CZAR AIDS PEASANTS

DOUMA IGNORED BY NICHOLAS
Industrious LabOrers viii BE Freed
of Burdens OF Communal System.
Expected That New Move VIII
Mean Severance of HaIf-hearted
Alliance of Peasants and Radicals.

St Petersburg, Nov. "a uzase issued
by the Car to the peasants was pub
lished to-day 1t constitutes the entire
essence of the governments programme,
which aims at the separation Of the peas
ants from all other branches Of politi-
cal agitation.
The government by issuing the ukase
now seeks to demonstrate that the En-
peror is willing TO remedy the peasants
grievances without regard to the Douma.
Recognition of this fact has already
evoked angry protests from Kovalevsky,
the Liberal leader, that the national prob
lem, namely, land tenure, should be dealt
with the executively by the government
without the cooperation of-the DOuma.
The substance of the ukase is that a
peasant may abandon his share OF the
communal owenrship of village land and
become an Individual freehOldeT. The
peasants have always complained Of the
oppressive rlegalities introduced at the
establishment Of cOmmunes upon the lib
Grafton of the serfs in 1851, which have in
creased greatly during the present reign.
Communal Plan Fails.
Communal ownership was described to
them when it was first introduced as a
temporary expedient for securing the re-
demption payments for land grants to
the newly liberated serfs, but practi-
cally it came to mean that the indus
trious peasants paid their share, while
the thriftIess paid nothing.
When the commune payments fell into
arrears the entire commune was assessed,
which meant that the industrious paid
twice and the thriftless again paid moth
ing.
The iniquity Of the system was further
increased by the opportunities it gave
provincial officials to declare that part
Of the commune land was for sale to sat
isfy unpaid assessments, a scheme that
was worked by wilfully confused book
keeping. These officials could always re-
sort 10 this eXpedient when they wanted
TO exact money from the peasants who
possessed any.
In Hands of Local officials.
Unfortunately. the Interpretation of to-
days ukase, which comprises eighteen
lengthy technical clauses, remains largely
in the hands Of local officials. 1t is a
great decree, however, freeing the peas
ant from the wretched thraldom of the
present communal system and Offering
the possibility Of peasant proprietorship.
1t Is perfectly clear that its effect in the
coming election viii probably be the re-
turn Of nOn-party peasants to the next
DOuma
Their class has never joined heartily
in the radical parliamentary movement.
and they viii doubtless prefer 10 scru-
uniZe from an independent position the
benefits promised by tO-days ukase

selves entirely to their collars, because
their smartness gives tone TO the office
They are not greatly concerned II the
wearers are small workers because mere
Office work can safely be left to the

about the depths of their collars.
Men Of the favored type, says the Ga

collars and cuffs shine with the same

vacant look.

reproduce a simile Of a donkey looking
