It would be a big mistake to in
fer that because the Duma has ob
tained control in Russia, that coun
try has become thereby a democracy.
To hold to that belief would betray
a total ignorance of conditions
under which the Duma Is chosen.
As most are unfamiliar with the
nature of that Russian institution
a few words as to the constitution
which the Tzar granted his people
will not be amiss.
The Duma has not got very much
power under the Tzar. It does haxe
scrutiny of the government esti
mates and may approve or disap
prove the budget subject to a re
version of such action by the higher
governing body. It has power to
arrange for public works and to con
trol in a great measure the educa
tion of the Empire. It is strictly
in practice an advisory body, far
mori than it can be considered in
practice a legislative body and its
persistent inclination to consider it
self a legislative body as it is in
theory, has kept it in hot water al
most since its establishment.
Its constitution is most elaborate,
and especial pains were taken so
that the upper classes of Russia
would have a permanent majority
in the chamber.
The Council of the Empire is the
I'pper house. The minisu vs chosen
by the emperor, are ex officio mem
bers. OS are appointive and OS
are elective member®. Of the
elected members three arc returned
by the monks, three by the secular
clergy, eighteen by the corporation
of nobles, six by t,:e academy of
sciences and universities, thirty
four by the governments having
Zemstvos, 1 •’> by those having no
Z.mstvos, six by industrial councils,
v t,v the Chambers of Commerce,
and six by Poland.. It is commonly
known as the Sovyct.
The Duma or lower house consists
of 4 42 members, the same being
ele tive but by such a method as to
assure that the wealthy, the nobil
ity and the powerful will always
be in an immense majority as they
always nave oeen.
The method of election is briefly
as follows: Leal adminstrative
bodies known as the Zemstvos, the
municipal dumas, the \olosts or can
ton of mirs send representatives to
an electoral college who in turn
elect the members of the Duma. In
the primary electoral assemblies
the larger landed proprietors sit in
person, the lesser proprietors by de
legates. The city or town dumas
are divided into two categories ac
cording to their wealth electing de
legates direct to the electoral coll
ege of the government, the division
of the bodies into members accord
ing to the amount of taxes paid as
suring always a preponderance of
wealth in the delegates chosen. The
peasants are represented through
delgatcs direct from the Volosts,
and hence are always overwhelmed
hy the numerically superior Zemst
vos. A3 for the workers their re
presentation is through the indus
trial concerns and hence not they
hut the employers find most repre
sentation.
Now apart from these bodies
there are two others which aid the
Emperor in the execution of his
dutiest?). and these are the Holy
Synod and the Senate. The Holy
Synod is the supreme organ of the
Orthodox Church in Russia while
the Senate has an equivalent power
to and it is just as oligarchical and
real as, the Supreme Court of the
United States.
These two bodies have time and
time again chosen to over-ride the
actions of the constitutional bodies
and have been in real truth the
organs of the bureaucracy in the
government of Russia. Theoretically
dependent upon the Council of Mi
nisters (which is the cabinet) they
have taken good care that the cabi
net will be their tools.
In the face of the most peculiar
reactionary constitution of tiie
Duma, it may be inquired why it is
that it presented such a radical
career relatively speaking in Rus
sia.
The explanation can be explainer
readily by analogy, and the story
of the struggle of the Parliament,
that is the Commons, against the
King and the Lords in England
under King Charles will furnish a
whole parallel. The Duma faced
the entire might of Russian govern
mental power, and saw the little
rights which hart been conferred
upon it emasculated by the Senate,
the Sovyet, the Holy Synod and the
Council of Ministers. And this oc
casioned resistance, because really
the economic interests represented
by the Duma and those by its higher
politcal foes were to a great extent
antagonistic.
It is true that these higher bodies
were also somewhat curbed by the
apparently plausible ukase of the
Tzar whereoy it was declared that
no measure could become a law
without the consent of the Duma.
; But as this did not subject the far
greater power of imperial veto to
any limitation, there is no particular
reason to regard this ukase with any
particular veneration as an offering
| to the Goddess of political free
dom.
What has been happening in
i Russia has been the natural evolu
tion of power from a class higher
in the social scale to a lower. I?
partakes in a great measure of the
nature of a similar revolution that
occurred in Great Britain just at the
Commonwealth and in France at
the time of the Great Revolution
I and the tendency has been foi
wealth to take the place of nobilii..
in the administration of govern
ment.
This process seems to be inevit
able in every country, and the sur
i , . ss of a great bourgeois class to
'power seems to mean the. ending
| of the power of an autocracy or a
j:iobU:-s. The transition is gradu
al not cataclysmic, and the consum
j ination of the revolution in Russia
during the past few days while ap
pearing cataclysmic, is merely the
realization of a movement which has
I been proceeding with accelerated
| motion for considerably over a
I quarter of a century; a movement
i which was increased in motion b>
the establishment of the Duma, and
I still further accelerated by the cir
| cumstances of the war. It was flu
I bureaucracy which was the govern
mental machinery called upon to dc
the most strenuous service and tc
bear the most intensive pressure
and it broke down under it. but it
would have eventually have broker
down from sheer political and socia
wear and tear after longer period!
in peace.
We cannot better conclude tills
article than the able summary bj
Karl Kaustky in the Neue Zeit pub
lished as far back as 1905 when an
.other but abortive revolt occurred it
j Russia: "These (social) forces art
working so energetically and sc
irresistibly for proletarian interest:
that we have not the slightest reasot
to take a pessimistic view of ltus
sian affairs or to speak of a chao:
in the Russian democracy. Chao:
exists far less in the ranks of the
socialists than in the ranks of the
ruling classes. It is there we fine
dissension, anarchy and mutual an
tagonism on the increase . . . Thli
chaos will grow ever greater, bu
In the degree that it grows wil
grow the power and influence o
an industrial proletariat, unitec
through the teachings of the clast
struggle, impressing more and more
its stamp upon the new Russia, that
will finally arise from the chaos.’
So it is. This is not the Nes
Russia that the Duma has formed
but It is the within this Russia that
the embryo of the new, regenerated
Russia will be formed.
