more valuable territory for the ever- increasing population of Italy. most of which is engaged in agricultural enterprises.
 A large part of the rural families which were the principal sources of emigration to the cities and abroad. are now finding steady em pioyment on the land being reclaimed.
 Three systems of cultivation are being put into practice:
 I. Small farms run by tine owners themselves.
 2. Large farms run on cos operative basis between land0wn- CTS and resident pcasants.
 2. Rented farms run by syndI- catcs or "cOrp0raxiOni" and ern-

 The three systems have succeeded in breaking up the large estates Gatifondi) which for centuries have been allowed to deteriorate. At the same time, the small farm plan is increasing the landowners among the peasants and is inducing the un- employed of the cities to seek work in the country.

Baldwin, one of oui greatest of constitutional lawyers with former Chief Justice George w Wheeler and with other eminent lawyers and judges including mem. bers of the judicial council, whe have either directly or indirectly ex. pressed opinions that the existing method Is constitutional.

surely an eye-opener.
The last report condemns the police systems OF mosu

that are PLAYING such dominant part in the affairs of
American cities.
This picture Of police corruption and necency might
cause shudder of apprehension the mind of the patriotic
citizen when considers the future Yet surmise there
is no reason for undue alarm Graft and coruptor0l
