By FRANK COMERFORD. On the tenth day of July, 1918, the bolshevik govefnment adopted a con- | stitution. They nanred the new nation the “Russian Socialist Federal Soviet | Republic.” They hung out a flag, a i red cloth, in the left corner of which { (on top, near the pole) are In golden letters “R. 8.

It must be solid and strong If liberty is to be secure. The | whole superstructure depends upon | the foundation. Government Is hous® made of laws.

The legislative and executive power is combined in the soviet, The bolshevik constitution divides Russia Into regions, provinces, coun- ties, towns, villages, rural districts and local rural districts. For the sake of comparison we can liken Russia to the United States, a province in Russia to a state In our Union, and so oh down through the list. We have no political division corresponding to the Russian region, & unit larger than an American state, The Russian citizen's liberty 1s measured by the voice he Is given In selecting the men who are to make the laws he must obey. The constitu. tion fixes his freedom. It says how far he may go and ne farther, We have heard much about the "poor peasants.” The constitution makes them paupers ia liberty. Down at the bottom of government the farmer, the “poor peasant” is given the right to vote for delegates to the local rural soviet. This little has about the same power in sha policy of Russia and making thé laws that affect life, liberty and property as the township commissioners have in the United States. Their authority is confined to purely local matters, When the “poor peasdnt” has cast this | one lonesome and meaningless vote for a representative in the local rural soviet he Is through so far as any di- rect say In who shall govern him, and how. { Governed by Officeholders. The “poor peasant,” having cast his vote for the local rural soviet, leaves the task of government to the office holders. The deputies elected to the ; local rural soviet meet and elect the deputies to the next higher governing unit, the rural soviet. Here we find the first governing body for which the “poor peasant” is denied a vote, but not the last, / The next unit of government in Rus- ein {s the county. The people do not have a vote for the delegates to the county soviets. These county commis. sloners are elected by the members of the city and village soviets and the viets, direct volce In thelr own government, The constitution says: "The All Russian congress Is the supreme power.” This body In the governinent of Russin+takes the place of our con. gress, our president and the cabinet. It has the supreme legislative and ex- ecutive power. Do the people have a vote for these all-powerful congress. men? Certainly not.

When I think of the part the people play they are kept from their affairs, I cannot help but see them through this constitution as though I were looking at them through the wrong end of a pair of opera glasses. Truly it 1s a long way from the people to the thrones of Lenine. The people make only the first and short. est step. There are five long and im- portant steps between the “poor peas ants” and the power, and three be tween the city voters and the real gov. ernment of Russia, . The boishevik government Is a gov- ernment of officeholders, for officehold- ers and by officeholders. It is Lin- coln's formula reversed. I have heard it sald that democratic government is a fallure because political officeholders do not traly represent the people. There is some truth in the statedient, but the people have a remedy; the systeth is not at fault. I cannot un- derstand the logic for the faith that a government which provides three or five additional sets of officeholders be tween the people and the government will make things better.

In addi tion to carrying 32 tons of water, which is a minimum for a family of six to use In a year, she did all the house- work and helped with the fleld work and care of the live stock. Here is the story she tells: “We live on & farm of 800 acres lo- cated one and a quarter miles from a small town. We have no automobile, but use horses and wagons as a means of transportation to town or elsewhere, lighted by lamps and heated by stoves, “There are six members In the fam- and sixteen and two under ten years of age.

During eight months In the year I help with the farm work, care for the vegetable gar- den and help care Yor the live stock. “In the summer I rise at five o'clock and my working day ends at 9:30 p. m., with no time free. In winter the day begins at 6 a. m. and jasts until 8 p. m., with no time off. I work on an aver age of fifteen and a half hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days In the year, with not even my noon hour free.” Survey blanks were filled out by 244 New Mexico farm women, and about one-half of them reported water brought by hand from a distance of 800 to 400 feet. The average wis 47 feet. In over 80 per cent of the cases the housewives did the carrying. One gallon of water with a bucket weighs at least 84% pounds. One wom- an who lived on a farm and carried water for a family of five, which sta- tistics show to be the size of the aver age American family, reports that it takes six palis of water for the ord. nary day, and she has counted any times the 16 palls required for the fam- fly washing. Six pails of water 365 days in the year make 2,180 pails; 18 pails for the washing, 52 weeks in the year, make 832 pails, or a total of 3,022 pails of water for a family of five In da year. Taking this as the usual amount of water used, and the 47 feet as the average distance carried, the distance travelad in one year is 53 miles. Woman Carries Water 457 Miles. Besides traveling this distance she must bear the weight of the water. Ordinary palls contain from 21% to 38 ‘gallons; 3.022 pails of 2% gallons will equal 1,600 gallons.
