chem, director of the department of
agriculture, breaches this doctrine. AS
the law does not -countenance it, he
goes behind the law. This was recent
ly done in regard to two Scheremetieff
properties in Moscow and Voronezh
provinces. The properties are worth
$3,000,000. The owner proposed to
sell them to land speculator named
Yelkin. Yelkin has a two-year-old
dispute with the state in regard to
taxation of his present estates The
government lost the case and the re-
suit is loss of some millions of
rubles from taxes of other estates.
Krivoschein came to the conclusion
that Yelkin must not be allowed to
buy more land. He therefore got
Nicholas II to issue private prohibi-
ton to Scheremetieff against selling
his estates and the prohibition,
though not lawful, had to be obeyed.
Krivoschein declares that the po-
litical hegemony of the state depends
upon the noncentration of land by in
dividuals In the end, he says, the
Russian state will claim final control
over all land. The land and the profits
from it will be left in private hands,
but the disposal of it by sale will be
subject to the control of the state.
"Only the state is fit to handle the
vast accumulations of capital and the
vastly increased land values which
| are the fruits of modern economic de-
| velopment."
If this theory is carried out the Rus
| sian state will have in its hands either
| as absolute owner or as controller
everything worth having. 1t already
owns outright 10000 miles of state
railroads; all telegraphs; the vodka
monopoly; and lands which cover a
sixth of the area of the empire, and
are bigger than any single European
state. The stock exchange. the iron
and sugar industries, and, finally, the
| privately owned lands are already un-
der government control. This process
is bound to go further.
Duma Member Volkoff, who as a
cadet" is a strong opponent of gov
ernment policy, says that the new
money autocracy will be bad for pri-
vate individuals. A state which, in
stead of unchallenged political power,
! has unchallenged money power, will
be able to disregard popular wishes
in a way impossible in the past. The
control of a country by money power
of which much is now being heard In
regard to South America, will soon be
in Russia an accomplished fact. "By
it's unparalleled accumulations oi
wealth and its unlimited power to hurt
or help individual interests, the Rus
sian state has a far stronger weapon
than even its 100000 soldiers and its
system of police espionage"
The time is near, says Volkoff, when
Russians will be slaves of the money
power of the state. Our people have
always been slaves. But whereas for
merly under Plehve and Sipyagine
they were slaves of the ministry oi
the interior they are in future destined
to be slaves of the ministry of finance
The former slavery was the more oh
vious, but the latter is the more sub
tie and insidious. In the end servi
tude to- state money trust is likely
to prove the hardest servitude of all.
