Prussia's Great Revenues From Pub.
lie Properties.

The State income from public prop
critics amounted, in 1908, to some
what more than the total income
from borrowings. The railways were
the largest source of income, and net
ted $149,755,0O0. or about per cent
on the total invested by Prussia in
Its railway system since the State be-
gan to buy and build railways, in
1S48-49. Prussia derived from other
sources, from its crown forests. the
leased farms, the iron, coal, potash,
salt, and other mines, the porcelain
factories, banking, and a variety of
less important industries, s26,9OO,OOO.
The policy Of Prussia, which domi-
mates the empire, is strongly in the
direction Of increasing the partici-
patton Of the government in indus
trial eterprises. The Prussian legis-
lature acting upon a recommends
ton of the emperor, in the speech
from the throne at the opening of
the Diet in 1906, passed a bill extend
Ing widely an old act giving the
State the right to take over at val
uation any discovery of mineral
riches on private lands.
German manufacturing and mining
is rather more completely under the
control of combinations than is the
industry of any other country. The
closely organized syndicates in the
coal and iron industries control pro-
duction and selling prices more effec-
lively than does the United States
steel corporation in the United States.
The Prussian government, in it's de-
sire to have a. seat in the coal syn
dicate, determined three years ago to
buy controlling interest in the
shares Of the Hibernia Coal Com
pany, mining per cent. of the coal
in the e-Westphalian region. The
Dresdner Bank, acting under a pri-
vate arrangement with the Prussian
treasury bought shares on the stork
exchange until a majority Of the cap
italization had been acquired The
announcement that Prussia had
bought the control of the company
SO veXed the group of coal owners who
had previously ruled the company
that they increased the capitalization,
and issued the new shares to them
selves, thus reacquiring majority

SPANS RICH CITY.
Few In America Realize the Indus.
trial Wealth OF Barcelona.

1t Is not surprising that, If Spain.
always more or less agitated by in
ternal dissensions, should have seri-
Gus troubles, they should centre in
Barcelona, says a writer in Leslie's
Ihe chief seaport Of the nation is
here, and here congregate in great
numbers those grades of society
which are generally opposed to any
organized government Here one
finds the richest and the poorest
both disturbing elements but for diff
ferent reasons-one complaining of
unequal taxation and the other of
the restraints which the government
places upon license.
Few people in America realize the
industrial wealth of Barcelona or
how much she patronizes us fon,.aw
material. Over $4,000 people are
employed there in the cotton indus
try alone, and the exports of this
work amount to at least STE. 600 600
annually. A large amount of the
raw cotton used Is purchased in the
United States and shipped from Gal
weston, Texas. So, after all, Ameri-
ca Is more or less interested in this
section Of Spain. Living is cheaper
there than in any other city in Spain.
Rents are marvelously low, and I saw
a flat of fifteen rooms, with all mod.
ern appliances, on the Fifth avenue
OF the city, for which, the occupant
paid $45 per month. Indeed, a very
excellent apartment of ten rooms
can be obtained for $25. Labor,
however, III correspondingly low, and
the working class enjoys few luxuries.
The Catalan works with an unceas-
Ing energy which rather startles the
laborer of other parts of Alfonsos
country. Although he listens to agi-
tators, he is often quick to think for
himself, and he fights for what he
considers his rights with the same
energy and the government at Mad
rid will do we'll to heed to the cry of
this restless child before it Is too
late, for that cry is already finding
an echo in northern Spain.

son of KANSAS, progressive Republlc-
an, put out another report which they
maintained to be the majority opinion,
condemning the conduct OF Mr.. Bal
linger as secretary Of the interior.
The report was made public follow
ing a meeting of the committee IN
Minneapolis last September which was
not attended by some of the Repub,
licans who now have exonerated Mr..
Ballinger and therefore the natura.
minority became a majority and the
Republicans who were present, with
the exception of Mr.. Madison, with.
drew and broke the quorum.
In speaking of the luminosity" ere
ated by differences respecting the con.
servation of natural resources the ma,
jority of the committee said that the
accusers evidently had this policy
deeply at heart and were evidently
disposed to take a most untavorable
view of the character and motives OF
any one whom they supposed to be
opposed to their views. They thus
came to regard Mr., Balinger with
suspicion and to regard the most nat
ural and innocent acts occurring in
the ordinary course of department ad.
ministration as furnishing evidence OF
some sinister purpose" ..'..
MaJority's Specific Findings.
The report makes the following
specific findings:
"That tie charges and insinuations
against Secretary Ballinger in regard
to the Cunningham coal land entries
or other coal land claims in Alaska
are not justified and his conduct in
respect thereto is not justly censur'
able .: ...
"That the restoration of water pow
er sites by Secretary Ballinger were
made in good faith and not in enmity
to the government and that no injury
appears to have been done to the gov
eminent and the cause of conserva
ton by either the restoration or with
drawals.
'That, in view of the opinion of the
attorney general, he was justified in
abandoning the use of the so called
water users cooperative certificates
in connection with the reclamation OF
arid lands.
''That the administration of the
reclamation law presented features
justly subject to criticism. No unfair
criticism or improper conduct on Sec
rotary Ballinger's part has been
shown nor any action by him not with.
in the sound discretion of the head of
the interior department in the faithful
performance of his duty.
THAT he is not an enemy of, nor
hostile to, a reasonable and judicious
policy of conservation, and that no
ground whatever has been shown JUS
tifying the opinion that he is not a
faithful and efficient public officer"
