today refused to accept bids for roat
work entailing a raise OF 20 cents ,
ton in price OF gravel used and pur
chased from the pit at Bcllwood
Neb.. owned by the Richey Sand
company Of Omaha.
The job in which this increase il
the price OF gravel was noted is in Z
four-milc stretch Of road in ButleI
county which is to be graveled, and
the cost OF suriaeing il with this ma.
terial will be more than one-half the
total cost Of construction.
Johnson declared that this COM
pany has been selling gravel from
its pit for 80 cents a ton until week
prior to the letting OF 100000 ir
road and bridge contracts now un.
der wsy here, when the price was in.
creased to 81 q ton. All bidders
we've compelled to base their bids on
the advanced rate, which means ad.
ditional costs amounting to several
thousands OF collars.
To Have Own Sand Pit.
Johnson asserted today that he
with members Of the Butler county
board of commissioners, had decided
to open q sandpit OF their own and
take out their own gravel unless
the Omaha firm reduces its price.
The action OF the Omaha firm
Johnson declared, breaks . gentle
mems agreement made. by state OF.
fcials interested in. road work and
gravel companies. This agreement
according to johnson. was to the ef-
feet that the state would not use its

Russia completely. and just as long as this tremendous realm remains in their power the gigantic Russian pro- ductiVe and receptive area is elirni- mated from European business and economics. Since before the war fur nished great portion of foodstuffs which Central and Western Europe needed for it's industrial workers, it follows that the elimination of the Russian exports necessarily results in increasing need in Europe. This need becomes the more urgent the longer Russia is eliminated from the worlds markets.
 Lowering Europe's Resistance.
 Furthermore, the more this need grows the more susceptible will the peoples of Central and Western Europe become to Bolshevistic propa- banda. Besides. the Soviet Govern ment can send its agents masked as commercial representatives under d1pIomat1c protection into the Euro peon countries in order to stir the working masses to join the Bolshe- Vistic revolution.
 All this increases the prospects of victory for the Moscow usurpers over the whole of Europe. However the Soviets must grind all the great nations of Europe under their heels within the immediate future. If they do not succeed in doing this, then the growing and common misery will force the great European nations to overthrow the Soviet Government by force or arms from outside in order to re-establish the Russian markets.
 All these facts make it very inn portant for the Moscow Government to gain time under any sort of pre- texts.
 It is noteworthy that while the Eng fish capitalists were negotiating with the Soviet Government about the re- sumption of industrial relation Mos COW found the opportunity and the leisure to stir up the Islamic peoples against England to such an extent as to endanger the British possessions in Egypt, Mesopotamia and India Red Ascendancy Ultimate aim. have been long since closely post ed on the true intentions of the Soviet Government, and I have consequently refused to enter into any negotiations With its representatives. A diplo- matic emfSsary of the Soviet Govern ment once sent word to me asking for conference about the political situation in Europe. My answer was ence between gentleman and gang of criminals.
 Representatives of the Soviet Gov ernment also have endeavored to en- ter into business negotiations with my industrial concerns with a view to securing shipments of clothing ma terial to Russia.
 My reply was that I regarded all Bolshevtst business as swindle. I added that even if it were not sW1ndle l, as a respectable business man, would do no business with rot- bers and thieves.
 Finally. l was not disposed to send cloth to Russia which probably would be used to clothe the Red Army and then see the day when the Red Army would invade Germany and its soi. diers cut my throat

 Berlin, Nov. IA leader of the English steel industry said to me a few days ago:
 The Bolshvists are stupid For sixteen months the representatives of the Soviet Government have nego- tiated with me about a contract. When the contract was finally concluded it proved absolutely unfulfllable, so IlAcll LdS SONISI I1eIu- selves annulled it, under all sorts of pretexts. People who waste their time for sixteen months in order to make a futile and unfuIfillable con tract must be stupid
 I replied: ''The Soviet Government pursues one aim, namely, to gain time. That is the a1l-oversha dowing g motive in all their economic negotia- tions with the European powers. European industrials, such 3s the cap- tains of the English steel industry, are anxious to do business with the Soviet economic negotiations. If the Soviet Government negotiates with the Eng fish steel industry about contracts that are in reality impracticable 1t gains time. And the English steel in- dustrials do not get the business.
 ''The Soviet Government, therefore. has achieved what it wanted-and the English steel industrials have failed Consequently it is not the Soviet Gov ernment that is stupid but the English steel industrials''
 Political, Not Economic, Aid which is holding the unfortunate Rus sian people in leash solely by mili- tary force and terror, has no real in- terest whenever in the actual recon struction of Russia; on the contrary only the misery and exhaustion of the Russian people secure to the Moscow usurpers the maintenance of their domination over Russians become slaves.
 If the Russian people had a chance to recover the possibility is that the Soviet Government would be toppIed and the Moscow chieftains know full well that in that case every one of them would be torn to pieces by the vengeance of the people.

The ballot with it's referendums and amendments resembles a nightmare to the uninitiated voter. But the vot- CTS of California have become used to amendments and referendums and plenty of them. They take the mat ter of voting on them seriously and a surprisingly large percentage of the voters vote on all of the amendments. Hot campaigns are waged on many of the amendments and referendumS and their numbers on the ballot become familiar to the voters through adver- Using and campaigning. In the re- cent election the outstanding issues among the amendments were the so1- dier aid measures, the dry law refer endun, an amendment to the medical licensing law, and the proposal to put the state into the hydro-e electric power husin eSs
