ASKOV
Tells of Soviet Russia.

Hans Abrahamsen, who formerly
lived at Ord, Nebr.. handed into the
Askov American an excerpt from the
Ord newspaper in which is given the
principal parts of a talk at a Legion
function at that place by Delbert
Chapman, an acquaintance of Mr..
Abrahamsens. Mr.. Chapman had
been stationed at the Embassy in Rus
STA as the ranking medical officer OF
the United States Marines. Follow
ing are remarks made by Mr.. Chap
man:
1.-THE government Of that country
is all powerful. and permits must be
had for even such trifles as filling
the gasoline tank on ones car or put
ting a one-foot length of pipe on
the plumbing, etc. Beds are quite
likely to be occupied by one worker
during the day and another worker
during the night. for living accommo-
dations are crowded as all sizes Of
families are granted quarters of equal
size.
American money is at a premium,
Russians are glad to trade for 1t, as
it will buy many items unlawful to
sell for rubles or Russian money.
But if either Russians or Americans
are found with the money of the other
nation ON their persons, penalties are
very severe. Automobiles made in
that country are poor makeshift af-
fairs, fall to pieces in couple Of
years, he said. The spy system con-
tinues. everything is reported to
the government. If you do not give
information against your mother to
the government when she makes an
untimely remark. perhaps your broth
er will and you will die, so will your
mother. Everyone spys on everyone
else.
The people have great deal OF
dysentery, due to impure water and
insufficient vegetables, ETC., in the
diet All water must be boiled to
be fit to drink.
''Mr. Chapman said he did not like
Russia as well as some other coun-
tries and stated Finland as his idea
of a foreign country In which to live
if choice were to be made"

CITY SUGGESTED
AS BUREAU SITE
|. C. C. Asked to Establish
Truck Control Office
in Indianapolis.

indianapolis was suggested today
as the site for one of Is district
Offices to be established by the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
administer the new Federal truck
laws.
D. F. Mitzner, Indiana Motor
Traffic Association, Inc, secretary,
has invited John L. Rogers, COM
missions motor carrier bureau di-
rector, to establish the office here
and has sought support of Senators
Frederick VanNuys and Sherman
Minton
Proposal of Indianapolis as "the
most logical point for the estab-
Lshment of such an office" is based,
Mr.. Mitzner pointed out, on the fact
that Indiana SIS the key state ge-
graphically for all exchange of
highway transportation between the
metropolitan districts of the Middle
West and the East.
Approximately rs per cent of the
transportation of merchandise for
hire over Indiana highways is in
volved in interstate commerce., . he
said, land a review of the records
will undoubtedly show that there are
more interstate certificates and per-
mits granted by the Public Service
Commission of Indiana than by the
regulatory commissions of either
Ohio or Kentucky"

LIQUOR TAXES
SHOW INCREASE
Total Receipts for Fiscal
Year Show Gain of
S1,7OO,971.

Total receipts from all sources
collected by the State Alcoholic
Beverages Commission increased
81, 700,971 in the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1885, over the 1884 fiscal
year, it was announced yesterday by
Paul P. Fry, excise administrator.
Total collections in the 1885
fiscal year were S4.374,835. as con-
trasted to $2,673 1868 in 1884.
Distributions include 1851 $50 to
cities, towns and counties, 81 ,802 $50
to schools and $487, O4O to the state
general fund.
A total of S1,274,187 in available
for distribution Dec. l under the
new liquor law which changed dis
tribution of funds from a monthly
to Semi-annual basis.
Expenses for the fiscal year were
$69,762, representing % per cent
of collections. This was slight in
crease over the 1884 expenses, due,
Mr.. Fry explained, to the setup of
the new liquor law.
Broken down, the collection repre-
scented the following subdivisions
Beer licenses, S1,324,895; malt and
wort taxes. $5095; wine taxes, S54,-
$50; liquor licenses, $741,157; all

WPA FUNDS TO
LIFT BURDEN IN
STREET REPAIRS
Taxpayers Unable to Pay to
Receive Benefit of
Relief labor.

indianapolis property owners I'M
able to pay their assessments on
street improvements will be relieved
of such responsibility by use of
WPA funds, the Works Board agreed
today.
The decision came in the forma-
ton of definite policy by the
board to obtain 100000 Federal
funds for street improvement prof.
ects.
Where property owners are will
ing and able to pay their assess
ments. street Improvements will be
handled through the regular con-
tract manner, the board decided.
Under this system, the property
owner pays half and the city half
on widening streets, while the city
assumes rs per cent and the prop
perty owner IS per cent of the cost
on resurfacing and reconstruction
of streets.
Where work is done with WPA
funds, there will be no assessment
on the property.
Federal funds already are being
put to use in the improvement of
w. Michigan-st, from Indiana av
to White River. Two other pending
projects we're presented to the board
today by Henry B. Steeg, City En-
gineer.
The improvements are on Brook
side-av, between 18th and Rural-sts,
and 16th-st, between Alabama and
DelaWare-stS.
In these instances, the board said
the property owners are able to pay
their share of the cost.

Huge Gain in Income Of
Farmers Is Cited in

things the farmer had to sell would
enable him to buy the things that
he needed to support life and to
afford him a fair degree of Secur-
ity.
From the summer of 1929 to the
time when I took office in 1888
the prices of farm products, that Is
the things the farmer had to sell
had declined by 81 per cent, while
the prices of the things the farmer
had to buy had fallen 35 per cent
Thus, the farmer, on the average
had to use twice as many bushels
of wheat, twice as many bushels OF
corn. twice as many hogs, twice as
many bales of cotton. twice as much
of all of his products in order to
buy the same amount of things that
he needed.
Strives TO Hold Gains
The closing of that gap was an
important objective of this Admin
iStration. and we shall bend our
efforts to hold the gains that we
have made. The gap which was The
measure of the farmers despair and
distress after two and a half years
of effort, in large part has been
closed"
AS to lifting the debt burden, Mr.
Roosevelt asserted that while that
burden had not been eliminated, it
has been deciSively and definitely
lightened," observing that loans to
agriculture since May 1888. have
totaled more than 1,600O00,OO0.
In the main the Roosevelt address
was an accounting of his agricul-
tural stewardship. He traced the
formation of the AAA. praised the
farmer for his ability to agree upon
definite recovery plans and prom
iSed amendments in the act from
time to time to meet changing
world conditions.
