The Dewan's speech in the Popular Assembly indicates that the administration of the Registration Department in the last year has been satisfactory. It is observed that 99 out of 100 land registration documents submitted on a typical day are processed and returned on the same day. It is doubtful whether this rate is in accordance with the practice of registration courts. Even in Britain, where the registration system is less burdensome, it does not appear that 99 out of 100 documents are processed and returned on the same day. Until additional clerks are employed in the Register Courts, or the copying process is otherwise improved, we do not believe it is feasible to process and return the registration documents at this rate, although, if the Dewan's estimate is accurate, it is undoubtedly the most reasonable.

The innovatively introduced Agriculture Department is one of the most beneficial institutions for the local population. Agriculture is the primary occupation and livelihood in this country, and these activities have been facing various disadvantages for a long time. A department like this is highly essential to provide guidance to the farmers to address these issues. A long time ago, the government considered including agriculture as one of the subjects in primary schools, but the effort resulted in only a few books being taught. Instead, it appears that the government is now planning to establish model farms in major cities. Though the farmers are aware of the pros and cons of crops in this country, the officials of the Department of Agriculture may not possess such knowledge. However, there is still much to be gained for the country from this department. It will only become clear later how useful this innovative Agriculture Department will be in fostering people's interest in agriculture and producing positive results.

Another topic that the Dewan emphasised in his speech, with particular attention, was the Chala riots case. Needless to say, the people of Travancore are exceptionally devoted to their royalty. It appears that the government must have been aware of the forces that compelled some of the people to engage in such a rebellion. The Swadeshi strife, prevalent in Bengal and other regions, has not shown its presence in Travancore. Consequently, it can be inferred that those attributing the cause of riots to Swadeshi movements are providing false information. Caste rivalry exists in Travancore, but it is not between the Europeans and the natives.

There are only two things that plague this country. One of the issues afflicting this country is the conflicts between Nairs, Christians, migrant Brahmins, and Ezhavas based on employment prospects in government services. Caste rivalry has persisted in the country for more than twenty years. However, we are not aware of any connection between this caste rivalry and the current riot. In response to the Chala riot, the government plans to deploy a regular police force.

A bill has been introduced in the Legislature to enact the law of British India in this region. We are sure that, for the safety of the government and to maintain peace among the people, such a rule is unnecessary in Travancore. We will publish a detailed statement on this bill in due course.

Another issue that afflicts Travancore is related to the royal servants. We gladly accept the fact that Mr. Rajagopalachari has undertaken significant efforts to undermine caste rivalry. However, the most significant flaw in his administration is that they ignore the complaints regarding the relatives and close associates of the royal servants who, much like in the past, persist in displaying vanity and even use excessive powers on people in other government services. It would be beneficial to prepare a statement illustrating how many relatives of these servants, though lacking qualifications, have entered Court services and other fields, serving in higher positions based only on the influence of the servants. The Dewan seems unaware of the numerous instances in which the government rule, prohibiting employment for those who failed examinations, has been violated in favour of the servants and their relatives. If efforts are made to establish a punitive army to curtail the power of the servants, Mr. Rajagopalachari would realise the significant positive impact he is making on the country.
