JAPANESE DIET.
Government Party-VariOus Fl.
nancial Measures.

Japan Times, Dec 23.)
The proceedings of the Diet now
seem to be practically all smooth sail
ing in favor of the Government. On
Thursday the bill for increasing the
sake tax from yen per koku to IL
yen, and at the same time prohibiting
the brewing of sake for private con-
sumption, in order to protect the trade,
was passed in the Lower House, in the
face of amendments proposed by Mr..
Takagi and other Progressives
With regard to the making good of
the deficit of about six million yen, the
Liberals and National Unionists are
proposing to raise the rate of the to
bacco monopoly, besides increasing the
taxes on urban land and the Bank Of
Japan. The matter has already been
referred to the consideration of the
Government by Messrs. Sassa and Ha.-
seba, of the National Unionists, and
Messrs. Hoshi and Matsuda, of the
Liberals. The Government, however,
appears to consider it impossible to
obtain the necessary funds by the
measure suggested and therefore it is
very probable that charges on tele-
graphs and railways will be raised in
addition to an increase of the rate OF
tobacco monopoly.
