BANK OFFERS AUSTRIA
MONOPOLY OF MATCHES
Company to Turn Over Plants
in Fifteen Years

The general manager OF the Austrian
Landerbank has submitted to the Aus
trian government a proposition to take
over the entire manufacture of matches
in Austria, and guarantee certain an
nual profit to the government, instead
of permitting individual concerns to
continue the manufacture of matches.
The bank agrees to establish a lin
tied company, with a capital of 10000
900 crowns (s10.150, ,00O), which would
purchase all the existing match fac
tories in Austria This company would
then sell matches to the Austrian to-
bacco monopoly at L As he1lers
($00036) per box OF SO matches. and
matches would only be sold to tobacco
stores licensed to sell such products
and would retail at four hellers
($0.00s). The present price is 5 hellers
($0.02639) for 10 boxes. It is proposed
to give the tobacco monopoly and the
cigar retailers a commission of one
fifth of a heller ($0.0004) a box, which
added to the price charged the govern
ment, namely, / 4-5 hellers. would
make the total cost two hellers a box
(two -ffths of a. cent?, hence the gov
ernment would realize net profit of
two hellers for each box of matches
sold.
The company proposes to guarantee
to the government an annual profit of
5,000, 900 crowns ($3,045,000), and also
100000 crowns (s609.0o0) commission
to the tobacco monopoly and cigar
dealers. Aside from these guarantees
the company proposes to pay an ex-
port tax on matches exported amount
ing to at least 100000 crowns ($81,20Ol
annually After a period of Is years it
is agreed that all the match factories
shall become the property of the gov
ernment without any compensation.

CLUBMfN HAVE TO
FACE JURY TRIAL
Walter j. Wayte and G. P. Grim
wood Held for Obtaining
Money Falsely
William II. Ford Invests Largely
in What He Alleges Was
a Bogus Enterprise


Walter J. Wayte and Charles p.
ing company were held for trial before
the superior court by Police Judge
Deasy yesterday on a charge OF OBJ
tanning money by false pretenses after
a preliminary hearing extending over
two months. The complaining witness
is William H. Ford 1908 Larkin street,
a well known contractor.
Wayte, Grimwood and Ford were
members of the Bohemian club. and the
defendants got Ford interested in the
Pacific pigment company near Elm
hurst. 1t was represented to Ford that
the concern needed more money to
carry 1T on and that at the works 260
tons of lime rock were used monthly
making $50 tons of whiting at profit
of $1,942.50. On these representations
Ford altogether invested $4,000 In stock
in the concern
Ford alleged that the representations
were entirely false and, on making an
investigation, he found that the works
were being run at loss of $1,000 a
month. The works lay idle nearly all
the time and it was only when a pros
pecttve investor went there that they
were kept going SO as to give the I'M
preston that it was hive of industry.
Ford brought the matter before the
grand jury several months ago, but no
action was taken. Then the facts were
laid before Judge Deasy and, after he
had listened to the attorneys on each
side, he decided to issue the complaint
January II last. The amount alleged
in the complaint is $4,000, and the date
August IL, 1909. The defendants bonds
were each fixed at $500, or $3.50 cash.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
I have beer regularly reading lately
the appeals in your paper for cross seats
on the new P. a Y r. cars about TO be
generally installed. The public certainly
ought 10 appreciate the stand YOU have
taken in the matter, especially when the
other papers have remained silent on
the subject.
That the cross-seat P. A. 7. 2. car,
with low windows and wide doorways,
such as one in use on the Fourteenth
street line. are the only type of z. A.
Y Z. car to use. and are the only rea-
sonable substitute for a genuine open
car in pleasant weather. need not be
argued.
Boston, with its short and temperate
summer. is well provided with open cars.
We with our much longer summer
should at least be provided with street
railway rolling stock that is 1 good sub
stitute for open cars
A great many people spend at least
an hour a day In street cars and should
be made comfortable while doing so.
I have an idea that the Brightwood
railway loses a good deal Of Sunday
traffic because Of the type of car used
on that line incidentally, neiShbors on
the other side Of the cars are not always

KEYNOTE OF THE PRISON RE-
FORM MOVEMENT.

What may appropriately be termed
the keynote of the prison reform move
ment, has been uttered by one of the
delegates to the American Prison As
ISOLATION, who, in describing the chic;
aim of prison reform, said:
The reform of prime necessity is
the indtvidualiZing of our prison Sys-
tenn, by which ] mean the attempt to
reform our prisoners. not rs masses
but as individuals. VIC have come TO
see that il is the prisoner, not the
crime, that needs to be dealt with.
This is the underlying principle upon
which the leaders in the prison reform
movement are working, and it is the
principle upon which our criminal laws
and our penal Institutes must be
founded if we are to make Roadway
in retaining offenders against society.
The Juvenile court has demonstrated
that each offender must be dealt with
separately, and that when this prac-
tice is followed, the desired results can
be obtained. The same principle must
be applied to adult offenders.
Hard and fast rules are impractical
Specific penalties for given offenses de-
feat the hope of reformation One in
divdual, who commits a certain crime
may require treatment wholly different
from that accorded another individual
who commits the same crime. a study

MORE INSTRUMENTATION A,
TO DIRECT PRIMARIES.

More misinformatiOn concerning the
workings of the direct primary system
comes from New York than from any
other part of the country. That is due
largely, of course, 10 the methods of a
stacked legislative committee which
was sent out for the purpose of mis-
stating facts concerning direct pri-
maries, and which did what it was
ordered to do. Nothing quite as bad
has come, even from New York, in the
past, as the statement of Assembly
man Conkling, made to the Republican
State convention. He said:
The system of direct nominations
in Massachusetts, after ten years use
has been for the most part abandoned,
and there has been a return TO the
delegate and convention system. The
author OF direct nominations in MasSa-
chusetts told me that the system was
Ubiquitous
OF course, that is not so. The man
who made the statement knew moth
ing of what he was taking, OF DELHI
erately said what he did for tenn
porary political effect. Direct primaries
have not been abandoned in Massa-
chusetts. The system is being ex-
tended, even against the wishes of the
bosses of the dominant party.
1t Is true that under direct primary
systems the best possible candidates
are not always nominated, but that is
not the fault of the system. No sys-
TEN Will give better candidates than
the people want. Under the primary
system the people are becoming edu-
Gated Not yet do they fully appre-
ciate their opportunities and duties.
Until they do, it is not surprising that
now and then they nominate men for
office who are not what they should be.
But the opponents OF direct pri-
maries should not imagine for minute
that they can abolish the system by
deliberate menG5sCT5T.
