account Of the necessity OF the state
for more funds.
The Freeman-JOurnal recalls that a
number OF years ago the state exeea-
tive council, Sitting as an equalization
board, boosted the valuation Of nearly
all town property ten per cent. 1t pro-
ceeded upon the theory that It should
bring all valuations up to the highest
point returned by the assessors That
was not equalization but 9 general ad-
vance in valuations. That action q. Of
the council created widespread dissat-
isfaction and, as might be exepcted, the
council was severely condemned, as 1t
should have beer.
1t is to be hoped that the state ex'
ecutive council will not boost valua-
lions to meet state necessity. That
necessity can be met in far better
way. Their. Is no justice ii taxing a
taxpayer something like $40 in order
to bring one dollar to the state treas
ury.
If the council really has such plan
under consideration the people of the
state. and especially the farmers, ought
to enter vigorous protest.

FREE PETROLEUM,

The people generally, prOtectiQnists
included, will agree with President
Harding that petroleum ought to pc
on the free list. The aggregate supply
of crude petroleum is limited and can
not be increased and there is no rea-
son to believe that the oil interests
in this country will suffer from the
competition of oil from other countries.
They can successfully compete with the
world. The ultimate simply Of these
commodities cannot be Increased By
manufacture and when the supPly ts
exhausted something else will have to
take its place. The supply Of oil
and coal may be practically mex
haustible for. centuries, but the lumber
supply, unless comprehensive measures
are taken for reforestation, will be
seriously impaired in comparatively
few years.
In the course of a letter to Chairman
Fordney of the house ways and meaEs
committee, having in charge the new
tariff bill, the president wrote as fol

RUSSIAN AID.

That man Herbert Hoover has very
large head filled with good sense. Max
i'm Gorky, well known Russian social
list, has asked American aid for the
sufferers OF Russia. Mr.. Hoover is
willing to do what he can for them
under certain conditions and the con-
ditions he lays down are fair and
should be complied with. If they are
not complied with this country should
let the people of Russia take care Of
their own.
Mr.. Hoover has wired Mr.. Gorky the
terms and it remains to be seen whetil-
or or not they will be accepted. Am
erican prisoners held in Russian jails
must be released. The Russian govern
ment must make a statement to
the effect that American relief is de-
sired and to give assurances that Am
ericam representatives of the relief adj
ministration shall be given full liberty
to come and 20 and move about Russia.
The members must also be allowed to
organize the necessary committees and
the donate shall be given free trans
portatiOn. Russian authorities must
assign necessary equipment and fuel. If
Russia complies with these stipula-
lions, Mr.. Hoover promises that the re-
lief administration will supply all per
sons alike, withOut regard to race,
creed or social status and that its rep
rcsentatiyes in Russia shall abstain
from political activities.
If the Russian government objects to
these requirements that government
must accept the responsibility for the
starvation that will follow. Mr.. Hoover
has certainly made a fair and square
proposition. However, the Russian
government will hate to admit that
Russia needs help from America. be-
cause that government is trying to
make the world believe that Russia
| is not suffering to any great extent. II
lit is not, then there is certainly no
need for American help and there is
no occasion from this country to make
contributions. E

1t is said that 20,O00,O00 people in
Russia are facing starvation and that
millions of them will die this winter
unless aid is received from the. United
States. a report from Reval is to the
effect that the soviet government is
urging Senator Francis to father an
appeal for help to the American PEG
pie. This country never yet turned a
deaf ear to the just appeals Of suffer

STA are as bad as reported it is likely
the United States will grant aid. The
people Of Russia are not responsible
for the condition they are in. Lenine
