Russia seeks US credits for rapid postwar modernization
In Moscow on August 4, Leon Trotsky outlined the Soviet view in an United Press interview. He urged a new rapprochement with the United States, noting Russia needs electrification and mechanization of agriculture and industry and proposing a five to ten year US credit plan guaranteed by Russia’s economic growth. Trotsky warned conservative circles in London hinder cooperation and predicted Russia would soon become a major world market, aiming for rapid industrial and agricultural expansion from 60-70 percent of prewar output toward 200 percent.

Boone County Board of Review Accepts State Tax Order
The Boone County Board of Review met and, under protest, voted to implement the ten percent increase ordered by the state tax board on lands and improvements outside towns. They deemed the state order unjust but will obey. The added assessment is projected to raise county valuation by about 2,880,870 dollars, while land values fell ~25 percent and improvements rose 10 percent from 1924. Local officials argue the higher valuation promotes excess public spending and that a lower valuation would allow a lower rate to fund expenses. Public opinion, they say, would favor a reasonable, restrained rate.
