A HIGHLY INTERESTING EXPERIMENT
IS BEING WORKED OUT In RUSSIA.
ONFIICTIN,s reports come out Of Soy

ONFLICTING reports come out Of Soviet
Russia. That that great nation is develop
ing into a serious threat, industrially, to the rest
of the world is contended by some observers
Others hold just the contrary view. They main
tain it will take years for the Russian govern
ment to develop its nation to an industrial posi-
ton where It will be able to supply its own mil
lions with the needs of 4 rapidly improving
standard Of living and have surplus left to
compete in the world 5 markets.
An article Of unusual interest appears in
the January number of the Reviews Of Reviews
1t is an interview with Mr. w. j. Austin OF
Cleveland, head of the great international firm
of engineers and builders which bears his
name. The Austin firm is engaged in building a
$60,0OO,OO0 city in Russia, Transforming 5000
acres of raw land into great industrial center
Where $4,000 people may live and work. The
largest single enterprise in this city will be a
plant for the manufacture Of 10000 Ford cars
and trucks year These will be manufactured
by Russian engineers and workers by arrange
ment with Ford. 1t is not Ford enterprise.
Mr.. Austin and Mr. George A. Bryant, Jr.
executive vice president of the company, state
they were not much impressed with the idea of
building this industrial city when they were
first approached by Soviet officials However,
they finally undertook the huge enterprise and
now are frank to admit their views have been
greatly modified Mr.. Austin says there never
has been any evidence Of bad faith on the part

LAGUARDIA SPEAKS THE TRUTH

THIS paper has no great admiration for Rep
representive LaGpardia of New York but
according to newspaper reports he recently gave
ntterance to the truth when he condemned the
activity of Robert Lucas, director of the repub-
1ican national committee, in his controversy with
Senator Norris of Nebraska LaGuardia said
This is no time for the republican party to an
tagonize anybody, let alone faction. When the
progressives walk out of the republican party
the heart and brains walk out with them. All
my standpat republican friends agree Lucas was
all wrong and very ill-advised.
: We are not taking sides with Norris in his
attack upon President Hoover. He has belttlcd
himself i'll many Of the statements he has made
against President who is working hard to help
lead his country out of most serious depres-
SION But when LaGuardia says the progressives
are the heart and brains of the republican part
he is speaking the truth This nation would be
III most unfortunate position if its congress
were composed exclusively of the standpat re-
dictionaries of the East who are convinced all
Western States are backward" and Should have
mighty little to say regarding national legisla-
ton.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY BEFORE THEM

THE Montana legislature now III session al
Helena has wonderful opportunity to per-
form an outstanding service to the state. There
are three matters highly important to the vel
fare of the state that will require their careful
consideration and wise legislation.
One of these matters requires the speedy Ell
actment of the proposed bill authorizing the IS
suance Of anticiha tory warrants against gas tax
funds. Such legislation will make available with
in the next four years sums for highway con-
struction that will total approximately % mil
lion dollars. This large sum will make possible
the completion of the states highway construc-
ton program and will remove Montana from the
list Of backward states insofar as highway mat
tiers are concerned and will place it right III the
forefront Of those having modern highways.
This legislation has the further advantage OF
completing the state $ highway system in time
for some of us to enjoy it before death overtakes
us, after which we will take to the aerial route
ton of earthly highways
Another matter Of outstanding Importance
is legislation proposed by Montanas crime
commission, which has been working on this
matter the past two years. The commission will
recommend number of measures to improve
Montana's civil and criminal court procedures.
Such legislation is of the greatest Importance
and the commission and the legislature can per
form great service for the state by enacting
careful and wise legislation.
There is the further matter of the three mil
lion dollar bond issue for the construction of
new buildings and the improvement of old ones
at the various state institutions. Likewise there
is consideration Of the wise expenditure Of the
funds for the support of state educational insti
tutions made possible by the adoption Of the
3 mill levy referendum at the last general cleo
ton.
All these matters are Of peculiar import
ancc to the state. Those men who comprise the
Twenty second legislature of the sovereign state
Of Montana have a wonderful opportunity to
perform real service to great commonwealth,

Friedley bill, sponsored by Senator
Roy M. Friedley of Muncie, has
been sponsored by it's author for
more than year, having been
drawn up last year after Lowell JUS
tice, a member Of the Muncie high
school team had been declared in
eligible. Senator Kehoe introduced
his bill at the current session, short
ly after Brad Lair and two other
members of the JefferSonville team
had been declared ineligible.
1t is said that some of the strong
est opposition to the two measures is
coming from the districts which
these two senators represent.
Legal opinion may also aid in
delivering death blow to the pro-
posals. Several attorneys, when
questioned by The Times, have
stated it is their opinion the state
can not take over the finances OF a
private institution. It is their
opinion that the I. H. S. A. A. is a
private corporation, operated by the
high school principals and coaches
OF the state. Commissioner Trester
is silent on this point.
