HARRISON AND
COUNTY HEADS
ARGUE IN VAIN
Get Nowhere in Conference
on Cut in Proposed Levy
Increase,

Arguing from different sets Of
figures, Leonard Y. Harrison. Cham
Der Of Commerce expert, and county
officials got nowhere today in
session in which Harrison urged the
county tax levy for 1925 be increased
only cents instead OF Z. Present
rate in 81 cents.
Harrison stated the county would
get nearly 100000 from mis-
cellaneous revenue in 1925. instead
of the $3.50 900 figured on by Auditor
Harry Dunn and his deputy, w.
Burchard Butler. The latter. some
what a tax expert himself. having
toiled nine years in the basement Of
the courthouse on county tax
figures. assured Harrison the mis-
cellaneous revenue has never been
more than s350,O0O in any year.
MisinfOrmation
"You have been supplied with mis-
information, Mr.. Harrison" re-
marked c. L. Hogle, president of
the council. 1.-The same misinforma-
ton was given lis a year ago by the
then auditor, Leo K. Fesler, which
resulted in setting the 1924 tax levy
too low to meet actual expenses"
Dunn produced a statement COM
piled by Fesler. which showed
sources of miscellaneous revenue.
Included with fees from various
county offices, etc, was nearly $780,
600 derived from sale of bond is.
sues.
Harrison advocated combining the
sinking fund and the general fund,
which he said would do away with
necessity for a 100000 surplus in
each fund to start each year. Dunn
explained it was the law to have
separate funds, and said it is good
business. also"
Switches to Roads
Harrison then switched his
arguments to the gravel road repair
fund, which county commissioners
have asked be increased from 31a
cents to AZ cents. No use spending
money on gravel roads which won't
stand up anyway, he said.
1.-THE county can't afford to pave
all the gravel roads this summer"
Councilman George N. Montgomery
said. That's what all the argument
is about, the public demanding vast
improvements and wanting taxes cut
at the same time. The gravel roads
will have to be kept in repair as
long as they are not paved"
The council seemed disposed to
agree with Harrison, however, that
80 cents on the 500 will raise
enough for the repair.
The council then recessed to meet
from day to day for few minutes
until Saturday, when the budget and
tax levy will be settled.

Did Only Relief Work

Hibben testified today refuting
charges that the organization known
as Friends of Soviet Russia was
connected with the communist gov
eminent. He said the organization
was a relief organization working
in America.
Another witness today was Rob
ert Norris Lovett, a professor IN
the University Of Chicago, and one
of the editors of the New Republic
magazine. Lovett recently was on
a committee that examined the adj
ministration of the Friends of Soviet
Russia, and said that certain sums
of money were spent in advertising
in communist magazines. He declared
Hibben was not a communist and
was a fit person to retain his cap
tain's commission.
Charges Are Denied
A report drawn by William J.
Burns. formerly mead of the United
States secret service, showed that
Hibben attended a communist relief
meeting in Berlin. Hibben denied
this, saying it was meeting Of in
ternational relief organizations.

Of five appointed by the Near East
Relief Association, Arthur A. John

Shingles for Exterior

Shingles make attractive exterior
walls for home. Whether painted or
allowed to take on the hue that comes
when they are exposed to the weather,
shingles are attractive for the reason
that they give the vine clad cottage
effect to the home. Where shingles
are exposed to the salt sea air they be-
come silvered, and increase in beauty
with age. This effect can now be
gained artificially, so that many Col
onial style houses are constructed with
shingled exteriors, the shingles being
treated chemically before they nre
put on.

Developing the Party Educational Work

/ a Tar1egated series of classes, de-
signed to serve the needs of comrades
needing instructions in elementary
principles, as well as those who
already possess knowledge of Com
munist fundamentals and who require
a further and higher development of
this knowledge.
To this end, the educational depart
ment of the party has already worked
out comprehensive and flexible pro-
gram of work, which is already being
put into actual practice. An explana-
ton of this program will undoubtedly
be of interest. In this article, the
broad outlines of the program as a
whole will be dealt with. Other ar
ticles, which will follow in this de-
partment, will explain each item of
it, in detail and at length, in order
that the comrades affected may have
a complete understanding of the aims
'of the Central Executive Committee
Educational Department in respect to
that phase of the work which they
are carrying out.
Our Educational Program.
I. Publication of Theoretical Works.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-11-15

This will consist of a number of vol
umes containing the most important
writings of Comrade Lenin and giving
complete outline of his teachings
They have already been printed under
this title in Russia and are now in
organized on a permanent basis and
have fairly comprehensive currieula,

in America.
2. Party schools In the larger cities.
In New York, Chicago and Boston,
Party Schools are being established
which are to give systematic courses
Of study thruout the year. They are
with a number Of instructors. Such
schools will undoubtedly grow into
powerful institutions for stabilizing
the party and giving it uniform
theology. Only in the larger cities,
which have a number of leading COM
rades capable of successfully teaching
classes, is it possible to develop
schools Of this character at the pres
ent time.

One item in the program provides for
the periodical publication of theoreti-
cal literature with the aim OF grad
ually building up, as rapidly as our
resources permit, an extensive Library
of Communism in America. The Cen
trail Executive Committee has already
approved and ordered the publication
of the following books: (1) Theses
and Resolutions of the Second Con
gress of the Communist Interna-
tional." This volume contain the fun
damental theses of the Comintern
adopted at the Second Congress, deal
ing with the questions of Trade Union.

Communist Party, the National and

tion Of Soviets, and the Agrarian
Question. (2) "Leninism," by /.

foremost leaders Of the Comintern.
(3) "The Selected Works OF Lenin."

Of an elementary nature, using Buk-
harms "ABC of Communism" as a
text, are now in the process of organi
cation. In order to facilitate this es-
sential development and to make it
possible for groups of comrades who
have no experienced teachers to sue
cessfully conduct the classes, the Edu-
cational Department of the Central
Executive Committee has prepared a
special supplementary pamphlet as a
guide, and with the general direction
and advice of the Educational Depart
ment of the Central Executive Com
mittee, it will be possible for inexper-
fenced comrades to make a successful
start in acquiring the necessary
theoretical knowledge.
It is our aim to eventually establish
such class in each city in the coun-
try where the party has an organiza-
ton. We will not reach this goal all
at once, but the response already
received has exceeded all expectations
and is, in itself. a sure indication of
the widespread ambition prevailing
| amongst the comrades to arm them
selves with knowledge of the funda-
mental theory Of the movement. The

The propaganda theses Of the Fifth
1 Congress of the Communist Inter
national which have been published
in this department during the past
three weeks, have had noticeable
and wholesome influence on the party.
The results are already to be observed
in the greatly increased interest in the
party program for systematic educa-
tional work. 1t is to be hoped that
every active member of the party will
thoroly familiarize himself with these
propaganda theses, since they consti-
tute a clear guide for the whole of
our educational activities. The more
thoroly the contents Of these theses
are assimilated by the party, the more
certain will it be that our educational
work will start OF on the right track
and that it's fundamental Importance
for the health and growth Of the party
will be recognized.
A firm grasp on revolutionary
theory, without which revolutionary
party is impossible, is not a gift which
will fall to us from heaven. The
propaganda theses of the Fifth Con-
gress lay great stress on the fact that
party members can acquire theoreti-
cal knowledge only thru the process
of deliberate and systematic study,
which has to be combined with the
practical activities and struggles of
the party. To this end it lays it down
as a prerequisite that special organs
must be established in the party for
the supervision and conduct Of edu-
cational activity, and for the mainten-
ance Of it in a uniform manner. The
