Russia Changes Policy THE Russian peasants have triumphed over the theories of the working class control. The bolsheviks have been first of aD the proletariat of the t-- i I.. ii era wnu nuiuuer umy a siuaii percemac ux xvuiaia a uur lions. The masses ate still the peasants of the steppes, the .Agriculturists, the stock-raisers. Fcr years there has been controversy between the peasant classes and the Soviets. Russia demanded foreign goods, could pay for them only with exports after its stock of czarist gold was exhausted. So Russia drained the farms and ped it out of the country. The hungry, peasants in the country food for themselves and seed for and cows died for lack of fodder. The peasants worked out their own problem. They call ed no conferences, that would have brought them only death. They made no appeals to Moscow. They simply re fused to raise the crops. And where grain was planted the peasants found ways of secreting stores for their own re quirements; and deliveries to the food commissioners fell off. This winter has seen much distress in the cities. Now Vyacheslaff M. Molotoff, president of the union council of people's commissars, and Joseph Stalin, leader of the communist party, have issued a decree cancelling the grain collection system which has irritated the peasants, and substituted a method of ' tax in kind". In what way this is different is not known; but the fact that a change is made shows that the communist leaders have had to bow to the will of the peasants. The state farms and great collectives have not succeed ed in supplying ample food and an export surplus. Russia exports far less than she did in Czarist days. Meantime faction shows its head in Russia. In spite of frequent purgings, many high-placed officials plot against Stalin's control. There have been many alterations of policy in late months. The grip of Joseph Stalin seems not so firm as when he first went into power on Lenin's death.

I feel that I waa. la a way, a friend of his. for in those intervals when bo saw clearly and when the revs paper which he had edited wa araln in his thoughts we visited together on common ground. Every community hss its out standing men. This is true, more particularly, of communities in their early development. In a city of thousands the individuals who seem vital to Its life and pro gress may usually be counted oa the fingers of one hsnd. But outstanding men differ in the manner of their outstand ing. Suggested by a current motion picture, there has been much re miniscent talk in Salem during the past week of Horace Tabor of Denver, who waa an outstand ing cltiten In the Colorado coun try. Compare Horace Tabor with Ashaet Bush. Tabor was a gam. bier whom fortune smiled upon for a time, but who, when for tune, or lack, no longer Bmiled. became pitifully helpless. Busk was shrewd, far-seeing, dynamic. He planned and labored for com munity development because his food sense told him that thus would his personal benefits be enhanced. And when ha depart ed from this life he left an in stitution which Is perhsps clos er to the lives and Interests of mora Marlon county folks than is aay ether. Aa elderly man said to me not long ago, "Ashael Buah was a man without sentiment." I da aot think this Is entirely true. His newspaper of long ago must have been more to him than a mere means to aa end. Else why ia bis failing days did he still carry It la his thoughts? Furthermore, during those vis its to the little printing office, he sometimes whistled. Ill not say ha was much of a whistler. Like General Grant, ho did the whistl ing and let the tune take care of itseU. But tko point is that a nun who ta entirely devoid af sentiment never whistles tor mu sic's sake, as 4 am st.ro Mr. Bush whistled.
