REVAL, Esthonia, Aug. 15.-Fam-
inc. resulting from crop failure, is far
more feared by the Communist die
tators of Russia than any develop
ment of capitalism that might come
from recent concessions toward free
trade, according to speeches by Lee
nine and other Communist leaders,
editorials in Bolshevik official news
papers and other information from
Moscow reaching the Baltic states.
Lenine, writing for the Baku Com
munist, as reported by the official Boil
shevik telegraph agency, Rosta, few
days ago, said: There is nothing to
fear in the rise of small farming and
small industry. 1t cannot be danger
Gus to our big industry. Something
else is to be feared. In case of a bad
harvest, there can be no diminishing
in the crisis of the working classes.
Not the growth of petty bourgeoisie
and capital is dangerous, but the state
of need and lack of foodstuffs that is
continuing too long. That is why the
proletariat becomes weak and cannot
stand against the elements of petty
bourgeoisie."
Economic Policy
In this, as in other articles widely
distributed throughout Russia in sup
port of the new economic policy, LIE
nine points out that, by holding firm
" to the reins of big industry, the
dictatorship of the proletariat can al
ways control any situation that might
develop with regard to smaller cap
italistic advancement.
In a speech before the All-Russiar
| Supply conference, recently held a
Moscow, Lenine, as reported in the of
fetal newspapers Pravda and IZestia
was extremely pessimistic bout the
| famine possibilities.
There has come to pass" he is
reported as saying, IAN unforeseen cir
! cumstance which now, in the second
year, subjects the country to extreme
! hardships. Whether we are in for {
series of arid years, as has beer
, prophesied these two years, we do no
| know. But it has become perfect,
| clear that this is the second year i,
which we will again, over large areas
/ experience failure of crops, and thi!
pictures in our minds the imminency
of great danger
Says Area Great
! II will not now dwell on the exten
of the area affected by this calamity
but the area is certainly very great
1t is already quite clear that Their
will be large areas in the payment O
tax in kind in many districts; that il
many districts the population, apar
from this, will be doomed to unheard
of sufferings; and that the supply OF
CARNATIONS, instead of obtaining i
those districts a surplus of product
for the maintenance of the army, tn
labor classes and the industry. wi

from whatever source derived, in
such cases and amounts, and in such
manner, as shall be prescribed by
law and reasonable exemptions may
be provided.
Nothing is said about an income
tax in the present constitution,
though it is contended by some law
yers that an income tax could be
assessed without the amendment. But
advocates of the amendment say it is
necessary to authorize the legislature
to pass a graduated income tax law,
and provide for reasonable eXemp-
tionS).

rotary of state at such last preceding
general election.
(Under the present constitution a
legislative apportionment is based on
a special census of all male inhabi-
tants more than twenty-one years OF
age. Women are not counted. Under
the foregoing amendment the appor-
tionment would be based on the total
vote for all candidates for secretary of
state. 1t would save the cost of a
special census)

Thirteen proposed amendments to
the constitution of Indiana will be
voted on at special election Sep
TENDER 6. The amendments were ap-
proved by two consecutive general as
semhl1es, as is required by the con-
stitution before proposed changes in
the fundamental law are submitted
to the electorate for approval or re-
lection. The general assembly of
1921 enacted law for a special cleo
ton, because heretofore proposed
amendments, while they may have re-
ceiyed more affirmative than mega
tive votes, usually did not receive af-
firmative votes equal to a majority
of all votes cast. The vote for gov
ernor or president was so much larg-
er than the vote on amendments that
the amendments failed for want of
majority of all votes The constitu-
ton requires that an amendment to
be adopted must receive a majority
OF all votes at the election. A major
lty for an amendment, when public
OFFICIALS are elected, may not be a
majority of all votes cast At the
special election September the cleo
torate will vote on nothing except the
amendments
Each amendment will be numbered,
and there will be two squares for
each amendment, one lettered yes
| and the other no" The elector will
pass on each amendment sepa rately.
The amendments, as they will be
| numbered on the ballot, and brief
explanation of their purpose follow

cedng such election, shall be entitled

Proposed Amendment to Section of
Article 10.
Section I. The general assembly
shall provide by law for system of
taxation.
(This amendment, which is being
discussed more than any other, would
take the place of the provision of the
present constitution for uniformity
and equality and authorizing exemp-
tions of certain property, including
municipal, church and school. It's adj
vocates say it is intended to author
ize classification of property, with diff
ferent valuations or different rates on
each class. They say it is designed
to bring intangibles on the duplicate
and relieve somewhat the present bur-
den on real estate and other tangible
property. Its opponents say it is dan
gerous because it removes all restIic-
lions on the legislature and would
authorize the legislature to provide
any system of taxation it pleases).
