Poplar Standard: The First Ma

this week when Receiver V. M.
Smith, following instructions from
the Comptroller of the Currency
started to ship the safe, which has
been locked since the closing of the

by experts in a safe company at that
place. The safe was taken to the
depot and it was found that the rail
road company would require a release
from liability while the safe was in
transit and as the receiver had no
authority to release the railroad COM
pany the safe was again returned to
the bank. Mr.. Smith states that he
has again taken the matter up with

Several weeks ago an attempt was

SOVIET RUSSIA
NEEDS MACHINERY
Vast Shortage of Machines Will Mean
Anothers Famine-Needs Machine
~ As Well As Food.

Russia was never able to produce
her own machinery, especially farm
iHg machinery Before the wal, Rus
STA used to import tremendous guam
titles of machinery, especially farm
ing implements and machines. In
1918, as, 100000 gold roubles' worth
of farming tools and machines was
produced in Russia. Il gold rouble
equals 50c). Gradually the annual
production diminished, owing to the
Soviet Government having to fight the
counter-revolutionar In 1920
Soviet Russia produced only $500, O0C
gold roub1es' worth of the same ma
chinery. rEf
Big Task for American Workers
The deterioration in the state OF
farming machinery in Soviet Russia
is fearful. Since the outbreak of the
war Is years) only 100,500,0O0 roubles
worth has been manufactured, as
against normal production of $780,.
100000 roubles' worth. Before the
war more than 100000 roubles
worth was imported every year; since
then none at all.
In addition according to statistics
published not long ago, of the 10000.

900 ploughs in use at time in Russia,
1900, 900 We're made of wood; and Of
the 22,834,OOO harrows, 21,000,OOO
were either Of wood or furnished only
with iron teeth.
AS result, in order merely to reach
the 1913 standard, Soviet Russia
must be provided with at least $780,
100000 roubles' worth of farming ma
chinery and tools.
Only one of two things can relieve
the need of Soviet Russia. Either a
large part of the population must die,
or tremendous amounts of farming
machinery must be furnished. Food
alone will not settle the matter, since
it merely will relieve the immediate
need. If machinery is not supplied,
famines will become a regular mani
festation in Soviet Russia.
Genoa has demonstrated that Soviet
Russia cannot depend on the capitalist
governments. The Hague will prob
ably be but repetition of Genoa
The task devolves upon the workers;
they must supply what the capitalist
governments refuse Soviet Russia
They must furnish productive, con.
structive relief-the kind that viii
build up the country and make ii
impregnable to the attacks Of the cap
italist governments.

under the sedition law" Jefferson
said. sbecause I considered and
now consider that law to be a null
lity. as abs olute and as pal
pable as if Congress had ordered
us to fall down and worship
golden image; and that it was
as much my duty to arrest its
execution in every stage as 1t
would have been to have rescued
from the fiery furnace those who
should have been cast into it for
refusing to worship the image.
It was accordingly done in every
instance without asking what the
offenders had done, or against
whom they had offended, but
whether the pains they were sui
fering were inflicted under the
pretended sedition law"
An assertion by Rep. London that
the doctrine of "Shut your mouth in
war times" lay at the basis of all
monarchial institutions, brought 1ofth
the familiar charges that he was adj
vocating the doctrines of Bolshevism
To these charges London replied that
the doctrines he advocated were form
ulated in America long before Lenin
and Trotsky were born.
Referring to the refusal OF the
President to receive the amnesty cru.
saders, London said he had "sort OF
suspicion that the President has beer
advised by the Wall street clique, the
open-shop supporters, the enemies o.
every progressive thought" agalns
exposing himself to the sight OF these
victims of injustice.
Earlier in the week when tn

fered an amendment directing tn
postoffice at New York to use stam]

eral amnesty for all political prison
ers." The amendment was ruled Oh
on a point of order by Rep. Blantol
of Texas.
It is evident, in spite Of the stron'
effort being made by it's supporters
that the amnesty bill will receive n
consideration at the present sessio
of Congress, unless Senators and Rep
resentatives are impressed by thei
costituents with the fact that t

INSURANCE Law
REPEALED in 1909
SO SAYS THE COMMISSIONER OF
INSURANCE-GEORGE p. POR
TER.

It has come to my attention that
there is considerable misunderstood
ing as to the laws of this State with
reference to Surety Companies being
required to deposit securities in Mon
tana for the protection of policyhold-
ers.
The Legislature of 1909 enacted in
to law measure providing for the
admission and supervision of foreign
surety companies and repealed the
law of 1908 which required surety
companies to deposit $50,000.00 in Sc
curities with the State Treasurer. Sec
ton "a of Chapter 139 Session Laws
of Montana 1909 read as follows:
"Any and all deposits of money, Sc
curity or other property heretofore de-
posted by any foreign surety compa-
ny in compliance with any law OF
this State shall be returned to and
paid over to the Company making
such deposit within thirty days after
this Act shall be in force and effect.
A bill was introduced during the
1919 Session of the legislature, at my
request, for the purpose of again
placing on our statute books the law
Of 1903 but such measure did not be
come law, and therefore, NONE OF
THE SURETY COMPANIES TRANS
ACTING BUSINESS IN MONTANA
ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE A De
POST OF SECURITIES WITH ANY

In regard to the unsigned article

The evidence found on the jackson

one of our so-called honest, hard-Work-
