er License fees and cancellation of
law violators' certificates reduced
the number Of beer parlors and
other retail beer and wine outlets in
Washington from CATO to 1921 in
the year ended December 81, 1885,
the state liquor board reported to-
day.
TIL 1885 legislature passed heavy
increases in the price of beer licen-
ses, raising some from $25 a year
to $3.50. Many small retail outlets
ceased handling beer or closed up
business. The figures represent all
types OF retail beer and wine licen-
SIS, including sale in BOTTLES and by
draft.
The boards survey showed only
one distiller has been licensed to
operate in Washington. It also
showed but one fruit distillery and
one rectifier's license issued.

sary, unless he should serve his
full sentence before doing so.
A tWo-year minimum sentence
could be reduced to 16 months by
earning 2,4OO points, a three-year
minimum to two years by earning
$500 points and a five-year mini
mum to 40 months by earning 5000
points, Olsen cited.
Tried Elsewhere
Similar credit" systems are
working satisfactorily at Chehalis
boys training school and the
Grand Mound girls school. No
other states use the plan, he said.
Cell block supervisors will make
daily records of obedience ratings
of each convict in his block. Shop
foremen will make daily reports
to the superintendent of the insti-
tuition on industrial work done and
school supervisors or chaplains
monthly reports on self-help.
In the latter division it would be
a prisoners ambition to improve
his mind by studying in the institu-
ton library or by good influence
on other prisoners.
Check Prisoners
The system, involving daily
check Of each prisoner by one or
more officials, will eliminate any
chance of momentary laxness of
guards or supervisors and cut
down chances of Jail breaks, Olsen
declared.
Prisoners sentenced for first de-
gree murder, treason, carnal knowl-
edge of a child under 10, or a ha-
bitual criminal under life imprison-
ment will not be eligible under the
point system.

bonds, and another $1,0OO,OOO re-
funded to farmers and mariners
buying tax-free gasoline. Coun-
ties in 1885 received $6,5cO,OOO.
Couldn't Maintain Highways
Highway offic as declared the
department would practically have
to close up shop if the county-city
moves were successful. Primary
state highways could not be main
tanned on that amount, $1,75O, 900
which would be left for the state,
and no new roads could be built ex-
cept by counties or cities.
Under the new flood control laws,
the highway department has to pay
for flood control work which pro-
tects any highway against flood
damage. Thus far this feature of
the law has not been invoked.

Martin Changes
Prison System
Will Install Point Method AT
State Prison And
Reformatory

OLYMPIA, February ga new
point system to encourage indus
try, behavior, improve discipline
and ambition of convicts at the
state penitentiary and Monroe re-
formatory was announced today by
Governor Clarence D. Martin.
The system was worked out at a
conference Monday with the state
board Of prison terms and paroles.
Superintendent j. M. McCauley of
the state penitentiary, and Olaf l.,
Olsen, director of finance.
Governor Martin said the system
authorized by the 1885 parole law
would give convicts something to
work for to secure earlier release
On good behavior and also provide
closer check on inmates to pre-
vent breaks like the one in which
eight men escaped the prison last
December. .
To Start AT Once
The point system will be inaug-
urated at the reformatory and pri-
son within the next two weeks or
as soon as details for enforcement
can be worked out, Olsen said.
Inmates will be allowed maxi
mum OF $50 points a month. They
can receive three points a day or
Is points a month for industry, two
points a day or go points month
for obedience to instruction rules
and half a point a day or is a
month for self-help.
May Cut Time

mum Of one year can earn 1900
points and be released automatic
ally after serving eight months.

State May Get
Higher Gas Tax
State Needs Funds For Highways;
Maintenance Is
Worry
ia II IL
Lose Federal Funds
Departments Biggest Problem Is
Preserving Revenue To
Maintain Roads

OLYMPIA February 3.-Heav-
Ter gasoline taxes, increased auto
license fees or both may be recon-
mended to the 1887 legislature as a
means of raising more highway
funds, according to indications here.
Faced with loss OF federal aid
funds amounting to two million or
more a year and with property tax
contributions towards roads cut 10
the bone, highway officials are
studying ways of raising sufficient
new revenue to construct as well as
maintain roads.
They pointed out $35,315,, 200 was
spent on all roads and streets in
1881. This fell to $19,958,OOO in 1888
Last year, due to PWA and WPA
programs, the total went up, but
these .boosts" are only temporary.
Road districts we're practically ell M
mated under the 40-mill law.
Counties Cities Want More
Counties and cities are seeking
larger and larger shares of the
SIS, 100000 collected annually for
the motor vehicle fund from gao
tax and licenses. Cites want Is
per cent of the gross and counties
% per cent.
Trends about the state indicate
cities also will want to use their
gas tax money for street cleaning
and street lights. An init alive on
lie would require the cities to use
half of ther Is per cent share to
Day off any city street or bridge
.ondS or warrants.
The highway departments biggest
worry at present is hiding and pre-
CRYING sufficient revenue to MAIN
Jain and construct roads.
Would Hurt State Roads
If counties and cities should win
their fight for a Ions share of the
gas tax, statisticians pointed out
the state highway department
might find itself with little money
for operations.
Giving counties SO per cent of the
gas tax, or $7,5OO,O0O, and, cities 3d.
100000 which is Is per cent, would
leave $3,750,O00 in the motor We
hicle fund. Out of that remainder
81 100000 will be subtracted yearly
until 1858 to retire emergency relief

NEW AID EXTENDED
TO FARM FAMILIES

Rural rehabilitation was extend
ed through emergency advances to
meet the serious situation arising
from lack of agricultural employ

and provide food, clothing, fuel,
medicine and subsistence goods to
distressed rural families III Che
Ian, Douglas and Okanogan coun-
ties, announces B. r. Phipps, local
rehabilitation supervisor, resettle-
ment administration.
Fruit pickers, harvest hands and
other agricultural laborers were in
cluded in the emergency phase of
the rehabilitation program insofar
as allotted funds permitted, accord
ing to instructions received from
H. E. Drew, state director. Scope of
the rehabilitation program now
embraces all distressed farm fam
lies whose income when last en-
ployed was derived from farming
operations, whether as tenant, own
err. renter or farm laborer.
Families in the emergency CLASH
fication should apply directly to
the county relief office located in
each county, to establish their eli
gibility for pubic aid,' Mr. Phipps
said. 'The relief agency certified
the families to the local rehabilita-
ton Office, where their needs were
listed and the application compile
ted. Checks were mailed directly
from the treasury discussing office
at Seattle.
"P manent rehabilitation
through loans and the setting up
Of a farm management plan, will
be undertaken for all qualified
families falling in the emergency
groups. Every effort will be made
to place as many families as pos
sible on self-supporting basis as
rapidly as plans for their perma-
nent rehabilitation can be COM
pleted."

WTASHINGTON-A mong the
w army of American Industrial

found one who is willing to pro-
vide factory employment for
dwellers on a federal subsistence
homestead. -.
"@ The great grief of the original

has been the fact that although a
score or more of the projects were
designed as Observation-Disclosures
communities, whose success would
depend on the presence o. factories
TO provide part-time employment
and cash income fcT homesteaders,
manufacturers have failed to move
in.

project at Reedsville, w. Va.
Julius Tuteur, president of the

Cleveland, o., has signed up TO
open an assembly plant for his
product at Arthurdale. He will
lease the government-huilt fac
tory there from the Arthurdale
Association, homesteaders' coop
erative group, and employ 40 or
SO of the heads of the 165 home
stead families which will occupy
Arthurdale when it's completed.
Tuteur has promised to abide by
all provisions Of the old NRA code
for his industry. '.r...
Tuteur was an immigrant boy
