Much is expected from these meetings

Ekaterinburg, Sept. 22.-The Ural
mountains area, embracing one of the
richest mineral districts of Russia,
launched this week new experiment
for the reformation of the Russian
local administration.
The Bolshevist authorities for
some time have been uneasy over the
tendency of their machine to become
highly bureaucratic and excessively
centralized.
Everything has moved around Mos
COW, which has kept tight hold on
even the minor details of local adj
ministrations.
This has produced much grumbling
in the provinces, besides retardins
their growth.
Many former prosperous country
towns are now almost moribund.
"We Bolshevists have developed a
sixth sense" one leader told the
writer in discussing the proposed re-
forms.
This sixth sense has warned us
that the peasants and the town work
ers felt the government was building
a barrier between them and u.s."
The government and the Communist
party, consequently have resolved to
attempt complete decentralization of
the provincial government, rearrange-
ment of the areas and final scrap
ping of the old machinery of the
czarist administration.
Moscow will lay down the broad
lines of national policy, but leaving
the local authorities considerable lati-
tude in adapting this policy to local
conditions.
The entire administrative and in
dustrial power throughout Uralia
| now centers in one body, the Ural
economic council.
1t controls the local governments,
! education, factories. agriculture, taxa
ton, local railroad services, steam
ships, mines-everything outside of
the army and general politicah sup
ervision, which still are under the
watchful care of the central govern
| ment.
The province has been reorganized
into 900 areas called Rayons.
Each Rayon will have adequate
medical and administrative centers.
Hitherto the areas have been ex-
cessively large, one district alone be-
ing nearly three times the size of
Belgium and so organized that the
peasants had to spend weeks out of
each year travelling TO the center to
pay their taxes. record births. and
deaths and the like.
The council has authority TO decide
upon industrial change on the spot
instead of delaying for a verdict from
Moscow.
A very able and energetic young
official, Stembro. has been made
! president of the area.
| Reconstruction must be completed
before November 1 when the results
will be studied with view TO OK.

POINCARE SUSPENDS
PRECIOUS WORK TO

Significance Attached to
Frenchman's Trip to

Paris, Sept. 22.-Small incidents
sometimes have big meanings.
Thus the Frenchman who wrote that
Premier Poincare had gone to the
station Friday to see Stanley Bald
win, the British prime minister, of
on his way to London, will attach i'm
portance to the event far greater than
it apparently deserves.
NJ. Poincare is a stiff, unsociable
man, who possesses few or no intimate
friends.
He usually disregards the amenities
of life.
His one passion is for work, and
so attached is he to this one passion
that it is highly unusual for him to
interrupt his daily schedule for any
cause whatsoever.
Yet the French premier threw
schedules to the wind and consented
to lose a good solid hour for the pur.
pose of performing simple act CT
courtesy.
He must have felt very friendly to-
ward Premier Baldwin.
He must, have taken a fancy to the
British statesman at first sight.
Such friendship between two states
men, both peculiar in their way, can
augur nothing but good for the rela-
lions between France and Great Brit
ain.
BY diplomatic usage Premier Poin.
care was not at all bound to bid
Premier Baldwin goodbye.
He could have relegated the duty 70

for that purpose. known as the "dl-
rector of protocol"

one of the saving factors for the
West.
The domestic sugar interests at
tribute the increased paintings to the
protection against Cuban dumping
provided by the tariff and feel that IN
this instance, if in no other, the tariff
schedule was justified.
They have also contended that the
tariff had nothing to do with the
furry in sugar last spring, because
the rise came along after the tariff
was effective, and drop ensued while
the tariff was still in effect.
Senator Borah still is hopeful that
some early means will be found for re-
lieving the condition of the wheat
farmer in the West.
President Coolidge is of the same
mind, but the President refuses to call
Congress in extra session when he has
no definite constructive and perman-
emily helpful plan to suggest to the
House and Senate.

Most of the mysterious cliff-dwellers
Of Arizona lived on the level ground.
rs we do, and not like swallows in a
lift, DIR. Harold Sellers Cotton told the
American Society of Biologists In Bos-
ton recently. Four kinds of pottery,
indicating four kinds of cliff-dwellers,
he said, have been found In the region
Of the San Francisco mountains.
Whether these neighboring races
lived at the same time and yet made
such different pottery. or whether the
four kinds Of pottery represent differ
ent periods of time, is yet to be dis
covered. This pottery is apparently
distributed in the horizontal plane,
each kind of pottery having its partic-
ular region.
