MATERIALS FOR THE X CONGRESS OF THE RCP(b)
AMENDMENTS TO THE DRAFT RESOLUTION OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE ON REPLACING PRODRAZVYORSTKA WITH A TAX IN KIND
Comrade Tsyurupa. I request that you discuss—by convening a committee—the following amendments of mine:
To § 9: At the end (after the words “under control”), replace the phrase with: “To exercise oversight, elected bodies of local peasants shall be established, organized according to groups of taxpayers differing in the amount of tax levied.”
To § 10: At the end (after “outside of it”), replace the phrase with: “The methods for ensuring that the exchange does not degenerate into speculation shall be elaborated in a special regulation.”
To § 13: For the time being, strike this section.
(We will decide at the Congress when to publish it. In my view, it should be published before the campaign begins—that is, immediately after the Party Congress.)
