This paper was published by the
Government and every voter was free to subscribe for it without cost,
but no advertisements were allowed in it. It published the work of every
department of the Government and all bills approved by Parliament, and
all laws recommended by the Parliament for whilst the Parliament could
approve and legalize all Government expenditures, it could only
recommend by a two-thirds vote the amending or creating of any acts
pertaining to the Political, Civil and Penal Codes, which had to go
before the people at the next general election, when they became the law
of the land by a two-thirds vote of the qualified voters who took part
in the election, and had a universal circulation, as the Government
owned and operated all railways, telegraphs, teleposts, telephones,
wireless telegraphy stations and levees, all water power, steamers and
boats for freight and passenger service, and, in fact, all public
utilities.
Besides, the Government manufactured and sold all liquors, tobaccos,
drugs, teas, salt, sugar, coals, petroleum, lumber, iron in pigs and
steel in plates and bars. It is easy to see that the Bank of Eurasia
transacted an immense volume of business daily.
