FISCAL BILLS IN DANGER.
German House Expected to Modify
Greatly Finance Measures.

Berlin, Nov, 2e-The conclusion Of the first read
ing Of the governments ten finance bills leaves the
fate of the whole scheme Of fiscal reform involved
in great uncertainty, although it seems practically
certain that all taxes proposed will either be
greatly modified in committee, to which the matter
has been referred by the Reichgtag wholly
tected.
Parliamentary critics. summing up the results Of
the seven days debate on the bills. say that the
estate duty. which IT was proposed to collect on
the death person. is doomed to rejection; that
trade will not have a majority in the House. and
that the brandy tax will take other form than
that suggested The stamped paper strip tax on
cigars and tobacco, modelled after the American
method, will also in al probability be rejected. but
increased tobacco will be adopted in
other form. The tax newspaper advertise
ulents apparently will fail pass, nearly all the
speakers in the Reichstag having declared against
It, while there is little likelihood of the adoption Of
the proposed tax On electricity and gas.
Considerable tension between the two wings Of
Chancellor Won Btilow's bloc party became ap
parent during the debate. Count Schwerin-L owtz
read formal declaration Of the Conservative party
TO the effect that its members could not support
the estate duties and this called a sharp reply
from the Radicals who said that they would refuse
TO cooperate IN passing tax scheme which did
not include some direct tax aimed chiefly at the
rich.
The National Liberals proposed g direct general
property tax, which the Radicals also favored.
The Clericals criticised the whole list OF bills in
dcating their purpose TO reject ell OF them The
Socialists pursued similar tactics. The bills prob
ably will remain in committee for three four
months, and the outcome will be something strik-
ingly different from the governments scheme.
