demning government ownership and
operation as an economic folly, though
sometimes iustifiable for special rea
sons of public safety or utility, His
Excellency Tomasso Tittoni, president
of the Italian Senate, speaking from
intimate knowledge which his high Of
fetal position has given him of the
general course of more than 5000 Itsl
ian experiments in state and municipal
efforts. delivered lecture on ''econom-
ic doctrines" before the institute of
politics at its morning meeting to-day.
Municipal and especially state own
ersh:2," said the senator, can never
have for its object simply economic sd-
vantage. People generally expect from
houses the latest ini-
provement and the best commodities,
little caring whether the concern is in
a financial position TO pay for them or
il means going into debt. Thus
every public concern must, in order TO
content the people. tend towards the
free distribution of its commodities
The president of ltsly's senate also
called attention to the ruin which Rus

OLD CONSTITUTION
OF 1880 UPHELD
As Valid Constitution of Massachu-
setts as Contrasted With Instru-
ment Adopted in 1919.

Boston, Aug. l0.-The original state
constitution of 1850 is the supreme
law of the commonwealth and not the
rearranged constitution adopted by the
voters Nov. a, 1919, according to ma
jority decision of the supreme court
returned to-day.
The court in previous decision
held that the constitution of 1880 was
still in force and that articles adopted
by the constitutional convention two
years ago should follow as amend
ments, and not be incorporated into
the rearranged document.
The matter was brought before the
court the second time as strictly le-
gal proposition with full discussion by
counsel to assist in reaching final de-
csion. James M. Morton of Fall River,
a former justice of the supreme court,
appearing in support of petition to
have the rearranged constitution ap-
proved, declared that to accept the
original constitution as the governing
document with the articles adopted by
the convention attached as amend
ments would lead to confusion. The
convention, he contend
ed, was called for the expr,ts purpose
of revising the old constitution.
The petition was opposed by repre-
sentatives of the attorney general.
The decision dismissing the petition
was written by Chief Justice Rugg in
with four other justices
Justices Decourcy and Crosby dissent
ed.
The court said it was clear that
there was no intention on the part of
the committee on rearrangement or
any of its members, that there should
be any change of substance in the re-
as compared with the con-
'titution of 1870 and its amendments. |
1T seems equally plain" the decis-
on continued, that also was the in |
,ent of the constitutional convention |

have revealed several |
which seem to us changes of sub. |
