The rise in prices in England, however, is easily support- ed, owing to the low prices prevailing in ordinary times.

Britioh System Ts Protesd As. Lose Burdensome Than Teuten ow Method. Dr. Helfferich, the German financial secretary, some time ago laid stress on the advantages of German finance as Sompared with ig methods, but some critics, even Germany, have since realized that it is a short-sighted policy to raise taxation merely to maintain a balance in the civilian-bud- get, while the colossal expenditure of the war remains to be covered entire- 3 by os loans, writes a London cofres- to 'Vorwaerts goes so far 'as to express preference, by implication, for the British system of finance and taxation. That jotenal says: "It the English State has to pay almost b per cent. interest for its loans, it must not be forgotten that it recovers a-considerable percentage in the shape of taxes. Thus, in war no less peace, the. Baglisi system atom: of economy examp! which no other country has yet been able to emulate." ' It is a significant fact that the name of the war profits tax law of Germany has been altered to that of the war tax law, in order to express the fact that it is not properly 'a tax on profits. Urge Tax on Capital Since the outbreak of the war vio- -- struggle has been in progress in Reichstag between the Govern- ment and the Social Democratic 'and or parties. The latter have urged that' the capital and industry of the gapire should be made to bear a far vier share in the way of direct taxation, while the Government par- ties have favored indirect taxes, main- taining that further direct taxation is out of the question. - In ur that the tax on war pro- fits should be raised the -Socialists maintain that undue consideration is jotows for the interests of the pro- agrarion elasses. All indirect taxation, the Socialists maintain, bears too heavily on the working clagses. It is argued, with not alittle shrewdness, that if Germany cannot stand further taxation on property, then the Government may as well de- | clare the empire to be bankrupt, as all idea of any adequate war indemnity must be abandoned, In financial matters Austria and (ALL DEALERS C.Briggs & Sons .
