Any   prisoner   who   did   not   bathe   was   placed   in   solitary   confinement   for 

three   days   on    bread   and   water�察  �then   taken   to   the   bathhouse   and   well

     Two prisoners were assigned to work as chiropodists to keep the feet 

of the prisoners in good condition�察�and the laundrymen�察�besides washing 

and    ironing    all  the  clothes�察  �sheets   and   pillowcases�察    �had   to  wash     and

corps with barracks on all sides�察�escapes by prisoners were very rare。 

     On marching out of the dining´room after breakfast the roll was called�察�

and also after supper�察�by the captains of companies�察�and after nine p。 m。 

the doors were locked and no smoking or talking was permitted。 

     A parole commissioner appointed by the Minister of Justice resided at 

the    prison�察  �who    was    also  Superintendent       of  the   Night   School�察   �with 

authority to parole any prisoner according to law that in his judgment was 

a fit person to be paroled。 A paroled prisoner�察�if he did not have friends to 

take   care   of   him�察  �was   given   employment   by   the   Government�察  �and   no 

money   deposit   was   required。   The   Government   paid   over   to   him   what 

money   he   had   earned�察  �and   gave   him   a   dress   suit   and   a   working   suit   of 

clothes and two changes of underclothing´by those acts of justice giving 

him    encouragement        to  become     a  useful    member     of   society。   He   was 

required to report by a letter once a month to the Governor of the District 

from which he came�察�and the Governor was authorized by law to pardon 

him when he thought proper。 Those rules and regulations applied equally 

to both sexes。

                              CHAPTER IV。 



                              THE BANK OF EURASIA。 



     Leaving     the   prison�察  �I  returned   to  the   Capitol   and�察  �calling   at  the 

Department   of   Finance�察  �was   given   a   copy  of   the   laws   governing   it�察  �and 

learned   that   it   operated   under   the   name   of   the   Bank   of   Eurasia�察  �with 

headquarters in the capital�察�having a branch in every district and in every 

town of one thousand inhabitants or more。 It paid out all money owed by 

the Government and received and receipted for all taxes due�察�and accepted 

all deposits from one dollar upwards�察�and issued all banknotes and bills of 

exchange�察 �and   in   consequence there   were   no panics   and   no   necessity  of 

issuing clearing´house certificates。 To avoid the folly of locking up large 

amounts      of  money     received    for  taxes  each    year  on   the  one   hand�察  �or 

permitting stock´gamblers and money´sharks�察�on the other hand�察�to use it�察�

each district was allowed by law to issue district banknotes of one dollar 

denomination�察  �guaranteed   by   the   Government�察  �drawing   two   per   cent。   a 

year interest up to eighty per cent。 of the yearly expenses of the district。 

The taxes were payable on the first day of November�察�and if not paid on 

that   day   a   delinquent   tax   of   ten   per   cent。   The   banknotes   issued   by   the 

district were called in and canceled by this means�察�keeping the money of 

the people in circulation。 

     Every branch bank in a district was required to send daily accounts of 

all money received and paid out to the central branch bank of the district�察�

which in turn sent a daily account of all bank transactions in the district to 

the Bank of Eurasia at the capital。 No district treasurers were required�察�nor 

treasurers in any department of the Government�察�but vouchers to be paid 

by the Government had to be signed and scaled by the proper authorities。 

The bank also conducted a National Lottery�察�with tickets for sale at every 

branch bank for one dollar per ticket�察�drawings monthly�察�and the highest 

prize  drawn   was   five   thousand dollars�察  �and   the   lowest   five   dollars。   Five 

per    cent。   of  the   gross    proceeds    going    to   the  Government       for   the 

maintenance and education of orphan children。 The amount received each 

month and the names of the prize winners was published in the National

Gazette   ��a   weekly   paper���察  �and   a   copy   sent   to   every   prize   winner。   This 

paper   was   published   by   the   Government   and   every   voter   was   free   to 

subscribe for it without cost�察�but no advertisements were allowed in it。 It 

published the work of every department of the Government and all bills 

approved by Parliament�察�and all laws recommended by the Parliament for 

whilst     the    Parliament      could    approve      and    legalize    all   Government 

expenditures�察�it could only recommend by a two´thirds vote the amending 

or creating of any acts pertaining to the Political�察�Civil and Penal Codes�察�

which had to go before the people at the next general election�察�when they 

became   the   law   of   the   land   by   a   two´thirds   vote   of   the   qualified   voters 

who   took   part   in   the   election�察  �and   had   a   universal   circulation�察  �as   the 

Government         owned      and    operated     all  railways�察    �telegraphs�察    �teleposts�察�

telephones�察     �wireless     telegraphy     stations    and   levees�察   �all  water    power�察�

steamers   and   boats   for   freight   and   passenger   service�察  �and�察  �in   fact�察  �all 

public utilities。 

     Besides�察�the Government manufactured and sold all liquors�察�tobaccos�察�

drugs�察�teas�察�salt�察�sugar�察�coals�察�petroleum�察�lumber�察�iron in pigs and steel in 

plates   and   bars。   It   is   easy   to   see   that   the   Bank   of   Eurasia   transacted   an 

immense volume of business daily。 

     The bank coined gold in denominations of fifty dollars�察�twenty dollars�察�

ten   dollars   and   five   dollars�察  �silver   in   dollar�察  �fifty   and   twenty´five´cent 

pieces�察�nickel in ten´cent and five´cent pieces�察�and aluminum in one´cent 

pieces。 All money coined with ten per cent。 alloy and at bullion value。 The 

coinage   was   readjusted   every  ten   years   and   silver�察  �nickel   and   aluminum 

coins were exchangd for gold at their face value。 The Government issued 

banknotes drawing two per cent。 a year�察�and loaned money on land and on 

goods     in   the  Gov
