NEW YORK, Aug. 10. (AP) If
Leon Trotzky la behind a terroristic
plot against the Soviet government,
aa charged in Moscow, It will not be
the Jl rat time that "Napoleon of Bol

power hla hated rival, Dictator Jo

After Lenin's death Stalin selred
and held the dictatorship which !

TrotJty claimed for hlmaelf. The
battle which ensued between these
personalities has provided one of the
lnndmarkfl of history.
Long In rUIIti
For the paat 15 years, nearly tn of
which have been spent in exile,
Trotzky has directed hla flaming
shaft at Stalin from hidden places.
Despite his absence rom Rumla, he
has been feared there, Just a a his
name can nee a shudder to pass
through the cabinets of Europe.'
More than once he haa been charg

Trotzky'e life has been filled with
storm and strife, it haa been a pro
cession of vicissitudes which have
carried him with violent swings from
prison to supremo power, from pov
erty to plenty, until today ho la a

eer of Leon Trotzky, the revolutionist

who for 30 years waa In Europe aa
son. Russia, In 1877, the son of a
Jewish chemist. He began his revolt
against society at the age of 16, when
he waa expelled from school on the
charge of having desecrated 4 sacred
Ikon, an Image of the orthodox Rus
sian church.
He wu exiled to Siberia twice, but
escaped each time.
He waa expelled from one country
after another, finally he came to
New Vork where he atruggled for ex
latence until he returned to Russia
tn 1017 to Join the revolution.
Prom being "Just a man of the
streeta," Trotzky rose rapidly In power
until he was second only to Lenin.
Trotzky appeared the logical succes
sor to the dictator, and made no
secret of the fact that he so regarded
himself., Howover. he overlooked an
other and stronger leader Joseph
Stalin. .
Ousted by Stalin
When Lenin was stricken with
paralysis, Trotzky assumed' virtual
dictatorship, but he did not hold It
leng. After Lenin died, Stalin as
sumed power. There followed a fierce
warfare between the two, until Stalin
finally forced his opponent Into exile
in Turkey.
Despite the fact that he was suf
fering from , Incipient tuberculosis,
malaria, heart trouble and gout,
Trotzky worked Incessantly on his
writings and on hla schemes.
In 1032 the Soviet government for
mally decreed his banishment "for
all time.
Shortly after Trotzky'a exile, he
waa reported to be one of the leaders
of a vast conspiracy to unseat Stalin.
Russia Complains '
The next year, Russia complained
to Turkey about TTotzky's activities.
It waa unofficially said that serious
economic sabotage, aimed at the
Stalin regime, was going on tn the
Soviet under Trot&ky'a direction.
In I93i Trotzky was charged by
Moscow with being linked to a plot
against Stalin's life.

about the wisdom of that deadly
stunt, for UiO puzzled student of re

scrutable reason this quaint trick
was omitted altogether from the 1920

some lowbred critic laughed out loud
at the absurd pretenses of the Amer

this funny business?. Anyway, it was
dropped In 1939 and hasn't been re

In the correct method of applying

In the Incorrect method as taught

more satisfactory for taking pictures

One thing Mr. Morgenthau neglect
ed to mention In his tax letter was
that the relief appropriation is not
expected to last through the year.
It waa well understood in congress
that the current relief appropriation
will be Insufficient to carry Mr. Hop
kins through until next June 30 at
the present rate of expenditure.
Thus, while Mr. Morgenthau may
or may not refrain from asking for
more taxes, he will have to seek it
deficiency appropriation for relief.
Mathematicians have figured that,
at the present rate of relief expendi
tures, the deficiency will be upwards
of 9300,000,000.

Calls Coughlin "Judas.
To the Editor:
Why Is It that the press of the
United States, when speaking of this
man Coughlin. calls him the Reverend
Father Coughlin? A man who seta
himself up as a man of God and a
teacher of the religion of Jeeu Christ
and don't pretend to live up to any
part of tt, a man who can associate
wth the lowest, who will sit and listen
to him call our noble president a
communist and not only that but
a liar and betrayer. Fine language
for a man of God Isn't it?
In my opinion It la thla man who
wears the robe of a prleat, that is
Uie liar and betrayer. He has the gall
to make poor. Innocent people think
that he can take the place of Jesus
Christ and forgive their sins and pray
them out of place called purgatory,
regardless of the sins they commit.
and take every dollar they are able
to pay, for doing It. Talk about Judaa
Lncarlot. If he 1 not a Judas there
never wa one on the face of the
earth. And he la sure gathering In the
shekels, the same a Judas did only
on a much larger scale.
Tt is my humble opinion he will
sometime stand up before a Judge
that will give him some pretty hard
questions to answer.
However, X Just want to say that
those words, "liar and betrayer." spell
hla doom. He will be accused on the
face of the earth and win go down
to the dust from which he sprung,
unwept and unhonored.

Day s News
By FUA'K JENKINS
IF you want to shudder, read th.a
dispatch, which come from Hon
daye, in France. Just over the border
from Spain:
"Rebel warships bombarded
Xrun and fian Be'oaatlan today and
Spanish loyallata were r eported
executing fascist hostage in re
taliation. "Loyalist had served an ulti
matum that the first shell from
a rebel warship would be the sig
nal for massacre of the prisoner
held aboard two steamer in the
Bay of Biscay harbor and fron
tier report said the executions
had begun."
THINGS like that ore expected when
aavages fight savage. The bloody
rlcloueneas of this Spanish civil war
makes us wonder If the world Is slip
ping back into savagery.
GA.50L1NE taxes In Oregon amount
ed to more than million dol
lar In July the first time tn the
history of the state that ha hap
pened. Gasoline taxes for the first seven
months of thla year totaled 95,769,
755.36. Since 1919, gaaoline taxes col
lected In Oregon have amounted to
976,898,308.
That Is a lot of money.
STILL, the nextVlme you are In
clined to be burned up about
paying five cent every time you buy
a gallon of gasoline, go out and drive
100 miles or so over a rough, dusty
road.
By the time you get back, five cents
a gallon for good xoxir will seem
cheap.
THIS 1 a good point to remember:
Good roads cost a lot of mon
ey. The money to pay for good rondc
haa to be raised by. taxation aa all
public money must be raised. But
good roads are WORTH a lot of mon
ey. No sensible person complain about
paying taxes for something that 1
worth all It cost.

A rumor la going the rounds that
he la planning to depopulate the
the drouth-stricken great plains coun

fast address at Amarlllo, Texas, th
other day he asserted: "All this talk
about depopulation of the greet plains
la foolish. We don't want to depopu
late the country; we want to fortify tt
against drouth."
In the Middle West you know, it
lsnt good politic to talk about de
populating the great plains. Nobody
wanta the country in which every
thing he owns is Invested to be de
populated. OF course, under the bcnlficent New
