For several weeks, different hotc

for the building of hotel in Braw

Hamilton Brothers, owners of a
chain of hotels in the San Joaquin

The Palm Springs offer was Of
similar character, except that 5 per

PERSIANS LOOK WITH
DISFAVOR ON THEFT
Dishonesty Severely Punished
IN the East.

Extreme honesty Is a racial trait pc
culiar to the Persian people, according
to Svend Langmack, representative of
a trading corporation of London, who
has made many trips to Persia and
knows the Interior of the country well.
"As there are no railroads in Persia"
said Mr.. Langmack, "all transportation
is made by caravan, camels being used
In place of freight cars. Though we
send both goods and money far into the
interior of Persia by strangers whom
we do not know and never see, we
never lose anything.
mo doubt their mode of punishment
for theft has something to do with 1t.
Theft is considered a very serious Of
Tense and the punishment is severe. A
person caught stealing or a person con-
victed of theft In Persia is sentenced
to have his hand cut OFF. Moreover, the
thief must tell which hand it was that
clutched the stolen article. The offend
ing hand is the one of which he is be-
reft. 1t Is an actual fact that theft Is
almost unknown In Persia. Probably
most would-be thieves, in view Of the
punishment, think the game isn't worth
1t.
For minor crimes-that is, those
falling below theft-the punishment is
the bastinado. Bastinado is an ex-
tremely old form of punishment, and
consists of beating the soles of the Of
tenders feet with sticks
"For capital offense-murder-the
murderer's head is cut off. So the Grim
inal code of Persia begins with the feet
and ends with the head.
Persia is divided into provinces,
and over each Of these provinces is a
governor appointed by the shah. For
the privilege of being governor, the
head Of each province must pay a Ger
tain amount to the shah every year.
This amount he EFFORTS from the people
by taxation, direct demand, or by any
old means he finds ~expedient. Conse-
Quently, Persia's development Is hardly
beyond the feudal state. In fact, they
do live under a system Of feudalism.
There are a few schools maintained
for persons Of high rank, where they
are taught reading and writing and the
Koran, but the more cultured and pro-
gressive of the Persian people send
their sons to the foreign universities.
In all of Persia, there is just
school for girls.
"But if ever Persia is able to build
her own railroads, / believe that the
added prosperity Of the country viii
enable her to reach u for cultured
betterment, for the Persians are an ex-
tremely trustworthy and mentally bril-
liant people" Pennsylvania Register.
