Urge Motorists to Let
the Wild Flower Live
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A love of nature Is common to all
mankind. AT least the open road, the
sky, the breeze of summer, the green
Of fields and woods, the murmur of a
stream bring pleasure and refresh
ment to all sorts and conditions Of
humanity
Like much of the so-called love in
the world, however, there is tragic
element in our love of nature
Too often the clump of wild flowers
that gives us such pleasure blooming
in field or glen, climbing rock crev-
ice, or standing in a brooks edge,
forever ceases to exist because we
pick too freely of its blossoms And
when picked the wild flower is no.
tably perishable. Not many kinds can
be counted upon to revive at all, once
their fresh beauty willis; and so, in
stead of returning home with any of
the actual loneliness of the woods and
wayside captive, we bear away only
dead flowers that are eloquent testi-
mony to the lack of intelligence in
our passion for outdoor beauty.
Now that the automobile has made
the deepest country lane as accessi-
BILE as Main Street, there is ground
for real anxiety regarding the effect
of indiscriminate plucking of wild
flowers. Now it is unfortunately lit
orally true that the beauty of nature
is in grave danger of being perma-
nently and hopelessly impaired unless
ruthless f1ower-gathering is restrained
and restrained Immediately.
What are We going to do about it?
What would we do about it if the
roads over which we all travel and
the bridges that span the streams
were the object Of similar destructive
attacks?
We would, first of all, take good
care to stop it ourselves and then see
that others did so. Then we would
never let pass an opportunity to edu.
cate the ignorant or Indifferent, be
they young or old. And, finally, we
would never, never be lawbreaksr
ourselves
Certain flowers are listed in certain
regions as being in especially immi-
nent danger. 1t would be an excellent
thing if we all learned what these are;
but ALL wild flowers are the common
property of all, to be held inviolate
by each one in trust for his fellows.
Surely we can bring ourselves to ap-
preciate their loneliness not merely
for our own temporary satisfaction,
but also for the future. The wild flow
ers that we enjoy we shall want our
children to know and love also; and
the countryside that now blossoms
like the rose we shall not want to
leave desert.

We often hear: MY grandfather

years of age, reads five languages

Therefore, when an old person sud.

is inevitable.

ANNUAL DEFICITS
OFF The SLATE
1923-24 Budget Shows
Healthy Condition

MOSCOW, May 1S.-The budget of
the Union of Socialist Republics for
the year 1924 amounts to 1,75O,O0O,-
900 gold roubles. In 1929 the def
cit constituted 37.9 per cent, and, ac-
cording to plans for 1923.24, it will
be 21.5rper cent of all the expendi-
lures, thus amounting to 356,S00,0 900
gold roubles. 1t will be covered
partly by credit operations and part
ly by currency issues.
The currency issues in 1929
amounted to S99,O2O,OOO gold roubles
(29.4 per cent of all federal revenues),
and in 1923-24 they are expected to
amount to not more than 180,000,000
gold roubles 40 per cent Of all the
expected revenues).
Less Tax in Kind.
The tax in kind (grain taxi will
not exceed 80 per cent of the reve-
nues of the budget of 1923-24, while in
1929 it amounted to 10 per cent.
A characteristic feature Of the fed
eral budget of 1924 is the fact that
it is expressed in gold currency and
that it is to be carried out partly in
chervontzy and partly in Soviet rou-
bles, according to the rate Of ex-
change of the chervontz.
In 192S-24 the part played by the
revenues not derived from taxes
(such as revenues from government
properties and enterprises) has in
creased. During the year which has
come to a close the revenues not
derived from taxes have yielded 49,
$4,000 gold roubles (49.8 per cent of
all federal revenues), and in 1924
the sum is expected to be doubled,
i. e., to amount to over S03,000,000
gold roubles 1929 per cent of all fed
eral revenues). For the year 1922
%, not less than 4O0,0O0,00O gold rou-
bles were granted as subsidy to the
nationalized industries, and in 1924
it is proposed to appropriate for that
purpose 69,000,000 gold roubles out of
the budget resources.
Transport Subsidy Lessons.
In 1929 the transport system, to-
gether with the postal and telegraph,
received from the federal budget
subsidy of Isl, 100000 gold roubles.
In 1923-24 it is expected that the ex-
penditures for the transport and the
postal and telegraph system will
amount to 693,OOO,O0O gold roubles,
thus reducing the subsidies to $4,000
900 gold roubles.
Considerable assistance will be
given to agriculture, namely, 72,000,-
600 gold roubles. Altogether it is in
tended to spend out of the budget re-
sources of 1924, 1S4,000,O00 gold
roubles for the financing Of all
branches of national economy.

Ludendorff, who captured" Halle,
almost addressed a mass meeting of
the extreme nationalist and anti
semitists in Berlin. Almost-but at
the decisive moment, when it became
apparent that the Communists would
break up the meeting, the hero pre-
ferred not to come. He had been adj
vertised to speak as Kurt Erich
which to the initiated meant Erich Lu-
dendorff. But the Communists got
wind of this and modified their
forces. Instead of a Ludendorff
speech there was a merry street fight,
in which both sides used clubs and
billies until the police interfered.
