and by Timasheff, the minister of
trade and industry. The government
claims that it has right to declare
at what prices stocks and bonds shall
be Sold" AS long as stocks go up the
government is content, but it threat
ems trouble when they go down. The
assistant finance minister lately sum-
moned the chiefs of the exchange and
announced that "the bourse has, in
government opinion, fallen sufficiently
and it must not be allowed to fall any
more" He threatened disciplinary
measures against the brokers If the
fall continued. Timasheff is at pres
ent busy on plan of state interven-
ton by means of purchases whenever
stocks fall unpleasantly low.
BY artificially supporting stocks,
Russia aims at the protection Of her
own state property. For the same
reason she aims at controlling the
prices of products. She has already
fixed the prices of raw spirits and
sugar. and she has the same policy,

Zakrewski Of the South Russian

but, de facto, merely as subordinate
employees of the state. The annual
trade congresses nowadays merely

register the orders Of finance minis
ters. This is effected through the
government representatives who al
ways attend congresses. Formerly;
the representatives had the duty or
watching and reporting. Now they
aspire to lead the congresses. They
decide what is to be and what is not
to be said, and they practically dictate,
all price agreements. The law gives
the government representatives no,
power to do this. But the ironmasterst
depend for three-fourths of their Gus
tom upon state railroad and state ship
building orders and they are helpless
to resist M. Zakrewski says that
state control has already gone SO far
that the state might as we'll purchase
the ironworks outright.
In regard to private land, similar
policy is being pursued. Land is
potential economic rival of state
finance; and, therefore, land must be

Granite Worlds Bed Rock.

Granite is the lowest rock in the
worlds crust. It is the bed rock OF
the world. 1t shows no evidence of ami
NAL or vegetable life. 1t is from two
to ten times as thick as the united
thickness of all the other rocks. 1t
is the parent rock from which all
the other rocks have been either di-
rectly or indirectly derived.
1t is true that it does not contain
lime while limestones DO contain
that substance, but 1t furnishes the
foundation for animal growth, and
animal growth brings lime into exist
ence. 1t is claimed by scientists that
all the lime in the world has, at some
time, no doubt, been a portion OF
many different animals, and possibly
of human beings also.

hold the valve against the pressure

there was a rise of over fifty per cent

NICHOLAS, GEAR OF ALL RUSSIA,
PLANS A GIGANTIC MONEY Trust
State Is the Richest Europe Although People Are the Poorest
Nation Owns the Railroads and TeIegraphs and One
Sixth of All the Land-Russian State Bank Has
Very Large Bank Reserve.

The Russian State bank has now
bigger gold reserve than that of the
BanQue de France; and much bigger
reserve than the reserve of the Bank
of England and the German Reichs-
bank put together In April, 1913,
her gold reserve was $750,000,O00;
whereas the French figure was $685.
100000, the German $193, 100000 and
the English $151, 100000 The gold
reserves of other state banks have
stood still or gone back of late; the
Russian reserve alone has rapidly in
creased. Eight years ago stir was
made when Premier Kokovtseff. then
finance minister, allowed a newspa-
per man to see his glittering hoard OF
$400,000,000. That such big sum
existed skeptics had refused to be-
lieve. Today this sum is nearly
doubled. This gold reserve has the
function of backing Russia's issue of
credit notes. But the reserve is sufn-
cient for 81 per cent more notes than
have been issued against it. Witte de-
clares that if there is a great war Rus
STA will have recourse to forced eX-
change; and thus will be able to use
at least two-thirds of the gold hoard.
Russia aims at getting as much as
possible of the national substance into
state hands. What cannot be ac-
quired in this way is to be controlled.
The st. Petersburg stock exchange
has of late been put entirely under the
government thumb. The germ of this
policy dates from the days of Finance
Minister Vyschnegradslxi and his sue
cessor, Witte. who said: This view
is Endorsed by Premier Kokovtseff,

trend of the Mussulman world towards

Sardines in Galilee.

A company is about to be formed for
the establishment of fish curing and
sardine factory on the shores or the
Sea of Galilee. For the last year or
two great shoals of sardines have ap.
peared in these waters, and it ls
thought that remunerative industry
could be formed if only a concession
could be obtained for long term OF
wears at a uniform rate. Representa-
tons on the subject have already been
made to the authorities.

Meter for Your Coal.

We have heard of water meters and
gas meters, but who ever heard of a
meter for coal? Such a device is ac-
tually on the market, and is sold in
quantities. This is an instrument used
by big plants using coal in quantities
and loading down a chute. The meter
is placed in the trough and as the coal
slides past it is rotated by the move
ment and registers on the dial the
tons passing down the chute during
the day or period. The device is thor
oughly practical and is said to meas
ure the amount of fuel passing with
fair accuracy.

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 Scheremetieh
properties in Moscow and VoronezhA
provinces. The properties are worth
100000 The owner proposed to
sell them TO land Spectator 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 a loss of some millions or
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 a private prohibit
ton to Scheremetieff against selling
his estates and the prohibition.
though not lawful, had to be obeyed.
Krivoschein declares that the pc
litical hegemony of the state depends
upon the concentration 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 aud 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 it's 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
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 I'M
der government control. This process
is bound to go further.
Duma Member Volkoff, who as a
cadet is strong opponent of gov
eminent 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 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
its unparalleled accumulations of
wealth and its unlimited power to hurt
or help individual interests, the Rus
sian state has far stronger weapon
than even it's 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 of
the interior they are in future destined
to be slaves of the ministry of finance
The former slavery was the more OBJ
vious, but the latter is the more sub
tie and insidious. In the end servi-
tude to a state money trust is likely
to prove the hardest servitude of ALL"
