Greasing importance of Italy in
foreign affairs due to his man

at home, all served to make him
popular and to cause the Matteoti
affair to be virtually forgotten.
He now devoted himself to
complete change in the structure
Ct the Italian state. He passed his
labor charter whereby both en-
ployers and employees were regu-
lated and strikes and lockOutS
were made illegal.
Labor and capital were organ
ized into syndicates. The eight
hour day was established, later
changed to nine.
The Fascist Grand Council was
made an integral part of the state
government. It is composed of the
presidents Of the two chambers of
Parliament, all the ministers, and
the chief Fascist leaders. All are
named by the premier and are re-
spOnSible to him.

were abolished. Only one list of
candidates for the Chamber of
Deputies was allowed-that pre-
pared and approved by the Grand
Council.
The voters could only mark their
ballots in favor of or as opposed to
this list. Political parties outside
the Fascist regime were thus
killed. In preparation for the So
called cooperative state, the popu-
lace under Fascist guidance was
divided into Is groups.
The employers were represented
in six national confederations-in-
maritime and aerial transport,
land transport and inland navi-
cation, and banking.
Employees were represented in
seven national SyndicateS-induS-
try, agriculture, commerce, mari
time and aerial transport, land
transport, banking, and the intel
lectual professions.
IMPROVEMENT was taken
~ from cities, mayors being APP
pointed by the government. Self
government was likewise taken
away from the 1900 communeS.
In the country, as whole the
cabinet ministers were no longer
responsible to the king, but to
the premier. He alone was re-
sponsible to the king, both for
his governmental acts and for
those of his ministers.
Automatically too, the mead of
the Fascist Grand Council be-
comes premier. In other words,
nothing was left to chance.
With its control of all the gov
ernmental machinery, the armed
forces of the state, and the Fas-
cist militia, the council was to be
so powerful that none could chal-
lenge its sway.

this one.
Conference committees are not
supposed to write new legislation

frequently broken, sometimes
openly, more often covertly.
Thus, conference committee ac-
ton is Of utmost Importance at
this period in a session. What it
actually comes down to is legis-

Litigation OF unusual interest

Glacier county at Cut Bank We'd
nesday I'm the action to quiet title
brought by Nadeau Brothers, In

Ewald tract of 80 acres in Sec
tion S-s2-5W.
Nadeau Brothers are in pos
session OF lease on the tract des-
cribed as the SEX NWH and
NEH SWA Section and the
success of their action would mean
elimination of the claim OF the
Texas company to lease rights.
At the time the Texaco dis
covery well In Section 16-32-5W
was completed the Ewald lease
was in escrow in a Denver bank.
Learning of the well Ewald sought
to withdraw the lease and the
bank was enjoIned from delivering
the papers back TO Ewald, who
gave a second lease to r. ]. Rey-
uolds Of Great Falls. The so acres
is located in the center of a uni-
tization block of Texas company.
Considerable litigation has resulted
in Colorado state courts and In
federal court where Texas COM
pany Is suing Ewald to compel
him to sign the utilization agree
ment. Previously a damage suit
was started in Colorado courts by
the Texas company demanding s2,-
100000 damages from Ewald for
his refusal to deliver the lease.
That action was withdrawn.
Reynolds meantime sold his lease
to Nadeau Brothers who brought
the pending action to quiet title.

Some heretofore unwritten his
tory Of Keyin-Sunburst field has
been dug up by E. r. "Pinky' Hol-
derby, publisher of the Shelby
Tribune, who is running a serial on
the early history of Toole county,
written by Mrs. James Miller.
Mrs. Miller relates how Kelvin
Sunburst was nearly discovered in
1911-ten years ahead of the drill
ing Of the Campbell discovery well.
She reveals that Louis w. Hill,
who has never been adequately
credited with his importana part I'm
the development Of Kevin-Sunburst
OIL and gas field, was one OF those
prominently identified with the
drilling OF the first well, on the
Miller farm, in 1911. The Miller
farm Is in Section 17-34-3W, south
west of the town of Kelvin and in
an area which win unquestionably
yield commercial production when
drilled.
Mrs. Miller's account says that
there was an oil seep in their well
near the back door Of the ranch
home, but nothing was done about
It, other than conversation. for sew
