VILLAGES KEEP THE FINES
Mulct Motor Speedcrs, But Refuse To
 Divide With State

Among the worlds greatest detectives are the police of some of the villages of New York who specialize in Tightening the pocketbooks of motorists. They have q wonderful scent for traffic vio- lations, and the village treasuries hun ger for the proceeds. In spite of the new motor vehicle law they still con- trive to make mOtor-baiting a profita- ble industry.
 New York law attempts to curtaiI the local incomes from this source by the provision that no village may re- tain the fines levied in excess of $1 a year for each of its inhabitants. The surplus must be paid over to the state. One village which last year collected $12,OOO has population of 512. This year its haul should be $512. But a new dodge is being used, apparently to get the dollars on other terms than fines.
 The motorcycle policeman holds up car for an alleged violation and, in- stead of handing the driver subpoena, takes cash bail of from $5 to $25, enough to cover the fine that might be imposed. To avoid the trouble of appearing in court the motorist usuallv forfeits the bail, and presumably the sum paid, since it is not in the form of fine, can be added to the village ex- chequer regardless of the statutory linn ltatlon'-New York Herald Tribune.

RADIO IN RUSSIA

The Communist organ, Izvestia, dis cusses the importance of the radio for the economic, political, and cultural life of the soviet republic" and deplores the scant development of the industry in Russia.
 Why is this apparatus manufactur- ed in such scant numbers here?" the paper asks. and gives the following answer: Because the chief support of the. radio industry in Europe and America is the mass of amateurs, who do not exist in Russia. To develop amateurs we must have broadcasting stations for what is the use of having radio in your house if you cannot lis ten to anything?"
 It is further proposed to organize a society for the development of the use of the radio. The Communist party and the professional unions will be ien- trusted with the duty of installing radio centers ''in every village" so that "all peasants and workers of the A. liance of Soviet republics vii be kept in touch with the political and economic life of the country.
