia
nnily, wishes to break with old Gus
toms and to marry a foreigner.
Willing to learn English and to wear
Western clothes"
Another effect of the times is the
exodus of farmers sons from the
universities and other institutions for
higher learning in Tokyo. These
young men are being called back to
the farms by their parents, who made
large sums of money during the
boom, and who thus felt able to give
their sons good educations. Now the
hard times has hit them badly, and
the young men must forego their
careers.

though Mrs. Snowden advocates con-
siderable alterations in the British
parliamentary system.
AS COR the condition of women in
Russia, Mrs. Snowden declared:
"They are on an absolutely equal
footing with men. They receive the
same ray for the same work, have
equal suffrage, and are everywhere
treated as mems equals. The in
dustrial situation is such that all wo-
men must work."

there is a strong effort to upbuild

Mrs. Snowden regards the present
Russian system as despotism, just as
despotic as czarism though on quite
opposite lines. But she believes, as
does DR.. Guest of the commission,
that a certain amount of capitalism
will be injected ultimately into the
bolshevistic regime.

One of the latest oil fields to be dis
covered is that in British Colubia,
up near the Arctic ocean, and not
withstanding it's inaccessible location
prospectOrs, investors and operators
are preparing to flock to the district
Even the rigors of winter do not deter
those chasers after fortunes. An oil
strike nowadays creates the same fur
or that a gold strike aroused a few
years ago, and an announcement of a
discovery of oil starts a stampede to
the new fields. The new British Co.
lumbia oil fields are at Fort Norman,
some $50 miles northwest of Edmon-
ton, and even at this time Of the year
with the weather bitterly cold in that
latitude people are headed for the new
others interested travel on foot and
with dog sleds, but the more modern
means of transportation is to be utili-
zed as the airplane is to be used to get
there. The productivity of the wells al
ready drilled is such as to arouse a
vast amount of interest in the new
field. as it is stated that the chief
well is flowing at the rate of from
1000 to 5000 barrels of high grade
oil a day, and those interested are al
ready figuring on a pipe line to Behr-
ing sea, from whence the oil is to be
shipped by tankers to the worlds
markets.

Penticton enjoyed quite building
boom during the year 1920. Building
permits issued in that city for the year
amounted to $4,000. If the same rate
of growth continues in few years
Penticton will be one Of the largest
cities in British Columbia. The con-
struction of the new railroad from
that city south to Oroville, in conjuc-
tion with its admirable location on
Okanogan Lake, is going to contribute
towards carrying out that prediction.
Congratulations upon the showing are
extended to our neighbors across the
line, for we look upon their prosperity
without envy, anticipating closer
association when the proposed rail
link Is completed.

Much feeling has been created
among prospectors and claim owners
of limited means over the action of
congress in waiting until almost the
close of the year to pass bill reliev-
ing that class from doing annual as
sessments required by the mining law,
until July LIST of next year. 1t is point
ed out that most of those who are de-
pendent upon their own labor for car
rying out the provision of the law have
already done their assessment work
and that this last minute enactment
only relieves those richer mine and
claim owners from hiring the work
done at a time when men need all the
employment that they can secure.

AT the beginning of new year, with
times not as flush as they have been
in recent proceeding years, would it
not be well for those with the power
and authority to distribute public
money to decide upon following a line
of strict economy in the matter of dis
bursements? In order to keep up town,
city, county and state government
taxes are increasing with alarming
regularity, and yet, with the increas-
ed taxation there is little or no re-
duction in the bonded and floating
debt of these corporations. Almost
every town, school district city and
county in the state is paying out vast
sums annually for interest, an ex-
pense for which the people who pay
the taxes receive absolutely nothing
in return, on warrant Indebtedness,
to say nothing of bonds. We are get
ting a mighty poor what might be
called local government for the money
that it is costing. Those in office are
prone to be careless with public mon
ey. 1t is easy to spend money when
that money does not come out of the
spender's pocket, and the result is that
cash goes out like water from the pub
lie exchequers. Government is not
conducted on a business basis. AS a
rule We elect men to office that have
no experience in business affairs and
DDS If they tried to run a private
business of any kind as they run the
office to which the people have elect
ed them they would be in the hands OF
a receiver in no time. The tax state
ment as it appeared in a recent issue
enough to make the property owner,
who shoulders the burden of keeping
up government, groan in despair. The
state and county levy amounts to 33
mills, and on top of that comes the
road and school levies, while resi-
dents of incorporated towns are
knocked stiff, If not already in that
condition, by the municipal levy.
There are nine incorporated towns in
the county and the tax levy for those
several municipalities is as follows:
Omak SO mills; Riverside SIS mills;
Twisp 76 mills; Okanogan 70 mills;
Oroville and Brewster II mills; Mol
son 6S mills; Pateros SO mills; Con-
cOnully SO mills. And there you are.
Such showing does not encourage
investment and Improvement, and
some means should be devised where
by taxes could be pared down each
year instead of constantly facing an
increase with apparently little hope
of ever reaching the peak.

State Senator Dick Hutchinson Is
advocating an old age pension bill
which he will introduce in the legis-
lature this winter. 1t is doubtful if the
legislature will indorse the bill as
there is strong sentiment opposed to
this class of legislation. Statistics
show that large percentage of men
who reach 60 years of age are de-
pendent upon relatives or public char
ity. Undoubtedly many have not been
able to accumulate sufficient property
to provide for their old age through
misfortune of one kind or another, yet
there are many others who are strand
ed in their declining years through ex-
travagance and improvidence IN early
life. 1t is question whether an old
age pension law would not have the
effect of encouraging improvidence as
