Duncan Sisters Put
Over New Song Hits

Because of their acknowledged
success at putting over new songs
and making them hits overnight.
much interest is being shown in
the sizable bunch of new numbers
which the Duncan Sisters will in
troduce in "It's a Great Life /"
their first Metro Goldwyn-Maver
all-talking, singing and dancing
picture, filmed in technicolor.
which will open at the Orpheum

The songs were written specially
for them by Ballard Macdonald
and Dave Dreyer, a song-writing
team of the highest reputation
Macdonald has done scores of big
hits, but "The Trail of the Lone
some Pine" along would entitle
him to immortality in the world of
popular songs. Likewise Dreyer
has received thousands of dollars
in royalties from "Me and NV

SOVIETS PLAN Big
OUTLAY FOR VAST
SOCIALIST SCHEME

Moscow, Dec. 1S.-Figures quot
ed by Economic Life in an editorial
headed "Full Socialist Progress"
commenting on the just-ended ses-
sion of the Russian Congress, are
startling to the verge of incredu-
lily. The budget for the current
year is said to amount to 1921
100000 rubles (about $5,800,0O0,-
OOO), an increase of 1870 over
last year.
Of this amount nearly 100000
600 rubles (about $4,000 OO,OO0) is
assigned for Socialist construc-
tion," which includes urban and
agrarian industrialization, trans
port, identification and housing,
and 2,500,O0O,000 rubles (about ST.
250,000,000) for "social-cultural re-
quirements."
The socialized sector of the ma
TONS agriculture will reach al
most 100000 acres, about a fifth
of the total. This is little compar-
ed with the budget assignments
for agricultural machinery, which
provide for the completion of two
tractor factories, each with an an
nual production two and a half
times larger than the total pro.
duction in the United States last
year.

Non-lrrigated Farms
Win Most Prizes AT
Richland County Fair

Sidney, Dec. 11.-According to
the 1929 Richland county fair judg-
ing records, the farmers living on
the non-irrigated sections of Rich
land county won by all odds the
largest share of prizes in the small
grains and forage crops divisions,
the corn division, potato and vege-
table and also horticulture divi-
sions. The judges records fol
1929 show that in the small grains
and forage crops classification, 100
non-irrigated farmers won prizes
to 80 irrigated farmers. On pota-
toes and vegetables, there were IS
non-irirgated sections and in the
horticulture division % prizes were
won by non-irrigated farmers to
13 from the irrigated sections.
This, says the fair manager, is
a wonderful record for the past
year of winnings made by the non.
irrigated sections of the county
compared to the valley where wat
er could be put on at will. It goes
to show that the dry land sections
of Richland county are producing
as high quality products as the ir-
ripated sections and this is espe-
ciallv significant in the year of low
rainfall such as 1929 has been.
These fair records bring out the
fact that the non-irrigated sections
of the county are making better
AVERAGE in all of the products pro-
duced than the irrigated sections.

called Farmer-Labor legislators to
avoid any conformity to united ac-
tEon; IN other words each has en-
creased self determination" This
has given rise to a diffusion of
force which has taken all terror of
the opposition to the Farmer-La-
Dor block.
But this is not the worst of the
situation. Farmer-Labor legislators
become absorbed in petty legisla-
i've matters and wholly forget the
original purpose of the movement /:
they propose nothing of a funoa-
mental character to promote the
welfare of the wealth producers.
AS In the legislature, so it is in
city governments; labor represen-
tatlves at best are just honest, ca
pable officials and do nothing spe-
cial to differentiate them from the
opposition. Platforms which con-
tain declarations for vital changes
are wholly forgotten and seldom if
ever are any steps taken that lead
to a changed industrial order.
Somehow the crusading spirit is
dampened when Farmer-Labor rep
resentatives are elected to public
office and there seems to develop
a desire to please the enemy more
than to promote the welfare of the
common people. This is strikingly
illustrated in the city government
of Duluth; organized labor was the
prime factor in electing three OF
the five city commissioners in the
hope of getting certain definite
and reasonable labor measures en-
acted; but the three so-called labor
candidates have so far failed To
do anything toward carrying out
their pledges, but have found al
sorts of alibis for complying with
the requests of the opposition
forcesi
st. Paul labor has not met with
the disappointment that Duluth
has, but the result is not satisfac
tory and calls for a new deal. Re
sponsibility for the administration
of the city is so diffused and di
vided that labor commissioners arr
obliged to shoulder in a moral wa!
the shortcomings and delinquen
cies of the opposition; in fact the
very structure of the government
compels each commissioner to con
done the mismanagement of al
others in return for immunity from
criticism and interference.
The Farmer-Labor movement
whether city, county or state gov
! eminent. must assume an attitude
# uncompromising opposition Il
the present iniquitious industrial
conditions and should always striv,
TO enact measures of the worker
and weaken the power of the ex
ploiter. Unless this course is fol
lowed there is really no warran
for independent political action O
the wealth producers; there i
blame without benefit.
