COMPANY FULL SERVICE YARD" Nevada City AMONG WORKERS BERKELEY, July 30.—Mexico’s huge estates, relics of the old Spanish land-grant days, which have in some cases run into millions of acres and invested the owners with all the power of a feudal lord over his tenants, are ‘being broken up and distributed to the common people as rapidly as the Cardenas government can push its program, according’ to Professor Herbert I. Priestly, professor of history and librarian of the Bancroft Library at the University of California. Professor Priestly, whose special province is Mexican history, has just returned from an extended stay in Mexico, during which he studied the result of the Cardenas reform movement at first hand. The subdivision of large estates, started under Presidents Carranza and Obregon, languished under the Tule of subsequent presidents until , Cardenas took the helm. Since his ‘ taking office, says Professor Priestj ly, subdivision, with corresponding ; 8rant of small farms to the common farmers, has been extended into states which were not touched by his predecessors and renewed in others, such as Colima. Nor is the government making any attempt to pay for the land,, having dropred the sham of giving indemnity in bonds. The common people are so taken with the idea of owning their own land that at the president’s suggestion they have organized agrarian militia in many places to prevent the landed gentry from making any attempt to turn the tables. The result has been an increasing enmity on the part of the wealthy . conservatives. Cardenas, himself, de. Spite his popularity with the com. mon farmers and laborers is dependjent, just as all Mexican presidents ‘have bee, on the support of the ; army, some of whose-most influent. Jal generals are themselves large . land-holders. Professor Priestly, be. Heves, however, that the army, bet. ter educated and more honest than ever before, and possessed of a new ' professional spirit which marks a . distinct break with the past, will rei main loyal Thus, barring anw widei Spread discontent; the Cardenas govTake a drive in our © ul ° ° Scottie Demonstration Car.” v Gasoline Economy of the FORD V:8have painted up a “Scottie Car” simply to demonstrate the increased mileage of this new 1936 Ford V-8.
