book may result in "a self

publican Chairman Carl
Shipley observed last night
at the supper party that fol-
lowed the opening of the Ma
tional Symphony season.
Discovery last week that
the District Republicans were
selling $4,000 page ads in the
yearbook to corporations to
raise campaign funds stirred
up a controversy over the
legality of such proceedings.
Democrats pointed to the
law that said no corporations
could spend money for ad-
vertiSing in connection with
political campaigns for Pres
ident. Section 608 of the
amended Corrupt Practices
Act was cited.
But, said Mr.. Shipley, "the
Corrupt Practices Act of 1910
prohibits any expenditures
whatsoever by corporations
or labor unions for political
campaigns, political commit
tees, for anything to do with
presidential and vice presi-
dental campaigns"
"THE DEMOCRATS WHO
CRITICIZED me have cooled
of after studying the law"
said the G. o. P. chairman.
"because If I am wrong they
are going to have to refund
hundreds of thousands of dol
lars for advertising in the
1860 convention program. It's
prohibited by Section 6lO."
Labor unions as well as
everybody else were now try
ing to hush the whole thing
up, he said, but lawyer
Shipley is in favor of a con-
gressional amendment that
would take care of the situa-
ton, rather than continued
infringement of the law.

But last night the Hall Of
the Americas was nicely filled
with controversies over cam

seats in Constitution Hall,

The last three were linked
together. Howard Mitchell
was asked which of the two

how often had either attended
in the past.

groups are keeping close watch or
the Boggs Bill CHR 1929 which the
House Ways and Means Committee
approved several days ago.
One committee member, Rep.
Lee Metcalf of Montana, said the
bill sis primarily designed to en-
able commercial power companies
to attack public power at the tax
payers expense and to allow the
National Association of Manufac-
turers to finance tax-subsidized
'right-to-work' drives
The bill would reverse rulings by
the Federal Power Commission and
the Internal Revenue Service that
private power companies cannot
charge off the cost of anti-public
power propaganda advertising as bus
mess expenses for rate-making or
bax purposes. Under FPC and IRIS
ruling, the stockholders rate
payers or Uncle Sam must pay for
the ads.
The bill would permit corporations
10 deduct legislative and political adj
7ertising expenses from gross income,
hereby lowering their tax bills. Crit

reverse took place. 1t broke down in
the most backward country of all, in
Czarist Russia. Lenin had absolutely
nothing to build a government on.
He had no foundation to start on.
The question of nationalities added
greatly to the complications diff
ferent nationalities, with different
languages, some of them had even no
written language. But Lenin strug-
gled on with these problems, the civil
war ended somewhat, the foreign
troops withdrew back home.
Lenin died in 1924. Then two
schools emerged in the country, one
by Stain and the other by Trotsky.
Trotsky proclaimed that socialism
could not succeed in one country
alone but must have world revolu-
tion first. Stain insisted that they
could build socialism in one country
without a world revolution. 1t is evil
dent that both these leaders could
not live side by side in the same coun- !,
try. Stain won out. Trotsky was ex-
lied first to Turkey, then to Norway
and finally to Mexico City where he
was killed by his own secretary.

Voters To Pass On
Three Proposals AT
General Election

Two measures concerning the state
prison and third relating to terms
of service of various county, town
ship, precinct and municipal officers
will be before the Montana electorate
for consideration at the November s
general election.
The one money item will be five
million-dollar bond issue referendum
for the construction of a new state
prison at Deer Lodge.
The second measure concerning the
prison is a constitutional amendment
which would take from the State
Board of Examiners their ex-officio
responsibilities as a State Board of
Prison Commissioners by abolishing
that board.
The third proposal TO be considered
by the voters is also constitutional
amendment which would increase
from two to four years the terms of
various county and local officials,
such as county attorneys, mayors,
etc., who were not included in an
earlier constitutional revision in the

The Soviet government is only AZ
years old next October. They always
refer to the October revolution, but
the actual revolution began Novem-
Der z, 1917. At that time the Rus
slams were using the Gregorian cal
endar which was Ia days earlier. In
1919 Russia adopted our calendar.
Up to this period Russia was ruled
by the Cars, the most despotic rulers
of them all. A revolution broke out
in 1905 but failed. Then the First
World War came along and brought
Russia into it ON our side. From 1914
up to April, 1917 the Russians fought
valiantly against the superior Ger
man army, but they were killed by
the thousands by the forces led by
Field Marshall Won Hindenburg.
In March the Czarist government
fell and a provisional government was
formed by Alexander Kerensky and
with the approval of Britain, France
and the United States. This govern
ment was too weak. to measure UP |
to the task before it. Then the sol |
diers threw away their, guns at the |
front and started for home and Rus
sia sued for peace. A most humiliat-
ing peace treaty was signed ait Brest
Litovsk and Russia was eliminated
from the war, This was also welcome
news for the Germans as they could
now transfer all their forces from the
eastern front to the west. A provision
