The new method of taking
collateral at station houses
for first offenders in traffic
cases who do not wish to 60
to court may possibly be put
off until Comptroller General
McCarl has ruled on the
methods Of making such col
lections.
A form to be filled out in the
station houses has been prepared
by Inspector e. w. Brown and he
and Major Henry G. Pratt, super
intendent Of police. yesterday spent
some time going over final details
of the new method.
Each offense is listed and beside
it the amount to be charged by the
station clerk is listed, II person
elects to deposit 50 at the station
and does not demand trial in police
court this is noted on a receipt,
and the motorist can go on his
way rejoicing.
Burden On Police
Some details have not been en-
tirely threshed out and Inspector
Brown will probably confer with the
Comptroller General within the next
few days and iron out the last
wrinkles in the plan.
1t was hoped that the new sys-
TEN would be in operation by May
6. but this hardly seems likely now,
in the opinion of the inspector.

lieve considerable strain in the Of
flee of the corporation counsel at
the police court, through taking a
hands, 1t is piling plenty OF work
on the Police Department.
The principal feature. which in
Counsel will relieve his office of
considerable work. is the method
that will be employed in sending
reports from the precincts each
morning to the court. Those who
have elected to forfeit will be.
listed separately and those who de-.
nanded trial will have papers made
out in their cases.
May Change Mind
One danger. according to attor-
neys outside of the District service,
that the system may create is that
of having man decide TO forfeit
and his receipt is SO indorsed. That
same man may after all night re-
Election decide that he wants a trial
after all, and it is pointed out he
will have to be granted hearing
in court.
AS one attorney said, "a man
may not sign away his right of
trial on any offense. be it petty or
of feionious nature He can, of
course, plead guilty after ar
raignment.' =
This danger of accepting col
lateral in the station houses, those
interested point out, If many cases
as above cited arose. the office Of
the corporation counsel would be
in for more labor than it is at the
present time.
Major Pratt and Inspector Brown,
however, are prepared to give the
new system a whirI to determine
its value in saving labor and in
cidentalfy saving number of police
men from being compelled to spend
half their time in court to the detri
ment of their patrolling their beats

SURVEY BY
BOWMAN
UNDER
WAY

Establishment in the Dis
trict Of Columbia Of a one
man government, instead Of
the present Board Of Commits
sioners, is the aim Of . study
Of municipal affairs by Repre-
sentative Frank G. Bowman Of
West Virginia, member of the
House District Committee, he
announced today.
Representative Bowman, dis
satisfied with the tri-headed com
mission, faEors the appointment by
the President of a governor, who
would have access to the House
and Senate floors. and possibly
place on the District committees Of
both branches of Congress.
Suffrage Omitted
The study does not embrace the
moot question of District suffrage,
Bowman declared He Is satisfied
that the President would select an
able man Id head the District gov.
ernmeIit, with the advice of District
citizens
The West Virgtnian is inclined to
consider favurably local poll, by
which Washingtonians could sug-
gest several names to the CHIEF
Executive, with the request that
he choose one of the number.

government without the counsel OF

sional men and civic workers" Bow
man stated
1T Is a gigantic task, and must
be approached carefully and planned
thoroughly before embodied in q
bill.
Under the plan in Bowman's mind
at this time, the District would
have approximately the status of
territory. He would favor an
advisory council for the governor,
or else a District cabinet made up
Of department heads.
Buck-passing Evil

to fix responsibility on any one man

criticism of the present Commission.
ers. but it has long been evident
to many members of Congress that
the existing scheme of local gov
ernInent breeds buck.passing and
general shifting of responsibility.
He cited the rules by which po-
lice trial board decisions may be
appealed over the head or the super
intendent of police to the Commits
sioners.
Why should this be necessary?
he asked, Why should there be
1ny appeal outside of the depart
nent? These. trial board matters
&re police personnel problems. and
With a strong police administration,
/ would not be necessary to have
any such appeal. n
To Seek Advice
Bowman declared he thought the
District government would have
more dignity ana would be able to
give better service to Washington
under the direction of one man.
The governor would be paid a
salary commensurate with the I'm
portance and responsibility of his
office. and this. would attract able
executives to vie for the post. Bow

TRANSACTIONS HIGHER
THAN ORIGINAL WORKS
Prices of Books Printed in Germany
Advanced 100 to 200 Per Cent
by Other Countries.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
. BERLIN, October 12.-Some interest
ing figures have recently been published
here showing the marked difference in
cost Of books published In Germany and
Of translations Of the same books pub
lished in foreign countries. For some
reason translated German works COM
mand much higher prices abroad than
the original works do here. These diff
ferences are not to be accounted for
by the varying honorariums allowed to
the German authors or to the trans
lators. or by the perhaps better bindings
and Illustrations of the translations.
The average advance in cost through
translation seems to be about 80 per
cent.
A few instances are given Of very
unequal publication prices. Gundolf's
Caesar" costs marks ($2) in Ger
many, but SIS in the United States: Emil
Ludwigs Goethe" in the German edi-
ton costs % marks go. in English, a
ShillingS; Meier Graefes "DoStoyevSki
the Poet is priced at Is marks in Ger
many, Is shillings in England and So In
America; Spengler's famous "Untergane
deS Abendlandes" costs Is marks and
$780, Karl Helfferich's Geld uno
Banker" costs 20 marks and $3.50.
These figures indicate that German
original editions are from 100 to 200 pei
| cent cheaper than the translation;
abroad. German commentators take
this an an indication that Germany's
publishing trade has recovered and !:
| now capable of conducting a lively
competition in the markets Of the world

There remains admittedly foreign
pressure from democratic states In
europe and from the European labor
movement. Nothing. however, is ready
In those quarters. There is also pressure
exercised by big foreign industrial lead
ers who have dealings with the u. 8.
S. r., but these leaders do not find 1t
too difficult to work with the Napoleonic
regime of Stain.
Any violent upsetting of the Dictator
ship is out of the question, because the
enemy forces at home are unable TO
carry out such q plan. There may be
peasant risings. growls and groans from
workers and government servants; labor
may be disconnected and go show"
strikes and sabotage may be carried out
by q minority of the proletariat, but all
these things are far from being welded
in one big revolutionary movement.
I'VE put up with the Romanoffs for
800 wears" you will be told by Musco-
vites in a spirit of resignation, 80 why
should we not tolerate the Bolshevists
for 30?"
As regards a foreign war, it may be
said that the U. S. S. R., although with
out economic reserves and saddled with
a peasant class ready to mutiny and
desert, could nevertheless hold out for
a time by means of the very powerful
military and police forces at its disposal,
and thanks also to the patriotism Of the
city jewellers.
No Love for Poles.
st do not love the Bolshevists," said a
skilled worker to me. but how delighted
I should be to fire two or three shells
into the backs of the Poles"
Any serious war, though, would prob
ably be fatal to the dictators of the
Kremlin.
If such a thing should come, We must
not shut our eyes to the fact that the
government that would succeed the
BolsheviSt dictatorship would be one Of
the narrowest white reaction. The
noujik would vote, In his anti-Comn1u-
mist fury, for the most backward OF
anti-Reds.
This, in my opinion. would be pitt
able outlook for the whole world. Far
preferable to such a state OF AFFAIRS
would be the evolution OF the Soviet
system in the direction OF political and
economic democracy.
The Stain regime with the huge re-
sources afforded 1t by its economic and
political dictatorship and by the ma
neuvering ability which enables it to
avoid one crisis by creating another
still has a long life before it, though
recognize that such a life is to the dis
advantage of the mass of the Russian
people, of the international labor move
ment and of world progress in general
That is why consider 1t necessary
to make known the truth about Soviet
Russia, to destroy the mysticism Of the
Russian revolution and to disabuse
workmen and small bourgeois of their
extremist. anti-democratic illusions.
