The “SH*re-the-WeaIth” Plan in Russia. plw, of v a ter- Americans who are tempted to fol low “Hooey" Long’s preaching and advocate a “share-the-weahh” plan in Amerioa would: do well to acquaint themselves with cond!ition g in Russia, which has followed such a course for the past 18 years. In an addres a in New York City a few days ago, Robert L. Ripl “Believe It or Not" fame, drew TiWe picture of life in that country of the Communists, pointing out that while the Russian leaders have confis cated a total of 40 'bUlion g of dollars under the guise of sharing the wealth, 80,000,000 Russians have starved to death—four million in 1932 in the Ukraine, the one-time "granary of the world”—and other millions face the same ghastly fate. He says in part: “Professor L. Tarassevich, noted Russian sociologist, in an official re port to the League of Nations, says that 30,000,000 Russians have starved V to death since the country turned com munistic. This astounding figure is substatiated by Fridihjof Nansen, head of the world organization of the Red Cross and delegate of the League of Nations to Russia. “Such are the conditions existing Aoday in the ‘Communistic paradftse* which has practiced for eighteen years a ‘share-the-wealth’ plan such as ad vocated by some of our political ‘cure- alls.’ “In 1917 the Communislg seized-the wealth of Russia. They ‘liquidated’ capitalism and destroyed the educated classes. They murdered! the rich— stole their wealth—seized all the gold, ailver and precious stones—and con fiscated all private property of every description. They took 500 million dol lars in gold) from the national treasury (the largest stock of gold* in the world «t that time). They grabbed another • 60 millions in gold from Rumania. They confiscated! 800 millions in Ameri can property. “They destroyed ail religion and looted the churches, taking all the gold, tapestries, priceless'^jaintings and precicus stones valued a£ 20 bil lions of dollars—all in all, a grand- to tal of 40 billions of dollar s was con fiscated from the people. “In addition they utterly repudiated •bout 11 billions of dollars in loans frftm France, England, Belgium and the United States." “Then,” he continues, “after wp- propriating all the conceivable wealth in Russia in the gigantic scheme of ‘sharing-the-wealth,’ believe it or not, there is not a single workingman in the Soviet Union today who owns an automobile—or his own home—or has 5,000 rubles in the bank—as per the formula of our political demagogues. “The Russian ‘pied pipers’ if 1917 led the people on with promises of liberty, prosperity and equal division of wealth. Yet today—after eigh teen ycar g of Commuism—there is ut terly no wealth, no liberty, and! in stead of prosperity they have starva tion." Conditions are much worse than un iter the rule of the czars, Mr. Ripley -says, and a thousand time s more peo ple are now being exiled to Siberia than under the old regime. As for pensonfd liberty, read this: “His (the workingman’s) freedom «f movement is denied him. He can’t from one village to another. He ^•n't quit hi g job. He can’t take a day off. Without warning, he is lia ble to be arrested, torn from his fami- Ijr, herdied into a freight car and sent iteouaands of miles away, where he is forced to labor under inhuman condi tions in some concentration camp of Northern Russia.". f , Mr. Ripley concludes his indictment wf Communism ami “share-the-wealth" g>kns as follows: “Yes, I've mingled with the peoples <4 178 different countries'of the world Ya my travels and I know that despite depression—which i 8 world-wide— United States still has more pros- ; more freedom, more tolerance more happiness than any other in the world.

Blue Ridge and Alleghany Mountains. The first automobile ever rebuilt in this section was in town on Thursday. The work was done in the well equip ped Howard Shops at Blackville, even to the reboring of the cylinders and making new pistons. The rejuvenated -fc.o auto is in every respect fully as good a s when it came from the works of the makers, having all the power needed and some to. spare. It made the run from Blackville in 30 min utes, including two stops, one to chase and catch a flying hat that the high- wind whirled away many steps.

Emergency agricultural teachers employed by the South Caro lina ERA and working under the supervision of vocational agricultural teachers sejected by the Static Depart ment of Education, are devoting a great deal of their time to the rural rehabiliation program throughout the State, according do B. F. Owens, BainweM County administrator. Additional evening schoolS*lre held by the emergency teachers for re habilitation clients and other farmers within the patronage area of their respective schools. The emergency •teachers follow the evening classes with visits to rehabilitation clients where they are shown how to get the best results from agricultural pur suits. Tehy may help to cull the client’s chickens. They may showifatm how to terrace his land. They may aid him in pruning his fruit trees. They may assist in innumerable other problems which the client wishes to be solved. In each county the rural rehabilf? tation division has a county supervis or, who i a administratively responai- ble to the county relief acAninis'tcation. The work of the emergency teachers is especially helpful to these county supervisors as they are able to assist in carrying out details which the supervisors do not have time to do. The vocational agricultural teacher s selected to direct the work of the emergency agricultural instructors are very enthusiastic over the work being accomplished by the ERA teachers. Usually the agricultural teacher s meet wkh the emergency teachers twice a month to discuss their work. Each emergency teacher is required to for ward a daily report giving the name of the client visited, the work that ia accomplished, the general attitude of the client, the manner in which the client receives the instructions and other data. ^.Htfiment against the proposed law is fallacious. Our citizens ^would' promptly oust a teacher who advocates disobedience | or irreligion, who is immoral or who ha g a loathsome or contagious dis ease. Are they willing that the un-Ameri- ean doctrines of Communism and its handmaiden, Atheism, be taught their children? Would they not rather be assured that their children are being taught by loyal Aipeftcan citizens ’ proud of their birthright and anxious to assert it ? JOHN W. LANG. The Citadel, Charleston, S. C. Aged Cliff Ruins %ffer£o% Editor, The People-Sentinel: I understand that some teacher g in the tax-supported schools of this State are objecting to the passage of a bill requiring them to take an oath of al legiance to the Constitution of the United Stated and the State. Why should an innocent man ob ject to proper search? Why should a loyal citizen refuse to assert his afl- legian^e to his government? Could it be that he is ashamed) to be known as a loyal American ?

Marsh, of the University of California, made the find Located on Skeleton Mesa, in a cave 8,000 feet high, the ruins in clude four rooms.

The Teacher’s Oath Bill proposes a just law, for it i s designed to protect our children from seditious teachings and subversive influences during the most impressionable years of their lives. It works no hardships on loyal teachers. It is not for the teachers to protest. The Governor, the members of the General Assembly and other public servants are required to take an oath to support the Constitution. Why not teachers? They atfp'jJtrWtc servants, paid by our taxes ft is rather for the voters of this commonwealth to say whether the proposed h»w constitutes a protection for their children or is an infringement on free speech. The pro testers invoke the constitutional right of free speech in protesting against being required to swear allegiance to the Constitution. Inconsistent, to say the least. _ The U. S. Supreme Court on June 8, 1925, in the case of Benjamin Git- low, said, “It (Freedom of Speech) does not protect publications or teach ings which tend! to subvert or imperil the govemment or to impede or hinder it in the performance of its govern mental duties.” There is nothing in the proposed law which impairs the right of freedom of speech. .
