similar action against all naturalized
citizens who become Communists. The
case has been pending for some time
and the government has sought to
secure deposition in various places to
aid 1t in proving Severino's Commun-
list Views. II seems not to have sue
ceeded in securing the testimony 1t
relies upon to make its case.
Light is thrown on the proceedings
by the fact that Severipo was natur-
allied in 1915, ten years ago, which
was before the Communist Party and
the Communist International existed,
and yet the contention of the govern
ment is that he secured his naturaiiza-
ton papers thru fraud because he
since has become a Communist and an
active worker in the Workers (Com-

Gudok Born in Battle.
The first issue of Gudok as a daily
newspaper appeared on May IL, 1920,
during the fierce battles of the Russ
ian workers and peasants against the
worlds bourgeoisie. 1t was during
the blockade and invasions, at the
time of the almost total destruction
of the economic life of the country
when Gudok was born.
The transport of Russia was in a
terrible condition. The Soviet govern
ment had no time to reorganize It,
everything in the country was being
used for the defense Of the revolution.
Some of the old officials Of the rail-
ways made use of this situation and
attempted still further to obstruct
transportation. They were sabotaging,
stealing, destroying.
Gudok began an offensive against
them. 1t began to expose them and
called upon the workers to do their
bit in exposing the enemies OF the
iev olution. The workers responded.
They began to write to Gudok. At
first they were hesitating, expecting
the editors to be "highbrows," and not
to pay much attention to letters writ
ten by half-illiterate workers. But
soon they found out that this was not
the case. The utmost attention was
paid to these letters. Tho workers
began to send in more letters, and
The circulation and influence OF the
raper began to grow.

Coast Jobs Get
Scarcer, Timber
Mills Shut Down

PORTLAND, Ore, May 27.-Along
with the usual agricultural layoff after
spring planting, comes a further re-
duction in timber operations. Cutting
has been greatly reduced, more mills
and camps closed and many night
shifts abolished. Operators claim so
to 70 per cent normal conditions and
the 4 to 5-day week prevails, with
more lowering of wages and a rumor
of entire cessation in the lumber in
+dustry. At least the capitalist press
here notes a marked decline" in en-
ployment.
The serious unemployment in Ore
gon prompts the farmers to offer as
low as S25 a month for general work.
Spring wages had been $40 to $50
a month.

example you have set to the workers
Of the world is bearing fruit, and in
the desperate onslaught against the

MOSCOW. May 27.-The central exc

cultural taxes for 1925-26. In COM

year, the taxes Of this year were cut
down to 2so million rubles only. Out
Of this amount 100 million rubles will
be devoted to village administration
and other needs In villages.
An interesting comparison can be
made of the taxes of pre-war times

TWO Million Dessiatlns Seeded in Corn
The Council of Peoples Commits
sariat of q. S. s. R. has accepted a
plan for the increase of the area to
be seeded with corn. According to
this plan, during the next 3 years the
area will be increased to 31a million
dessiatins. During 1925-26 the area
seeded with corn will amount to l.
100000 dessiatins. In comparison with
the last years area there will be an
increase of 100000 dessiatins. The
Council of Peoples Commissariat has
also pointed out the necessity Of TAX
ing steps toward the manufacture of
corn food products and by-products.
Condition of the Crops.
According to the latest bulletins of
the department Of agriculture, the
crops in the central provinces have
been greatly benefited by the rain
falls Of the last days and there is a
noticeable improvement in the win
ter crops. The winter crops in
UlKrainia show a considerable i'm
provement especially in these regions,
where the condition of the winter
crops are quite satisfactory. Winter
and spring crops in north Caucasus
are in a very good condition.
Reduce Price of Machinery.
In connection with the increased
production of agricultural machinery
and implements by the Soviet fac
tories, beginning May 1, prices on all
agricultural machinery and nipple.
ments will be reduced to pre-war
standards.
A considerable reduction will also
be made in fuel and lubricating oils.
Refrlgerators for Butter.
The work has been started on build.

ent parts Of Siberia. The butter col
lected at these various points will be
shipped to a huge main refrigerator
to be built in Omsk, where the sup
