COMMUNISM AND PROSPERITY

A we'll ~intentioned eastern economist
is urging that everything possible be done
by America to enhance the material well-be-
ing of the Russian people, his theory being
that the more prosperous they become the
quicker communism will vanish from the
face of that unenlightened country. His
theory might be sound if it were at all pos
sible for the Russian people to become pros
porous, which, as it happens, is not the case.
Everything in Russia belongs to the state.
The people are given a small monetary re-
ward in return for the individual efforts they
put forth to create either through industry
or agriculture. Everything they consume is
allotted. Under such conditions, Russian
people can never become prosperous as in
dividuals. Only the government itself may
reach that condition.
1t is quite true, of course. that if indi-
vidual Russians could become wealthy and
enlightened the course Of communism
might easily be changed until it ended in OBJ
%livion, but the state controls all money, all
schools, all books-in fact, even Russia's
ion more or less forbidden, and the soviet
seeing to it that only books approved by it
can be used in such schools as Russia boasts
added to the fact that under the communist
ic system everything belongs equally to
everybody, the theory Of this economist is
impossible Of achievement.
The fact remains, then that by helping
Russia, America or any other nation will be
hurting itself in the long run, for Russian
ambition looks candidly forward to the day
when it will be possible for communism to
bring about a world industrial revolution, do
away with republican forms of government
alike and bring the whole world into a state
such as exists at present under Dictator Sta
lin and his associates in Moscow.-Colum-
bus Dispatch.

THE UNITED FARMERS LEAGUE

Communist are busy organizing the
farmers in various states under the head or
the Farmers Committee of Southwest.
Among the organizers of the militant action
group is B.. H. Ladeurdale Of Breckenridge,
Texas, an organizer for the communists in
the United States, who also holds consider
able friendship among the socialist and GER
tain Jewish ranks in the United States. The
new movement in the United States is car
ried on through the United Farmers League
of New York Mills, Mimi, and other bran
ches Of the communist organization in the
United States and directed by the Moscow
agrarian movement. The proposed platform
which has been published and circulated in
all southwest states and in great quantities
especially in Texas, says among other things
that the purpose of the organization is to
form an alliance of farmers and workers to
overthrow capitalism and to fight land
owners and capitalists" They severely con-
denim the u. S. Farm Board and demand
that the struggle of the farmers be directed
to the overthrow of the government and

WEEDS A MENACE

Each winter when there is an abund-
ance of snow, there are untold complaints
about the impossible roads, owing to snow
being lodged in the weeds along the road
sides, and which packs into the roadway so
that auto travel becomes impossible.
The winter roads are principally
for the benefit of the farmers, and in many
instances horses are not always available.
It then becomes necessary to go afoot or stay
home.
Ii will not be long before our territory
will be covered with a white blanket and
this may remain with us for many long
months Fall is usually a short session with
us. This year there is not SO much work as
usual at this season as when conditions are
favorable.
Along almost every road in Sheridan
county weeds have been allowed to mature.
THESE are ready to trap the snow as it falls,
and it will not take much to slow up all car
traffic unless this weed situation is remedied.
With less work this fall than usual, it would
profit the country residents to cut, rake and
burn the weeds along their nearby roads.
This will, in most instances, prevent the
snow from lodging or blocking the roads.
Our county officials are unable, through
lack Of funds, to nave such work done. The
surveyor and county commissioners realize
the Importance of Kidding our roads of the
weed nuisance. The road funds are such they
cannot use any money for this purpose.
However, if the farmers wish to clear
up the roads for use during most of the win
ter, by d~evoting a day or two along their
neighborhood roadways, this vexatious pro-
blem can be taken care Of easily. The time
saved these same farmers with open roads
during the winter season will more than re-
compense them for this gratis labor at this
time. 1t cannot be ooked upon as free work
for the country as it means SO much to each
farmer.
In many instances where the weeds are
dry, it will not become necessary to employ
a mower or rake. Matches will do the trick
quickly, but not as satisfactorily as where
the weeds are all raked together and burned.
A little patch Of weeds left along such a road
way may block traffic considerably 50 those
who intend to clear up these weeds must
make a good lob Of it.

REA[TOR BOARDS
GROWTH IS SHOWN
Membership in Present Fis-
cal Year Reported at
TAT by President.

Membership in the Washington Real
Estate Board showed an increase dur
ing the past year, Arthur Carr, presi-
dent reported today. At the beginning
of the present fiscal year, which opened
October 1, 1880, there were 1879 real
estate Offices listed as active members
of the board, whereas today there are
lat.
Mr.. Carr said it was encouraging and
of special significance that the mem
berShip of the board was sustained dur
ing the past year, notwithstanding the
many disturbing factors resulting from
the generally depressed business condi-
tons.
Because a large number Of real
estate brokers and statesmen have with
drawn from the field during the past
year, the potential increase Of strength
of the board is larger than the mere
increase in numbers Of members indi-
Gates, 1t is explained.
At the present time the membership
represents larger percentage of real
estate men of Washington than ever
heretofore, the statement continues.
Since its organization the membership
has never exceeded its present total,
except during the boom year 1928-29.
Mr.. Carr said the present membership
demonstrates the value of board serv-
ice and the soundness of its principles
as recognized by those included in its
roster,

Work Of Inlay Group.
The new draft of the proposed model
mechanics lien law is the work of a
committee Of the National Conference
on Uniform State Laws, headed by
Charles v. INLAY, Washington lawyer,
which has been working in conjunction
with similar committee Of the Depart
ment Of Commerce, Of which Dan H.
Wheeler is secretary.
The national conference Is composed
Of commissioners appointed by Cover
nors of various States and local dele
gates named by the District Comission-
ers are Mr.. INLAY. Walter C. Clephane
and Frederick S. Tyler.
The original committee of the De-
partment Of Commerce, which set to
work on the subject in 1925, was ap-
pointed by President Hoover, then Sec
rotary of Commerce.
Mr.. INLAY reports that the latest
draft OF the proposed law has been ap-
proved by both the Commerce Depart
ment Committee and the Mechanics
Lien Law Committee of the National
Conference on Uniform State Laws.
The District laws. Mr.. INLAY reports,
now provide that a lien against a prop
erty can be released by the filing Of
bonds to cover each case of claims as
they are filed in District Supreme Court.
In practice this means, he points out.
that bonds are employed for the most
part in cases where there have been
