The most powerful institu-<lb />tion in China is the family. The<lb />most remarkable attribute of the<lb />family is its ability to exercise ju-<lb />dicial powers upon its members. If<lb />a Chinaman commits a minor of-<lb />fense, the law, as we term it, takes<lb />no cognizance of thecase. The fam-<lb />ily takes upon itself the punishment<lb />of the offender by flogging or im-<lb />prisonment, and the compensation<lb />of the injured party. It is only in<lb />the graver offenses, such as murder,<lb />that the culprit is handed over to ju-<lb />dicial authority.<lb /><lb />~The ability of the Chinese family<lb />to sustain its feudal prerogative is<lb />owing to its being part and parcel<lb /><lb />-bof the land itself. There are no land-<lb /><lb />lords ion China. The land is the<lb />property of the state and the occw<lb />piers pay a small tax to the former<lb />for the use of it. This tax must be<lb />paid whether the land is cultivated<lb />or not; no family, therefore. makes<lb />itself responsible for more land than<lb />its members can care for. The state<lb />further reserves the right where the<lb />occupiers do not do justice to their<lb />holdings to dispossess them and<lb />relet it. This land tax ranges from<lb />twelve to forty cents per acre, and<lb />the average size of each holding is<lb />nine acres. Apart from this glebe<lb />each family has the inalienable right<lb />to two acres of land, which is strict-<lb />ly entailed upon the family and fur-<lb />nishes the site of the homestead.<lb />The members of the family who in<lb />trying their luck in the adjacent<lb />cities fail to make a success have al-<lb />ways the ancestral home to fall back<lb />upon and the accompanying farm to<lb />work on and live by. A poor law is<lb />unkuown in China, and failureis not<lb />to be found in the lexicon of the<lb />labcring class. Another point which<lb />younger nations might incorporate<lb />in their code is the respect paid to<lb />the aged in China.
