THE UNITED STATES AND SOVIET RUSSIA An Englishman, Charles Sarolea by name, has recently published a book entitled "Impressions of Soviet Russia." He had spent a great deal of time in that country for the purpose of giving conditions there a thorough and first hand study. What he reports will be interesting. It will be remembered that the United States appropriated many millions of dollars and sent a commission to Russia for the purpose of saving the starving in two of its largest and ordinarily most productive provinces, where a famine was raging. At the very time that this was done, soviet Russia was spending millions for the purpose of destroying other governments, including our own, when we were giving to relieve the starving people of that country. Official announcement comes from Russia that for 1925 two hundred million gold rubles, approximately one hundred million dollars of our money, has been appropriated for foreign propaganda work. Famine is still prevalent in parts of Russia, and yet its vicious government can turn its eyes away from its own suffering people and spend millions of dollars of gold for the purpose of destroying organized government in other nations, including our own. And what does this soviet government aim to accomplish by the spending of such a large sum of money? It aims to bring the same conditions in other countries that are in Russia, where a few crafty men have seized the government, and by force are maintaining themselves as the ruling power in that country, although they call it a "soviet" which might imply that the laborers of Russia were participating in the government. As a matter of fact, less than three per BUILDING IN THE SOUTHLAND Southern California construction firms specializing in the erection of industrial buildings will have one of the most prosperous years in 1925, according to Joseph F. Rhodes, Los Angeles contractor, who has been engaged in the building business in the latter city for many years. A survey to determine to what extent industrial construction was planned for the Southland for the new year was recently completed by Mr. Rhode's office. The results show unmistakably that there would be an abundance of this type of building under way within a few months. "From every part of the United States inquiries are being received by the various Chambers of Commerce and construction firms regarding the cost of erecting industrial plants in this territory," stated Mr. Rhodes, "and this fact clearly indicates that there will be an abundance of industrial construction work in 1925. In addition to this there are a large number of industrial units for which contracts have been held in abeyance pending completion of financing. The recent new era of prosperity sweeping the entire country has enabled the owners of these units to complete the necessary financial arrangements and construction work is now scheduled to begin early in the new year." Realizing that prices of material and labor, necessary in the construction work of these plants, Mr. Rhodes stated, will not remain at the low levels which have been prevailing for months, many owners are insisting that their plans be hastened to completion. SCENIC DRIVE OF SOUTHLAND COMPLETED Mulholland Drive, one of the most And what does this soviet government aim to accomplish by the spending of such a large sum of money? It aims to bring the same conditions in other countries that are in Russia, where a few crafty men have seized the government, and by force are maintaining themselves as the ruling power in that country, although they call it a "soviet" which might imply that the laborers of Russia were participating in the government. As a matter of fact, less than three percent of the Russian people are represented at all in its government, and of that three per cent only a very small fraction of one per cent have anything to say whatever about Russia shall or shall not do, and yet they call their government an ideal which they want the other governments of the earth to follow. Over eighty percent of the population of Russia consists of peasants. They have no voice and no relation whatever to the government. Only a small fraction of the laborers, and those are the communists, are permitted even to vote, and their votes really count for nothing, since an autocratic government, far more autocratic than the czar, and far more vicious, rules the country as it pleases, and has kept itself in power by the murder of thousands and thousands of the best people in Russia, and by sending many more thousands as exiles into Siberia, and by putting very many more thousands in prisons. In other words, the soviet government rules by fear. It is backed by a standing army that does not resitate at murder or any other crime which the soviet government may want it to perform. When its people are hungry, because the government is hurtful, wasteful and discourages industry, then the hypocrites who rule Russia send out a loud call for help. The soviets plunder its own people for the purpose of maintaining its army of assassins to keep itself in power. And when making their appeals to the pity of other governments and the people of other countries to send food and money to aid the starving in Russia, these cruel, barbarous, detestable rulers of Russia recompense this charity by sending money to destroy the governments of the very countries from which they have asked help for their own people. The Russian money is used for fostering strikes, stirring up class strife and hatred, with the aim of destroying such governments. Realizing that prices of material and labor, necessary in the construction work of these plants, Mr. Rhodes states will not remain at the low levels which have been prevailing for months, many owners are insisting that their plans be hastened to completion. SCENIC DRIVE OF SOUTHLAND COMPLETED Mulholland Drive, one of the most delightful scenic drives in Southern California, is completed. It is a 25-mile stretch extending from Griffith Park over the ridge of the Santa Monica Mountains to Calabasas. This drive has opened up more than 70,000 acres of highly desired sites for homes. The eastern gate of the highway will be reached by Vernon Avenue in Griffith Park. It is planned that over $1,000,000 will be expended in the erection of a Greek theater and other public buildings at this point, which will form an imposing entrance to this scenic route. From Griffith Park the highway is paved through Hollywood, this part of the drive having been planned in two tiers, as east-bound and west-bound road, which have not as yet been connected with the portion through Griffith Park, but which connection will soon be made. It then circles the viaduct from Hollywood Knolls and over the Cahuenga Pass. Continuing west, the highway circles above the Bowl and follows the crest of the Hollywood Mountains. The Pacific, Catalina and other Islands are to be had on one side, while on the other are awe-inspiring views of snow-capped peaks and wooded canyons. The highway then passes over the valley side of the hills, and from here a beautiful panorama of San Fernando Valley greets the eyes, with its bustling cities, green fields. Santa Fe Help Record-breaking handled without serious delay Since January 1st, 1923, the Santa Fe and the people of other countries to send food and money to aid the starving in Russia, these cruel, barbarous, detestable rulers of Russia recompense this charity by sending money to destroy the governments of the very countries from which they have asked help for their own people. The Russian money is used for fostering strikes, stirring up class strife and hatred, with the aim of destroying such governments. And yet there are people in the United States who want us to recognize soviet Russia, with its one hundred million treason fund. The soviet government has killed twenty-eight bishops, 1,219 priests, 6000 professors and teachers, 9,000 doctors, 54,000 officers, 260,000 soldiers, 70,000 policemen, 12,950 landowners, 355,250 intellectuals and professional men, 198,000 peasants! The statistics of these Russian domestic killings were compiled by Mr. Charles Sarolea, the English writer, after a thorough and pathstaking investigation of the facts. Have the governing people of Russia any right to expect recognition from our republic, when they are using a part of a one-hundred million dollar treason fund to destroy our government? We believe America never should recognize a government that is sustained by bayonets and that keeps itself in power by murder and the fear which murder inspires—a government which is so contemptible that it repays our charity which it begs by attempting the destruction of our form of government. "You 'wets' don't know what you're talkin' about," said the Neighborhood Grocer when he was told that 1924 had been a year of big liquidation in the United States. Since January 1st, 1923, the Santa Fe has purchased new equipment costing over $50,000,000, including 13,750 freight cars and 146 locomotives. It has spent $43,000,000 additional on new shops, terminals, double track, etc. As a result, from August 1st to November 1st, the Santa Fe Railway handled 48,395 cars of commercial freight in excess of any previous year—an increase of 9.7%—without congestion or any material delay. Notwithstanding the heavy calls, cars have been furnished practically on demand. In the few cases of local shortage, due to excessive local demand, cars have been furnished with such slight delay as to be negligible. Four years of legislative peace and fair treatment under the Transportation Act have been a vital factor in its ability to meet satisfactorily the record-breaking freight traffic of the past two years and maintain a surplus of cars at all times, barring local temporary shortages. and Mt. Lowe and Mt. Wilson in the distance. Crossing Laurel Canyon, the road weaves its way through one beautiful spot after another until Calabasas is reached, the western terminus. It is planned that the stretch just west of Topango Canyon to the sea will be built immediately, which will traverse the mountains of the Malibou and with the completion of this trench there will be 45 miles of ridge driving unsurpassed for beauty.

Fe Helps Shippers Good service to the farmer is of the Good service to the farmer is of the utmost importance when prices and crops in the aggregate are good. Inadequate railroad facilities cause freight congestion, delays, waste, and loss to everyone. The wholesaler, jobber, and retailer must carry heavy stocks and place orders well in advance, to make sure their shelves do not become bare. The farmer must store his grain and hold his livestock waiting for cars to ship to market. In a country growing like ours it is not easy to keep pace with such growth. During the war the railroads fell behind, as their expansion had to be deferred for more pressing matters. Today they are fairly abreast of the procession. They are pressing forward on a continued program of improvement which, with a continuance of present general conditions, will steadily extend their ability to serve. W. B.

On the Nation's Business EET storm snaps wires in New England; a blizzard a line of poles in the ranges; a flood over a valley community; a cyclone sweeps away in its path;—where emergency, men and tools are rushed to the spot that telephone service is important at such a time, restored.

Whether sudden calamity comes from an Atlantic gale or a Texas "twister," its damage must be repaired at once, because it cripples some part of a communications system that is nation-wide. Because America has universal service, the telephone truck speeding to a scene of disaster is truly "on the nation's business," and the implements of its workers are weapons wielded in the nation's cause.
