Gernan Prass Comment.

Berlin, Dec. 6.-The National lei
tung, touching on President McKinley's
message. says: THE message gener-
ally is couched in moderate terms and
does not indicate an intention to force
an entry into international politics"
The Vossische Zeitung expresses it
self as being disappointed at not finding
in the message the programme of the
newly initiated colonial policy"
The Tageblatt points out the contrast
between the presidents message and
the prolific demonstrations of the Brit
ish statesman, and says the message
"only cursorily refers to the Anglo
American understanding"

try in q war undertaken on behalf Of
humanity ard involving 50 much 10

It Is urged that the amount required
by the government shonid be raised
preferably by indirect taxation. This
means that II should be placed upon the
necessaries Of life. which would newt
ably lead TO Q higher price being de-
naanded for articles In daily use We
cannot see tho Justice OF taxing those
articles which are needed to sustain
life. and to obtain which 20 many people
are engaged in a constant struggle even
~ present prices. and leaving untouched
the surplus over mans wants.
The best system OF taxation will al
ways aim 10 avoid placing any burden
upon that which mans wants compel
him 10 buy. and place the burden upon
that which he Ii fortunate enough 10
acquire over and above his necessities.
Statistics show that the average de-
posIt Is less than four hundred dollars.
The tax on this average would. there
fore. be one dollar per annum. The tax
should not be borne by current deposits.
OF course, because much Of the money
standing to q mans credit Is merely
placed In the bank for safe keeping. and
often represents sums passing through
his hands In the course Of business but
not his own property. 1t might be said
that In order to evade the tax people
would exchange their time deposits to
call deposits: but this In not at all prob
abba, because 1t would mean sacrifice
OF interest. The usual interest on time
deposits is three per cent, but even If
Il were only two per cent. no man
would give up the chance Of making
Sits interest because. by paying the tax
he would not get two dollars.
A war tax Is an emergency tax, and
no citizen should seek to evade 1t when
II imposes no hardship.
