THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
FLORENCE, Jar. 20, EvErma.
In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
Signor Cambray Digny, the Minister of Finance,
made his financial statement. He anticipates a
deficit for 1889 of 240 millions of lire. He pro-

poses to cover this by the imposition of a new
tax, the development of existing taxes, and
by the reorganisation of the principal branches
of the public administration. The only new
tax proposed is a tax upon grinding, which will
apply to all substances subject to that process,
whether comestible or not. On cereals this tax
will only amount to 2} centimes per kilogramme,
the total net profit of which to the state is esti-
mated at 76 millions of lire. The millers will
,be empowered to collect the tax. The develop-
ment of existing taxes will include the exten-
sion to all the provinces of the tax upon
lgovernment concessions, which will produce an
rug:ream of four millions of um. —The. ref gat:lo-
stamp taxes are to be more regularly coil .
!The tax on bills of exchange is to be reduced.
From these two measures the increase to the re-
venue is estimated at 19 millions. The reorgani-
sation of the government tobacco manufactories
will effect an eooncmy of seven millions of
lire, and yield in future an annual re-
venue of two millions of lire. The in-
come tax being much greater than in England,
' the minister proposes to abolish it, and in its stead
to substitute a general tax on all incomes whether
from earnings or property, thereby producing a
benefit to the state revenue of 42 millions of lire.
Radical changes are to be effected in the method of
collecting the taxes, the present system being
both vexatious and expensive, and offering
facilities to fraud. A re-organisation of the
public administration on this subject will be intro-
duced. Signor Cambray Digny announced that
the Minister of the Interior will shortly present a
bill for the general re-organisation of the central and
provincial administration, establishing a distinction
between the responsibility of the minister and the
heads of departments, transferring various func-
tions to the prefects, and generally effecting
an extensive decentralisation. A bill will
be brought in transferring the service of
the Treasury to the National Bank, which
will not, however, have any concern in col-
lecting the taxes. One uniform law for the whole
kingdom will be introduced relative to the collec-
tion of taxes, according to which all direct taxes will
be collected by the municipalities under the control
of. government inspectors. These reforms, it is
estimated, will produce an immediate benefit to the
treasury of 14 millions of lire, thereby reducing the
, deficit for 1869 to 78 millions, which the minister
hopes will be covered by the development of com-
imercial prosperity.
In conclusion, Signor Cambray Digny expressed
a hope that the measures indicated would be
adopted. He regarded them as of urgent neces-
sity, and if delayed beyond the present year, the
difficulties of Italian finance would become involved
past remedy. The minister states that the deficit
up to the end of 1867 was 820 millions of lire.
