Political Implications
The political implications behind the agreement with the Russian government continue to hold the attention of observers here and are generally agreed to be nothing short of colossal. Whatever their effect may be on the United States ahd Great Britain, it will certainly be minor compared to the effect which the agreement with the Western democracies will have on the whole Russian’ experiment. ' : Intellectuals are intrigued by the changes which, in their estimation, are bound to result in Russia's general attitude toward democracy and in the changes’ which contact with the Western powers, in their estimation, is bound to bring in Russia's own system of government.
Barriers May Be Removed
. Even hard-headed businessmen can find comfort in the commercial possibilities of real co-operation between Russia, the United States and Britain in the post-war period. ‘The London Times frankly discusses the barriers which have existed betweén Russia and Britain and expresses the belief that they may, at last partly, be broken down by their present association. “Very little differences of social structure and political thought divide the three members of the new confederacy,” it says. “The gro of mutual understanding which will flow naturally from the process of combined action will moderate these differences though: it will doubtless not obliterate them altogether. We have already learned that. these differences are of quite another order from those which Sivifie) us from Hitlerism. . “Common detestation of that barbarous creed has brought home to us what we have in common with our new brothers in arms; and starting f that negative basis we have ar learned that our positive ideals overlap more than we had thought.

NEVADA PROUD OF TAX RECORD
State Pays as It Goes, Has Bought No Red Ink For 75 Years.
RENO, Nev. Oct. 6 (U..P.)— Governor Herbert R. O’Connor’s pleased announcement that he had reduced - Maryland’s property tax rate 8 cents and that his state was now in the black with only its banded indebtedness of $49,000,000, drew yawns in Nevada today. Nevada hasn’t bought red ink in 75 years. It has $1,201,38542 in the Treasury. Its total bonded indebtedness July 1 was $431,000, and its only taxes are on real estate, personal property, gasoline and liquor. Governor E. P. Carville, a Demo-
crat like Mr. O’Connor, said the system. for keeping the books balanced was simple.
Gas Skates
Inventer Offers a New ‘Plan to Economize On Motor Fuel.
SCIENCE SERVICE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—If the gasoline shortage makes you worry about how to get back and forth to work next winter, it-holds no headache for Oren F. Russell of Palmer, Wash, ; He has inverited a motor-driven ice. skate. It is provided with a spiral screw inserted in a part of the runner, and driven by a small gasoline engine mounted on a platform projecting from the rear of the skate. Of course there are two skates. With. a separate and independent motor on each, what if one motor should run faster tha: the other, one skate -get further and 1drther ahead of the other? -That would be awkward, wouldn't it? But this contingency was foreseen. In another patent the inventor of the mobile skate provides a “synchronizer,” a flexible rotating shaft that ties the two motors together and forces them to run at the same speed. The flexible shaft is supported by a great arched rod behind the skater, which permits him at will to alter the spread of his legs. This patent is one of the 637 awarded last week. Everything is now provided for except thay we stil! have no information as to where the gas tank is located.

Tha. the pioneer spirit and the way w. do it in Nevada. “I'd like to congratulate the Maryland Governor on being a good tight. sitter. We don’t spend money we haven't got in Nevada and I believe all states should be run that way. ”» "Nevada, he said, has a clean cuff. Silver dollars (paper currency in this silver state is taboo) in its jeans, and a tax rate of only 69% cents. It has no sales tax, inheritance tax, state income tax, tobacco tax or other “nuisance” taxes.
Gambling Is Legal
Nevada, 110,000 square miles of desert, mountains and a few green valleys, has 110,014 population— “one “square person to a square mile,” as the slogan goes. Eighty-five per cent of its revenue comes from. the real estate tax with the railroads payini the most. Legal gambling produces ‘$400,000 a year revenue, of which the state gets ‘one-fourth and the counties, three-fourths. ‘Each slot machine, poker game or roulette table pays an individual tax. The money goes into the general fund to keep up
other government offices.

Indiana’s 16th Selective : Service ~21l opened today with delivery of * additional selectees scheduled .een now and Oct. 28.
Tke 16th call is the second largest so far issued for Indiana men, topped only by requisition last April of 6900 men. A total of 277 Hoosiers were to be inducted today. None was from Marion County. The ‘latest call will find many local Selective Service boards dipping deeply into remaining lists of registrants, Lieut’ Col. Robinson Hitchcock, State Selective Service director, said. . Local boards have by now-classi-fled approximately three-fourths of their total registration, he explained, and there is no, immediate danger of the state running out of manpower. “However, in specific cases, several boards will soon be scraping bottom,” he said. ¢ ‘If this happens, it will probably be necessary to review cases to find if there are not some registrants now deferred who would be eligible for Class I-A,” he
said.
A. F. OF L. SLAMS RED ‘HYPOCRISY’
Russia but Rejects ‘Idea of Alliance.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 6 (U. P.). —The American Federation of Labor’s 61st annual convention opens today with. an executive council deport decrying Russian “hypocrisy” but ' supporting all-out defense effort. The council’s annual statement to the convention urged that the Federation pledge aid to all nations fighting Hitler, but warned that the assistance to Russia should be given with the realization that the course is simply practical and expedient and “without the slightest pretense that the: nations: are or can be friends,” ‘“Soviet Russia is not ‘the willing ally of the forces of democracy in this war,” the report said. “Her present friendly gestures to Great Britain and America are dictated by desperation and hypocrisy. “Already the Communists in this country are trying to propel America into a closer alliance with Soviet Russia. Phis is unthinkable. The teachings and practices of Communism are just as noxious and principled as the teachings an practices of Naziism.” Post-War Program Urged Although pledging full support to the defense program, the council suggested that “higher wages will be sought wherever necessary.” Freezing of wages as an inflation curb is not necessary, it suggested, and congratulated the affiliated rogress” during the past “without- resort to
It proposed a broad Government program of social insurance and downward revision of work hours after the war. A commission representing government, management and labor should be formed to begin planning the return to peacetime economy, it suggested. “Unless steps are taken in advance to cope with the situation,” the report said, “the unemployment which will follow the present war is likely to exceed by far the staggering unemployment in the wake of the First World War.”
