WAsHrNaros. April as.--Charie.
DENLY. United States minister il
China, in report 10 the department,
of state says: The system Of taxation
in China presents some decided con.
trasts 10 the systems in other coun-
tries. Taxes outside OF Pekin are paid
on arabic land only, the tax VARYING
With the crop and quality Of the soil,
Inside the city OF Pekin there is no
tax on land. houses or personal prop
erty. Goods passing through the gas<
pay q tax, but are exempt from taxa.
ton afterwards. The only tar on Land
and houses in Pekin is on the sale 81
real estate, ten per cent. being charged
on the price obtained on the property
sold. There Is also q tax resembling
license ices outside Pekin. Chinese
subjects are liable 20 be called ON to
perform certain duties whenever the
emperor passes through their districts,
but this duty may be avoided by the
payment Of . small tax. All money
spent on the public account in Pekin
comes from the imperial treasury, and
the expenditure Is not limited to funds
raised by taxation within the city.
The bulk Of the people in Pekin pay
no taxes whatever. The man who owns
his house and lot and his implements oI
labor, enjoys his earnings without toll
or deduction.
The minister closes with the follow
ing comment on Chinese taxation al
contrasted With the system of taxa
ton in the United States: "How
different this condition il from that oi
our own cities, where sometimes 3 per
cent. on a high valuation is exacted
Tor public purposes. To the absence
OF taxation of the body OF the people
may vel be ascribed the permanerce
OF the government and the tranquility
and contentment of the Chinese race.
The lesson of taxation in China might
be profitably studied BY the civilized
world, but in view of the national,
state, county, township and city In
dsehtedness piled mountain high, the
lesson must now be valueless to the
United States"
