According to the Industrial News
Bureau an anti-bolshevist meeting
was recently held in New York CITY
to hear Morris Gordin tell, why [
lost my faith in communist Russia. 4"
Newspaper reports stated that
"one-third of the six hundred per
sons at the meeting were women.
The audience applauded every point
Gordln made against present cond :
Tins in Russia, and there seemed to
be unanimous approval of his de-
claratlon that Russia is SLOWLY but
surely progressing toward a repub
lie of the United States of Russia.
The speaker, formerly a student
at the University of Chicago, was a
draft soldier in the American army
during the world war. Until 1921.
when he went to Russia, he was one
of the leaders of the New York
communist party. He returned to
this country last fall. Describing
his conclusions regarding his nearly
three years of experience in Russia,
Gordin said:
81 went there expecting to find a
heaven for thu people and for the
workers; instead, / found a hell.
The people have no say in their
government, and little if any free
dom In commercial or social activ-
tiles. 1t is all a sickening dead
level of political slavery, where tn
people are directed by little GROUP
of dictators.
The people may change this stu
alton at any time, but when [ left
they seemed everywhere. so far as
| noted, to be passively res2ntfuI.
too hopeless to assert themselves.
All around there was going on the
economic, industrial and moral ruin
OF Russia. In the meantime tn
leaders of this terrible situation are
holding on to the shreds of COM
munisrn in their visionary scheme
of getting, through propaganda
among other nationals, support for
communist domination. {
These selfish, misguided men.
now in control. have trampled Rus.
sla politically into big prison. q
red dungeon. Before the unfortun-
ate Russian people, most of whom
would like to end their sufferings
under this colossal failure, can ey-
pect any concrete help from other
countries they must show their re-
sentiment of this false doctrine bv
attacking it themselves"

CONSERVATION was manifest on
all faces when it was discovered
that the Vail Hotel building was
afi-e. 1t had been confidently ex-
pected by everyone that when the
four-story hotel building would burn,
the town would go with it, hence
the CONSERVATION.
The firemen soon had water on
the burning structure, but it was
plainly to be seen that the hotel was
doomed and all attention was paid
to keeping tn building dampened
and the neighboring structures wet.
The fire had started in the furnace
room from som causes unknown
and was gradually eating its way
between the studding towards the
roof. The fire burned fercely on
the inside of the top story and soon
the roof had been burned off. Nine
streams of water were at one time
deluging the building and it was to
this that is due holding the flames

The Indiana Tax Law Plan
now before the legislature, House
File No. $50 and Senate File No.
SIG, aims directly at home rule in
every place in the state excepting
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth.
1t would place in the hands of the
State Tax Commission the financial
destinies of every municipality, viii
lage, city or town in the state in
asmuch as it would give the Com
mission power to cut the tax levy
made by any municipality and tell
the taxpayers what should be spent
and how it should be spent and
whether or not bond issue for
needed improvements can be floate3.
In other words, the Tax Commits
sion would be mayor, councilmen,
assessor, treasurer and every Other
official for every place in the state.
This is fine prospect, especially
for the range towns and naturally
the officials are up in arms again
it. The Ely council was in st.
Paul last week and entered its pre-
test against the measure along with
hundreds of other officials. The
bill Is rotten measure and should
be killed. 1t will be, as we very
much hate to think there would be
dough heads" enough in the law
making body to pass such
measure.
