Japan 10 Levy War Taxes.

TOXIC, Special.---The government has
not fully disclosed the proposal con-
cerning the war taxes to be submitted
to the special diet but it now appears
as though il Will not propose any
change in the tariff in sugar, but will
Instead recommend domestic tax Oh
the basis previously stated. 1t now
seems proba bic that the only change
effected in the customs tariff will be
an Increased duty OH kerosene amt
spirits No discrimination wiz be made
against Russian kerosene, because that
trade is chiefly in the hands Of the
British merchants. it is anticipated
that there will be serious contention
in the diet over the taxes on sugar ana
silk and dealers in the former COM
modify are strongly agitating for re-
duction in the rate. Party committees
are meeting daily discussing the tax
proposals and the belief is expressed
that the government will be forced to
modify several features Of their plans.
If the tobacco monopoly is enacted it
is estimated that it will be ten years
before it is finally completed, although
the government counts upon ealD,ngs
from 1t in 1904 amounting to twenty
four million yen, gradually Increasing
Until 1914. when it is estimated they
will amount to forty million yen.
1t is estimated that It will cost the
government eight million yen to Dur-
chase the plants and STOCK required to
consummate the combine and fully
zine million yen to compensate the
owners.
