"God Made the Trees"
The peasants are not accustomed To
stealing from each other, which is
shown by the fact that they always
leave their houses unlocked and I'M
protected while they are Ia boring i'm
the fields. Although they respect each
others property. they cannot resist the
temptation TO pick up pieces of iron,
bits of rope, and such little odds and
ends as they find lying around the
premises OF their landlord. They in
stinctiVely feel that anything they can
get from him is so much legitimate
gain Even the most religious among
them think nothing of stealing wood
from the landlords forest Although
their comprehension is painfully dull
they understand injustice but can
only feebly express their resentment
at the unequal law which gives their
master the title TO the treasures Of
nature which are necessary 10 the
comfort Of all. When they are cold
there is no way out of their extremity
except 10 steal firewOOd. and If caught
in the act they enter the simple but
somewhat eXtenuating plea that God
planted the trees and watered them. q"

who find that they can make more

he is permitted TO work wherever ne
pleases and stay away as long as he
sees fit. The absentee who is reported
TO be prosperous may have his assess
ment of taxes raised for no other Dur-
pose than to give the members of the
village q jubilee a mis- expense. StIl
another fault of the application Of this
system is the imposition OF the land
lords, who sometimes manipulate the
taxes in such a way that the young
men cannot afford TO go away from
home. In the course OF time a conges-
tion occurs, and labOrers become so nu-
merous that the scale of wages falls
10 the bare living point.
Countless obstacles result from the
appOrtionment OF land according to the
number of inhabitants Sometimes the
government does not make a revision
for many years In fact the last one
was made in 1899. and there have been
only eleven since 179 the intervals
varying from six TO forty-one years.
The re vision list merely shows the num-
Der in each family, and the taxes are
often out OF all proportion to the earn
ing power OF household. For instance,
take two tamiIleS on the list. each Of
which shows five male members. Nu-
merically they should receive a like
amount of land, but investigation may
show that one consists Of a robust faith
er and four strong sons while the other
may be composed of a widow and five
little boys. The resources of these two
groups are naturally very remote. The
man with his grown sons and grand
children in all likelihood will not have
enough land. while the widow and her
children will be unable to work her
proportion, and be equally unable to
