Just what Is going to be done In re- gard to further contributions to the relief of the people in the fanatne dis tricts Of Russia has not been definitely determined. It has not been shown that it Is the disposition of the soviet govefhment to take over the burden in spite of the promise of large crops from the seed that was furnished in part at least from the American funds.
 If the reports are true that the soviet government Is putting forth the clAlrn that the aid given to the starving and sick Russians was only lean ar ranged by the soviet government it can be appreciated what state Of mind is being created among those people. Likewise it Is evident how much easier It will be, under such false claims, to take from the people such grain as the government may call for, regardless of the amount needed for sustenance. Such an effort, if correctly reported, meana that the balshevikl are engaged or plan ming to engage In the heavy taxation of the people through seizures that the ngc- sssary funds to keep bolshevism going may be obtained from the sale Of the exported food stufhs.

Taking advantage of orportunities can apply to road building as well as to other things. as is shown by the work Eow underway in the state of Fennsyl- vania, where a railroad roadbed which had besh abandoned Is now being utll- lsed for the construction of g modern highway. There Is the advantage of securing good grades and the benefit of the well built roaabad. On this iA De. Ing placed for part Of the distance . re inforced concrEts surface IS feet wide and for the remainder sheet asphalt on a concrete base is being constructed. II Is a new road that promises to work quite as advahtageousiy to the highway users Of that state ae the 1haEnss river raiir6ad bridge did to the trafae q southeastern Connecticut when It wal given to the state and converted into a highway structure.
 Road building costs arv mounting q. reads are improved, there being a con stant demand for extending state high way systems and Instead oe putting ou' money for temporary benefit to pu down fcadbed that will last and over come much of the heavy repair expens' and which will oHtiast the period re duifed to pay fer them.
 In thls connection It Is Interesting tt note what iarge sun is being contrib uted to the state for the purpose Q maintaining highways eseh year 5: those who fall to respect the Coniiec ticut motor vehicle laws. For the las ascai year ending with June there wa received by the motor vehicle depart
 nens over sss,0eo from Anes paid to violations of the motor vshieie iaS which money goes to the highway de partment for naintenance work.

REsPoNDrNe TO DUwY.

When President Harding receives re- piles from virtually all of the 2S gov ernors to whom he appealed in his ef. forts to secure the much desired pro- duction Of coal and to furnish pfoteetioa to those who engage in the mining, and ih nearly all cases the fullest eoopera- ton Is promised 1t Is indicated that there s a widespread endorsement of ths methods which have been followed by the president to secure an arnicRble adjustment Of the mine trouble but failing in that there is the belief that broduction should be resumed
 That steps in keeping with what hays been asked have already been taken is Indicated ln the reply Of the goverpol ot Colorado to the effect that there is a greater production of coal in thai state at the present tlne than is usual at thts season, while the governor oi ss.ss..>slsen is not only going to do al possible for the protection of miners but he Is an advocate of the idea oi the state taking control of the mihe; that there may be separate negotiation between the operators and minsrs. whtcl he believes would quickly settle ths trouble il that state.
 When the reply is to the effect thsi ample provisions will be made to pro tect these who want Co work, or thai speh protection is already being fur nShed, t is apparent that the statei have been aroused to thsir duty undel the eirepnstanees and that they are de tarmined with the backing of the gov srsnent to zee that the threstAaed eos shortage is avoided or prevented iron being as bad as 1t might otherwise be.
 There was no good reason why sHcl a stand should not have been taken ). the governors before. except that theri were hopes for an adjustment. When however, there is bJoedshed or threat ensd trouble the duty of the state l clear, and when 1t becomes apparen that the stats 4s unable to handle th situation federai assistance Is ready fo call.

 o4Aer matters may stand fin the way of the enactment of such a law at this session but 1t only requires such dkn- onstrationa as these given in Illinois and Texas and other states to aeceatuate the failure to protect individuals in their Fiehes, or to provide proper pre- tection to property.

The need of providing the protection to in- dividnals which is assured under ths Constitution Is thus regarded as duty which the government should assume, h. asmueh as states have shown their un- willingness to provide it.
