ANALYSIS OF SOVIET RULE Cold Reasoning Easily Proves Fallacy en Which the Idea Is Based Demagogism Its Foundation Stone. Article XXI. By FRANK COMERFORD. Lenine has frequently observed that representative government is a fall- | gre. He has insisted that the deme- eratic form of government is de { bauched and destroyed by the political that podtical corruption ve- toes the will of the people. If Lenine Is right in this conclusion, then the bolshevik government in Russia offers fust from *hance for political corruption as our own form of government. If it is dan- | gerous for the American people to entrust thelr business to an he | whom they directly elect and who Is lirectly responsible to them, how { machine; | turn over the public business to 17 | men appointed by a central executive the members of have been appointed by an All-Russian congress, which All-Russinn congress ommittee, people did not vote? plan to our own government, Applying this our con gislatures and the aldermen then this congress so elected | would pick an executive committee of | 200, and this committee would elect 17 given the supreme power of the state, oth legislative and executive power, #:he right to make laws, and the | thority to enforce the laws. i eltles Democracy or Autocracy? { All down through history two the | sries of governme nt have been at war.

These two ant have nothing In common ; ines, they can never meet, In | aature they are separate and apart. government of the late kalser of Jermany, the government of Nicholas, the autocrat of Russia, sn the idea that the rule, History shows is no middle minority shall that ty. The rule of a minority over a najority means slavery for the many. {t is human nature. The principle always works the same result. If it is a political meeting ‘and the minor ity runs it, the result is a ind a hoss, have a bureaucracy and a dictator, de. of the governed, but from the mets of the army. for honest differences of opinion tween honest men on many questions, but there is not any room for differ snce of opinion among honest free | men on the proposition that minority rule is a menace, In Article IIT of the bolshevik con- stitution we find incontrovertible evi- lence that the government of soviet | Russia Is bullt on the tyrant's stone, | minority rule. Section 25 reads: “The bwy- be All-Russian congress i com- *@8 In the ratio of one delegate for wery 25,000 voters, and of represent- wtives of the soviets of the provinces In the ratio of one delegate for every 25,000 inhabitants.” Discrimination Against Peasants, | No explanation Is given for basing { the representation in congress from | the cities on the number, of voters, | while the representation from the provinces is based on the wmber of inhabitants. The words are wt synonyms, a voter Is an inhabit. int of certain age and possessing cer min qualifications. An inhabitant Is inyone who lives lo the provinee, re gpardless of age or qualifications. If he word inhabitant is given the same neaning that the word voter is given, hen it Is apparent that the constitu. fon unjustly discriminates against he “poor peasant.” As they have had 10 general elections in Russia, it is mpossible to give the official construe- fon of these two words, If the word uhabitant medns any man, woman or thild living In the province, the dis rimination against the “poor peas ints” is just as obvious, although it loes not go to the same lengths As 4 illustration, if we read this im wriant provision of the constitution dving to the word inhabitant the same aeaning as we give to the word voter, hen we see that the voters of the ity have one congressman for every $000, while the “poor peasants” ave one congressman for every 125. 00. If we construe the word voter o mean the qualified legal voter, and he word inhabitant to mean any hu. ann heing living in the provinces, we earn that the people of the city have fie congressman for every 25,000 ‘oters, while the people of the prov. nees have one congressman for every 2,500 voters. I remch this estimate a the following manner: In the United ¥ States we estimate thar there 18 one voter in every five of the population. This ealculation is based up6bn mule suffrage alone, with the voting age | Axed at twenty-one years. In Russia both men and women have the suf- frage, and the age qualifying one to vote Is eighteen years. 1, therefore, figure that there would be one vetor for every two in population. There is no question about the discrimination against the “poor peasant” and the fa- voring of the city voter. It is only 2 question of how much. Machine’ Politics, Lenine may be the idealist some peor ple say he is, but this section of the constitution proves hif to be £ prac tical machine politician In his meth- ods, The provision was meet a situation. It has a purpose, Lenine has frequgntly written and spoken about the “poor peasants.” He can be forgiven for ovarworking ‘the phrase. The “poor peasints” make up the great bulk of the population of Russia. It Is not bad politics, al- though It smacks of demagogy, speak often and sympathetically the “poor peasants” Jority of one's successful offices to constituency. politicians owe this appeal. In { the lund-—over four-fifths of all | Russians are peasants, Less than one- fifth of the population live in towns and cities, Measured by words, Lenine Is the friend of the their enemy. As te have seen, power of the government is vested In i the All-Russian congress. | read how the All-Russian congress | central executive committee, j turn surrenders the i people's commissars, which In i i peasant” tution ; the bolsheviks are at least con- i sistent. { of the constitution furnishes addition. | the peasants. It reads: “Thé provincial soviets are com- posed of representatives of the city | soviets and the rural soviets, one rep- { resentative for 10,000 Inhabitants of | the rural districts, and one represent- | ative for 2,000 voters in the city.” In the regional congresses it is the { same, one representative for | Inhabitants of the country, and one rep- resentative for 5,000 votefs of the city. Aim at Disfranchising Peasants, The governments of the nation, of | the regions, of the provinces, are based | on the disfranchisement of the “poor I am wondering if there { 1s any significance In the fact that the | people of the city have one represent. | ative for a certain nnmber of votos, { and the people of the country have | one representative for fust five times You will note the ratio is always the same: For congressmen jit Is 25000 In the city, as against i 125,000 in the country; In the regional j congress it is 5.000 voters of the city { as against 25,000 inhabitants of the i country, in the provincial congresses it | is one representative for 2.000 vobers | in the city, representative for | peasants.” | the number, ohe tricts. Why | wondering this five to one? I am how Lenine hit upon the i ratio of five to one: Is there any | nection between this fiveto-one | erimination against the “poor peas i ants” and the ratio of population in Russia between eity dwellers “poor peasants,” which Is about five to one? It is not difficult to guess the reason for this action. Con dis i planation in a minute. political experience proves that a political ma- chine is best controlled, easiest grnized in the citles. Political ma- chines have never been popular in the country districts. The soviet form of disfranchising the "poor peasants™ i constitution knew one thing practical politics, and knew that one ] thing thoroughly, i les are accessible to political control, | amenable to politieal influence, | for the political machine. The soldiers and erally stationed in cities, them the power of city voters, are not discriminating against, are favored, | not free ‘agents in the s | inns usunlly are, freedom of thought and aetion that the military do not enjoy. The sol { dier's occupation prevents It. First: he ifs an employee of the govern ment; second, he Is under disci pline; third, the people's commissars fix his pay, determine the quantity and quality of his food, arrange for the comforts of the barracks: votes and the bayonets of the miliary | sustain and support Lenine as truly as the military force held the czar on his throne.
