the most important institutions of the
government Through 1t the govern
ment becomes a competitor in the
business of managing estates, deced-
ent or other, and serves as executor,
administrator, trustee, agent, or at
torney in the management of proper
ty, the investment of money. and the
making of deeds, mortgages, wills.
and other instruments.
The next step in this policy was
when the government entered into
competition with the money-lenders
by establishing a government loan
office from which any one can borrow
money in amounts not to exceed $780,
600 on real estate security. This was
done IL years ago. four years after
the present liberal regime came into
power. The loan office has done and
is still doing a large business. and has
suffered no losses whatever. 1,
brought down rates of interest at
once from eight ten and even twelve
per cent to the government rate of
five per cent, which is reducible to
four and half by prompt payment.
| And ever since interest in the colony
has hovered close to the government
| figure. 1t is estimated that this one
| factor alone in the scheme of govern
ment competition saves to the produc-
ing classes an average of $1,000, 900
per year.
AS the population of New Zealand
numbers only about 100000 1t can
4 be seen that a similar policy in a
Z country as large and populous as the
/ United States would mean a tremend-
Gus difference to the smaller farming
and business classes. The govern
ment has entered into competition
also in the banking business. 1t con-
trolls the bank of New Zealand,
which has been much more prosper
Gus since the government took over
its management that it was before.
A few years ago there was loud
grumbling aobut the exorbitant price
of coal, and the government, on in
vestigation, found that the coal trade
was in the hands of a combination
very similar to that which controls
the coal business in Pennsylvania.
The principal coal mines were own
ed by shipping ring, and prices were
what it chose to make them. The
government bought coal lands and be-
gan the mining of coal, and the mine
owners soon learned what competition
can do to prices A few months ago
the government established state
agencies for the retailing of its coal.
Its mines are operated at a profit.
When Sir Joseph Ward, the new
premier of New Zealand, was in New
York recently he was asked what
they would do in the colon If they
were to find themselves in the clutches
/ of an ice trust. He replied promptly
that the government would build ice
| plants and bring down prices by SELL
| ing ice at a fair profit. His answer
| put the New Zealand idea into a nut
shell. There is no principle of the New
/ Zealand system of government more
! deeply grounded in the convictions of
| the people than this of the control of
| commercial combinations by means
Of government competition. But the
government does not step in until
conditions make it necessary.

ESTIMATE BASED ON FACES.

Among all the estimates OF the late
Russell Sage that OF the New York
Evening Post seems to be, all things
considered, the most satisfactory. The
Post says: "Russel Sage has been, for
more than a, generation, target of
popular ridicule. If he had any as
pirations beyond money-making he
did ont show them to the world; any
virtue beyond thrift. he did not prac-
tice it before men. He even failed
to enlist sympathy by falling into re-
deeming vices. To most people his
name meant nothing but a hand to
grasp and a purse to hold. Possibly
he did not deserve so much oppro-
brium; perhaps in some corner of his
heart he kept place for generous
dreams and hopes. He may have had
visions of splendid charities-schools,
museums. libraries and hospitals,
founded by his millions and perpetu-
ating his name for grateful posterity.
But though he had 1t in his power to
make the visions realities, he never
for an instant loosened his clutch on
his dollars. We must form our opin-
ions on the facts as they appear.
Every country village has it's keen
money lender, ready to screw the
last cent from his neighbors on mort
gage or note. Russell Sage was his
village skin-flint writ large"
