In the fields of Hopiorsk were not only the
peasants. Every gind of bridage poured into
the villages city workers, students, profess
sors, judges, bookkeepers, young Communists,
to help the collective farms. brigade of
opera singers from Leningrad was touring the
Budarino district to sing for the festive pro-
cessions that opened the sowing.
Shock Brigades.
"Brigades of Young Communists, city bred
youths and madens were following harrow
for the first time in their lives, under the
laughing instruction of the peasant boys and
girls. Their Party work was not merely to
help the collective farm with labor, but to
strengthen the local organization of Young
Communists.
Zone of the most ambitious of all these pro
jects is the Socialist Farm City of Filonova,
which is being built on local funds plus gov,
eminent credits, under the general manage
ment of the Timiryasev Agricultural Academy
of Moscow. A board of Is farm experts is
in permanent charge of the task; Professor

"This plan was originated by the minds of

tural School. In the days to come they say
the work of sowing and reaping will be done
by organized groups going on. from the cities

WHILE the Fish committee is on vacation,
the capitalist press is filling the gap with
odds and ends of fairy tales, hokum and plain
"bull," which, while ridiculous, are designed
quite deliberately at continuing the war propa-
ganda against the only effective leadership
the working class has in its struggle-the
Communist Party.
Hence, on the front page of the New York
Times we find on Tuesday the absurd lie that
as the headline runs "Soviet Troops Kill 200
Strikers in Odessa After Workers Hold Bari
cades All Night Clearly this is meant to
keep up the "forced labor" lie which the fascist
Matthew Woll and Secretary Stimson are
spreading.
But what workers expect from the
Times which hires member of the socialist
party especially to write up it's lies about the
Communist Party and its activities?
Then the World on Wednesday takes respon-
sibty in an editorial for a "story from Rus

in the World or any other paper we can find.
This editorial, with a touch of diseased erot-
icism, pretends to be sorrowful essay on
human fraility, but weaves the ridiculous fairy
tale about Stain Sin fury" sending his son
under guard" to the Caucasus because the boy
married a seamstress" who, of course, has
fundamentally disappeared"
But what can workers expect from the
world, whose volube lies about the Commu-
nists can only be matched with it's silence

Thus Anna Louise Strong, journalist who

Union describes the 1880 spring sowing at a
collective farm in Hopiorsk in the Lower volga
region. In her vivid pamphlet, Modern Farm
ing: Soviet style, prepared for the Labor Re-
search Association and published by Interna-
tional Pamphlets, she tells of the peasants life
in collectives and of the new farm cities that
are rising. Here are few excerpts from her
story:

With Park Commission on De-

John v. Davies of New York, a con-
sulting engineer, belonging to the firm
of Jacobson e. Davies, conferred yes
terday with members of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion and other officials of the Federal
Government interestedS in the plan to
beautify the ground around the base
Of the Washington Monument.
Congress at its last session provided
funds for this purpose. 1t was rather
an intricate plan, but the main outlines
are terraces and a great flight of steps
facing the White House.
The changing of the plans around the
base of the Monument, are to conform
to the approaches to the Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge and the Lincoln Me-
mortal and make the whole thing an
architectural and parking unit attractive
to the eye.

Trunk Highway Pavement
Is Controlled by State
Permits Must Be Secured Before
Excavations Under Them Can
Be Made

Before excavations are made for
water or sewer connections or for
toher purposes, in city or village
streets which are designated as
trunk highways, permits must be
obtained from the Highway de-
partment's district superintendent,
says a highway bulletin.
The first purpose of this is to
prevent accidents which often oc-
cur if such excavations are not
marked with proper warning signs
and lights at night. The second is
to see that the pavement or other
surface material is restored
promptly. Usually the applicant is
required to deposit a certified check
as a guarantee that the work viii,
be done promptly and properly.
To prevent unnecessary teaIihg
up of pavements, the highway dc
partment requires that sewer and
water connections be made before
pavements are put in. Business
and residence growth, however, has
a tendency to follow trunk highway
streets, requiring water and sewer
extensions and connections. The
Highway department insists that
such work shall not create q
traffic hazard.

Attorney General Holds
That the State Is Liable
Says Minnesota Rural Credit
Bureau Must Pay Taxes on
Land Taken Over

The Minnesota rural credit bu-
reau may be forced to pay between
S1500O0 and 100000 a year in
taxes on land held by the bureau
in various countries in the state as
the result of a judgement of $4,000
returned against the state in Polk
county, according to w. A. Mon
tague, assistant attorney general.
AS result of the decision of
Judge William A. Watts, Crooks
ton, the state is required to pay
Polk county $4,000 in taxes for one
year on twenty-nine farms held by
the Credit Bureau in that county
which fell delinquent last January.
The farms were taken over on fore
closed mortgages.
The Polk county action is a test
case and indications are it may be
carried to the Minnesota supreme
court. Under provisions of the con-
stitution, state lands used for pub
lie purposes are not taxable. The
state and Rural Credit Bureau
have contended the land held by the
bureau is public land and therefore
not taxable.
Polk county in it's action, held
the farms taken over by the bureau
are not public land and therefore
subject to taxation. This conten-
ton was upheld by Judge Watts
and he returned judgment accord
ingly.

High pressure tires produce
