B0LSHEVIKS SEEKING
INCREASED PRODUCTION
Want Increased Manufacturing for
Trade With Farmers for
Foodstuffs.
Blythe Associated Pres,

BY the Associated Press. ".sss, ss,'
RIGA. Latvia, July 27.-Many ex-
periments are being introduced in the
management and supply system Of
Russian factories in an effort by the
bolshevik government to increase
production In order to obtain products
to exchange with the peasants for
food.
Some, time ago a piece-work scale
was introduced in the hope that this
would incite individual workmen to
increased efforts. According to a
MOSCOW dispatch, all. factory manage
ments have been ordered to carry It
into effect urgently and Immediately.
In many Industrial concerns a COL
lective rationing plan has been sub
stituted for the old system of grant
ing individual rations. Under the new
method whole factory is granted q
monthly allowance of foodstuff and
money on the condition that it turns
out stipulated amount of goods.
II the factory is able to produce
this quantity with smaller number
of workmen than estimated. the sur
plus of foodstuffs and money can be
distributed among the workmen as a
premium.
The All-Russian Council Of Trade
Unions has issued a circular pointing
out that Increases Of wages in money
payments are inadvisable at this time
because this would necessitate an in
crease in the output of currency which
the government is even now unable
to print in sufficient quantities. The

IS OPPOSED TO
EXTENSION FOR
Time ON TAXES
Attorney General Does Not
Approve Further Time
To Fish Companies.

/ The Attorney General of Alaska is
opposed to the request of the Terri
torial Fish Commission that an ex'
tension of time be granted for the
: delinquent fish taxes to September
/! 1921.
stThe> letter was received by Senator
Britt and read in the =. Territorial
Senate this forenoon and entered
among the files of the Senate.
: In stating his reasons for opposing
the delinquent tax extension, the At
torney General stated that of the SO
fish companies invoved, more or
less ,43 have not let made a report
to the treasurer of the territory re-
garding the pack for 1920. Many of
the companies are not operating this
season and the attorney general be-
lieves that legal rights should be
asserted by the Territory and suits
filed If the tax is not paid.
The Attorney General cites that
perhaps some of the companies may
go into bankruptcy and the terri
tory lose the tax money He cited
one case whereby a bankruptcy case
had gone through the legal status,
the receiver had made his report,
settled accounts pro rata and had
been discharged before the Terri
toyr could demand the payment of
the fish tax.

NEXT TERRITORIAL
SESSION NEEDS TO
BE LOOKED AFTER

} Governor Riggs is looking forward
ito the next session of the Territor-

planned to the Senate that some
provision should be made regarding
custodian Of the Legislative prop
crty These facts are brought out
in the following communication re-
ceieved by the Senate from the Gov
;ernor and which explains itself:
To the President of the Senate:
1t would be well for the Legisla-
ture to adopt joint resolutions sim
liar to those contained in Senate
Joint Resolution No. 7 and Senate
Concurrent Resolution No. 8, both
of the 1917 Session of the Legisla-
ture, giving authority to the Gov
ernor to act as custodian of Legisla-
tive property and to engage quart
ers for the 1923 session. Through
an oversight these resolutions were
not adopted at the 1919 session.
Should the Governor stand on a
technicality, or should quarters not
be obtainable at the price allowed
under the Federal appropriation for
legislative expenses, the Legislature
might be subjected to considerabl e
annoyance and delay when next it
meets. .,r,
