12- B THE OMAHA SfNDAY BEE: APRIL 26, 191 BOOKMAKING JS LEGALIZED German Authorities Capitulate to Gaming Instinct. GOVERNMENT TO SHARE PROFIT ftlx Per Cent AVIII lie Charged on All nets Kntercd nnd Ornrtnated Tax Additional AVIII Be Assessed on Oriri. BERLIN, April 35, The German au thorities have again capitulated to whRt thev term "the Ineradicable framing In stinct of the average person." After win Untied and vain attempts to put an end to promiscuous betting on horse races. which involves a sum .yearly estimated ! Rt between JIEO.000,000 nnd jmoOO.Onn, they have derided to license bookmaklng In an tffort to secure for the state a pcr tmtago of this sum. A measure to this end, already reported briefly by cable, has been adopted by the Federal Council end is now awaiting the action of the liel hslag It Is hoped to have it Income effective in time for the Baden-Baden races next August. Henhorore the only form of betting nan' tloncd by law has been by means of the pari-mutue! matching. This, how ex e . was available only to persons able to visit the racetracks. The result Is thai a vast army of bookmakers, " esti mated at 8,000, ply their business In de fiance of the law. In addition every baibershop and thousands bf cafes and similar resorts harbor their handbook men Competent authorities estimate the number of business places where wagers can be laid on horse races at over 3XUO0. Pronations for bookmaklng Increased from 1,600 In 1KHS to 3.000 In 1311 For tho tnost part they resulted In trivial fines cor Khort Jail sentences, and the business went ahead Just the same. The bettor, too, is outside the law, and han to remedy against dishonest handbook men or book makers who refuse to settle winning wrtgers, The number of licensed bookmakers Is not fixed in the new nleasure, but It Is understood that the government con templates licenses for about fifty, scat tered throughout tho enplre, each , of which will be entitled to establish branch offices to meet the demand. Notwith standing rigorous provisions against Il licit betting, punishing both bookmaker nnd bettor tthe latter with fines' up to $2W. experts believe that Illicit books will continue to flourish, not only be cause the wage-earners, clerks nnd small-salaried men who today furnish the bulk of the handbook custom cannot afford the minimum atake or IIS, hut be cause the heavy taxation of the licensed bookmaker will enable 'the handbook men to offer far better odds. Since R per Cent of every bet entered will go to the government as an initial tax. and winning bets will be mulcted with an additional tax of from 6 per tent on beta at odds of 2 to 1 or less, up to 30 per cent on the long shot of 20 to 1 or better, the man who playa a heavily backed, odds-on favorite, say at 7 to E, may risk a possible fino rather than the oentaln less of nearly halt of his scanty winnings. To backers of 100 to X out siders the prospective surrender of Rome S2S of a HOO win wilt be equally deter rent Other Dettlnn: Prohibited. Limiting authorized gambling under this law to horse racing, the government In Us introduction to the bill pronounced against betting on foot ball and other sports popular with the "middle and lower classes," to save them from the gambling contagion. Officers and soldiers are also slassed In the undesirable cate gory, bookmakers being forbidden to ac cept bets from members of the military forces, and betting on races with gentle men jockeys Is also prohibited. An Important provision of the proposed law makes winning wagers collectible at law. provided they nro each cash wagers This, it Is believed, will greatly reduce; the number of dishonest bookmakers. The maximum penalty for unlicensed book making Is to be two years' Imprisonment and S1.C00 fine, as against six months and ICS, at present. Bettors dealing with un licensed bookmakers also make them selves liable to Imprisonment and fine, and to the loss of all sums wagered, which will be confiscated by the state. The police may forbid the publishing of tips and form sheets. The government estimates that the new law will produce at least 8,000, 000 yearly, of which $!,000,000 will go to the states where tho races in question are held, to be devoted to the encouraging of horse breeding, and t,0,000 to the federal treasury. Despite the reduction of the tax on pati-mutuel takings. It Is not be lieved that return will be below tho present figures, which are approximately $3,000,000 yearly, since betting through the machines is to be permitted, with re ttrlcttons, on races outside Germany. t'nder the existing law, the machines may bs employed only for domestic races.
