ROME, Nov. 11.-State revenues have
already considerably fallen Off in Italy
during the wer and they ere expected :"
diminish s;il further in the near future,
While the export trade Is low. imports
have declined, and as "A result export and
import duties are yielding very little.
Direct taxes on land and incomes are
being paid irreguarly, owing to the scar
city of money, and In most cases payment
cannot be enforced There IL still one
item of revenue that has not been af-
fectcd
This Is the state lottery, or lotto. the
proceeds Of which are increasing. The
lotto is Known as the hope OF the ro5T
and in years OF destitutlon and unem-
ployment the poor people win stake their
last penny In the hope OF winning money
from the Governme As n rule. how
ever, the State wins and hence the lotto
has aptly been compared to a tax on fools.

OF the state lottery.
The ne, profit therefore amounted to

per cent. OF the money cashed In winnings
and expenses Each year the proceeds of
the lotto are Increasing and consider
able Increase IL expected this year of war.
The Neapditans contributed more than
one-third Of the amount collected by the
state from the lotto. as gambling Is their
passion. and the poorer they are the
more they play and the more they hope
