GERM4NYS FISCAL PROBLEM.

The Imperial Minister of Finance of Germany
abundantIv confirms the reports already men
toned in these columns concerning the need Of
and the preDar IRA tons which are being made for
sweeping reorganization Of the fiscal system
of the empire which shall include provision for
ultimate payment Of the debt and also q ma
1erial increase IN taxation. Indeed. the debt
itself. despite the arrangements for paying It
off, will have to he increased q little before n
satisfactory balance of accounts can be reached.
What is most necessary. Mr.. Sydow insists. is
prompt and considerable increase in imperial
taxation. sufficient or nearly sufficient TO meet
the deficit which now recurs yearly in an in
creasing amount The plan of decreasing ex-
penditures is not regarded as practicable, the
minister holding that the enormous increase in
expenditures, and consequently in the debt, has
been natural accompaniment Of national
growth and prosperity. which the nation ought
u be a bic 10 endure.
Official statistics strikingly reveal the extent
and character of the growth in expenses. It
Will be recalled that at the foundation Of the
empire il was arranged in order 10 guard
against possible deficits. that the individual
states should make contributions lM8trikular
beitr8ger TO the imperial treasury of which
there should be returned such assignments
Uberweissungenl as were not needed. In early
years nearly all the contributions were re-
turned. but in late years the proportion re
turned has been growing smaller at a rapid
rate Thus in 1904 the contributions were S54
9I2 800 and the reassignments S4S.9Sl. 80 leGv
ing a net contribution Of $3.50, 40 while in
1908 the contributions rose 10 $3.50. 900 and
the reassignments were only S4S 1874 coo max
ing the net contribution $37 $4,000 or more
than six times great four years ago
This increase of the demand upon the individ
the empires increasing its own direct revenue
and the need that in doing 1t shall avoid
trespassing upon the states sources Of revenue
The increase in expenditures has been nearly
universal in all departments Of the imperial
government excepting only the invads' fund
which has decreased In the four years from
1904 10 1903 the recurrent or regular expenses
for the army have increased by S23. O51 900. for
the navy by SS.4S2,5 500 for pensions by SIS, 325-
go for the treasury by $23 627. $50, and for
posts and telegraphs by S31. 063, $50 other
items swell the total 70 $110.4 SOC an in
crease of nearly % per cent in four years
There must he added the on-recurrent or ex-
fraordinarv expenses which, however, show
an inclination TO recur about as regularly as
the recurrent These. chiefly for army and
navy. have risen from $4L941.7J0 in 1904 to
SIS lgS $50 ia 1908, an increase of S46. 25d, 80
or more than 10 per cent. The grand total
of increase of both ordinary and special expen-
ditures has been $156, 753, 750, or more than

some critics OF imperial finance whether the

in his Finances of the Great Powers gives
statistics which indicate that such increase Oh

three times as much and In this country II Is

than one-third of the amount realized mere.
The German tobacco tax is a mere uite OF 412
cents against 81 10 in Austria, 81 10 in France
and go cents in America. There could surely
be no reasonable complaint of overtaxauoh Il
Germany should raise the rates on these aru-

arouse much popular enthusiasm. But H. rs
