RUSSIA EXEMPTS
THIRTY MIL LION
FROM TAXATION
Only Richer Peasants
Must Pay Soviets
Especial to The Daily worker.)


MOSCOW, March 19-The Peoples
Commissariat of Finance has worked
out a basis for the reorganization of
farmers taxes, the plan for which
will be put in operation this year
According to this plan 80 million OF
the poorest Russian peasants will be
completely relieved from taxation and
the taxes of another So million middle
grade farmers will be appreciably
lowered.
The first development in this re-
duction of farmers taxation was made
on August 26, 1928, when the state
I authorities were empowered with the
privilege of lowering taxes per cent
In 1924 the privilege was given to
the authorities to decrease the taxes
612 per cent, The state, however, did
not take advantage of this right, so
the law now makes the exemption of
certain classes. of peasants and the
lowering of the taxes of other classes
of peasants compulsory.
At the same time the law provides
that the most prosperous classes of
farmers shall not have any reduction
on taxes. There are about % million
Independent farms in Soviet Russia
OF these million are rated as poor
est grade, z million are rated as be
tween the poorest and the middle
grade farms, million are rated mid
die grade and Q 1-3 million are rated
first grade farms.
Agricultural Taxation.
BY February 7th, 1925 there were
collected 3O5 million gold rubles from
one agricultural tax. The Russian
Soviet Socialist Republic contributed
EOS million of this amount; 10 million
came from the White Russian Re
public; Z million gold rubles from
Transcaucasia and 11s million from
Ukraine.
Winter Crops
According to the reports from the
inspection of crops which took place
during February the results of the
harvest of the winter crops are ex-s
pected to be very fair.

Forward writer says that one-and
only one-delegate, John Turner, is
alleged to say that he saw.
There is not one word OF either the
summary of the findings of the Brit
ish Labor delegation, as signed by
Purcell and Bramley, or any intima-
ton of even the existence of the com.
pendious report issued later, and
signed by the delegation as whole,
Turner being the only one not sign.
ing it.
Why this twisting and distortion ?
Why this making of Turner into the
voice of British Labor? Why this
silence and suppression of the collec-
tive voice of the British delegation,
headed by no less person than A. A.
Purcell, president of the International
Federation of Trade Unions-the Am
sterdam International?
The answer is, that the mean and
lying reactionaries of the A. F. of l.
bureaucracy will stop at nothing to
delude the American workers as to
the conditions of their brother work
ers in Soviet Russia. And to do so
they make use of John Turner, who
seems to be unable to say the same
thing about Russia twice in success
sion. All to try to preventive recog
lnition by the United States of the
! workers and peasants republic
Turner and his friends on the A. F
Of L. executive council may say what
they will, but the letter written by
John Turner to the Pravda, daily or
gan of the Communist Party of Rus
STA, stands against them. A photo
graph of this letter is in the posses
sion of the Workers Weekly of Lon
don, England, where it has been pub
lished-much to the discontinue o
Mr.. Turner. The letter follows:
John Turner's Letter.
''In saying farewell to Russia will
only express my opinion on one o
two points.

l am a member, came here, not in al

far too large for any mission to be

 The prizes were presented by E. M. Pratt, the president of the h. dustrial council. In his remarks he expressed congratulations to the winners and also to all the teams for their sportsmanship and interest. He even/ went so far as to boast that the Corbin Screw Corp. would enter team last night and would be the one to take the cup from the pres- cnt holders.
 The prizes consisted of boxes of chocolates to the winners of high singles and high average; and a sil- yer loving cup to the winning team. The silver loving cup is to be known as the R. H. Wilcox trophy, being given by R. H. Wilcox of P. X F. Corbin Co.,. chairman of the athletic committee of the h. dustrial council. The winners were: High singles, Miss Mary Burkharth: high average. Miss Elsie Linn, and the league winners, New Britain Machine-Vulcan Iron team. The cup will be held by the Vulcan Iron Works for six months and then by New Britain Machine Go. for six months.
 The program concluded with the girls accepting the invitation of the Industrial Basketball league to their games in the "Y" gymnasium. The girls expressed a very keen desire to have a similar league next year and are very boastful of what they will be able to do.

Al Ventres, Twice Challenged By This Man, Again Says He's ReadS For Contest.

Some time ago there was . chal- lenge in the New Britain Herald for one, in which Twtster Kim wished to meet me on the wrestling mat and questions my right to a championship. As l have not heard any more from this Twister since I answered his challenge l have de- clded that this 1wister Is like all other cyclones and whirlwinds such as we have heard and seen in action here in the east for the past number of years, but was nothing more than lot Of noise and wind, and as they are of the eastern type they are not 10 be feared, as they are of calibre too small to give much resistance, even though they are twister, cy- clone or whirlwind wrestlers

VIKINGS TO DISBAND
We'll Known Athletic Club Decides To Retire From Active Social and Sports Life.

The Viking A. C., for dozen years one of the city's best known athletic and social organizations, is about to disband. At a recent meet ing the members of the club voted to disband on May 22, when they will sell their furnishings and turn all their funds over to the Children's Home. This will amount to several hundred dollars. it is believed. The reasons for the disbanding of this organization Is that many of the members have left the city, many others have married and resigned from active membership, while a majority of the others have other club and fraternal affiliations that take much of their time.
 The Viking A. c. was organized with 15 members back in 1913. It has been active in baseball, basket ball, bowling and also in soccer and in the pas has been represented by some fast athletic organizations. The club rooms at present are in old Holmes and Hoffman's building.
 At the outbreak of the war the club membership totalled 32 and Of these 29 members were in the army or navy service.

Better halves and bitter halves

GOT Marimony and My Lady Nieotiue)
 It makes great hit with your bet- ter half to renounce your bitter halves. You know; those cigars that get pun- gent or acid-smelling when the fire creeps past the middle.
 Butnowlet's talk about Blackstone! You see there isn't a bitter half in a thousand Blackstones. Every leaf of Havana used for Blackstone's fragrant looqo Havana filler is individually ex- amined for mildness and perfect burn- ing before it is rolled into Blackstone Cigars.
 That's one reason why nearly half of all Blackstones are bought in pocket packages of 5 or 10 cigars. You open your own box of foil-wrapped, factoyy- tye5h cigars when you buy a pocket package.
 Blackstone was a fine cigar E years ago. It was even finer 10 years ago. It is atits very finest in this year of 1925!
