Blaclmail is also a recognized insti-
tuition in Persia. Despite the avowed
hostility of the present ruler to the
ancient "mudakhil'' or 'pickings." this
species of extortion or graft rs still
as essential business principle in Per
sia. Before Muzaffer-ed-Din came to
the throne in 1896, on the assassina-
ton of his father, graft was not only
the basic principle Of commerce, but
Of government as well. and such 1t had
been since time immemorial. For ex-
ample the shah sold his appointments
of the provincial governorships to the
highest bidder. The governors sold
the privilege of farming the taxes for
a certain sum to the ,kalantar" or
tax collector, who exacts a certain
percentage or "mudakhil" from his
underlings.
The taxpayer, too has his revenge
in obtaining ''mudakhil' from those
below him. II he is merchant he
adds 10 per cent to his prices for re
inbursement. If q broker he puts into
his bill to his client the simple item

Standing Rewards for Capture of Ban.

dts Seldom Paid by Government.
Brigands are constantly giving
trouble to the Italian government
which seems rather strange in view OF
the fact that rewards are assured
to any persons who wage a successful
war against these law-breakers. Ac-
cording to an edict which dates back
to the time when the Pope was all
powerful in Italy. and which is still
in force. anyone who captures bri-
gand alive and who hands him over
to justice is entitled to a reward of
1900: anyone who kills brigand will
receive a reward of $500: anyone who
captures brigand chief will get
$1,000. and any brigand who betrays
an accomplice will be pardoned for his
past crimes and will receive 500 as
an additional reward. This last re.
ward has seldom been paid. since
Italian brigands are not accustomed
TO betray each other
